USE OF WORD DAMN"

We're glad to hear from Dr. Stanley
Hall, moralist and psychologist, that
we may say damn" when the occa-
sion requires and not lose caste with
the great of earth, who have, he tells
us, always, when deeply moved, in
dulged in strong language.
1t is a relief to know this, for it
must be confessed that we've some
times used that pungent word and
afterward wondered if it was Just the
proper thing.
When the other side has three on
bases in the ninth inning, with two
out, and the score a tie, and an easy
one is driven to short and fumbled,
letting in a run. how in the name
of goodness is fellow to express the
tumult of his feelings il not by some
short and ugly word?
Better beware of an engine without
a safety valve.
Yet there's a considerable choice
in cuss words. And. frankly, we be-
lieve you can get the desired relief
for your short-circuited feelings in
most of the emergencies of life with
out going into the kinds of profanity
which give grief and anguish to pious
souls who chance to overhear.
President Wilson, foozling an easy
stroke on the golf links. might have
torn off line of language that would
have forced a special session of the
presbytery But he didn't He merely
said: Tut, tut!" Mildly, sweetly.
Just like this: Tut, TUT" And, be-
hold, next day it was all in the pa
pers, proving how virtue is often It's
own reward.
So. though DR.. Hall says we may
say damn" without forfeiting fellow
ship with the elect, we're not at all
certain that it is best for us to culti-
vate the habit. Which reminds us
of story:
There was once a farmer widely re-
nowned for his original cussing. Folks
used to come from miles around to
hear him swear. One day he started
for town with a load of potatoes

Disappointed. the boy approached
and asked; why don't you swear?'

this reply:

A THOUGH he graduated from
IA Annapolis in 1894, Winston
Churchill never served in the navy.
Instead, Immediately after complet-
Ing his studies he began writing. He
had found out that he could write
when he was still at Annapolis, and
decided that fiction rather than the
navy was his line of work. For this
the young graduate had fine equip
ment. Annapolis gave him self-reli-
ance and determination. Those gradu-
ates of the Naval Academy who have
not gone into the navy have usually
been successful in whatever they
have done. This is particularly true
in the case of Churchill. Well edu-
Gated, at the same time he is full of
the joy of life itself, and likes all

FORTUNES MADE
IN USING WASTE
LIQUIDS and Wool Shearings
Once Thrown Away Now Con-
verted Into Useful Articles.

Very few things go to waste nova
days. Products which we're hitherto
regarded as worthless have been
turned to such good account that they
have earned fortunes for manufac-
turers and have provided employment
for thousands of workers.
One of the best examples OF this
is coal tar.
1t is not so many years ago that
gas makers were glad to give away
coal tar in order to get rid of it.
Then science discovered its use for
making dyes, how it could be turned
into a valuable antiseptic, and ultl-
mately it proved an important factor
in the invention of the smokeless pow
ders and powerful explosives Whlch
have made modern warfare so terri
BILE.
About the Same time that the value
of coal tar was discovered an effort
was being made to utilize a thick,
evil-smelling liquid, byproduct OF
the soap-boiling industry, which had
been thrown away as useless. Ultl-
mately this substance was collected
and refined, the result being glycerine
and a fortune.
Perhaps one of the most astonlsh-
ing discoveries was that by which the
was made to yield thousands OF dol
lars. Some observant individual dis
covered that a certain amount OF
potash was absorbed by sheep as they
chewed the meadow grass. This pot
ash circulates through the skin and
adheres to the wool. In cleaning the
wool, this mixture of dirt and potash
was recklessly washed away. Nova
DAYS. however, wool cleaning estab-
lishments retain the water. and en-
ploy chemists to remove the potash
for further chemical use. 1t is estl-
mated that no fewer than 2,200,00
pounds of potassium carbonate is
made from the potash thus saved In
the mills and securing establish
ments of France and Belgium.
Little is wasted nowadays in the
cotton and silk industries, although
at one time the outside and inside
husks of cocoons were regarded as
mere refuse. Now, however, the
working up of waste fibres has been
so perfected that very little OF the
raw material is thrown away Vel
vets and pushes are now made from
short fibres, which were at one time
regarded as mere waste.
The same story could be told OF cot
ton. Although much cotton waste
finds its way to the papermaker, the
time Is not far distant when like
flock and shoddy, even short cotton
fibres will be worked over again Tor
textiles. AS 1t is, the waste OF cot
ton mills is employed for the making
OF mating and wadding and of car
pet Innings.

