AUTO STOLEN.

Henry p. Nuxoll, a resident OF
Lewiston, and son of II. II. Nux-
oil of Cottonwood had his auto
mobile stolen in Lewiston last
Friday evening. Mr.. Nuxoll
had been at band practice, after
which he volunteered to take
the band leader to his home.
Arriving at the home of the
band master he was invited into
the home and while in the house
had his hand on the door knob
remaining only for a few min
utes. After coming out of the
house the machine was gone.
The car evidently was pushed by
hand some distance down the
street after which the thief en-
tered the car and drove away.
The car was recovered at Athe-
ma, Oregon.

HOSPITAL PLANS
PROGRESSING
COMMITTEE WORKING ON
PLANS FOR A MODERN
HOSPITAL HERE.

Cottonwood is going to have
a hospital. Such is the plan of
a committee of citizens who
have organized to solicit the
support of the community in
this worthy enterprise. The
committee consisting of John
Hoene, Felix Martzen, j. V.
Baker, w. B. Hussman, DR.. Orr,
John Peterson and j. F. Jenny,
are busy outlining the plans for
organization and financing and
within a few weeks will put the
proposition up to the community
Cottonwood should have a hos
pital and will support such an
institution. Many towns of
less population than Cottonwood
and with no where near as large
a surrounding country find a
hospital self sustaining and
there is no reason why such an
undertaking should not be a sue
cess here. A hospital is not a
money making institution but a
protection for the health and
life of the community that it
serves. Whoever has had the
experience of having to send a
loved one of the family to a
distant hospital, away from
family and friends to be placed
in the keeping of strangers and
inaccessible except at intervals
by some one that accompanies
him who gives both time anc
money for this privilege, viii
realize what a hospital in Cot
tonwood would have meant tt
him under such conditions. We
are for a hospital for Cotton
wood. This news item wa:
given us lust before we went II
press. We shall have more II
say about it next week.

MORE THOROUGHBREDS.

Howard Mckinley on Sunday
evening received three pigs from
Chas. E. Warren of Jerseyville,
Ill.,, The pedigrees of the swine
are as follows:
Sired by Gerstdale Ranger, "a
son of the $6,600) Gerstdale
Jones and out of Gerstdale
Queen, he is a full brother to the
1919, Iowa Grand Champion Fs
Big Jones.
One of the boar pigs is from a
Big Bob SOW, and is a full bro
ther to the litter which won the
American Poland China Associa-
ton promotion show prize.
One gilt is from an 800 Id.
sow by the grand champion Big
Timm. The other from young
sow by Big Bob Wonder, this
sow is a sister to the 1920 Id.
Caldwelrs Big Bob.
The pigs were pretty tired
and sore from their long trip be-
ing five days on the road.
This makes six head of east
ern hogs Howard has added to
his herd this spring and it is his
intention to build up one Of the
best herds to be found in the
northwest.

Whu Did He Leave the Farm?

Why did you leave the farm, my lad?
Why did you bolt and leave your dad?
Why did you beat it off to town
And turn your poor old father down?
Thinkers of platform, pulpit, press,
Are waowng in deep distress;
They seek to know the hidden cause
Why farmer boys desert their pas
Some say they long to get taste
OF faster life and social waste;
And some will say the silly chumps
Mistake their suit cards for their trumps
In wagering fresh and germless air
Against the smoky thoroughfare.
We're all agreed the farms the place.
So free your mind and state your case
WE'LL stranger since you've been so frank,
I'll roll aside .he 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 course
Because my colt became his horse
left my dad to and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep.
dropped my hoe and stuck my fork
Because my pig became his pork.
The garden stuff that made grow,
Twas his to sell, but mine to hoe
1t is not the smoke in the atmosphere,
Nor the taste for life that brought me here.
Please tell the platform, public, press,
No fear of toll or love of dress
Is driving off the farmer lads,
But just the method of their dads.

AS TO ORIGIN or WOMAN
After tho Biblical Story, Belief Hold
by 4ersians Is Easily the Most
Poetical.

magazine writer consumes con-
siderable space in trying to prove that
it Is wrong to teach that woman was
made from Adams rib. He says the
proposition is ridiculous. and while 1t
may have been we'll enough to teacl,
1t in the dim and distant past. we
ought 10 be ashamed Of ourselves FOR
sticking to the 'anpcrstitiUn."
II our own idea or belief Of the ORR
gin OF woman is superstition. thea
1t is quite as good n superstition as
other people have. says the Columbus
Dispatch. For ours is not the only
theory of the origin Of woman. Many
other people have many other theories
or superstitiOns.
The Australian natives believe TINT
woman was once a toad--and that
isn't very nice. II it is true, however.
it shows what wonderful creature
the toad was transformed into and
we can rejoice thcreat. Then th,,
laplanders believe that woman was
once a rabbit. and since rabbit il
more liInblc than toad, we prefer
the I.aplund superstition to the Aus
trallan.
The Japanese believe that woman
grew upon 4 ircC---and tliat is getting
along still better. The fc::thery bios
SONS of the trees. with their color
AMI their perfume, seem more nearly
approaching the rcuim OF wonanhOod
than do rabbits or t0aJs.
But if ever We are compelled tn 1--WE
up our idea that woman was made
from the rib "f man, we are going tn
accept the Persian theory. That *
by all odds the prcttirSt one AMI the
one we could more easily believe than
any other. Tho pcrSianS assert iliar
woman fell from heaven.

A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT

Radicals and progressives' in the for
estry service unite in a program to put
the whole lumber industry and logging
"ratsns connected with timber manu-
features under federal control
Federal control Of the lumber industry
would be great feather in the cap Of the
Pinchotized forest reserve policies and
would hamstring basic Pacific coast in
dustry with official paralysis as it has
Alaska.
The farce of government spruse pro-
duction during the war ought to warn
the people that such step as above indi-
Gated is the most dangerous experiment
ever proposed in our country.
Official documents show that spruce
and cedar for airplanes, that in the open
market could be bought for $110 thous-
and and fir at $65 thousand, were got
out by the government at $287 to 1896
thousand.
Some of the most expensive railroads
built across Montana cost $56, 900 mile
but the logging roads built by the Spruce
division, cost S7O,7 FOG mile and they are
mere temporary constructions that no
one will buy. ' 'A4W
If government lumber production cost
such figure and railroadettes, that the
winter rains wash away, cost from
three to five times what lumbermen
build roads to haul logs, what would the
forestry service do to the lumber indus
