Gypsy Bands

II read more small-town and

I'm newspapers from at least
twenty widely separated sections
of the country read reports of
rowing bands of gypsies which
are nothing more nor less than
packs of robbers. The women

that their sex protects them

Did A Big Business

The Cooperative Elevator &
Supply Co. held their annual
"prorate" business meeting last
Saturday and in connection big
basket dinner was served at the
Court House to the stockholders
and their families and a hundred
or more were present and par
took of a most delicious dinner
Just such as the good wives of
Meade county are capable of
preparing. Mrs. Tom Gray and
Mrs. J. ]. Stalder had charge of
the dinner which was a guaran-
tee that everything was served
in the most up-to-date manner.
These ladies are especially fine
coffee makers and notwithstand-
ing this exhilerating beverage
was served in new tin cups it
was fit for the Gods. Now for a
good old fashion dinner and good
time sit us down to Just such a
meal as this--in our opinion it
beats old Delmonica ten to one.
After all had eaten and been
filled the table was cleared away
and preparation for the after
noon business was made.
For the past year the Coop
erative Elevator & Supply Co.,
it appears have been dong big
business and not only the stock
holders but orators were "dying"
to know just how lot of farm
ers would conduct business all
their own. The report shows
that the company have been re-
markably successful-in fact
much beyond their expectation
and a feeling is now abroad that
the farmers are wholly compe.
tent to conduct a business OF
their own and at the same time
make a good per cent on their
investment.
The prorate report was made
by the Secretary and showed a
business transacted the past
year of $500, 900 on which was
declared dividend of 81 per
cent.
The amount credited on stock
of the stockholders of the Meade
Elevator was $4575 and amount
paid in cash $4,000. On the Mis-
sler Elevator there was $S415
credited on stock and cash pay
ment making in all our S11, 500
disbursement.
Now, if this isn't good show
ing we would like to know what
you would call it. The News
congratulates the farmers on
their success and hopes the COM
ing year may even be more sue
cessful.

Meadeites on a Lark

II WC.S JO)OuS3 hoPPJ
that left Meade Tuesday late IN
the afternoon to show the trio OF
literary friends who are on a
walking tour to California, Mr..
H. r. Walmsley, wife and their
sister Harriet u. Andrews who
is the historian of the trip 'and
who writes for the Sunday Kan
sas City Star of the country peo-
pie, and their trip. She writes
such interesting, sharp, snappy,
newsy articles that it attracts
the attention of all who chance to
see her writings.
Mr.. Walmsley is also writer
whose articles find ready mar
ket with the leading periodicals
and Scientific Journals.
The Meade crowd bent on
showing these people the beaut-
les of this the best county in
Kansas, (and of this statement
we demand no proof
We started northward and in
a few minutes arrived at the
splendid home of B. f. Leach
where we all met the usual cor
dial greeting that they are SO
proverblal for bestowing on all
who are so fortunate as to 60
their way. Mrs. Leach and her
daughter and daughter-in-law
received this joyous jolly crowd
assisted by Mrs. Robt. Harper
and Mrs. James Hall, and in
stantly all were easily at hom e.
vollies of wit and good natured
intellectual joshings fioated from
hostess to guest and vlca versa
After a few minutes of levity
Miss Lucille Leach was solicited
by all and took her place at the
piano, and Oh! what a treat. Her
rich we'll trained voice, coupled
with the n4sterly manner She
handled the keys, was an en-
chanting surprise to all, espec'
tally the strangers in our com
pany as shown by the express
ion of their faces. After the
rendition of several selections
called for by the pleasure seek
ers all cheered this Nightengale
of Artesian Valley, pronouncing
her work wonderful, enchanting
and sublime. After this feast
Mrs, Leach assisted by Messrs
Harper and Marshall and her
daughters served a dainty APP
petizing, toothsome lap lunch and
during its partaking all were
merry with the sallies of wit and
humor passing from one to the
other. Then the kodak was
brought forth and pictureswere
taken.
With hand shakes and good
byes to Mr.. and Mrs. Leach and
their daughters we recared.
The jolly gang departed for the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Marrs, and again were received
with true western hospitality,
and what a revelation greeted
this merry, happy crowd. Ar
tesian wells, fish of many hues
and color and also of various
nationalities, kinds or species
or whatever should describe
them: Then ducks of all, yes,
turkeys, chickens even to one
that was plucked and drawn
ready for the oven, garden
sass" of all kinds growing in
such vast quantities it looked as
though that garden would sup
ply all this southwest country,
and while we we're looking at the
many varieties one young lady so
innocently inquired if the pota-
toes grew on the vines like GU
cum bers.
Then to the orchard, cherries,
plums, and peaches galore. Oh!
what panorama of good things.

