Grasshopper Pest

The grasshopper pest looms omln-
Gus in our midst, threatening large
damage to the finest prospects for
a wheat crop the prairie ever enjoy
ed. But County Farm Agent Wade
seems to have the matter pretty
we'll in hand-has anticipated the
situation and, securing data and in
formation as to the best method for
proceeding effectively against the
threatening blight. is issuing poi
son mixture which has proved most
effective in other sections. This
only is one of the many instances
where the real value of the County
Agent takes tangible form, and
where the results obtained through
his Office save many times his sal
ary.-Nez Perce Herald.

To Change Road

Marshall lockwood and G. w.
Benjamin started work Monday i'm
proving the grade leading from the
warehouse to the park. This is the
first step in contemplated change
in the road entering town flom
lower Potlatch creek. The village
board has had this matter under
consideration for some time and al
though plans for the proposed
change are not fully matured it is
certain something will be done to
avoid the step hill on the present
road in the outskirts of town. The
plan at present being considered is
to close up a short section of the
road now in use, including the
steep hill mentioned, ard divert the
travel to a new piece of road to be
built beginning at the warehouse
and leading past the park to con-
nection with the main road at the
bridge below the park. A splendid
road can be secured in this way and
with the Improvement of the short
grade at the park entrance there
will be practically no climb on the
read entering town.-Juliaetta Rec
ord.

Road Work Started

Monday the great work started on
the road building between Kendrick
and Juliaetta under the supervision
of A. G. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson has
had some very difficult road prob
lens to solve in the road district Of
which he is supervisor and he prob
ably is as good man for this work
as can be found in the community.
He understands rock work and gen.
eral road building. There are no
very difficult stretches of road to
be built. between Kendrick and
Juliaetta, most OF it being simply a
matter of blowing the road out OF
the hill side and putting in several
fills. A good crew of men and
teams are at work and it is believ-
ed the road will be built in a short
time.
This is the first step toward Sc
curing the Kendrick-Juliaetta-Lew-
iston highway. Every citizen OF
the Potlatch country should boost
for this highway as though their
lives depended upon it. There is
no other one thing that will de-
velop the Potlatch as rapidly and
to such a great extent as will a
gravel road between Kendrick and
Lewiston. 1t is something that no
one in his right mind can consist
emily oppose.

Portland, while they were both
there visiting relatives. Their mar

their friends here as their engage
ment had been announced some time
ago while they were in Portland
and it was understood the wedding
would occur the first part of this
month.
The bride is a charming girl and
deservedly popular. Mr.. Lind is a
prosperous young farmer with a
good future before him.
The names of those who were
present at the wedding follow: Mr..
and Mrs. John Lind, parents of the
groom; Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Lind.

Won Two Ball Games

Everything is lovely again in base
ball circles-Kendrick won two
more baseball games last week. one
with Genesee on Memorial day and
one with Bovill last Sunday. The
defeat suffered at the hands of the
Lewiston team two weeks ago is
being somewhat forgotten since two
more scalps have been brought into
the camp Of the Kendrick ball club.
The game proved to be somewhat
in the nature Of decisive defeat
for the Genesee team as the score
was 10 to / in favor Of Kendrick.
The game afforded some splendid
batting practice as the. score IN
dicates. Densow pitched the nine
innings securing only II strike-outs.
He apologies for the small number
and blamed the cold weather for it.
The game at Bovill Sunday was
also rather lopsided as the score was
IA to in favor of Kendrick. Den
sow and Forest were the battery for
Kendrick. Thirteen strike-outs
were marked on the score book for
Densow. Forest and Densow work
together like well-oiIed machine.
They are both exceptionally good
ball players.
Brown secured four runs out Of
five times at bat, one of them being
a home run. All of the Kendrick
boys batted we'll in both the Bovill
and Genesee games.
Louie Rognstad played third base
at Genesee and BoviIl. He is good
third baseman and an all-round ball
player. The lineup for Kendrick
was as follows: Forest. catcher;
Densow, pitcher; Brown, lst base;
McCrea, End base; McCreary, short;
Rognstad, 3rd base; Compton, Car
roll and Bolon IN the field; Fred
Flaig, utility man.

Their rage at me as they rush past,
A dandy bunch to dare to ask

And shouts it out so very loud
That you would think that he must

 Some one had. advanced the argu- ment that if every family in the coun- try willed it, there would be few that did not live in their own homes Witl, few exceptions, tenants pay more in rent than it would cost them to buy tue places in which they live. The owner of rented property must get as large a return on his investmeht as the, same money would earn in in terest, plus profit to pay him for his labor and the cost of caring for the property. This expense is borne by the person who rents the property.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-05-21

This line of reasoning is logical, but the one thing that deters most people from buying or building home is & lack of desire to assume the respon- sibility of paying for it. When it is considered that q house may be pur- chased by paying down small DOT tfon of the cost and the balance as rent, there is not so much responsi- bility as most people believe.
 Everywhere in the country now there is shortage of available homes. In almost every community this con tiition prevails and those who are pay ing rent are finding that the demand is causing the property owners to charge more and more for the houses they own. Thus. whether they will it or not, many people have been driven by necessity into building homes for themselves, while others are consid- ering doing so.
 Selecting a design for a house is undoubtedly the most important step in securing a home. Care should be

 The design for this house calls for only six rooms. but they are what might be termed ''re2ular' rooms. The hVln@ room extends the full breadth of the house. being 23 by 13 feet.

The kitchen, occupying the other corner of the building is also large, 10 feet 6 inches, by F feet 6 inches. The work table is underneath the double windows on the side, while there are cases on either side of it. The rear porch is of the same width as the kitchen and place is provided for icing the ice box without entering the kitchen.
 The second floor plan is similar to the first. The front bedroom is of the same size as the living room, eXtend- ing the width of the house. Ad.join- ing it, at the end of central hall, is the bath room, while there are two other bedrooms, one on each of the two rear corners. Closets are placed in each of these rooms.
 The basement extends under the whole of the house. Here rooms may be built to keep the heating plant sep arate from the other parts of the basement, which always is good plan as it keeps the heat from the family food storage room.
