HOIStsin Association.

The gentlemen interested ir
Holstein- Friesian cattle in Frank.
lin county held a meeting in
Chambersburg last Saturday af-
ternoon, with a surprisingly large
attendance.
Mr.. Reinhold, Secretary of the
State Association, spoke of the
demand for the Holstein showing
that it was increasing all over
the country yet there were no To-
cal organizations in which the
State organization could be in
touch when demand comes from
other states for them.
At present hundreds of buyers
are going into other states be-
cause Pennsylvania breeders of
Holstein Cattle are not making
themselves known through or
ganization. Mr.. Reinhold said
so great was the demand for Hol-
stems that he would personally
guarantee to take every register
ed Holstein calf raised in this
county, when two weeks old, at
from $50 to SIS.
1t would please the NEWS read
ers to hear Of a similar branch
of the State Association being
organized in this county. 1t
would be in exact line with re-
cent discussion of the Thorough
bred idea.

The following story, from Lip

but maybe he laughed out of the
other side of his face when the
check came back through the
his bank:
Hiram "Haw! Haw! Haw! |
skinned one of them city fellers
that put the lightning-rods on my
house."
Silas-'Ye did? How did you
do it?
Hiram why, when | made
out the check to pay him, | just
signed my name without specify
ing the amount. III bet there
will be somebody pretty mad
when he goes to cash it."

Farm Buildings Protection.

That chemicals will entirely
take the place of water within
the next five years as a means of
fighting fire was the prophecy
made at a recent convention Of
fire fighters. In the large cities
most of the small fires are now
put out with chemicals, and it is
not a big step from this to the
use of guns for shooting powd-
cred chemicals or chemical bombs
into buildings for putting out big
blazes. As an argument against
the use Of water, case was re-
ferred to where in a small fire
the fire loss was $5, 900, while the
loss due to the water poured on
the flames amounted to no less
than about $4,000. From the
April Number of Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

rounds of the newspapers these
days as to what should be taught
in the public schools. The be.
lief is growing that the schools
in farming districts should adopt
a course of study adapted to di-
rect the child's attention to scien
tific farming or, rather, to life in
the country at whatever vocation
he may afterwards chose to fol-
low there. Since agriculture,
horticulture, stock raising, the
poultry business and truck gar
dening are the principal opportu-
mites open to the country gen.
tleman, his studies as a boy in
school should be directed with
these in view. Industrial depart
ments, at the expense of the tax
payer, are common in the high
schools OF our larger towns, why
not in the country? 1t would not
increase taxation one whit. The
only necessary adjunct would be
that the teacher be compelled to
hold a certificate of ability to
teach the fundamental principles
of agriculture. Any teacher or
writer will force to the front
whatever tendency he feels tow
ard some particular calling. If
his heart is with rural life he
will make of the common school
branches stepping stones to the
attainment of desired ends. He
will skilfully lead the minds of
his pupils to see the beauties of a
true life out in the country where
individual effort finds no barriers
to advancement as is the case
with the young man who works
under a boss" in the city. Don't
say that farming does not pay.
1t does pay except in cases where
the young man starts at it with
the determination to follow in
the time worn ruts of discarded
methods. No doctor, lawyer,
preacher, or mechanic of any
kind, can reach a very efficient
standard without first preparing
himself for that particular call
ing; neither can any young man
take hold of our overworked soils
and make them yield to his will
unless he first understand the
philosophy of soil and plant req
usites. The day of the guess-at
and the hit-and-miss methods of
handling soils is forever past
where old farms are the scene of
activities.
The study of elementary phys
les is absolutely necessary be-
fore experiment station reports
can be understood. This, in it's
self is fascinating to boys. Then
follow with the application of
these principles the study of phys
ical needs of soils and plants,
and you have a boy who, if he
have any ambition to succeed at
anything, will make the soil pro-
duce food in abundance for both
man and beast. He will then
soon take a place of honor among
his fellows, while his less fortu-
nate brother will be struggling
as a nobody in the city among
the workmen of doubtful stand
ing. The former will be receiv-
ed on a level with the best men
in the county when he appears
among them, while the latter, |
when he appears in public, will
be "only one to them factory
hands,"
Yes, by all means, let US de-
mand our rights and have our
sons and daughters educated tow
ard the farm instead of away |
from it, as is now the undisputed
case with our present system. |
Agitate this idea for a short time
and the State will grant the de-

and Cunningham are part owners, has been abusing
Senator Borah, and laudng Governor Hawley, whose

in the senate, should the democrats win the legislature
Both Mr. Johnson and Mr.. Chandler are on record as

When was nominated to be voted
for at the primary election as repub-
lican candidate for state representative,
| accepted the nomination and signed
pledge to support the republican nomi-
nee at the primary for U. S. senator.
Senator Borah was the only republican
placed in nomination to be voted for at
the primary election, and on July 18th,
l made a statement, through the
columns OF the Clearwater Republican,
that if nominated and elected to the
legislature, would support Senator
Borah for reelection. | now reiterate
that II elected as representative from

will support Senator Borah for reelec-
ton, first, last and all of the time. The

HOnOrS,

Miss Della Loseth, who is a member
of the school-sewing club of this
county, won the first premium for her
sewing at the Idaho Intermountain
Fair held last week in Boise. This
makes two first-permiums she has won
on her sewing this fall, having secured
a first from the Clearwater County
Fair.
Miss Loseths travelling ex-
penses were paid by Clearwater
county; her expenses at Boise by the
fair association there.
When asked about her trip, she
said, 81 had splendid time. 1t was
not only a pleasure trip, but also an
educational trip; Miss Hoover OF the
state university gave sewing and cook
ing lessons to the girls representing
these clubs"
Great credit is due Miss Maud Mix,
for the impetus she gave the sewing
club in this county.

Cement Works Get Franchise

The village council, at special ses-
sion on Tuesday morning, granted a
franchise for one year to the Orofino
Portland Cement company to construct
and operate line of railway from the
Northern Pacific crossing of Michigan
avenne to the eastern limits of the vii
lage. In seeking this franchise, Mr..
Peddycord, president of the company,
stated it was the object of the company
to begin immediate work upon the con-
struction of the railroad and the plant
Upon this consideration the franchise
was granted. Mr.. Peddycord stated to
the republican scribe that his company
was now ready for work upon the
plant, and that telegram had been
sent to Engineer Hassen to come to
Orofino Immediately and take charge
OF the work. The Charles Bellmer
property has been recently purchased
and will be used as headquarters for
the engineers. Mr.. Hassen will bring
seven assistants with him and expects
to arrive here this week. The prelimi-
nary work will consist in putting
in temporary buildings to be
used to house material for plant con-
structiOn and the location of the rail-
road survey, as it will be necessary to
construct the railroad before material
arrives for the building of the plant.
Mr.. Peddycord stated that everything
would be under full swing by Novem-
Der lst. AS an evidence of the time
required to construct cement plant,
from Is to Is months, Mr.. Peddycord
stated it required nine months to pro-
cure the burners after placing the
order. From $50 to 200 men will be
required in construction work upon
the plant and railway. 1t is not the
purpose of the company to board or
otherwise provide for the men en-
ployed in construction and operation
at the works. The money outlay for
the railroad and buildings will be about
$780, 600. This is the best news this
section has heard in many day and all
citizens are rejoicing over the COM
mencement Of early work on this gi-
gantic enterprise.
