81 Sacks of
Beans to Acre
We're From Missouri

Troy NeWs.-Whiles from eight
to ten sacks is considered bumper
crop for beans, the fact that Arthur
Arnot of Little Bear ridge derived
a yield that would average 80
sacks per acre, seems almost un-
comprehensive, but nevertheless it
is true and his neighbors will vouch
for it. This particular patch con-
tained but one-sixteenth of an acre,
and the yield was exactly two of
the regular wheat sacks which are
used in the bean harvest, and which
would make 80 sacks to the acre.
Mr.. Mudgett of Moscow threshed
the beans and is ready to verify
this claim. The variety is known
as the bird egg bean, being speckled
and shaped much like small bird
egg. 1t is said that there is still a
little land for sale on that ridge,
but if anyone wants it they will
have to hurry. The beans are said
to be superior to all other varieties
for all round purposes and are of
excellent quality.

Support The "Movies"

The moving picture firm by the

their machine now so they are able
to get better results, the pictures
are better and in short time the
electric light system will be running
so that they can use the juice, then
the pictures will be still better.
For long time you have heard the
people say, "lf we could only have
a moving picture show in town so
we could go, it would be fine. y
Now we have the show and it is up
to the people to support it. 1t takes
away the cares of the day and
places your mind in a good condi-
tion SO you can go home and sleep
as you should. Let everybody in
town and country attend these shows
so that the boys will be able to con,
tinue. They are doing everything
they can to make il d success anC
give the best pictures on the roaC

Where is The
Rock Crusher?
Why is it Not Here?

Some time last spring our citizens
were up in arms about the roads in
this section Of the county and es-
pecially about the road running up
the Potlatch to Cedar creek. Sev-
eral of the business men of Ken
drick and farmers from the ridges
went to Moscow and went before
the commissioners to see if the rock
crusher could be brought down to
Kendrick and put to work. The
county commissioners told the dele
cation that if such was the wish of
the people in this section, the crush
er would be sent down to Kendrick
to crush rock to put on the roads
this summer.
Now that has been six months
ago and the crusher is not any
closer than it was in the beginning.
What is the matter? Have the
people in this section got cold feet,
and want to ride over these rocky
roads another year? It is good for
the rubber and steel factories but
not for the farmer and business men.
Every section in the west is Great
ing new road districts and raising
money to build better roads.
What is the matter with the Pot
latch country? We are entitled to
good roads and let's have them. If
the people show that they want the
roads, the county will put the
crusher here and the roads will be
built. Farmers have been asking
the Editor what has become Of the
crusher. We will say that the
bunch has cooled down and are TAX
ing vacation and it is time that
we were waking them up.
