WORLDS BEST SELLER.

The Bible is still the worlds best
seller. owned by more people and actu-
ally read by more people than any
other book ever written or complied.
This is It's record year after year.. The
figures OF the American Bible society
show that In 1919 that society printed
3,4O0.000 volumes. of which 100000
we're complete Bibles. 100000 were
complete New Testaments and $780,
900 were portions Of the Scriptures.
During Its existence of 104 years II
has printed 140.0O0.OOO volumes, of
which 6.67S,301 were New Testaments
distributed to soldiers of our and other
armies. This Is a great record. but
there are other large publishing houses
which issue Bibles In various sizes and
styles, chiefly In the United States
and England. These add hundreds 0
thousands to the number of Bibles and
Testaments issued every year.

LET NATURE
TAKE ITS COURSE

Once upon a time, at a certain
county seat not so vary far from
Winnemucca as the crow flies, or as
the jackrabbit runs (but about a
thousand miles by railroad), a board
Of commissioners built a really cred
table park with a nice artificial lake
in it. When the great improvement
was completed the officials held. a
meeting to dispose of final business.
and to congratulate each other, and
the county, and the town, and every
thing. Worked up to a high state
of satisfaction and accommodation,
a commissioner moved that a half
dozen ~gondolas be purchased and
placed on the artificial lake.
The idea was a big one. But finally
the local watchdog of the treasury
moved an amendment. He said he
fully approved the sentiment behind
his brothers motion, but because of
the great expense which already had
been incurred he believed it would be
the part of wisdom to purchase only
a pair of gondolas to be placed upon
the lake, land let Nature take her
counsel" he eloquently exclaimed.
Some people are like that. We OBJ
serve a contemporary newspaper adj
vises the newly formed Winnemucca
Civic Club that one of the very first
things it should do is to secure the
purchase Of the property between the
new Humboldt county court house
and Fourth street, in order that the
view of the structure of which all the
county is to be proud shall not be
INSTRUCTED. We would move to amend
by advising the club to have the prop
erty donated to the city.
If the amendment is not considered
desirable, The Silver State suggests
that the m of owners of the afore-
said property. together with prices
considered reasonable. be furnished
for publication. Then the ladies,
doubtless, will be found quite compe-
tent to think for themselves.

HOT SODA WATER
FOR WINTER

We are becoming jealous of Fallon.
We can't deny it. What with all the
oil. newspaper prosperity, alfalfa,
and numerous sales of farming lands,
and damn-no, dam-and new brick
block. and school house, and every
thing, she's assuming too much. She
even went Republican. And now
appears a man right hear town who
has struck a hot soda water we'll
at his back door. He wasn't boring
for oil. either. Just luck! Think of
hot soda water for nothing, with a
hard winter just coming on! And his
stock likes it, too. and he can warm
his hands doing the chores in the
morning. And probably his wife will
find a way to make biscuits with the
stuff without using any yeast powder.
It's better to be born lucky than rich!

X
YOUR CHURCH

We read in an exchange that for
several years a Methodist church at
Niles, Michigan, had been suffering
from a disease common among other
churches. here, there, and every
where-a lack of attendance. And
since this church was supported by
voluntary offerings and weekly
pledges, this irregular and decreas-
ing attendance doomed as a serious
problem and threatened the very life
of the institution.
Wherever the congregation turned
there was a lack of money to carry
on it's work. A little extra used in
charity or repairing the building
meant skimping somewhere else. The
salary of the pastor was miserably
small, yet it was almost impossible
to raise it.
Then came an experiment. A man
in the congregation said he would
launch an advertising campaign. The
newspaper of the town co-operated
heartily and the people of the COM
munity soon began reading display
ads which told of the welcome await
ing everyone at the Methodist church,
of the good cheer offered those who
dropped in to hear a sermon or to
visit the Sunday school. And today
ii is the Tive" church of the COM
munity; the attendance is the larg-
est in all that section; the people
gather there as in neighborly mass
meeting. And citizens of Niles admit
that newspaper advertising made the
church what it is.
If the proposition was good for the
Niles church, why wouldn't it be a
fine remedy for any other church that
is afflicted with a poor attendance
and hat is having a hard time max
ing end meet from a financial stand
point? There Is at least this much
to be said in favor OF the plant
isn't going to hurt a church any to
try it!

NEW RULE PERMITS
HOME C|DERMAK|NG

BALTIMORE, June 5.-Collector Of
Internal Revenue Joshua w. Miles
has received An important ruling
from Federal Prohibition Commis-
sioner John f. Kramer, which Is in
terpreted by local internal revenue
officials as allowing the home manu-
facture Of Misunderstanding" cider
and fruit juices that may not "neces-
sarily" be Tess than one-haf of
per cent of alcohol"
The ruling has not been received
by State Prohibition Director Richard
S. Dodson. 1t was shown to him,
however, and he admitted that 1t ap-
peared to be a concession.
The fact that the ruling was sent
to internal revenue officials indicates
that 1t is essentially measure for
the control Of the manufacture and
making of beverages, over which the
department has jurisdiction.
The preamble to the vital part of
the ruling points out that Section 20
of Title III OF the national prohibition
act provides:
That the penalties for manufactur-
ing liquors without permit shall not
apply to n person for manufacturing
Misunderstanding cider and fruit juice
exclusively for use in his home, but
such juices shall not be sold or deliv-
cred except to persons having permits
to manufacture vinegar
Officials Of the internal revenue
department were not surprised to
hear of the ruling. One of them
frankly expressed the opinion that
It was a move to ward off the adopt
ton of a wet plank by either of the
national conventions. This official.
whose name is withheld, said:
TT Is s'mpIy sop for the farmers.
The prohibition department secs, the
possibility OF satisfying a great many
people with a concession that they
have dug out of a loophole in the
law.
