LET'S HOPE
1T SPREADS

We dare say almost every resident
of Winnemucca has been interested
during the past few weeks in the lib
eral and numerous price reductions
made by almost every auto concern in
America. Even those who do not own
machines are interested, because this
new revolutionary turn in the auto
world forecasts possible reductions in
many other things. Auto manufactur-
ers declare they haven't cut prices by
reducing wages, or because materials
used in making automobiles are grow
ing cheaper They say they are cut
ting their profits, and that the low
cred price means they see the neces-
sity Of doing business on a smaller
margin of profit. II this is true, then
the entire country has cause to be
thankful. For it simply means that

WHY NOT
TRY TIT

All over the country merchants are
adopting the three per cent method of
advertising, and it is proving so profit
able and satisfactory to them that we
believe our Winnemucca business men
would do well to give it attention
Actual tests in hundreds of cases have
proved that an advertising appropria-
ton of three per cent of the previous
years gross sales have increased the
business thirty-three and one-third
per cent. This increase doesn't hap
pen the first week after the advertis-
ing starts, but in the cumulative eff
feet of campaign carried on regu-
larry each week for whole year. Ii
the three per cent were all spent in
one grand blowout it would be
wasted. But distributed over an en-
tire year it is the surest business
builder in the world. Big city stores
spent five and seven per cent, and
mail order houses as high as ten and
twelve per cent, but in towns like this
three per cent will do as much, and
even more on the capital invested.
There is one sure way to prove this,
and you can't lose either. And that
Is to try it out.

WHY

is the band of any color of constant

of the several colors uniform. bu'
perhaps the most interesting feature
which Prof. Humphreys brings out Is
the fact that no two persons see me

the two positions and, therefore, the
identity of the two bows, would be-

der that the mines of the state are
closing down?
when the Honorable Charles Rob-
ley Evans was elected to Congress he
carried back to Washington with him
the draft of a measure that was to
have knocked the smelter trust into
a cooked hat. The Honorable Charles
Robley had previously had a set-to
with the smelter octopus over his
Luning property in which he came out
somewhat less than second best. Dur
ing his two years at the nations
capitol Western Nevada Miner anx-
iously watched for the appearance of
this bill, but it never so much as
showed its poor little frost-bitten
nose. Can 1t be. possible that the
robber barons of the smelter trust
have their feudal estates at Washing
ton so strongly entrenched that none
dare attack? We commend this de-
plorable condition to the serious and
earnest consideration of Senator
Howling Hiram of California. 1t will
afford him great and glorious OPP
portunity to blow off steam .
So there you are. Perhaps Western
Nevada Miner is right, and the bill
to provide protection for tungsten has
no more chance of passing than "a
tallow cat has of catching an asbestos
rat in hell" (Some expression.) But
there is just this much e'oit II from
the viewpoint of The Sily,r State.
Perhaps former Representative
Evans didn't get to list base with
much-needed smelte- legislation, and
perhaps it's true he didp'te1o much OF
anything during his two years at
Washington except write bunk" let
tiers to his constituents. Perhaps he
was told he couldn't do anything and
shouldn't do anything, and perhaps
Evans believed it. Perhaps Evans
nlHlStil ltll lOl Tic sdillc liiln6 nC
wanted others to fall for-that ''it
takes an old head" to accomplish any
thing at Washington.
But there's one thing Buck will
have to give Arentz credit for-he at
least introduced his bill, and lives in
hope that the relief will be granted to
Nevada mining operators and work
ers. At that, we believe Bucks posi-
tion to be one of well. we'll wait and
see, but right now we don't think it
can be done"
For his benefit, however. and for
anyone who's interested, we'll say he
doesn't know Scn AREN'T. We think
we do. We know Arentz to be q real
miner and q real rancher, and we
know he knows just what real miners
and real ranchers are up against. And
he knows what will best alleviate
conditions. But most important of all
we know he is the sort of a man who,
when people say at can't de DONE"
will get his back bowed and do it.

