RAISE CORN AND HOGS

Corn, cattle and hogs will be the
salvation of Clearwater county.
Every farmer living in neighbor-
hood that will grow corn should plant
few acres, and get stock to eat il
on the farm. Wheat is not a paying
crop compared to corn, barring the
abnormal prices resulting from war.
Wheat impoverishes the soil. Con-
tinued raising of wheat will event
ually ruin land.
All over the West we have proof of
the folly of sticking to wheat. Look
at our constantly decreasing average
yield. The farmer cannot go on rob-
bling his soil and not pay the penalty
for mismanagement. The soil must
be replenished, and experience shows
that corn and cattle and hogs, where
the manure is returned to the land,
does enrich and improve the farm.
Feed the crops and let them walk
to market is sound advice.
Intensive farming will make land
around Orofino worth as much as Iowa
land because we can produce, when
handled like the Iowa farmer handles
land, just as much profit.
We need not experiment. The
eastern farmer has tried it and made
good. There was a time when ILL
nois and other states farmed as the
western farmer formerly did, and as
some still farm. Then came the
dairy COW, the hog and the silo.
Scrub stock gave way for the
thoroughbred, and corn, feed on the
farm, transformed everything. Pros
perity blessed the farmer. Hogs and
corn and cattle did the work.
If you can raise corn or any forage
crop don't summer fallow. This is
where the farmer in the Clearwater
valley has the edge on the other fell
low. Get crop of something every
year. Canadian field peas or carrots
will give great results where land is
too frosty for corn or beans.

Few people would care to live, es-
pecially raise family, in commun-
ity without churches. Why is this
true? Because the moral influence of
the church tends to uplift and benefit
the community. We may not believe
in religion, but we must admit the
truth of this statement. For years
the writer refused to admit this. We
argued against it. We tried to make
ourselves believe that churches were
a nuisance, and that preachers were
parasites. We grew broader and wis
er as we grew in years and expert
ence, and now we are certain we
were wrong. The man or woman who
does not believe may not know, but
the Christian knows the power OF
Christ in the life of men and women,
and understands why the church is a
great moral bulwark in a community
And if religion is good thing for 9
community it is worthy of financial
support, isn't it?

SHAME

There isn't citizen in Orofino who
does not enjoy and appreciate the
efforts of Mr.. and Mrs Frank Zelenka
to Deautify and maintain their pretty
home property. There ism a citizen
of the town who should not be justly
proud of this beautiful home, with it's
roses and trees, and there ought to be
real sorrow when it is known that
recently some miscreant deliberately
ruined two of the young trees set out
last spring in front of the property.
These trees had been nursed during
the summer and made substantial
growth, insuring their living to be-
come permanent source of joy and
pleasure and pride to those who have
any sense of the beautiful, and any

TO-DAY IN BELGIUM.

The harvest is over; the fields stanc
cold and bare. The crops have long
since been carried away, and with
them have gone the laborers. Here
and there from among the frozen
stalks of vegetation troubled women
and shaking old men stoop to gather
the little that has been passed by. In
the barns the stalls are empty.
There are no cows to milk against the
thirst of the morrow; and children
go unnourished. In the cellars there
are no winter stores and in the
closets no flour to be made by busy
housewives into bread. To the desc
lation brought by destruction, by
burning and by death is added now
fierce hunger, a suffering unspeak able.
Those who once were rich and those
who have known want before are alike
today without food ard many without
shelter.
This Christmas eve little ones by
hundreds will go supperless to bed.
ard some will have no bed to which
to go but must lie down uncovered
under rude sheds or behind the toppled
walls of shattered buildings. Little
bodies will shake and CULVER with the
cold and be wet with winter snow and
rain. Little voices will beg piteously
for the food that tender mothers must
deny and, in denying, break their
hearts.

The newspaper that is worth its
salt to Clearwater county will make
boosting its primary object. The
newspaper is the only medium that
can do this. The individual lacks
the means of reaching the people. 1t
is the local paper that goes into the
homes and creates sentiment. Exper-
fence has demonstrated to our salts
faction that the local paper can en-
thuse people over their own county.
How often is dissatisfaction with
Clearwater county the result Of lack
of due appreciation of our county
We forget to give credit for all
the good things, and we want to sell
out and move. The local newspaper
can do lot to keep the citizens of a
town or county in that condition of
mind that makes for peace and con-
tentment. The paper that DON
boost is nuisance.

