Land Reclamation Scheme.

The British board of agriculture has
inaugurated a scheme for the reclama-
ton of land on the Lincolnshire shore
of the Wash. A bank is being con-
structed from Wainleet, q little below
Skegnees. to Preston. near Boston
(Lincolnshire). commencing at the
Wainieet end, and by this means it
is hoped to recover about 1900 acres.
The work is In charge Of a resident
engineer In Wainfieet and will employ
a large number of men, who will be
selected from ~demobilized soldiers and
sailors, and thus obviate the taking
away OF labor from agriculture. 1t is
said that In the middle of the last cen
fury a reclamation scheme was started.
and 1t was then estimated that a suffi-
cientIy large area would be redeemed
from the Wash to form a new English
county. The enterprise was abandon
ed. but experts have always maintained
its practIcability, which Is now in the
course of being tested.

standards abroad. MIR. Gompers
chose to throw what influence he had
to the Democratic candidates.
Not even a protective tariff could
sustain the high scale OF wages
reached during the war, but only a
protective tariff will prevent the
domination of the American market
by foreign products. 1t may be a
year or more before Europe and Asia
get into their full stride of production
for export, but ultimately the Ameri-
can market will be flooded unless a
reasonably high barrier is erected in
the form of protective duties.
Time will demonstrate that the Re-
publican party is the best friend OF
labor-of all labor, not union labor,
merely-and that the protective prin-
ciple is essential for American indus
trial prosperity. The war produced
an effect equivalent to that of a pro-
shut off imports but it created a new
and unprecedented market for Ameri-
can goods. The Republican party
does not advocate a prohibitive tariff.
but merely one that represents at
least the difference in cost of pro-
duction here and abroad, making am

workmen to enjoy.

incident with the de1ation process,
consumers have gone on a strike and
will buy only necessaries, thus caus-
ing lack of demand for goods and cor
responding decline in demand for
labor. If, when the demand for goods
returns to normal, we find the de-
mand supplied from Europe and Asia,
there will be no return of demand for
American labor. AS a matter of wise
precaution, therefore, an early return
to a protective system is highly i'm
portant."

KEEPING UP
ORGANIZATIONS

Every organization here in Winnie,
mucca was formed for some distinct
purpose. Every church, social circle
fraternal society or association had
originally a reason for existence OF
no one would have bothered to create
it. In most cases the original reason
exists in full force.
Yet 1t is the history of societies and
organizations that a lot of them are
constantly falling by the way. You
go into any city and look at their
directory of organizations, and you
will find many that never hold meet
ing and never will again. There are
some of that kind In Winnemucca.
Also there are some that can't fulfill
the function they set out to perform,
because of a lack OF interest among
members.
There are many people who join or
CARNATIONS with a hurrah, but
scarcely ever attend meetings. You
could not get them to serve on any
committee. They criticise the efforts
Of those who try to do something in
the official positions. Associations
would be stronger If such people
never Joined.
The advance of a community de-
ponds on the loyalty and energy of
the people who belong to its organi-
cations. 1t is through these associa-
lions that a own goes ahead and
gets things done. Individual effort
can accomplish little. Everyone
ought to give up some time to pro-
noting the work of these ~associa-
tions.
Those who can find no time for
such enterprises are frequently those
who spend many hours in aimless
loafing. Winnemucca has been ia
vored by the service of people who
have done splendid work in promot-
ing these forms of effort. But too
often a few people have been allowed
to do most of the work. There has
not been a correct spirit of co-opera-
tion-a spirit that carries with it a
desire to take off ones coat to assist
in work for community benefit.
There will be a meeting of the
Humboldt County Chamber of Com
merce next Wednesday night and
then would be O good time to start
work on a resolution to improve
this county. The first step is-attend
mcetings-and the time to do a thing
is now.
Let's all make one big effort to get
the ball rolling properly. We've all
got more time now than during the
war. Tomorrow nights the time
let's all be there.

RETAIL
PRICES

Almost every day WI encounter on
the streets of Winnemucca the man
or woman who calls attention to mar
ket quotations which show a decline,
and who want to know why retail
prices do not follow.
Retail prices do follow, in a ma
jority of instances, but the drop is
never as rapid 2s in the wholesale
markets. When the meat market, for
instance, huctuates a fraction of a
cen or a few cents, the retailer does
not lower his price Immediately be-
cause he has positive assurance that
the decline is only temporary, and he
may have to restore the price to its
old figure, or eve higher, tomorrow.
the price of their products recently
are crying aloud that it is the retailer
who won't return to pre-war prices.
In a lot of instances this is correct,
but our observation has been that the
retailers in this community are not of
that stripe. They are following the
market changes closely. and when a
decline warrants a retail drop they
act accordingly. In some cases, too,
it means a loss of money, since the
article sacrificed was bought at a
higher price.
1t is hard to place blame in its
rightful place during this period Of
readjustment, when all markets are
topsy-turvy to a certain extent. But
the wise retailer is the n who does
not over-stock, SO that, IL a still fur
Their drop comes. he will not be
caught with his money tied up. Don't
blame the retailer IL he doesn't slash
his prices at the very moment the
wholesale market goes off a cent or
two. There are two sides to every
question. Read the wholesalers and
then go and ask the retailer for his.

TAKE A BIG
FELLOWS EXAMPLE

William H. Rankin, president Of
one of the greatest advertising agen-
cies in this country and an expert in
dressed a meeting of business men in
New Orleans recently, and among
other things he said:
Newspaper advertising helped to
win the war and has come into it's
own-very largely, I think. because
of the splendid work done through
newspaper advertising pages for the
Red Cross, Liberty Loan and every
wartime activity. Nearly every de-
partment in Washington is clamoring
for paid newspaper advertising space.
The army has just completed a sue
cessful campaign, spending NOR
than 5000, 900 in newspapers. And a
campaign costing even more is being
pushed to secure naval enlistments.
S~eventy-five per cent of all money APP
propriated by Uncle Sam goes into
newspaper advertising"
That certainly ought to be of in
terest to Winnemucca merchants, or
anybody, for that matter, who has
something to sell. If Uncle Sam
spends three-fourths of his advertis-
ing money in newspapers, isn't it
pretty good argument that newspaper
advertising is better than any other
kind? Doesn't it show that it beats
billboard and fence signs. and loud
and gaudy stuff stuck along the high
ways? Isn't it pretty good argument
that to get the worth of yor advertis-
ing money. the biggest part OF it-at
least three-fourths Of it-must be
spent for newspaper advertising?
Your Uncle Sans experts are the
finest advertising men in the world
And IL they have spent millions in
testing it out and find the newspaper
to be the best advertising medium In
the world, isn't their tip worth some
thing to you?

WAR WITH

1t won't down and it won't stay
quiet when it is down-this old bug
aboo about our having war with
Japan. We are hearing a good deal
of it just now, but it is coming largely
through fear. There is a possibility.
of course, hat we are going to have
some very serious questions to settle
within the next few months, ques
tions involving our relations with
both Japan and Mexico. But we do
not believe, and we feel Winnemucca
citizens who are watching events
closely will bear us out, that Japan
is as anxious to become involved In
trouble with the United States as
some would have us believe. In fact
since she had an opportunity in the
world war to get a slight idea of what
