AMERICA FOR AMERICANS
HARDING AND COOLIDGE
NO PENNY
PAPERS

Within the past few weeks dozens
of the biggest newspapers in this
country, papers which once sold al
a penny. but which advanced their
selling price to two cents during the
war, have added still another penny,
and will in the future retail at three
cents each to the reader. OF course,
they have advanced yearly subscrip-
tons in proportion, making an ad-
vance of from one to three dollars a
year more. They have good cause
to do so, for paper manufacturers
state that still another increase in
the price of white paper is due this
fall, and freight rates are to be raised
about twenty-five per cent. 81 the
day of the penny paper is over, and
few indeed are the weeklies that
still go forth at two dollars per year.
Paper upon which this issue is
printed has advanced 800 per cent
in two years. 1t has increased 100
per cent of that since last January.
In other words, paper that sold two
years ago for five cents a pound and
six months ago for ten cents a pound
is now selling at fifteen cents a pound
and another increase is coming.
Citizens of Winnemucca and vicin-
ity must know by this time that The
Silver State has been hit by increased
cost of raw materials just as hard as
anything else. And if they want to
show their appreciation of an insti-
tuition that is laboring to keep down
prices to a safe level while facing
determination itself from that very
thing, they will be more than prompt
in paying their bills. For only
through an outlay of cash can the
paper be secured, ever at the pres
ent high figure. Right now would
be a. good time to insure against that
increase of September 1st, by paying
a year in advance for your paper. |
For as ure as fate the price of sub
scriptions must go up as long as
the price of white paper continues
to climb. You can save a dollar now
by paying your subscription on
ahead. Isn't it a sensible thing to
do?

OUR BREAD
AND BUTTER

Nevada supplies a world product
silver, copper and other metals, ant
therefore, the state is more or less
dependent on world conditions for its
prosperity. Since the war it has
: Gathered a difficult period of high
operating costs In mines and short
orders and unsettled price conditions
for metals.
Taxation laws have tended to dis
courage the industry and labor con-
ditions have hampered successful
mine operations.
Nevada is one of the largest min
ing states in the union and the sue
cess of the mining industry has a di-
rect bearing on the prosperity of vir-
tually every citizen in the state.
While we may not be able to change
the world conditions, we can stand
for a conservative and constructive
program, which will encourage pro-
duction and development in our own
country, thus helping to that extent
to stabilize conditions here where we
earn our bread and butter.
Sound labor conditions, uniform
and equal taxation laws and an abb
sence of radical and freak legisla-
ton will help build up all our in
dustries. Laboring man and capitalist
alike are equally interested in such
a program.

RAGRAPH
"A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW
AND THEN IS RELISHED BIZ
THE BEST OF MEN"

We've often noticed that the mad
der some Winnemucca men get the
less good it does them.
TIT
A sucker is born every minute. and
the profiteer celebrates the event by
raising the price again.
TIT
The Winnemucca girl who is the
most pensive before marriage is usu-
ally the most expensive afterward.
TIT
After all, there's n platform Mr..
Bryan has no trouble in standing on,
and that's the Chautauqua platform.
TIT
Maybe one-half of the world would
know what the other half is doing if
there were more party-line tele-
phones.
President Wilson uses a typewriter;
Governor Cox gets out his work with
a lead pencil, but Mr.. Debs sticks to
the pen"
Just two kinds of letters cause
married men trouble-the ones they
forget to mail and the ones they for
get to burn.
Why is it most of us insist that the
argument WI use is logical and
sound" when the other fellow dis
agrees with us?
TIT
Our idea of good neighbors con-
sists of families who are not rich
pretend to be.
Any Winnemucca man a tell you
that the honeymoon is over as soon
as they begin to trim their corns in
each others presence.
TT
When you see a crowd on the street
these days it is hard to tell whether
it's an accident or meo has Of
fered a house for rent.
TIT
A gardner is a man who raises a
few things; a farmer a man who
raises many things and a profiteer
one who raises everything.
TIT
Here's a hint to the Winnemucca
woman who would make her husband
more fond of her-take a trip out of
town for a few weeks.
AS a Winnemucca woman said yes
terday, there are two kinds of visi-
tors-those who are welcome and
those who bring a trunk?
ttf
The Winnemucca man who works
only when the boss is watching him
is the same fellow who would tap the
cash drawer if the boss was not
watching.

