PLEADED WAY OUT OF COURT
Grangeville Attorney and Friends
Hailed Into City Police Court OH
Speeding Charge

Though a staunch democrat, Judge
Wallace N. Scales, the well-known
Grangeville attorney who is in the city,
objects to the jibes he is receiving
from his friends about the district
court, because he was one of party
placed under arrest today by Chief of
Police Grant Robbins for exceeding
the speed limit. The Judge was not
himself speeding as he disclaims that
kind of a reputation, but the car he
was enjoying a ride in was the cam
paign car owned by Evan Evans of
Grangeville, chairman of the republic
an state central committee. James
Ailshie, Jr., of Coeur dAlene, son of
the former justice of the supreme
court, who is driving Mr.. Evans car,
invited Judge Scales and F. &c G. NC
Gowan for a short spin about the city
The chief thought the car was exceed
ing the speed limit and ordered it to
the city hall. Those in the party de-
clared that Judge Scales disclosed his
celebrated qualities as pleader be-
fore the court, Judge Strong dismiss
ing the case after hearing the Grange
Vile mans plea. Judge Scales says
riding in a republican band wagon
never did appeal to him.

MASTER EXHIBIT
OF FARM PRODUCTS
SUPT. F. M. GUSTAFSON OF ROOTS
AND VEGETABLES DIVISION
ACTIVE
Hopes to Have Best Exhibit This
Year in History Of the
Fall Fair

F. M. Gustafson, superintendent O
the root and vegetables division O.
the Latah County Fair, has already
started to outline the exhibits in his
department, and has been calling OF
the ranchers of the county this week
to urge them to begin now to gel
specimens ready for this exhibits
Much rivalry of a good-natured sort
has sprung up between the various
superintendents, each of whom plans
to make his exhibit the best. Mr.
Gustafson is not behind any of the
rest in stating that such is his pur-
pose this year. He urges the ranch
ers to do their best in his particular
department.
Premium awards will be practical
ly the same as last year for roots and
vegetables. The prizes are enough
to justify any rancher in competing
for them; they make the little trouble
it takes to collect the specimen of
small consequence, and then there
is the educational value of the ex-
hibits. Maybe your neighbor knows
something in this line that you don't;
maybe you know something he does
not. The fair is the place to find
these things out.
Superintendent Gustafson desires
all exhibits in his department enter
ed promptly, and before Tuesday
night, September 10, of fair week.
All of the displays should be up Mon
day, September 18. Specimens must
be brought in in good shape. Table
carrot and potato displays weighing
more than 20 pounds should be
brought in in boxes.

With wheat lowering around 81 and
futtering occasionally a little higher,
and with every report from Chicago
showing an increase, the farmers of
this section are feeling better than
they have for some time. New wheat
has the center of the stage and is
finding a ready market, some of it
having gone as high as $1.06, accord
ing to local reports. The Mark P
Miller company reports the purchase
Of 250000 bushels i'll the last seven
days, $4,000 of which were bought
Yesterday
Because of the suddenness of the
furry, opinions on the next move
of the market are scarce, although
some growers and q few buyers haZ-
ard the opinion that the market will
climb even higher for new wheat. Old
wheat, it is believed, will move soon
at fairly level prices.
Oats have taken a little impetus
from the grain market and are re-
ported moving nicely for this time
of the year. Several cars are loading
for eastern shipment, and several
more have been contracted for. Hay
continues it's record in shipments for
this time of year, although consign-
ments are trife lighter this week
than last.

INTEREST GROWS
|. IN THE MISSION At
|. EPISCOPAL Church
LARGE CONGREGATION PRESENT
LAST NIGHT IN SPITE OF IN
CLEMENT WEATHER.
THE REV. MIR. PARRISH SPOKE
ON "THE PROBLEM OF
EVIL"
MUSIC. BY CHOIR AND coNGRE
CATION, SPECIAL FEATURE
OF SERVICES.

