Investment at home, and greater
development are the
keynotes to success in every new
country. In Kootenai valley there
are unparalleled opportunities for
in vestment in arabic land that is |
especially adapted to the raising OF
fruits and vegetables. The climate
of Northern Idaho leaves nothing
to be desired aud the wise settler
VINO buys land here at home lis not
only assisting in the development
of rich country, but is investing
his money in a way that will pay
him handsome dividends in the
future. 10 an article on Invest
ment VS.. Speculation" the American
Lnmberman says:
When the farmer who owns a
quarter section of good land gets
the idea that it is not good enough
for him and puts his surplus into
some distant land promotion
scheme 10 Canada or elsewhere he
draws from the resources of his own
community and engages in specu-
lation that is just as risky as the
ticker and black board type.
The farmer is chosen as an ex-
am pie because he is the foundation
of our economic structure. The
same choice between investment
and speculation presents itself tC
the city dweller. He is just as de
pendent on the welfare of his com
munity as is the farmer. Loca
prosperity is all he asks, and it il

ANTI-FLY CRUSADE
Flies Destroy Peace, Health and
Happiness.

A few years ago flies were looked
upon as scavengers. They were
thought of as necessary evil. Now
they have been found out. Every
physician, every scientist, every /
entomoligist has taken a whacl. at |
the fly. If it. were not for the fact |
that they breed and multiply by
the million, they would have been
annihilated long ago. A scientist
has computed that the descendants
of a single fly, should they all
live, would amount to the enormous
sum of 8, 154,000,0O0.
1t has been proven time and
again that the Fly carries the
bacilli of Typhoid, tuberculosis.
Dysentery, and Intestinal Diseases,
and aside from the fact of its being
a germ carrier the fly is filthy and
dirty.
The following rules for dealing
with the fly nuisance have been
issued by the Merchants Associa-
ton of New York City,
Keep the flies away from the
, sick, especially those i'll with con-
tagious diseases. Kill every fly
that strays into the sick room.
His body is covered With disease
a germs.
Do not allow decaying material
) Of any sort to accumulate on OF

e Screen all food, whether in thu

In Memory Of Grandma Carr.

One still bright night in June
The silent message came
To call our own dear loved one
Up to a better home.
With aching hearts we watched
The lamp of life burn low
How bitter were the tears we shed
When we knew that she must go.
Her life had been a blessing
To all we CHANGED to meet
Ever patient, kind and loving
Made her presence very sweet.
We thought her beautiful in life
But as in death she lay
We thought her far too beautiful
To put from sight away. s.
But Mother has gone 10 Der reward
Let fall the silent tear
As thinking of her spotless life
Makes her seem so very near,
In fancy l see her as she stands
In raiment white as snow
We would not call her back to us
But to her we will strive to go.
In our lonely family circle
Wien we are all gathered there
A loved one now is missing,
There is still vacant chair.
Dear Mother, we are sad and lonely
Since you left us here alone
But we know il we are faithful
We will meet in heavenly home.

Women Clerks in Evidence.

The number of women who obtain
clerkships during sessions Of the
Legislature has been steadily in
creasing Of late years, and this ses-
sion there are more than ever. II
can be said to the credit of these
feminine clerks that they perform
their work In IA highly satisfactory
manner. At the rate the women
have been gaining on the men and
showing the latter out of jobs about
Jefferson City, the time Is coming
when men clerks about the Legisla-
ture will he rare. Presumably the
men will still be allowed to do the
janitor work and climb up to the
dome and adjust the American flag
when II gets tangled up with the
zephyrs. But as clerks the men are
disappearing race. Oldtimers say
they can remember when there was
not single woman employed about
the Capitol In any capacity. Now
there are quite as many women as
men, and the latter are gaining right
along and never surrender one inch
that they acquire.

The Wise Germans.

The completion OF the German
census shows that rs per cent of the
people of that great country live In
rural places. The cities In Germany
have increased in population, but
the bulk of the people still prefer to
remain in the fields.
The incident brings to mind the
difference between Germans and
Americans. In this country every
body seems to have craze to live
in the city. The race in America is
for big cities and not for big and
widespread agricultural commune
ties.

cuss the wisdom or unwisdom Of the
course which our people are pursu-
ing, we do no: hesitate to say that

open country has the best of it in
the long run from every conceivable
point of view. Los Angeles Times.
