The Reason Why

why did you leave the farm, my
lad?
Why did you bolt and leave your
dad?
Why die you beat it off to town
And turn your poor old father down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press
Are wallowing in deep distress
They seek to knoW the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas.
Some say they long toget taste
Of faster life and social waste,
And some will say the silly chumps
Mistake their suit cards for their
trumps
In waging fresh and germless air
Against the smoky thoroughtare.
We're all agreed the farms the
place,
So free your mind and state your
case"
'Sii, oeh oiSSi, SiiiSC yOu We USSll
so frank,
I'll roll aside my hazy bank,
The misty cloud of theories,
And tell you where the trouble lies:
| left my dad, his farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his cow;
| left my dad-'twas wrong, of
Because my colt became his horse;
l left my dad to sow and reap -
Because my lamb became his sheep;
| dropped my hoe and stuck my fork
Because my pig became his pork;
The garden truck that | made grow
Was his to sell but mine to hoe;
It's not the smoke in the atmos-
phere
Nor the taste for life that brought
me here:
Please tell the platform, pulpit,
No fear of toll or love of dress
Is driving off the farmer lads,
But just the method of their dads

Kepdrick IL, Lapwai 7

The Kendrick baseball team had
a batting day Thursday afternoon
and ran up II scores against the
Indians 7. 1t wasn't an air-tight
game but there were many interest
ing features. The fielding by the
Kendrick boys In the outfield was
great. They took in everything that
came their way.
Densow and Forest were Kend-
rick's battery and Jimmy White
and Charlie White did the twirling
for Lapwai. Densow pitched a good
game allowing but few hits.
Mcdowell on snort and Fred Boil
on on third was a change over the
old lineup. They both played good
ball.
The purse of $25 was won by the
home team.

A Business Mans Prayer

Teach me that sixty minutes make
one hour, sixteen ounces one pound,
and one hundred cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that | can lie
down at night with a clear con-
science, without a gun under my
pillow, and unhaunted by the faces
of those to whom | have brought
pain.
Grant that | may earn my meal
ticket on the square, and that, in
earning it, may not stick the gaff
in where it does not belong.
Deafen me to the jingle of taint-
ed money and the rustic of unholy
skirts. Blind me to the faults of
the other fellows, but reveal to me
mine own.
Guide me so that each night when
| look across the dinner table at my
wife, who has been blessing to me,
l shall have nothing to conceal
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children.
And when comes the smell o1
flowers, and the tread of soft steps
and the crunching of wheels out in
front, make the ceremony short ano
the epitaph simple HERE LIES
MAN.-Selected.

Vacation Planning

Beneath the skies of June we bask
and sigh with great elation, and
then we run against the task of
planning our vacation. We'd like
to emulate a goat and climb the
mountains summit and motor,
swim, canoe and boat and journey
south, gosh dun it. We long to seek
the shady creeks with other sports
men Jealous and whip the stream
for two whole weeks and make Ike
Walton jealous. We yearn to hit
the beach resort and get our sum-
mer tanning. but since our time for
play is short twill take some care
full planning.
Each night we get the outing
guide and read it with our finger
and do our darndest to decide upon
a place to llnger. And when we
choose spot that's cool beside the
restless ocean our next of kin may
overrule and ridicule the notion.
We surely need d good long rest
some soothing recreation, provided
we survive the test Of planning oul
vacation. We're surely in an awfu
sweat; we feel heap like poutine
for fear We'll overlook bet ane
spoil our summer outing. For II
we take pail and spade and dig fol
beach canaries, we'll wish we,
sought some upland glade to dance
with nymphs and fairies. And i
we scale, as many do, the mountain
peak to shiver, we'll wish wee
straddled canoe and gypsied dow
the river.
When back to work again we sill
to carry home the bacon, well thel
recall that dandy trip we reall
should have en.-Selecred.

