Lyceum Number Next Week

The first number of the lyceum
course will be held Saturday, Nov
ember /. The Sam Lewis Company
will make it's appearance here on
that night in a splendid musical
program.
The senior class of the high school
will have charge of selling season
tickets, which will be put on sale
this week. The price of the season
ticket is $3.50, which will entitle
the holder to attend five entertain
ments, four of which will be
lyceum numbres and the fifth high
school play. A big saving will be
made by those who purchase season
tickets as the general admission
for the five numbers will total
$4.O0, while a season ticket costs but
$3.50.
The talent secured for the first
number is far above that usually

Certified Spuds Profitable

Offers on potatoes produced from
certified seed in the Dietrich tract
thus far have averaged from 40 to
so cents more per hundred pounds
than the market price. More thar,
so acres of certified seed were plant
ed on the tract last spring. On the
most conservative estimate of the
yield, these prices will net the
farmers an extra $50 an acre.

Over The County

Latah County Press: The strike on
the Potlatch Lumber company's log
glng trains, which occurred last
week when the shay operators walk
ed out, has been broken. New
crews have been secured and the
.shays are now running as usual.
But one shay ran during the strike
and it was manned by4T. IP. Jones,
woods superintendent, as engineer
and VIM. Helmer as fireman. The
trainmen were G. j. Nogle. conduc-
tor, and Ed MGuire brakeman. 1t
is reported that the shay hiked
through the woods at express train
speed, cutting across the curves
and that couplings were made on
the fly, while extra men were need
ed to provide fuel, but this is pro-
badly an exageration OF the facts.
The wages Of the strike-operators
ranged from $125 to $3.50 per
month, it is said.
Juiiaetta Record: Advice from
Boise indicates that the commission
which recently Investigated sites
in the northern part of the state for
the location of the state tuber-
.culosis sanitarium have decided
upon purchasing the late Lewis r.
Clark estate, the former summer
home of the deceased millionaire at
HAYDEN Lake near Occur d'Alene.
The heirs of the estate have been
waiting to sell the property for
sometime but no one wanted 1T at
the price asked so it seems to be up
to the state to take it off their
hands. The patients can at least
use it for summer home the same
as Mr.. Clark did, and in the winter
time hole-up.
Genesee News: The car that the
Genesee Valley Lutheran church

wings of the morning and dwell in
the uttermost parts of the sea; even
there shall thy hand lead me and thy
right hand shall hold me-"
From Buddha's Aphorisms: "Not
in the heavens, o man not in the
midst of the sea, not if thou hidest
thyself in the clefs of the mountains,
wilt thou find a place where thou
canst escape from the effect of thine
own evil actions"
From Plato: "Never wilt thou be
forgotten by the justice of the gods;
not when by making thyself insight
fcent thou descendest down under
the ground, nor when by making thy
self high thou flyest up to heaven,
wilt thou be able to escape the pun
ishment thou deservestt, whether thou
stayest here or are carried away to
Hades or are transferred to place
still more desolate."
All three teach the idea of no es-
cape from the evil deeds, but in only
one, the Psalms, is there ray of
hope or comfort, no matter where
"even there shall thy hand lead me
and thy right hand hold me-" =

Death of MIR. Byron West

After being i'll but short time,
Mr.. Byron West died at his home in
the Berea-Pleasant Lane section
Thursday afternoon, acute indiges-
tion being the cause of his death. His
sickness was of such short duration
that very few people knew anything
of it until his death was announced.
He was born and reared in the COM
munity in which he died, where he
will be missed by his friends and the
people generally. The funeral was
conducted at Berea church Friday
afternoon, the Rev. H. B. White Of
fciating.
Mr.. West is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Mary j. West, one sister, Mrs,
Mary Emma Etheredge and one
brother, Mr.. Frank West, who resides
in Augusta.

There is No Escape.

There are three passages, one writ
ten in Palestine, one in India, and
one in Greece, form the Psalms, from
Buddha and from Plato, all teaching
that moral law is everywhere and
that. there is no escape from the eff
feet of evil deeds. The triple coinci-
clence is enforced, so to speak, by the
striking similarity of expression.
The first is from Psalms, seth;
ITO, "Whither shall I go from thy
spirit? or whittier shall l flee from
thy presence? If I ascend up into
heaven, thou art there; if I make my
led in hell, thou art there. If take

Editor Advertiser:

Editor Advertiser:
Oar young men who so nobly gave
themselves in, defense of our land
and country are now being discharg-
ed from the army. In my opinion it
would be good thing if there could
be a permanent record kept Of these
young men. Many of them will lcse
or let be destroyed their discharges
in some way. So if all of them who
have their discharges will file them
with me, will record them in book
which I will arrange for the purpose
and will do so free of charge to them.
A permanent record of these dis
charges may some day be of value to
them to say nothing of the informa-
tion it will be to future generations.
Yours,

School Making Good Record.
Citizens Work the Public
Road. Grain Looking
Well.

