street peddlers were forbidden to sell

FARME rs MUST Be !.
AIDED OUT OF RUT'
University Extension Division Chief
Thus Gave His Opinion at
c. of c. Luncheon Ycster-
day With Statistics

The chamber of commerc lunch
con yesterday proved to be a very
interesting affair and instructive to
the point of actual enjoyment. A i
fair size crowd listened to Cecil W.
Creel, head of the state university
extension work in this state, re-
count farming needs and farming
accomplishment and tell of the
vicissitudes through which the farm
er is passing at the present time
as a result of an unheard of de-
probation in the value of his sea-
sonal crop production. The harvest
largess has not diminished since
effort was stimulated throughout
the world war period, but sudden
drops in the selling prices that af-
feet the farmer have brought him to
the verge of bankruptcy and made
his calling one to be Stunned. The
condition is one of imminent dam
ger to the existence of the nation,
thinks Mr. Creel, and a general
prosperity throughout the nations
marts cannot be expected in reason
until the farmer has been given
proper recognition. Among other
things Mr.. Creel said:
"The country's aristocracy was
founded on the soil during the
colonial days, through the revolu-
tionary war period and right up to
the time of the civil war. It was
the farmer, speaking broadly, who
devised and signed the declaration
of independence and carried the
Union through the early days of
national inception. The civil war
introduced new epoch, when
money needs were great, just as
they are great today, and New York
City merchants abandoned their
store establishments and acquired
quick fortunes through rediscount-
ing commercial paper. The profits
were more certain than those that
attended the selling of merchandise
and a quick transition of business
conditions occurred. The country's
vast landed resources were seized
upon and railroad transportation
was brought to its highest stage of
efficiency with the result that the
production of the farm formed
glut in the markets. What had
been proud position dropped
rapidly until farmer" came to be
a term that carried approbrium.
The world war needs compelled
new recognition for the farmer and
his start toward new place in the
social and business scheme was
auspicious only to be annulled

SAYS UNCLE SAM
WILL DIsAPPR0VE.
State Engineer Visits This City
and Emphasizes the Urgency of
Selecting Proper Route for
The Victory Highway

Because two underground rail
road crossings would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 each, H.
F. Holley, engineer of surveys and
designs for the state highway de-
partment, comforting with the MEM
bers of Ninnemueca's city council
Tuesday night, declared to the local
authorities that the federal authori-
ties would probably select the most
economical and logical route
through this community. His re-
marks were taken to indicate that
the Second stress project, put for
ward SO earnestly by certain Of the
local business interests, will not be
considered even briefly.
His visit also clarified the local
situation to the extent that the
Sixth street project has been elimi-
mated also. Contrary to general
belief the Third street project is
about 1000 feet shorter than the
project south Of the railroad track,
although the last named scheme
would not require railroad cross
ings in this vicinity. If the business
district is trayersed it will probably
be along Third street from end to
end of this city, the slightly
shorter route presented being an
argument against which the expense
that would attend the construction
of railroad crossings must be
weighed.

FAMOUS MUSICIANS TO BE
HERE TOMORROW NIGHT

Enroute to Graumen's million dol
lar theatre in Los Angeles, the
Browns Saxaphone Six, making
their first Independent tour are to
stop in Winnemucea tomorrow
night Friday. The same can be
said of Browns Saxaphone Six as
was said of the "Robin Hood" COM
pany-there is no better musical
act of its kind on the road today in
America. Not only are the Browns
peers of jazz but they render
sweet and higher class music as
well in their entertainments. Then
for real clean comedy comes the
famous Billy Markwith who create
a laugh with every move he makes.
1t is safe to say that Browns
Saxaphone Six are by far the finest
musical act that has been in
Winnemucca for the past six years.
To accommodate all the public, ar
rangements have been made to have
two shows at the American Friday
night. The first show starts
promptly at 7:3O and the second
show at o'clock.

LAST BIC WOOL
SALE YESTERDAY
First National Bank Disposed of
10000 Fleeces for Humboldt
County Growers at Best
Prices of the Season

The First National bank, of this
city, was the intermediary in a wool
sale that was concluded yesterday
in which six Humboldt county
growers sold 10000 feeces to Oel-
richs & Company, of Boston, Mass,
for a reported price of thirty-one
and one-half cents per pound. J. j.
Goode represents the buyers in this
territory. The feeces will average,
it is asserted, about seven and one
half pounds each.
The price paid in this instance is
the highest figuring in wool sale
in this county this year and indi-
Gates a decided upward trend of
the eastern wool market.
With the exception of a few
scattering instances all Humboldt
county wool clips have been dis
posed of for this season.
Wool deliveries will start in this
vicinity early next month and the
sums that will be disbursed on ac-
count of this form of activity will
add very materially to the pros
perity of the county.
The upward movement in lamb
sales has been quite active during
late days and indications of the
present are welcomed in northern
Nevada sheep circles.
