.~ CROPS WITHOUT CARS
Big crops in the West will save the
nation from any serious monetary
trouble this. year, say the optimists
whs deal out the figures.
But the interstate commerce COM
mission is still worried on the car
shortage, and the failure of the rail-
road employees who have been on a
long vacation" to come back to the
switch engines. These outlaw rail-
road men, who failed to get satisfac-
tion from the recent wage award, are
conducting publicity campaign in
the East, claiming that they now
have 100000 railroad employees in
their organization.
One very definite result of the lack
of full efficiency of railroad operation
this fall will be the delay of ship
ments Of all classes of freight that
can be delayed, or shipment Of which
can be "rationed" Either the farm
products must be delayed in reaching
market-a condition that the federal
reserve board will protest as being a
menace to the banlks--or projects for
building, construction, road improve
ments and many other developments
in private industry and public i'm
provements will have to wait.
Railroad traffic will not catch up
with the freight that is offered before
midsummer Of next year, at the
earliest.

EUREKA'S CELEBRATION

The public generally is invited to
come to Eureka and participate in
our two days celebration and help
us make our National holiday of 1920
one that will go down in Eureka's
history as second to none in the up
lifting of our voices in shouting our
praises of liberty and freedom. Let
our National Anthem and America
ring out and re-echo from hillside
and mountain as never before. This
July 4th is being heralded as a red
letter day of demonstration by the
American people, who are requested
to publicly display every available
thing in red, white and blue that
symbolizes liberty. Let us here in
Eureka resurrect our flags, bunting,
and other decorative material and
adorn and brighten up our little
mountain town until the American
eagle will seemingly cry out with joy.

Merchants National Bank in Eureka

the Farmers and Merchants National
Bank, combining as it does, the lead
ers of the strongest financial resour-
ces of the State, with local represen-
tatives of substantial business stand
ing, on its board of directors. Its
success is assured, and in achieving
the purposes for which 1t was estab-
ished, a greater measure of prosper
ity will also come to Eureka.

FoURHT OF JULY CUSTOMS
Elko Independent Gives Rules of De-
pertinent for Such Occasions
that Are Applicable to All
Communities

II you are of the gentler sex, keep
your apple blossom hat on allthrough
picture show. Particularly eff
cient IL you sit in front of a short
person.
IL you are a mother with three per-
ambulating kids and one in a peram-
bulator, stand in the middle OF busy
sidewalk and spread the family on all
sides Of you so busy pedestrians will
have to walk out into the street to
avoid head-on collision.
II you are a shimmy artist stick
your arm into space as far as possible.
cast your eye to the ceiling with a
dying duck expression, tuck your
partners head into your shirt bosom
and tear hell-bent-for-elect up and
down the dance floor. utterly disre-
garding the fact that there are peo-
pie who would like to dance quietly
and undisturbed and with due safety
to their anatomy and a we'll pre-
served corn patch.
If you love to dance, eat onions.
then chew gum, eat breathlets and
take a shot of jackass brandy before
you whisper into her shell-like ear
how divinely she dances.
Wear a dress suit and tan shoes
with four-in-hand tie to match. A
business collar also will aid materi-
ally in this instance.
II you are just turning eighteen
and feel a helluvl bump of wisdom
growing under the third knot in your
rapidly enlsrging Uranium, stand on
the street cornerssand howl at older
and wiser people than you are, for
there are really such people in the
world, even though they are ap-
preaching senile decay.
If somebody don't kill you to cure
you, worry yourself into sweat and
go sit in a draught. You're hope
less.