Is Birminghams new postoffice and Nineteenth street large enough for the present needs of the government in this city?
 This is the question that many citizens are asking following the announcement several days ago that it will probably officials to remain in the present build ing at Second avenue and Eighteenth street
 Work on the new building is progress ing, and it is expected that it will be ready for occupancy early in 1921. Many citizens are greatly disappointed, they say, in the size of the new building The original plan called for a three- story building. but after war was de- clared and prices jumped work on the building was stopped for several months, as the appropriation for the building was not sufficient for the erection of d building of the first proposed size. The government then decided to resume work on the structure and make it two stories high instead of three.
 This plan. however, did not meet with the approval of the people, for they were of the opinion that, according to the size of the city and the amount of business handled here, Birmingham hould have three-story building. as was called for in the original plan
 An effort was made to have Congress make an additional appropriation for this work, an official says, but to no avail The various civic organizations who were working in the interest of the mat

Well. it just seemed as though that medicine had been made specially for me. Every dose of it seemed to do me good, and before II had finished the third bottle it had put me into such good shape that l was back a work on the farm and able to do a days work With any tody. I now eat as hearty as you please; my nerves are steady and strong and I feel more like a boy of 16 than man of 66.

MONDAY OPENS UP
 OFFICIAL SUMMER

Summer is officially here. says Weather Observer Horton.
 Unofficially. of course. it has been ir evidence for some time, if the tenn rcrature, the ice shortage and the great demand for electric fans can be taken sas indicators. Then. too. those who sought coolness in the bathing beeches rear Birmingham can attest to the fact that their shoulders are as sore and bistered as they ever get.
 But scientists have said that sum- mer really does not begin until June 21. Just to mark the opening of the pleasant season of the year. the initial day is the longest of the whole 365. On that day, the sun takes a peep at the top of the world, the north pole. and then begins its long journey back south again,
 The journey south, according to MT Horton. means that the prediction fair and warmer. or cloudy and warmer" or anything and warmer. vii begin to be the most popular. For hct weather is due and will be self evident for the next two months.

Speedy Relief From Habitual
 Constipation

The liver is the largest and most im- portant organ in the body, and when the liver refuses to act, it causes con- stipation, biliousness. headaches, indi- gestion, gas, sour stomach, bad breath iysentery, diarrhoea, pains in back and under shoulder blades and under ribs on right side These symptoms lead to colds, influenza or other serious troubles unless corrected im- mediately.
 on the kidneys, which overtaxes them and causes the blood to absorb and carry into the system the impurities that the liver and kidneys have failed to eliminate.
 When you treat the liver alone, you treat only third of your trouble, and that is why you have to take purgatves every few nights. Calomel other ordinary laxatives do not go far enough. If you would treat your kidneys and blood while treating the liver, you would put your entire system in order and frequent purgatives would then be unnecessary.
 Dr. w. L. Hitchcock many years ago recognized these important facts, and after much study and research, compounded what is now known as Dr. Hitchcock's Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders, three medicines combined in one. This was the Doctors fa- vorite prescription for many years, being used by his patients with marked success. It is a harmless vegetable remedy that will not make you sick. and you may eat any, thing you like while taking it.
 Get large tin box from your druggist or tee that it will give relief tone up the liver. stimulate the kidneys to healthy action and thereby purify the blood. If your dealer will not supply you it will be mailed direct by the Hitchcock Med cine Co.,, Atlanta, Ga upon receipt of price-Adv.

Strike Situation In
 Baltimore Improving
By Associated press

Baltimore. June 21.-The railroa strike situation in Baltimore was ap- preciably easier tonight. Nearly half of the strikers were reported back at work by the Pennsylvania and Balti more and Ohio railroads. The remain der of those out. however. maintained their defiant attitude.
 The Western Maryiand remained un- affected
 An uitimatum giving striking train men on the Pennsylvania until o'clock this afternoon to return to work O, lose their priority rating was issued. George C. Smith. general agent of the road. reported that 1S0 of the 250 strik- CTS came back as a result of the order.
 The situation on the Baltimore and Ohio was not so clear. Officials re- ported that men drifked back to work on both the ' a. m. and the p. m. shifts and more were expected to ap- pear for the midniEht shifts
