weather. Last Thursday we had a
splendid rain, and some more on Fri
day night and Saturday morning.
Jim johnson of Silverton, Ore, and
Brother George, came down from near
Kenmare, where they are operating a
threshing outfit last Friday, spending
the night and part Of Saturday at the
Hebig home, and attending to some
business matters in this section. In
speaking of Oregon fruit, Jim relat-
ed to us how he has been picking
fruit, cherries, for instance, which he
picked on shares, $3.50, buying the
other half at the rate of six (6) cents
pound, while here they have been
selling for as much as from 40 to go
cents pound. Who gets the differ
ence? And we see by some Of the
papers that fruit in Michigan is rot
ting for want of a market or trans
portation,. and here the price is so
high that it can't be reached even
with balloon.
We understand that 81 Enger has
sold his interest in the threshing out
fit to Melvin Peterson, who will con-
tinue the work.

Ripe Strawberries in Minot Gardens

Ripe Strawberries in Minot Gardens
The frost has held off remarkably
we'll, but one can expect killing
frost to visit us at any time. The
flowers in Riverside park are as beau
tiful as at any time during the sum-
mer. Plums are still ripening in the
coulees and ripe tomatoes are still be-
ing taken off the vines. Ripe straw
berries are to be found in the Minot
gardens. Perhaps we are going to
have one of those old fashioned open
winters. Nobody would complain,
except perhaps the coal man.

Bob Evans Shot Himself in Knee

\ Bob Evans Of brady, sustained a
painful injury while hunting Friday.
He grabbed his trusty shot gun and
was slipping up on some ducks in a
slough, when the gun went off. The
barrel was only six inches from a
rock and some of the shot was de-
flected, imbedding itself in his leg
above the knee. He was quite lame
for several days, and being a long
distance from doctor, did not bother
to consult one. He extracted the shot
Monday by aid of a jack knife and is
now recovering.

HOME
STORE

Many emergencies arise in daily
life when it becomes necessary to
have certain articles at once. If some
one falls ill, medicines and sick-room
supplies must be bought in a hurry.
If children spoil their clothes, you
want something at once to fit them
out for school. If you break a hoe
while working in the garden, you
don't want to wait until you can go
to some other town to buy one
In a town where the people support
the home stores, all emergencies can
be met promptly, and the right article
supplied at once at a reasonable cost.
One could afford to pay more, just
for the convenience of having this
supply at hand where it can be Sc
sured in a hurry. Under the efficient
system of supplying retail stores, the
payment of such a higher price is not
necessary. But at least the people
of Winnemucca can Loyalty support
the stores that perform this great
service.

DEFECT OF
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

One of the most serious defects of
any scheme Of government ownership,
whether of public utilities or of en-
terprises more in the nature of pri-
vate undertakings, is that government
ownership discourages individual ini-
tiative. Advancement in government
service goes too often in accordance
with personal favoritism or partisan
service. Too often men high in gov
eminent authority seek not the assist
ance of men of originality and abil-
ity, but men of subservient tendencies
whose minds are willing to go along
with those of their s~uperiors. Such
a characteristic in government mana
cement of either public or semi-pub-
pointed out by Secretary of the In
terror Franklin X. Lane, upon the
occasion of his retirement from the
cabinet. Under government owner
ship, for example, it is not at all
likely that such a man as the late Z.
w. McKenna would have risen from
the position of telegraph messenger
to that of manager Of operation and
construction of such an important
railroad as the Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul. In his younger days
McKenna has no political influence,
nor the advantage of wealth. He was
a humble worker, who performed
efficiently the work assigned to his
care, and, having demonstrated a high
order of ability. he rose from step to
step in the railroad world acquiring
new responsibilities and larger oppor-
tunities for service in the develop
ment of what is the best national
transportation system in any country
in the world. Mr.. McKenna was one
of many young men of ability and in
dustry who won their advancement
by demonstrating efficiency. Under
government ownership they would un-
~doubtedly have retired long ago from
a service in which merit met little
appreciation, and where men of
judgment and action would be set
aside by their superiors to make a
place for men whose minds would
go along with theirs"
Mr.. McKenna was a Republican and
n of that large army of Republicans
who have no ambition for political
preferment, but whose constructive
minds have aided in shaping Republi-
a politics along constructive lines
and won the confidence of the great
masses of the constructive people of
the United States.
