The demand for Idaho harvesters
has been nierful, far beyond the
capacity of the Moscow plant to sup
ply. and the one thing the public has
been unable to understand has been
why, if people wanted to buy, the
company didn't make and sell. Well
the company did not have perfected
product until last year, and up to this
time has not been ready to flood the
market. 1t has gone slow, keeping
within its means, avoiding the rocks
on which other harvesting concerns
have gone broke.

Uncle Sam Wants People To Like the Dose?

According to the Lewiston Tribune,
Post Office Inspector FullenWider is
quoted as saying that the citizens of
Orotino are not treating Post Master
Blake right. Well what is the mat
ter? Why is Post Master Blake in
bad with the citizens of Orofno? Be-
cause he has it coming to him, per-
haps, Mr.. Fullewider. In the first
place the people of Oroino used every
possible means to prevent the appoint
ment of P. H. Blake. President
Woodrow Wilson ignored the people.
Going back of this is the fact that
Mr.. Blake had promised the Orofino
office to j. M. Molloy, who paid Mr..
Blake 500 in cash and resigned as
county assessor, position which Mr..
Blake, for reasons we'll imagined,
wanted and got. 1t was a piece of
high handed treachery which the citi-
zens of Clearwater county will not
soon forget, and will be slow to over
look.
But this is not the most serious part
of the case. Mr. Blake has not the
confidence of the patrons of the Orofi-
no Office, for which he alone is to
blame, and leading democrats of Oro-
fino so stated, under oath, for the in
formation of Woodrow Wilson before
Mr.. Blake was forced on this commu-
nifty against its outspoken wishes
If these affidavits never got any
farther than the Presidents secretary,
who, by the way, belongs to the same
church as Post Master Blake, so much
the worse for President Wilson. If
these protests did not reach President
Wilson because he was too busy gala
wanting around the country with
merry widow, and was devoting all
his time to love affairs, neglecting
public business, and P. H. Blake was
appointed in spite of protests from
the people, the people are not to be
satisfied and to quietly swallow the
dose without even making wry face.
Uncle Sam is going to have hard word
re-establishing Patrick H. Blake in
the confidence of the people of this
community, who have had their postal
business placed, in spite of almost
unanimous protests, in the hands of
man they do not trust.
Considering these facts is there any
saropCn, hot a 80 -
go out of town to buy stamps, and
mail important letters at the train?
If any other means of receiving
and sending mail were possible the
post office run by p. II. Blake would
not do enough business to keep five
year old kid busy. And nobody
knows this better than Post Office In
spect r Fullenwider. who says the
people of Orotino are not treating Post
Master Blake right.
On each visit to Orofno the inspec-
tor has called on various business men
who have bought stamps at outside
post Offices, and threatened them with
criminal prosecution if they persisted
in the practice. Asked to point out
the law which takes from any person
the right to buy postage stamps any
place one may choose, and Inspector
Fullenwider cannot give the law.
He has admitted, reluctantly, that
one has right to buy stamps from
any post office in the United States,
and that there is no law to stop it,
Neither is there any violation of law
for drug stores, merchants. editors,
OF livery stables to keep stamps, and
to sell them.

against Uncle Sam, hut there has

When the coffee boils it rises in the

into the open space between the drum

stantly cools it below the boiling point
and it flows back down through the

DEFENSE OF BOILED CABBAGE
Writer Who Appreciates the Delicacy
objects to Its Being Classed
Among the Nuisances.

The decision of the supreme court
of West Virginia that "the wanton
and needless cooking of cabbage and
sauerkraut for the purpose of annoy
ing neighbor is a nuisance" is very
poor law so far as the cabbage is
concerned, because there can be no
such thing as the wanton and need
less cooking of cabbage; nor would
it be possible to annoy any sane per-
son in that way. The redolence that
issues from a kitchen and permeates
the household during the boiling of
cabbage is a great delight. The peo-
pie who say mean things about 1t do
so because cabbage is a modest vege-
table and has too much self-respect to
insinuate itself on the boards of the
aristocrats.
We common people, whom God
made SO many of, and which might
not be were it not so, love boiled cab
bage, not only for its noble self, but
for its tender memories. There is
no happier Renaissance than those
days when the aroma of boiled cab
bage foated through the old house
hold rubbing up against ones tender
sensibilities, almost like a divine
spirit, and telling ones appetite to get
ready for the grand feast a-coming.
