Lkening the miners. who are de-

Iscariot. betrayer of Jesus Christ,
Rev. 3. D. Beck. Of the Grace Meth
odist church. Sunday denounced
them for their selfish" attitude.
They forget that public in the
dream Of their own selfshness." de-
clared Rev. Beck in his sermon. 1T
is merely an example of the grasp
ing spirit OF the individuals in the
world today.
1T is the craze for money and
self-improvement and the utter dis
regard for public good which has
caused this labor turmoil. If a man
allows one sin like that to enter his
life and does not Immediately strive
to overcome it. the sin will grow
upon him and he will find himself
in the shoes of Judas.
Beware Of Deceit
Beware of the deceitfulness of
riches" the clergyman warned his
congregation. DO not be grasp
ing tightwad or a spendthrift.
Rev. Beck asked his Pensioners
to contribute willingly and freely to
the Welfare organization in the pre-
sent drive. He said that by their
contributions they would show their
interest in the public good. and their
disregard OF self for the good of
others who were not so fortunate

PROJECT HAY MARKET IS
MUCH STRONGER NOW
Much Hay Sold From Local Surplus.
Shortage of Cars Is Factor Pre-
venting Rapid Shipment

More hay has been sold from the
project surplus during the last ten
days than during any corresponding
period since the crops were placed In
the stack. b. c. Archer, manager
of the Gray, Reid & Company store,
was the intermediary who placed
orders for 2S40 tons of baled alfalfa
during late days, while the |. II.
Kent Company has purchased a little
less than 1000 tons of the eommod-
ity during the last week. The rul-
ing price has been $1,000 per ton, it
is said. although the market is stiff
ening very perceptibly and it is not
unlikely that $500 per ton or bet
ter will govern in sales within the
near future.
II Is a fact that NeYada's only
surplus hay is on Newlands project
farms and with demands becoming
manifest in the various stock feed
ing districts of this and neighboring
states. active bidding for the local
product is confidently expected with
in the next few weeks.

QUAKE WAS SEIZED

An earthquake that shook Chin

The disturbance began at 5:5S.39
and lasted five minutes. The seis-
mograph record shows il to have

indicating that the shock recorded
was the one felt at Yerington.
The country around Yerington is
badly faulted. says Professor J. c.
Jones. geologist at Mackay School of
Mines. and the earthquake was
probably caused by a fault slipping
A similar shock was registered two
weeks ago. due to the same cause.
The cold weather of the past few
weeks has caused some trouble with
the seismograph and Professor
Jones had given 1t an overhauling,
and it was in fife condition to regis
ter the shock Friday morning.

FARMERS WEEK
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT

I Inc farmers and ranchers of Ne
Vada are being called upon to meet
plODiems OF peace that are more diff
ficult of solution than those con-
fronted during the period of the war.
says Dean &. S. Knight of the Uni
Perslty OF Nevada College of Agri-
culture. Only by the use of the
most modern methods of agricultur-
al practice will ii be possible to sue
eeed in the new era. With land al
most doubled in value and a possibil-
lty OF lower prices for farm products
the nevada farmer must necessarily
become student to his problems in
order to realize profitable returns
from his land and livestock.
The Annual Farmers and Home
makers Week will be held at the
University of Nevada January 1924,
1920, and will include illustrated
talks, demonstrations and discus
sions on The important probleny of
range management, embracing ami
NAL diseases, poisonous plants, ox-
termination of predatory animals
and open range regulation; crop pro-
duetion, including siiage and other
forage. grain production, important
p4-ng diseases, irrigation and drain
age; farm livestock, including i'm
proyement of herds and fioeks, dairy
practice, poultry management and
animal diseases; agricultural cooper
alton and agricultural experimental
tion in Nevada. The program for
the women of the State will cover
the important problems of the home
such as food, dress and home con-
yeniences.
The farmers and ranehers and the
women of Nevada are Urged TO at
tend this conference, since in no
other way can they receive so much
assistance in SO short a time con-
cerning reliable principles on which
TO base their policy IN meeting
changed conditions. The College of
Agriculture with all Of its faculty, its
laboratories, equipment libraries.
and classrooms will be open for the
exclusive use of the farmers and

The world is hungry for the

Ye Gods Must the vicious circle
continue? Shall we never see that
it is more hours we need. that to re-
duce the cost of the things we use,
we must produce not less but more?
Prices had gotten so high in this
country and merchandise SO scarce,
We sent two of our firm abroad, hop

lower prices. Merchandise is even
shorter on the other side than here
They have nothing to sell and their

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
MAY HINGE IN THE WEST
Republicans Realize That They
Must Break Into West to
Elect Next President

On Wednesday. the 10th instant,
/ the Republican national committee
met in Washington to consider the
next meeting place of the national
convention. San Francisco vas e
big bidder for the event. having
raised $150,000, all used in the AM
paign for that city, but Chicago won
the prize.
Twenty years ago there was no
thought of a national convention In
the west. At that time no one had
the temerity to propose a western
man for president. Today there Is
possibility of the nomination coming
to the west.
New York state no longer is pivot
al. The great east has ceased to be
the determining factor in president
ial elections In 1916 Woodrow
Wilson lost nearly all the large east
ern states Connecticut, Delaware,
Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Jersey, New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West
Virginia and Wisconsin were carried
by Chas E. Hughes. Still the Repub-
licans lost the election by 23 elector-
al votes, of which California con-
tributed 13.
From the West, Woodrow Wilson
received the following votes:
Colorado 6 Idaho 4 Montana 4;
Nebraska s; Nevada 3: New Mexico
3; NorthDakota 5; Utah A WASH
ington Z; Wyoming 8.
California was carried in 1916 by
Wilson by 3s06 votes.
This makes the west the fighting
ground for 1920. The Republicans
cannot expect to do much better In
the eastern states than they did In
1916. They must break into the
solid west to elect president.
Woodrow Wilson. although his
election depended on some three
thousand votes in California, had a
popular majority of 5S1,941. Twice
the candidate with the larger vote
has been defeated This first oc-
CURED in 1876, when Samuel j. Til
den, with 250,935 more votes than
Rutherford B. Hayes, was declared
not elected and again in 1888, when
Grover Cleveland, with a plurality
of 9S,017. was defeated by Benjamin
Harrison.
The greatest plurality ever given
was in 1904 when Theodore Roose-
welt had 2,545,515 more votes than
Alton B. Parker. Woodrow Wilson
almost equaled those figures in 1912
with 2,173,512 over Roosevelt and
2,S09,063 over Taft. The Republic
can forces were split in that elec-
ton.
In the election of 1916 there were
1S,502,676 votes cast.

granted recently on baled hay going

the rate is actually in effect and the

importance at this time in view OF

THE PRICE OF SHOES

There is food for a whole lot of
thought in the following item from
the columns of an exchange:
The cost of labor on a pair of
shoes retailing at SIS is reported to
have been 9S cents. and the price re-
ceived by the producer for the piece
of hide from which the leather was
made was even less than that.
Somewhere between the producer
and consumer the profiteer turks.
