FRASER FARMERS WILL
RAISE BEANS FOR SEED.

According to Chas. Myers of
Fraser, with whom we talked Wed
rcsday. he is this year to grow 80
acres of Wax beans for seed for
the Mark Means Seed Company of
Lewiston, the grower to get 10
cents per pounds, sacks furnished.
Several others of the Fraser section
are also trying the experiment of
growing seed beans. No place in
the world grows purer, better seed
than the Panhandle of Idaho. and
there is nothing that will pay bet
ter than the growing of garden and
field seed.

FRASER FARMER FINDS
SHEEP AR PROFITABLE.

The Republican has come to be-
1ieve that the one best and safest
line for our farmers is sheep. The
nature of our land, the vast areas
of cheap but excellent pasture, and
the requirements of sheep, all make
for success in and around Orofino.
Nor is sheep an experiment I'm this
county. They have been tried and
proven their value.
Here is the experience of Chas.
Myers of near Fraser. In the fall
of 1916 he made a deal with the
Bank of Kamiah whereby he ac
quired 1862 purebred sheep. The
price was then high, but in Janu
ary, 1918, he sold 100 head for $a2
per sheep, or $4,000, which almost
cleared up his original Investment.
During the first winter he lost IL.
Today he has his 1918 wool clip on
hand, which, added to the 100 head
sold, pays the purchase price of the
flock, and he has As old sheep pure
bred, and AZ lambs, the market
value of which is not less than
$500. Mr.. Myers had no previous
experience with sheep. But he has
succeeded. He has come to know
their value, and see rapid in
crease in the sheep industry of our
county.
The rule is that ten sheep will
live and do we'll on what 1t takes
for one COW or steer. Mr. Myers
figures eight to one, which allows
for little better winter care. But
at that sheep is the one best propo-
sition for most or all of our farm
ers Don't plunge. Begin with a
dozen, and work up, learning as the
flock increases.
The Republican would urge the
Importance of purebred stock. II
is important that one start right
And scrub stock is wrong.
Harry Deal of Grangemont, is
another of our new sheep raisers
last fall purchasing a flock of about
100 head, taking them TO his ranch
back in the tall timber. There he
has long winters, but he is more
than making good, and those who
want to know from the man who
has been thru the mill might dc
we'll to talk with Mr.. Deal Oh
write him at Grangemont. Idaho.
VIM. Pharr of Gilbert is another
who has tried sheep. had some hare
luck, but who Is now making gooc
and also making them pay.

HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY
To SHOW PATRIOTISM

sue of Liberty Bonds is now due.
Many are converting this interest
into War Savings Stamps, which
is reloaning the interest to Uncle
Sam, but giving the investor COM
pound interest. 1t is a fint thing
to do. Let Uncle Sam have all the
money till the war is over. AS fast
as interest comes due buy War Saw
ing Stamps and help that much
more.
The Republican can say without
any fear of contradiction that Miss
Caroline Hartman of Sites, who
served as assistant in the Orofino
post Office until recently was one
of the most efficient in the postal
service. How we got this informa-
tion is not material. 1t is a fact,
and the Republican takes pleasure
in paying public and deserved
Acknowledgement to this fine young
lady. A government official told
the writer that Miss Hartman Is
considered one of the most efficient
postal employees in the country, un-
derstanding the laws, rules and
regulations thoroughly. also the
keeping Of all post Office records.
The way to end this war is to
hit with all our might and keep on
hitting hard till the Hun Is down
for keeps. What does brute care
for smack on the cheek If he Is
able to crafty his thirst for blood ?

Father of Punctuation.

The present system Of punctuation,

but insignificant variations, was intro

century by Venetian printer named
Aldus Manutius. He Is the real father

comma, semicolon. colon, question and
exclamation marks, apostrophe and in
verted commas. Manutius' system was
adopted later by all printers until It
finally established itself throughout
