Clearing House Methods

Starting with the first of the year,
ninety out of 275 Clearing House AS
socations throughout tn. country
adopted new method of COMPILING
clearance figures, designed to elimi-
nate duplication in counting checks
and to provide n more accurate barom-
eter of business activity. The records
will now be kept so that the same
check may not be listed twice, as when
it was cashed by an individual at a
bank and then presented by that bank
for payment by the institution against
whom it was drawn. Smaller totals
will undoubtedly result, but they will
have greater Significance.

ing Of the stocks. the common broke to

selling down to II " and the second to
IN. Closing quotations were little
above the lowest. One had to 90 back
as far as 1877 to find n quotation that
was equal to yesterdays low on the
common, but this was the stock Of the

lower, the general IA declining from

 With the revolution of Luther the Germans began contributing to the church musical treasure and congre- gational singing became more popu- lar. Germans have often criticized English hymns as being too spritely and to show the difference between the church music of the two nations, three German and three English hymns were sung by the United choirs of the United Congregational and Presbyterian churches under the di- rection of Clayton P. Stevens, organ ist at the Presbyterian church. Peace I Leave With You,' an Eng fish hymn by J. Varley Roberts was sung by Arthur Levasseur and was thoroughly enjoyable.
 The last inheritance from Afro America was briefly discussed by Rev. SilcoX and Mrs. Florence Leger Hayes sang two songs in negro dialect, writ ten by H. T. Burleigh.
 Rev. MT. Silcox is deserving of high praise for his Splendid lecture and it is possible that if more addresses of this kind were given, the public would have a finer appreciation of this won- derfuI form of music and praise.

WEATHER is WARM AS
RESULT OF STORM AREA

The lowest temperature recorded
during last night was "a above zero
and the change has brought a well
come surcease from the. painful,
penetrating cold that has been in
vogue here for a number of days.
The highest temperature yesterday
was 30 above, although early this
morning the mercury crept up to
81. The mean yesterday was 10
above zero and the normal mean
for the date is 20 above.
The prevailing wind direction to-
day is southwest and the forecast
by Weather Observer Ray Fisher is
rain or snow tonight and tomorrow.
Mr.. Fisher also states that a re-
version to the cold of short time
back is certain when the "old set
tier" high pressure condition in
meteorology returns at the conclu-
sion of the present storm period,
which is bringing fitful precipitation
that comes after the manner one
would expect in March.

the Prosecution of Liquor
Cases Arising Within
This City

The city council met last evening
in mid-month session and decided
projected matters, giving them a
defniteness that denotes in no un-
certain manner the policies which
are in effect in this city. The coun-
cilmen and mayor outlined a plan
for the vigorous prosecution of Of
tenders against the prohibition laws
of the state and will employ attor-
neys to assist District Attorney L.
G. Wilson in the seeking of convic-
tions in bootlegging cases arising
within this city's corporate limits.
It is given out that this move is
made with the full sanction of Mr..
Wilson. Pending cases that will be
affected by this decision concern
R. L. Richards, E. B. Pipes, F. M.
Williams and R. ]. Eckloff.
The council revoked for a period
of ten days the gambling licenses
previously issued in favor Of F. M.
Williams. This action was taken
upon a showing made that Mr.. Will
liams recently indulged in an alter
cation following a card game in his
place.
A soft-drink license was issued in
favor of Arthur English, condi-
toned upon non-participation by
five well-known Winnemucca men
in any form of activity connected
with the Smoke House, where Eng
lish proposes to hold forth in the
future. Should any of the quintet
violate the order issued by the
council the license authorized last
night will be revoked, according to

by societies, school teachers, farm

Seeds are now ready. They are

WINNEMUCCA DRUGGIST
BRINGS CHEEKY WORD

John Fraser of the Stephenson
Drug Company returned today after
spending the holidays with relatives
in Detroit, Mich. He brings the
cheering word that industrial con-
ditions are on the upgrade in the
automobile manufacturing centers,
although there is still much room
for Improvement, he believes. In
tens of thousands of instances De-
troit laboring men who are heads
of families went into the present
winter after a season in which they
had probably three months work, in
an average sense, and as a result
all forms Of retail trade suffered
along with the population more di-
rectly affected. Mr.. Fraser said:
my observations while away
taught me that the conditions of the
present are due very largely to the
effort of the employers of men to
restore the efficiency of the work.
ing unit. At Gary, Ind, one of the
great industrial centers, l discussed
conditions with others and was in
formed that more units of machin-
cry are being set to work daily, but
working forces are not being in
creased. The movement seems to
me to be aimed at correction of
wartime waste in both human en-
ergy and the materials entering into
manufactured production, and when
this waste has been remedied to the
point where it is safe for the in
dustry of this country to proceed
the much desired normal way of
doing things will be restored"

Mr.. Sheehan said this afternoon: |:
Although the past season has been
characterized by business depression
in countrywide sense, the period
brought a very satisfactory volume
of business to the First National
bank. This bank has been enabled,
through conservative business meth
DDS and the continued trust Of the
people of its territory, to carry ON
activities considerably broader than
might be expected. I am very
earnest in the belief that northern
Nevada is well along on the upgrade
and that it is now but a question Of
months when business of all kinds
within this territory will be satisfac-
tory to everyone who is actively en-
gagged in commercial pursuits"