John M. MCGEE, the we'll known
manager of the Nezperce Telephone
Co., and Mrs. Charles Dorset, one
of the operators at the Lewiston ex-
change, were severely hurt in an
auto wreck on the Lapwai hill Mon
day afternoon. Mr.. MCGEE, who
sustained broken nose and severe
bruises about the face, is able to be
out, but Mrs Dorset is still confined
to her home with broken rib and
collar bone.
Mr.. MCGEE and a lineman, E. R
Burns, were called out on the line to
make some repairs, and on leaving
the central office in a car asked
Mrs. Dorset, who was just going
off duty at the switchboard, if she
would accompany them for the ride.
When they were dropping down the
steep Lapwai grade they encounter
ed badly washed rut and the car
was thrown over the bank and Mr..
MCGEE and Mrs. Dorset we're caught
under it. Burns, who was riding in
the front seat with MCGEE, was not
hurt, and after assisting them from
their perilous position, he phoned to
Lewiston for assistance, which quick

Progress on New Hotel.

The plumbers have the heating
plant and water piping installed in
the new hotel building at this place
and the wiring for lights is about
completed. This has been, to the
casual observer. a slow, tedious pro-
cess and does not make much show
in the general progress of the build
ing toward completion, but it was a
part that had to be done and other
work had to wait for it. Now that
this feature is out of the way, the
further completing work will make
much more of showing in the ra-
pidity of its progress.
The plasterers will start their part
of he job Monday, and the carpen-
ters will soon be on the job again at

McCollister Gives His Side.

Mr.. Editor:
noticed write-up in The Heralt
about Bishop Hoskin's lecture a
Mohler recently, in which my nam,
was mentioned in connection with
questions asked the Bishop, and
ask space to give both sides of the
matter.
They had revival at Mohler and
two or three confessed then the
bishop came and delivered several
lectures. I would not have attended
these only my Christian friend and
neighbor invited me and under the
circumstances it would have been
selfish and bigoted on my part to
have refused. l went and, believe
me, we all behaved like friends and
neighbors, and when the contribution
cap was passed we showed there was
nothing small about any of us.
l was introduced to the Bishop and
found him an able exponent of his
creed, and i'll our friendly converse.
ton he told me he intended to have
question box. gave him several
typewriter questions and it seemed
to raise his ire. | was notified that
on Sunday he would expostulate on
questions and l attended and got the
usual salutation, "that any fool could
ask more questions than a wise man
could answer in all eternity" One
of my questions was, eff God made
everything, was He not as responsible
for the acts of the devil as the devil
The learned Bishop
replied that "the reason God didn't
kill the devil was because it would
leave SO many orphans. This made
laughter for both saint and sinner at
my expense.

WEEKLY WAR news
Continued from page 81

Tuesday-Quiet reigns in France
and Flanders, while the hundreds of
thousands constituting the fighting
forces all over in Russian Poland,
the Corpathians and East Prussia
seem still to be dead-locked in SER
les of desperate engagements that
have lasted for weeks past and re-
suited in great loss.
Wednesday-In Poland and East
Prussia steady fighting continues
along fronts extending over many
miles, the very length of which and
the vast number of men contending,
make it impossible to estimate the
value of the small advances or re-
pulses at various points with respect
to the final result.
The Carpathians and the crown
land of Bukowina claim most atten-
ton in the campaign in the eastern
war zone. The battles in the Carp
athian hills are of desperate char
acter, but without decisive result,
while latest results indicate the with
drawal of the Russian forces in Buk-
owina.
In France and Belgium there is a
period of comparative calm, altho in
the Argonne the Germans have made
several advances.

Ancient Manufacture of Copper.

The ancient Syrians and Phoeni-
clans are well known to have been
active traders in copper, and they
manufactured this metal into bronze
by melting it with tin. Learned an
tiquaries assure us that the Phoeni-
clans actually came to England and
to Ireland in search of the tin for
this purpose, and some years ago
some curious bronze articles were
found in several of the old mine
workings in Cornwall, which are be-
lieved to have been left there by
that ancient people at time when
no bronze was either made or used
