Garry Disease

A resident of Iowa, who tacitly
admits that he has been a patron of
the mail order houses, has opened
up an entirely new line of thought
in connection with these concerns,
in a communication sent to his
home paper wherein he submits
that the causes for hitherto un-
traced diseases may we'll be charged
to the catalog houses who take back
goods, particularly clothing, dresses
ETC., as being unsatisfactory to the
purchaser, after they have prob
ably been tried on by all sorts and
conditions of people.
He calls attention to the fact
that nowhere in the catalogs of the
mail order houses do they agree to
ship new and unused articles, and
that from the first page to the last
no mention is made of any system
of fumigation for the thousands of
packages sent back to them although
they have been sold to people living
in the most filthy novels of Mexico,
or in the "black belt" of the south
and returned for various reasons.
The letter to the editor of the paper
was called forth by the epidemic of
infantile paralysis, several cases
having been reported in Iowa for
which physicians could not account.
This is new angle to the mail
order menace, but it can very read
lily be seen where the Iowa man has
good ground for his contention,
when it is considered that most au.
thorities now concede that a major.
ity Of the diseases with which hu.
manity is called upon to cope are
caused by germs of various kinds
No mail order customer has any
assurance that he or she will gel
new, fresh goods when ordering
from the catalog, and the articles
they buy may well have been prev
iously tried on or examined by per
sons afflicted with some dread com
municable disease. West Trade.

Peterson for Probate Judge

L. G. Peterson is Hendricks can
didate for Probate Judge. This
Office is one that comes very close
to the people who are in dire dis
tress because the hand of affliction
has been laid heavily upon them.
Death has entered the family and
has taken its chief. Provision has
been made to have the estate that
has been left behind properly ad-
ministered for the benefit of help
less ones, widows and orphans, and
here is where the Probate Judge
comes in. His most important
duties are found in the settlement
of estates of deceased persons.
This is an important trust and
should be given into the hands of
no one who has not stood the test
of the most far reaching honesty.
Mr.. Peterson has stood this test
and he appears today before the
voters of the county untainted. AS
rising young lawyer he has never
been connected with shady trans
actions of any kind and is, as he
always has been, an upright Chris
tian gentleman. He is the kind of
a man that the widow or orphan
could implicitly trust at all times
and under all circumstances Think
of this when you approach the bal.
lot box, and remember that, aside
from the moral attitude of this
candidate, he has had a technical
training in the law so that he is
more than we'll qualified to admin.
lister the affairs of the office of Pro.
bate Judge. There is no reason
why we, his townsmen, should not
give Mr.. Peterson our undivided
support. 1t seems at this writing
only reasonable to say that Lataf
county's next Probate Judge will
hail from Kendrick.

Home Made Silage Cutter

c. c, Blackburn has a little
blacksmith shop on his ranch in
Brady Gulch and if there is any
thing in the way of iron work that
he can't do it is something that he
hast tried yet. He keeps the shop
for his own convenience and makes
about everything in the way of
tools and farm implements that he
uses on his place. He made nearly
all of the tools in his shop even to
his drill bits. Some time ago he
made a grist mill for grinding corn
meal and it worked fine. He even
cut out the mill stones from solid
pieces of granite which he found
at the mouth of Cedar Creek.
His last piece Of home made ma.
chinery is silage cutter which he
made from some pinions and old
irons taken from an old style Nc.
Cormick reaper. The cutter is to
be run by a horse power and Mr..
Blackburn says it will cut corn as
fast as one man can feed it. He
will begin filling his silo the latter
part of this month.

WILL
NOT HOLD FAIR
Will Send Representatives to
Other Points

Decision has been reached by the
board of directors of the Lewiston
Charleston Fair Association to can
eel the plans for the 1916 annual
fair. Lewiston held a Fourth Of
July celebration this year and will
give the big annual stock show
this winter so that instead of hav-
ing the fall fair, they will join
with the outside communities and
help make their fall festivals
success.
The Tribune says that Lewiston
plans to organize larger delegations
than ever before sent out of Lewis
ton to attend the fairs to be
held at Moscow, Cottonwood, Oro-
fino, Kendrick and other points.
They intend to provide such stunts
that the fairs will know that Lewis
tor IS with them and they will be
liberal in their patronage of every
thing that the fairs have to offer.
The lewiston Charleston fair has
been a big annual event for the
central Idaho and eastern Washing
ton region for Is years and has
been recognized as one OF the most
successful fair organizations in the
northwest. 1t is explained that the
men who have been identified with
the lewiston Charleston fair man
agement during these many years
would willingly give all possible
assistance to the fair organizations
at outside points.

