FACTS ARE FACTS.

Run the Orofino Tribune into a
hole, confront it with the uncontro-
vertable facts and proof. and 1t al
ways tries to escape by some sort of
personal attack on Mr.. Becker OF p.
l.. circuit or T. ]. LaForest or any
other republican that comes handy.
The fact this time is the Orofino
bridge. Facts are stubborn and can
not be downed. Fact one is the pres
ent condition of the bridge. 1t is not
standing up; its foundation piers
are giving way. Fact two is that II
they settled they were not put down
deep enough to start with.
What has the brand of socks worn
by p. L. Orcntt got to do with these
two facts? What has the sandwiches
and coffee and the Odd Fellows goat
got to do with it?
Fact three is the graft under the
camouflage, or pretense, of buying
plans and specifications. Fact four
is that high water washed the gravel
away and let two of the piers settle,
one more than three feet at the south
end, and the other several inches.
Fact fve--$3.600 was thrown a.
way in repair for lack of competent
management. Fact, "a six mill
highway tax and no roads.
The price Of prunes or the color Of
Mrs. Murpy's pups eyes will not dis
pose Of a single one of these facts.

the impression that the government

Why is the Tribune always on the
side of disloyalty? Why does 1t al
ways rush to the defense Of traitors?
While in Spokane some weeks ago
l. r. Grow, when asked about the
Hofstede case, said that Mr.. Merrill
had held Hofstede and placed him
under a $4,000 bond when there
was no evidence to justify 1t;
that Hofstede had committed no Of
tense, and was being prosecuted. OF
course, and Mr.. Grow applauded and
approved and backed this traitor, and
encouraged him by thus condoning
disloyalty. The Tribune crowd gave
us Hofstede for village attorney, and
tried to make him county attorney
And Hofstede was disloyal and boast
ed Of 1t; he defied government, and
said all government is dangerous to
the people.

sation OF from $40 to SIS a month
will be paid to his wife, hts child, or
his widowed mother.
In order, however, fully to protect
each person and family, Congress has
made II possible for every soldier,
sailor, and nurse to obtain life and
totaI-disability insurance. This in
surance applies to injuries received
while he or she is in the service or
after he or she shall have left It.
Exposure to the extra dangers of
war makes the cost Of life insurance
in private life insurance companies
prohibitive. 1t was, therefore, q
plain duty and obligation OF the
Government to assume the risk of in
surfing hundreds OF thousands of our
soldiers and sailors who are making
the supreme sacrifice. Under this
law, every soldier and sailor and
nurse, commissioned and enlisted, and
of any age, has the right, between
now and February IL, 1918, to take
out life and. tOtal-disability insur-
ance up to $4,000 at very low cost,
with the Government without medi-
cal examination. This right is pure
ly optional. The soldiers and sailors
are not compelled to take insurance,
but II they desire to exercise the
right, they must do SO before the IL
of February, 1918. The cost ranges
from IS cents monthly, at the age of
81, to 1920 monthly. at the age IF
81, for each $1,000 s'of insurance.
This Is small charge on q mans pay
small In proportion to the benefits
II may bring. The premiums will be
deducted from his pay. II he desires,
thus eliminating trouble on his part.

