OIL WOULD SOLVE IT.

Every summer this town has 1T
siege of dust-just the same as al
her towns in the grain sections
The sprinkling system seems to D'
impractical here, and the disagree
able condition presents quite prob
lem-that is it did. The solution
was offered recently by local citi
zen when be mentioned "crude OIL
"Why not" he said, soil the
streets as they do in Washington ano
numerous other parts of the coun-
try7" And, Why not.
By using crude oil on the principal
streets of the town-especially Main
street.-the dust question would not
only be settled, but the roads would
be made more or less impervious to
water and thereby kept in much
better condition the year round.
What would it cos7 We'll, car of
$3.50 gallons of crude oil, and this is
the minimum size to be had, would
cost on the track at Nezperce eight
cents per gallon, or $500. This
would suffice for two years, and ne
cessitate storage provisions, or the
division of the car with some o.her
town on the prairie. The storage
would cost about $50, but it would
be permanent of course. Then a
sprinkler tank would be required,
and most any old tank could be
picked up at small outlay and easily
provided with sprinkler tube. Then
the spreading of the oil would be a
small item, and this would come but
once year.
Not SO very expensive, consider
ing what the town would get in re-
turn. Most of you have travelled
over oiled roads in other districts.
You know what they are. We can
have them in Nezperce, and this fall,
too, if each one will do his part to
pet them. Talk it over with your
today, and tomorrow let's
do it.

Sugar on the local market is SO cents

The notion, and it is coming te

few years ago seems about to be dis
PEELED by the march of progress in
the arts and sciences. 1t has not
been long since the big manufactur-
ing concern had the little one or two
man shop going, or about gone; and
the workers in these large plants
each produced only part of or a
certain piece of the product, and
none were trained as an individual
to turn out the finished article. In
the east to-day are many small
plants which, by the use of electric
power, are able to better than COM
pete with their mighty neighbors.
Artisans now become operators of
small but we'll arranged mechanical
plants, and use all the most recent
labor-saving devices which are run
by electric motors. Small industries
now share the advantages of the
large ones in obtaining better and
more regular production, thus in
creasing the value of the products,
and the amount of business is aug
mented for the same and general ex-
penses. Cost of hand labor is also re-
duced. For instance, the carpenter
formerly required two days work to
make a simple door, but now he is
able to make ten in the same time by
improved machine tools run on
motors. Three helpers which he re-
3uired are now reduced to one for
he same work. He pays $50 yearly |

The hardest housekeeping in the
world is the housekeeping that peo-
pie do for their neighbors. Half the
troubles we have are caused by
worrying about what people think.
What difference does it make what
they think, anyway? No one can
live his own life and two or three
other peoples lives besides. What's
the use of setting up housekeeping on
the roof or on the outside walls for
the benefit of the neighbors! You
would rightly be judged insane if you
suggested anything of the kind, and
and that is practically what half the
people do. They can't do this be-
cause the neighbors would talk, and
they can't do that because the neigh
bors wonder if they could not afford
to do something else. They may
not say it in SO many words, but
they mean it, and it is simply
great big vacuum in some of our ma
lures where moral courage ought to
be. Half the sting of poverty or
small means is gone when one keeps
house for himself and not for his
leiqhbors.

On Tuesday, September 7, will
occur the annual school election in
Nezperce, when two members of the
board of school trustees will be
elected to succeed Perry w. Mitchell
and Chas. w. Booth There has
been it'll. discussion of this matter
up to the present time, and it is gen.
orally considered that these two
gentlemen will be retained. The
services of lawyer is invaluable to
the board in handling the general
run of business, and most towns con-
slider themselves fortunate if they
have man of the legal profession
who is vitality interested in the up
building of the place and whom they
can keep in the harness as school
trustee. Furthermore, a good per
cent of the Nezperce school money
comes from taxes on farm lands
within the district, and certainly the
farmers are entitled to representa-
ton on the board Mr.. Booth is the
only member of the present organi-
cation who can qualify in this re-
spect. He is certainly representa-
tive farmer and has been one of the
most active and efficient members of
the board during his tenure of such
Office. Both of these gentlemen feel
that they have given their share to
this duty, which must fall on some
one land would no doubt rather be re-
lieved. But this is one of those
Offices which seek the man, and not
the man the Office.

