A Pool In Silver !.

1t is proposed that the producers of sill
yer in our country form an export asso-
citation to dispose of silver to the best adj
vantage, if this does not interfere with the
Anticipated Sherman antitrust law that
was hailed twenty years ago as wonder
full advance and which is now being set
aside as an economic interference.
This matter was discussed at a confer
ence called at Reno, held under the aus
pices of a United States Senate commits
sion created year ago to consider broad
ly the silver situation as it affects the pro-
ducer.
In one respect, at any rate, silver is
like wheat. The nation which produces the
bulk of the grain and the bulk Of the metal
is not in position to dictate prices.
This country, Mexico and Canada are
the principal silver producers and while
they use large quantity of it in coinage,
industry and the arts, the amount left over
is what makes the market price and that
price is fixed abroad. Those who should
know something about the business say
that London firm sets the price for all the
world by reason of its command of the
Oriental markets-The Manufacturer.

One of the distinguished Britons who
frequent our shores returned to his own
country and recorded his impressions.
Among other comments he said, "The
standard of living of the working man is
three times, certainly twice, as high as
here Where man uses a bicycle here an
American uses motor car.
Here is food for thought for those who
urge the abolition of the protective tariff,
and also for those radicals among us who
are working for the destruction of Ameri-
can institutions. Not long ago some miners
in the Middle West went on strike because
the mine management refused them park
ing space for their cars in the spot where
they had been accustomed to leave them.
Quite likely those men are among the
thousands who are loud in their critism
|of government as they find it in the Unite
States. They never stop to think that if
they lived in Great Britain they would do
we'll if they could afford bicycle.
The Republican party bases its argu-
|ment for a protective tariff on the nee
for maitaining the American standard of
living free from the competition of cheap
foreign labor that seeks to drag it down
to the Old World standard. The Demo-
Gratis are for admitting the products of
that cheap labor into this country practic-
ally free of duty. The inevitable resul
of such policy, demonstrated many times
in the past is to close American factories,
throw their employees out of work, estab-
lish bread lines to keep them from starva-
toin, and perhaps give them employment
later only at wages near the European
level

More Capitalization

Several organizations have pledged
their support to the proposed child labor
amendment to the Constitution. It ap-
pears to be the tendency among many
people to look at the proposition solely
from the standpoint of child welfare, ap-
parently quite oblivious to the fact that
each state now has the right to regulate
child labor within its borders precisely as
it may wish. The proposed amendment is
purely scheme to take from the states
rights which they now possess and lodge
them in the Federal Government. It tends
to upset the nice balance between state
and Federal authority fixed by the Consti-
tuition, without contributing anything to
the cause to which it is dedicated. With a
Federal child labor law on the statute
books, the responsibility of states to look
after the welfare of their own children
would dwindle, and the National Govern
ment would be expected to look after the
whole matter through another huge bureau
filled with expensive officials and clerks.
The country would benefit if it were
now astuated by the sentiments that in
spired the Bill of Rights in the Constitu
ton. The Constitution would never have
been ratified if the states had not been as
sured that the First Congress would pro
pose amendments safeguarding individual
and state rights. In conformity with thai
understanding 1.-The first ten amendments
were adopted, but the present day ten.

ausly guarded by our forefathers

A Homely Editorial

Under the heading "a Barber, Banker
and Circus SPIEL" H. Roy Allen editor
of the Cape Vincent IN. " Eagle, carried
the following homely little editorial that
ought to have had fine effect upon his
readers and advertisers. 1t was as fol-
lows:
go to the circus?" asked the cashier of
the Bank of Fentonville as he dropped
back in the BARRIERS chair for his Satur-
day afternoon shave.
s'Yeah; l went little while last night
after closed up. Some circus"
"Some circus is right" said the bank
err, land it was some advertising stunt we
pulled. You saw our big sign and heard
the ringmaster tell about our bank, didn't
your"
"Yeah; l saw the sign and heard the
spiel. Wouldn't have thought Of it again,
though, if you hadn't mentioned il"
pretty clever stunt we call it" was the
bankers reply.
yeah; clever for the announcer and
sign-painter. What did it cost you?" the
barber asked sharply.
The question popped out so unexpected
" that for once the banker told the bank
business and admitted proudly that the ex-
pense had been SIP.
"Say you! Listen to me-" bawled the
barber, as he swung his lather brush across
his patrons face and shut off anything he
might have said further. "That guy paid
SIP for the sign and got hundred for
shouting three minutes day. He does
that six days a week, because he finds one
in every town. In the season he makes
more than your bank does. You call that
advertising? You got an idea folks at the
circus bring any money to your bank be-
cause of spiel at three-ring circus?
Nothin' to it! They were laughing at
clowns OF getting nervous about the lions
If you want to do some advertising, you
take your SIP and pay the editor of the
Bugle So week as long as the money
lasts Your ads in the paper will tell all
of those people about your bank every
time they look it over, something different
every week. 1t won't go in one ear and
out of the other"
The barber was quiet for almost a
minute. The banker was quiet, too. He
was thinking. The barber had told him
something.
Then from the barber, rather gently,
did that fellow deposit the SIP in your
bank? No? Well, when ever you pay the
editors bills he puts the money right back
in circulation here.
"Razor hurt? No? thought you kinda
scringed little"

