MONEY FOR
THE BOYS

Almost every boy on the farm knows
how to pick up spare change during
the trapping season, but somehow the
boys around Winnemucca do not seem
TO have caught onto the fact that they,
too, can earn an occasional dollar in
this way. Trapping is pleasant recrea-
ton, too, as well as profitable from
business standpoint Not only that,
but at the same time you are trap
ping you are Kidding the community
of destructive pests that prey on poul-
try and farm animals. While the mar
ket for fur is low just at present, it
is bound to pick up. for there will
always be good demand for the pelts
of all fur bearing animals.
Trapping can be carried ON any
place, and a boy does not have to
leave home to engage in it. Fur-bear-
ing animals can be found in fair num-
bers right here in this community
The skunk and muskrat seem to pre-
vail all over the western states. Mink
is still quite plentiful.
Experience is not necessary. The
amateur can successfully trap the
smaller and more common animals.
The most essential thing is patience
and a willingness to study the habits
of wild animals. When one knows the
habits of the animal he will not find
it difficult to trap it, and their habits
are not hard to learn. II is easy to
pay for the traps out of the seasons
catch and have a little money left
besides. And the benefit that can be
derived from that much time spent
in the open air will be worth far more
than you will have to spend in actual
money.

BOY BANDIT
WORSTED

A woman in a Chicago residence
district put to flight boy bandit by
assailing him with her handbag. The
mysterious robber has been a terror
to the neighborhood for some time, 1t
appears, but it took a woman to rea-
son that boy of his age-supposed
to be about twelye-was a filter sub
ject for a spanking rather than to be
allowed to play Dick Turpin. And
her method of reasoning proved cor
rect. The youth fled.
1t is easy enough to theorize, of
course, but perhaps if the police
would treat some of the youthful
criminals, who have become so motor
ious in the present wave of crime
throughout the country, as if they
were mere boys. there would be a
fewer number of arrests. These
youths are doubtless filled with no.
lions that they are bold and desper-
ate and bad-and they are-but, If
instead of acting toward them as if
they were really the desperadoss
they want to be considered, the police
were to go after them as truant Off
GERS go, the youths might change their
tone
A little, weary man with a star of a
truant officer can put the fear of
school in the heart of a great husky
lad at any time, If the latter is play
ing "hooky."
On the other hand, there is no more
savage criminal, more murderous,
than youth, when ne goes wrong.
The older bandit may hesitate, but the
man young in years does not. Horri-
BILE crimes have been traced to mere
boys. How to deal with these youths
is not an easy problem to solve

FALSE TEACHERS
IN SCHOOLS

The entire country will watch with
interest the outcome of the movement
in Wisconsin by members of the
American Legion to have excluded
from the public schools teachers who
have been convicted of violating the
espionage laws or who in any way
advocate or suggest the overthrow of
the American government.
Residents of Winnemucca will be
shocked to know that within the
past year or two there has been
found in this country public school
teachers who have actually been OPEN
ly accused of teaching anarchy to
growing boys, and planting seeds
of disloyalty in their young bosoms.
That men chosen by the community
to direct the education of that COM
munity's boys and girls would show
symptoms of disloyalty is almost past
understanding. Their complete unfit
ness to have any hand in educational
affairs has become so apparent in ii
few instances that the Legion has
started an open fight upon them, and
believes 1t will succeed in uncovering
many cases that might otherwise have
gone for long time unnoticed.
We are proud of our teachers in
this community, and We are glad to
know that no suspicion of this kind
has ever been directed against them
And we believe the teachers will be
among the loudest to demand that
those of their profession who are ac-
cused of disloyalty be dealt with to
the limit of the law If they are proven
guilty. The step taken by the Ameri-
can Legion in Wisconsin has the sup
port of loyal citizens of every one of
the remaining AZ states, and it is
hoped they will not stop until they've
ousted every guilty teacher in the
land.

MAKE THIS THE
BANNER YEAR

Before you read any further, OF
before starting upon something else
take just moment or two and ask
yourself if there is any reason why
we shouldn't make 1921 the banner
year in the history of Winnemucca.
Think of the improvements we
talked of in 1920, and which ended in
talk. Ask yourself what held them up,
and why we are still without them.
Then make a resolve to do more this
time than you did before to put them
through. Well venture that every
man in the community can suggest
at least one Improvement badly need
ed the moment you ask him. But of
course it is impossible to make them
all. Then why wouldn't it be a good
idea to take few of them-or make
the start with a single one-and put
it through? Maybe you'll have to give
way to the other fellows opinion OF
Just what the town needs most, but
that's the only way we'll ever get
started And, too, how can you hope
to get your favorite improvement
through IL he doesn't come over to
your way of thinking? After all, fail
ure to give way little to the other
fellow is really back of every munich
pal failure.
Why not make this the banner year
for the community by showing the
other fellow that you're for the best
interests of the whole people by
boosting the improvements most need
ed until we get them through? You
got through 1920, of course. But can't
you see wherein lies even more com
fort and happiness if you had a few
of the improvements you went through
the year without? No town that stands
still is a satisfactory town in which
to live. You make improvements on
your home to make it better place
in which to live-then why not make
other local improvements for the
very same reason? Think it over,
reader, and then show by your work
and your talk that you want this to
be the towns banner year.
No, we won't have to raise taxes
and 1t is not the intention to spend
a lot Of money, but keener interest
in the betterment of Winnemucca will
accomplish wonders.

