George Winefield
Here on Business Trip

President George Wingfield of the
Churchill County Bank, as we'll as
president of the string of Wingfield
banks throughout the state, spent
few days in town last week on busi-
ness matters. This was his first visit
here for quite a long time.
Mr.. Wingfield returned couple of
weeks ago from trip throughout
the east and states that times are
looking better, but that retailers are
going slow and manufacturers are
only putting out enough to supply
immediate demands. Otherwise, bus
mess is looking good, he states.
Mr.. Wingfield states that times are
looking pretty good in Nevada. While
he did not make any comment on his
own affairs, 1t is evident that he
looks very hopefully on the future
of this state from the fact that this
week he met the architects in Reno
TO consider plans for the new addi-
ton to the Hotel Golden, of which
he is owner. Mr.. Wingfield is also
heavily interested in the big hotel
that is soon to be erected at Winnie
mucca.

again observe Memorial Day. This
day is not limited in its observance
to the heroes of the Civil War. Since
the time it was legally established
other crimson pages and rolls Of
honor have been added to our his
tory. Other events and records OF
sacrifice have been registered in the
annals of our past since the brave
men, under Lincoln's instruction,
went down In death for the free
dom of man. The names of heroes
who we're in our war with Spain
have been written In the scroll
which never can be changed. More
recent still are the chiyalrous ac-
tions and gallant deeds of those
whose lives and sufferings meant
defeat to Prussionism, and victory
to the nations of the earth who
longed for deliyerance. Scarcely
are we a sufficient distance past the
conflict for their graves TO be green
Wounds in our hearts still are open
and bleeding because voice is miss
ed never to be heard again, and a
place Is vacant never more to be
nlled
Now is the time for gratitude to
the courageous men whose yalor
gave us the victory. Now Is the
time to remember the unparalleled
devotion OF the women. Now is the
time to give cheer TO the suffering
heroes confined In hospitals. Let us
think of the noble sacrifice made by
the hero dead, of the brilliant rec
ord of duty we'll performed on the
field of battle by the wounded, Of
the spirit of patriotism and bravery
shown by those who fortunately es-
capped shot and shell.
The local Post of the American
Legion will have charge of the ar