| ing, tennis and horseback riding are
his favorite sports.
For awhile after graduation he
worked on the Army and NAVY Jour
nal, and then joined the staff of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine. During this
time he wrote a great deal; but did
not attempt to publish these first
experiments in fiction.
He married in 1896 and moved not
long afterward to his home at Cor
nish, New Hampshire, which is at
| present the summer residence of Pres
! ldent Wilson. Churchill was very
fortunate, He did not have to earn
living by doing hackwork, and
could take plenty of time with any,
| thing that he wrote
1t is said that genius is the capacity
for taking great pains. Winston
Churchill surely illustrates this adj
| age. Hard work, determination, and
a keen sense of values made him the
successful novelist that he Is. He was
ambitious to write the very best he
knew how. Once, when living In ST.
Louis, he hired an office and went
down to 1t as regularly as any other
man of business. His writing was
business, and was treated as such.
He rewrote Richard Carver' at
least five times. He worked from
breakfast until 1 o'clock, after lunch
for two or three hours, and after din
ner often far into the night. This
the first of three of Winston Church
ills novels dealing with American
history, became the most popular
| book In the United States. 1.-THE
Crisis" the second of these histori-
cal novels. appeared few years after
Richard Carvel," and in 1904 THE
Crossing" the last of the triology, was
published. The background for 1.-THE
Crisis" was the Civil War, and 1.-THE
Crossing" dealt with the great west
ern movement across the country.
Churchill has served in the New
Hampshire legislature, and also ran
/ for the governorship of that state
"Coniston' was direct outgrowth
of his political associations. The novel
is story of politics. with charming
| love story running through it.

man, and there Is every reason to be-
lieve that his best and biggest work

At the Fairs

AS we have always been very sue
cessful as a district heretofore in
making an exhibit to the credit for
(Latah county, and in taking the
various prizes and sweepstakes at all
the fairs. we this year intend to
make a strictly Potlatch" exhibit,
and have already made arrangements
fer space to the various fair associa-
tons, and are now negotiating with
the International Dry Farming Asso-
citation at Iusla, Okla, for space to
make this same exhibit, where the
whole world will be represented and
be in competition.
We therefore request that the
growers of the Potlatch country save
out of the cereals and grasses the
very best stuff that you have and
make this one exhibit the master
one OF all the years past. We can
do this with your assistance and
very little effort on the part of each
one, and at the same time the names
OF the growers will be placed on the
stuff that is furnished by each indi-
vidual.
If you cannot bring the stuff in,
if you will let the undersigned know
where it is, and who has it, we will
make arrangements to get it from
you and prepare for the fairs.
Respectfully,

LELAND CELEBRATES
IN OLD TIME FASHION

Last Friday morning the citizens
were all out bright and early to
start up the grade to Leland to
celebrate the 4th of July. Some
went in wagons, buggies, autos,
and some on foot, anyway to get
there. The day was an ideal one,
fit for just such an occasion. After
arriving in Leland where everything
was in readiness for the occasion,
everyone began to make themselves
at home The program of the day
was as follows:-Music by the Ken
drick band, invocation by DR..
Reese, address of welcome by Jessie
Hoffman, song by choir. reading of
the Declaration of independence by
Esther Hoffman, song by eight
girls, music by Kendrick band, ora
ton of the day by Geo. E. Vadney,
song by male quartet, recitation,
old Settlers Story" by Margaret
Vadney, Flag drill by eight girls,
song by choir, music by Band. In
the afternoon the ball game, Leland
VS. Kendrick, was played with. a
score of 4 to IL in favor of Ken
drick. After the game the crowd
was invited to the main street where
the different sports were held. All
afternoon and evening the dancers
amused themselves dancing in the
Odd Fellow hall. The crowd was
of good size and everyone seemed
to enjoy themselves. The Leland
people are to be complimented upon
the manner in which they had pre-
pared things.

Lewiston Charleston Fair
To Be Better Than Ever

Lewiston, Idaho, July 10. The
initial announcement for the Lewis
toni Charleston fair which will be held
Sept. % to Oct. q, outlines the
plans of the fair management for
improvement of the new grounds
purchased by the city at cost of
$4,000 and the bringing together
of most comprehensive exhibits of
the agricultural, horticultural, tim
Der and mineral products of the
rich eastern Washington and north
ern Idaho communities. The pre-
miums for all these exhibits will be
much larger than ever before and
special attention will be- given to the
entertainment and amusement fea-
lures to be provided on the grounds
and in the carnival streets.
The management will offer this
season as a special innovation the
big Rice & Dore Water Carnival
company which will provide the
special free attractions at the grounds
as well as the street carnival settings
in the city. Twenty-Five cars are
required to move the the big aggre-
cation and the entertainment to be
provided is entirely new to the
northwest. A small sized lake will
be constructed in the infield imme-
diately in front of the grandstand
and in this fifteen people will daily
present most thrilling and myster-
ious performance.

LARGE LIGHTS ARE
TO Be INSTALLED

The City Council have ordered
G. M. Lewis to install three large
gasoline street lights in the business
part of town. This Will be a great
improvement over the little candles
that have been found in the streets
after careful hunt on dark night.
The improvement is what is wanted
and the more the town improves the
more there will be doing. There is
no use of a town or the people in it
to be so narrow minded as to want
to remain in darkness the rest of
their days. This is day of pro-
gressiveness and unless the town
and city does not forge ahead and
keep up with the times it is sure to
die. This is an excellent business
center in the midst of the most
prosperous farming section in the
Great Northwest and there is no
reason to be behind the times.
Come out of that old fogie idea
that if you can't be the whole cheese
you won't be anything, and boost
for the best interests of the town.
