RESIGNATION
OF GEO. WINCFlELD

The following resolution was
adopted by the Republican county
convention for Churchill county held
in Fallon:
Whereas, it is reported in the
public press that Mr.. George Wing
field, the national Republican COM
mitteeman from Nevada, has ten
dered his resignation as such due to
i'll health; and whereas, Mr.. Wing
field has, during his entire political
life, been staunch and stalwart
Republican and an active and
valued worker in the party, and the
loss of his services in behalf of the
state of Nevada in connection with
the work of the national Republican
committee will be keenly felt and
is greatly to be deplored, now
therefore:
"Be it resolved that the Republi-
cans of Churchill county duly as
sembled in convention this 18th day
of June, 1922, do hereby express
to Mr.. Wingfeld their profound
sympathy for the indisposition which
has caused him to tender his resig-
nation as aforesaid coupled with
the hope that his state of health
may be so improved in the near
future that he may see fit to re-
consider and withdraw his said
resignation, and be it further re-
solved that we do hereby acknowl-
edge our appreciation for his long,
loyal, active and invaluable services
rendered to the Republican party
of the state and nation"

DOESN'T LIKE
PRIMARIES.

;. 1t will thus be seen that
the duties of the county convention
are but nominal, to say the least,
and the purpose for which they
were called in the act is not so ap-
parent as to become important. 1t
would appear that the only theory
of the drafter of the bill conferred
about an attempt to give the peo-
pie a voice in the drafting of a
platform and in the formation of
county and state central committees,
thereby stimulating the activities of
the parties in the work of electing
their representatives as well as
naming the successful candidates at
the general election. For the pur-
pose of reviving the old political
spirit rampant during the conven-
ton days the act may be of some
value but as a definite assistant in
working out the problems of the
primary we can see no accomplish
ment whatever. The conventions
have no authority whatever to name
candidates for the primaries or to
influence one way or the other the
candidates. of any persons for any
office. In this respect many dele
gates who came here to attend the
conventions will be disappointed for
many of them came with the idea
that upon them was placed the
burden of selecting the party candi-
dates who were to carry the stan
dard at the general election. In
this respect the county convention
has created only an additional ex-
pense, borne in this case by the in
dividual delegates themselves, and
has accomplished nothing toward

that he was young dog and might be

THEY
say

SA1-
"They say" is the introduction to
an awful lot of harm. We often
hear the 'they say stories on the
streets or in the stores of Winnie
mucca and always, if we will pause
and think a moment, the one telling
the "they say story never tells it
about member of their own fam
lily. Telling this kind of story is an
idle pastime with some people. They
may not mean any harm-and yet
they say has done more to black
en- character and sadden hearts than
any other one thing. The victim
has no opportunity to combat e
they say" story, even if it should
as it seldom does, come to his ears.
The story starts on no more author
ity than "they say" and with each
telling it grows and magnifies.
Pretty soon it is common talk, and
each time it is repeated you will
hear that damnable "they say"
quoted as authority There appears
no way to break up this miserable
thing. We wish we knew a way.
But the columns of this paper are
open to you, and if you have a sug-
gestion for stopping the "they say"
stories, write it out and send it in

PERSHlNC
is RIGHT

General Pershing declares that
had this country been adequately
prepared there is little question
that the United States under strong
leadership could have prevented the
world war altogether" 1t is a
strong statement, but when we re-
member Mr.. Wilson's vacillations to-
wards Mexico, his pacffist attitude,
and our general unpreparedness,
there is no wonder that the kaiser
thought this country would never go
to war and that he could proceed
accordingly.

