Some Corn Crop

Here is the best corn crop story
that has come to our attention, but
anyone acquainted with our soil and
the kind of corn we grow will not
question it for one moment. The
story is that one of our corn grow
ers missed one of his boys and
search revealed the lad had climbed
corn stalk to see how the corn
was getting along. But when the
boy tried to come down he found
the corn was growing faster than
he descended. In short time the
boy was plumb out of sight. Three
men undertook to cut the stalk
down with axes and save the boy
from starvation, but the corn grew
so fast they could not hack twice in
the same place. The poor boy was
compelled to live on raw corn, and
at last accounts had thrown down
four bushels of cobS.-Clearwater

Letter From John Mitcham

The following letter was written
to his parents by John Mitchem
from Camp Robinson, Wisconsin,
where he is in training camp with
the field artillery:
September IL, 1917
| received the last one of your
two letters a few days ago and
waited until today, our pay day, to
answer. 1t seems to be pretty much
the same thing here, drill and more
drill. Men are leaving here every
few weeks for shipment to France.
l don't know why they miss US as
our regiment is one of the best
trained in the whole field artillery.
They are dividing up the regiments
and mixing in drafted men so it will
just be guess when we get to go.
will most certainly appreciate,
and be very proud of the comfort
kit that those people from Kend-
rick are sending. will write and
personally thank Mrs. Rodgers and
Opal Thomas, and will send them
my photo if | ever get to town to
have it taken. 1t certainly is most
gratifying to know that one is not
entirely forgotten. l have been
thinking that after l reached France
| might offer to write letter every
two weeks or so to the Gazette,
that the people of Kendrick might
read a letter from the front. Well
as it is about time for drill call
will close so bye-bye.

Good Harvest Conditions

The splendid weather conditions
lately have advanced the bean har-
vest in fine shape and at the end of
this week most of the beans will
either be threshed or in the stack.
The beans are of unusually fine
quality, particularly those threshed
by bean hullers, as they are free
from dirt and fully matured.
While the yield is not large per
acre, the large acreage at the mar
ket price will make it probably the
largest crop, figured on basis of
dollars and cents, that has ever been
harvested in the Potlatch. Some
fields are yielding as high as four
sacks per acre, or six hundred
pounds. About three sacks though,
is considered a good yield this year.
A number of farmers who were
anxious to get their beans threshed
before the bad weather started ran
them through a grain separator but
it proved very unsatisfactory as it
was impossible to keep out the dirt
and straw.

Boys Left Wednesday

A good sized crowd, accompanied
by the band, went to the (epot to
bid farewell to the drafted men
who left for their training camp
Wednesday morning. On the plat
form the band played a number of
selections with even more than it's
usual vim. The train being late
gave ample time for the boys to
receive the we'll wishes of their
friends. Those who went from
here were George Myer, S. L. Wood
ford, J. E. McGhee. E. A. Deobald.

Mill Construction Growing

The Kendrick Warehouse & Mill
ing Company elevator and -four mill
construction work is taking on
greater proportions every day.
The massive concrete girders that
have been built to hold the frame
work of the engine room. between
the elevator and the mill, are ap-
parently indestructible. All the
work being done is Of the same ma
ture and is built to last forever.
The stuccowork being done on the
cupola gives the elevator the ap-
pearance of being constructed en-
tirely of cement. 1t makes the
structure practically fire proof.
The mill is being entirely recon
structed insiCe and when complete
will be one of the most up-to-date
flour mills in the Inland Empire.
Manager Grice believes that ar
rangements can be made to keep
the mill going day and night as
soon as it is finished. This will
give Kendrick a comfortable little
pay roll during the winter.
Strangers when in town regard
the new construction work done
here this summer, with a great
deal Of respect as there is nothing
better in the northwest.

How to Feed Straw

There are a few principles in
volved in feeding straw that must
be observed if the best results are
to be obtained. Instead of turning
the animals loose to the stack, the
straw should be fed in feed racks.
Putting the straw through a feed
chopper adds materially to its value
as food. All straw, being low in
moisture content, tends to induce
constipation. The addition of al
falfa hay or roots to the ration will
correct this tendency. Straw should
never be fed as the sole ration. A
small amount of grain silage, roots,
pulp or molasses in the combination
will aid very materially, especially
when fed to immature animals.
Only bright straw, free from mold
and excessive dust, should ever be
fed. This is especially true where
breeding animals are concerned. A
little attention in stacking at thresh.
ing time will prevent much loss
from weathering.
Of the grain straws, oats comes
first, barley second, wheat third
rye fourth. 1t is doubtful if the
latter should be used for anything
but bedding. Alsike clover is the
best of the clover straws. Oh
the other legume straws, pea straw
takes first rank, followed by al
falfa, and then bean straw.

