it is you who accomplishes it. 1t is
one thing to deserve praise, but an
other to insist on getting it. And keep
this truth forever in mind, since one
man is given the gift to play the vio-
lin, and another to write and another
to paint and still others are endowed
with strength for heavy tasks, and
others to lay brick for houses, he who
does his best in the work he is fitted
to do has no right to lord it over his
neighbor who is serving the world in
his way To brag that you have brains
and use them is like Dragging that
you have lungs which inhale and ex-
hale and eyes that see and heart
that beats.-Detroit Free Press.

West Indies some boxes of specie that
had been sent to Southampton to be
placed on the vessel Mercatot. The
clerks suggestion was acted upon.
Here was an opportunity to test the
powers of the telegraph-lightning
versus steam, with steam having forty
eight hours start. Very soon the tele-
graph asked a man in Southampton:
''Has Mercator sailed?
'Just weighing in " came the reply.
"Stop her in the Queens name"
flashed back the telegraph. "She is
stopped" was the response.

"All right. Let the ship CO." was
the last message. The West Indies

STRAW FOR
DOUGLAS CATTLE
FARMERS UNION HEAD PRO-
POSES THAT STRAW BE CIV
EN- FREE BY FARMERS

Douglas county, Washington, has
no crop this year and livestock, of
which that county is heavy pro-
ducer, is threatened with shortage of
food. Walla Walla county farmers
have agreed to take 5000 head of
cattle from Douglas county after
harvest and now E. J. Doneen, presi-
dent of the Farmers Union of Whit
man county, proposes that farmers
OF that county give straw to be baled
| and shipped to Douglas county to
feed the livestock there next winter.
1t is understood similar proposal
will be made to Latah county farm
ers. In an interview given to
Spokane county paper Mr.. Doneen
said:
'I am sure the farmers of the Pa
their surplus straw to assist the
farmers of Douglas county," stated
Mr.. Doneen today, after reading in
the Chronicle yesterday of the ap-
peal of the Douglas county men. II
personally will deliver carload of
straw on board the car if the finan-
cial assistance for baleing and ship
ping comes from some place. | think
such method of assistance on the
part of the farmers would be meet
ing the chamber of commerce of
Spokane and the railroads half way
in their move to lend helping hand
to the needy farmers. While can
not speak for the other farmers of
Whitman county l am sure they
would be glad to donate their straw
and deliver it on the car.
"One hay baling crew could put
up enough straw in short time to
relieve the situation in the neigh
boring county. If the railroads and
the chamber of commerce can ar
range for the shipping and the bal
ing speedy relief can be had for those
making the plea for help"

TWO MOSCOW MEN ON
IDAHO RIFLE TEAM
E. T. ALMQUIST AND GLEN C,
HALLAM REPRESENT MOS
COW AT CAMP PERRY

Moscow's newly formed rifle club,
which received it's equipment less
than two months ago, will have two
men on the Idaho state rifle team
which takes part in the national rifle
contest at Camp Perry, Ohio, during
the month of August. Since receiv-
ing their equipment from the govern
ment the members of the team have
been practicing regularly and that
they have made good progress is evil
denced by the selection of two of the
members of the team for the eastern
trip.
The men who will represent Mos
COW in the team are E. T. Almquist
and Glen C. Hallam. They left today
for Camp Perry, Ohio, going via
Spokane, St. Paul and Toledo. The
Moscow club has 80 members, al
though it is among the youngest in
the state, and has several more ap-
plications for membership.
The Idaho team has Is men, and
Moscow is considered fortunate to
get two places on the team to rep
resent this state. Some splendid rec
ords have been made in target prac-
tice here and the Idaho team is re-
garded as one of the strongest from
the west, to take part in the national
rifle contest this year.