THE PRIMARY
SYSTEM

Two county conventions were
held in Reno this morning. Each
was attended by thirty or forty dele
gates, elected from the various pre-
cincts few days ago, or else APP
pointed by the retiring county COM
mittee. In perfunctory fashion
they created new county commit
tees, elected delegates to the two
state conventions, and thereupon
adjourned.
There was no discussion of public
matters. Mutual counsel among the
attending persons concerning the af-
fairs of the county and the state
was not held. The advisability of
making changes in official admins
tration was not mentioned. The i'm
portance of enacting or repeating
certain laws, the expenditure of
public funds and similar matters
that should interest taxpayers and
citizens were not referred to. The
delegates perfunctorily attended, per-
functorily elected certain other dele
gates and committeeman as pre-
scribed by law, and as perfunctorily
adjourned.
In all probability, when the two
state conventions are held, the per-
Torrance will be just as non-con-
structive.
This is the result of the primary
system, meritofious in many re
spects, but wholly destructive of
the good results that did spring
from the nominating conventions,
where taxpayers and citizens gath
cred to voice their opinions, ap-
prevail of, or protests against GER
tain laws, persons or procedures.
The nominating convention did, at
least, bring the citizenry of the
township and the county together
for counsel and conference. The
primary ended this, and it is re
grettable that it has offered nothing
of similar value to take it's place.
True enough, the entire elector
ate is now enabled to vote for the
various party candidates, but they
are never gathered together in
groups to either develop or suggest
these candidates, nor to discuss
among themselves the condition OF
public affairs. The primary has
taken us away, in important re-
spects, from the principle of repre-
sentative government, and while it
may have helped to break up ina
chine" government, it is question
able whether it improved the situa-
ton generally.
And isn't it quite probable that
machine government destroyed itself
anyway, and that it would have fall
en- even if the primary system had
not been introduced?
SO far as local affairs are con-
cerned the primary system seems to
make little difference. 1t cannot
be said to have improved the char
acter of state government or state
officials in Nevada. 1t is the opin-
ion Of thoughtful persons that it
would be a colossal mistake to ap-
ply it to presidential nominations as
has been proposed.-Reno Gazette.

lubricating the machinery of the

law still stands, in all its cumber-
some details, not at all improved,
and still considered by the mass of
the people as an expensive and
useless procedure.-Elko Indepen-

Suggestions for Judging Butter.

The butter exhibited at many of
the fairs is really work of art and
should be included in such collections
rather than in the butter exhibit.
The pineapple shaped entries and that
moulded in the form of ducks, etc,
deserve to be classed in the decora-
tive art department, for too often the
quality of the butter is sacrificed to
the design. Butter made for eating
purposes does not gain in quality by
the additional handling necessary for
forming it into fantastic shapes. The
package should be neat, clean and at
tractive and the butter well protect
ed by being securely wrapped in good
grade of parchment paper. The shape
should be such as to allow it to be
well wrapped. The quality of the
paper is very important because a
poor grade is sure to be torn and
worn off by much handling. Good
butter should be especially well pack
ed. Butter of such quality as to be
fit for soap grease only may be pack
ed anyway-it doesn't matter if it is
exposed to dust and flies.
The main points to take into ac-
count in Judging are flavor and body.
These are by far the most important.
The flavor should be rich, sweet,
clean, fine, mildly acid and the aroma
should be pleasing. It should have
no foreign odors or flavors. 1t should
not taste cowy, cheesy, milky, curdy,
rancid, unclean nor highly acid.
Body or texture should be good.
If the grain is good the butter will
break like a piece of metal-not
smooth. It should not contain too
much moisture, nor should the brine
be milky, and it should be free from
curd. 1t should be waxy and not
greasy in appearance.
Color and salt should also be taken
into account. The color most deSira
BILE is that of June butter, 1t may
vary from very light to a medium
straw color or that produced by nat.
ural grass. 1t should not be streak
ed or mottled. The salt should be
we'll dissolved and just enough to
bring out the highest flavor.
The following score card will be-
helpful in arriving at definite scores:

SECOND PAYMENT FOR EAST
ERN NORTH CAROLINA.
Planned to Get Money to Tobacco
Growers Before
Christmas.

