AFTER THE
FARMER

Did you know that the farmers
the kind of men who do their trading
in Winnemucca-and who make this
mighty good county in which to live
and do business, are the most sought
after class of people in the world? If
you haven't thought about it, listen
a moment.
The farmer has a solid, year-round
business and his money is good
money, nobody usually having prior
claim to it over the man who steps in
and gets it. And ninety-nine times
out of hundred the men who are
clamoring for the farmers money do
not belong and do not live in this
county. AS rule they have an Office
of some kind in a distant city. They
seek out farm paper and they get up
clubs at very low subscription rates,
sometimes offering premiums, but al
ways with view to getting that
paper into the farmers home at any
cost And they fill the so-called farm
papers with mail-order advertising,
hoping all the time to get the farmers
to swallow the bait. In most in
stances these alluring ads start with
the words: Send No Money" or
there appears in black type-the
BLACKLIST type in the ad-the word
Free" They insist the farmers read
these ads and all their efforts at get
ting subscriptions for the mail-order
farm paper" are rewarded.
1t is a game that Is being worked
every day In this county, and it is not
helping the county one whit. The
men who get the money do not pay
one cent of taxes to keep up the roads

TIME TO
BE CALM

BE CALM
The calmness of Americans in the
past few years. and right now when
serious Industrial conditions confront
US, Is a matter worthy Of note. They
accepted the hardships OF war with
composure. and they stood up bravely
In the face of the highest prices ever
known Immediately following the war.
They did so because work was plenti-
full, and as long as they could get the
money they did not hesitate to spend
1t freely.
Today, in the face OF tremendous
losses being suffered by producers
and that includes a lot of people in
the vicinity Of Winnemucca, they are
remaining calm and hoping markets
will soon become stable and every
thing will get back on sound basis
They are determined to bite their lips
keep at work, save every penny pos
sible and trust to Providence to pull
them safely through.
And it is this calmness that is going
to be our salvation. A people who
refuse to become excited when trouble
besets them can be depended on to
work out any problem. 1t is a people
who lose their heads who cannot be
trusted to settle their troubles as they
arise. Faith governs all of us at this
time. faith in the final prevailing good
sense of both labor and capital, faith
in the stability Of our country, no
matter how blue the outlook may be.
Faith has brought US through some
strenuous times, so let us continue to
have faith that the threatening clouds
will soon roll away and we will walk
out into the bright light OF the great
est prosperity this nation has ever
known.
