ATTORNEY BECKER MOVES
). TO LARGER FIELD.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Becker left for
Lewiston the first Of the week to
reside permanently. Mr.. Becker will
engage in his profession in his new
field, which is larger and more in
keeping with the ability of this able
young attorney. Mr.. Becker is one
of the best attorneys in Idaho to-
day. He will, mark it, one day be
recognized as such, and his sterling
honesty and high sense of honor as
a lawyer and a man bring him the
reward he deserves. There is al
ways the trying years when young
man in any profession must meet
discouragement; he must win rec
ognition; he must prove mis- metal
with the big men of his profession.
And it sometimes takes years for a
young lawyer to climb up far
enough to demand paying prac-
tice. Mr.. Becker has, we trust,
seen the end of that trying period
in his professional career, and may
now enjoy a practice that ought to
come to a capable, honest attorney.
Before their departure a number OF
dinners were served for Mr.. and
Mrs. Becker by friends, and it is a
matter of real regret to their large
circle of friends that they have left

PIONEER CITIZEN DIES.

The death of w. S. Cunningham
at Gilbert Friday night. while not
unexpected, was shock to this en-
tire community, and saddened the
hearts of hundreds of our citizens.
Mr.. Cunningham was 60 years of
Clearwater valley for over 20 years.
He is survived by widow, two
sons and daughter. He was born
in Canada. DR.. w. B. Reese. his
neighbor and friend, conducted the
services. Hundreds of people drove
to Gilbert to attend the funeral and
pay their respects to this man.
Mr.. Cunningham was a man. in
big sense. He was honest to the
last degree. He stood for the best
things in life, and was a power for
clean, decent public affairs. To no
man did he harbor a grudge; his
heart was true, big and sympathet-
ic. He was loyal to his country,
and stood first to render support in
every call during the present war.
As farmer he was one of the pro-
gressive, optomistic, and up-to-date
as leader. He was always one of
the first to promote sound, sane pro-
jects for the betterment of the
farmer, and his kindly, smiling
face will be missed wherever our
| farmers gather to discuss things OF
! interest to farmers. He was honor
ed of men who knew him; he was
respected by those who sometimes
| differed with him. and he was
admired and loved by the men and
women of this county who had
come to know him. He was an up
right, high-minded, conscientious
Christian man, devoted to his fam
lily, loyal to his country, and true
his own best self. We are sure hi
never compromised with his higf
ideals; he never wronged fellow
man intentionally; he tried his bes
to do his full duty to his fellow
men. We grieve with the family
in the hour of his departure for WI
all feel that the loss is to some de
gree community loss; that Mr.
Cunningham was our friend, ou
neighbor. And the influence of hi
life will live and inspire others be
cause he was good man.

The Non-Partisan League Is he
most partisan party in the world;
it stands for class hatred, and If it
succeeds means special legislation
for the farmer to the detriment of
all other lines of business. This is
not "a program that should appeal
to honest farmers. and can result
in no permanent good to the farm
er. WHY? Because the farmer is
just as dependent on the rest of So
ciety as is the heart on the hand or
the eye on the foot. Suppose you
drive all but farmers to the wall!
With whom is the farmer to dc
business? And you land in the SO
cialistic puddle right off the bat

ism, don't vote for socialism under

CHAPTER XIII.

It was a room of silence, save for
the kissing of the green logs that
burned on the open hearth, and for
the slow movements Of Jennings As he

his side, Stephen Strangewey sat
smoking stolldly. Opposite to him. al
most as grim, equally silent, sat John.
Things were quiet at Market Ket-
ton today. then, Johnr Stephen asked
at last.

brief reply.
That, for the space Of a quarter Of
an hour or 80, was the sole attempt at
conversation between the two broth
ers. Then Jennings appeared with a
decanter Of wine and two glasses,
~hich he reverently filled. Stephen
held his up to the light and looked at
1t critically. Johns remained by his
side, unnoticed.
"A glass for yourself. Jennings"
Stephen ordered.
II thank ye kindly. SIR" the old
man replied.
He fetched q glass from the side

before him.