COTTON MARKET
is UNSETTLED

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Conficting
influences have been reflected in the
unsettled ruling of the cotton market
here during the past week Local
bulls have found no fault with reports
from the goods trade or the south
Sales of cloths have continued larger,
with the business at Fall River for
the week again estimated at 800 900
plsces, while almost every day had
brought reports of increasing mill ac-
tivity. With reference to the spot
situation, southern hedge selling has
been reported here from day to day,
but 1t has been in no great yolum,
with no indication that recent ad-
vances have brought any material
pressure Of spot offerings. This has
been regarded by some of the local
traders as indicating that weakIv-he;
cotton had been pretty well lialida ted
before the end of the cid year ard
that remaining holders were more
certain of their position These fea
lures, however, have been modified in
their effect on the market by reports
Of depressed trade contions abroad.
Liverpool has been weak owing to
the failure of Manchester business TO
show any Improvement, and because
or the large supply of cotton still
available in the south some of the
local traders have expressed appre-
tensions that advances here could not
be maintained until export business
improves.
The f1rmer ruling of foreign ex-
change rates has been an encourage
ing feature in this respect, but there
have been unfavorable reports from
Czecho- SloNalSia, and the statement
that the re-established war finance
corporation would not aid exports to
countries with which we are still at
war seemed a disappointment in some
quarters. The strength of January
contracts was sustaining factor
early in the week and the January

ton might be re-tendered on March
seemed largely responsible for heavy
liquidation Of the early spring month
during today's trading. 1t is estimat-
ed by the end of this month there will
be stock of not less than $4,000 bales
in the local warehouses.

COTTON REACHES
new LOW LEVEL

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21-Cottor
was lower today from the opening to
the close, reaching its lowest levels in
the last few minutes of the day when
it traded down to 14.03 for March, at
which level the more active months
showed losses of 70 to 70 points. The
market was closed at losses of 70 to
10 points. Selling appeared to be
about equally divided between the two
accounts, heavy liquidation being in
duced by rumors of the settlement of
the January DEAL which were strenu-
accounts were stimulated by contin-
ued unfavorable reports from Liver
pool and Manchester and by claims
that the edge had been taken off the
demand for cotton goods in this coun-
try.
Before the opening Liverpool stood
much lower than due and this, to-
gether with private messages claim
ing that conditions could hardly be
worse in the Manchester market, was
back of the early selling. One pri-
vate cablegram said that English
mills were beginning to refuse to ac-
cept deliveries of cotton they had
bought.
In the late trading the heaviest liq-
uidation of the day came on the mar
ket, tired holders of long contracts
letting go in volume Mill takings for
the week of 255,OUo bales against $685.
900 this week last year made an un-
favorable impression. At no time dur
ing the day did any wide reactions
from the decline occur.

EYE CLINIC TO
BE OPENED SOON
Free Treatment for Trachoma Will Be
Given to Adults and Children.

A free clinic for the treatment of
trachoma will be opened at the Pen
sacola hospital as soon as the present
examination of school children in the
city schools is completed. Children
found suffering with the disease will
be stopped from school the day the
clinic opens and will not be allowed
to return to any school in the state
until treatment is given. 1t is to be
optional with parents as to whether
children are treated at the cline or
by an eye specialist Of their own
choosing. But the treatment must be
given before the children will be al
lowed to again enter school.
DR.. w. b. Heating, director of the
bureau of child welfare, state board
of health, who has specialized in the
treatmentof trachoma, will be in
charge of the clinic. Both adults
and children will be given the treat
ment free. Parents of children suffer-
ing with trachoma will be notified.
Trachoma Is recognized as a very
dangerous disease of the eyes and re-
suits in blindness. It is an insidious
disease in that it progresses gradual
ly but surely. In its first stages it
is seldom recognized by any but n
specialist. 1t has occasional periods
of greater activity resulting in a con-
dition sometimes thought to be only
case Of sore eyes. It is a highly
contagious disease and comes under
the same board of health ruling as
that Of smallpox and similar diseases.
The cure is simple and only keeps
the child from school about 10 days.
There is absolutely no danger in the
treatment and it can be given to a
child, however small. The state board
OF health is working to eradicate the
disease throughout Florida and in its
work for a better future for the chill
dren of the state is receiving the
the hearty cooperation of the parents.
Already pupils in nine of the city
schools, have been examined. The ex-
animation is expected to be complet-
ed and the clinic opened about the
last Of January.