The people of Idaho might have
done lot worse than to have elected
Judge Warren Truitt, now serving a
short term, to permanent position
on the supreme bench. Judge Truitt
was appointed to fill the unexpired
term of Judge Ailshie. The princi-
pal objection raised against Judge
Truitt when he was candidate at
the last primary was that he was too
old man for the place. But look at
the record Judge Truitt is making in
the short time he has been on our su-
preme bench. When have we had a
judge of the supreme court who has
shown more capacity to handle work,
and exhibited greater judicial know
ledge Of supreme court caliber?
The people of the state must recog-
nize in Judge Warren Truitt one of
our most able judges, and citizen of
the highest type. For our part we
are glad it fell to the lot of Judge
Truitt to serve his state in this high
and honored position, even for brief
term. 1t has given him an opportun-
ity to disabuse the public mind of
frivilous objections. He was emf
nently qualified, and he has demon
strated this fact. Idaho would do
we'll to avail herself of the services
of Judge Truitt should opportunity
offer. He is good man, possessed
of ripe judicial training, with sterl-
ing honesty and high ideals.

interest in the town.
All this made no difference to some
vandal, who broke the tops from two,
leaving the ugly stubs as mute evil
dence of dirty trick.
Now the act is done; but what good
has it done the author of it? What
possible pleasure or joy can it ever
bring? And what remorse it should
entail if only those who do such wan
ton acts could come to realize the ex-
tent of their meanness.
1t is only two young trees, but how
barren and forlorn would be this
world if this old earth were barren,
if there were no trees in which the
birds may build their nests and sing
out their joyful notes! Nothing in
creation is more beautiful, and he
who plants tree is rendering a SER
vice to his fellowman.

TO-DAY IN IDAHO

Moscow Star Mirror The early twi-
light has fallen. The streets are
dark, and far above the stars shine
cold and clear. The wind whips
sharply around the corner, and as
father starts up the hill away from
the shop, he buttons his overcoat clos
err, pins down his muffler and fumbles
for the fur-]ined gloves that mother
choose for him last Christmas.
On the porch he kicks the light
snow from his heavy shoes. and the
noise lisa signal for shout and scam
per within. A light in the hall is
flashed on, the door bursts open, the
warm, fragrant air streams out, and
around fathers neck, and legs, and
waist are twined the arms of children
contending for the first hug and the
first toss to his shoulder.
Through the coy, book lined living
room with it's long, Write table cloth
and vase Of flowers snatched from the
late garden just before the freeze,
and on to the kitchen, tramps the
lively, chattering procession, Ito the
kitchen where Mother, flushed from
the hot stove, turns to get kiss on
her four-daubbed cheek. The bacon
for the omelette smokes with deli
cious smell. The toast is turning a
rich brown on the tilted rack, the
baked apples are brought in icy-cold
from the shelf outside the pantry door.
On the back of the stove, slowly cook
ing is the oatmeal for the children IS
breakfast.
The shed is filled with coal anG
wood. In the cellar sacks of pota-
toes crowd the piles Of squash, beets,
pumpkins, carrots, and apple boxes.
The shelves are filled with neatly la
beled fruit. In the tiny special ice
box are three pans of milk.
At the table everybody laughs anc
talks, and above the happy din
Mother cannot make herself heard
to warn Father that he has heaped
too high the plates for the little
folks.
A little later Father makes the
kindling for the morning fires, while
Mother, upstairs, gets out an extra
comforter or two because the air has
Jingle in it. She feels the chill
dren's underwear and wonders whether
it is time to sort the thicker sets.
She hangs in the hall closet the nit
tens, knitted caps, and wooden coats
so that all may be in order for the
school bell next day.
All is safe, comfortable. Father
has work and health. He brings his
wages once a week, and in the stores
his orders for supplies are gladly
filled. Mothers heart is content, hel
mind easy, and her hands busy. The
children go to school well-fed anG
warm. They have no worry more SER
ious than fear that Santa Clause may
not receive their letters. 1t is no,
