Joslin-Wegner

A very pretty wedding was held
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. C.
Joslin, Monday September 4, when
their daughter, Miss Leona was
married to Mr.. Adolph Wegner of
Moscow. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Matney of Kend-
rick at 1890 o'clock.
Places were laid for thirty-three
guests at an elaborate dinner which
was served at noon.
They were accompanied to the
train at 1870 by host of friends,
amid the usual shower of rice and
old shoes. After short wedding
trip to Spokane they will return to
Moscow where they will make their
home.
Mrs. Wegner was one of Julia
etta's most popular young ladies
and has many friends there as we'll
as in Kendrick. Mr.. Wegner spent
number of years in Kendrick and
is we'll liked by everyone. He has
a good position with the Owl Drug
Co. at Moscow.
Aside from the family the follow
ing guests were present at the we'd
ding: Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Rogers,
Uniontown; Mr.. and Mrs. A. F.

Care for Your Land

The acre yield of corn in Kansas
has decreased from AZ to 18 BUSH
els in the last 40 years, due largely
to improper management of the
soil. The same thing could prob
ably be said of the wheat yield of
this part of the country. If the
farmers do not seed their land to
clover or some similar crop in rota-
tion with their grain crops, it will
not be many years until the Pot
latch will cease to be one of the
greatest farming districts in the
west.
Miss Leah Smith of Linden left
for Palouse, Wash. Thursday. She
will teach school this winter near
Palouse.
Some of the farmers in this vicin-
ity have begun harvesting their
bean crop. Ten days more OF good
weather and the bean crop will be
about all harvested.

Some New Spelling

"Ugh" has caused the waste of
gallons of ink and millions of min
utes of time by its needless pres
ence in such words as though and
through; to say nothing of the
stupid and burdensome task of
learning to spell simple word in
so foolish a fashion. This is only
one of the many useless and burden
some spellings, each trifie in it.
self, but really heavy burden on
childhood.
Idaho is getting rid of the COM
monest and most useless of these
extra letters. Some months age
the State Board of Education au,
thorized the use of certain simpli-
fled forms, and the Board required
the publishers of the spelling book
to include the Idaho list of simpli
fed spellings as follows:
l. Use the following spellings fol
these words and their compounds
and derivatives: tho, altho, thoro
thru, rime. draft, and sulfur.
II. In all words where there is ;
choice between

everything you have, so bring it in, if you do
not think that it will win prize-it will help the fair
display. There is long list of premiums to be
given away and you win of them.

he intrepid commander, and the members Of his
crew They succeeded in doing something that never
had been done before. II has attracted worldwide
attention and admiration and opened a field in
commerce and war the full extent Of which merely
can be oonlectued What the practical effect Of the
achievement Of ending underwater merchanman
across the Aant viii be- remains to be seen, for is
a far cry from the FIRST little Holland submarine 10
this new and large undersea craft of German crea-
ton Time also may show that this wonder boat of
1916 is merely the forerunner of other and much
larger boats Of her kind With the path once blazed
for it, science travels fast Germany has bazed the
transatlantic submarine trail In future she will not
travel fl alone Just as all the big nations Of the
earth followed the American lead in the use Of the
submarine for wariiko uses so will all the big nations
of the EARTH including our own, follow the German
lead IN the construction of long range ships of that
type for commercial well as warke uses. II will
be many years until the big undersea liner mas
ceased to be a novelty
II is pointed out at this time that the arrival of the
Deutschland on a mission Of peace, has showed that
Germany has II within her power to send armed craft
of similar design to the United States to harass our
shipping and devastate coast. True. but deten-
sive preparation would far toward nullifying such
menace and the fact that long-range American sub
marines also would be able to operate against Ger
man shipping should not be ignored
For the time being therefore, il will be better TO
regard the Deutschland and other boats Of her type
from a commercial viewpoint and especially as block
ade runners in time of This craft has run the
British blockade successfully The promised Bremen
and others may do it, Under the hest of conditions
however it would require a vast fleet OF such craft
to nullify the economic distress imposed upon the
Central Powers by that blockade and to restore even
a norton of the old-time German commerce that has
been DESTROYED The war will be ended long before
such a feet can be built Meanwhile British French
Russian and Italian ingenuity will exert itself to de-
wise means for netting and destroying these undersea
blockade runners, just they have netted and de-
stroyed many of Germany's undersea lighting boats
Those nations which now have the Central Powers
IN be defensive and which recognize the value Of the
British blockade Will stop at any expenditure to
maintain its integrity That also is something that
should be borne in mind by those who are looking for
such big immediate results from the engineering tr-
umph that Is represented by the arrival OF the

are demanding an appropriation Of
50000.000, to be raised by the sale Of
Panama Canal bonds, and if they can
only secure that pride-saving author
ization they are willing to accept linn
tations on the life and freedom of
operation of the enterprise which viii
make it practically worthless for the
economic purposes which they say
they have in view.
The life of the corporation which
is to build. purchase or operate ships
has been limited to five years from
the termination of the present war
hardly time enough for the govern
ment to get started in the Ocean-car-
rying business. Most ehipyards now
have building orders ahead for two
or three years. Building will be too
slow a process. But the amendments
to the shipping bill just ordered by
the Democratic Senate caucus forbid
the proposed shipping corporation to
buy any ships registered under the
flags of the nations which are at war;
ships now engaged in American COM
merce or ships which through use
have fallen below IS per cent. OF their
original efficiency
There is no great dearth Of ship
ping now. and there will be no dearth
/ AZ all in a year or two. American
shipyards have built 1000 vessels in
| The last twelve months. Government
aid in the way of stimulating con
struction is the last thing our mer-
chant marine needs Within hVe
years some assistance may be requir'
! cd But that assistance can be given
| effectively only by elping our mer'
chant ships to sustain the competl'
tion of carriers under 'oreign flags
many ct them subsidized which can
o, built and opera ed oa a cheaper
labor basis.
The only feature now left OF the
! original government ownership and
operation scheme is the appropriation
clause Fifty millions are to be
spent merely to satisfy the vanity OF
the authors of the emergency
measure of 1914. As it stands, the
shipping bill is simply a misuse OF
treasury funds for purposes of trifiing
national benefit
Congress has its pork barrel bills
its largess for river and harbor inn
provements of merely local conse-
uuence and for unnecessary public
buildings. The s5O.OOOOOO shipping
appropriation is an Administration
"pork barreT-nothing more nothing
ess. No wonder the Hon. James P
Clarke. the chairman Of the Senate
Committee on Rivers and Harbors
, was willing to shake hands over the
barrel head with the Hon William
loci Stone. He was against the
shipping bill when it embodied the
notion of real government partci-
nation in the ocean carrying trade He
is for it now when il means only an

not humanity enough TO care about
the suffering Of the cat. do you think
it kind or even just to inhict this
trial upon your neighbor? Is it
Christian act?
The falsity of this belief that the
cat can be self-supporting is demon
strated by the experience of the
agents of the Society FOR the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals in other
cities and where Animal Rescue
Leagues have been organized And yet
the old and crueh error still obillns
very frequently among peop-e VINO
would be profoundly shocked by the
results Of their own thoughtlessness,
if they were to he confronted with
them.
Therefore. when YOU are making
your arrangements for the summer
absence from home. remember that
the family cat will be exposed to un-
necessary suffering unless either pro-
vision is made for its sustenance or
it is humanely disposed of by chloro-
form.
Will you not do all you can to put
stop 10 this cruelty-cruelty which
is little regarded perhaps, by you
and yet which is the source Of untold
misery?
