THE EARLY
-U4r

''The early bird catches the
worm," is a favorite saying at most
fany season of the year. 1t might
also be said with equal emphasis
and truthfulness that swatting a fly
now means a MILLION less flies a
little later on.
Citizens of Winnemucca are
aware Of the fact that the breeding
proclivities of the housefly are un-
equalled in the insect world. For
that reason it is good judgment to
start swating before they have the
chance to breed. The fly swatter,
tanglefoot paper and other devices
for cutting down the ranks of the
dangerous pests should find ready
sale even this early, for they can
be used to greater advantage now
than they can later on, when warm
weather, fertile breeding places and
the ability of the insect to multiply
its kind results in greater numbers
where there are now but a few.
1t is the first flies of spring that
do the most damage, in assuring
swarms later on. Get out the fly
swatter now and practice up on
killing them. Rid the house Of them
as rapidly as they appear If per-
sisted in, daily attack will insure
comparative freedom from the dis
ease-carrying, food-infeeting and
baby-menacing destroyers. Make it
your business to kill the first fly you
see, and continue the practice every
day.

Some of the things to be gained for

good marketing will be "a study of
brands, as the greater number OF
foods are now purchased in package

full to the busy housewife in many
ways. 1t makes her more independ-

her family is saved disappointing

such an important part in the prep

How Great Sentiment Originated.

Charles C. Pinckney was one of
three ENJOYS sent by the United States
to France in 1907 to settle disputes
which had arisen between the two
countries. The American grievance
was caused by the seizure of Ameri-
can vessels by France. The French
grievance was that commercial priyi-
leges had been granted to England
Talleyrand. the French foreign minis
ter, refused to receive the ENJOYS, but
it had been conveyed to them by
secret agents that before any settle
ment could be reached 1t would be
necessary for the United States to pay
a large sum of money, which was, In
fact, little more than bribe. 1t was
then that Pinckney made his famous
declaration that the United States had
millions for defense, but not one cent
for tribute"

How to Attain Old Age.

Refusal to worry is one of the
secrets to long and happy life, said
Chester r. Woodford of AVIAN, who
Is one hundred and seven years old,
says a Winsted Comm dispatch to
the New York Tribune. He is the
oldest living ex-member of the Con
necticut house of representatives and
belongs to long-lived family. His
mother lived to be dnety-seven years
old ana his grandmother to be one
hundred and two.
Going to the Middle West In 1888
as clock peddler, Mr.. Woodford met
Abraham Lincoln when the latter was
country lawyer in 1S41. Mr. Wood

SOPHISTICATED
FILIBUSTER-

There is no longer any possibility
of truthful denial that a filibuster
is on against the tariff bill in the
Senate. Democratic senators pri-
vately admit the fact, and it is only
in public utterance that denial is
made. The purpose of the filibuster
is perfectly plain-it is to defeat,
so far as possible, all political adj
vantage that would accure to Mr..
Harding's party from the prompt
enactment of the tariff bill. The
campaign is coming on rapidly, and
if the bill can be held off until
election, or nearly so, the admins
tration will be deprived of credit
for putting into effect measure
that will benefit every citizen by
fastening the wheels of business.
That benefit will not be felt by
the voters at election time if the
Democrats can succeed in their
filibuster. 1t is a melancholy mis-
take of political policy on their part,
thus to interfere with the return
of full prosperity. They are en-
titled to employ argument to show
that they are better qualified to adj
minister the government than the
Republicans are, but they are not
justified in holding back the pros
perity of American citizens in order
to gain political advantage. That
is not a political stratagem-it is an
interference with industry and com
merce.
If the tariff bill is bad, it is the
duty of the Democrats to show
wherein it is bad, and then it is
their duty to permit a vote. The
Republicans, by passing the mea-
sure, will assume full responsibility
If the points made by the opposition
are true, public condemnation will
strike the Republicans down. Full
discussion and a prompt vote con-
'NAb'"N SAS PiOPNi ploNOdult lol Inc
Democrats as well as the Repubi-
cans.
The filibuster, if carried much
longer, will demonstrate itself as
such. Every citizen in the United
States will see the obstruction and
will know who is making it. What
is the political gain in that case?
The Republicans win have the better
of the argument if they are keen
in exposing the nature of the fill
buster and the identity of the fill
busters. They have not been lack
ing in this acumen heretofore.
Hence, from the point of view of
political strategy, the filibuster is a
bad mistake as well as an injustice
to citizens who are working hard
for the return of full prosperity

lMPART COLOR TO THE NILE
Green Has Only Recently Been
Explained.

