FIVE DOLLAR WHEAT
IS IN SIGHT

Louis Hill, son Of the famous
empire builder, who is himself a
genius. in his own right, predicts
five dollar wheat if the present
trend toward the urban is main
tanned for long. This runs very
strong against the rural commune
ty at this time, it must be admit
ted, but the ebb and flow Of things
will bring folks back to the farm
and sanity. 1t is on the farm that
things need by men are produced
and of all the occupations under
the sun farming conducted prop
erly is the most honorable.
1t is true that farming can hard
ly be classified as a gainful occu-
patton at this juncture' in the
worlds history and there are those
who will fail to see, as they evil
dence a strange form of perversion
according to the mind of the city
dweller, how five dollar wheat
could bring disaster to the race.
1t will be argued that if the PEG.
pie of the United States can pass
through a silk stocking period
when flimsy silk gauze hose are
eagerly sought by the women Of
the country at six bucks the pair
heads of households who have doled
out the plunks for the superficial
purpose sieed not feel alarmed ov-
err the prospect of stocking Up the
flour bin with flour made from five
dollar wheat.

Reviewing the list of Is needful
things produced in the United
States which have dropped to the
bottom of the scale in selling price
one finds that nearly all Of the
things hardest hit are produced in
Nevada. Nevada's prime industries
are admittedly mining and stock
raising and the subordinate effort
directed at farming must move
very largely In sympathy with
these. 1t would be folly indeed
to argue that the metals industry
can remain off the board for long
and it would be equally foolish to
assert that the efforts which pro-
due wool, meats and hides, can be
neglected indefinitely by a consum-
ing population which even now
stands in imminent need of these
things.

THIS is THE COME
BACK ISSUE

With this issue The Silver State
reappears in its old-time form
When the fire which partially des-
troyed this newspapers plant, oc.
Cured on last September 18th, q
degree of chaos came about which
disheartened and gave pause, yet
the management of this newspaper
carried on" speaking after the
fashion of our English cousins
with job press editions, until new
equipment could be purchased and
installed.
During this period the friends of
The Silver State have evidenced
the highest degree of loyalty and
tolerance. What would otherwise
have been dark spot in the career
of The Silver State has in truth
been one of well wishing and good
cheer and incentive has been lend
ed to the undertaking which results
in the continuation of one of Ne
vada's oldest newspaper publica-
tions.
The name, The Silver State,
stands for much in Humboldt coun-
ty; it means something wherever
men read in the state of Nevada.
Hallowed and tender Renaissance
is woven about the paper, which has
appeared regularly since 1869,
when Nevada's statehood was young
and epochal. Thus this papers cos
morama shows activities covering
more than half century of time,
and beside this the two-month inter-
ruption of regular issue is indeed
a brief period.
The publisher has ordered and in
stalled much new material to- serve
through future workdays in The
Silver State office. The most impor-
tant is a model Ia linotype, which
is an appurtenant Of the highest
value in the composing room.
Equipment is carried on this super
model Of type-casting machinery
which creates a degree Of versa
tility that makes it possible for this
paper to handle wider range Of
printing than ever before.
No attempt has been made to
capitalize the misfortune which
wrought havoc and interferred with
newspaper activities. Transversely,
the paper is back to normally on
the strict premise of merit and use
fulness. The papers publisher seeks
to create interest anew in laudable
and to work for the
fulfillment of projects which are vi
tally necessary to the field in which
he works.
With this brief foreword The Sill
yer State resumes its place in news
paper circles, with the promise Of
even greater things as time goes on.

The Chinese tong is distinctly an
American institution and thrives
only in America just as the tong
wars occur here only. Lax en-
forcement Of laws in this coun-
try has operated to make the tong
war possible in the United States.
Should similar disturbance
against the peace and dignity of
Chinese Jurisprudence occur in the
country Of which the malefactors
are native the heads of the higher
ups of the tongs would fall into
the basket along with those Of the
actual gunner. For this reason
sanguinary tong combat is unpop-
ular and impossible in China.

The manager of the railroad eat.
ing house at Inlay needed dish
washer recently to round out his
working force and accosted Is
transients as they passed through
his town, offering them $68 per
month and all found for the work
in prospect. He received the un-
varying reply that other jobs were
in view in more pleasant environ
ments and the travellers emphasized
the already apparent fact that
they didn't want to work "nohow."
A lot of the unemployment of the
period can be traced to an inner
ent aversion to hard labor rather
than to a scarcity of jobs.

But when the box was opened 1t con-

wine was for sacrnmental purposes and
that the arrest was interfering with the
religious liberty Of the two Servians.
He explained that the wine was pres

said that Just because Storianvich had
told the policeman that the the box con-
tained soap, and that 1t was found to
contain wine, was no reason that the
men were guilty of operating a blind
tiger, for "if your honor please. the soap

Old, Old B0gey
of Roller TOWeI
VIII Not D0Wn

Not so many sessions ago the
statesmen who comprise tho Indiana
Legislature fought for days over the
question OF whether the roller towel
should continue to exist. The fight
might be compared to the classic de-
bates over the licensing of house cats
and the length of bed sheets.
Some of the best minds of the Leg
islnturc labOred greatly over a siml-
lar provision when 1t came up before.
The old-fashiOned element fought
hard for the retention of the Old-fash-
iOned towel, without which. they con-
tended, no washrOOm would be COM
plete. The more progressive members
talked long and loudly of germs and
infections and declared only individ-
ual towels should be permitted,
despite laundry bills or the high cost
of paper, and the bill hbOlishing the
towel was finally defeated.
Now, Senator Miles j. Eurnas is
making an attempt to start tho argu-
ment all over again. He has intro
duced in the Senate n bill providing
for the inspection and licensing of
hotels and eating houses. 1t IS a
long affair, covering many pages.
Hidden along about the middle is
provision that no so-Called roller or
endless towel shall he permitted to
exist in any hotel.
