Vickery Case Not Serious.

The case of Mr.. and Mrs. Vickery
living in the outskirts of Moscow, to
which attention was called in The
Star-Mirror Saturday is not nearly
as serious as was thought. Dr. Stew
enson, county physician, has the case
IN charge and makes regular visits to
the Vickery home. Mr. Vickery is
suffering with cancer and no hopes
OF his recovery are entertained. 1t is
only question of time when death
Will relieve his sufferings. Mrs.
Vlckery needs some help to care for
him. Both are old and she is quite
feeble. But they do not lack for any
thing in a financial way. Mr.. Wick
cry gets pension of $50 per month
sos every three months-as he is
derstood that she also gets small
pension. The county has contributed
$50 to them in the past five months
and will do more if needed. DR..
Stevenson says the aged couple live
well and all they lack is some as
sistance for Mrs. Vickery, who is
worn out with waiting on her hus-
band, her sleep being broken by need
to care for him in the night. A
neighbor saws, splits and carries
40 to- them. The case is regarded
as one for the county and charitable
people may help, if they wish, by
assistance for Mrs. Wick
cry. 1t is not a case for the Red
Cross, as was suggested by the
papers informant, but the Req Cross

while the rest of the world is starving
for the wheat he raises, and many
millions, financially unable to pay
even a moderate price for it.
If war prices are to be maintained
for wheat and other grains, meat an

we should not blame laborers for de-
mapding corresponding wages. No
one however can, justify strike like
that now being waged in Seattle.

of wheat this year. I want the farm
er to have fair price for his wheat,
and believe he will get it without a
guarantee; price of sacks will be lower
and wages less, so that he does not
need as much as last year. No one
works harder or takes greater risks
in producing his wealth than the farm
er, and he has never had quite an even
show with the rest of the world, but
that is no reason why he should ask
or receive, a guarantee for his wheat,
that insures him an abnormal price,

prove, Your editorial, Getting Wildly
Extravagant," in Yesterdays paper
1t is a disagreeable task to call atten-
tion to such matters at this time, but
am glad some one has the courage to
do so. All you say about national ex-
penditures applies with equal force to
state and local affairs and a note of
warning should be sounded against
! extravagant appropriations in the leg
islature, even for schools and roads,
and to unusual expenditures in the
county.
| All want good roads, but I do not
believe it advisable to enter into eX-
tensive road building at this time,
while labor and material are so high,
and until we have some better sys-
tenn of directing our road work, that
will insure our getting value received
for the money spent. 1t is, as you
say, astonishing how quickly we have
dealing in millions. Have we forgot
ten that all these debts must some
time be paid, and that in the mean
time the interest on them will be
tremendous burden? When we think
of our huge National debt, lien on
all property, industry and energy, the
state, county, city, school and road
bonds, additional liens, to say moth
ing of individual and corporate debts,
it is truly appalling and time we call
ed a halt.
The excuse for many of these ex-
penditures is, to insure employment
for returning soldiers, and hence pass
unchallenged. 1t ought not to be diff
ficult to re-employ all soldiers, as
soon as spring opens. Many of them
will remain in the army for year OF
more and all were employed before
going into the army, and may fall
back into their old places. Even be-
fore 1914 there were not many men
idle in the Uuited States, who wanted
work, and that condition should be
easily brought about again. If there
are few more men than jobs, it will
only hasten the return to normal
wages and prices.
Of course it would be unjust to re-
duce wages and leave the cost of liv
ing at it's present level. Our efforts
must be directed to bringing about
gradual reduction of all prices and to
do this we need as much patriotism
and unselfishness as we did to carry
on the war; the burden must not be
borne by any one set of men, nor
should tremendous profits be made
by one class at the expense of society
in general. l am engaged in produc-
ing dairy products and have seen a
sharp decline in prices of butter and
butter fat. This is but natural and /
am not complaining, but since the
signing of the armistice, there has
been very sharp and unreasonable
advance in the price of mill feed,
which all of US deem unjust. There
has also been advances on many lines
of manufactured goods which seems
unfair, but we have become so accus
toned to rising prices that we pay the
price asked and never bat our eyes.
Washington is very much exercised
just now over financing the purchase
of our 1919 wheat crop, so as to carry |
out the price guaranteed by the pres
ident. l am sure / will be called a |
knocker and severely criticized, but |
am going on record as opposed to the |
government guaranteeing the price |

Davids' Report Business Good.

Davids' big department store re-
ports business far better than a year
ago, with bright prospects for the flu
ture. During the first eight days of
February the big stores sales lacked
but 5000 of equalling the sales of
the entire month of February last
year. The firm attributes the in
creased business to better financial
condlulons IN the country and to its
consistent and persistent advertising
campaign by which the people are be-
ing Informed of the bargains offered.
