In Years Gone By
TAKEN FROM THE FILES
OF THE SILVER STATE
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

George Henkel has one of the latest
improved monographs on exhibition
at his place of business in this city.
He has also ordered an Edison kinte-
scope and intends to start out on the
road with the new wonder as soon
as it is perfected and the manufac-
ture started.
The Indian fandango started across
the river last night, but it was not
a success by any means. The In
dams were all too lazy" to dance,
according to the chief.

UP A
COUNTRY TOWN

1--WE need something that will as
sist in bringing merchants together,
as well as farmers, village folks, and
merchants. It's everybody for HIM
self here, end the devil take the hind
most"
In the above graphic language an
editor recently described the civic
conditions prevailing in his town. AT
first thought it would seem almost
hopeless to try to develop a town in
which the spirit of unity is so lack
ing.
If half the people stand On n side
and throw cold water while others
try to do something, community en-
terprises cannot be a success. III
there are jealous and bitter rivalries,
if business men never consult each
other about mutual interests, if diff
ferent sections of the town, and the
town and rural elements are antagon-
istic, you can't get impetus and mo-
mentum enough to put over COM
munity projects.
Yet the conditions our editor friend
describes are just what have existed
in hundreds of towns that have de-
veloped civic movements. So let no
community be discouraged merely be-
cause the spirit of knocking exists.
The cold cynicism of the most con
firmed kicker can be penetrated by the
right appeal. Show him what other
towns have done through civic and
business movements. Tell him the
story of actual results accomplished,
of business built up, community ia
cilities created, educational institu-
tons developed. You can plant a
spark of faith in his heart. Then put
him on some committee where he will
have to do something besides knock,
and he may make the best worker in
the bunch.
The results that can be accom-
plished when you get all elements of
a town and its surroundings working
together, are marvellous. And what
has been done in hundreds of other
towns, can be done in Winnemucca.

ELKO BANKERS DISCUSS PLANS
FOR ERECTION OF BUILDING

1t is very probable that Elko will
have a fine new bank building during
the early part of 1921, says the Elko
Independent. Senator Charles b.
Henderson, Lou Henderson and DR..
Joe Henderson met in Elko during the
week with President John Henderson.
for the purpose of discussing plans
for the erection of such a building
for the Henderson Banking Company.
At first it was proposed to build the
new bank this year, but material has
increased so that the plan was aban-
doned. 1t is believed that prices will
moderate in such a n during
this year, however, that the plans
can be carried through next spring.

ALL SEEK
THE SHORT CUT

Undoubtedly humanity's greatest
will-o-the-wisp is the short cut.
With a hypothetical short cut and the
genius for advertising almost any
body can garner enough shekels to
feed fat his purse and insure an old
age of opulence. Everybody seems
bent on achieving ultimate ends in a
short time. At least everybody is
willing to sacrifice a goodly part of
his savings for the privilege of trying
it.
Kindly disposed persons who pro-
pose to orient us i~nstanter, claim to
accomplish truly remarkable results.
Despite the depressing prevalence of
~mediocrity they guarantee to make,
in three or four months, a $40, 000-a-
year man out of every Tom, Dick and
Harry that carries a dinner pail.
Those of US who weigh 800 or more
can reduce to IT'S in only fifteen or
twenty days, and those of us who
rattle along at 120 gross can "fat"
up to standard in the same brief time,
All of this, understand you, without
the knife or the bellows. If we shall
only submit pleasantly and remit in
stantly we can achieve will power

Why not be foolish ono in awhile?
People who are always extremely
serious and sensible seem to die with
considerably regularity.
In Persia If a man says three times
to his wife, Il divorce you," why they

Senator Capper of Kansas writes
Secretary of Commerce that there are
1.600, 900 pounds of surplus pork in
Kansas which the %profteers are fear
full will be left on their hands, as they

it a fellow has to take the banker
off into his private Office before going
to the market and negotiating for a
