NEVADA Will BE REPRE-
SfNTED AT DtNYER SHOW

1t now appears that Nevada will
participate in the international Soil
Products Exposition to be held in con
~uection with the International Dry
Farming Congress, Denver, September
2G to October 10.
This participation will be made pos
sible through the cooperation of the
United States Department of Agrieul-
ture. which will finance the gathering
and transportation of an exhibit from
the State Experiment Station at Reno,
and through the effort of commercial
bodies of the state.
The Experiment Station exhibit Will
form the nucleus Of a fine state dis
play, the balance being made up of in
dividual and district exhibits gathered
by the commercial bodies.
The Exposition is the greatest agri-
cultural show of the year in the West,
not even excepting the great Coast Elk
positions, and the fact that the Nevada
display would be viewed by something
over $4,000 people is ample evidence
that the small expense attached there
to will be more than justified by the

Want NEVADA PO-
TATOES FOR EXHIBIT

To the Readers Of the Silver State:
The p. p. l.. f. is arranging for a
potato show of Nevada potatoes and
We are hoping to be able to comply
with their request and show the entire
world the high-elass potatoes that are
being raised in Nevada. Briefly, our
plan is to present to the public a spe-
cial display of stmarket' potatoes in
oul Agricultural Exhibit beginning
October 70, 1915.
What we want from you, the grower,
and from each one Of your neighbors
who grows potatoes, is: Two apple
boxes of your best potatoes; packed
carefully; selected very carefully for
the following points:
(a) Smooth skin.
(b) Even color.
(c) Even size-no freak shapes.
(d) Medium weight-preferably n
third to one-half pound each.
To meet all these conditions, il will
mean some of your time in special Sc
lection at the time these potatoes are
dug. to avoid bruising and to insure
their keeping.
We feel that such commercial pub
licity will prove to the entire world
where the best potatoes are grown,
and your personal interest will mean
much toward the success of the ex-
hibit.
We are offering a silver cup for the
best exhibit of any single grower of
Nevada to be awarded by a selected
jury of three men well versed in po-
tato culture.

A HIGHLY APPRECIATED COM
PLIMENT

The Coconino Sun of Flagstaff is a
generation old. 1t celebrated its thir-
ty-third year last Friday and is yet
only stronger and luster youth than
ever. Like all Arizona newspapers,
started that long ago, in the early
eighties, it has passed through some
strenuous times, SO strenuous that
comparatively few have survived
them. To have done so, means sue
cess even though the owner of the
paper may not have become million
aire.
Flagstaff was not much of place
when the Sun rose there, but under it's
genial beams the Skylight City has
thiven and grown and the Sun has
grown with it. How much Flagstaff
has contributed to the growth of the
Sun and to what extent the Sun has
been responsible for the growth of
Flagstaff it is hard to say. But we
suspect that they have been mutually
helpful. We have seen some mighty
good towns which have supported on
ly some mighty poor newspapers and
we have seen some mighty poor news
papers and we have seen some mighty
good newspapers in mighty poor
towns. But these are not oft-recur-
ring phenomena. A good newspaper
in good town shows some admirable
team work.
AS Colonel Breen, the owner and
editor Of the Sun, says, it has never
been personal "organ." He has tried
to make it a whole orchestra" play

staff and Coconino county and North
ern Arizona. Phoenix Republican.

A Tucson citizen is having speci-
weather bureau and town named
Tatoosh. 1t isn't the similarity of

weather bureau goes out eleven miles
in the country to get the weather and
then lays it to Tucson. Naturally that
is provoking for citizen of Tucson

The Citizen is right. We wouldn't use

WHY WORRY?

Why worry about heredity? Take
what you have inherited into your
own hands, and under your own will
shape it into what you would have it
to be. If you have inherited a weak
body, by right living you can strength
en- it; if you have inherited weak
lungs, you can make them strong by
keeping them filled with fresh air day
and night; if you have inherited any
predisposition to any disease or weak
ness, you can overcome this tendency
by cultivating good habits, especially
those counteracting the weak tenden-
cies.
The Coconino sun., 1915-11-26
VALUE OF SUN ADVERTISING

The sun has bona fide subscrip-
ton list of 1900 subscribers and it is
growing larger gradually every day.
This list of subscribers means that
advertisers get the full value for their
money every week. The Sun is a
local paper for local people. We have
never attempted to make it cover the
war in Europe and vast amount of
stuff from Amsterdam to Rotterdam,
for we do not believe the people of
Northern Arizona care tank site for
such stuff ordinarily. Because of the
fact that The Sun reaches the best
portion of the people in this section
of the country and because it contains
news of direct interest to the people,
we know that it has the value as an
advertising medium. Some advertis-
ers seem to think that if they have
several dodgers printed and thrown
out in the street, they are real adver-
tisers and because they fail in results,
lay it all to the failure of advertising.
The advertising end of any business
is just as much Importance as the buy
ing end.
A clerk that merely slams down
goods on the counter with "take it
or leave it" air is no salesman and he
wouldn't last long in any up to date
business house. A business man who
buys goods and slams them on his
shelves with the same air, is no bust
ness man-it is up to him to get busy
with the public and get them inter
ested in his stock of goods. Every
body knows me" is about the rotten
est argument that merchant ever
made. 1t usually goes with final fail
ure or a mere dragged out existence.
Everybody, or nearly everybody,
knows the names and addresses of the
big mail order houses too; but do
these mail order house let the matter
rest there? We should say notl They
have something special to offer all the
time. They are alive to the situation
and know that they can attract trade
by attractive advertising.
As matter of fact many concerns
do business by main strength, when
the exercise of business ability and
proper advertising would double the
business that they are merely doing
by main strength and ackwardness.

In his speech to the Manhattan Club
at New York the President again COM
planned that he does not feel free to
express his opinions as other men can.
In view of the radical change which
has come over his expression of opin-

the past eleven months, his querulous-
ness seems hardly well-founded. How
ever, let him cheer up. After sixteen
month he will be at liberty to talk as

by no means likely to regard his
