The Booster and the Killer.

Nearly every town has two classes of
citizens the boosters ard the killers.
All the world loves the former. but
even the devil shuns the latter
Be a booster
The town booster is known by every
body, for he Is always doing and saying
something to push his town and its PEG
pie along He is the man who makes
the town. The killer Is the one who
destroys it.
Be a booster
The booster never loses anything 10y
his boosting He boosts other people
and other people boost him, and through
this combination of boosting great
things are accomplished 1t is only the
killer who falls Of his own weight. Of
/ his own words. of his own deeds.
Be a booster
The booster is like a ray Of sunshine
on cloudy day He brightens every
thing and everybody around him. His
geniality his cheerfulness. his energy
and his good deeds breed hope in the
bosom of despair His words and his
acts aid others and ennobIe himself.
But the killer only kills just kills kills,
kills
Be a booster
This town has many boosters, and
you all know them. you admire them,
you respect them. And your respect
is more precious to the genuine booster
than is your gold 1t Is only the killer
who stands alone without friends, with
out hope for the future
BE a booster
There may be killer or two in this
town, but we hope not But If there
are any We hope they will cease killing
and go to boosting. There Is no honor
or profit in killing but there is much
to be gained through boosting
Be booster
We need the booster we need more

OPPORTUNITIES COUNTLESS,

ISN'T 1T TIRESoME to hear a
young man nowadays complain OF the
Tack OF opportunity" for quick success
in business, or politics? This is the
veritable golden age. Were the Ia
mented Ingalls, alive today. he might
revise his poem and declare that OPP
portunity knocks at every mans door
every day and hour of the week. es-
pecially in Nevada and our golden
West.
Does the boy in high school cherish
an ambition to be railroad magnate
or millionaire? He only has TO
study the needs of the commercial
world to find a wealth OF opportunity.
The development OF water power oil,
gas, with the resultant hydroelectric
enterprises, now assured by the wise
and beneficent Wilson policies, will Of
fer opportunities for wealth to thou
sands Of men all over the land, and es-
pecially in Nevada and the West. For
instance, we must produce our own
nitrates, needed in vast quantity, as
the basis of gunpowder and other
things. The Chilean supply will be ex-
hausted in 1923.
Elko. which in future is to be city
of the first class, with many kinds of
manufacturing and commercial indus
tries, right now offers rich opportuni-
ties for wealth. Plenty of land is
available and water can be produced.
Any Industrious young man, starting
poor. can get rich in this section with
in few years in the hog-raising bust
ness. The field pea-an ideal feed
grows here to perfection. There are n
thousand other ways and means.
In politics, here and throughout the
country, the, field is unlimited and the
need is great. To be thoroughly con-
WINGED of this fact, read the Congress
sional Record. 1t will be apparent
that too many members without prop
er equipment for legislation and state
craft somehow break into Congress.
Naturally, they make monkeys of
themselves and are the butt of jokes
and Jobs put up by such worthless as
Grandpa Mann and Uncle Joe. Mr..
Mann especially is a holy terror.
Considering the political needs of
the country, and the fact that business
prosperity depends upon legislative
sanity and wisdom, the Independent
would venture the suggestion that our
high school teachers might do well to
use in their class in current events
the reports of the doings In the Senate
and House, as they appear in the Con-
gressional Record Almost every issue

Lord Kitchener stated recently that

war, the aeroplane and the subma rine
are the most efficient. They protect;
they destroy; they fight; they are
super-scout, super-befligerent.
The United States gave the aero
plane and the flying-boat to the world.
Our facilities In aeronautics are now
such that we can supply large num-
beers OF flying craft on reasonable no.
tice. There Is. therefore, no need for
haste, because aeronautics has under
gone greater development in the last
three months than naval things had
undergone in 100 years.
The main thing is to train thou
sands of sviators--teach them to fly.
Uncle Sam, therefore, proposes to de.
velop a great aircraft reserve, to be
utilized for the peaceful uses to which
aeroplanes are needed - for coast
guard, life-saving service and mail.

Nevada can use five or six aviators,
and Elko itself one or two. Certainly,
the battleborn state will furnish Its
quota. There are plenty of young men
awaiting the opportunity, eager TO try

TO do.
Boost this proposition. Help Uncle
Sam develop his Rough Riders of the

WHAT DID INDIAN THINK

Late yesterday afternoon, near
Idaho and Fifth streets, proud and
portly Indian, riding toward the
Heights upon a beautiful jet-black
pony with white-marked face, and
carrying a towsackful of merchandise
upon one arm and a large watermelon
upon the other. suddenly lost his grip
upon the watermelon and 1t crashed
crushingly to the ground with a dull,
sickening thud." $50 it must have
sounded to the Indian).
Many persons on nearby porches
laughed as they observed the calamity
and wondered what the Indian would
do.
For full two minutes he sat mo-
tionless upon his pony. gazing down
at the ruin of his precious watermelon.
A wayfaring man came along at this
moment and. seeing the red and lus.
cious heart of the Cucumis Citrullus,
thrust his fingers beneath II and
passed on with his face buried in the
for minute. motionless and silent.
What does the Indian think, Pa-pa?"
a little boy asked.
I'D hate to tell you, my son." the
parent replied.
When this incident Was described to
a student of psychology. who makes n
speciality of Analysing human motives
and action, he said: at is probable
that the Indian wasn't thinking at all,
but was slightly dazed by his sudden
misfortune. He might, however, have
been saying, over and over to himself,
one or two short and ugly words. just
as the average mortal does when he
smashes his thumb with hammer"