Let Sidewalk Contract

At meeting of the Village Board
Monday night C. M. Paine of Spok-
ane was given the contract of build
ing the cement walks, curbing and
making the necessary street grading
within the boundaries of the newly
formed improvement district. Mr..
Paine has a splendid reputation as a
contractor and has done paving and
other work in Orofino, Lewiston,
Asotin, Spokane and other neighbor-
ing towns. The bid which he put
in was considered very reasonable
and was by far the lowest of the
three. His bid is based upon the
following figures. for building ce-
ment walks ID cents square foot;
20 cents square foot for cross
walks; So cents a lineal foot for
curbing; 80 cents lineal foot for
combination curb and gutter; COM
mon excavating a cubic yard so
cents; solid rock excavating a cubic
yard$3.70; rock retaining walls a
square yard Sl.65.
Construction work is supposed to
start ten days after the signing of
the contract. This means the work
will be commenced the latter part
of next week or the first part of the
week following. Local labor will
be used so far as possible as the
Village Board had an understanding
to that effect with the contractor.
1t is thought there will be plenty
of work for all local men who de-
sire work during the period of time
necessary to complete the contract.
The sewer will be put in late
this fall or during the winter
months. 1t can be constructed af-
ter the sidewalks have been COM
pleted if necessary, according to a
statement made by Mr.. Paine, but
it is thought the necessary legal
formalities can be completed and
satisfactory bids received in ample
time to carry on the work of laying
the sewer pipe before the contractor
is ready to grade the streets. En-
gineer Biggs says that sewer pipe
can be bought for practically the
same price now as it was listed two
years ago.
Mr.. Biggs will have charge of the
engineering and will represent the
town to see that all work done COM
; plies with the specifications called
; for in the contract.
The estimate as to the cost of the
sidewalk, curbing and grading can
not be ascertained with any degree
of accuracy but it is thought the
total cost will not exceed $4,000.
The estimate of the cost of ahe
sewer is approximately $4,000.

Letter From Don McCrea

Below is a letter from Don Nc
Crea, who is with the 18th Company
of the Coast Artillery, stationed at
Fort Casey, Wash. Don's company
is made up of Everett men almost
entirely and the ladies of Everett
have formed ladies' auxiliary to
the company and they have made it
their aim to see that the boys lack
nothing that would tend to increase
their comfort. They made up a
mess fund of $500 for the company
but the boys have not found it nee
essary to draw upon this fund as
their parents send so many good
things to eat from home. The let
ter in part is as follows:

fort which takes about four hours.
We have new training now or rather
a new schedule. We have two
hours artillery drill and four in
fantry, besides two hours night drill
a week and one hiking day a week.
On Saturday we have field maneuv-
ers and inspection. We will soon
have the bayonet exercises and drills
that are used in France. 1t will
start within week. We are going
in the trenches l guess because we
are assigned to trench mortars and
howitzers.
About October l we are going on
a three weeks hike in the Olympic
Mountains. There we will have
sham battles and all tactics of mod.
ern warfare.
Winter is starting now because il
has been raining off and on for the
last week and as we are exposed tc
the wind here on the hill, it is al
ways cold. We are surrounded by
water on three sides of us and the
winds come in something awful from
the south.

Get the Habit,

Good cheer is great lubricant. It oils all of life's machinery. Good cheer is great producer. It adds wonder fully to on&'s active ability and in. creases mental and physical power. It makes host of friends and helps us to be interesting and agreeable. Good cheer will attract more customers, sell more goods, do more business with less wear and tear than almost any other quality. Optimism is the greatest businessgettcr, biggest trader, truest achiever in the world. Pessimism has never done anything but tear down and destroy what optimism has built up. In the business office, in society, in politics, in workshops, everywhere, the favorite is always the cheerful fellow with the bright smile and bright thoughts.

Monkey Nc Longer Boasted.

The monkey was forever blowing about what 1nan has accomplished. "This descendant of mine," he would say, lis the most enlightened animal on earth" He told of all that man has done, and told it so often that the other animals were sick of listening. Finally some of them induced him to go to a theater. After each act he would say to the other animals: "Those people are my descendants and am very proud of them. None of the balance of you can point with pride to such descendants" At last man came on the stage alone. He danced on the floor; then he jumped up in the air and danced; he sat down and danced; he got himself in all kinds of shapes; he danced things that no one had ever danced before, and few things that no one would ever dance again. Before the man had finished the monkey got up and left the house, and from that day until this he has never once mentioned his descendants. Claude Callan, in Fort Worth Star Telegram.

Figuring coIors of Metals.

A method by which numerical values for the colors of metals has been ob- tained and described recently in for eign contemporary. The metal sample is polished with emery, and is then photographed through blue grass screen. The time of exposure, time of development of the plate, temperature of the developer and all other condi- tions must be reproduced exactly in order to obtain comparable results. The density of the resulting negative is measured in a Sanger-Shepherd densometer, and the result calculated to a scale in which the color value for silver is o and that of copper is 50. The results obtained show that an increase of coloration in the metal does give higher "color figure" but the method can detect no difference between pure and standard" silver silver 92.5 per cent. copper 7.5 per cent and is only just sufficiently sensitive to distinguish between German silvers having respectively 15 and per cent of nickel
