Saturday, illustrating with charts
a lesson in pruning and explaining
the methods for eradication of fruit
pests. His lecture on small fruit
culture was very interesting and
beneficial. incidentally he re-
ferred to the problems OF market

canning plant as a profitable
method for using up certain fruits
that otherwise are apt to go to
waste.
simultaneously with the nova

held at points in other parts of the

Warning Against Locust Borer

People setting out black Locust
trees should guard against the pur-
chase of Locust trees which are grown
10 the east or regions subject to the
Locust borer. This borer is very
prevalent throughout the central and
eastern states, says 1. w. Cook, assis-
tant forester, University of Idaho.
1t attacks the wood honeycomblng
the stem and branches by its borngs
and kills the tree back year after year.
Although we have stringent state
inspection of nursery stock, experience
has taught in other states having
good inspection that it is almost i'm
possible to keep it out If stock is
shipped from infected regions. 1t is
very hard to detect In slightly infected
nursery stock even with close inspec.
tion.
The safest and cheapest plan is to
grow the trees from seed. The trees
eau be grown as easily from seed as
beans or corn. Simply plant the seed
in the spring in hills or drill rows,
cover J inch deep and hoe aud cult-
vate the same as beans. Soak the
seed in warm water for five hours i'm.
mediately before planting. The trees
will grow one To two feet high the
drst season and six to ten feet in
three years. If the seed is planted in
hills where the trees are desired t.
stand, the trees will grow better than
nursery stock. II seed is planted in
drill rows in the garden as is some
times more convenient, the trees
should be transplanted to theil
permanent location the following
spring; because of the long deep roots
which are very hard to transplant
after the first year. Seed can be pur
! chased from D. Hill & Co., Dundee
e Ill.,, Milton Nursery, Milton, Oregon
t or any other good tree seed firm at
very reasonable cost.
Black locust will grow we'll In al

: is probably the best tree for shade
;, windbreaks or fence post material
: Ordinarialy it will grow to fence pos
- size in five or six years.

AT NATIONAL CAPITAL
Paragraphs On Important
Government Affairs.
THE OPENING OF CONGRESS
Champ Clark Breaks Two Gavels
Pounding for Order.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 9. 1t
was considered quite natural that
Speaker Champ Clark should
break two great mallets in less
than an hour and a half of the first
session Of Congress Dec. 2, but
one cannot help wondering how
many the speaker would have re-
quired in the same length of time
had the majority rule been in force
in the Baltimore conyention. "The
House will be in ORDER" he would
declare, giving at the same time
mighty whacks with mighty
gayel.
Strange though it may seem.
during the continuous round Vi
ovations in the house on the open
ing day, ex-Speaker Cannon, erst-
while arch enemy of every Demo
cratic policy, was accorded the
monster ovation of the day. In
March he will have completed
nearly forty years service in the
House. Included in the cheering
| game, four Governors-elect we're
given distinct recognition, they
being Cox of Ohio, Robinson of
Arkansas, Sulzer of New York and
Hanna of North Dakota
The opening of the Senate was
a sober affair, as the hour glass oi
life had spent the sands, and three
OF the members of the world S
greatest legislative body had in a
few short weeks fallen with the
autumn leaves to enrich mother
earth. Vice President Sherman
was gone, and so we're Senator'S
Hepburn and Rayner The Sc s.

memory of these who had fallen,
and with grave and thoughtful de-
meanor those in the Senate OBJ
served the brief proceedings.
A Democratic argument is that
supposing there are 3o,o fourth
class postmasters in the Unitet
States, there are an exactly equa
number of reasons why the incom

of officials in the civil service.

CLOSE Of farmers SCHOOL
Last Saturday End Of Daily
Sessions.
MUCH INTEREST is SHOWN
Vote of Thanks.-Hope Expressed
For School Next Year.

The farmers movable school,
held in Rathdrum all last week
under the management of the agri-
cultural extension department of
the University Of Idaho, with
view to aiding the tillers of the
soil to do better work and reap
greater rewards for their efforts
than ever before, closed last Satur-
day afternoon with vote of thanks
to Prof. Olin and the other experts
who had lectured here. The vote
OF thanks was proposed by G. r.
klopf, chairman of the committee
on arrangements, and was heartily
concurred in by all those present.
In few closing remarks Mr.. klopf
voiced the hope of a great many
that the movable school be held in
Rathdrum again next year and
that the farmers of the county seek
to profit by the knowledge impaired
to the greatest extent possible.
A feature of Saturdays session
was free lunch of coffee and warm
sandwiches served at noon by the
ladies. A meeting of the women
was held upstairs in the afternoon
by Miss Jessie Hoover, instructor
in domestic science. A large num-
her attended.
| A very interesting program,
supplementing the sessions of the
movable school, was rendered at
Fraternal hall last Friday evening
to crowd that taxed the seating
! capacity of the hall to the limit.
Following several stirring selec-
tions by the Rathdrum City band,
! and piano solo by Miss Hazel
Hopkins of Hayden Lake, students
, of the public school presented the
comic sketch entitled "Mrs. Rug
gles." The high school students
entered the room in lockstep for
nation and regaled the audience
with the class yells and one or two
songs of the basket ball team.
} The lecture by Miss Hoover on
the subject of domestic science or
home economics was listened to
with close attention. Miss Hoover
a said the course of study that seeks
to teach girls only the same
] branches Of knowledge taught tc
d boys was wrong. As an important
: educational reform she spoke EN-.
= phatically in favor of teaching girls
" home economics in the grade
schools. incidentally she called
attention to the need of better
building and greater facilities foI

Thousands Are Turning from This

are none of the bad after effects of

DR.. Edwards has long been foe OF
calomel. though he recognized its value
along with its dangers.
His distrust of the uncertain drug
eventually started him years ago to-
wards experiments with the view of
discovering a substitute. and he is to-
day in possession of the long-sought-

effect on the liver has been the means
of relief to many of DR.. Edwards regu.