Screen sea" on the ocean and
green water on the Nile have two
quite different meanings. The clear
unbroken wave that sweeps over the
deck has no relation to the unpleas-
ant product of the upper part of the
great river.
About April Is the Nile begins its
annual rise. y month later the effect
is felt at Khartum. A most curious
phenomenon accompanies this in
crease in the appearance of green
water"
1t used to be thought that the color
came from the swamps of the Upper
Nile, lying isolated and stagnant un-
der the burning tropical sun, and pol
luting the waters with decaying vege-
table matter. With the spring rise
this fetid water was supposed to be
swept into the streams to make its
appearance in Egypt.
This theory was abandoned some
time ago The green water is caused
by the presence of innumerable num-
bers of microscopic algae, offensive to
the taste and smell. They have their
origin way up in the tributaries, and
are carried to the Nile, where under
the hot sun and in the clear water
they increase with amazing rapidity,
forming columns from $50 miles to 800
miles long.
The weeds go on growing and dying
and decaying until the turbid flood
waters put them to an end, for they
cannot exist save in clear water

THE MORTGAGE
INDICATED

The mortgage was the chief stock
in trade of writer's of the old-time
melodrama and of the cheap novel
that proceeded it, In their hands
the claim against the old home
stead or the newly-built cottage of
the poor but virtuous young hero
became a weapon as deadly as a
woman's tongue. According to their
way of presenting the matter, the
man who put a mortgage on his
land or house placed himself at the
mercy of some miserly old Shy
lock who thenceforth devoted him
self to plotting the ruin of the
mortgage in order that he might
possess himself of the property in
question.
The crux of many a 10-cent
matinee hinged upon the appearance
OF this old skinfint to dispossess
the unfortunate widow or the strug-
Cling young hero on the day the
mortgage fell due, with no funds
in the bank with which to meet it.
And doubtless lot of that sort of
thing actually was practiced in real
life in bygone days.
But not so now. Today the mort
gage is recognized business in
strument of vital Importance in rs
per cent or all real estate trans
actions. 1t is not a sign of pow
erty, but Of thrift, and nobody
forecloses a mortgage except when
driven to it by dire extremity.
And so the ancient horror of the
mortgage that might spell ruin has
been dissipated by the understand
ing that the mortgage has become
a menas of property holding and
ownership that without it would be
impossible.

The Kind That Count

If you take a walk about town
you will no doubt find quite a few
fellows out of work because they
are looking for something that does
not exist-a soft job.
During the past few months we
have read and heard a great deal
about unemployment. But it
strikes us the unemployed off the
pay roll is no menace compared
with the unemployed on the pay
roll. 1t is hard for some men to
realize that the war is over and the
battle for success is on.
This is the Comeback year"
and the fellow who will come back
in 1922 is the fellow who will work
for all he is worth. Looking for an
easy berth, or better job some
where else is like looking for a
whangdoodle. There is no such an
imal.
There are some men who are
right now making the biggest strides
toward success that they have ever
made. They are the men who are
paying no attention to the COM
planning grouches and chronic
seekers for soft snaps. They are
pitching in and earning the conf
dence of the management, by the
right kind of cooperation and the
best kind of service.
The man who has the real desire
to get ahead has greater opportun-
tiles today than when we were
crazy with cash and insane with
the idea of spending it.
Ask Yourself
AS you push your tired legs
through your trousers to the mer-
ry jingle of the alarm clock, do you
ever recall those days when you
jumped out of bed, tossed on your
two-piece suit of hickory waist and
that pair of pants with the patch
on the seat, grabbed the old straw
hat with the hole in the top and
slid down the banisters to that
savory breakfast of bacon and
eggs? Do you ever stop to wonder
if the staid old business man of to-
day could really be the lad who
couldn't wait to open the gate, but
leaped over it and raised a cloud of
dust as he ran barefooted down the
village street to whistle for Skinny
on his way to the pond? Can those
weary old feet be the same that
once suffered from a stubbed toe
and the ground-itch? Can that
shiny bald pate or the head with its
locks of gray be the same that was
cut so close the hair would dry
almost between dives in the old
creek? What has become of that
happy-go-lueky boy that ate so

