Why Not Smile?

Are you angry? Is your lip crack
ed? Are you afraid of wrinkles?
Are you suffering from an ingrowing
crouch? None of them? Then why
don't you smile? History tells us of
men who trained themsclve not to
smile, because they wanted a stern
expression of countentance. The sa-
wage also prided themselves on not
showing any sort of emotion. Have
you noticed in the photographs, that
the mothers of the war heroes of
Europe are not smiling? Neither are
the generals who do the killing.
Only the heroes themselvs are smil--
ing. A hard and stern expression
does not indicate a good heart nor
clear conscience. A thief seldom
smiles. The woman of the streets
smiles with her lips. but her eyes
are hard and cold. The poverty
stricken man on the street who begs
for dime, sends his plea direct to-
your heart if his appeal is accompani-
ed by smile. Only the failures Of
life never smile. A smile is the cry
of the sentry of the soul AlFs
Well!"

turns to the same and solid and con-
servative attitude which has always
distinguished him, The editor of the
country paper, therefore. has duty
to- perform in crystallizing this
thought and sending if out to the
world as the contribution of his Sec
tion of the country to the agitation
of the day. The country editor, US
ually is a comparatively poor man,
but he has sand and independence
and pride of work rarely found in
other professions. Moreover he is
brought into closer personal contact
with his constituency than the editor
of the big city paper. 1t is safe to
say that never before in the history
of journalism have editorials been
more widely or more carefully read,
not, perhaps as in the ola days, to
base an opinion on the views of the
editor, but for the purpose of getting
all sides of every question.

The Country Editorial

Many editors of small papers re-
fuse to give their readers editorials
on the ground that editorials are for
the large city papers and the public
dose not care. for the views of the
country editor. AS a matter of fact,
the views of the rural population are
really reflected by the editorials of
the large city papers, which CLEAN
them from the country papers which
run editorials. The sound thought
of the country is to be found in the
rural districts. Here. in the m ore or
less quite of the country, men and
women read and study and gather
data which results in conclusions
founded on a solid basis. Sometimes
this thought may be haised by the
enthusiasm aroused by the impractic-
al reformer on selfish politician who
runs off at tangent with some. new
fad or ism" but generally such fads
are short lived and the sensible

w. D. Humiston Paid SIS.
600 For Section--Bidding
Spirited --$45, 900 to
be Speut for Labor

Moscow, Aug. 30 Probably one
of the most Important cash deals
yet made by the state land depart
rnent was consumated today when
w. D. Humiston, land agent of the
Potlatch Land company purchased
the timber contained on approx
mately section of land 13 miles
from Elk River in Latah county,
paying therefor the sum of $25, 900.
The title to the land proper still
remains in the state and the con-
ditions of the sale require that the
timber be removed within two
years.
There was unexpected spirited
bidding for the particular timber,
the most of which is white pine, at
the sale held at the court house this
morning and the high price paid was
due to the interests if the Potlach
Lumber campany not wishing to Sc
cure small block within it's hold
ings, thus hampering the operations
of the Elk River and Potlach mells.
The timber is located on land thru
which the St. Maries Elk River
branches of the Milwaukee railroad
passes. The timber was appraised
by the state at $19.15O and tie bid
ding this mornig when opened by
Ben E. Bush, assisted by W. e. Dag
sett, was started by Mr.. Humiston
by the appraised value. Fred Her
rick of the Milwaukee Lumber com
pany, operating an independent saw
mill at st. Maries was the next bid
der at an advance Of $50. Each
offered bids of $50 blocks and
occasionally Herrick entered raise
of $500. He announced he was thru
bidding when the sum of $24, $3.50
was reached and after Mr.. Humiston
had bid $25. 900.
The timber from the particular
section when logged means All ex-
penditure of more than $45, 900 for
labor which will be devided among
residents of Latah country. Mr.
Humiston arrived in town this
morning from Potlach and was ac-
companied by A. W. Laird, general
manager of the Potlach Lumber
company. At the conclusion of the
sale Mr.. Humiston made payment to
the state. All the timber was sold
on the land with the exception Of
that contained on 20 acres occupied
by the Silver King mining property
owned by John P. Violin er of Lewis
ton.
Mr.. Bush and Mgau Daggett left
this afternoon for $Ofoino where a

Lewiston, Ida.. Sept. Is; Lew

percent more money for their Fall

More enthusiasm has developed
than ever before manifested at the
organization of any fall fair and all
indications are that it will be the
biggest one ever held. The Comittee
in charge has fixed it's mark at an
attendance of 10000. All the feat
ures of previous fairs will be includ-
ed with a bunch of new ones. Among
these latter is a suggestion for a
great religious musical and festival

measured the ground from which
the wheat was threashed and it was

that the giound had yesled esghty-

life will be important features of
the program of the Spokane Inter-

attracting and encouraging the men,
bers of the feathered tribe. The
educational features of the show
will be emphasized, and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and the

striking displays. Bird litereture
of all sorts, consisting of bird books,
magazines, government bulletins
and Audubon leaflets will be avail
able for reference, hundreds of
colored pictures and photographs
will be shown, while posters bear
ing striking statements concerning
the economic value of bird life are
being prepared.

SHOW YOUR STOCK
At THE LOCAL FAIR
Thoroughbred Stock in Idaho

The Idaho Swine Growers associa-
tion through it's secretary, E. P.
Rinehart Of Rupert, has issued a cir
cular letter to the members of the
association and all other friends of
the industry, stating that in order to
show the quality OF the swine raised
in the state to outside visitors, and to
encourage those growers who are be-
coming discouraged, the officers of
the association wish to urge on all
breeders of good stock to exhibit at
our local and state fairs this fall.
The letter further states: +
"This has been an uncertain year
in swine growing industry. Because
of unnatural conditions abroad. old
p.ecedents of markets do not hold.
Yet those of our members who have
followed the game for many years
believe the following statements to
be true:
81. 1t is matter of history that
the man who makes money out of
hogs is he who follows the game con-
servatively and constantly.
"2. When it comes to stiff compe-
tition with the east and middle west
the advantages are in favor of Idaho.
"3. The quality of our breeding
stock as we'll as our methods of care
and management have never been
as important in Idaho as now. Just
as the quality of our dairy cattle
must improve on high priced land,
so must the quality of our hogs i'm
prove when the prices of grain go up.
"a. Now is good time to get rid
of any inferior breeding stock that
may be on hand. Idaho has some of
the best and some of the poorest
stock in the world. Good breeding
animals can be purchased cheaper
now than any other time.

The general tax levy to meet state
expenses, the maximum of which was
fixed at 100000, is .0018005519
for the state of Idaho as against a
levy of .OO2116669 for last year to
raise 100000.
In addition there is a predatory
animal tax levy consisting of .003
on sheep and .O00'1-2 on stock.
The total equalized valuation of
the state for 1915 was given at 1885,
672,625. That does not include the
personal property roll, which will
not be available until some time in
November.
The total valuation for 1914 will
with the personal property included,
was $416,538, ,946.28. and it was
on that baises that the tax levies for
state purposes were apportioned.
Though no figures are as yet avail
able on the personal property val
uation for 1915, it is understood
that, even with that amount added
to the real property roll, the valu-
ations for 1915 will be considerably
lower than they were for 1914.
The auditors department had its
worst trouble in the distribution of
public utilities valuations owing to
the act calling for localizing of
valuations in counties whereas the
former law had apportioned the
assessment on mileage basis.