Items That Are Not Intended to Hit
or Miss Anyone But Just to Tell You

That they are due here pretty
soon-the blue-sky peddlars.
That The Herald works for you
day and night and the subscription
price is only 81 per.
That Nezperce consumes more ice
cream during August than anybody

Missouri.
That it takes horse sense or better
to keep out of trouble. Any fool
can get in-the waters always fine,
till you're in.
That crude oil spread over our
streets-as in many other towns our
size would settle this dust question
and help out in the muddy season
too. Think it over. It's practical.
That if I spend all my dollars out
of Nezperce and you spend all your
dollars out of Nezperce, and all the
people spend their dollars out of
Nezperce, what in the thunder will
become of Nezperce. Think about
it.
That just at the present time people
from the country are renting houses
preparatory to moving to town in or
der that their children may attend
school the coming year. Our school
is recognized as one of the best in
the state, and both the school and
the building are the pride of every
citizen in Nezperce.

"Burnlng
Of Judas"
Hin Caster Rite Hmonq
Orlentals

In some oriental countries among the
members Of the Greek Orthodox
church a feature of the Easter fes-
tivities which is never omitted is the
burning Of an efigy Of Judas, the
faithless disciple. To show how firm a
hold the rite of Judas burning has TAX
en- of oriental Greeks the following
story is told:
In Therapia, a suburb of CONSTANT
nople, there lived a poor Greek who.
earned a scanty livelihood as q porter
or messenger or boatman. Every
Easter this man made a Judas efigy
and burnt it on his own behalf and
that Of his coreligionists. The neces-
sary money was got by begging.
The Turkish authorities objected to.
these proceedings on the ground Of
public safety, as, the burning always
took place in a small square in the
workmen's quarter, quite close to- some
wooden barracks. Therefore every
year just before Easter the good nat
ured bimbashi. the lieutenant Of po-
lice, would send for the Greek, who.
was well known to be ringleader in
the affair, and threaten him with Sc
we're punishment if he should burn a,
Judas puppet. The Greek always gave
the same reply, Even if you kill me I
will burn Judas" The following year;
before Easter, the Turkish bimbashf
would Son1 f0 tho Croo1r o~o{r o~1
strictly enjoin upon him that this time
no Judas was to be burnt. But, all the
same, the Greek would get a Judas
ready and burn him.
It happened that the Greek had to
row over the Bosporus to the Asiatic
coast. He hesitated for some time in
view Of the approaching festivals, but
finally consented on the promise Of a
good fee, his money being at a low
ebb.. When he had done his business
on the Asiatic side and was getting
ready to return a storm arose, so that
1t was impossible for him to risk
crossing in his little boat. He gazed
eagerly at the sky, but there was no
cessation of wind and tempest. The
day Of the festival arrived, and the
Greek, taking of. his clothes, made
them into an efigy, stuffed them with
leaves and twigs and there on the
lonely shore burnt his Judas. accord
ing to his usual custom. As soon as
the storm was ove Georgi, for that
was his name, returned without cloth
ing in his boat to- Therapia and told
what he had done. The Turkish BIN
bashi, delighted that for once there
was no Judas burning among the wood
en- sheds Of Therapia, gave Georgi new
clothes and a present of money as we'll.

Caster Bird
q Stories q

A great deal of bird lore is linked
with the stories Of the Passion. There
is a Danish legend that as Christ was
suffering on the cross three birds came
and alighted upon it. One cried.
"Styrik ham! Styrik ham!" Strengthen
him! Strengthen himD, and since that
time the stork has been known as a
bird Of strength and blessing. The
second, it was interpreted, cried, "Sval
ham! Sval ham," (Refresh him! Re-
fresh himD, and the swallow was like
wise thought to be a bird of blessing.
But the third cried, "Puen ham, (Tor-
ture him0, and so from that hour the
lapwing has been accursed among
birds. The Swedish legend is the same,
with the addition of a fourth bird, the
%turtledove, which. flying thither, cried,
"Kyrie! Kyriew Lord! LordD, and
it's voice has ever since been limited to
that single word of lament.
An owl, according to the Spanish,
was SO daZzled by the sunlight it did
not perceive that it had alighted upon
the cross. But as night came on it
saw and. frightened, called "Cruz!
Cruz" Gross! GROSSLY as it flew away.
And from that moment the owl has
kept repeating this cry and has been
able to see only after darkness falls.
The crossbill in an unsuccessful ef-
fort to draw out one Of the nails which
fastened the Saviour to the cross twist
ed its beak and dyed its plumage with
the martyrs blood. Concerning the
robin there is a similar tradition, ex-
pressed in verse, as follows:

Dyed all her tender bosom red.