Interest in the mission being held
in Trinity Episcopal church by the
Rev Herbert Parrish is growing rap
idly. A large congregation was in at.
tendance the opening night. in spite
OF the Indictment weather and the CON
gregation last night was still larger.
The Rev Mr. Parrish spoke on The
Problem Of EVIL and held the large
congregation spellbound as he de-
scribed the suffering and difficulties
introduced into human life by evil
and traced 1t all back to It's origin
the will, and then pointed out the
way of the cross of Christ BE not
overcome of evil but overcome evil
with good" as our way OF escape, the
help of Jesus our only help. 1t is a
rare thing indeed that a sermon as
powerful and stirring, and at the
same time so touching and beautiful
as the one last night Is hea d. 1t
was evident that Mr.. Parrish had the
closest attention Of the whole con-
gregation from start TO finish. A hymn
was sung after the sermon and then
the missioner gave a most striking
and enlightening instruction on
Prayer"
No greater evidence of the power
and success of the mission could be
asked than the large congregation
that have been attending these sery-
ices in the face OF the heavy aims
and disagreeable weather. and espe-
cially in the number OF persons who
have in times past been neglected Of
the church and her worship but now
are attending these services. Surpris-
ingly large congregations attend the
early morning service at 73O and
what is more encouraging still they
are steadily growing The attendance
this morning was just. double that
OF Monday morning After the cele-
bration of the Holy Eucharist the sac
rament of baptism was also admins
tered at this mornings service.
The singing Of the old, familiar
and much loved hymns by both choir
and congregation is truly inspiring
The anthem last night by the choir
was Trust We In the Lord" by Sim
per- the solo part being taken by
Miss Elizabeth Hannis. The anthem
tonight will be "The King of Love
NY Shepherd Is" Mr. Parrish will
speak on Some Difficulties of Faith
As announced several days ago It
Is the object of the local congrega-
ton to make this mission not only
selfish benefit to themselves. but
an inspiration to all christians Of
whatever name. and a spiritual bless
ing TO the whole city In view Of that
fact the support and assistance which
many other christian and some Of
their ministers have given both by
their presence at these services and
in other ways TO deeply appreciated
The mission even at this early stage
has accomplished much good and
gives every promise of splendid re-
suits for all.

PROMISED Jobs
FOR THEIR HELP
Grant p. Hall Says He Was Offered
$4,000 Job to Support
Robinson.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. March %.
THAT political Offices are being prom
Used by appointees of the present adj
ministration to collect support for
Judge Robinson in his campaign for
governor was the direct charge made
by Grant p. Hall this week who de-
clared that he had been offered the
congressional nomination in the Sixth
district or a place on the board OF
control at $4,000 per year If he would
support the Robinson candidacy. The
offer was made by an appointee OF
Governor Hatfield.
The charge of trafficking in public
offices was made by Mr.. Hall after
local newspaper supporting Judge
Robinson had attacked Mr.. Hall,
former Progressive. for supporting At
torney General Abe Lilly, a Republi-
can candidate for the goyernorship.
In his reply. Col. Hall. who was ap-
pointed by Governor Hatfield as
member of his personal staff follow
ing the election OF 1912, called atten-
ton TO the fact that Chas j. Schuck.
Progressive candidate for congress
man at large in 1914. was now sup
porting Judge Robinson and that he
was unable to see the distinction be-
tween Progressives.
Can II be possible that | am
worse man now than | was a month
ago?" asks Col. Hall in his letter to
the newspaper which attacked him.
Less than a month ago the sup
porters OF Judge Robinson sent dele
cation to me urging me to become
candidate for congress on the Repub-
lican ticket; not only pledging me
their support. but agreeing to give
me the nomination without a fight.
Also within the last 80 days a sup
porter of Judge Robinson and an APP
pointee of Governor Hatfield offered
me a position as member OF the
board of control and a salary of $4,000
per year if | would support the eandi-
daey of Judge Robinson for governor.
Il am not candidate for any Of
fee, either elective or appointive, and
confess that | fail TO understand
why. If | was acceptable as a candi-
date for congress sand member OF
the board OF control less than
month ago, that supporting General
Lilly's candidacy for governor would
suddenly transform me into an unde-
sirable citizen"
Col. Hall also referred 10 the fact
that as Progressive in 1912 he had
assisted in the election of the Repub-
lican state ticket and declared that a
contribution of $4,000 from the Pro-
gressiye candidate for the United
States Senate. saved Hatfield from
defeat.
