THE SHOE
PROBLEM

An article of everyday wear that
has shown little inclination to go
back TO pre-war prices is shoes.
While there has been a decline within
the past few months. taken as whole
the shoe market has held up its price
better than anything else We are
forced to buy.
For that reason anything suggested
to give Winnemucca people more SER
vice for their money is welcomed So
you'll be interested in the statement
of shoe expert that shoes should be
selected according to the kind of wear
they are to receive. IL the shoe is for
tramping or rough usage, gun metal
or mat calf Is best; for street or gen.
eral wear, glazed kid or fine calf Is
more satisfactory, while the patent
feathers, suedes and kids have their
place as dress shoes. Two pairs of
shoes purchased at the same time and
worn against each other with frequent
changing will last longer than the
same two pairs when one is COM
pletely worn out before the other is
used Shoes must conform to the
shape of the foot and allow free move
ment if they are to be comfortable
and wear we'll. Their life will be
heightened If the heels are never al
lowed to run over and the leather is
kept clean.
The smallest infants shoe, number
0. measures almost four inches. BY
adding one-third of an inch for each
full size, or one-sixth for half-size,
the length of any shoe may be deter
mined. 1t is estimated the foot OF a
child grows one size in eight weeks.
So when buying shoes for children
1t is good idea to have them from
two to three sizes longer than the foot
measures.

BLAMING 1T
On THE WAR

II has grown TO be habit with
some people to blame all of our ills
on the war. We have quite a few
citizens right here in Winnemucca
who have become addicted to this
habit They point at the high price
of coal and say 1t was because the
government scrambled up the rail-
roads so during the war they haven't
been untangled yet. Listen to another
nan and you'll hear that the war
20 raised the miners pay that he can
aarn in one day as much as he earned
n three days before the war, and that
he is, therefore. not inclined to dig
8 much coal as he used to.
Another man will declare that meat
s up because cold-storage people
stocked UP so heavily during the war
and found such high prices abroad
where cattle raising has become i'm
possible during the past five years,
that they don't want to get back to
prewar prices.
Another will tell you that the peo-
pie have been, as whole, too care
'ess in providing themselves with the
necessities of life, like food and fuel,
and have been too much occupied in
paying for the luxuries of life, like
automobiles. That, of course. is not
true. thought the rush by some for
luxuries has prevented the supply Of
The necessaries to others. We are all
dependent, one upon another, and we
must learn to strike a better level
between necessaries and Injuries.
But blaming everything that's
wrong on the war is a mistake. The
war brought about changed condi-
tions, OF course, but in way it has
brought some blessings. We've had
high prices. and we had the money
to buy with The solution now is to
keep right at work, forget about the
war as quickly as possible, and do
the best you can to bring your COM
munity around to an even better po-
sition than II was before the war.

nemucca some time ago, and for
which reason will be remembered by
local people, visited the White House
to ascertain if the President had
taken action on the bill presented to
him for approval several days before,
giving to the owners of mining claims
six months additional in which to do
annual work on their properties.
Mr.. Tumulty, the Presidents secre-
tary, was taking an afternoon OF
when the Senator arrived at the White
House. The assistant secretary was
out of the city and there was no one
who could put Mr.. Ashurst In COM
munication with the President. Mrs.
Wilson was also inaccessible, but she
sent word that Mr.. Tumulty must be
seen about the matter After a wait
of hours, that gentleman returned to
his desk, but declared that nothing
could be done about the bill until II
had been passed upon by Secretary
of the Interior Payne, who was at that
moment disporting himself at the pop
ular resort at Pinehurst, North Caro-

