NEVADA AUTO LICENSES
SHOW SLACK TRADE

The Carson Appeal says indications
at the Secretary Of States Office show
that Nevada people are not prone to
part with their dollars this year.
A rear ago Ralph Burris, automo-
bile clerk in the Office, vas kept hus-
Ting making put licenses for new
cars. This year where one new car
appears on the list ten of last years
vintage is recorded. The expected
1000 new cars for the year 1921 will
not be on the books.
1t is also found by the record that
many of the old cars have changed
hands and no new ones take their
places. Cheaper cars are being reg
istered that last season, all going to
evidence the fact that the Nevadan is
not putting his dollars in gas wagons
this season.
Licenses are not rolling in with the
rush of last season. in fact, many of
the cars are yet decorated with last
seasons plate, and while 1t is con
trary to law. the lack of money un-
d~oubtedly has laid up many a ma
chine.
Up to the present time 1919 auto
licenses have been taken out; 65 mot
~or-cycles and the same number Of
dealers licenses.
AS over 10, 900 licenses were issued
last year the licensing is several
thousand shy on what 1t should be.
The total amount of money collected
to date this year is s75,703.91.

THE BUYERS STRIKE

The effect of the unadvertised buy
ers' strike against the high cost of
living is being felt by the treasury Of
Uncle Sam. For nearly four years
the profiteers held a sway absolutely
unchecked by regulation, and the re-
suit was that the people paid such
excessive profits that the Government
began to believe hat 1t was a per-
petual operation.
Almost unheralded the people Of
their own accord went into a non
buying strike. Goods that were man
ufactured to extort unheard-of profits
remain on the shelf; articles that the
householder could do without remain
in the department torres or in the
hands of the manufacturer, all owing
to the excessive profits exacted by the
combination of trusts and profiteers.
For a time big business smiled at
the efforts of the people to a v them
selves; now big business is seeking
an venue to induce the purchase of
the ~overprofits bearing goods. The
public, having found 1t can get along
with less, is sticking to the program.
In a number of the large cities
great advertisements are being run
in the daily papers, advising the peo-
to stop the anti-buying strike and
purchase from the merchants. In
ducements are being offered. yet the
people fail to respond. Once 1t is
discovered that silk stockings and
silk shirts are not essential, that old
clothes can be made to tide the peo-
pie over, and that less expensive food
is just as nourishing, the habit will
grow.
With the new treasurer of the Uni
ted States a billion dollars shy on his
expectations, 1t leaves the admins
tration guessing how to meet the de-
felt.
The chances now are that higher
exactions from incomes will be taken,
that a higher at Of internal revenue
on luxuries will be asked for, but
there is no law so far discovered that
will make the people buy.
Had the American citizens adopted
the non-purchase scheme at the out
set OF the proiteering season 1t would
have brought stress to many a con-
Germ that has since thriven, but un-
fortunately for the people they dis
covered their effective and deadly
weapon rather late.
That 1t is effective is best shown In
the loss of a billion dollars on income
and excess profit tax. Until prices
get down to the point where the
workingman is considered the labor
err should stick on the strike list. 1t
is a sur cure.-0arson Appeal.

THE DEPENDABLE MAN

There is a type of man who is built
for uccess He may have genius or
just ordinary talent-no matter.
The point is hat he always arrives"
While others plod a weary way. he
gets ahead.
Those who take note Of his prog
ress often cannot account for it. So
tley say he Is lucky" Or they
whisper 1t about that he has a pull
with his boss"
But the secret is deeper than that.
He is a man who is absolutely de-
pendable.
Make yourself dependable, and you
come as near being indispensable as
any of us can hope to be. You will
be the last one your employer will
wish to part with, and the first one
that he will wan to promote to
greater responsibilities.
But do not be deceived. Depend
ableness Is a rare accomplishment
so ARE that every executive is on the
lookout for it wherever 1t may be
found. 1t cannot be acquired by wish
ing for it. 1t is the prize that comes
from s~elf-mastery.
What is a dependable man? You
can tell him by these ear-marks:
First, he is the one that you can
rely upon to do his own thinking.
Business requires thinking, and
some must do it. The depend
able man never sidesteps his share
nor tries to pass 1t along to some one
else. You always find him on the
alert. His brains do not fit away on
vacations, leaving his job without a
guardian.
Next, he is one whose judgment
you can trust. He doesn't do foolish
things. He knows his own abilities;
and, not being conceited, he is equal
ly aware of his own weaknesses. He
has the happy faculty Of understand
ing other peoples view points and of
seeking their advice when he ought.
Also he knows when to act on his own
initiative.
Finally. he is a man you can listen
to, taking stock in whatever he says.
You are sure that he speaks only af-
ter due reflection. He does o talk
to the galleries or for the purpose Of
grinding his own AK" He makes
his suggestions and pleads his cause
solely in the interest of the business,
Such a man is safe. Important
duties may be entrusted to him and
he will handle them with diligence,
good sense and earnestness. :
II you are looking for the quickest
route to opportunity. learn to be this
type Of man. There is no better
time for sowing the seeds of depend
ableness than the dawn of the New
Year. This is when one should take
inventory OF himself and set out to
attain these qualifications which are
essential to success.
Be dependable burden litter.
BY tightening the anxieties of those
who must give account for your do
ings you will make yourself their
~favorite and they will help you
achieve your ambitions,

SHERIFF WARNS HUNTERS
Must Have Consent of Property
Own-r, Says Miller.


Hunters who hunt upon the publie
roads or upon private grounds without
the consent of the property owners
are headed straight for jail, it was
declared today by Sheriff ROBBERS
Miller
Sheriff Robert Miller issued the
warning when he received petitions
signed by thirty-two farmers living itl
Soldier township, on routes and 8.
North Topeka. asking him to enforce
the state law relating to hunting. The
farmers declare that hunting i'm that
community has become so prevalent
that the lives of the inhabitants are
actually in danger.
ITO hold license is not enough"
Sheriff Miller declared. The hunter
must also have the consent of the
owner of the property on which he IS
hunting, or the consent of adjoining
property owners if he is hunting upon
the public roads. Several persons
have narrowly escaped death at the
hands of hunters. a great many OF
whom seem to be extremely careless
or indifferent as to where they are
shooting. So I am going 20 enforcs
that law and if 1 hear that 1t IS being
violated in this county it means jail
for the offenders"

to do is to tilt the pyrex dish and see.

Now, look-a-heah. you've just got

Just then the embarrassed little
