CARE IN SELECTING


From now until next spring farm
ers will be buying farm implements
and farm equipment with which to
work next years crop. In the pur-
chases of any implement the farmer
should be sur that he is getting his
moneys worth, but he should be es-
pecially careful in selecting a wagon.
because he uses his farm wagon more
than any other implement on the
place. Other farm machinery is only
used once in a while, or during short
seasons each year, but a wagon is
with you always, winter Or summer,
rain or shine, the wagon is used almost
every day for all purposes. No other
implement is expected to stand so
much abuse. A cheaply constructed
wagon cannot stand up long under
these conditions, and in the long run
it will be better to pay a little more
and have a good stout wagon, than
to ave a few dollars now by buying
a cheap one, and consequently have to
buy a new one in a year or two.

FEW SIMPLE RULES IN CARING
FOR FARM PHONE WILL
AVOID TROUBLE

No one is more dependent on the
telephone than the farmer, unless it
is the farmers wife, and when the
rural telephone gets out of order it is
a calamity, for it mean isolation
from towns and neighbors. This con-
dition often lasts for weeks simply
because of lack of knowledge as to
the care of the telephone or because
of neglect. By following a few rules
nearly all such inconvenience may be
avoided.
1. Keep the telephone clean inside
and out. Dust and moisture permit
current leakage between wires and
make conversation less clear.
2. Do not remove mouthpiece
from transmitter. 1t is carefully de-
signed to feed the sound waves to the
transmitter diaphragm most etfec-
lively.
3. Do not leave the receiver off
the switch hook, when telephone is
not in use. 1t ruins the dry batteries,
4. If the telephone fails to oper-
ate we'll do not jar OF pound it. This
will do no good but may break a de-
licate part.
5. If the crank will not turn easily,
do not force it. 1t is probably due to
a ground on the telephone line and
forcing it is likely to injure the gen.
orator.
6. The telephone line should be
we'll insulated with glass insulators,
kept clear of the ground and in par
ticular should not touch branches or
leaves of trees, else it will be i'm
possible to talk in wet weather.
7. Pay the central Office the small
fee, in addition to switching charges,
to cover the cost of maintaining the
telephone and line. The attention of
a trained lineman will make good SER
vice possible all the time.

PAYING THE PRICE

We are always paying the price for
the things we lose or gain
Out of this life of mingled ~gladness
and of pain;
And whether we pay for pleasure or
whether we pay for sin,
1t is always paying the price for life,
no matter where we begin.
We say we have had a lot we've en-
joyed and we've shared in the
best;
We sit sometimes with a little dream
of old content in the breast;
And when we look away and think Of
the things that were nice,
1t all comes over us, lucky or sad,
that we've had to pay the price.
The magnate pays it for his, as the
pauper pays it, too;
And the saint pays as the sinner does
and the unsaved have to do;
In all that we have and hold, or in
al that we've thrown away,
1t is sure in the end to come to this
that there was a price to pay.
We pay it for love and peace, for
cheer and comfort and song;
We pay for SHINING and going astray,
we pay it for doing wrong;
In all that we are or seem, in glad
ness or grief or pain,
We are always paying the price for
the things that we lose or gain,

Some Shooter

London, February 10, 1917.-Pri-
vate Bill DATE was recently able to
kill, single-harded, unaided, PIP Ger
man soldiers, and with only a rife
and one bullet. This is how the in
genious trick was executed: While
prowling around the village of Somme
he saw a band of Germans approach
ing. Despite the fact that he had
only one bullet, he was determined
to kill all of them. Getting a square,
thick piece of rubber, he nailed it to
a tree on one side of the road. He
then went to the other side and lay in
ambush with his rifle aimed directly
at the piece of rubber. Suddenly the
Germans began to arrive. AS one
passed directly in front of the rifle,
Private Datz fired at him, and the bull
let went through the body of the SOL
der and struck the piece of rubber on
the tree opposite. Bouncing back, the
bullet went through the body of the
second soldier and landed back again
into the barrel of the rifle. Soldier
after soldier was shot and killed in
this manner, and all that Private
Datz had to do was to pull the dead
soldiers aside to keep them from pill
ing too high. This was kept up until
he had separated life from the entire
212 soldiers. And all with the same
bullet, killing them going and coming.
The brave private was later brought
into the presence of the commanding
officer, who thanked him for his
heroic deed. The board of public
highways, however, criticised him for
missing up the road.

HAVE COWS FRESHEN
IN COOL WEATHER

The breeding Of cows during Sep
TENDER, October, and the first half of
November is not good practice, be-
cause cows bred at this time freshen
in June, July or the first part of
August. At this time the pastures,
heat, and flies cause a marking off
of milk flow.
The best time to have COWS calve
is in October and November as they
will then give the largest flow when
prices for milk products are highest
and are nearly dry when hot weather
comes. To calve at this time, cows
must be bred between December 20
and February 20.

ENLIST AT SUCH A TIME!

A mastering officer, in the early
days of the war, before England was
aroused, says the Chicago News, met
on the street of a coast village a
strapping fellow about twenty-one
years old. The officer hailed him.
"See ere, me lad" he said, "are

UNITED WE STAND.

Every good citizen will back up
the president of the United States
in his final stand for human rights
against German savagery. We hope
it will not come to war. We hope
Germany will not carry out her
threatened wholesale murder of neu-
trails. We hope common sense will
prevail. We hope for peace in the
face of dark clouds that are settling
over the civilized world. But if
German savagery and Prussian OPP
preston does attempt to trample one
inch further on neutral rights. and
does disregard recognized rights of
neutrals, the entire world will rise
up and support the United States in
its stand for humanity. We are
sorry President Wilson did not take
this stand two years ago, and instead
of saying I'VE are to proud to fight, =
and that the United States would
have peace at any price, that this

tain recognized international rights.
We have at last been driven to this
position. Our temporazing and
catchy phrases have been misinter-
preted, and have invited encroach-
ments on our rights. But let this
pass. The president has at last
spoken in thunderous tones that can
not be misunderstood, and the entire
neutral world stands with our country
in holy alliance for humanity.
Civilization is not to be destroyed I'm.

Lewiston for the State Capital. The
State Normal school will suffice for
some time to come for state capital
building, and the Lewiston normal can
be moved to Moscow, combining our ed

done in the interets of economy, avoid
future discord such as has retarded the
growth of our state university and
other institutions in the past, and lay
