JUL|AETTA HAS AN
ELECTRICAL STORM
RAIN, HAIL, THUNDER AND
LIGHTNING RESEMBLE BATTLE
ON WEST FRONT

JULIAETTA.-One of the worst
electric storms that Juliaetta and
vicinity probably ever experienced oc-
Cured Sunday night.
The day had been most beautiful
autumn day, with no indications of
a storm brewing. About seven o'clock
the thunder and lightning begun and
increased in fury, with little rain, un-
til near 10 O'Clock, when the storm
reached its height. Hail preceded
the heavy downpour of rain, which
lasted for some time, with occasional
showers until seven o'clock Monday
morning. One might we'll have i'm
agined the world had turned around
and that Juliaetta was on the western
front, that the constant rumbling of
the thunder was the roar of the
"great guns" and that the lightning
was the Liquid fire." so constant was
the rolling Of the thunder and in
cessant the flashing of the lightning
for more than one hour.
Today is so warm, sunny and calm,
as to almost make one believe that
the storm was only dream, until
look at the muddy streets makes one
know that the storm was reality.
Juliaetta Notes.
All public gatherings except the
public schools have been closed, but
so far no cases of the influenza have
been reported in Juliaetta.
Mrs. Frank Taylor returned Sat-
urday from a three weeks visit with
her sister in Spokane.
The cannery is still running full
time and will continue to do so as
long as the nice warm weather ripens
the tomatoes.

POTLATCH MERCHANT
SUCCESSFUL FARMER
MANAGES LARGE DEPARTMENT
STORE, RUNS DAIRY, RAISES
HOGS AND FARMS

There is probably no buster man in
the northwest than A. A. Mcdonald
manager of the Potlatch Mercantile
company's big department store at
Potlatch. This is one of the largest
department stores in the west, carry
ing an enormous stock of everything
from needles to threshing machines,
and saw mill supplies, and handles
all of the supplies and provisions for
the Potlatch Lumber company's big
lumber interests, including two saw
mills, among the largest in the west.
But Mr.. Mcdonald finds, or takes
time to run 800 acre ranch, and
with the aid Of Mrs. Mcdonald, milks
Is cows and feeds 100 head of hogs
His ranch is six miles from Potlatch
and they arise early enough in the
morning to milk the cows, separate
the milk, feed the hogs and do the
other chores" and get breakfast in
time for him to get to the store, six
miles away, by 7:45 o'clock. He re-
mains at the store until closing time
In the evening, then drives the six
miles to the ranch, milks the cows,
separates the milk, feeds the hogs
and looks after the other work on the
ranch, then "calls it a full day" and /,
IcIlreS Tor lew hours sleep. The |
SKINNED milk is fed to the hogs and |
the cream is sold and brings in a |
nice check every month
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald are striv- |
ing to do their part to produce more
food stuffs rather than to make prof
its and want to establish fine dairy
and stock farm. They call their farm
the Glengarry Farm, which, with the
name, certainly gives the impression
that they are Scotch. But if there
were any doubt left it would be re-
moved by inquiry into the breeds of
stock they keep.
They will do their farm work with
Shire horses. The fence corners and
fields will be kept clean of weeds and
,oul growth by Shropshire sheep
They are laying the foundation for a
Inc herd of purebred Berkshire hogs,
having 10 registered sows and reg
stored boar, and they have fine
lerd of purebred, registered Guern-
ey cows.
At this time, when help is so scare |

ering from a severe attack of influenza

STICK TO YOUR DECISION

those who are strong enough themselves
TO respect your strength will remain
your friends.
1t is easy enough to be popular. All
you have to do is to accede graciousb
to every ones wishes and opinions. 1t
is when you begin to show will OF
your own that you are "disagreeable'
and hard to get on with"
The girl student who accepts every
invitation and falls in, with every
scheme for a good time is voted a "jolly
companion" and lots of fun" by all who
know her, whereas the girl who has the
mental and moral strength to say mo, "
and who sticks to her studies in face of
all temptations, is called an awful
grind"
But we all know which student it is
who gets to the top of the ladder, and
it certainly is not the one who fritters
away her precious student years in
good times" Moreover, the same de
sirable, well-to-do acquaintnces with
whom she wasted her time have nothing
to offer the poor butterfly as recompense
for her lost opportunity.

