Fashions

Today l viewed my photograph
when was young and single. The
funny fashions made me laugh,
which made the cut glass jingle. l
snickered, Gracious, pipe that tie,
that four-lnch air-tight collar! You
doggoned dude-Ah me! O my!" the
humor made me holler;.
l we'll recall those collars stiff,
so high and gullet-poking, and
those who wore 'em looked as if
upon the point Of choking. We'd
put the torture stall in place and
suffocate for fashion; our girls
would think our reddened face de-
noted ardent passion.
The peg-top trousers made me
smile; ] looked so dinged conceited;
the padded coat was then in style
the shape was boxed and pleated
The lad who lacked in shoulder,
blades, whose chest was far from
spacious, could buy some paddec
ready-mades that made HIM lool
pugnacious.
And, holy blazes, what vest
with horseshoe pattern screaming
l must of worn it for jest or pos
sibly Pm dreaming. And squin1
those classy toothpick shoes, fc,
which l paid real money. The vision
chased away the blues, they Looked
so downright funny.
And then | stood before the glass
my modish raiment needing. Ho,
quickly do the fashions pass as year
go by a-speeding! l viewed m

scout, you're just as big bloomin
fool as ever" ."-Ex.

Road Builders Busy

The Kendrick Highway Commits
sioners, accompanied by E. P.
Atchison, secretary of the district,
went to Moscow Monday to meet
with the board of county commits
sioners. At this meeting the county
commissioners turned over all
moneys, road building machinery
and tools belonging to the various
road districts which are included
in the Kendrick highway district.
About $500, representing the total
sum in the treasures of the five
road districts, was turned over and
this money Will be used on the
roads within the highway district.
There are two road districts on
American Ridge, one on Little Bear
Ridge, one on Big Bear Ridge and
one on Texas Ridge.
, The road machinery and tools
turned over by the county commits
sioners will supply the highway
district with enough road machin-
cry to serve for the time being.
The county commissioners ex-
pressed the sentiment that more
money would be available on the
roads in this district by the form
alton of highway district. Seven
ty-five percent of the automobile
tax money will be used on the roads
of the district. 1t will net approx
imateIy $500 a year. The district
may also vote a larger tax levey if
it so desires.
) 1t is becoming more apparent
, every day that the selection of the
three commissioners who represent
) the Kendrick highway district, was
a good one. The commissioners are
5 interesting themselves IN the road
5 building problems of the district
, and are profiting by some OF the
mistakes made by neighboring dis
tricts, so there is every indication
that the road building that will be
mapped out by them will be sue
cessful and practical.

Met With Commissioners

E. E. BechtoI met with the county
commissioners at Moscow last
Monday to close up the financial
matters relative to the new grade
between Kendrick and Jullaetta.
The amount of money pledged for
the road was turned over to the
commissioners and they then made
appropriation to cover half the cost
of the road as agreed. A full re-
port of the disposal of the money in
building this strip of road will be
published in the Gazette in a later
issue.

Big Store Selling Goods

As fast as the shelving and paint
ing is being finished in the Kend-
rick Store, the new goods are being
placed on the shelves. A large
amount of merchandise has already
been sold, almost as it is unpack-
ed. There is every indication that
the new store is going to enjoy
thriving business. The arrange
ment of the fixtures and new shelv-
ing has given the store bright,
attractive appearance. One OF the
new features of the store will be a
ladies' rest room in the balcony al
the rear of the store.

ing only sold the stock and fixtures
Mr.. Grove is we'll known to the
people of this community, having

the nearly five years he conducted
the business and Mr.. Groves has tn

A MESSAGE OF CANCELLATION
Letter From President to Conference
VIII Only Be Used BY Chairman
Lane As Last Resort.

Washington.-After a day of uncer-
tainty during which President Wilson
sent to Secretary Lane, chairman, a
message Of conciliation to be used as
last resort" the national indus
trial conference cleaned its slate by
rejecting all collective bargaining res
olutions, as well as the labor propo-
sal for Intervention in the steel strike.
The public group aligned with CAPT
tai on the vote against both the origi-
nal collective bargaining and steel
strike resolutions. although the dec.
laration on collective. bargaining was
proposed by the public delegates.
Should labor show a disposition to
bolt the conference, Chairman Lane
will undoubtedly use the Presidents
letter in an effort to avert the crisis.
The message. 1t was understood, re-
stated the purpose for which the con.
ference was convened. emphasized
the urgency OF the need for allaying
dustrial unrest, and makes q plea
for further work on the part OF the
conferences.

Forks near Clio. 1t was a very wet
season and an excavation that was be-
ing made on the place became filled
with water that seeped in from below

pearing on the surface of the water,

Quaintances. they became curious and
began investigating and speculating
on the probable composition of the
substance. A newspaper which was
saturated with the substance burned
with explosive rapidity, which was
sufficient evidence of oil possibilities
to create considerable excitement
Mr.. Jackson was urged at the time
to develop the prospect. This he has
finally agreed to and states that a
petition for charter has been mailed

commission to create a corporation Of
about 100000, the estimated cost OF
carrying the operations to definite
conclusion and he hopes to begin oper.
