which belongs to the people to build
and improve public roads for the peo-
pie.
The democrats have squandered the
public funds, thousands Of dollars of
them, and today the people are in
debt and paying seven per cent inter-
est on outstanding warrants, while
Frank Zelenka and the gang have
handed out more than one fat contract.
These fellows are bowling about
good roads, and the people will wake
up and find that they have paid for
what they got, in spite of the claims
of the gang that they are giving
these roads to the people.
What, then, has this man Zelenka
done in the way of coed roads that is
worthy Of special merit? What has
he done that any ordinary man in the
same public position could not do?
With the same money in the hands Of
men like Fred Choate, Jack Harlan
and j. J.. Coontz, all men of good
Judgment, careful and economical
habits, there would be more road and
better road, because more money
would go into actual labor on the
roads.
Nothing that he has ever done in
the two years he has been county
commissioner so we'll illustrates the
way Mr.. Zelenka has wasted county
funds, and thereby hindered the build
ing of good roads, as the purchase of
road culvert, the figures of which APP
pear in this paper in another place.
Read them and remember they are
based on county records. Remember
that thes.only excuse ever offered by
the gang in defense of such rank ex-
travagance was one little whine from
Mr.. Zelenka who said:
1--WE got better quality
And the facts are Clearwater coun.
ty got nothing of the kind, and Mr.
Zelenka can't produce one scrap Of
proof to substantiate such claims.

MR.. COUNTY ATTORNEY, STAND
TIP


Tell us what you have done in the
past two years to earn your 500 per
month. Did not the county commits
sioners on April IA, 1914, pay Geo. w.
Tannahill $3.50 for legal services in
connection with suit brought against
Clearwater county? Did not this
same board on October 16, 1914, pay
this same Lewiston attorney another
$3.50 for legal services in another case
in which Clearwater county and
several Of it's officers were defend
ants? And another $3.50 on the same
date, to the same attorney in a SINH
lar case, in which you were one of
the respondents? And another 5000
on October Is. 1914, to Dwight E.
Hodge, another Lewiston attorney for
legal(?) services in representing Clear
water county before the state board of
equalization? A total Of $3.50, is it
not, in less than year?
Have your official duties been so
arduous that you could not attend to
these suits? In what cases, civil or
criminal or in what advisory work for
the county have you been engaged
during this time to the extent that
you could not attend to the defense of
these cases ? During the past year
have you not found time to defend in
court the clients who have employed
you in private litigation? Have you
not devoted the greater part of your
time to private practice while other
attorneys have been employed to look
after the work for which you are paid
salary? Did not the county COM
missioners 60 to Lewiston last Sep
TENDER for legal advice in connection
with their annual tax levy? Surely
you might have found time to assist
them with their annual budget, at
least.
And if all Of this extra expense has
been incurred, not because you have
been to busy with other county mat
tiers (which you cannot seriously con-
tend) is it because the present board
Of commissioners lack confidence in
your advice? And if that is the case,
will Messers Coontx, Harlan and
Choate have that confidence which the
present board seems to lack? And If
Mr.. Zelenka has lost such confidence
will it be restored If both he and you
are reelected, or will he continue, as
in the past, to seek legal advise else
where at county expense?
And now its up to you, Mr.. County
Attorney, to 60 ahead and rock the
boat. But note we'll the warning on
the forlorn and seasick ballast in the
stern

GOOD ROADS.

Is there anyone in Clearwater
county 30 foolish as to swallow the
democratic bait thrown out to catch
suckers? The idea it is necessary
to vote for Frank Zelenka, and to
elect the democratic county board in
order to get good roads! The idea is
preposterous. Messrs. Choate, Har-
Ian and Coontz, three Of the best men
in Clearwater county, are all advo-
Gates Of good roads, and stand
pledged to such policy. No section
Of the county need fear to vote the
republican ticket on the ground that
the republicans are opposed to good
roads.
What are the facts?
The republicans are going to cut
out the waste Of county funds. Har-
Ian and Coontz and Choate will not
stand for printing graft. They will
not skin the taxpayers to support q
republican paper, their paper, as the
democrats have done. At least $500
year, perhaps 81, 900, has been abso-
lutely forced from the public treasury
for a paper owned by and run for the
court house ring and the Blakes.
Frank Zelenka excused it on the
ground that the Clearwater Republi-
can is not reliable. He voted for
GRAFT and brazenly defended it.
This money belonged to the people.
It did not belong to the democratic
party. And instead Of using county
funds to support the Clearwater Re-
publican, Messrs. Coontz, Harlan and
Choate will use it to build and i'm
prove county roads for the people
Get this statement!
We say the republicans will save
the printing graft, now going to the
Orofno Tribune, and use the money

Cattle.

There are two distinct types of cows.
The dairy type and the beef type. The
dairy cow is wedge shaped and the
beef COW is brick shaped
The dairy type is mostly found in
New England, for we need the dairy
products.
The four leading dairy breeds of
cows are the Holsteins, Ayrshire, Jer-
sey and Guernsey. The Holsterns come
from Holland and the Ayrshires come
from Scotland. The Guernseys come
from an island named Guernsey and
the Jerseys come from an island named
Jersey
These two islands are found near
England.
The milk is produced in the udder.
The milk veins carry blood. They
are found under the belly. They stretch
from the heart to the uddef
The wedge shape of a COW is mar
row at the front and growing broader
in the back.
When a COW kicks she kicks for
ward or sideways, When q horse kicks
he kicks backwards or upwards,
When the COW lies down she puts
her fofefeet down and then lies down.
When she gets 1D she stands first on
her hind legs and then gets up.
When q horse lies down he gets down
on his hind legs. When he gets up he
gets on his foFeiegs first and then

A Puzzle.

