Prosperity May Add
TO Price of Shave

BARRIERS and tailors are scarce in
Bridgeport as a. result of the largely
Increased population, and prosperity.
So scaree have BARRIERS become that
nearly every shop in Bridgeport lacks
one or more men and the weekly wage
has increased nearly 20 per cent. a
The secretary of the BARRIERS local
has been ordered to advertise in New
Haven, Hartford and other cities to
procure needed help in Bridgeport.
Tailor shops throughout the city are
daily refusing orders for suits deliv-
cry of which is demanded within three
weeks and one large shop today told
a reporter for the Farmer that deliv-
cry any time before Jan, Is was near
ly impossible.
That the price of shaves and hair
cuts in this city may soon be advan-
eed to 20 cents for a shave and 80
cents for a haircut. as against the 15-
rs cent schedule now in force, is as
serted by Jonas J. Meyer, who says
that the matter is now being carefully
considered by the union members OF
the boss barber association in Bridge
port.

Clean Up

An Act of 1911 Chapter 12O of
the 1911 Session Laws of Idaho),
makes it possible to compel the
irrigation and railroad companies
and individuals to exterminate noxi-
Gus weeds. Twenty-Five (25) per-
cent of the resident freeholders liv-
ing in regularly organized road
district may petition the County
Commissioners for the determination
of noxious weeds within their road
district. The County Commissioners
then issue an order which the road
supervisor of this district posts in
three conspicuous places. He serves
this order on the owners and super
intendents or managers of property
within this district. The notice re-
quires these parties to exterminate
all weeds named therein on or be-
fore the date fixed in the order.

Juliaetta-Kendrick

Thursday morning on the road
between the two little villages of
the caynon was displayed one of the
strongest proofs that the two towns
had joined hands in boosting for the
Potlatch, when sixty men from
the two places joined in working
the road. Picks were seen flying
from earth skyward and back to
earth, then the shovels soon made
the dirt fly, rakes were in use re-
moving the rocks and high bumps
in the road bed while the brush
alongside the road was cut out to
the ground. Gravel was hauled in
to fill the holes. Well, when noon
came the old road had taken on a
different shape, looked better and
every one enjoyed the ride home
over a much better road than they
had gone over in the morning. This
is the kind of cooperation that will
accomplish the good.

Factory for Kendrick

J. F. Brown of Kendrick visited
Orofno over Wednesday night, be-
ing his first trip to this place since
the completion of the railroad up
the Clearwater fifteen years ago.
Mr.. Brown located a few old land
marks but was pleased to note the
substantial growth of the place. He
helped erect the first frame store
building for Anderson & Holmberg,
which was swept away in the big
fire of 1906, the Orofino Trading
company's handsome brick block now
standing on the same site.
Mr.. Brown has been resident of
Kendrick since 1892 and enjoys quite
an extensive acquaintance by reason
of his activity for many years in
pushing to the front the prodigious
resources of the Kendrick district
at county and state fairs, and as a
result of his efforts much fruit is
shipped annually from that locality.
One of the latest moves made by
the enterprising citizens of Kendrick
and vicinity, as related to the Tri-
bune by Mr.. Brown, is the organiza-
tion of creamery company, which
will make cheese in addition to the
manufacture of butter. Par value
of the stock is S1OO per share and
$4,000 has been subscribed. The
plant can be installed, ready for
operation for SIS, $50. Statistics
gathered before the company was
formed showed that 700 cows are
owned by the farmers in that
immediate vicinity, and it naturally
follows that the dairy industry will
grow and thrive when the facilities
are at hand TO bring profitable and
continuous returns from the product
of the COW.
What Kendrick is doing should
cause Orofino to act along similar
lines. Will she do it?-Orofno

Watch Your Wife

Keep your eye on your wife.
Not to keep some other man from
stealing her-for wives worth hav-
ing are not stealable.
But keep her contented, for that
will help you to keep cheerful.
And to keep her cheerful-for
that will keep her pretty.
To keep her pretty is to help your
self keep your eyes off other women,
very necessary thing for a married
man if he would be happy.
Keep in mind the girl you led to
the altar-for your wife is that girl !;
just as good, just as lovable, just as
sincere, just as honest.
Keep in mind also that you were
ready to do almost anything to get
her-and so you are reminded that
it's up to you to make some little
sacrifice in order to keep her.
Just keep your eye on your wife
and do your share toward making a
success of your greatest business
undertaking-the business of being
happy married man.

What Band Does for Town

The local band is town adver-
tiser. 1t plays the prosperity
march" to the tune of ''Home,
Sweet Home" The town that
boosts its band shall not only by
that same band be boosted, but root
ed and footed as well.
Bands bring people, people bring
business and business brings pros
perity. This is why every town
should get its musicians on the band
wagon. A live band is the sign of
a live town and even the blind can
read the sign.
To many parents the band offers
a solution of the "boy problem. "
1t gives the boys chance to choose
between cornets and corner loafng,
between saxophone solos and soul
wrecking saloons. The band helps
the boys to think we'll of themselves
and also of this town.
Business men especially should
cultivate community spirit. They
need to advertise more as comm un-
ity, even if it means advertising less
as individuals. To compete with
the mail order and other elements
of competition the business men of
our towns must get together, work
together and especially advertise to.

WILL CELEBRATE At
. JUL|AETTA JULY 1873

Tuesday evening at the Hotel Guy
in the little city Of Kendrick one of
the most interesting and helpful
meetings ever held in the town was
held by the Chamber of Commerce.
The citizens of Juliaetta were re-
presented by twelve of their live
boosters. Big Bear ridge was re-
presented by James Nelson and Chas.
Riggles. The supper at 700 o'clock
was served by the Hotel Guy and
it was a splendid one and one that
made everyone glad he was present.
After supper the time was taken up
by short talks from the visitors from
Juliaetta, Big Bear ridge and some
of Hendricks citizens. First thing
presented the club was an invitation
from the Juliaetta citizens for Ken
drick citizens to join with them in
their three days celebration. This
matter was accepted by the Ken
drick people and much interest
shown in the matter. One matter
that came up in regard to the cele-
bration was the condition of the
road between the two towns, which
was taken care of in quick time.
A committee was appointed from
each town to get bunch of men to
donate a half day of work on the
road. The matter of the new grade
that is proposed from Kendrick to
the top of Big Bear ridge was then
presented by Charles Riggles and
James Nelson Of the ridge. The
matter was given special attention
and one which met with the hearty
cooperation of all the business men
of Kenkrick, and their efforts will
be used to help make this grade a
go. The business men of Kendrick
are willing to lend their efforts in
helping the farmers of Bear ridge
in their undertaking and will do all
they can in the matter, a delegation
will be sent before the commissioners
with the farmers of the ridge. Let
those who are not now members of
the Chamber of Commerce make it
known that they wish to join the
club and be a booster for Kendrick
and the entire Potlatch country.
The visitocs from Juliaetta came up
in their cars all decorated with flags
making splendid showing for that
thriving little town, neighbor of
Kendrick. The two towns have
joined hands in boosting for better
Potlatch country.