Good Alfalfa Fields

Star -Mirror:-Alfalfa is in full
blast in this section and the best
yield in three years is being har-
vested. There is large acreage of
alfalfa in Latah county, where the
soil seems admirably adapted to it's
growth and good profits are made
from raising it. In the foot hills
near the mountains alfalfa is the
most profitable crop that can be
grown owing to the prevalence of
ferns which interfere materially
with the grain. C. W. Williams,
near Viola, has been raising alfalfa
successfully for several years on
land that had proved worthless for
grain because of ferns. He says he
alfalfa has killed the ferns and he
gets one good crop every year and
frequently two good gcrops Of al
falfa a season. None of the alfalfa
land is irrigated.
R. G. West, whose land joins Mos
cow on the south, has just sold his
crop of alfalfa off IA acres and real
lied more than $50 per acre. He
has AZ tons, 610 pounds of alfalfa
on ID acres Of measured ground, or
a little more than three tons to the
acre. He sold it in the field for 500
per ton, and expects half as much
per acre for the second crop. He
cut the hay several days ago and
got it cured and sold without rain.
Mr.. West has been using land plas-
ter as a fertilizer for his alfalfa
land. He say he finds this has in
creased the yield from 80 to SO per
cent. He ran out of the plaster be-
fore hegot the entire field covered
last spring and left about half an
acre that was not treated with the
plaster and the alfalfa was little
more than half as heavy on this as
on the remainder of the field.
Farmers in this section are rails
ing more alfalfa each year and by
tilizing the land in this way
are getting better results. A num-
ber of them have small tracts in
alfalfa near Moscow and during the
past few years have made it pay
better than grain. A scarcity OF
seed prevented a large increase ir
the acreage of alfalfa in this sec.
! tlon this season.
With the production Of alfalfa
and clover for forage and peas
beans and corn, which is used large
ly for silage, the acreage of sum
ner fallow land in Latah county
has been greatly reduced in the
past few years and this year it i:
claimed there is less lying idle
in summer fallow than at any time
in the past 20 years.

Money in Strawberries

l.. H. Nichols is delivering straw
berries this week from his place on
Texas rige. He says the crop there
this season is exceptionally good
and the berries of fine quality. This
year he has little less than an acre
of ground and estimates he will get
from it nearly 200 crates of berries.
Other favorable seasons he has pick
ed l6S crates from an acre.
1t is necessary to plow up the
berries every few years and replant
as the plants run out. Mr.. Nichols
piowed up over three acres last fall
and has young plants that will be-
gin to bear next year. He raises
the Crescent and Hood River var
ieties, perferring the Hood River
as this variety ships better.
There is a good demand here for
berries and the price locally opened
up this week at from $3.50 to S4.0O
crate. This is good price and
makes crop of Strawberries very
profitable. Mr.. Nichols has been
raising strawberries for eight years.
His berry patch paid for his farm.
He says it is very tedious work to
set out plants, care for them and
pick the berries but he has made
money at it and expects to increase
the size of his patch.

Moscow S, kendrick 4

Last Sunday afternoon Orotino
was scheduled to play a game of
baseball here with the local team.
but at the last minute the manager
phoned that it would be impossible
for the team to come. Manager
Wilcox got busy on the wire and it
was not long until he had framed
up a game between Moscow and
Kendrick to be played on the Kend-
rick diamond right after the game
between Moscow and Juliaetta,
which was played at Juliaetta, and
by the way, resulted in a score of z
to 10 in favor of Moscow.
The game started with Densow
and Forest battery for Kerdrick
and Rittig and Fox tor Moscow
team. Three scores IN the first in
ming on the part of Moscow team
was too much of a lead for Kendrick
to overcome. The defeat of the
home team was due to number of
exceedingly costly errors. Three
times kenurick had man on first
and second with only one out, and
failed to score. Retitg, the Mos
COW pitcher, did excellent work in
the box and pitched particularly
we'll in the pinches. Densow did
good work for Kendrick but lacked
support at several critical stages of
the game. 1t seemed to be an off
day for kendrick. The game re.
suited in a score of q to 5 in favor
of Moscow.
Mcdowell and Smith umpired
the game and their decisions were
very far.
The following account of the two
games was given in the Star-M Mirror:
The Moscow base ball team jour-
neyed to Juliaetta yesterday and
from there to Kendrick playing
both teams and defeating both in
the same afternoon. The Juliaetta
game was a rather loose played
game with a great deal OF rag
chewing Two or three uf the
Juliaetta players considering it
necessary to chew the rag continual
ly, notwithstanding the fact that
both of the umpires were Juliaetta
men, the players from that town
team seemed to deem it necessary
at every decision to crab and left
the impression among a good num-
ber of the spectators that they were
mighty poor losers.
The Kendrick team is a team of
good sports and good ball players
and the game there was a close one,
featured by mighty fine pitching.
Rettig for Moscow pitched an ex-
ira fine game. The Moscow team
showed wonderful Improvement
since their last game and ought to
be in dandy shape for their games
on the Fourth with good practice
between now and then. The scores,
Jullaetta 7, Moscow 10. Kendrick
a, Moscow 5.
Hendricks players were lined up
as follows: Forest, catcher; Den
sow, pitcher; Brown, f. base; Nc.
Crea, S base; Rognstad, t. base; Nc.
Creary, short stop; Boyd, |. field;
Carroll, C. field; Compton, r. field