Majority For 1t

Party lines are likely to be swept aside
in the Senate in support of Secretary Mel
Ions tax reduction plan. Conservative
Democrats are publicly announcing their
approval of the program, and their stand
is being edorsed by editors and business
men of their communities. The radical
element in both parties, which seeks to
curry favor through an appeal to class
prejudice will endeavor to amend the
Mellon schedule to suit their own ends,
but it is believed there will be enough in
telligent opposition to defeat their designs.

show editors how it ought to be run and
got out one issue. Then he closed his
shop for 20 years. Then he got out an
other issue. At the head of his editoria
column he had this statement, "Since our
last issue nothing of Importance has hap
pened."

Tells Need OF
PotatoCulture
B. H Grubb Demon
strates Necessity of
Clean Seed and
Fertile Soil

During last week Mr.. Eugene H.
Grubb, one of the autohrities on DO
tato growing, and who is demon
strating and lecturing for the South
ern Pacific, visited this valley, main
ly to talk over with the farmers the
future of potatoes and the approved
methods of growing for market.
Mr.. Grubb, who has made potato
culture study, held several demon
strations; one at the Swingle home
stead and another at the Getto ranch
near Fallon. In both instances he
illustrated the necessity of securing
disease free seed for planting and ad-
vised as to the means of culture.
1t Is his contention that owing to
the warmth of soil in this valley,
seed potatoes do not show the vigor
that is necessary for vigorous
growth. Soil fertility is of vast i'm
portance and in some instances COM
mercial fertilizers should be employ
ed. Whole seed should be planted Is
his advice, and he illustrated the
method by showing samples of tubers
produced by this method.
In the selection of seed he advised
that grown outside of the state, pre-
ferably from the high mountain sec
tions of Idaho and Montana in dis
ease free sections. In his demonstra-
tion he turned down much seed that
was being held for planting In this
valley, advising selling the same or
1lo
free seed from proven sections.
For fast money he urges the cult
walton of early sown early maturing
potatoes and getting them on the
market. Take a chance on frosts, as
one freezing will not destroy the tu-
bers. 1t is the early potatoes that
bring the fancy price. and with some
frost protection a profitable crop is
obtainable. In this connection he
stated:
BY growing early potatoes after
the European methods, we can reap
financial reward There they plant
rotation crops Immediately after the
potatoes are taken off, sometimes be-
fore. The hay or grass is taken off
as crop, or used as green manure
cover crop and plowed under or graz
ed off; lambs and sheep being the
best for this. The cover crop (both
vine and root should be thoroughly
disced and cut up and incorporated
in the soil before plowing. In this
way there are no large masses of the
cover crop to develop unfavorable
fungi and diseases. The thorough
discing makes the soil mellow and
full of decayed and decayfng vege-
table matter, rendering an abun-
dance of plant food available for the
potato plant early in the season.
Thus the soil fertility is maintained
and disease kept in check and pota-
toes planted year after year"

Ready To Go
After open discussion lasting for
two hours it was the decision that
the organization was ready to move,
and that the Lahontan Valley should
be taken care of through the district
agents and the matter fully explained
to the farm centers. Another meet
ing is to be held in Fernley on the
10th of June, when it is expected
that hay and potato growers from
this valley, Mason Valley, Lovelock

will be present At that time it is
probable that minimum prices can be
fixed and a state wide movement be
inaugurated that will result in bet

that the proposed cooperation

Mr.. Swingle was convinced that it
was the only way to standardize
prices for products and believed that
the movement would be beneficial
and urged organization.

Idaho Grain Merchant
Visits The Projec,
Sees Better Conditions Ahead For
Grain Grower Project Shows
Gain Over Other Sections

Last week Mr.. j. Rallison, of Pres
ton, Idaho, paid business visit to
this city and the project. Mr. Ralli-
son is manager of the Preston Milling
Company and considerable of the
goods manufactured in the flour mill
finds its way to Fallon. In speaking
of the conditions he found he stated !.
Each time l come to Fallon I
find expansion in some way This
time il is noted that the dairy busi-
ness shows a marked increase, as on
many farms where in former visits |
did not see many milk cows they are
now in evidence. The getting back to
the dairy business is one of the safest
farm plans that I know of. The his
tory of practically every dairy section
is success and with your close coast
market it is not going to fail

failed, many of them leaving the sec
ton. This cause arises from a con-
dition that you do not have here. A
great deal of the grain land of Idaho
is dry farming land. being plowed in
the fall and planted. AS there was
very little fall plowing there is going
to be a proportionate cut in the pro-
duetion of wheat and other grains
that the miller is looking for. We
will not be short, as there are other
sections to draw from, but the gen
eral production shows a decline over
the whole United States.
Il have advised planting grain
where possible and believe that there
are sections in this valley adapted to
