Be Loyal
to BROOKLYN!

~ - AOOAAA
MOST Of the two mil
M lions or more of the
residents Of this greatest
borough Of Greater New
York are sublimely un-
conscious of Brooklyn's
magnitude, Importance,
actual performance and
future potentialities.
Considered as an indi-
vidual city, it is the third
largest in the United
States.
1t is the third largest
manufacturing commun-
ity in all America, and
Made-in- Brooklyn prod
ucts, from shoes and
enamel-ware to ships
and cigar machinery, are
sent all over the world.
1t is an ideal place in
which to live 80 healthy
and pleasant, with wide
streets, plenty of parks,
splendid schools and
hospitable churches.
1t is a city Of lower
rents, and more building
of private houses is now
going on in this borough
than anywhere else in
New York. Thus it will
be easier to find a home
and pay less for it in
Brooklyn than in any
other borough in the city.
1t is the logical place
for Brooklyn people to
shop. It's stores are close
at home; they are well
stocked, and both in
merchandise and prices
they compare most fa-
vorably with Manhattan
stores. Their "over-
head" is lower, because
Brooklyn rents are lower
than those in Manhattan.
And of these stores in
the Brooklyn low-rent
area, A. & S. rental
charges are the lowest.
This store the greatest
in Brooklyn - OWNS
its property, bought
years ago at a low figure
and carried on its books
today at the same low
figure.
This difference in our
favor accounts for the de-
cidedly lower level Of
prices at which we can
afford to sell our goods.
For fifty-six years
Abraham and Straus,
Inc, have been selling
merchandise Of quality
at lowest prices; have
been building public
goodwill and have been
growing with goodwill.
Brooklyn deserves the
loyal support Of its peo-
pie; and A. & S., as a
great Brooklyn institu-
ton, in turn deserves its
share Of that support
upon its merits as a pub

FLUFFY'S LESSON

FLUFFY was the spoiled chick Of
l. Mrs. Leghorn's brood, and so one
morning when Duckie called to her to
play with him Fluffy went, although
she knew that her mother had told
all the chicks that the way the duck
lings had of playing was not good for
chicks.
I'VE are going down to the pond,
said Duckie. my brothers and sisters

OF course, Fluffy did not know what
a pond was like, but she did not In
tend to let Duckie think he knew more
than she did. so she went along.
1t seemed long way to the pond,
but Fluffy was brave and she walked
along behind the waddling ducklings,
but when they reached the pond and

FRUIT CROP
RUINED

Reports from all sections of the
United States indicate that the fruit
crop has suffered terribly from April
cold snaps. Many states in the middle
west report that not bud has been
left. while the south has been hit hard
on account of the season being so far
advanced when the chill came. Pos
sibly the result will not be as black
as now predicted, but whether 1t is or
not people will be justified in giving
more than the usual attention to their
gardens, the next best thing to tide
them over the winter when the fruit
crop is failure More work and
harder work and more care in raising
and canning vegetables will help off,
set the shortage of fruit. And those
who are fortunate enough to have
some of the latter will do well to re-
member that this season. especially.
it will be very unwise to let even the
smallest measure OF fruit 60 to waste.

THERE'S
! TWO SIDES

There has always been an objection
on the part of Winnemucca merchants
to having city merchants enter this
field, More than once they have open
ly stated to the editor of this paper
that he is not loyal to the town and
community If he encourages or ac-
cepts advertising from the merchants
in larger towns, and they have
preached whole sermons about stand
ing up for the home town first"
We haven't needed any of these
sermons, for we've neved stood for
anything else but the home town first,
last and all the time. But it's a poor
rule that won't work both ways. So
If the hometown paper Is going to
throw into the waste basket advertis-
ing that comes from the outside then
1t has right to expect the hometown
merchant to make up that loss. Two
can play at this game of loyalty"
and If the editor is going to be loyal
and turn down city advertising. then
the home merchant mus. be loyal

suffer. 1t takes money to run a paper,

Yes, there's two sides 20 the home

the home trade and want to keep the
city merchant from getting it, then do
what he is willing and ankle IS to do =
advertise for 1t. So long as you don't,
loyalty counts for nothing with you.
We're for the home tow first and we
always will be, and we are just as
strong for the merchant who is fair
enough to advertise his ooods in tile
home town paper if he expects tc Ike ~

