FARM LAND
DECREASE

1t may interest people to know that
report just sent out by Uncle Sam
shows plowland in the United States
decreased seven per cent in price per
acre during the past year. The aver
age value of plowlands per acre on
March was $S3.7S, as compared to
$9001 in 1920 and 1881 in 1919. 1t
is blamed on declines in crop prices.
The report also shows that the great
est drop was in Kentucky, due to
tobacco price declines. A year ago
the average price per acre of Ken
lucky plowland was $40 This year it
IL placed at $53. The highest score IS
shown by Iowa. There the average
plowland acre is quoted as 5000. while
last year the value was $219. Illinois
shows the next slightest drop. West
ern states, taken as whole, show a
smaller decrease than those in the
east, north or south. 1t is also inter-
esting to note that. according to the
report, land prices in the United
States are still higher than they ever
were in history up to the year 1920.

That love and affection and honor and

That every day brings us the JOY OF a

Fresh with endeavor and duty and truth
As we swing to our tasks with the vigor

Singing the music of love and cheer,
Till clouds drift apart and the storms dis

I want to go trusting that this will be go
As out to the toll and the tumult We go;
That hearts will be kinder and life will

With the blessing of labor that leads to

And all will come right In the end some

GOOD POINTS
IN HARDING


Irrespective of politics, all will give
President Harding credit for telling
Congress some good, wholesome
truths and hard-boiled facts in his
first message, and II they will heed
1t and be guided by it. much good
must accrue to our country and the
whole people. Some may disagree
with him in minor matters. but when
1t comes to the wild and crazy ex-
penditure of public money by Con-
gress, the following words Of wisdom
from the President should be framed
and hung up in both House and
Senate:
THE unrestrained tendencies to
needless expenditures and the attend
ing growth of public Indebtedness, ex-
tending from federal authority to that
Of state and municipality and includ-
ing the smallest political subdivision
constitute the most dangerous phase
Of government today. Our current ex.
penditures are running at the rate Of

ployed in correction: One /, rigid re
sistance in appropriation and thu
other is the utmost economy in ad

case. skipped out the minute the rul-
ing went against him and he faced the

expected. He is now in Russia among
the rest of the bomb-throwers. Hay
wood is a bad egg, and has never been
anything else. He never has been a
desirable citizen of the United States
and if he will stay in Russia it will
be good radiance to bad rubbish. OF
course the millionaire Socialist of
Chicago who was foolish enough to
go on his bail will have to pay. but a
little thing like doing a friend up for

SUNNY-SOULED

What affords any more pleasure
than meeting on the street the man
whose soul is filled with sun3hine
The world love him, and at home II

kind Of men in Winnemucca, and how

IL worth more than money. and 1t al
ways makes a fellow feel like he has
more to live for when he sees their
sunny smiles. hears their words of
good cheer and feels their approving
hand-shake or pat on the back. What
a wonderful thing 1t Is to be able to
carry your own sunshine right around
with you; to cast glow of bright
ness and joy upon every condition Of
life. The power to turn gloom into
gladness, the provoking faculty,
the ability to make man smile when
he feels blue-it's worth everything
to possess. And the young man who
is soon to start out into the world for
himself couldn't do wiser thing than
cultivate the sunshine habit.

GO HAND
IN HAND

Business success and advertising go
hand In hand. The best way to judge
the business enterprise of any COM
munity is by the size and frequency
Of the ads in the hometown paper
All readers are strangers until they
buy. The business visitor to Winnie
mucca is q stranger until he buys a
few meals; and the permanent resi-
dent is very much stranger at the
store he has never been invited to
patronize. The large display ad at
tracts and holds attention and arouses
respect and confidence. 1t cries out
"low cost, low overhead, low selling
prices, quality goods" 1t dominates
the page, Of course, just as the man
sion of many rooms looms up larger
than the shack. All ads are read
big or little. Everybody knows that,
and the statement calls for no argu-
ment. But the merchant who is seek
ing real business success, and who
wants to advertise the best way and
to get the most for his money is the
one who realizes that the larger the
ad the greater its pulling power.

accounts for the miraculous escape
from death experienced by a black cat
