STORE EGGS NOW, SAYS
HEBBARD.

Housewives during the period of
heavy egg production are urged by the
Food Administration to store eggs
during May. Information gathered
by the Food administration tends to
show that eggs during the winter
months, or the season of scant pro-
duction will be even higher in price
than they were last winter.
"By storing eggs now by the water
glass method, or any other method
which assures preservation of the egg
supply, the housewife will not only
assure herself a wholesome food pro-
duct during the winter months but
will also aid the Food Administration
in diminishing the use of other food
products which can be shipped to our
Allies" says Food Administrator
Charles Hebberd.
According to the economic price
curve eggs are lowest in price during
the months of April and May and
reach the peak of the curve during
November and December. For this
reason the food administration is
urging the storage of eggs at this
time.

THE IDLER is A SLACKER.

These. are days when the nation and
the state demand the active help of
every able-bodied man and woman.
The man or waman, whether rich or
poor, who is voluntarily idle in this
hour of the nations need, is a Stacker
and is aiding the enemy little less than
those under arms against us.
Yet it has come to the attention
of the State Council of Defense that
throughout the state there are armies
of these idlers whom no appeal to con-
science or patriotism can reach.
Therefore, the county councils of
the several counties in this state are
urged to see to it that their COM
munities vigorously enforce the exist
ing laws and ordinances against
vagrancy and habitual idleness.

FRUIT ANGFNCIES COMBINE
SPOKANE co. JOINS SEATTLE co.
J. b. Adams of the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange Instrumental
in Making the Deal.

A deal of vast importance to the
fruit growers of the northwest, was
closed the first of this week, when
the Spokane Cooperative Fruit Co.
decided to merge its business with
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange,
with headquarters in Seattle. Our
fellow townsman, Mr.. ]. B. Adams,
who has been general field manager
of the Northwestern for the past two
years, more than any one else, is
said to have been instrumental in
putting the deal thru.
By those who have made study
of the situation it is believed to be
a good move for both the growers
and all those who handle northwestern
fruit. The northwestern has in the
last three years built up one of the
greatest fruit selling agencies in this
country. They spent more than
hundred thousand dollars in bringing
to the notice of those who always
want, and buy the best, the merits
of the Skookum grade of apples, which
means the best of the best grades of
Northwestern apples.
Selling apples, and selling them at
price satisfactory to the growers
has been the effort of the Northwest
ern, and the friendly relations be-
tween this company and the growers
is evidence that they have dealt fair
ly and given the growers satisfactory
returns for their fruit.

DEATH OF LITTLE
JACK HEINRICHS.

After an illness of two weeks the
seventeen months old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Randolph Heinrichs died Sunday
evening last and was buried Monday
in the Leavenworth cemetery. Only
two weeks ago the little fellow was
well and happy but he had fall and
dislocated the elbow of his left arm.
Blood poison and other complications
set in and he was taken to the Lea
venworth Hospital where Drs. Hoxey
and Judah lanced the arm, but to no
purpose, the poison had already gone
thru his system and after ten days
of intense suffering he died.

"THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR"

For the benefit of the Red Cross
group of players from the Leaven-
worth Teachers Club, assisted by a
few outsiders gave j. Hartley Man
ner's comedy-"The House Next
Door," The production, under the
direction of Mrs. A. S. Jensen, main
tanned thruout, standard not usually
held in amateur work.
The play itself was interesting. The
story dealt with two families who
lived "next door" to one another. For
years they had been enemies due to
the unmittigated race hatred of the
head of the one for the other, who
was Jewish. AS is often the case,
the hatreds of the passing generation
meant little to the rising one and son
and daughter of the one house found
their life-happinesses dependent upon
daughter and son of the other. The
play ended in a happy fashion with
the harsh feelings of the fathers Civ
ing way to the gentler ones of their
children.
The characters were, without ex-
ception, we'll portrayed. The work
of Mr.. Osborn in the part of Sir John
Cotswold, the crabby old English Bar
onet was particularly worthy of men,
ton. There was excellent support
for this role in the work of the entire
cast, but especially in that of Mrs.
LIE Gros as Ulrica, and of Mr.. Jensen,
Mrs. Hall and Miss Beardsley as Sir
and Lady Jacobsen, and Miss Lister
respectively.
Every part showed nice apprecia-
tion of the character portrayed, and
Mrs. Jensen is to be complicated on
her success in the production. The

RACE DISCRIMINATION.

A complaint has been made to Pres
B. s. Smith of the N. A. A. c. p, that
q Negro woman of this city, having a
license as an elevator operator, was
not employed at the New England
Annex Bldg, apparently on account
of her color or race. Several white
ladies applied for the position and
not one had license. One was hired

complaint was that the General Elec-
trio Light Co. refused to employ a
Negro who answered an adv for an
elevator man.
There was recent drive for men,

enough to make fight against these

"BUM" POLITICS.

We know no word better fitted for
the colored politician in Oregon than
"bum politics." For years and years
the colored politician has voted for
the Republican party and handed out
political cards, Grated, expostulated
and split oceans of printers ink to
help elect some office-seeker and like
the "bum" who is out of work, the
colored politician is still splitting
wood" for livelihood and tramping
on in the same old rut. Bum pol
itics," to say the least. And it will
ever be thus just so long as the col
ored politician and voters continue to
support parties and not men. Now
the best way to change the whole
"bum" local machine, which has DOM
mated politics in the interest of a
favored few (and the colored brother
completely excluded) is to pick out
men for whom to vote at the coming
election and let the party" go to the
''pow-wow." And If this doesn't bring
political leaders to their senses where
will they recognize a man by his
worth and not his color nothing else
will. Think it over.-The Portland
(Ore.) Advocate, Sept. 21, 1918.

Any person, who seeks honor or

patriotic effort. 1t is the duty of every
honest citizen to do his best to bear

LATAH BELIEVED To- Be OVER
THE TOP IN RED CROSS DRIVE

1t is thought that Latah county has
oversubscribed her quota to the Red
Cross fund, although only scattering
reports have been received from many
outside places and none of these are
complete. But it is now known that
many points oversubscribed their
quotas the first day and more money
has been pouring in since then.
Moscow is still far behind but an
effort is to be made to clean up here
tomorrow and it is hoped that by
Wednesday evening Moscow will have
her quota subscribed. That will be
giving Moscow three days to do what
Deary, Potlatch, Genesee, Bovill, and
Juliaetta did in less than one day,
which is fair, as Moscow has shown
herself to be about e-third as ener-
getic as most of the other towns in
the county, when it comes to some
public enterprise.
While only incomplete returns have
been received from outside points they
show some splendid work has been
done. Deary is believed to have SUBJ
scribed double her quota, and Pot
atch was oversubscribed $400 last
