s'Some Comparison"

Dear reader:- Did you ever read
the story in your Bible about the
little fellow who slew the giant with
the jaw-bone of a mule?
Or in modern days of the little
merchant who bucked up against
the big capitalist and skinned him
at his own game?
Now here is a puzzle
Take 20 minutes of your time and
get your NO. 83 Chicago-P Portland
edition of Montgomery Ward cata-
logue, now turn to page II, and find
a white enameled bed, listed as No.
R2269 at $500. Read the descrip-
tion of this bed and see the weight.
The freight on this bed would be
83cents, making total cost of 81 80.
The Kendrick Furniture Co. is
selling exactly this same bed for
$500.
Now turn to the next page, Q8)
and see bed No. R2321 at $780,
this bed would cost you So cents
freight, or total of $2.72 Ia money
order and postage stamp should be
included also).
The Kendrick Furniture Co. is
selling this bed at $2.75.
And then on the next page we
find very fine pattern Of satin finish
brass bed No. R2412 priced at $10.-
35. Brass beds are shipped 1st class
freight so this bed would cost ST. .32
freight. plus 10 cents for money
order, and $1O.35 for the bed, max.
ing total of SLIT.
And just think! The Kendrick
Furniture Co. has identically thi:
same bed in stock and are selling
them for $11.50.
Now you might turn to page 81
and down in the right hand corner
see Dining chair No. R3547 pricec
at $2.3 or $14.10 for a set of 6.
Dining chairs set up come double
first class freight. These 6 chair
weigh 96 pounds so would cos
$2.1O freight, added to $14.1O max
ing $16.20 for the set of 6.
, Do you know what the Kendricl
, Furniture Co. sells this same Sc
: for? Only $3.50.
5 And now once more turn back t.
; page 8 and see a roomy mission

FAREWELL SERVICES AND RESPECTS To THE
REV. G. v. H. SMITH, D.. D. AND WIFE

Mrs. Smith, and as token of their
esteem presented Rev. Smith with
a very substantial check. Yester-
day the ministers and their wives of
South Bend te ldered Rev. and Mrs.
Smith farewell dinner. The Mis-
sionary Society of the Presbyterian
church met with Mrs. Smith Tues
day afternoon. Mrs. Smith has
been very active in this work.
Following the sermon on Sunday
in which his resignation was reluct-
antly accepted, talks were made by
G.. A. Andreen and c. A. Coulter.
The following resolutions were then
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Rev. G. w. H. Smith,
D. D., has resigned his pastorate
here to enter upon larger and more
attractive fields of usefulness else
where, and at his own request his
connection with our people having
reluctantly been severed, it seems
fitting at this time to express our
esteem and appreciation for him
and his family and wish Gods
choicest blessings to rest upon them
wherever they may go.
Resolved, that we sever our rela
tions as paster and people with deer
regret and sorrow, fully apprecia
ting his worth and ability, realizing
that his helping hand has ever beer
extended to the poor and needy
comforting the sorrowing and un
fortunate, giving spiritual advice t.
all, encouraging and assisting al
the organizations of the church ant
!; spreading the gospel diligently ant
J faithfully among those who hav
, it not.
, Resolved that in all his labors a
, mong us he has been ably assisted b,
his talented family, contributing t.
the religious, social and financia
success of his administration, ant
that we heartily commend them t
| those with whom they may in God
/ Providence become associated, an,
that we greatly deplore their de
parture.

and Sunday school superintendent.

church of this city for the past
seven years, preached his farewell
sermon to his congregation last sun
day morning. Besides the members
of his flock there was number of
the personal friends and admirers

of most successful pastorate of
Rev. Smith in this city.
Rev. Smith expects to leave this

the Presbyterian church at Kendrick,
Idaho. Rev. Smiths sermon dealt
with the assurances of Christian
life. He urged the congregation
to be faithful to their church and
to lend even a more active support
to the pastor who is to succeed him.
Rev. Smith was kind in his re-
membrance of the support and the
helpfullness given him by the citi-
zens, the press, fraternal orders and
his friends. 1t has been a charac-
teristic of his life and pastorate here
to speak kindly of everyone and tC
do the best he knew how for those
who needed spiritual comfort.
On Nov. Is, 1907, Rev. Smith wa:
unanimously called to fill the pulpit
of the church he is now leaving

BOOZE SAYS MOORE

Moscow, Mar. 25.-With Especial
appropriation of five hundred dollars
placed at his disposal by the County
Commissioners, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Frank L. Moore will make q
determined campaign against fviolai
tors of the dry laws in Latah county.
MI. .Moore's petition, asking the
board for an appropriation as provid-
ed for in the Act Of March, 1911,
met with favorable consideration at
the session of the board which just
closed. On only one former occas-
ion has the provision been taken
advantage of, when County Attorney
Nisbet had an appropriation for a
like purpose. The Act provided
thataunexpended funds remaining
from such an appropriation shall
revert to the general fund at the end
of the year. By the terms of the
Act, the county commissioners are
authorized and directed to set apart
not less than $1OO nor more than
$1,000 to be used by the prosecuting
attorney as contingent fund for the
purpose of defraying such necessary
expenses as are not other wise pro.
vided for in the trial and prepara.
ton for trial of criminal cases, and
in Investigations by grand jury.
In the absence Of needs for such
fund, the commissioners have not
made appropriations in some years

The split log drag has contr.but-
ed more toward the economic main
tenance of public highways than any
implement of modern usage. It
does not require special acts of the
legislature, bond issues nor expensive
educational campaigns to make it a
vailable as usually precedes construc-
tion work. A drag can be built or
purchased for twenty dollars and is
easily operated by any one who can
drive team. We need more drags
in this state.

