One of our solid young men who
has been faithfully pegging away
from the bottom of the ladder to the
top was rewarded quite recently with
a merited promotion 1t is Mr.. Rom
yne Dillard and he is now foreman Of
the railway machine shops in our
city. He began at the bottom and
for nearly ten years has been on the
jcb. His many friends will rejoice
with him, not only that he has re-
ceived promotion, but that he has
richly merited it. 1t is lesson to
all young men to stay with a job
even If the time for reward is lit
tie slow in coming. The room at the
top is not very crowded but those at
the ton are ant to stick there closely
and the reward when 1t does come is
so much more satisfactory. The fore
man receives salary of $120 per
month and he does not always have
to wear overalls.

THE HIGH ROAD TO SUCCESS

Whenever a merchant talks to you
about hard times and bad business,
ask him how much his advertising
bill amounts to in a year Nine times
)ut of ten his hard times can be trac-

the horns and advertises in the home
paper, Is the man who has less of
hard times than any other business
man. Don't wait for the bad streak
% hit you but commence now and ad-
yertise. The Independent Is the best

'the state and is surpassed by none in
the state for local merchants and bust
ness men. Just try for once the pull
ing power of an advertisement in the

lar customer of ours by just one
rial advertisement. Let us put you

geo. B THATCHER CREATES SENSATION At IONOPAH|
ASKS FOR SPECIAL
LETTERS TESTAMENTARY

w. A. Hyde filed papers asking for
special letters testamentary in the
estate of Albert Hender this morn
ing in the district court The petition
er alleges that Albert Hender died at
Salt Lake city on September 20 and
at the time of his death was resi-
dent OF this county. He is survived
by widow and two children who
are living on the ranch in Utah. He
says that in this county are a horse,
wagon and harness belonging to the
estate and that the widow is in great
need of the use of them on the ranch.
Petitioner, w. w. Astle and W. III.
Hepworth were named in the will as
administrators and will apply for let
ters testamentary in the due course
OF time but owing to the delay neces-
s1taated by the way the law on that
subject is framed, it will be long
time before the papers can be gran
ted. He insists that the widow. as
stated above is in need of the prop
erty and that it would be a great saw
ing to take the team overland TO the
ranch now instead of sending by
freight but that if it is waited to at
tend TO the matter until letters of
Administration are issued the weather

be shipped by freight and to make

AMERICAN FARMERS
ARE NOT ALL EFFICIENT

One farmer out of every three in
this country is losing money as a
result of inefficient methods. Such
was the statement of Thomas Cooper,
director of the South Dakota expert
ment station, made before the Inter
national Dry Farming Congress. Es-
Inmates indicate that the average far
mer in this country receives As to SIS
cents from each dollar expended by
the consumer while farmers in most
European couptries receive so to IS
cents. In an investigation of groups
of farms located in townships in In
diana, Illinois and Iowa, 1t was found
that one farmer out of every % re-
ceived a labor income of more than
$4,000 a year; one of every three paid
for the privilege of working.
