A Commercial
Club Drive
Churchill County Commercial Club
to Institute Membership
Drive in January

The Churchill County Commercial
Club authorities, admittedly the
heads of a live and effective civic
body, have announced an intention
to solicit new members during the
month of January and should make
of the organization a Greater Com
mercial Club" that may extend It's
functions to a degree that will spell
innovation for this community in a
most emphatic sense. The men,
bership drive will be undertaken
under the leadership of club COM
mittees who declare at this time the
purpose of increasing the member
ship from 127, the present figure,
to more than 800 In order to en-
compass this happy end and thus
secure the complete cooperation of
every enthusiast in the valley, club
representatives will solicit and so
licit some more and nothing is to be
left undone that would tend to make
the enterprise the huge success that
is warranted. The Commercial
Club has already won its spurs in a
decided manner 1t has improved
our train service, introduced har-
mony in many confounding local
situations and best of all has sent
message to a multitude of pros
pectiye settlers who may come here
at future date TO add their capital
and industry to the task of making
this valley into the great, home dis
trict warranted by potentialities.
Many new people have already been
attracted to this valley directly
through the efforts of the CONNER
cial Club and these attest in no IN
certain way the effectiveness of past
activities. The Clubs officials un-
derstand better than any one else
the importance of this process and
what is needed to make II what IL
should be and the membership drive
is To be undertaken in the hope that
the fullest possible cooperation may
be secured in the endeavor to fully
settle the Newlands project and at
the earliest possible date.
Charles b. Hall, interested in
Churchill county mining develop
ment, and a former worker with
commercial organizations, has vol
unteered his services In the drive
and is to direct the movement.
President II. A. Clarke appointed
others to assist Mr. Hall as follows:
w. A. Keddie, general, b. c. Archer,
adjutant general, with 10 captains
under them, consisting of L. f.
Cline, S. IL. Fort, j. p Eldredge,
Jay L. Heady, Mr. Barney, John #
Lehners, ]. +. Milton, w. ID. Moody
Geo G. coverston and Nicholas

How to Avoid
Panicky Times
SAT- Lake Paper Tells Public Thai
ia"'es are Pigments of Fancy and
Can be Avoided by Prudence

ihe following, the editorial ax-
preston of the Salt Lake Deseret
news, Is one of the best articles
ever published on the subject to
which i pertains:
IL Is perhaps inevitable that times
Will be hard for the next several
months, perhaps for a year or two.
nut II VIII not help any to keen
ones self and ones neighbors all
stirred up about IT,
The commercial boom structure
created by the war has begun to
tumble; sections of 1t have alread,
crashed. Quite naturally those who
are involved in its stability or whose
welfare depends upon its strength
are apprehensiye and worried over
its threatened destruction. For
there Is likelihood not only of losing
that which was put into the strue-
ture, all too hurriedly erected, but
there is danger of being buried in
the debris. II is not to be wondered
that many people are worried.
However, nothing will go further
to hasten the crash of this structure
than wild and loose talk about
what is coming. The building Is too
heavy and insecure; il has reared
itself far too high for its founda-
tions. There are two ways by
which IL can come down: by careful
and gradual stages, or by a crash
The one means safety and ultimate
soundness; the other means disas
ter. And there is no surer way To
bring this disaster than to spend
the time spreading forebodings and
gloom. A clear head and steady
hand, cooperative helpfulness in
stead of wasteful pessimism, will
bring the proper adjustment and all
will be well.
Get enough people talking about
panic and there is likely to be one.
Arouse suspicion against a CONNER
cial situation and II will prove fatal.
Persuade timid depositors TO with
draw their money from the bank,
and everybody is injured. Create
fear and il will spread like wildfire
through dry grass. These are some
of the things not to do when hard
times seem 10 impend

ALFALFA ASSOCIATION
ELECTS OFFICERS

Enthusiastic attendance at the
Alfalfa Association in the CONNER
cial Club rooms showed the conf
dence of the membership in the
plans of work outlined by the as
sociation. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
Thomas Williamson, president: ].
T. Theyer, vice president; DR.. J. G.
Ferrell, treasurer; L. e. Cline, sec
retary
The work so far outlined for the
coming year will be q continuation
of the plan being carried out at the
pres t, viz: the advertising
throughout the country of the agri-
cultural resources of the Newlands
project, emphasizing the advantages
it offers for dairying. Along with
this advertising, mention has been
made of the surplus of alfalfa hay
for sale. Through this phase of
advertising it is hoped that some
relief may be brought to those who
have hay which they wish to ship
out. Inquiries are coming in now
from as far east as Wisconsin from
dairymen who are interested in our
project as a dairy center.
For the short time that this as
sociation has been in operation, the
results are very gratifying. II is
the hope of the association to in
crease the dairy stock in the valley
by next summer sufficient to utilize
any surplus hay that is left OF
hand at that time and fortify our
selves against what promises to bt
an uncertain market next fall.
The correspondence of the associ
alton is open to any of the member
ship who may be interested in re
plying to any of the inquiries re
ceived.

Federal Aid
For This State
Manner of Securing Federal Aid
For Highways is Explained by
Nevada's State Engineer

Portions of speech delivered by
c. c. Cottrell. state highway engi-
neer before the organization meeting
of the highway advisory council held
recently in Reno are published below
for the reason that many people do
not understand the methods in vogue
affecting the road building program
of this state:
The first Federal Aid Road Act
was passed in 1916 by Congress,
having for its object the requiring
of each State the formation of a
Highway Department, through
whom the main highway work of
the State was to be done That, |
believe. was the particular object in
view of that particular piece of
legislation. A secondary object was
the appropriation of $75,000,00 to
be given to the different States for
the purpose of assisting them in
financial way in this particular
work. The third object was that
the Federal Government would CO.
operate with the various States in
technical way in the construction of
highways.
Experience had been gained by
the Office of Public Roads, through
a great many years of study, Of
conditions throughout the country,
that these three things were vitality
necessary, and these three things
were Incorporated in the bill and
were the main reasons for the pass
age of that Act This $75,000,000
was divided among the States In ac-
cordanee with three conditions and
in a ratio with the balance of the
United States:
ID AS to the area of the State
and since we were one of the
largest States of the Union, natural
ly came in for considerable share Of
that money.
(2) The population of the State
by reason of the fact that we
had a very small population, we re-
ceived practically nothing on that
account
t3) The miles of post-road in
the State. This last provision was
put into the Act in order that it
might be made constitutional, for
the Constitution of the United
States provides that the Federal
government cannot aid any i'm
provement within the various states
except. | believe. under the follow
ing conditions:
1. For the general welfare of the
Nation.
2. To construct post-roads.
g. As means of protecting the
country from invasion.
The amount of money given to US
under that Federal Aid Road Act
was s962,6S4, which could be OBJ
tained by this state for the con-
struction of roads only after GER
tain requirements we're met. One
of these requirements, and the par
/ ticular one, was that each state
should put up an equal additional
amount of money. The funds given
to us by the Federal government
and that raised by the state could
only be USED IOr tne Improvement
of some sort of comprehensive sys-
tenn of highways such as was desig-
mated as our State Highways Sys-
tenn by the Legislature of 1917.
The first requirement was that
no Federal Aid money could be se-
cured except for that particular
system Since then the law has
been amended in certain matters so
that Federal Aid can be extended
under certain conditions for other
roads.
The Act of Congress of 1916 was
amended in 1919 by an additional
appropriation, totaling for this state