Wells AND HAIR NETS

r% EMININE CALCULATIONS that one
h hears most often are; How
hate hair net wouldn't wear
one. 1t makes me look so old maidish,
And, mo, don't wear veil; it takes
too long to put it on, and it hurts my
cyes!"
The other day a woman entered a
street car, bound for shopping or mat
ince. She was nicely seated in the We
hicle Of transportation when Ping 70
some one entered hastily down the mar
row aisle, clbowing her hat accidentally.
That ended her smart appearance,
With hat askcw her head Immediately
presented the appearance OF a rabish
craft aioat OH a choppy sea. For wear
ing no hair net, when the hat got push
ed aside, it pulled some Of her hairpns
ont OF place. These tiny anchors, drag
gng along with the hat, pulled the mar
eel waves of her hair out Of their
smooth ripples into choppy frizzes
Even veil, well posed, would have
saved her hair somewhat But without
doubt she was one of those women who
hated hair nets and couldn't bother to
adjust a veil"

BY EDNA EGAN.

N NE great fault which most of us
Y have in common is the inability
to stick to our decisions There
are, of course, persons with exception
ally strong mentalities who cling to the
courses they have laid out for them
selves in spite of all opposing forces, but
for the most part we are too easily in
fuenced by our friends.
The business girl may resolve to spend
no more money on foolish triAes, and
having formed the resolution may re-
main firm for all OF a week; but the ex-
ample and persuasions of her friends
and companions soon weaken that re-
solve and she slips back into her old
ways.
The student whose family is paying
out round sums of money that she may
accomplish certain courses of study may
declare that nothing shall tempt her to
neglect her work, but invitations from
friends for dinners, teas and dances
soon undermine that determination.
The wife and mother may be perfectly
sure that nothing would induce her to
spoil her child, as some of her neigh
bors' children are spoiled, but when her
own little boy begs her for forbidden ia
yors in his cunning baby way her iron"
resolve becomes as wax.
Do you realize this lacli-this seem
ing inability to stick to your determine
tons? Because the sooner you wake
up to it the sooner you will set about
remedying it. 1t is not that you are un-
able, physically, mentally and morally,
to fulfil any resolution you may make,
but it is lack of mental and moral
strength to back you up in resisting
temptation; and the more you give in to
the influence Of others the weaker your
own moral fibre becomes.
BY remaining firm in your decisions
you will undoubtedly find yourself
growing unpopular with many of your
acquaintance, at any rate with those
who are not worth having as friends.
You will see that all the weak cfarac-
tcrs about you will drop away, and only

SUCCESSFUL
PARENTHOOD
NATURE has a much more casual
N attitude toward fatherhood than
toward motherhood, but Of late

n YAI ONE Has Il AluOA h'oAN o"'''t'
~ attitude toward fatherhood than
toward motherhood, but of late
eugenics and psychology have given the
father just a little prestige! And COM
mon sense recognizes the fact that to be
a successful father IS in itself very
neat little job
Team work is one of the essentials III
bringing up children successfully.
Parents who bicker and quarrel and nag
at each other before their children can
not hope to inspire respect. Parents
who lose their tembers, who question
each others DEGREES, who iout each 9th
er's authority, can no more control their
children than themselves.
The mother who acknowledges to her
children that she can not control them
by saying: wait till your father comes
I'll tell him, and then you'll feel sorry,
makes a twofold blunder First OF all
she Acknowledges her own Inefhciency;
and then she put5 the father, who ought
to be loved, into the unpleasant posi-
ton of an avcnging, and SO, terrifying
spirit
Parents ought to unite in their study
of their children They ought to dis
cuss, to compare observations, and to
formulate together a working plan for
bringing out the best in each individual
child
Because a parent had certain ambi-
tions which he himself could not realize,
he should not Try to make his child car
ry them out Because mother or father
is working toward certain goal, there
should not be desire to use the child
in the furtherance Of plans.
Sinking the responsibility of telling
child what he ought to know about him
self and life is shirking very real du-
ty of parenthood.
Parents have a sacred obligation in
preparing their children for life. They
must equip them with knowledge, with
honesty Of purpose and with high prin-

~ VERY wise housewife knows that
T. there is distinction between the
processes of baking and roast
ing meats. Baking means cooking
with direct heat and is done in the broil-
ing oven by placing the meat directly
under the flame. Veal, in contrast with
other meats, needs slow baking, but all
other meats can be roasted, although for
chicken or fresh ham it is we'll to begin
in the broiling oven, soaring well, and
then finish by baking. When roasting
meat in the lower oven the door should
be left open Tor the circulation OF air
through the oven. This prevents smoke
and odors. Meats, whether roasted OF
baked. should be basted occasionally.