ABUSING TIE FEET.

AS a result of an exhaustive study
made by a committee of police sur
geOns in an endeavoT to prevent de-
formed feet among the members OF
the New York police force, the police
commissioner has issued a pamphlet
designed to aid the policemen in Ov-
grooming these derects.
The three conditions most preva.
lent among the New York policemen
were weak feet, fiat feet without pa.
and fiat feet with pain. The most
common causes of fiat feet, according
to the physicians, are improper shoes
and faults in standing and walking.
Diagrams and illustrations are pre-
scented, showing that the policemen's
work Compels them to stand on their
feet or to walk slowly for long
periods, their foot muscles therefore
getting little exercise and conse-
quently wasting more rapidly.
he proper means for preventing
this condition, the surgeons declare,
are exercising the feet and legs,
learning to walk and stand correctly;
and wearing the right kind of shoes.
The shoe in particular Is the most
important factor in overcoming and
preventing these deformities. 1t
should be of medium weight, and one
that touches over its entire length a
ruler laid along its inner side. Point
ed shoes or those that crowd the big
toe outward will cause trouble and
are likely to produce fiat feet.

GAIL ERANKE,s RETURN.

Boone News-Republican: We are
happy to read that Notwithstanding
the thunderings of one Theodore
Roosevelt, OF Oyster Bay, and Victor
hurdock, of Kansas, that Carl F.
FRANKIE, erstwhile chairman of the re.
publican state central committee,
candidate for United States senator
and of recent times prominent as a
bull moose, has returned again to the
republican fold. Mr.. FRANKIE was
early In the split and refused to play
with the republican party soon after
Colonel Roosevelt sounded the clar-
ion horn of revolt, following the last
Chicago convention. He was a very
earnest bull mooser for a time, but
now all that is changed and Carl is
again republican ..
He Is not without company. In fact
the movement of the progressiyes to-
ward the republican party is now
quite nigh universal, though frantic
efforts are being made by a few Of
the erstwhile leaders TO stem the
tide. We welcome Carl back into
the republican party lie may not
get as high position as he once had
with the g. y. p, but Carl was al
ways q good fellow and he will prob.
ably be willing to, take position in
the ranks. take on his coat and get
busy. He is like lot of the rest
of us. He would like to see this
country get back on working basis
again.

KPLINe,s FAMOUS POEM "lFr

KIPLING'S FAMOUS POEM "IF."
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming 1t on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their
doubling too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in
lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to
hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor
talk too wise;
If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and
O. Disaster
And treat those two imposters just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap
for fools,
Or watch the things YOU gave your
life to, broken,
And stoop and build EN- up with
worn-out tools;
If you can make a heap of all your
winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch
and-toss
And lose, and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breathe word about
your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the will which says to
them: Hold on"
II you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose the
common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can
If all men count with you, but none
too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving min

THE BOY CHAUFFEUR MENACE.

Whenever a great tragedy like the
sinking of the Eastland occurs there
is a great hue and cry about inforc,
ing laws. 1t is invariably discovered
that the loss of life was due to lax
law enforcement Then 1t is too late
The damage has been done and can
not be repaired. That is the trouble.
We do not always take preventative
steps until there has been loss of life.
Take, for example, the Iowa law
which governs the operation of auto
mobiles by minors. The law stipu-
lates that no boy under sixteen years
Of age shall be allowed to operate an
automobile. That law is violated
every day in every section of the
state 1t will continue to be violated
until such violation of the law causes
tragedy. Then there will be an
cutlery for law enforcement-when it
is too late
, The average boy under sixteen
years of age who is allowed to run
an automobile may be a competent
driver but there is bound to be ex-
ceptions. The main point, argues
the Dubuque Times-Journal, is that
there is a law on the statute books
prohibiting those under sixteen years
of age from performing this import
ant task The duty of authorities is
to enforce it. They didn't make the
law, hence they cannot be justly con-
demned for doing their duty in en-
forcing it,

BLUE OVERALL TO STAY
Oskaloosa Factory Will Be Able To
Continue Staple Line.

Current rumor has had the story sew
eral weeks that the old time blue ov.
erall would soon be a thing of the
past. The war, it is said has shut off
the supply of indigo with which the
goods are dyed and that soon nothing
but khaki cloth garments would be
nthe market.
This story has been backed up by
inability of manufacturers to furnish
full orders of the blue garments. PriC-
es of Overalls have gone kiting. Fab
ulous prices have been asked for the
indigOs due in stock or obtainable and
the blue cloths have advanced accord

knowledges that there has been
some embarrassment in obtaining in

house is continuing 90 supply their
trade with the old stlye cloth.
Some houses have been using a sub
stitute for the blue garments but the
local firm is still filling orders with the

Just what the future fthe overall
business will be cannot be foreseen
at this time but unless the war is
long lived it is not likely that the
blue dyed garments will go out of ex
