BIG SCHOONER MAY CROSS
IN DEFIANCE OF U-BOATS
Largest Ship of Her Class Ever Built
on the Coast Ready for Her
Initial Voyage

ABERDEEN, Wash.-The big motor
schooner Grays Harbor-the largest
ship of her class built on the coast
may go to Europe after taking cargo
of lumber to South American ports
shipping men said here today.
The Grays Harbor is owned by Gas
ton, Williams & Wikmore, of Whining
ton, Del. She measures 290 feet over
all, with 4S-foot beam and 26-foot
depth of hold She will carry 2,000,-
900 feet of lumber.
The crew on the Grays Harbor Will,
live comfortably as the captain. The
vessel was built to meet the standards
of the seamen's act and has separate
sleeping quarters for the crew, cleo
trio lights, shower baths and mess
room in the forecastle. The entire
ship is electrically lighted, new fea-
ture for sailing vessels.
The boat will leave soon for South
America with load of lumber. At
Chile she will probably take a cargo
of nitrates for New York.

Free Speech


There is much heard these days
about the right of free speech. In
the minds of some free speech means
license to use any sort of language
the speaker desires. This is a per-
version of the meaning of the term.
There are many things that can be
said that no man has a right to say.
No man has a right to use profane or
obscene language that is offensive to
others. No man has right to free
speech when another man is speaking
and by right has the floor No man
has a right to use sedititious or treas
enable language at any time or place
Free speech in the common accept
alton of the term, means the right to
express ones belief ON any subject so
long as he keeps within the propr1e-
ties and does not trench upon the
rights of any one else or give voice to
sentiments intended to give aid and
comfort to the enemies of his country.

Good Roads Notes
By F. c. MCGOWAN

If the grade Is 10 per cent it takes 81.
horses, and If is percent grade has t.
be topped, it requires nine horses. LIE
us therefore seek better grades, ant
reduce the horse power now used tt
move our crops. Horses eat food, ant
food, these war times, means money
Better roads will be the greatest con
server of wealth this county can &C.
quire.
But listen again. This is compar-
alive statement of pulling power on a
level road. What two horses will pull
on good gravel road can only be
pulled by five horses on a loose gravel
or unworked dirt road But this same
load when hauled over loose sand or
mud roads will require 10 horses to
pull it. So you see, even without
grades, your horse power, and conse-
quently your expense increases or de-
creases in direct ratio with the quality
of your road
1t is estimated that over our dirt
roads in our country the average load
drawn by one horse on level ground is
about 400 pounds, whereas ON hilly
ground it is only about 1000 pounds
In France and Germany, on their i'm
proved highways, one horses average
haul is $500 pounds.
Figure this out. 1t costs about all that
five acres produces to support one
horse a year YoYu can reduce your
horse power from one-half to two
thirds by getting good roads with low
grades.
~ b.. You have 20 horses Good !
roads will permit you to get along
with ten. You have. all the produce
that comes off from so acres of your /
farm for yourself. THINK 1T OVER. |

Army Of County Agents
Will Help Solve Problems
Of Producing More Food

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The task o.
maintaining during the war an ample
supply of food will be attacked on &
larger scale by the United States de-
partment of agriculture through a
score or more of projects, under the
provisions of the food production bill
just enacted by congress.
While most of the projects will be
extensions of present activities, some
of them swill represent new underta-
kings, The task Will be to find just
where the country stands in SO far as
the adequacy of the present food sup
ply is concerned, to speed up the pro-
duction of food crops wherever this
can be done, and to stop as many as
possible of the leaks through which
hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of edible products annually is
wasted, The sum of s11,346,400 is
made available for the work in the
food production bill. This money is
for emergency use in addition to the
funds appropriated in the regular ag-
ricultural appropriation bill for the
usual activities OF the department.
The bill also is distinc. from the food
control bill, measure having to do
chiefly with the regulation of the
distribution of food.
One of the most important steps to
be taken in the emergency agricul-
tural work will be the extension of
the existing force of county agents
the joint field employees of the depart
ment and the states who come into
mosr direct contact with farmers.
With the addition of the new county
agents an agent will be situated in
every agricultural county
in the United States, that will cooper |
ate to advise and assist farmers in ev-
cry way possible on matters of pro-
duction, conservation, and marketing /
The number of women county agents
in rural counties will be considerably
increased and other women agents
viii be placed in . number Of tho lar
ger towns and cities. These women

( no matter how high the prevailing
, prices are. The roads will not per-
NIT it Neither can we work on our
farm. Result is, total loss of time
as we'll as possible loss Of high prices.
Note the difference. In Europe on
good roads, rainy days with covered
wagons are chosen on which to go to
market so as to conserve the sunny
days for the needed work on the farm.
SEE THE POINT?
The average cost of hauling our pro-
ducts to market is estimated to be %
cents per ton mile. The haul is esti-
mated to be about 10 miles. Good
roads would reduce the per ton mile
to a cost of eight cents. In other
words, the farmer loses $3.50 per ton
on his haul on our present roads. OF
course, its only yearly loss to the
people of over seven and a half bill
lions of dollars To emphasize our
yearly loss let's put it down in figures:
81, 500 900 900. Some money! And in
10 years it means SEVENTY-FTVE
BILLION DOLLARS. And do you
know, Mr.. Reader, that that us five
times as much gold as has been mined
in the world in the last five hundred
years.

WE NEED GOOD ROADS! ~
Poor mud roads limit the truck far
mer to within three miles Of his mar
ket. Good gasoline-truck roads ex-
tend this limit to 10 miles.
With poor roads from farm to mar
ket there must be undeveloped farms,
high cost of products, poor schools in
rural districts, poverty, ignorance, mi
grafton from farm to city and a long
train of social and economic evils

Two hundred fifty millions, Mr.. Far
mer,-a loss to you, and its repeated
: every year. The question is,-What
are YOU going to do about it?
In the New England states, the per-
|centage of improved roads is over %
and illiteracy is only IL percent.
But in the South Atlantic states, the
percentage of good roads is only 81,
while illiteracy is IL percent. Of
course this does not mean that only
illiterates oppose good roads, but isn't
there some significance in the relation
of illiteracy and bad road conditions?
Is Latah county illiterate? We GER
tainly are lacking in good roads.
What's the answer?
Spokane county In 1909 had only one
and one-half miles of improved roads
Today, in 1917, Spokane has stan
dard trunk road to every little town
in Spokane county with one exception.
The county recognizes that each town
in the county deserves the best of COM
munication with every other town, and
the result is 1872 miles of standard
road in that county at the present time.
The county commissioners of Latah