TO OUR
SITBSC RIBERS

During the year through which we
have just passed we have tried hard
to give the people of Winnemucca and
community the best paper possible.
We have tried TO make the paper rep
resent the people generally. rather
than any particular clique or element
In the end we know this fact will be
recognized and appreciated, and for
that reason present troubles do not
cause much anxiety. Before We get
very far into the New Year we want
to pledge ourselves to try and make
this newspaper even better and of
more benefit to the community.
But we cannot do this alone. We
must have your help. your good
words, your cooperation. Nothing
goes further toward inspiring an edi-
tor to good work than a paid-up cir
eulation list And right here you can
show your interest in the paper and
the community ii is seeking to serve.
Start this year with your paper paid
up to the first of next year-a small
thing on your part, but tremendous
thing to the paper If everyone fol-
lowed the rule and paid in advance.
We then have an opportunity to go
into the paper and material market on
a strictly cash basis, and that means
something to those we serve. We can
feel surer of your interest when We
see your account marked up for
whole year, and there is no surer way
you can show that you want to CO
operate with your home paper thar
to keep your subscription paid in ad
vance.
Bring, send or telephone any items
you feel will be of interest to the
community. Call our attention to any
event or incident we may appear to
overlook. Remember that we are rum
ming an institution that stands for
the good of the whole community, and
that you are a stakeholder. Do this
throughout the year and see if you
don't feel the benefit that comes from
having a real-live paper catering to
your interest.

The bravest man every so often is
afraid to face the truth.
ftt
The source of an infants strength
is its weakness; but you're no infant.
TT
Then there is the kind of man who
is always in a hurry, but never ar
rives.
Love makes the world go round,
but IT usually takes marriage to
square 1t.
What on first glimpse seem to be
sterling virtues often prove to be only
silver-plated.
1t is said there are so many black
berry pickers this season that it's a
regular JAM
It's a wise Winnemucca man who
knows whether a girl is laughing at
him or smiling at him.
TIT
The man with swelled head suf-
fers a whole lot less than those who
have to live with him.
tt
No immigrant is truly an American
until he learns the beauties OF base
ball and pumpkin pie.
tt
What greater distinction could a
man have nowadays than to have a
potato named for him?
TT
No Winnemucca man will bet with
his wife, unless he is prepared to lose
whether he wins or not
ttf
Most Winnemucca people have the
hardest time deciding what to do after
they have made up their minds
ttf
They say the paper in which meat
is wrapped costs more than the meat,
Yes. and it makes lot poorer gravy.
TIT
The quickest way to win the conf
dence of most Winnemucca men is to
start cussing some fellow they don't
like.
Another thing about the operations
of the profiteers is they never stop
to give anaesthetics when they op-
crate.
ftf
AS man looks back over his life
he learns that his most profitable les
sons were learned from cooks instead
of books.
The reason you are only fifty per
cent efficient today is because you
were one hundred per cent inefficient
last night.
Most Winnemucca men have come
to realize that in this day and time
even a soft-bosom shirt commands a
stiff price.
What right have we to laugh at the
bolshevists when we read in history
that our Puritan fathers put tax
on bathtubs?
TT
1t has been our observation that
the average Winnemucca girl never
thinks much of man until after he
has made her mad.
tt
If you put off until tomorrow that
which you should do today. maybe
there won't be any tomorrow and you
won't have to do it at all.
ftt
There is one thing that will start
back-to-the-farm movement quicker
than anything else, and that is for
the factories to start closing down.

put on her gloves and wraps, now

GOVERNOR SAYS BROWN
SHOULD EITHER co

Governor Richie was asked
what he had TO say about the re-
port from Washington to the ef-
feet that the convicted negro muir
derer, Henry A. Brown. who kill
ed Naval Academy nurse. was
TO escape the gallows and be
given a life sentence on the rec
ommendation or Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty
The Governor replied:
Il have not heard anything
from Attorney General Daug-
herty. though | have been expect
ing 10 hear from him. 1t seems
TO me that if the sentence OF the
court in the case OF Brown is to
be changed. the Attorney-Genoral
will let the people of Maryland
know what the reasons for it
are.
The case has been discussed
as though there might be a rea-
sonable doubt about the guilt of
Brown and as though he had been
convicted on circumstantial eyi-
dence alone. But the man con
fessed the crime. If he is inno-
cent he should be set free; if he is
guilty he should be hanged. But
ii should not be forgotten that he
confessed"
