PINAFORE PLEASED PEOPLE.
Home Talent Production introduced
New Talent to the Public.


Pinafore, the opera produced by
home talent for the benefit of the A.
E. church Monday night. was sue
cess in every way except from the
box office viewpoint After the ex-
penses We're paid there was no "bene-
ht" remaining. The receipts were
about 800. but the expenses practical
ly if not entirely consumed these. So
successful was the presentation. how
ever. that Director Robinson has been
requested by the American Falls Wo-
mans club to return and put ON the
"Mikado" under the auspices of the
Womans club
The characters taken by some of
the performers did not give them iati-
tude to display their abilities 10 the
fullest extent. As members of the
chorus they showed to the best ad-
vantage showing what a little train
ing Will accomplish.

swain, had the leading roles and about
all the opportunity outside of chorus
work. 10 show what they could do.
c. G. ThOrnhill's comedy was buried
under a minor part, and T. E. ST
Johns disguise could be penetrated
with difficulty. In fact. not half OF
the members Of the cast were recog-
nized by most of the audience.
First hOnors were divided. by pOpu-
lar opinion. between Or. SchiltZ as
Dick Deadeye. and C. s Wennstron
as Captain Corcoran. Their parts
gave them latitude. and they measur
ed up to the opportunity. J. Wesley
I Miller made an excellent representa-
ton of a pOmpous. bigited cabinet Of
hcer, who fully appreciated the dig
nifty of his position. Mr.. Eggers, Mrs
Bullock. Miss Davie. and Messrs. Do

MORE PEA GROWERS.
Number OF Farmers VIII Make Test
of Peas.


Last year County Agent Kjosness
had only a small number of pea dem
onstrators This year the number is
largely increased. and among them
are the following:
o. W. Hall is seeding ten acres Of
Admirals on his irrigated farm in
Fairview.
f. E. Geesey. also of Fairview. will
have six acres of White Canadians
and one acre of horse beans.
Frank Kluck. Jr.. east of town. is
putting in an acre of Kaisers on dry
land.
Mr.. Carpenter of Prosperity pre-
cinct. will have three acres Of Kaisers
Mr. Carpenter is a recent arrival from
Colorado and it is understood has had
some experience in growing peas and
beans.
Mr.. Wiloxen Of Cedar Creek is seed
ing an acre to White Canadians.
c. W. Stier of Fairview is seeding
peas as a nurse crop for alfalfa. and
will probably become an alfalfa seed
grower.
Eight acres on the Blackstone ranch
have been seeded to alsike clover.
w. H. Philbrick will try two acres
of horse beans on land near Aberdeen.
/ The horse bean is a variety Of vetch,
nitrogen producer and soil renewer
The bean produced by this plant is
about the size of a quarter, and is
good food for livestock.
Mr.. vollmer. near the Yarnell place
is growing five or six acres of peas
under contract with one Of the St
Anthony seed houses.

ANOTHER BEAN GROWER.
G. 5. Butler viii Try Several Acres
OF Tepary's on Chalky Soil.

In the middle of G. S. Buffers wheat
field is a patch of six or seven acres
of chalky soil where the wheat winter
killed. He read in last Fridays is
sue of the Press about the successful
growing of tepary beans on the dry
farms in the PalOuse country, and de-
cided to try them on this vacant part
Of his field. He conferred with Coun-
~ Agent Kjosness, and as a result
of so doing seed has been ordered from
Colorado.
Mr.. Kjosness believes that beans
will be a successful crop on soils OF
This nature, and at the time restore
nitrogen to the soil. but he does not
advise farmers to take it for granted
mat beans will be a success and go
beadlong into their growing. He fav-
ors trying them out first. In such
cases as those Of L. c. Arnold and
Mr. Butler. where the land would
otherwise be idle and unproductive
nothing can be lost except a little
seed and a little labor, and it is worth
while to make the experiment. These
two fields will serve as a demonstra-
ton and be a guide for the future.

CHANCE NAVY FOR Young MEN
Ambitious Youths willing to Try Can
Reach Top OF the Ladder.

In recent legislation congress mas
authorized the appointment OF one
hundred enlisted men to the naval
acadme at Annapolis each year where
they will be trained as officers. This
is a wonderful opportunity for young
Americans who have the necessary
mental and physical qualifications and
age.
To secure this prize it is necessary
that young men enlist in the United
States Navy and serve one year as
an enlisted man. He then becomes ell
igible TO apply for the examination
provided he is under twenty years
of age The examination is strictly
competitive and the best man wins.
no appointment from congressman is
required and influence. political or
otherwise. is of no help. Each boy
stands on his own merits. The scope
of the entrance examination is about
equal to a high school education 1t
is not necessary that a boy have a
high school education however, as
schools are maintained on all ships
stations where officers are detailed as
tutors and where boys are prepared
/ for examination. This is a much sur
er way of entering Annapolis than try
ing to secure an appointment from
civil life.
For the man or boy who has not
the necessary qualifications for Ar
napolis the navy contains many op
portunities also. Advancement is rap
id for the ambitious and stud;ous. Fol
further information apply to the near
est recruiting station for the navy.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man.
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or -callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire eorn or
callus, roo and all, dries up and can
be lifted of with the fingers.
This new way TO rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shriyels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.

Build Vast Artificial Lake.

A remarkable engineering feat was
recently accomplished in southern
India when the mammoth artificial
lake of Marikanave was completed in
Mysore-an Indian state twice as
large as Maryland, ruled by an en-
iightened and progressive maharaja. 1t
is IL miles long and has an area of 80
square miles. The dam thrown across
the gorge-24O feet wide-to impound
water that formerly ran to waste and
is now being utilized for i~rrigating
land that would be otherwise parched
and barren, is 1880 feet long, 1852 feet
high, and Is feet thick. A weir 40
feet long has been built to discharge
excess water, which, during the mon
o is heavy. The work was initial
ed and finished by Indian engineers
and is a monument to their engineer
Ing skill, as it is a credit to the gov
eminent of his highness, the maharaja,
who furnished the money for it-$1,-

A Queer Coincidence.

It is rather a remarkable coinct-
dence that the birthday of George
Washington is also the natal day of
August Ferdinand Bebel, "the Red
Washington" of Germany. Bebel's
birthday was widely celebrated by So
cialists during his life, but since the
war the German government has
sought to suppress all memories Of
the teachings of the arch-foe of the
Hohenzollerns. For 20 years before
his death, in August, 1918, Bebel con-
tinuaIly asserted that the Prussian
rulers of Germany were planning a
great war, and he called upon his fol-
lowers to meet the declaration of hos
1tilities with a counter rebellion which
should drive the Hohenzollerns from
power.
A Saxon, Bebel had all the Saxon
hatred for Prussia and all things Prus-
sian, and a bitter, relentless hatred
of Prussian kings. The great ma
ljority of Bebel's followers are now in
the camp of Bebel's greatest enemy,
but it is safe to say that if he had
been granted a year more of life the
Red Washington with the hooking
lips and burning eyes would have
stood by his guns to the last.