The farmers of Cleora are making
good of this, the first open weather
we have had this year when the
ground would do to plow, break and
prepare for planting, but am sorry
you are still having rains around
Edgefeld.
Our supervisor promised US if we
would fill up the bad holes in the road
from Cleora to Edgefeld he would
send one of the road scrapes and
few hands and clean out the bitches
and scrape the road. On the 18th, we
worked the road with fifty or sixty
hands, white and colored, and filled
all bad holes from the Martin Town
rad to the John Hill place, and MIR.
'3roadwater said he would be here
soon Friday morning with the scrape
if it didn't rain, but the scrape hasn't
gotten here yet, so we think it must
be raining down there for we know
he wouldn't break a promise. If you
see him, tell him it is dry up here and
we are still looking for the scrape.
Mr.. N. D. Robertson is up from
Augusta visiting his daughter, Mrs
P. B. Thomas.
Mr.. W. P. Brunson is improving
slowly, is able to be up and ride a.
round.
Mrs. L. R. Brunson is spending a
few days with her father, Mr.. M. A.
MINIS, who has been right sick for the
last few weeks.
The Brunson School which is being
taught by Miss Patrick and Miss
Lowry is getting along nicely. Only
lost three days on account of inf1u-:

among the whites in this community.

ed them with fine little girl.
have never seen grain crops look
ing better at this time Of the year.
with favorable weather from now on,
think we viii make a full crop Of oatst
and wheat on what was sown.
L. R. Brunson, Jr., came home last
week with his discharge from the
navy. We hope by June all cur boys
will be back.
Most of the farmers around here
are at sea on the cotton seed ques-
tion. We expected to swap seed for
meal for fertilizer, or sell seed and
buy fertilizer. Now we can't sell seed.
They are most too expensive to use
for manure, so we don't know what
to do with them.
Only two white farmers in this
school district refused to sign the
cotton pledge.
Since the weather opened up we
are having good Sunday School at
our school house and a good Sunbeam
Band.

Interesting Letter From Stan
more Townes Who is in the
Homeland Again.
New Port News, Va,
March 90, 1919.

| AholSil ~, io1c'
Editor Advertiser:
Eleven days ago the 9th sailed
from St. Nazaire on the Princess Ma
toika. She arrived in New Port News
at O'Clock this morning.
The U. S. S. Princess Matoika and
the U. S. S. Rinjdam, on which was a
part of The old 30th Division, had a
neck to neck race across the Atlantic.
The Rinidain got an hours start on
the Princess Matoika at st. Nazaire
and beat the latter boat across by a
bare hour.
We crossed the Bay of B;scay and
came by the Azores then westward 20
New Port News.
The old Bay of Biscay was pretty
rough so the second day out at sea
the fishes were well fed.
A Georgia soldier of extremely
dark hue belonging to certain. cas-
ual company, stood at the rail just
after breakfast with his mess kit in
one hand and his other graphing the
rail. The boat gave a dive to star
board and then a lurch to port-the
bow dipped down and big wave
swept over the deck-then this SOW
ereign son of Georgia lost his break
fast. Two sailors stood near by: "Bet
you two bits, mate, he heaves again. "
"Bet you two he doesn't" The latter
sailor lost his two bits. The two eyed
the negro closely and the second bets
the first: "Four bits he heaves a
third"
-Four bits he doesn't"
The boat tossed pretty badly and
the old negro gave up the last bit Of
his breakfast to the sea.
So while the sailors gambled on the
oceans actions on the negro's stonl-
ach, the old negro, after disposing OF
all his breakfast, threw his mess kit
overheard also: "I'se done wild you
no more need fur mess kit on dis
boat"
On arriving at New Port News the
soldiers on the Princess Matoika were
welcomed by big band. And as we
hiked through town to camp we were
cheered by the people who lined the
streets and given a rousing welcome
! The townspeople rushed up to the
ilong column to hands as we marched
ialong.
The regimental formation was al,
most broken at one time-such a
ihurrah and continued cheering.
We stay for a day or so then go to
different camps to get our discharges
as the 37th is made up of men from
every state in the Union.