1T TAKES LOTS
OF NERVE

Scores of Winnemucca people do not
seem to realize that the chef source
of income to the newspaper is its
space. There is no hesitating on the
part of many in asking the editor to
publish an item in his paper without
charge which is more of an advertise
Inent than a piece of news. On the
other hand, 1t is seldom customary
to ask the merchant to give away
one of the many articles on his shelf.
Nobody thinks of walking into store
pointing out something and saying
please give me that for nothing. y
Yet they go right around to the news
paper office with an article they
know will bring them in money and
they coolly and deliberately say to
the editor: please give me space for
this"
Should you ask the merchant for
free goods you'd be refused, and, yet
further. he'd accuse you of wanting
something for nothing. And yet you
will find many who can't see it in the
same light when 1t comes to asking the
newspaper man to give away his
stock In trade-his space.
The newspaper does more to adver-
tise the community and forward pub
lie movements than any other institu-
ton. There is no question about that
and even people who do not take a
paper and pay for 1t know something
about the power of the press. Yet the
newspaper is asked for more free
things than is asked of any other
institution. The duty of the paper is
to conform to the needs, ideals and
tastes of the community and TO serve
as a medium of information. 1t was
never intended to be run in the inter
est of any business or any indiyid-
ual who hopes to get through the

be reform In the diplomatic and even
some improvement in the consular

1t is at least big question of the

well-trained diplomats to represent
the United States in the struggle now
in progress for a fair share of the

LATEST RULES FOR
BANK DEPOS|TORS
(By Ben B. Cain, Jr., of Vitory-)
Wilson Company

Wilson Company
l. Always rush in with your de-
post just at two fifty-nine p. m. when
the teller is ready to close for the
day. This will impress him with the
idea that you are a busy man, and
he will await your daily call with
anxiety and imprecations.
2. Whenever you make mixed de-
posit of checks, bills and silver. never
try to arrange it Systematically SO
that it can be counted readily. Hand
it in by the fistful and ask the teller
to make out the deposit slip. Remem-
Der that he is paid to be genial and
accommodating to the patrons.
g. Never take in your pass-book to
be balanced, as requested, the last OF
the month. The bookkeepers have
hundreds of others to do, and they
will appreciate your thoughtfulness
in thus tightening their monthly task.
Keep it until the first day of the en-
suing month, when they are over
rushed with other work, and insist
on having it balanced while you wait
4. When getting a check eashed
never mention to the teller what de-
nominations of bills you want. Wait
quietly for whatever he hands you,
hen push it back with the request
for something different. This will
give him excellent practice in count
ing.
s. If you are stranger at the
bank and the teller should request
your Identification before giving you
any money, assume fiercely ag
gressive air, demand in loud. clear
tones what he means by insulting
you. and inquire angrily If he takes
you for a swindler. Under such cir
cumstances tellers have sometimes
been known to pay small checks and
take their chances, rather than engage
in further controversy.
g. Should you chance to deposit
small draft on San Francisco, or
other distant city, for collection, run
in the next day and every following
day to ask if they have had returns
from it. By so doing you will establish
a reputation for keeping a sharp eye
on your business, and the bank clerks
will have a chance to get well ac-
quainted with you.
7. In making a deposit of bills, fill
out your slip for the amount, say,
$500, and hand it in with $500 cash.
Any teller is liable to make a mistake
on busy day. In this case you are a
ten-spot to the good. But, should he
discover the shortage, ask to recount
it yourself. 1t Is then easy enough to
slip in the missing bill, say you find
it correct and hand it back with an
air of injured innocence.
8. If check Is made payable to
your order, never endorse 1t before
handing it to the teller, but let him
return it to you and wait patiently
while you put your name on the back
and boiler for blotter. This gives
the teller a moment of much needed
rest, as he gaZes at your fist slowly
looping the loop.
A strict observance of the forego-
ing rules will make your accounts
desirable for any bank, and will rem
der you a general favorite wherever
you do business.

FORDHAM CRUSHES
WASHINGTON 1910
Scores in Every Quarter, South
crners Being Unable to
Make q First Down.

The Fordham University football ma
chine overwhelmed the Washington Col
lege eleven by the high score of l01 to 0
yesterday afternoon at Fordham Field.
This Is believed to be the highest score
ever rolled up by any Maroon gridiron
team.
There was not a shadow of doubt of
the locals superiority after the first
two minutes of play. when Thornton.
the husky Maroon half back. crashed
through the left side of the Washington
Inc for ten yards and the first touch
down. After this early start the Bronx
Catholics had everything their own way
and thereafter scored at will.
Not once during the game were the
Southerners able to make a first down.
The only Washington lad who showed
any knowledge of the game was
keenan,. a guard. who weighed well
over 225 pounds. Ills method of play,
however, consisted in hurting his pom
derous bulk at the unlucky Maroon
warrior who happened to be carrying
the ball. But the slightest glancing
blow would suffice to knock the Ford
halnite down.
