HOW THE BANKER
HELPS

How can the banker help the farm
err? Haven't you often wondered
about that, and yet never taken the
time to investigate thoroughly or ask
someone who really knows?
In the first place, the banks help to
finance stock breeding; they help to
maintain country farm bureaus and,
almost always, they are liberal con-
tributors to the support of the county
farm agents. And it is the agencies
here mentioned which do so much to
help the farmer increase his produc-
ton. Therein the farmer is helped,
and when he increases production the
business man of Winnemucca feels
the effect, as everyone knows.
Then. too. the bankers, as a rule.
are weil-read men. They know what
the community needs to bring it's
finances up to a higher point. Whether
it is drainage, better roads, more la
the banker realizes the need of his
particular community, and he helps
to get it. He c~onsults the farmers,
and he learns their views regarding
production. He studies the money
markets, and he is in. position to give
patrons of the bank some sound adj
vice along that line, and to help out
when there is a tightening up along
the line and cash must be had to tide
over between crops. He gives wise
counsel, because he knows that what
ever helps the farmer will help the
community at large, and upon the
community at large depends the sue
cess or failure Of the institution in
which he is interested and in which
he has his money invested.

NEVADA CAMEL YARN
IN AUTHENTIC FORM

Stories of a herd of camels which
IA believed to have roamed the south
erp Nevada desert q couple of gen.
erations ago are not at all uncommon
IN the state ever today. Ask any one
of the oldest citizens" anywher| On
the desert, and he will have some
thing to say about the legends. In
common with other of the older Ne
vada newspapers, The Silver State
has printed many Of these yarns in
days gone by. Now comes a history
of the herd of camels imported into
he United States by the government.
and it is quite as interesting. If not
as thrilling. as the ancient tales OF
mystery. Here is an epitome:
The skeleton of a camel when
stands in a case in the National Mu-
scum at Washington constitutes the
sole relic of two shiploads of camels
brought from the Far East In the
"ffties," while Jefferson Davis was
secretary of war, in an effort to solve
the problem of transporting military
supplies between the Mississippi river
and the various posts scattered across
the Western deserts.
Hostility of native mule drivers to
the ships of the desert" and the be-
ginning of the Civil war are assigned
by government authorities as the rea-
sons for the failure of the efforts to
utilize camels as burden carriers over
the Western plains.
: DR.. Charles C. Carroll of the de-
partment of agriculture has written
an official history of the importation
of camels. He says the idea of trans
planting the beasts to America origi-
mated with the Spanish after the con-
quest of South America, and toward
the end of the sixteenth century they
were introduced into Peru. The cam
els were not looked upon with favor
by the ruling officials, however. and
they dwindled away. Some camels
also were transplanted to Virginia
from Guinea in 1907, but there is no
authentic record of the enterprise. ex-
cept that it failed.
Transportation troubles during the
stubborn Indian war in Florida caused
Major George III. Crosman to advocate
the use of the desert beasts for mill
tary purposes, but nothing came of
the plan.
Some years later Major Henry G..
Wayne suggested to the war depart
ment and to members of Congress a
Ian for government Importation. His
ideas were Endorsed by Jefferson
Davis, then chairman of the Senate
military committee, and after Mr..
Davis became secretary Of war under
President Pierce he pressed the prof.
ect. Finally, in December, 1854. Con-
gress approved an amendment by Sen
ator Shiels of Illinois to the annual
army appropriation bill providing for
100000 ito be expended under the
direction of the war department in
the purchase and importation of cam
els and dromedaries to be employed
for military purposes"
Secretary Davis at once sent Major
Wayne to the Levant to round up the
camels. the secretary of the navy

PIE HAS RECEIVED
IT'S @. X.

At last someone has stood right up
in meeting and said a good word for
pie. Usually the great national pastry
is condemned. We find about nine
out of every ten Winnemucca men
declaring pie doesn't agree with them
but they go right on eating it. They
SILVER when they see a fellow calling
for his fifth or sixth slice, where they
can't eat more than two or three with
relish. And maybe the hearty pie
eater says all the time that he knows
it is the worst thing he can eat"
But no one quits putting pie where
it will do the most good on that ac-
count.
And so it is good to learn that no
less an authority than the American
Medical Association comes to the
front with an article assuring the
public, both within and without the
pie belt" that pie, when properly
made, is not only toothsome and
wholesome. but a digestible product.
Pie has been up against a lot of criti-
cism in the years gone by. 1t has
had tt face a whole lot Of "indiges-
tible" indictments, and folks with
weak stomachs or finicky digestions
have said some pretty hard things
about ii.
But now even mince pie is given a
clean bill by the medical journals
pie expert. 1t has been proven by tests
that in the race through the alimen-
tary canal pudding wins. with pie
second, and cake third. So. with the
fresh pie season at its height, the
medical journal has furnished us with
a mighty good alibi for asking for an
extra slice.

