 That desn't matter. I come here to earn my living not for the sake of company. but so far every one has been polite to me-" She felt impelled to defend Grayson, who sat in his usual seat facing the musicians gal lery.
 Tt is because I like you so much that I am warning you. Don't trust that young man. Don't let him wait for you outsidei"
 Nan bit her lip as she protested that the young man referred to had never suggested such thing. It was true; and suddenly she realized that she all most resented his failure to push the acquaintnce beyond mods and smiles.

FARMERS WANT THE GOOD ROADS
Contractor Says Views Concerning
Good Roads Are Being Changed

Byron H. Walker arrived here We'd
nesday and remained until Saturday
visiting his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
S. Walker and attending to business
matters.
For the past year Mr.. Walker has
been doing contract work with his
auto truck in various parts of Wash
ington and he has just taken an eight
mile contract for hauling of gravel
near Loon Lake, Wash.
He states that in all parts OF Wash
ington the farmers are beginning to
realize the value of good, permanent
roads and that where bond issues for
road purposes used to be hard to put
over the people now clamor for ways
and means of securing better roads.
1.-The farmer" said Mr.. Walker, has
begun to realize that with good roads
he does not need to depend on the
railroads. He can get prompter and
surer service with auto trucks and
with his car he can go anywhere al
anytime and come and go as he choos-
es. The farmer is also fast beginning
to realize that the good roads being
built near his farm increases its value
to a very large extent. 1t is now com
ing to an age when the district with
out good roads will be Stunned by
every prospective farm buyer and this
realization is resulting in so muc1
road work and improvements Just now
in all parts of the country.

HELP TO RID TOWN OF WEEDS
Civic League Is Asking Cooperation OF
All Citizens of Boomers Ferry

The ladies' Civic League is making
an urgent request of the residents OF
Boomers Ferry to aid in Kidding the
town of unsightly and noxious weeds,
particularly the burdock and thistle.
These pests can soon be exterminated
and will cease to be an eyesore on the
streets and in the yards of our little
city if each and every one will do his
part in this campaign by clearing his
own premises, sidewalks and alleys
from them. Now while they are
green and easily cut little work with
hoe and spade will dispose of them;
if allowed to remain until they become
dry and tough and covered with sticky
burrs, their removal is more of prob
lem. 1t is certainly no Improvement
to neat residence or pretty lawn to
have a row of Skunk cabbage" or this
ties fringing the outer edge of the side
walk, neither is 1t credit to our town
to have vacant lots or areas back OF
business lots covered with such weeds
The tourist season is at hand and
tourists passing through are apt to
notice these evidences of laxity in
civic tidiness and to make unfavorablt
comparison between our town and
other towns in which progressiveness
of the citizens is displayed by nea
premises and wellkept yards anC
streets.
A resident of Bonners Ferry who hal
been successful in Kidding his premises
and adjacent lots of burdocks. makes
the following suggestion: Cut thu
burdock off close to the ground, thel
with a spike or sharp stick make
hole down into the root and fill thi
hole with coal oil. This treatmen
invariably destroys the root entirel
and the plant will not grow again. Al
so plain "elbow grease" pep and per
severance in whacking down the pest
whenever they start to grow will in
evitably discourage the most stubbor
weeds.-Mrs. A. G. Wilson.

Washington was a farmer at the
time Of his death and loved the soil
devOtedly. President Lincoln lived
close to the soil and as boy believed
firmly in the broadening effect Of liv-
ing nationally in the country. His
viewpoint can be had from the follow
ing quotation:
mo other occupation opens SO wide
q field for the profitable and agreeable
combination of labor with cultivation
thought as agriculture. / know moth

cOvery Of anything that is at once

how vast and varied a field Is agri-
culture for such discovery. The mind
already trained to thought in the
country school, or high school, cannot
fail to find there an exhaustive source
Of enjoyment. Every blade of grass
is q study; and to produce two where
there was but one Is both q profit and
