THE PALOUSE AND PROSPERITY

With the coming of spring, Mos
COW and the Palouse country are en-
tering on a season of more than or
binary activity. The stress of war is
past and people are beginning to give
their undivided attention to the ad-
vancement of their own business af-
fairs, and are ready to invest that
money which has been lying idle for
the past two years, waiting for the
war clouds to scatter and conditions
settle down. Coupled with this is
the excellent prospects for a wheat
crop, with the government guarantee
ing So bushel for the product. With
a normal yield, which we are prac-
tically certain of, the Palouse coun-
try farmer will get greater returns
on his work and his investment this
ence His prosperity will result in
good business conditions, bullying
bank vaults and general building up
in the community.
Inc lead IN permanent improve
ments during the year will be taken
on the farms. Many modern homes
will be built in the district tributary
to Moscow, The Star Mirror is in
formed, and good barns will take the
place of the saggy-roofed buildings
that have been made to serve on some
farms. The prosperity which the Pa
louise valley enjoys will be evidenced
IN these improvements. Within a
very few years the improvements on
the Palouse farm will rival those on
the farms of the middle states, where
land is selling for $500 an acre, and
the easterner who travels through
this district will marvel at its wealth.
Bet your money on the Palouse.

Women Lose Positions.
With the closing Of the munition

out Of work. A number of these had

homes. Another group came from

Deen reabsorbed in the small factories

the remainder who belonged in VIII
mington have largely returned 70 their
former jobs.
1T IS impossible TO tell. as vet. TO
what extent women will be retained on
work at which they have replaced men.
The tendency so FAR has been TO dismiss
the women in favor Of the men. There
has been a decided falling of in the
employment Of women on machine
work. This Is due, I feel, TO the fact
that women were given no regular
training in this line Of work, but were
merely used as operators Now that
skilled men are available the women
have been forced TO leave. A number
Of employers have expressed their in
tentions to retain few Of the women
who have made good, but they will
take on no more women and will re-
place with men as these women leave.
"The future Of colored women in in
dustry seems uncertain. All who were
employed as yard laborers have been
replaced by men and a large number
who were employed as elevator oper-
ators and jsnitors in ofice buildings
have been dismissed. The morocco fac
tories seem TO be the only industry
which will retain the colored women

While We are Waiting
for Those Good Roads

In the mean time, all of us who
drive cars are going to stick now
and again. A resourceful motorist
whose car has been stuck in the
mud does not always have to fall
back on pair of mules to get free.
For such an emergency the United
States Tire company offers some sug-
gestions that have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere. in the car stack
of old newspapers. When the car
gets stuck and the wheels refuse to
take hold, feed in some of the old
papers between the tires and the
mud. Usually only a few will have
to be worked in before the wheels
will begin to grip and the car start
forward. This method of handling
difficult situation is SO simple and
so uniformly successful, that every
motorist should know of it and carry
a pile of old newspapers, unless he
is equipped with some other ap-
paratus for such contingency.
Here is the other method sug-
gested by the United States Tire
company: Put the car in low, and if
you cannot feed the gas with your
foot evenly, so that the wheels will
revolve slowly, put your emergency
brake on. Do not put it on so that
the wheels will not revolve at all,
but tightly enough to keep them
from revolving rapidly. With the
wheels turning slowly, the maximum
pull is delivered to them by having
the car in low gear and so long as
they turn slowly they can get the
benefit of the tremendous power.
1t is not always wise to fill the
hole with stones or bricks, for their
rough edges are hard on tires. Small
branches of trees are better, as they
offer much better tractive space.
Should this method fail, quite often
a slight push that would not much
more than move a baby buggy will
furnish just the added amount of
power necessary to get the car 60
ing.