Kaiser, made and placed them In the

Daguerre, a Frenchman, presented
us with photography. Our own Edi-
son brought forth the motion picture
to delight and instruct the eye and
the photograph to please and teach
the ear. The Germans enjoy our reels
and records, and, lifting high their
stems, drink prolonged toast to the
achievements of the Vaterland.
Deutschland uber Allies"
Calico, who first saw the heavens
with q telescope, was an Italian. The
man who first saw the earth and it's
teeming life with microscope was
not Of German origin. :. Yet many
telescopes and microscopes In our col
leges, being marked MADE in Ger
many, have led students to believe
these wonderful instruments were de-
vised by German brain. The Ger
mans are mechanics, not inventors.
By the use. of the compound micro
scope, Pasteur, the French biologist,
as early as 1857, demonstrated aeon
nection between microscopic organ
ism and disease. This was nine years
before DR.. Koch. the German bacteri-
ologist had graduated. In this con-
nection the importantantiseptic sur
gerry of DR.. Lister of England should
be recorded. Edward Jenner, the dis
coverer OF vaccination, and Harvey.
the discoverer of circulation of the
klcnc, were Englishmen. An Amer
lean taught the world the use of an
esthetics. Our dentists excel all 9TH
ers. They are employed by many
crowned heads-even the Kaiser has
his.
The Teutons have not shown the
engineering skill of the French, who
cut the Suez canal, or the Americans.
who joined the Atlantic and Pacific at
Panama. The decimal or metric sys-
tenn by which the Germans make
their measurements is a gift from
France The method by which they
make their steel is that of Sir Henry
Bessemer of England. No wonder
that the Germans can "goosestep" so
high. for what else have they prac-
ticed?
Lavoisier, the father of modern
chemistry, was Frenchman; Lin
naeus, the founder of botany, was of
land we are indebted for geology; to
NTSluld III .tuC
raphy of the sea- to Descartes of
French parentage for analytical ge-
ometry; to Comte of France for So
GEOLOGY; to Germany for sauerkraut
and pretzels. Germany has not con
tributed her quota toward the
worlds advancement. How she struts
in her foreign plumage! She is nei-
ther inventive, resourceful, nor orr
ginal.
She has no geographical discover
les of Importance. Her neighbors
have. What role did she play In dis
covering various portions of the New
World? Did she establish any colon
les? / thank God she did not Her
sons did not compose the crews OF
Magellan's fleet, the first to circum-
navigate the globe. A German did
not discover the north pole, nor lead
the way toward the south pole. 1t is
high time to cease talking of Ger
many's achievements unless one wish
es to indulge in satire.
History and study will reveal that
the worlds greatest teacher. scientist
inventor. discoverer. statesman, gen
eral. philosopher. preacher. painter,
poet, architect. novelist or singer was
not made in Germany"

6 reasons
Why*You Should Save

BECAUSE when you save you help
our soldiers and sailors win the war
BECAUSE when you spend on things
you do not need you help, the Ger
mans.
BECAUSE when you spend you make
other people work for you, and the
work of everyone is wanted now to
help our fighting men, or to produce
necessaries, or to make goods for ex-
port.
BECAUSE by going without things
and combining your spending to neces-
saries you relieve the strain on our
ships and docks and railways and
make transport quicker and cheaper.
BECAUSE when you spend you make
things dearer for everyone, especially
for those who are poorer than you.
BECAUSE every shilling helps twice,
first when you don't spend it and
again when you lend it to the Ma
ton.

means setting an example for thou
sands Of other farmers to do likewise.
A carefully planned and well built
dairy barn providing 30 stalls for cows.
q generous sized calf pen and a bull
pen Is shown in the accompanying
view. This barn is built near James
vile, Wis. The plan calls for a double
row Of stalls along the central feed
alley. On one side of the alley accom-
modations for Is cows are provided in
ar unbroken line, at the end of which
the calf pen Is built. The stalls on
the other side Of the alley are divided
into a set of ten and a set of seven, a
passageway between the feeding alley
and the litter alley being placed in
line with q Dutch door in the outer
wall at this point. The bull pen is To-
Gated at the end of this row of stalls.
A stairway to the haymow is framed
into the end wall of the barn in the
bull pen. The silo is built ut this end
Of the barn and a feed room connects
it with the feeding alley in the main
structure. The feed carrier track is
extended into this feeding room.
The ventilation system utilizes three
large-size y~entilators connected with
four-air fues carried along the rafters
on either side of the ventilator base
and down to near the floor line in the
stable. Fresh air is admitted to the
stable through flues which start just
above the concrete block basement
wall, are carried up the wall to the
floor joists and across to registers in
the ceiling above the feeding alley.
The combined effective area Of the in
take fiues is figured about 10 per cent
in excess OF the combined effective
area OF the four-air fiues, which in
sures an adequate supply Of fresh air
to the animals at all times.
The foundations of this barn are
sOlidly laid OF concrete and the floors
are poured OF the same material, the
hangers and cutters being formed as
a part of the floor structure. 1t has
been found an advantage to slope the
