LEWISTON WHEAT
At sl.95 TO $500
SOME HAD BEEN CONTRACTED
AT $2.45-HARVEST IN FULL
SWING THERE
Lewiston Tribune.)

Lewiston Tribune.)
The Lewiston wheat market, fol
lowing the slump in prices on the
Chicago market, has been ranging
from S1.95 to So, dealers reported
yesterday. Prior to the harvest, some
wheat was sold as high as $2.45.
Elmer Bever having marketed a
quantity at that figure. The price
then dropped to $2.35 and 1920 when
the marked decline in the world mar
kets occurred. Up to this time but a
small percentage of the grain crop of
the Lewiston region has been sold,
both grower and buyer occupying a
hesitating position.
There is no barley market at this
time. Corn is being marketed at $65
ton as compared to $75 ton at this
season last year.
The results to date on wheat
threshing in the immediate Lewiston
district show very fine average
yields, 80 to 40 bushels. Earl Cooper
at the old Stevens place, southeast of
Lewiston, secured AZ bushels. Before
the close of the present week thresh-
ing will be in full blast in all the i'm
mediate Lewiston wheat zone, includ-
ing tIic w dHd QlSJI1Cl. mere lids UCCIl
some cutting already in the Palouse
and prairie sections and harvest will
be under way there next week. The
prairie and the Palouse promise big
yields.
P. H. Barnes, who purchased the
Clifford property south of the city
and adjoining Lewiston Orchards on
the west, his residence being in the
western portion of that district, is
now engaged in harvesting his field
of 500 acres of wheat He is using
combine and has harvested about
half of the field.
About 40 acres of this are spring
wheat, of the marcus variety, and has
the heaviest yield, the remainder
being winter wheat, of the turkey red
variety.
About one third of the whole was
hit by the hail and damaged about
so per cent Not making allowance
for the hail damage the yield runs
about 80 bushels to the acre, or
total of $4,000 bushels. The loss on
the third hit by hail would be from
$4,000 to $4,000 probably, but the net
returns on the 500 acres promise to
reach handsome figure.

Deputy State Game Warden l.. E
Brooks reports the arrest and filming
of two Italians, z. Ernesto and Pezz-
abon Romano, at Potlatch, for killing
ducks during the closed season. Mr.
Brooks says many ducks have nests

shooting the old ducks and killing the
young with clubs. He watched the
two men arrested kill three young
ducks which had been chased into
the reeds in shallow water, and then
arrested them. They were taken to
Potlatch where Justice of the Peace
Balch fined each $50 and costs,
amounting to SIS in each case, making
a total of $110 collected from the
pair.

Enemies
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

DEOPLE are known and judged
i quite as much by the kind of En-
emies they make as by the kind of
Friends they have.
Choose your Enemies.
Many a man or woman has been
handicapped by having some one else
choose their Enemies for them. For
Enemies must needs come to every
fOrceful Character, sooner or later.
And If you do the choosing of your
Enemies, you know the kind you have
to deal with.
Choose your enemies.
Another strong point about cho ~,!ng
your w Enemies, is that you an
study them TO better advantage chan
If some one else chose them for you
and acted as a Coach to them. For
many a man, by close application 10
the study of his Enemies, a finally
make them his Friends!
Choose your Enemies.
Enemies have the most to do with
end cluster most around those who are
d dIu III as
have big plans and important work to
perform and to go ahead with it with
out fear or favor, is to create Enemies
from Somewhere. But enemies never
come around unless you become Eff
fective and Monumental in your eff
forts. Then the Enemies get busy.
Choose your Enemies.
But never for a single moment allow
the work of your Enemies &c deter
you from your forward fight. Accept
them as q matter of course, eve al
lowing yourself to get down to their
level. For then they may swoop down
upon you and bewilder and defeat
you.
Choose your Enemies.
And remember that by always re-
naming bigger than your Enemies,
you pave a path owe which they may
finally walk as your Friends.

LAST NIGHTS DREAMS
WHAT THEY MEAN

must be done at once on awakening,
for though some dreams are SO vivid
that they can be remembered for
years, as a rule the dream edifice dis
solves rapidly and we can only recover
q fragment here and there. The ex-
p%erience of the day which has most re-
Gently passed which is brought over
into the realm Of shadows is frequent
ly disguised or distorted, but can be
discovered upon a close analysis. Thus
a lady dreamed n night that she had
found a fine baby sewed up in q live
Goldfish. The day preceding she had
admired one Of her neighbours children
and had stop ed at the market to buy
a fish o. her way home. The mystics
would go further in interpreting this
dream. They say that to see a fish In
a dream means good fortune, especial
ly If they are white or red. To see fish
swimming about, unless the water is
muddy, is an omen that rich and DOW
erful people will do you favors, and to
dream of catching fish means you will
be successful in love and business. But
TO dream OF dead fish is ~unfavOrable,
and If a live fish slip out of your hand
you will marry a person of a roaming
disposition. Also, with a slippery fish,
beware Of slippery friends. To 60 fish,
ing and catch nothing means disap-
pointment In Dreamland, just as II
does in the actual world.

A NATURE SPREE.

It's getting on to spring again,
My thoughts are on the wing again
To joys that are to be;
And in a few short weeks again
The hills and woods and creeks agail
Will whisper things to me.
And every bird and bee again
Will sing their tunes to me again
And tell me 1t is May,
And like a spendthrift wild again,
Or as a little child again
I'll throw a day away.
~~
I'll quit the ceaseless grind again
And leave all are behind again
Nor think about the cost;
I'll spend an idle day again,
Nor count, the while I play again,
The gold that may be lost.
I'll chum with brook and sky again
And let the mad hours fly again,
AS sailors home from sea-.
And for a little while again
I'll be myself and smile again
A tOiler on a spree.

Buses ~ Silent. as In Mud).


Buses are of three kinds: Omni.
jitney and incu.
Sometimes the first two become the
latter, and then there is a for sale"
ad.
The omni is perhaps the commonest
kind, taking the towns by and large,
especially by.
The regular village omnibus Is q
cross between a milk-wagon and q
hearse.
1t is as s%pringless as the Sahara
desert. and is lighted for the trips to
the night train with a seventeen
skunk : power : one sixteenth : candle
power Kerosene glim, whose chimney
is I'm deep mourning.
The jitney bus Is Of newer vintage.
but is already accommodating a charac.
teristic perfume.
In fact. it has always been in bad
odor with street railway companies
Cnd their stockholders.
The incu kind may be almost any,
thing from a wife to a carbuncle.
The plural Of incubus is incubi.
And while an incubus is a singular
thing, 1t is almost always in the
plural.
