Cottonwood Flour Averages High

! To give our readers an idea of
how Cottonwood -four ranks with
other flour manufactured in north
Idaho we quote the following
from a letter received by the
local mill from the chemistry de-
partment of the state university
at Moscow. The sample sent fer
testing was taken from a sack of
flour returned by a complaining
patron.
Moscow, Idaho, May %, 1911.
Mr.. j. Meyer, Cottonwood, Ida.
Dear Sir:
The flour you sent us
early in April has been analysed
w il h the following results:
Moisture, 9.2 per cent, ash, AS
per cent, nitrogen LAT per cent
and gluten (wet) 28.5 per cent.
i find that straight -four from
north Idaho wheats will average
about 1.5 per cent nitrogen and
about % per cent gluten. The
flour you sent is therefore pretty
close to an average of the best
that can be gotten from north
Idaho wheats.
Yours very truly,
j. S. JONES"
Residents of north Idaho must
remember that western wheat
does not produce the high grade
of flour that can be made from
the hard wheat of the east and
that in many cases the flour is
blamed when the trouble really
lies in not understanding how to
gain the best results from it.
The local mill is now supplying
the Nezperce Farmers Union
with flour in car lots, as we'll as
selling their product at nearly all
points on both prairies and on
Craig mountain.

she took seat in a street car or Ill a theatre, without waiting for him To suggest where to sit She did not enjoy the plays on this account, she said. He also complained to her about her speaking to so many peo- pie, whom he said he did not know, and would ask her where she met them.
 Mrs. Kientz says she made her own dresses and did her own housework, in addition to having house boy and cook.
 She declared that last May, when they were living in the Graham hoille her husband choked her when she re- fused to write letter to Dr. Hank ison at his suggestion. She says he broke the skin on her neck ana brought blood from her lips. One day. she recited, her husband brought home a venison steak and the COOK thought it was for the dog. Ills ap- use was so humilating, she says, that young lady who lived with her ana a travelling man who was calling that evening, had to go out on the front porch to avoid embarrassment.
 On one occasion her husband made her consult Dr Williams for cold, and insisted that her lungs were af- fected. She says he told the COOK that Mrs. Kientz was going to Denver for her health-and she added thaf he was anxious to send her there to get rid of her. On other occas'ons he would tell her, she said, that iady friends had invited them to call ana when she went with her husbahd to the homes mentioned, they would find that there had been no prepara- ton to receive them and that they were not expected
 Witness Cross Examined.
 On cross examination Mrs. kiantz said that it was in 1902 that her hus- band said he had lost $30. She sad he gambled every year since that time and when asked why she. did not seek legal separation from MT. Kientz before now, she said he told her divorce would hurt him in bus mess and she did not have any de- sire to iniure him in that way
 Mrs. Kientz denied that she hao been to Silbernagle's store on west Pullen street, where she met mar ried man, after telephoning her nus band that she was at home, dressing and would soon he down after nm
 Tn relating the incident when hel husband choked her, as alleged, she said that he locked all the doors aho windows at their home and got MT Craham's shotgun and pointed lt4'a' her. He made her write a letter u < asEssssa ftEfEs5 Is.sf%f tss