! With a second payment to members
completed in the South Carolina belt
and arrangements being made for
second payment in Eastern North
Carolina early in December on all
tobacco delivered before December
first, the Tobacco Growers Coopera-
tive association is expecting to large
ly increase its membership in these
belts before the season is over. With
out any special effort on the part Of
the association new contracts are
reaching Raleigh daily from mer
"who waited to ees' and are again
thoroughly disgusted with the auc
tien system.
Insistent demands for legal action
against contract violators continue
to reach Raleigh headquarters, eS-
pecialy from local units of the asSo-
citation. In response to this demand
the legal department last week filed
54 more suits against members in q
counties of North Carolina involving
damages of more than $4,000. Some
of the first suits filed have been set
tied out of court while other men are
making settlements without waiting
to be hailed into court.
Arrangements have been made to
have warehousemen receive money
for damages and forward it to Raleigh
where the legal department will de
cide whether to accept or reject such
settlements. Each case is being con-
sidered on its merits and, while the
attorneys are accepting number of
such proffered settlements, they state
that in other cases they are rejecting
offers to settle where the interests
of the association show that law
suit would be better policy.

new METHOD OF
WEEVIL CONTROL
SAYS NEW METHOD ASSURES so
PER CENT. OF NORMAL COT
TON CROP.

Bulletins were being sent out last
week by the state plant board OF
Florida detailing at length the ''im-
proved method of controlling the boil
weevil" as envolved by Dr.. George
D. Smith. assistant entomologiSt OF
the board, and made public by Dr..
Newell, director.
While expressing confidence that
Florida growers of upland cotton by
following the new method are asSur-
ed Of at least 80 per cent. of a nor
NAL crop. DR.. Newell points out at
the outset that Or. Smiths expert
ments were made under Florida con-
ditions, and the method evolved is
adapted to this state, but there seems
to be no reason "on theoretical
grounds at least" why the method
cannot successfully. be adapted to all
sections of the cotton belt.
The substance of DR.. Smiths plan
is to clear the field of weevil infesta-
tion early in June and then give the
staple free growth until August when
the annual> migration of the weevl!
sets in. The staple has grown,
however, to such an. extent by this
time, that harm from the weevil then
is inconsequential.
In this state, the bulletin points
out, the crop is usually "made" by
August Is.
DIR. Smith recognized in the be-
ginning of his experiments that the
boil weevil could be effectively pois-
oned before it reached the Squares"
or over bracts of the plant. His
investigation therefore had to do
with ridding the plant of the last
over-wintering weevils which appear
later and deposit their eggs on the
squares.
The plan evolved meets this OBJ
stacle by the simple process OF re-
moving the early squares and then
thoroughly disinfecting the boil it
self with poison. His experiments
disproved the belief that removal of
the early squares would lower the
cotton yield.
"In this state, the bulletin contin-
ues, by removing the squares early in
June and clearing the boil, the plant
then has almost as long period in
which to set fruit as it enjoyed in a
normal season prior to the coming
of the weevil."
"At first thought" the bulletin con-
tinues, "it may appear that con-
siderable amount of cotton would be
destroyed or lost by removal of the
first squares, say, an average OF
about two large squares to the plant
throughout the field. 1t has been
demonstrated that the cotton plants
normally sheds about 60 per cent. OF
its fruit during the growing season.
Therefore loss of two squares to
the plant, on the average, should not
affect the yield"
Nothing that the planter has at
tached great Importance to these
first squares, considering them the
substance of his early cotton crop,
the bulletin says:
Removal of the early squares in
our experiments was followed by a
remarkable reaction on the part of
the plant itself. In all cases, re-
moval of the squares was followed
by a rapid increase in the height of
the plants and this was closely fol-
lowed by a profuse development of
new squares. So pronounced has
been this acceleration, or stimulation,
or fruiting, that it seems highly
probable that, even with no weevils
early in June would actually result
in increasing the yield of cotton"

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkali, which is very
iniuric1s, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Muisified CO.
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaseIess. It's very cheap and
beaes anything else all to pieces. You
can get Mulsified at any drug store, and
few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi-
fed in cup or glass with a little
warm water is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright. fluffy, wavy and easy TO handle,
Besides, it loosens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff Be
sure your druggist gives you Mulsi-
