Attendance at the Days of 40
entertainment is not compulsory. Any
one who so chooses may stay away
But as long as we. 7can import the
best theatrical and musical talent OBJ
tainable as we have at past DAYS of
40 entertainments and as long as
the annual shows are so literally pat

which in these days of commercial

NO HELP FROM CITY
In the absence of financial aid from
Che city, from the business men and
from the Commercial club it is am adj
mittod fact that the revenue derived
from the annual Days of 40 enter
tainment is the sole support of the
Cowboy hand, am organization with a
record of real service to this COM
munity. This support the Commercial
club of Grangevillc uuhesitatingly
votes to destroy. by the same ballot
the same Grangeville Commercial club,
which, by the way, has failed to
give the Cowboy band any financial
support for am alamiuglv long period,
resolves MS follows.
That we pledge our support TO the
local band i'm any ndcavor viii has
for its purpose the advancement of
the civic, commercial and moral i'm
terests of Graneeville.
We ask this:
Will the Commercial club now pro
vide sufficient financial aid to employ
am experienced and talented dirceto- I'M
der yearly contract and we have
such a director ready to sign such
contract, or is the paragraph last
above mentioned above referred TO
merely rhetorical bunkl
Or. i'm other words, are not the
events which have led up to the
necessity Of this statement the result
of an attempt to discredit the Cow
boy band and if possible to wreck
that organization or will the Com
mercial club actually provide the fl
nances for the support of the band
in lieu of the support which the
of the club who attended
the luncheon in question so clamorous-
ly voted to Destroy
We do not like this sort of pub
LEFTY. It savors too much of a small
town, ,rangle and we feel it is not
for the best interests of Grangeville,
a city we have boosted and advcrtis-
ed far more than any other organi-
zation in it, We would much rather
work ANONYMOUSLY and cooperative
ly with the Commercial club for the
city S greatest good.
But the Commercial cub has fore
ed the issue.

HARDING FORCES GATHER.

Headquarters for Senator Warren

cago, where his campaign will be con-
tinued aggressively until the nomina-

will be concentrated the forces here
tofore active in the headquarters in

A statement issued from Senator
Harding's headquarters here says:
Senator Harding entered the canvass
for the presidential nomination at the
fcans throughout the country who
believed that he was the kind Of can
didate who should be nominated to
assure party success and to guaran-
tee to the country a strong and ca
pable administration. Not the least
Of these considerations was the fact
that Ohio is essential to republican
success in November. and it was be-
lfeved that Senator Harding was the
strongest possible nominee to insure
Ohio's electoral vote for the republic
can party in the coming campaign.
Nothing has transpired since he en-
tered the campaign to disprove this
belief. His candidacy will, therefore
be presented to the republican ma
tional convention when 1t assemblies
in Chicago with the feeling of con-
fidence that the republicans of the
nation. after carefully Weighing all

ORCHARD
INFORMATION
LADDER FOR PICKING FRUIT
Ordinary Continuance Is Not Sufficient
to Bring All Apples Within
Easy Reach.

One does not have to be picking
apples long before discovering that the
ordinary ladder Is not sufficient to
bring all the fruit within convenient
reach, writes Junius T. Hanchett OF
New Hampshire In Rural New Yorker.
This results In much acrobatlc stretch
ing and slow work, and, some take
chances in risky settings Of the lad
der. There are tripod ladders on the
market. and at not too high prices,
but somehow the farmers do not have
them when picking time comes around,
although they frown at the heavily
loaded limbs just out of reach, and
wish they had something that they
could climb upon to get the fruit with
out shaking the tree.
Last year made five-foot tripod
step-ladder, but that did not get the
sky-scrapers. What was needed was
a regular ladder that would stand
alone. Now have solved the problem
with such ridiculous ease that / want
NY fellows to share In the benefit. All
! did was TO take two ten-foot strips OF
acod 2x2 inches, and free from de-
fects, and connect them at the end
with stout hinge. When In use the
device Is erected like an inverted V,
and 14-foot ladder of the common
type is set against 1t, the point of the
V entering one of the higher inter-
spaces Of the ladder, while the sides
of the ladder find rest and support
about one foot away from the point
OF course 1t would be rather awkward
to make the set-up single-handed, but
that difficulty is readily overcome by
supporting the ladder temporarily in
the chosen position by means of a
seven-f0ot tree prop, whereupon the
V can be placed as leisurely as may
be desired.
A hinged Is better than stiff one,
for on rough ground there is aexibil-
ity in choosing resting points for the
feet. Another advantage Is that 1t

PLAN TO GROW STONE FRUITS
First Separate Stones From Flesh and
After Seeds Have Dried Pack
Them IN Sand.

The customary method of growing
stone fruits from seed is first to sepa-
rate the stones from the flesh, wash
ing the seed, if necessary, to separate
rs completely as possible the stones
from the flesh. Then, after the seeds
have been dried for a few hours, mix
them with eight times their bulk of
sand and put them away in jar or
crock in the cellar until cold weather.
Then wet the sand slightly and bury
the jar or crock outside just below the
surface of the ground. The following
