GOOD SPENDERS,
POOR COLLECTORS

The collection of the principal and
interest of the foreign debt of $10,-
O00,000,000 to the United States is
exciting increased attention. Even
the Democrats are Disguised at the
apparent inability of the treasury and
state departments to come to any
understanding with the debtor coun-
tries. For about eighteen months no
interest has been paid and there is
no evidence of any more definite ar
rangements having been made for
meeting the principal. A democratic
senator from Massachusetts has intro
duced a resolution calling upon the
secretaries of treasury and state to
stop all action regarding the loans
until further authority is received
from Congress. Another resolution by
the same senator directs both of these
officials to forward to the senate
copies of all correspondence and re-
ports Of all oral conversations with
representatives OF foreign govern
,ments on the same subject.

"How" and "Why7o

The inquiring toddler just old
enough to be told the name of things
always follows up his question of
"How?' with "Why?p And he puzzles
a good many of his elders. But after
"A while he grows used to the fact that
his elders will either give him a good
reason or stop telling him. He aban-
dons one of the most valuable babits
in the world.
The people who ask why have made
our discoveries for us, and they are
still doing 1t. Why does the steam lift
the teakettle lid? We grew familiar
with James Watt in our childhood
Why do We spend so many thousands
every year on labor turnover? That
question has turned plenty of indus.
trial plants upside down, with the dom
BILE result of a great saving and an
Increase in the comfort and happiness
OF working men and women.
The big thing is that there are inst
as many why's left TO ask as anyone
has answered. The big trouble is that
the man who asks usually has 70 dig
for his own answer. just this dlpgino
has made many a great reputation.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1921-01-27

little over eleven per cent of the sell
lers were real estate agents. From
the fact that, of course. the greater
number of sales thus credited may
have been in the interests of farmers,
1t is seen that the element of pure
speculation scarcely is to be consid-
cred.
1t is a great tribute to the profit
ableness of the agricultural industry
in the state of Iowa that the average
value of farm lands increased 1921
per acre in the five years from 1916
to 1920. No other reason is assigned
than the high price of farm products
and the promise of unusual profits.
The same laws apply to farming as
to all other industries-stocks go up
when dividends increase.

INTERESTING BUT
NOT IMPORTANT

Former Secretary of State Lansing
has in course of publication his men,
oirs on the Versailles peace confer
ence, which will be offered for sale
on March 5th, the day after Mr.. Will
son retires to private life. 1t is under
stood it contains some very frank and
fearless criticisms of the President in
his conduct of the negotiations, par
ticularly as they relate to the grant of
Shantung to Japan, concession that
Lansing earnestly opposed. 1t has
long been a we'll known fact that
Lansing had no sympathy with the
league of nations covenant as drawn
by the President, and he has never
denied the statement attributed to
him to the effect that II the American
people only knew what the league let
them in for they would never stand
for it. Probably more light will be
shed on what actually TRANSFERRED at
Versailles In the printing of the
comments of Lansing than has come
from any other source. The league
treaty can not be made any deader
than 1t is, whatever he may say, but
his revelations will be eagerly read
nevertheless.

SMALL TOWN
GOSSIP

Some people object to small town
life, on the ground that it is too gos-
sippy, that people talk too much about
each other. Gossip was far worse
fault 20 years ago than it is now. In
these times people are too busy run
ming community societies and coop
Grating to get modern advantages,
that they have little time for petty
chatter. The way to eradicate the evil
entirely is to ask gossirers where
they get their information and if they
can find the underlying reason for
its start. Gossip is always exaggera-
ted and generally based on nothing.
1t should be frowned upon by every
one in a progressive community.
