The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-01-04
BIGGER & BETTER
POLICY PURSUED
This Issue of The Silver State L.
First on Weekly Plan, With
Many Special Features and
More to Be Added Later

The Silver State calls attention to
some of the valuable features that
are Incorporated in this, the first
weekly edition. 1t will be readily
seen that the announced policy of
always "bigger and better" is be-
ing followed out, even though in
the pursuance of that policy it was
necessary to cut down the number
of publications from three a week to
one each week.
First and foremost, of course, is
local news. We believe that by
publishing once week more local
news can be provided than in three
issues every other day combined.
This is because much time is saved
by the more infrequent publication
that was formerly used in purely
mechanical work that reflected no
good in the newspaper, so far as
the readers viewpoint was con-
cerned. Now this time may be
used to prepare accounts of local
happenings. We will not say that
this issue is up to the standard set
for The Silver State, for the reason
that the change in publication plans
occasioned much unusual work, as
for instance the resetting of all
advertisements, which required time
Also, the weekly plan is new to
the office force and will require
little time to work down to a
science, with a time set for each
operation.
As to the editorial policy and
quality we will of course leave
this to the personal opinions of
readers as to whether they are good
or bad, but we will say that the
new weekly policy provides more
time for this work and will permit
of more careful preparation than
has been the rule. We of course
hope to improve at all times.
New Society Column
A new department will be found
in the society column. Under the
tri-weekly plan it was found next
to impossible to work up a society
column that was worthy of the
name, for the reason that social
happenings are so few and far be-
tween as to not provide sufficient
material upon which to work. This
department will require time to de-
velop to its fullest value, but present
plans contemplate employment Of a
woman reporter for this and other
duties, and in the end we are sure
the column will prove one Of the
most interesting in the whole paper,
particularly to women readers. We
respectfully request that all read
ers assist in this aim by promptly
notifying The Silver State either
by writing, personal visits or by
phone, No. 21, of all social happen
ings, whether of great Importance
or merely a house visitor or dinner
party.
Another new department will be n
resume of editorial expressions OF
editors in all cities in the state, cal
culated to show the trend of public
opinion as reflected in the press.
These will be found interesting and
instructive, whether we may agree
or not.
Country Correspondence
The correspondence from outside
points in this county is somewhat
abbreviated this week, probably be
cause of the fact that correspond
ents have not yet grasped the new
rule of things. At any rate, it il
the ambition of The Silver State
to devote a page to news of out
side places, with correspondents
in every community where persons