The Dream Farmer

We met friend the other day,
and he was mad. He had been
running grocery store until this
spring. Now he is running farm.
Life on the farm doesn't look as
rosy to him as it once did. He is
sun-blistered, chigger-bitten and
discontented. He says he finds it
hard to sell enuf milk to buy cow
feed, and his hens insist on eating
regularly and most of the time
they forget to lay eggs. He be-
lieves he will get job on the road.
This sort of disillusionment is COM
mon enuf. All the towns and cities
are full Of dream farmers-back-to-
the-landers - who feed themselves
with vain imaginings. The farmer
is the only independent man, they
say. 1t does not cost him anything
to live. Nothing at all. Every
dollar he takes in is just so much
clear profit. Things just grow in
to money while he sleeps. 1t is the
rosiest of all dreams. Fortunately
for them and the rest of us, most
of the city dream farmers stay
where they are. They never wake
up, because they never move to the
country and experience the stern
reality. The fact is, of course,
that it takes farmer to farm sue
cessfully. The barber and the
bookkeeper and the ribbon clerk
will do much better as rule if
they confine their agricultural work
to the imagination. An inexper-
fenced and uncapitalized urbanite
can come to the farm and be happy
and prosperous. He has been
known to do it. But it isn't the
rule. Farming is a mans sized job
and the man who believes it to be
a rosy dream is apt to have a sad
awakening.-Farm Life.

Woody for Commissioner

For six years John L. Woody has
been one of Latah County's most
efficient Commissioners. He has
served his district and his county
with zeal bordering on enthusi-
asm. To the county's business he
attends with the same promptness
and efficiency that he gives to his
own. A prosperous and successful
farmer in all the name implies, he
thoroughly understands the needs
Of his fellows. Through his entire
official career no one can say that
the county's business has suffered
through the inattention or neglect
of Mr.. Woody. The above every
voter in his district clearly under
stands.
There is a matter, however that
is not generally understood for Mr..
Woody is modest man and does
not boast about his achievements.
There is in existence a state organi-
zation of County Commissioners
that meets at the Capital City once
each year. It is not generally
known that Mr.. Woody is the presi-
dent of this organization, a signal
honor conferred on him by his as
sociates. He also fills this honored
station with credit to himself and
honor to his county.
He is strictly an up-to date Coun-
ty Commissioner. His honesty, his
integrity, are and always have
been above suspicion. The voters
of this district should not only re-
elect Mr.. Woody but should make
his election unanimous. Latah
county today stands in the front
rank among the counties of the
state and it must be kept there.
This is clearly business PROPOSE
tion that confronts every voter and
he must see to it that his ballot con.
tains the name Of John L. Woody.

Harvey Roberts is putting in g
number of substantial improve.

a concrete watering trough built.
F. A. Wallace did the work. He

but that he will make a success OF
the business.

Postoffice Robbers Caught

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 23.-Frank
Hays, %; James Donovan, 4S, and
F. c. Bradley, 80, have been ar
rested by the police and will be
charged with blowing the United
States postoffice safe at Marcus,
WASH, and stealing $500.
The three men are believed by
the local postoffice inspectors to
have robbed the safe of postoffice
station No. 9. at the Blodgett Mer-
camille company in Spokane, the
postoffice safes at Deary, Idaho, at
Kendrick, Idaho, and several others
from which a total of nearly
$4,000 was stolen in the last six
months.
Hays and Donovan have been
identified by Foreman Hammond OF
the National Iron works as the two
men who visited the works about
six months ago and had an imple
ment to remove knobs and locks OF
safes made. Bradley has admitted
to the police that he pawned a gole
watch, which Police Clerk C. o
Bell identified as one stolen from
Deary when the postoffice was rob
bed.
