WESTERN CONSUMERS WEEK

The governors of six states-Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon,
Utah and Nevada-have issued prockmahons for a Western Consumers
Week" to be observed by the people of the six states during the week
of April 80.
The main purpose of Consumers Week is to cali attention and
patronage o articles raised or manufactured, first in the home state,
second in the neghboring states. 1t is to the interest of every citizen
of the intermountain states to build up and develop home industries, and
it is suggested that all public spirited men and women particularly COM
and western manufactured products
1t is hoped that the observance of Consumers Week generally by
the people of the western states will bring about a larger use and con-
sumption of the commodities grown and manufactured within the six
states, when such commodities are equal in quality and price with those
Of other states.

WHY PORTUGAL GOES TO WAR

The question of Portugaps entering the war has been truly inferred.
The statement of the legation in Washington makes the knowledge Off
ca1 that Great Britain called upon her to fulfil her treaty obligations.
One need not go back 500 years for precedents as the legation does
The two nations have been trade friends more than 200 years. since the
Methuen treaty wa signed; and since the Napo1eonic wars Portugal has
been bound to furnish 10000 troops at Great Brhains demand.
The British cabinet probably took this 1ong-de1ayed curse for N
pick reasons. In the dearth of merchant shipping, the German ships
seized in Portuguese harbors hay have been the chief reason Ten thous-
and troops would not go far in Western Europe now; BUT for a con-
sderaton Portugal can send ten times IS many, if equipped by British
money, and their assistance need not be despised.
What Portugal may gain by wal is another matter. The prize
may we'll be financial since she is heavily burdened in proportion to her
means. If the Entente wins the war, Portugal may be put O her feet
again. In any case, the government has probably chosen the lesser of
two evils. ~

MEANING OF LAW

An Arkansas man who intended to take up a homestead claim in a
neighboring state sought information in the matter from a Irish friend.
81 don't remember the exact wording of the law" said the Cdt, "but
car give you the meaning of it all right. It's like this: The government
of the United States is willing to bet ye 100 acres of land against $4
that y can't live on it five years without starvin' to death"
According to Germany, battering ones way through a neutral country
is purely a defensive measure while the carrying of a II by a steamship
for the purpose of holding off murderous attack is wantonly Offensive

SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEGUN IT

Some weeks ago the Appeal stated it believed the State University
had adopted the wrong policy in offering to do free assaying for resi-
dents of the state; that it a not only n injustice to the men who we're
paying license to practice their profession a $ assayers, but that many
people. prompted by penury alone, would take advantage of the offer
and pile work in tt such a extent that it could not be handled.
And the latter has proved the case. Within the last few days the
laboratory has received close on to 100 samples and in many cases un-
less the returns were mailed to the sender the following day, impairment
notes ere received respecting the work. Many of the samples we're of
the complex kind and took, not only time in proving their contents. but
the material used in the test often cost 81 or So. AS a result of the
annovance the university is about to call a halt m the practice of CIV
ing free determinations. It never should have begun it.
The Reno Gazette Of March 2lst had "a passenger aboord that wa

OVERLOOKING THEIR OPPORTUNITIES

At the reception rendered the Southern Pacific officials at the Sage
brush club Tuesday evening n of the most pertinent remarks made
during the course OF addresses va made by Mr.. Fulton, when he said
that in a weeks time 10000 pounds of vegetables and $4,000 dozens of
eggs had been received in Reno from adjoining states. He might have
gone farther and said that 90 per cen of the potatoes consumed in Ne
vada anne from abroad.
Both statements are true it must be confessed, but there is no reas-
O n why they should be. There is no country on Gods fooStool that
is better equipped than Nevada to produce the articles mentioned. The
state possesses the soil, climate and required amount of sunshine, every
thing to make for quick and perfect growth, but somehow its people do
not Or will not grasp at the advantages offered. Around Reno and Car
o alone there should be hundreds Of truck farms, able to furnish the
home market with all it could consume and leave enough to ship a
few carloads to outside points But instead the people rely o n the outside
for their requirements. Some day they will wake up and realize their
mistake, but the land will then be in the hands Of foreigners, the johnnies
come lately, as it WERE.

all others. Some of these new ideas
are monotheism. immanence. Gods

THE LISTENER.


