Is THE FARMER
LETTING RIGHT

Many people, who judge by the
amount they pay for vegetables and
garden truck. imagine the farmer is
last waxing rich. And yet we see in
a report from the department of agri-
culture that the average return on
farm investments in the past five
years has only increased from four to
seven per cent, and that few farmers
made more than $500 a year above the
things the farm furnished toward the
family living.
We sit here in Winnemucca, re-
fleet upon the high prices the farmer
gets for his products, and never stop
to consider the high price he has to
pay for whatever he buys. We also
forget that labor is scarce and that
he has to pay two and three times as
much for help now as he did five years
ago. And we don't seem to consider
that he has to buy clothing and shoes
for himself and family, and that he
pays the increased price for these the
same as the balance of US pay.
What a man makes out of farming
is doubtless as variable as what a
merchant or manufacturer makes out
Of his business. 1t all depends on
the "a Farming, as we'll as any

FARM
STATIONS

In conversation with a well-read
Ninnemucca man a few days ago he
made the statement that before very
long every farmer may make his own
luid for lighting, heating. running
farm machinery and other purposes.
He has reference to a substitute
for gasoline, derived from straw and
other farm waste, by distillation. He
called attention to the fact that the
department. of agriculture is now MAX
ing experiments along this line and
has announced that the APPARATUS
complete in itself and known as a
.ar.l unit will consist Of a retort,
"scrubber" and a condenser. 1t will
cost about $3.50 and will be so con
structed that anybody "a run it and
keep 1t in order. All that need be sup
piled Is heat and straw Tor other vege-
table waste) and the machine will do
the rest.
So far the experiments have been
restricted to straw, but they will pres
emily be extended to include corn
stalks and leaves. cotton stalks and
sugar cane refuse. The process of dis
tillation leaves a gas which In the
condenser is converted into a liquid.
Beyond the first cost Of the outfit the
iarmer will be at no expense for his
fluid fuel. inasmuch as the waste Of
farm will furnish it. He will $
it to light and heat his dwelling, to
keep the cook stove going, to operate
the washing and sewing machines, to
drive the grindstone, feed the cutter
in the barn and supply power for his
car and tractor.

ARMISTICE
DAY

We are approaching the newest an
niversary on our calendar. and one
we sincerely wish every citizen OF
winnemucca would join in celebrat-
ing. We refer to "Armistice Day"
November IL, and by celebrating we
mean giving to 1t the sacred thought
and consideration that generally
marks our day Of Thanksgiving.
In fact, it would be only fitting and
proper II Americans would move their
date for observing Thanksgiving day
up to November IL. For as we look
back q brief two years to the great
event which marked that day and
brought to a close the greatest war
humanity has rel known. we see
manifold reasons for Thanksgiving.
We review the part played by our
" glorious nation, now looked up
on as the saviour Of civilization, and
we are proud. We see vast armies
start from the battlefields to their
homes with a song upon their lips,
and we see millions of outstretched
aEIuS VI Coiy haOeASAo uhe
hungry children to greet them. We
see the swords beaten back into plow-
shares. and we see torn nations sing
ing at their work Of wiping away the
scars Of war. Truly 1t is a time SO
inspiring as to make it as holy as a
Sabbath; 1t is the real time for deep
and sincere thanksgiving.
Two brief years have passed since
the rumble Of cannon died away and
the groans of many wounded were
stilled. Through 1t America has
passed strong and secure among the
nations of the earth, devoting herself
to reconstruction and holding out a
helping hand to other nations strug-
Cling to regain their feet. Let US once
more reflect upon the real meaning
of that armistice: let US, on this No
vember IL, offer up a silent prayer
that 1t may never be necessary to sign
another.

TOO MUCH
~THANK YOU"

We honestly believe that in the mat
ter Of doing things for a mere thank
you" the newspapers of this country
hold the record.
We say it with no desire to dis
criminate, for we believe Winnie
mucca people are no different from
those to be found elsewhere, but we
feel that on reflection they will agree
1t is true, that for the number of ia
vors rendered no other institution is
as poorly paid as the newspaper. The
church has a bazaar, the school has
a concert, a club brings a paid speak
er or musician to town and does SO
to make money, and yet In almost
every instance the newspaper is called
on to announce the date, boost the at
traction, get out the crowd-and then
be satisfied with 4 free ticket And
often, very often, the promoters over
look even the free ticket.
1t is hard for some people to un-
derstand that about all a newspaper
has to sell is its space, or at least
that part Of its space not devoted to
actual news happenings. If 1t gives
away its space, where is it to get
money for white paper, more ink.
more type-for type wears out-and
for rent and heat and light and the
scores Of other things that it is forced
to pay out good money for? They
wouldn't go to the merchant and say
We're going to hold an affair to
make some money: give us some OF
your goods to sell that night" Yet
they say to the editor: We're going
to hold an affair, give us your adver-
Using space SO we can get a crowd
that will spend its money" And yet
there's no difference.
The newspapers are here to boost
every worthy institution-and this one
expects to keep doing 1t. But we'd gel
down on our knees and thank the good
Lord right now il we could make
everyone see that 1t takes money tc
run a newspaper just the same as il
does anything else.

does not require as great numbers to
grow food to sustain the race as many
suppose, although it probably re-
quires more than are now working
upon the land. If there should ever
come a real and eve food shortage,
driving people in large numbers to
the farms and opening up new farm
ing land, 1t would be found that fab
ulous amounts could be raised in a
season. And f%ive-dollar wheat might,
for that reason, serve as a blessing in
disguise.

stranger whom he is alleged to have
hired to stage a fake holdup so he
could kill his wife. Carl Wanderer, ex-
army lieutenant went on trial for his
life here yesterday.
The Wanderer case was given ma
tionwide publicity because of the mys-
terry attached to it. Wanderer Just

fathers butcher shop. One night. ac-
cording to the first story he told po-
lice, he returned home with his wife

throw up their hands.
Wanderer stated it was dark in the
vestibule. Instead of complying with
the strangers demand, Wanderer
fired. When the police arrived they
found the young wife and the alleged
holdup man dead.
Wanderer for a time convinced the
police that he was telling the truth

the pistol used by the ragged stran-
ger" 1t was found that the revolver
had originally been sold to Wanderer.
Confession is Alleged.
After gruelling cross examination,

cause, according to the alleged con-
fession, he was tired of civilian life
