GREETING THE
FARMER

How do you greet the farmer when
he comes to Winnemucca? Is your
greeting such that he feels that he
is with us but not of us. or is he
made to feel that he is in his town,
among his people and with his
friends?
The making or the marring of this
town depends greatly upon your at
titude toward the farmer when he
favors US with his visits. He is the
backbone of the community and with
out his aid and encouragement this
would be an unsuccessful place in
which to do business. We ride out
into the country and the farmer ex-
tends the hand of fellowship and bids
us welcome. When we leave he in
vites us to come again, and he does
so in a sincere and honest manner
But is our welcome and our leave
taking marked by such sincerity?
We Of the town are proud of the
farmers of this community, and of
their wives and sons and daughters.
They are men and women of a high
crder of intelligence, whose integrity
Is beyond question and whose thrift
and energy and perseverance Is trans
forming the countryside into a hive
of industry and wealth. But we fear
that we of the town are often forget
ful Of the great duty that we w to
them for their loyalty and generosity
in support of our business enter
prises. So let us constantly seek to
cultivate a spirit still more friendly
and neighborly and open up our
hearts that the farmer may look with
in. For we are but one big family,
with one common interest. and the
welfare of one is and always will be
the welfare OF all.

high lumber prices, together with
high wages and high costs of mater
ials have been holding back a build
ing campaign. 1t has been hard to
get materials without annoying and
costly delays. 1t costs from $50 to
270 per cent more to build today in
many parts of the United States and
or the farms is reported to be in
proportion to the decrease in towns
and cities.
The prices of food, clothing and all
other commodities averaged last year
in cost between 2 and "a times as
much as in 1913, so lumber may be
expected to more than double the
pre-war basis. Yet it appears that
lumber prices during the spring of
1920 were considerably higher than
costs justified. Lumber selling at
$40 in 1919 jumped to $50 in March.
1920, an u~nwarranted increase and
one which hurt business. Right here
in Winnemucca We know of building
that would have been done but for
this tremendous increase. And yet,
the lumber market is as uncertain as
it was nine months ago.
Now comes a report that the gov
erEment Is to try its hand in lower
ing lumber and building material
prices, in the hope that next spring
there will be an old-time building cam
pagin all over the country. And in
justice to the man who has worked
for years saving up enough to build
his W home it is about time some
thing was attempted.

Why We'll Vote
For Republicans
Personnel Of Parties

The personnel of political parties
are much alike. The Democratic
party. equally with the Republican
marty. believes in good government,
| and seeks to the utmost of its wis
| dom TO secure and maintain good
times" and to satisfy the public. The
Democratic party always does the
| best 1t can. and that is the n dis
! %couraging feature. If 1t could do
better than ii does, or better than 1t
| ever has done. the result of this cleo
| ton would be less important. IN
au~estionably the reason why the
| Democratic party always fails is the
| fact that it is a party Of ~expediency
md inexperience. The only funda-
| mental principle to which 1t has con-
| sistently adhered tariff for revenue
only-is There Is also n
policy and practice. first announced
by Andrew Jackson, from which the
Democratic party has never swerved:
ITO the victors belong the spoils."
Well Meaning, But nl-Advised
In this connection we want to say
a kindly word for the Socialists, and
their little brothers. They all seek
to advance the interests of their fell
low men. They are simply misled
rom being i'll advised. In earnest
ness, zeal and good intentions they
compare favorably with the person
mel of either of the great parties. So
sincere are they that many of them
would die for their convictions. and
practically all of them do contribute
literally to their propaganda. That
can be said neither of Republicans or
Democrats. II you doubt the state
ment start out to raise a fund from
among men of wealth, whose every
dollar Is threatened by co~nfiscation,
and whose lives are in peril from sew
eral distinct groups of these good
mentioned radicals, the FUND to be
| used in a counter propaganda of
san Americanism. You cannot get
rom the aggregate of American mil
~lionaires. for the purpose of ex-
| 'inguishing incipient fires, one-tenth
| Of what is annually spent for torches
| with which to light these fires.
Do you know how we harmonic
our admissions of their sincerity with
what we fully recognize to be their
avowed purpose? We answer: If
| they were not sincere they would not
be dangerous.