INDIANA FOR
HARDING

Democratic politicians seek to
attach great significance to the re-
suit of the primaries in Indiana, and
pretend to see an enemy of victory
for their party in the defeat of
Senator New by Mr.. Beveridge.
Says the New York World: "Noth-
ing more certain to shake the adj
ministration to its very center
could have happened than Senator
News defeat The statement is
typical of the declaration of other
Democratic editors who are snatch
ing at straws in their frantic eff
forts to save themselves.
The truth is that the Republican
primaries in Indiana had no bearing
whatever OH nationl issues. Senator
New is an administration man and
one of the chief supporters of Presi-
dent Harding, but Mr.. Beveridge
did not attack him on that account; ;
in fact, in his statewide speaking
tour he pledged support to Presi-
dent Harding.
The Indiana contest was nothing
more or less than a rivalry between
two men actuated by the same
political principles. There was no
split in the Republican ranks-no
faction of the party supporting one
candidate and opposing the other
President Harding kept scrupulously
out of the contest, we'll knowing
that both men were his friends, and
that either one in the Senate would
do his utmost to make the Republi-
can administration a success. Mr..
Beverage served twelve years in
the Senate, and Mr.. New has been
in that body six years. Both men
have been prominently before the
people of Indiana for many years
A majority of the Republican voters
gave their support to Mr.. Beveridge
not as rebuke to Senator New
but percisely as they would make a
shoiNS DStWSSi any CWo men dCIu-
ated by the same motives and
guided by the same political doc
trines.
Only the twist of a Democratic
imagination could see in the out
come of the Indiana primaries a
slap at the Harding administration
1t is the same type of mind that re-
fuses to credit the Republicans with
tax reductions actually made, with
any substantial economies when re-
trenchments of billions can be
proved, or with any step toward
normally when everybody knows
Liberty Bonds are back to par, liv-
ing costs are way down, and the
outlook for business is of the
brightest. The truth is that the
Democratic campaign chest is as
barren of issues as it is of funds,
and the leaders of the party are
resorting to all sorts of trumped up
expedients to cast suspicion on the
Republican administration. They
are vainly hoping that one of their
false connections will appear plausi-
bic enough to catch the public at
tention and win a few votes in No
vember.

THE PARADE

heartily of healthy food and slept
so soundly on the old straw mat
tress? Is it that boys fault or the
fault of the irritable man you have
made out of that boy, that indlges-
ton now torments you and insom-
MIA keeps you figuring in the wee
small hours of the night? What
became of that barefooted boy,
anyway, and whose fault was 1t!
The Class of ~
Commencement time.
What would you not give to be a
member of the graduating class OF
1922 and stand once more with
those graduates, the clean, I'M
soiled pages of your life lying
white before you?
The poet truly has said; "Of all
sad words of tongue or pen, the
saddest are these: it might have
BEEN"
There is no use in recalling the
old class motto: "The mill will
never grind with water that is
past" still, a fellow, and a lass, too,
for that matter, who graduated
long ago, cannot help kicking him
self, sometimes, for the blunders he
has made.
But what right have we has
beens to butt in, anyway? This
season belongs to the class of 1922.
The young gentlemen and ladies
who stand today in all the beauty
of their youth are having their
commencement and they are en-
titled to the spot light and the cen
ter of the stage. We do not envy
them, for we know the pathway
ahead is strewn with heartaches
and bitter disappointments.
This is their day. The flowers
never were quite SO fair. 1t is one
of their big, happy days. The next
will be the wedding day. The really
glorious days of life are few; and
some of us never realize them.
So, children, throw back your
heads and get the most out of your
commencement night. We all bow
in homage to the sweet girl gradu-
ate and admire the boy who lays
aside his books to wrestle with the
grim problems of life. 1t is your
day and we rejoice that you are SC
happy. But when you lay aside
your books, and realize that you
never again will respond to the call
of the old school bell, just remem-
Der that you will get more practical
knowledge after you leave the
schoolroom than you ever found in
all our books from the primer to as
tronomy.
Truly, this is but the commence
ment of life.
