I itors in their rash dives into this sub
jeet are really amusing to man who
has been thrown into contact with
those who really possess scientific
ideas of this preparedness" thing.
| Now, the writer is one of the FORUM
ate ones who has been thus enlighten-
ed by such contact, and to degree af-
fording him the right to laugh at the
efforts of some editors to show how
little idea they actually possess of
scientific preparedness.
He is the proud father of a twelve
year-od kid who. when it comes to the
question of quick and accurate think
{ ing ana formulating scientific plans
right off the bat, makes all the pre-
paredness" sharps - from Woodrow
Wilson on down--look like pikers. To
elucidate:
This prodigy answers to the name OF
sam. He has younger brother who
answers to the name OF Albert at
meal times Cat other times he doesn't
answer at alb.
A few days ago these two were
standing in the open gate of their yard
and they observed goat-of the va
riety commonly called Billy-On the
pavement several doors up the street.
Sam decided to Cd up and form the
goats acquaintance. Albert decided
that his calling list was sufficiently
full already, and he remained in the
security of the open gate.
Approaching to within a few PAGES
OF the goat Sam opened the converse
ton and began-to explain that if he
the aforesaid goat-would only come
down on nissan s-premises he
would have a lot Of fun. This evil
IDENTIFY did not fit in with the particu-
lar plans the goat had formed for that
day, or he had eaten something that
did not agree with him, possibly.
At any rate, he lowered his head
and began to wiggle his tail Now,
even an editor knows that when a dog
wags his tail it is a sign that he is
friendly, ora the worst, neutral. But
goat does not possess, enough tail
to wag, so the best he can do is wiggle
it; and when he does wiggle it, it
carries an entirely different meaning
from that conveyed by the wagging
process on the dogs part. Sam was
not exactly posted about this wiggling
thing, but he felt satisfied that no
scat WHO had any IDEAS of proper Ell
Quet would lower his head in the man
ner this particular goat did. when
meeting q new acquaintance, so he
decided to return to his own premises
and snub the goat. The goat started
at the same instant Sam did, Sam be-
ing about two jumps in the lead Now
for the proof of my claim that this kid
possesses more actual scientific ideas
of preparedness than all the alleged
sharps put together:
Beginning with the very first jump,
and repeated with each succeeding
jump, he yelled: Don't shut the gate,
Albert; don't shut the gate," and his
last yelled admonition was only con-
cluded as he disappeared in the front
door of his house, still tow jumps in
the lead
Talk about ideas on preparedness. |

.INYO REALIZES
Its HEAVY LOSS
TELLS HOW ToNoPAH AND GOLD
FIELD MARKET MAY BE
RESTORED

The Bonanza has drawn attention in
both its local and editorial columns
to the loss of a valuable market both
here and in Goldfield by the ranehers
of Inyo county. Comment on this
important subject is made by the
Owens Valley Herald:
The lack OF cooperation among the
ranchers of Inyo county has cost
them many thousand dollars It will
cost them more thousands unless
some intelligent and comprehensive
plan for marketing the products OF
the ranches of the county is adopted.
As set forth in last weeks issue of
the Herald the rich Nevada market,
which at one time absorbed a large
portion of the food stuffs grown here,
has been practically lost. This mar
ket rightfully belongs to lnyo coun-
W. Ii was lost, not because the peo-
pie OF Tonopah and Goldfeld prefer
10 Duy tlSeMntlct buA btt"uoN 80"
ers here, on account of the lack OF
system and organization, were unable
to supply them with the kind of prod
ucts they wanted, in the quantities
they wanted. and at the time they
wanted them. 1t is claimed by Ne
vada dealers that goods sent from here
are in most cases improperly packet
and that individual growers have
been extremely careless in filling or
ders. If the Nevada market is to be
regained these faults must be over
come. They can only be overcome by
cooperation 1t is useless for one
grower to attempt to establish a
market for his products by careful
handling and packing if his neighbor
destroys the good impression made
Z by carelessness and lack of system
Cooperative marketing is new
thing, it is not an experiment. II
4 is now being successfully carried on
in many parts of the country. There
is hardly community in the state Of
California of any importance but has
some organized methods of handlinl
its products. In these days of keel
competition it has come to be rec
ognized as the only intelligent AM
profitable method of marketing. s
universally has this come to be rel
Iognized that bill has been introduce
; in congress providing for a nationt
marketing commission. A similar bi
has been introduced in the legislator
of this state providing for stat