Every man who does not know any,
thing, and most men who do know
something. love to talk about what
they think they know. or do know.
The close-mouthed merchant, the
yea, yea, nay, nay" sort Of a fellow,
who uses his mind more than his
mouth, will. If encouraged. talk for
hours upon any subject in which he
is intensely interested. His head is
storehouse of information, and. al
though It may have more entrances
than exits, he will open himself to
anyone who knows how to knock at
the door of his mind.
have a friend who, although not
literally educated. possesses more
general information to the square inch
than 80 per cent of educators have to
the square foot, and that is one hum
dred and forty-four to one. He OBJ
tained this knowledge largely because
he was a good listener and possessed
the ability to make others talk. II
he were riding on a train he would
select from among the passengers the
man who he thought was intelligent
and carried with him q heavy stock
Of information. In a diplomatic way
he would discover the strangers bust
pess or profession and the subject in
which he was the most interested.
He would turn the conversation in
that direction, asking an intelligent
question here and there, and showing
deep interest in the subject. He sell
dom failed to obtain the desired re-
suit. He met all classes of people,
from the classical student to the keep
| er Of a meat market, and from each
he drew a supply of information. much
Of which, naturally, was valueless. He
had sense enough, however. to realize
that he could not expect to receive
valuable Information alone; that he
must be content with chaff as well
as with wheat; but from each he drew
something worth while. The worth
while he remembered: the worthless
he forgot.
Conversation is, l believe, the best
medium for the obtaining of informa-
tion. Everybody has something of his
own of which he is proud, and which
he is willing to distribute.
Bear in mind. however. that the
listener is only half a man. He must
give, II he would receive. He. there
fore, is not only good listener. but
q good distributor. He exchanges
what he knows for what others know
plays a game of mutual winning, Civ.
ing what he can afford to spare. and
taking from others what they are will
ing to distribute.
Social as well as business life ia
based upon exchange.
Education does not consist Of receiv
ing and of not distributing.
II you give freely to others, they
will as freely give to you.
Conversation, rightly turned. leads
to profit. and is that kind of worl
which is both recreation and business
While you should give the prefer
ence to the acquiring Of information
which is directly in your line. do moi
confine your mental receipts to tina,
alone. Familiarity with general af
fairs, even though many Of them MAJ
not be OF direct benefit to you, broad
ends the mind and makes you better
able to use that part Of the informa
tion received which is part and par
eel Of your misunderstanding.
Don't be afraid Of knowing tot
much.

BE A MAN.
Man n made OF Dust.
Dust settles.
Be q man.

Dust settles.
Be q man.
Settle! That is q good word with
which to conjure.
He who does not settle his accounts,
whether they are monetary or 9TH
erwise. is not manly and does not
stand well among men.
Everybody is under obligation to
somebody. He owes money or ne
owes something beside money. He
cannot succeed, he cannot be true to
himself and to the world. unless he Is
under obligations to somebody or to
something. and unless others are un-
der similar obligations to him.
Reciprocity is one Of the first laws
of business and of every other depart
ment of life.
Alone. we amount to nothing. With
others there Is no limit to our attain
ment.
Many q man pays his bills promptly
and forgets to keep his engagements.
He is financially honest and socially
and otherwise dishonest.
An obligation Is binding. no matter
how small 1t may be.
II you agree to meet q man at Q
certain hour or upon certain day, II
is Just as. important that you keep
this engagement as it is that you pay
your bills.
Nothing detracts more from ones
reputation than carelessness in keep
ing obligations. however small they
may be.
Men of mark, men who rightly oc'
cupy high positions, never forget an
engagement, they are always on time
and they consider themselves under
obligations to thoss with whom they
come in contact, in business and out
of it. Their word is as good as their
bond, and their bond IL usually above
par.
do not find any excuse for profes'
sional men who are forgetful and who
do not appear to realize the impor
tance of meeting every obligation and
of keeping every engagement. Some
of them may excuse themselves by
claiming that their minds are preoc
cupied with other things. Sheer non
sense! The mind that cannot GRASP
and surround and meet an obligation
whether it belongs to a great scientist
or to a clerk behind the counter, II
not the kind of mind which IL pre-
destined TO succeed.
There IL no excuse for failure t.
meet an appointment or other obliga
ton, or for delay In answering let
ter which requires an immediate re
ply.
