yesterday. There, it is true, it would
be disastrous if a girl forgot to wear
her apron. In the other rooms they sat
as daintily as stenographers before
their clean tables. There were girls in
crepe blouses, girls with jet earrings
and tortoise she'll glasses, girls with
moving picture mops of curs and

pushed back over thin, gray hair.
In the drilling room. however, they
wore mob caps over their curs and
great, grimy blue gingham aprons

fakes of brass fell in heap of refuse
at the operators feet. 1t was here,
however, that ] found the girl with the
triumphant flush upon her face.

'It's such fun" she cried. "It's Just
wonderful to put the stick of brass in
and watch the machine grind out the
hollow place in the middle. Yes, of
course, get tired, but it's good for me
to have the exercise; don't you think
so? At night YOU fall asleep just like

Florence Fyles Bauchle. who obtained
q divorce from Bauchle in 1913 in
Reno, and is now trying to compel him
to pay her the S4o0 month alimony
which the former wife says he prom.
ised. This allowance Mrs. Bauchle
alleges, was to be for the rest of her
life. The payments ceased in 1915,
and Mrs. Rauchle is suing for SGT 600,
basing this figure on her expectancy
of life. The plaintiff was Bauchle's
second wife and he has remarked
since the divorce.
The action to recover the alimony
was brought more than q year ago.
1t was on the calendar yesterday for

It is one of those Jersey deserts
that are too desolate for homes and
too barren for gardens-ius q stretch
of cinders and swamp, covered with
dead grass. Not at all the kind of
place for great romantic undertaking
that should kindle the spirit of q
ma ion.
Yet, the thing that was going on
yesterday behind those gray-grecn
fences. in the low mud -colored build
ngs, that seem to melt into the swamp,
is the same thing that thrilled the
world from the vantage point Of Lon
don and Lyons. 1t is here that Amer
ican women took their places beside
their English cousins before the turret
lathe and the soldering iron, in the
manufacture of munitions.

They Confer With Legisla-
tive Leaders on Resolutions
to Censure Governor
Oppose Farms Council
Food Price Fixing To Be At
tackled in State Federation
of Agriculture
staff COrrespondencel |

ALBANY, March 13.-The farmers of
New York, according to leaders of the
New York State Federation of Agri-
culture, have not let up in
their fight on Governor Whitman.
These leaders, who stopped off
here to-day on their way to Pough-
keepsie, where the federation meets to-
morrow, conferred with Senator E,lon
R. Brown, William NJ. Bennet, Thad-
deus c. Sweet, Speaker of the Assem-
bly,: Senator Henry NJ. Sage and other
anti Whitman leaders.
After the conference Samuel Fraser,
head OF the Western New York Hort
cultural Society, which began the agri-
cultural agitation against the Cover
nor, said that the Governor did not
satisfy the farmers by his recent APP
pointments to the Farms and Markets
Council
From talks with Mr. Fraser and
other agriculturists it was gathered
that resolutions would be offered a..
the convention censuring Governor
Whitman and urging the legislature
to abolish the Farms and Markets
Council and the State Food Commits
sion.
The farmers also plan to attack the
national Administration for fixing food
prices, and this is their principal eriev-
ance against the State Food Commits
sion.
"The agriculturists are not satisfied
with Governor Whitman's treatment
of them,' said Mr.. Fraser "When we
were in session at Syracuse he sent
an envoy, Lieutenant Governor Schoc-
neck. saying that he was willing to do
what we wanted him to do. Mr.. Shoe
neck asked us what we wanted. We
told him nothing short of the
abolition of the Farms and Markets
Council and the Food Commission and
a restoration of the State Department
of Agriculture. Mr.. Shoeneck said this
would be done. This the Governor has
not done. He has double crossed US
And not only that. but all of the men
he named to the Farms and Markets
Council are not satisfactory to the
farmers"
But the Senate confirmed those nomi-
nations" Mr.. Fraser was reminded
Yes" was the reply, "but you will
remember that Senator Sage in moving
their confirmation washed his hands OF
the whole affair saying the Governor
nominations were confirmed to preven,
matters from getting worse and that
the Senate had not had time to investi-
gate the qualifications of the Gov
crnor's nominees

The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-08-30

A. w. Longfellow, democratic
candidate for the nomination for
Sheriff of Latah county, was born
and raised in Maine. He came to
Lewiston, Idaho in 1881 where he
lived several years, filing on home
stead in the Cedar Creek country in
1884. He took the first cook stove
on Cedar Creek ridge, and helped
to cut the first trail and road to
Southwick. He always did his full
share on ali public works.
He established the first sawmill
on the ridge, which has been the
means of building up and improv-
ing that community.
When first coming to this country
Kendrick, Leland and Juliaetta
were not on the map.
He asks his share of the votes at
the coming primary election.

Kendrick at times can assemble

Kendrick at times can assemble
some of the most apathetic audien-
ces! At the concert last Friday
evening the program was half over
before the audience awoke suffic-
iently to encore any of the numbers.
Some of the best numbers on the
program were passed up with just
enough applause to enable the mu-
sicians to retire from the stage be-
fore silence reigned again. 1t wasn't
because the numbers were not good,
because they were very good. 1t
wasn't because the audience didn't
appreciate them because we know it
did. Of course it was hot evening
and that may account for the lack
of spirit, but it has happened before
in all kinds of weather, so we have
come to the conclusion it is just a
case Of letting the other fellow do
it.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1918-08-30

How natural it is for us to look at
the other fellow and make oursel-
yes believe that he has real snap.
The town consumer just positively
knows the farmer is making all
kinds of profits on hogs cattle, hay
and products. And the fellow who
is farming knows that it requires
economy and hard work to make the
farm pay. And the average farmer
will tell you that the fellow in town
has the snap, Is profiteer; is LIVING
off the farmer, of no use, doing no
work for his living. AS a matter of
fact town and country are vitality
concerned about the welfare of
each other and an injury to one
hurts the other. Imagine a prosper
Gus rural community that is desir-
liable place in which to live, without
a good, live, prosperous town within
easy reach. And the better the
town the more prosperous the
farmers tributary may be. What
would one of our Clearwater county
farms be worth if Orofino were a
Portland, Oregon, or Spokane?
What would you give to have your
farm within reach of the New York
or Chicago market? What would
an Orofino of 5000 population, with
factories and payroll, be worth to
the farmer who is within trading
radius of this little village? Towns
and the surrounding country grow
or fall together. Think this over.
