EARLY SPRING ONIONS

The first week in September is the
time potato onion sets should be put
out. Remember that onions are
easily choked out by weeds and il q
little time and attention is given to
thelate onions in the fall it is pos
sible to have green onions very early
in the spring.

Straight Talking

Governor Cox has a message Of
action and he delivers it straight
and clean. Illustrating this power
of compressed expression in the fol-
lowing paragraph from his address
at South Bend:
'1f they should follow their own
steps backward. and they are so
used to moving in that direction that
they would not need compass, they
would find that every condition
against which they inveigh is Of
their own creation. They discuss
the high cost of living without APP
parently realizing that in large
measure, they are responsible for
the belated settling down of condi-
tions which have continued the high
living cost. The demand for food
stuffs has exceeded the supply.
Europe has been compelled to buy
because she is not producing, and
production in America has not NOV
ed back into its stride because
things economically are disjointed,
not only here. but everywhere"
Reading this, a picture must in
evitably be drawn in the public
mind-a picture of a world kept in
disorder and forced to bear heavy
economic burdens because of the
chaotic conditions which have held
on since the armistice was signed.
Then comes the story of the
cause of the heart breaking delays
in the restoration of peace and the
return of business stability. Cover
nov Cox gives the cause and places
the responsibility briefly and in
terms unmistakable:
IF the League of Nations had been
ratified months ago. exchange would
have been stabilized. Europe could
have started its work of rehabilita-
ton; its countries would not have
made a drain upon our food sup
plies. In fact, Europe would be
buying the things which we can
spare. The result of this would be
self evident. War taxes, which
should have been modified or re-
pealed when the war was over, were
not touched and the Republican
oligarchy in the Senate is directly
responsible"
Fortunately, the possibility Of the
election of Regency by which the
Senate oligarchy would continue its
policy has been lessened, as Cover
nor Cox says, by the action of Ten
nessee. 1t is, indeed, inconceivable
that the women of America can fail
to decide for peace as against war;

er springs up to take its place. In the
last so years mother earth has more
than doubled her producing capacity
per acre; she has yielded billions in
coal, iron, oil and precious stones.
There had to be an outlet for this
enormous increase in wealth and peo-
pie found it in luxuries.
The millions the nation wasted in
whiskey had to be diverted to some
other form of extravaganza, and they
went into automobiles. Prohibition
has made this a better but not rich
er nation. Its per capita wealth has
not increased to any appreciable ex-
tent; and If there lad been no auto
mobile industry the peoples earnings
would have gone into something else
to crafty their sense Of pleasure. The
spender is as necessary as the pro-
ducer. Without either the wheels of
industry would have to stop.

THE AUTOMOBILE SITUATION.

There are persons in Dillon county
who own and drive automobiles who
can't afford them, just as there are
similar persons in every town in the
United States.
How do they do it" is frequent
expression. Men whose financial stand
ing is known to be far from affluence,
drive around in autos as if they had
a stock brokers' income. Workingmen
and clerks nowadays know as much
about the roads around town as they
do of the streets in their own neigh
borhood - maybe more.
OF course, anyone who can afford
it might just as well run a machine.
The truth unquestionably is. howev-
er. that many running them rea
cannot afford to do so from the
standpoint of the cost of operation
compared with their income.
There was time in the history Of
the country when it was the
ambition of nearly every town
man to own his own home;;
and he would deny himself luxuries
in order to do this. Nowadays suc'
an ambition appears to be unusual.
The chief desire apparently is to own
a flivver and rent house. In fact,
we have known of families that pre-
ferred to live in a few rooms so as
to have enough capital to own a
machine.
There are men financially well able
to own and operate an automobile
who carefully refrain from doing so.
Everyone to his taste. Maybe they
are making a mistake and are miss
ing a great deal. And perhaps if a
those who do not own machines b"
could afford to do so, and those who
run them but can not afford to do s.
were to be counted and compared 1t
would be a case of $3.50.
The Railway Age prepared statistics
showing that the nation has been
spending as much money to rid
around in motor cars as the total
cost of all passenger, freight,
press and mail service Of the nation
combined. It nearly seems unreasor-
able, but is declared to be absolute
" true. In addition, the first cost of
all the automobiles in operation
amounted to half as much as all thu
railroads cost.
But it is a wise provision in the
great system of things that when you

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

Many men will offer many reasons
for the overwhelming defeat of the
Democratic party last Tuesday, and
the great majority of those reasons
will be the league Of nations coven-
ant which both parties made or en-
deavored to make the paramount is
sue. We do not profess to have any
well-defined reason for the Republi-
can landslide, but in our judgmen
the league of nations was not much
of an issue so far as the masses OF
the voters were concerned. They
knew very little about the league
covenant and cared less. Not one out
of every thousand had ever read the
convenant and many Of those who
read it could not understand it. The
Democratic party was unfortunate, il
that the whole nation was suffering
a period of business depression fol-
lowing three years of unparalleled
prosperity. When such depressions
come the party in power, whether
it be republican or democratic, must
take the blame, and never before
the history of the nation has a poll
tical party been the object of as
much adverse criticism as was the
Democraticeparty during the 60 days
preceding the election. The farmer o.
the south was sore and the wheat
and corn producers of the west an
northwest were bitter. The party's
only hope was the west and how
could we expect the western farmer
to 20 to the polls and cast his vot
for the Democratic party when he
felt that the administration was
rectly responsible for his misfor-
tunes? We do not say that such wa

which carried the party down to de-

BENEFIT DANCE
FORLEG|0NPOST

Saturday evening, July 9th two silk
American Flags purchased by the
Gardneryille Reading Room Associa-
tion will be present to Carson Valley
Post of the American Legion at q
public ceremony at the Star Theater.
A program of speaking and singing
will be given, after which the Wo-
men Auxiliary will give a dance.
Some years ago the Gardnerville
Reading Room Association was FORM
ed and something over a hundred dol
lars raised for the proposed reading
room, which. for various reasons did
not materalize. Recently the officers
held a meeting and voted to donate
the money raised to the American Le-
gion for the purchase of two silk flags.
The purchase price of the flags ex-
ceeded the amount donated and the
Women's Auxiliary have decided to
give dance on the evening the flags
are presented to the Legion with the
hope that the deficit may be made up.
Bakers orchestra will furnish the
music for the occasion and the ladies
