The iron industry in the United
States Is more and more serious
ly threatened by Europe. This
has been Inevitable ever since the
beginning OF the war. and has
been frequently stated in this col

England is cutting steel prices to
meet the competition OF Belgium
and Germany. The United States
must meet the competition OF Bel

stunt A popular movie star was pre-
vailed upon to act new part In
bringing a shoe factory to the Pacific

made you weary to look at she was
forthwith dressed from head to foot In
toys made In Los Angeles. Gown. un-

rations were made in the movie city
of the world. All but shoes-the maid
was compelled 10 appear at Cham

world the missing manufacture.
A beautiful photo of the Los Angeles

RUIN, CHAOS
AND HELL

Secretary Hoover says the disaster
in Russia is beyond charity; that the
same conditions must come every
year until that country gets on some
kind of sane and sound economic
basis and form of government He
says that even II enough food were
sent, there to relieve the starving
there is no way to transport it, as the
railroads have been allowed to go to
wreck and ruin like everything else
As to the causes of famine now he
says the workmen In cities would NOT
produce anything the former wanted
and factories closed down, whereupon
the farmer raised only enough food
for his own need, as the government
would take 1t away from him, any
way, If he did. This reduced agricul-
tural production 20 per cent. and thus
those in the cities starve. Industry OF
all kinds has fallen over 80 per cent
because nobody would work. and got
nothing for what work they did per-
form.
The gold supply of the Soviet has
disappeared and it has broken down
completely. Millions will die unless
America feeds them.

RELATIVELY
A BIG CHEW

Now, don't shy. Friend Reader, like
modest man at a short skirt. be-
cause we're not going to break off
any bigger chunk of Prof Einstein's
theory of relatively than the system
will hold. We have only bitten off a
very small bite of 1t ourself as yet, and
are still chewing on 1t, and realize
that 1t makes the wheels in fellows
head go round just like the propeller
of an air plane. and makes the same
kind of a noise in ones ears.
So now we are digging into time
and space with varying results. We
find that time flies much faster If we
have an overdue note in the bank
than 1t does when we are waiting
with more or less patience for the de-
linquent subscribers to liquidate. 1t
also fits along rapidly after the alarm
clock goes off at six o'clock in the
morning and one thinks he will steal
nfteen minutes more LOT Deduty
snooze before tumbling out to do the
chores and go to work.
Space, on the other hand Is some
thing else, already yet, and then
some. Space. we find, has consider
able to do with the stars-not the
movie stars that carry Communication
tickets to Reno nor yet the kind one
sees after being smitten on the other
cheek, but the stars that lend their
kindly light when fellow is trying
to navigate home between an army OF
telephone poles at 2 am. There are
some stars so far away from this
planet that 1t takes their light three
hundred years to reach us. yet their
light waves travel at the rate of 1885,
900 miles a second.
Now. as soon as you figure out the
exact distance Of these stars we will
give you the second chapter Of rela-
tivity. as by that time maybe we will
know a trifie more about 1t.

A PRIVATE
HOUSECLEANING

All the financial newspapers In the
country and many other publications
recently ran story telling how
Henry Ford solved the difficulties Of
the Ford Motor Company in its read
justment from a war to peace basis.
In brief, Mr.. Ford did what every
good business man has been doing.
He cut down his inventories by using
up all material ON hand, reduced his
prices and distributed his product to
his various agents. He pushed his
collections. both foreign and domestic,
sold what Liberty bonds were neces-
sary, and reduced his obligations to a
minimum.
Then" says Mr.. Ford, I'VE went
through the offices and cut out lot
of jobs created during the war. We

CHARITY
AT HOME

Seems like 1t is a good time right
now to put into practice that old and
true saying about charity beginning
at home. There are between four
and five million idle men in this
country unable to secure employ
ment; some of them have families to
to support, wives and little children.
and they have got to have help, espec-
tally as winter is coming on and their
chances Of getting employment not
getting any better. There Is bound to
be widespread suffering in all the big
cities and organized help must take
the condition in charge, and see to 1t
that our own American women and
children are given food and shelter.
We have given to dozen foreign
countries billions of dollars, and APP
parently there is no end to 1t. for as
fast as one is fed another gets to
starving. Now it Is Russia. and the
American Relief Society on the Dor
der is hard at work in their behalf. A
month ago it was millions of starving
Chinese, and just before that more
millions In Middle Europe. 1t is well,
and grand, that we of this country
have been able to render help to these
millions who must have starved to
death otherwise, but we cannot af-
ford to give all our largess to foreign
ers and let our own people suffer for
need of help. 1t is to be hoped we
can help them all. but II we can't,
then charity must begin at home.
If neighbor is out of work. his
wife sick and his Riddles out OF shoes
and grub. we are going to slip him
five spot instead of donating 1t to a
fund to buy Bibles for the Eskimo or
pajamas for Timbucktoo. We feel
sorry for Bedouin, the Bulgarian, the
Rumanian, the Czecho-Slovonian and
the Scandinavian, but are whole
lot more sorry for the hundreds of
thousands of our own fellow men.

SHOULD ALL WORK FOR
PROJECTS SAYS PAPER

The result of Secretary Falls visit
to Nevada will be awaited with a
great deal of enthusiastic interest
by all OF the people of this state. The
promises that are held out to Me-
vada as the result Of his favorable
opinion and interest In the develop
ment of this state will encourage the
people OF Nevada to get together and
do a whole lot of work on their own
behalf
The early start of work on the
Spanish Springs reservoir means a
great deal to all western Nevada. and
to the entire state. for the people
must never lose sight OF the fact that
what benefits one section OF Nevada
is a benefit to the entire state.
Spanish Springs is a natural reser-
voir site and the Secretary un-
doubleday realized this as soon az he
saw the advantages that surrounded
tuS fdiiey. T<diiy "oih ou tuiS pfopo-
sition means much money spent In
this vicinity In construction work.
and better than that means thous-
ands OF acres changed into produc-
ing land.
While Warm Springs must be in
vestigated before 1t will receive gov
eanment sanction for that project,
those who have investigated the stu
alton are sanguine Of results. for
their careful Investigations have re-
vealed the ease with which this large
valley can be reclaimed and they are
sure that the government investigat-
ors will endorse their opinions.
With big project under way here.
big power project under considera-
ton In the southern end OF the state,
and big reclamation projects to be
undertaken In Humboldt county, the
resources OF northern Elko to be tap
ped by new railroad, a better con-
seryation and consequent reclamation
OF acreage on the Carson project, a
big water storage proposition on the
Walker. and 1t is to be hoped the near
revival OF the mining industry by the
loosening of the restraints that have
hampered production In southern Ne
vada, the outlook for this grand old
state Of ours is certainly encouraging
But Nevada people must not fall
into rut and think the government
Will take care of all OF these things
The people have their work cut out
for them. and they must use all the
power they possess to bring about a
successful contamination of all the
plans that are under way.
A hearty cooperation from the peo.
pie Of all sections must be secured
fractional disputes and petty strife
must be laid away in a bed of quick
lime. and all must work for the com.
mon interests Of the stats.-spsrks