There was once a king who told
his people that if any of them should
go with a woman who wasn't OF his
kin or family he would be arrested.
There was a man who one night
walked on the street after midnight
with ten women.
An officer saw him and put him in
prison.
The next morning he was brought
TO justice. Then the king said:
why is it you break my orders,
and go with ten women
The man replied, Can I not walk
with my daughters, for three are my
daughters ~
The king replied Yes
The man asked: Can 1 not walk
with my sisters" for there are three
who are my sisters"
The king replied, Yes"
Then said the man, Can 1 not walk
with my aunts. for three are my
aunts?'
The king again replied Yes"
Then the man said. And my wife is
mother of them ALL
At this the king was puzzled and
said nothing.
And I would like someone to inter
pref it for me-

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
Annie,s THANKSGIVING.

Dear Uncle Jed: At our school for
Thanksgiving we had to make up a
story about some Thanksgiving kind
ness. and this is the story L wrote:
Annie was a little girl 10 years old
who liked to make poor people happy.
She knew of a poor little lame girl
who lived in the attic of an old house
This little lame girls name was
Hazel
Annie had often seen Hazel sitting
in her little chair by the window as
she was going to school.
1t was the day before Thanksgiving,
and Annie wanted to make someone
happy At last she decided she would
take Hazel something to eat. she
asked her mother.
Her mother said: yes, you may if
YOU wish, Annie"
Next morning Annie was up bright
and early Her mother had a little
basket filled with good things for
Hazel to eat Annie then started on
her way.
At last Annie came to the house.
She climbed the old stairs, laid the
basket on the doorstep. raped on the
door and then started on her way
home.
HazeTs mother came to the door
and when she saw the basket she soon
had the good things to eat spread out
on the table and Hazel and her
mother had a happy Thanksgiving
day: but they could not guess who put
the basket on the doorstep for them.

lily of eight little pigs. They belonged
to a farmer who lived in the country
One of the pigs was white all over,
and one was nearly all black The
others were spotted with black and
white. These little pigs had their
home in a tight little pen just behind
the barn.
For a long time they lived there,
quite happy and contented; but one
day the white pig found a hole under
the side of the pen and squeezed
himself through.
He said to himself: Now l will be-
gin to see the world"
He felt very proud when he thought
of the wonderful things he would tell
his brothers.
Piggy walked around the b2rnyard
until he came to a place where he
could get into the orchard. He thought
this was a nice cool place, though he
did not see anything good to eat He
wandered on until he came 10 the gar-
den and at last wriggled his little body
under the gate.
In the garden he found young beet5
and tender lettuce plants, and he ate
and ate until he could eat no more.
He was just leaving the garden when
he heard a dreadful noise. He looked
and saw the farmer s-h95-s- aRd-a- great
dog running towards him. The dog
bit his ear and scared poor piggy so
that he quite forgot all the wonderful
things he was going TO tell his broth

The Wonderful ciario,e+

There was once. 9, long time ago, a
poor boy named Giles; his parents had
died and left him nothing but a mule
and letter to the king.
The boy made up his mind to take
the letter to the king. AS he was go
ing he met a man almost double with
age. When he got near enough to
speak, the old man told him he lived
very far away and he did not think he
would be able to get home
Giles took pity On the old man and
gave him his mule.
The old man gave Giles clarionet,
and said: Whenever you are in diff
ficuity play it and see what will hap
pen.Y
The boy thanked the old man and
trudged Off on foot with his cIarionet.
By and by some robbers attacked
him. He played his clarionet and the
robbers began to dance and he ran
away
Next he reached the capital and
made his way TO the palace. The sen
try would not let him pass. He again
played the cIarionet and passed by.
Giles went in and knelt before the

must tell you some of the advantages
of learning:
Learning is wekIth to the poor and
honor for the rich. an aid to the young
and a support and comfort for the
aged
Those who learn from their own ex-
perience are wise; those who learn
from the experience of others are hap
by; those who learn neither from their
own experience nor the experience of
others are fools,
Learning makes man fit company
for himself
And the best learning is that which
prompts you to unlearn evil.
If the Wide-Awakes will just fix these
thoughts in their minds they will be
more eager to learn and cause less anx-
iety for parents and teachers, and new
er have occasion for regret
Living in obeSience to parents and
teachers, striving to please all you
come in contact with. desire to grow in
knowledge and usefulness makes the
WAYS of life more and more promising
and the rewards of life greater and
greater.
Wide-Awakes who are diligent in
school days ar likely to have more
comforts end leisure in life than those
who are thougtless and playful and
careless.
This is why Uncle Jed wants the
Wide-Awakes to realize the value of
obedience to parents and application

Getting the Tree.

Dear Uncle Jed: l like to go in the
woods. Last Wednesday my father,
some girl friends and i went in the
woods for a Christmas tree.
We went way back in the woods. as
we could not get any near the edge.
We saw many rabbits running about
from their holes in the ground. They
looked very happy.
We saw the squirrels jumping from
tree to tree
We heard the birds singing sweetly
on the boughs of the trees as they were
swinging in the wind. They seemed 10
know that Christmas was coming
soon.
Every once in a while we would
scare up a flock of quail. 1t was very
windy and the wind rushed through
the trees whistling very loud as it
went.
We enjoyed our walk and when we
got our trees as happy as could be;
and hoping to get q lot of presents.
We did get a great many.

Then came quiet little boy. He