THE NATIONAL
ANTHEM

The bill introduced by Representa-
tive Linthicum of Maryland to make
1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner" the ma
tional anthem will attract wide at
tention and will have strong support
for its enactment. The hymn now is
recognized by the army and navy as
the national anthem, although 1t does
not possess that status through con-
| gressional action.
There are critics whe will not hest
tate to say that the music of the song
| is not good. Singers complain that
its wide range makes 1t difficult Of
effective rendition except by those
whose voices are especially fitted for
it. and 1t must be admitted that the
song is not well adapted to commun-
ity singing because of its range. But
somehow, there is a pull to the old
air which brings every patriotic per-
son to his feet when the notes ring
out, whether they emanate from the
cornet or the vocal cords, and any
attempt to set the words to another
air would no doubt be met with vio-
lent opposition.
1t is noted that Mr.. Lnthicum's
bill does not refer to the music, but
only to the words of the anthem. 1t
provides that 1.-THE poem written by
Francis Scott Key entitled The Star
Spangled Banner be and the same is
hereby declared to be the national an
them of the United States of Amer
ica." Under this bill, If passed. it
would be possible to set the words
to other music il so desired.
The poem is inspiring, voicing as it
does the spirit of liberty and the love
of country. It's sentiment could not
be improved upon. AS to its vocal
rendition, 1t must be admitted that it
is much more difficult than the British
or French national anthems, but when
properly played or sung 1t is more eff
fective than either. But whatever
technical criticisms may be laid
against it, there is not man. woman
or child in the nation who does not
know 1t and whose heart does not
beat faster when its inspiring notes
ring out.

PREVENTING
ACCIDENTS

Parents can do good deal to pre-
vent serious accidents If they will see
to it personally that their children do
not play in the street and that they
are taught to be careful and to keep
their ears open when walking along.
1t is true Winnemucca has had no
accidents to mar happiness. but every
so often residents get thrill when

street ut twenty-five miles an hour

DIRTY METHODS
USED AGAINST AKIN

The statement of w. L. Akin, which
is printed on page one of this issue,
should give the people of Winnemucca
something more to think about. 1t
should prove to them that proponents
OF all that is bad will stop at nothing
to gain their wicked ends. from black
ening the name of a man who dares
to oppose them, to taking the bread
and butter from a man who may stand
in the road of their crooked, money
making practices.
The effort to "get" Councilman Akin
will not meet with favor among peo-
pie who stand for square deal. 1t
will be put down for what 1t is-one
of the dirtiest, lowest tricks ever per-
petrated In Winnemucca, and If blame
can be fastened on any man or set
of men they will be held In utter con-
tempt Of every riyht-thilLing person.
The whole proposition shows that
1t was carefully thought out, far in
advance, as crushing blow to the
advocates of civic decency. But one
fatal error was made in the calcula-
tion-the instigator overlooked the
fact that Councilman Akin is not made
of the same stuff as the schemer By
his manly stand, in the face of loss
of means to make livelihood, Coun-
Gilman Akin has not only proven him
self a man, but knocked the props
from under those who are afraid to
allow his name to GO before the
people.

ers for this corporation. is that they
would rather never see an ounce
hauled over this road than to witness
successful conclusion to this one rank
injustice. That for the mere matter
of little freight business an official
of this heretofore we'll thought of
corporation would stoop to these
methods is a matter hard to under
stand.
The manner of reasoning of who
ever brought pressure to bear on the
railroad superintendent is not hard to
figure out. Whoever 1t was knew dis
aster would follow If Atkins name
went before the voters, and they knew
that any candidate who stood for de-
cency would be elected and by cleo
ton would help to shut off profitable
source Of income. So the matter was
allowed to drag along until no, other
candidates could take Atkins place.
Then the trap was sprung In hope the
election would be won because people
would have no means of expressing
preference. But the plan has failed
because they neglected to take into
consideration th;.t Akin is real man.
This matter of corporation DONNA
ton is one every voter has rallied
against, both In local and national
elections. Here Is grand oppor-

and turns blind corner about the

the street. Too many children have
a habit of lodging across the street
in front of an oncoming auto, believ-
ing they can Judge the distance and
speed of the machine. Others try to
be smart" by lodging first one way
and then the other, to confuse the
driver, and more than one accident
has been the result of this.
Teach your children that there is
danger in an auto, no matter how
closely they watch. 1t is always the
unexpected that happens, and terrible
accidents occur within a fractional
part of second. Let us use little
precaution and by warning our chill

avoid accidents here.
