With eggs selling at around six
cents each in Winnemucca stores
the fact is emphasized that this COM
munity needs more poultry farms.
A very large proportion of the eggs
sold here are imported from distant
points. Petaluma labels are as nu-
merous in Winnemucca as in any
other city of the size in the coun-
try. Yet climate and general con-
ditions favor the poultry industry in
this part of Nevada.

week, for fifty-two weeks, it comes
as a Christmas gift-new and diff
ferent every tine. And each time
the wrapper is torn off the one re-
ceiving it thinks Of the one so
thoughtful as to send it-and this
more than pays for the gift. Think
over the things you could send as
Christmas gifts to those who live
elsewhere but who are acquainted
here. And If you can think of a
single thing that will give as much
real, downright enjoyment, and that
will last for whole year, as a
years subscription to the hometown
paper, come into The Silver State
office and tell US what it is.

Congress is considering another
census enumeration in the United
States in 1925 because many cities
are dissatisfied with the results of
the 1920 count. Most people viii
be satisfied with the enumeration re-
suits given out and would vastly
prefer to have the money that would
be given to the purpose diverted to
a more logical use. After all, it is
a matter of small concern to the
country at large whether Los An
geles grows faster than San Fran
cisco, its northern contemporary, or
whether the great Bay City outstrips
the City of Angels.

TEACHING
HISTORY

Looking over a history of this
country a few evenings ago, one of
the kind used to teach with in the
schools around Winnemueca, the
thought was impressed that almost
everything in it touched on war. 1t
started out with the discovery of
America, and quickly led into the
revolutionary war, then into the
civil war, the Mexican war, the
Spanish-American war-and the new
ones will have a few chapters added
to detail the world war. And we
wondered if 1t wouldn't be a good
idea for someone to write a new
history that the boys and girls of
the future might learn something
about the things we are proud of
that do not depend on war for their
interest. Discoveries, and great
celebrations, and events Of world
wide interest that are not connected
in any way with bloodshed, such as
the operation of the first railway,
the flying of the first airplane, and
the like, are numerous enough to
make a good sized book. Why
wouldn't they make a more readable
history than one which deals almost
entirely with destruction?

SOMETHING
USEFUL

Despite the fact that Christmas
is hundreds Of years old, the tend
ency to give foolish gifts still pre-
walls to a large extent. In recent
years there has been a leaning to-
ward useful gifts, and we are glad
to see it. For anyone appreciates
something that is serviceable more
than something that delights the eye
for a few hours and is then for
gotten. But in the matter Of gifts,
and especially for those who once
resided in this county but who now
live elsewhere, yet constantly think
Of the "old home," nothing can ap-
proach years subscription to the

IF the American industry is
killed, American produce will here
after have to pay the price Of a
German monopoly" asserted a
spokesman of the American potash
industry recently. And this applies
to other industries as well. The
cheap foreign product will be sold
in America only as low as necessary
to kill the American industry. When
American producers are driven out
of business, the price of the foreign
product is raised as high as can be
done safely. In the meantime the
workers in the American industry
are out of employment.

NEVADA'S ACE IS
TOLD BY ELK0 man

II you are interested in the age
of the region in which you live your
curiosity is now gratified, says the
Elko Independent. This state and
Elko county are exactly $4,000
years old. The passage of time was
tackled on eastern Nevada recently
by a nature reader a man who finds
stories in mountains and poems in
stones. Geologically speaking his
name is one to conjure with but for
the present it must remain secret,
but for the purposes of this story
names are not essential.
1t needs no nature reader to tell
US that hereabouts once sparkled
and murmured the waters of a great
inland sea. Recent articles appear
ing in state papers gave the name
of this sea as Lake Lahontan and
its western state extremity lay along
the border of Lake Pyramid, al
though its surface was 500 feet
higher in the olden days. Lake La
hontan was approximately 900 feet
deep and had an extreme expanse
of nearly 5000 square miles, which
means that it stretched from the
western shore of Pyramid lake to
nearly the eastern border of Elko
county.
Our geological friend who recent
ly visited this part of the state.
found here the markings Of an age
extending back $4,000 years. He
came expecting to remain but
short time, but remained for six
days and each day uncovered to his
knowing vision some new wonder
of the days when giant animal
growth Wed in development with
plant growth that in this day and
age overshadow our most magnifi-
cent buildings and put to shame our
greatest vegetables and plant life.
Fossil formations indicate to him
things that transpired in the dark
ages. Near the city of Elko, he
found. occurred a great upheaval.
The great sea found its easiest
means of outlet over the tops of
our mountains and the waters Of
Lake Lahontan rushed into the vast
Pacific. He discovered strange for
nations upon the earth's surface
and beneath it a short distance, for
nations yielding a peculiar odor
and indicating to his expert gaze
the presence of strange minerals.
Near this city, also, he discovered
deposit Of potassium salts, de-
post that is quite extensive and one
that began its steady transition in
the olden days, $4,000 years ago.
1t is all very interesting, this
thing Of knowing the age of the
country in which you live. But it
is of a certainty q vast deal more
interesting to speak with a mere hu-
man. who has by study and exper-
fence. learned the lesson Of the
mountain, the stream and the stone.
The classification of the earth's
surface into ages whereby men tell
exactly when land first came into
being and the exact age of the sur
face of the earth over which we
walk. is one of times most uncanny
accomplishments, but it AZ still more
uncanny to speak with the one who
has mastered the lore Of nature.