MUST HAVE NEW
NAME To LEARN A
NEW OCCUPATION
William Aston Jones Cannot
Get Vocational Training Un-
til District Court Permits
Him to Become VIM. Aston,

Before he can be accepted for vo-
cational training, offered by Uncle
Sam to soldiers who have been dis
abled in military service. William
Aston Jones has to change his name.
That looks easy but the adopted
name must be legal. so Jones applied
to District Judge Hickey for permits
sion to drop the Jones"
There's nothing wrong with the
."Jones" which has been distinctive
ly American since the days of the rev.
.olutionary naval hero and before then
but the applicant served in the
army under another name, having en-
listed in the signal corps at Llano
Grande, Tex, as William Aston, pre-
sumably-although his petition does
not so state--tO honor his grand
parents. Aston is their surname and
Jones said he made his home with
them at Dayton, Ohio, from the time
he was months old until he was is
years They wish him to adopt their
name, he added.
Jones said he was informed by his
commanding officer that the judge
advocate would legalize the name OF
Aston. He learned, however, when
he applied fi vocational training
that the name had not been legallzed
and he was informed that it would be
necessary for him to have the name
under which he served legalized before
his application could be accepted. He
was disabled in the army from re-
turning to his customary occupation.

These meetings are held twice a
year and their purpose is to bring to-
gether traffic department officials TO
discuss methods by which damage to

be avoided.
Railroads pay out thousands of
dollars every year in settlement of
claims, and while the time is never
expected to arrive when patrons will
quit submitting claims, just or 9TH
erwise, the railways have found that
campaign of education carried on
among their employees has had the
effect of reducing this expenditure
which represents a direct loss to the
carriers.
The hotels were filled to overflow
ing astsnight and Aldo Leopold, sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
was on hand finding rooms in pri-
vate homes for those who could rot
be accommodated elsewhere. The
Chamber of Commerce will have an
information bureau in the Aivarado

PRACTICE THRIFT is
MILNE'S ADM0NITl0N
AT FELLOWSHIP LUNCH

Thrift was the timely text used by
Superintendent John Milne of the
schools in addressing the fellowship
luncheon at the Y. NJ G.. A. Sunday
night. Mr.. Mines remarks dealt
mainly with the necessity for purchas-
ing War Savings Stamps, not only as
a means of aiding the government in
settling its bills contracted as a re-
suit of the war, but also to encourage
saving among the people of moderate
income.
The speaker said part of the cam
paign plan for pushing the sale of
stamps in this city consisted of form
ing clubs in connection with existing
organizations, that is, churches,
lodges and others. Following this
idea those present at the luncheon or
oanized for the purpose of boosting
the sale of stamps, and elected j. A.
Riehl president, and II. II. Alderman,
secretary
There were ten native born New
Mexicans at the luncheon, more than
from any other state, which was de-
termined after each guest had an
nounced where he was born. The 9TH
