U. Lee Mcguire Lands
Big Job in Chicago.

According to a recent dispatch to the
Baltimore News, our old polite u and
personal friend Mr.. L Lee Mcguire,
of Budd's Greek, st. Mary's County,
left Sunday for the Republican Ma
tional Convention in Chicago. He has
been appointed an assistant sergeant
alarms of the convention by National
Committeeman William z. Jackson,
at the request of Senator France, Con-
gresham Mudd and o. E. Weller
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Mcguire
was similarly honored by the Repub-
liean National Convention at Chicago
four years ago.
Just before leaving Sunday the News
dispatch says II. Lee" predicted the
nomination for President of Hiram W.
Johnson. But there's where he was
dead wrong. He may be a success at
landing big National Convention Jobs,
but at prophesying Republican Presi-
Dental candidates, he is much of a
failure,

We have had a glorious rain. Now
it is up to us to keep this moisture
The only way we can do it is by break
ing the crust that will soon form on
top of all cultivated soil into very fine
particles. We will also kill millions
Of small weeds that will soon put in
their appearance The months OF June
and July are the months of warfare
against weeds. They grow more these
two months than any other time of the
year. Keep the soil in which you are
going to put your late potatoes also
stirred and you will almost keep
enough moisture to grow the crop.
The, ought to be planted tie last week
in June or the first week in July.
Do not forget to prepare some land
for alfalfa. 1t ought to be plowod up
now and stirred every week or two un-
til the middle of August; then it will
be ready for the alfalfa seed if theland
has been thoroughly lined. You can
not get too much lime on your alfalfa.

CELEBRATION HERE
WAS SAFE AND SANE
QUIETEST FOURTH OF JULY IN
HISTORY OF MOSCOW-AT
NEARBY POINTS

Goldsmith's deserted Village" had
little on Moscow Monday in the way
of quietness. There have been few
Sundays when the city wore as much
of deserted appearance as it wore on
the day set apart to celebrate the
birth of the nation. Every business
house, except the confectionery stores
and soft drink establishments, was
closed and there were no persons or
rigs or automobiles on the streets,
except at scattered intervals.
The people of the city either re-
mained quietly in their homes or went
to other places to celebrate. The pic
tended and the program greatly en-
ed an able and interesting address to
large audience. The program of
sports was clean and interesting and
the hundreds of persons who attended
from Moscow and surrounding coun-
try and from other towns, enjoyed the
cool shade and rest and quiet. The
ball game between the Moscow Cubs
and the American Ridge team was
close and interesting, the Cubs win
ming by a score of 13 to H.
A number of Moscow people went
to Linnville where a quiet, but inter
esting celebration was held and great
ly enjoyed. Others went to Pullman
where there was a big crowd, free
roast beef, baked beans and coffee,
and two good bands to .enliven the oc-
casion. Many others went to Spo-
kane and Cour d'Alene and to other
towns. The two holidays, Sunday
and July 4th coming together, gave
people ample time to attend celebra-
tions at distance or visit relatives
and friends in other towns.
Moscow business houses did big
business Saturday and Monday fore
noon in supplying the Fourth of July
trade. The Moscow Creamery sold
hundreds of gallons of ice cream, and
was entirely sold out of this necessity
for Fourth of July celebration Mon
day forenoon and refused many
orders The creamery could have
sold several hundred gallons more
than was made The Bon Ton had an
enormous trade and was able to sup
ply it, but ran short of packers and
had to use boxes, tin cans and other !
means Of packing the ice cream to be |
taken to the homes or the places of |
celebration.
There were many quiet picnic par
ties where several families went to
the woods togther and enjoyed a
quiet day in the cool shade The |
weather. was not unpleasant, there /
being cool breeze the greater part |
Of the day.
The Norwegian Lutherans celebrat-
ed in the grove on the Luvaas farm,
five miles northeast of Moscow,
where the day was spent in listening !
to addresses by the Revs. Schmidt,
IF Moscow and Steffensen, of Gene
see, musical program, with foot |
races, and delightful lunches. There
was big attendance and the day I
was greatly enjoyed by all who at
tended