affectlOnS.
 Mrs. Kientz says her husband held a shot gun to her and made her write a letter to Dr. Hankison, dict ating it himself This letter, she testified, was torn up by MT. kientz immediately after it was written by her, saying he did not like it, and then she says, when he demanded that she write another, he choked her.
 In the depositions a number of prominent Pine Bluffians are men, toned as having taken the kientzs auto riding and others were men- toned in other incidents that had little bearing on the differences be- tween MT. and Mrs. KientZ. In one instance, however, a young lady, prominent in this city, was mention ed as receiving the alleged letters that passed between Dr. Hanklson and Mrs. Kientz, the young lady de- livering them later, it is claimed by the attorneys for her husband, to Mrs. Kientz.
 Mrs. Kientz, in testifying, said that i she came here ten years ago With , her husband. The first trouble they 1 had, she said, was in 1902 when her husband told s. A.. Miller. in her 1 presence, that he had lost $30 gamb- ling. He had no job at the time, she said, and she didn't like the state ment She said she was doing all the housework and washing herself at that time and even seWed for ne- gro girls to get money. She said her husband had previously told her that he had lost the money in Dreyfus , store and that although the clerks helped him look for it, it was never found She returned silk dress at that time, feeling that they were not able to buy it. When she talked with him about the gambling state ment she says her husband swore at her Since last winter, he has gam bled continually and frequently came home at 4 and , a. m. and would fuss at her after one of these games Would stay away all day Sunday and did not come to his Sunday dinner Other games were played at her home and at "stag affairs she said and when she learned that they were playing for money she objected and her husband became angered and ab- used her.
 She told of several auto rides at different times, in which friends had invited them to go. Once or twice Mr. Kientz+ did not go and when his wife returned 7, she says he would scold her for riding with men. He found faultawitH her, She said, when

He then demanded that she write another, as he dictat- ed, but she declined to do so. lie checked her and she begged to be permitted to get the peroxide from an adjoining room. He let her go and she ran out of the house. when asked by Judge Jones why she had not charged this in her original pe- t'tion for divorce, she said she had left the matter entirely with her at torney, MT. Can't.
 Mrs. Kientz strongly denied that she had received letters from UT. Hankson previous to that incident and she also denied that any letters had passed from him to her through young lady friend. Kientz and his brothers, she testified, tried to make her admit the receipt of the letters at her home, but she says she de- nied any knowledge of them.
 Judge Jones trapped Mrs. Kienta when he asked her if the letters, she is supposed to have gotten from Dr. Hankison, were written at the same time. She replied that they were and Judge Jones asked her to explain how came one of the letters, which was exhibited at the hearing, writ ten in an indelble pencil and the other in just plain lead pencil. She said that she could not explain that She said that her husband told her that he was to be transferred by Ar mour to Birmingham, Ala, and that if she would go with him they would start life oyer adding that he Would always try to blame her for their financial condition. She said that she had heard that he would lose his job with Armour if he did not stop gambling. She said she saw a letter to this effect from her, hus- lands a.lgsasa bgether # t.. 5i :. 4a

In a beautiful hole in the ground,
Where the woodpecker pecks and the

And the st%raddlebug straddles

Too impractical, stingy and dead;
But he wants the earth and all of it's
crust,
And the stars that shine overhead.
Then hustle him off to the humble

And bury hin deep in the ground;
He's no use hefe-get him out Of the

Us Talk 1t
Over

Well, dear sinner friends, this is
The Fool-Killer.
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it, you can get more at
headquarters.
The Fool-Killer is not even a forty
'leyenth cousin to any other paper on
earth.
It stands in a class by itself. and
its field is IS broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,
collar nor halter.
You can put that down to start with.
/ am~the fellow who works at the
pump-handle on this pungent period
ical of thrilling thought. / print only
what l write; l write only what I
think; and / think what i doggon
please.
I own this entire establishment,
and Rockefeller isn't rich enough to
buy one share of it.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, / am a great
deal richer than old John.
I never travelled any to speak of,
but / have read a great deal, and have
thunk some.
/ have also writ a few books which
/ know are great, because they don't
sell worth a cent.
Great books never do.
And then / started The Fool-Killer,
just to quiet my nerves and keep the
old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
a bundle of literary dynamite that
will shake the rotten foundations of
society and cause the Church of Nam
NOR to at least turn over in it's sleep.
The Fool-Killer will be a monthly
nustard-plaster for the bl%ood-boils of
Society, Church and State.
1t will be sailed with wit, peppered
with humor and seasoned with sar-
casm.
Every line will cut like a whip, and
every word will raise a blister.
If you are a fool you had better not
subscribe for The Fool-Killer. If
you are wise you will. And so that
settles it.