ton will not occur again for four
years, there will be many young men
and women in the meantime coming
to the age of majority, when custom
will impel them to, align themselves
with one party or the other.
All these young people who are be-
levers in government by law and sup
port of the spirit of the Constitution
should align themselves with the Re-
publican party. Those who believe
in ignoring the Constitution or open
ly violating it's provisions in accord
ance with their attitude upon tenn
porary issues which arise from time to
time, should align themselves with
the Democratic party.
These considerations should be
kept in mind as local political con-
tests are held and county or state
officers are elected. While national
issues need not always control a
county or state election, yet these
local contests have a bearing upon
the national campaign.
Young people who align themselves
with a political party in local and
state contests are likely to remain
adherents of the anne party when the
next national campaign takes place.
The force of their influence in the ma
tional contest is largely felt by the
course they pursue in local contests.
1t is vitality important, therefore, that
the difference in predominant char
acteristics be kept in mind when peo-
pie are choosing for the first time
their party Affiliations.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1920-11-13
DIFFERENCE IN
PARTIES

The Republican party began the
recent campaign by adopting a plat
form the opening sentence of which
reafirmed unyielding devotion to the
Constitution. 1t pledged resistance
to all attempts to overthrow the foun-
dations of the government or to weak
en- the force of its controlling prin-
ciples and ideals. Search the Demo-
cratic platform from beginning to. end
and you find nowhere even an infer
entail expression of purpose to up
the Constitution; the Democratic
traditions. The Republican, party
began its platform with a tribute to
tn constitution; the Democratic
platform began with a tribute to an
individual, Woodrow Wilson.
Thus was the issue drawn. the Re-
publican party standing for govern
ment by law, the Democratic party
standing for government by men.
Naturally the two parties placed
first in the platforms the subjects
deemed of most vital Importance. The
characteristics of the two parties may
be ascertalned most defnlteiy by a
study of their platforms, and no diff
ference is more marked than that dis
closed by comparison of the opening
paragraphs. The principles of the
leading parties are formulated once
in every four years. when national
conventions are held.
Until these principles have been
thus changed they remain as the pub
licly expressed policies and promises
of the parties. For four years hence.
therefore. the Republican party will
be primarily the upholder of the Con-
stitution; the Democratic party will
continue as an advocate of evasion
of the Constitution and creation of a
super-government to which the United
States will be largely subordinate.
1t is well for these facts to be kept
in mind. for. although a national cleo

IS II COUNTRY
REALLY ~LONELY-l

1t is a fact. all right enough, that
many people who come to Winnie
mucca from more urban localities
complain of loneliness. Particularly
is this true If they are bent on home-
stealing, or if their business takes
them to some distant mining location.
But IL is true in the town. 1t is more
often the Ease with city-bred women
than with men Perhaps someone has
told them they were going right into
the middle of the Great American Des-
ert," and they have been more or less
frightened by the righteousness of it
all. At best, the change is radical
when one first comes.
The city woman, it may be, often
uses the word lonely" in an unthink-
ing way. Perhaps strange" would
better express her real feelings, but
she does not dwell long on selection
of terms. The quiet seems to Cypress
her. She has not learned its beauties
and advantages. She generally notices
that she sleeps soundly. Morning
comes quickly. Her appetite is good.

"creeps" after dark because of the
absolute silence. "Torchy' once said,
in telling of a trip to Jersey" that
his ears ached from trying to hear
something.
But mere noise does not create
companionship. City life with it's
populous streets, its noisy machinery
and clatter of trains and cars, is a
constant suggestion of the crowd.
There are plenty of people near you
physically. but their souls are very
remote. They care nothing for you.
If you are sick they will never think
to inquire. least Of all offer you any
service.
In the country the neighbors may
be distant in measurements of blocks
or miles, but in case of sickness or
trouble you will find them far nearer
than the stranger inhabitants of the
ext city block. 1t is in the country
that people do the kind acts and help
each other owe the hard places.
The telephone gives country people
far more social life than exists in the
crowded city street. Country folk
jump into their automobiles and at
tend the neighborhood functions
sometimes for miles around. Some
times the men folks go to badger
fights.
Even in ranching and mining dis
tricts people have their societies and
clubs, until it is hard to find an empty
evening. They form firm friendships
and enter intimately into each others
lives, and these friendships reach out
for many miles around. 1t would be
difficult, indeed, to find a more soci-
able place than the McDermit or De-
MO country, yet the people there are
living a hundred miles from a rail-
road and several hundred miles from
a street car.
The day has passed when the coun-
try may properly be called lonely"
People who want friendship will find
it in the country, and will meet the
brightest and most original and inter-
esting people to be found in modern
life. Modern science has eliminated
distances that one separate spaces
of the country. A rural n~eighborhood
of today is bound together in a social
intimacy that exists nowhere else