INCOME
FIGURES

Most people in Winnemucca are
average Americans. That being the
case, the income for each during
1918, according to figures just given
out by Uncle Sam, was 1854 for
each member of the family. This
rose to an average Of 1929 in 1919.
But it was only 1858 in actual buy
ing power on the basis of 1913
prices. Many thought they were
getting rich during the war. Big
salaries were common, but in a ma
jority of cases they were spent as
fast as the money was received. Our
riches during the war period were,
to a great extent, very largely on
paper. Those SO fortunate as to
salt away" a part Of their income
then are profting now that prices
are seeking the normal level. And,
thinking it over, and rejecting on
past experience, wouldn't 1t be a
pretty wise resolve to decide now to
save more in 1922?

advertisement in a valued contem-
porary this morning which said
Present price Of (oil) stock is sub
ject to raise at any hour, or it's en-
tire removal from sale" Glaringly
the admonition is put forward, "Op-
portunity must be taken advantage
Of to realize success. They who lin
ger get left" To which may be
added that it's the vanguard that
runs into blind intrenchments and
poisoned pitfalls. Safety first runs
mighty strong in the minds Of ma
jority of the investors of the coun-
try at this conservative period. Ne

NEW TOY FINDS MUCH FAVOR
Partisan Children Hall With Joy Idea
Which Has Been imported
From Central 5orneo.

The latest toy which Partisan chill
drcn are buying, and which threatens
to displace the scooter in popular fa-
vor, is modern form of the old
jumping stick
The new Jumping stick" which is
called a pogo is more scieptifc than
its predecessor, which was nothing
more elaborate than a single silt with
two rests for the feet.
1t is made with an india rubber pad
and with strong spring, which ena-
bles its possessor to take series Of
leaps without jar.
The pogo was first found in use, in
"a primitive form, among the Dyak na-
tlyes OF central Borneo, who gave 1t
that name. 1t wns stick with
cross-piece, on which certain favored
young men used TO perform a kind OF.
dance at sacrlfclal ceremonies
As the chiefs took charge OF the
pogos after the ceremony, hiding them
until the next occasion for their use,
It was very difficult to obtain them,
but a French traveller who saw the
dance in progress, described them on
his return to Paris. From his rough
sketch the new Paris toy has been

Seal to be used this fall to raise
money to fight tuberculosis. The plan
of raising money for anti tuberculosis
work by means OF selling one cent
Christmas Seal was first tried four
teen years ago by the American Red
Cross. At that time about 0,000
seals we're sold which meant contri
button of three thousand dollars. From
this small beginning the sale of seals
have increased each year until in
1920 over 1854 million seals were sold
which meant over SS6i0,000 for tu'
berculosis work.
Two years ago the American Red
Cross relinQuished the sale Of the
Christmas Seals TO the Ma onal Tu'
berculosis Association aud is affili
ated associations in every Cite in the
union. A So result The seals are not
designated as formerly Red Cross
Seals but merely Christmas Seals, the
proceeds however are used for the
same purpose as formerly.
In Vermont the seal sale is in
charge OF the Vermont tuberculosis
Association and all but FIVE percent
of the net receipts, which is sent TO
the National Tuberculosis Association
is used in Vermont
The sale has been conducted largely
by school children under the super
vision Of teachers. womens clubs and
other interested persons Last year
little over eight thousand dollars
was raised in Vermont IVY the sale of
the Christmas Seals, This year the
association will endeayor TO raise ten
thousand dollars. rhe proceeds will
be used for the children atsthe Pre-
ventorium, the expenses of the Mod
ern Health Crusade, the district tn
berculosis nurses and clinics and the
health educational work, all under the
supervision of the Vermont Tubercu-
losis Association. IL