PRICES OF DRESSED
BEEF FLUCTUATEO
ADVANCE OF IA CENTS, POUND,
IN 30 DAYS SETS NEW REC
ORD FOR CHANGES

Observation-Disclosures fluctua-
tions in the price of dressed beef oc-
Cured during the first six months Of
this year says a report of the United
| States Bureau of Markets. Starting
with a top price of $21 for good grade
beef in January, sharp and erratic
price changes marked trading thru
out the period, with the low top price
of SIT recorded during the last week
in May and the high point, $31, made
on June %, an increase of $14 hum
dred pounds in 80 days.
A series of unavoidable events,
most of them resulting from abnorm-
al conditions produced by the war,
contributed to the phenomenal price
trends, the report says. Among the
principal disturbing influences de-
scribed are periodical releases by the
War Department of surplus stocks of
beef in an effort to reduce living
costs, higher stocker and feeder mar
kets, high priced feeds, fruition of
producers efforts to increase cattle
production for war needs and anti
cipated foreign demands, labor
troubles, decreased transportation
facilities, embargoes, unsettled for
eign credit and exchange conditions,
decrease in beef exports, financial
credit restrictions, declines in prices
of hides, tallow and other animal by
products and decreased or spasmodic
consumption of meats.
In fact, the report says, every pos
.sible economic factor Incidental to
period of reconstruction and capable
of distributing market conditions for
these products of the farm and range
had free and almost unlimited action.
Prices of livestock in Chicago
market and those paid for dressed
carcasses as taken from New York
quotations from 10 days to two weeks
after the live cattle transactions also
showed wide fluctuations, the report
asserts. The difference of 1925 per
100 pounds between prices for good
beef steers and the corresponding
grade of dressed carcasses in Janu-
ary was widened until it stood at
$14.50 during the closing days of
June. For the same period the diff
ference between the low price of
medium steers on the hoof and in the
carcass had advanced from $6.25 to
$12.75.
A comparison of live cattle prices
and prices on relative grades of
dressed meats on January and June
80 this year with those correspond
ing dates last year shows the top
price for good beef steers at the be-
ginning of this year at S18.75 and
at the end of June as $1650 with the
opening top price on dressed beef
rom such steers at $21 and the close
at $31. On January 2, 1919, live
prices for the same grade were up to
s1775 and at the end of six months
he top stood at $14.60, a decline of
53.15. Good dressed beef on Janu-
ary 2, last year, registered top
If $27 and on June 80 had declined
g to top of $19.

The Hot Wave Continues.

The hot wave continues today, al
though not as hot as Tuesday, by
four degrees. At 3:10 this afternoon
the thermometer registered 81 as
against 101 yesterday. The weather
bureau predicts cooler weather to-
night with probably thunderstorms
tonight and tomorrow in the mount
aims. Walla Walla reported 104 de-
grees Tuesday with that cheering
statement that "this is not unusual
weather for July here" Spokane re-
ported 96 degrees Tuesday. Cool
nights are saving grain from injury

MUST HAVE
PROFIT OR QUIT WORK
UNLESS FARMERS CAN MAKE
MORE THAN WAGES WILL
CEASE TO PRODUCE

By Asa E. Ramsay, Chairman
Board of Directors, Federal Reserve
Bank, Kansas City.
Speaking of our basic food supplies
of grain and live stock, and there ap-
pears to be a considerably decreased
production in prospect this year, ou1
gravest danger lies in the indiffer-
ence of the American people toward
agricultural pursuits. We are now
approaching harvest time in the fed
.eral reserve district in which | reside
the tenth, and although our wheat to
be harvested is something like 6,000,-
600 acres less than we harvested in
1919, we see on every hand evidences
of shortage of labor on the farms.
And we also read in the newspapers
about the activity of employment
bureaus and agencies of federal, state
and city governments in combing the
cities and towns in an effort to obtain
help for the harvest at the highest
wages ever paid for farm work in
the history Of this nation. And we
understand how necessary it is for
some sort of a nationwide movement
to divert labor from non-essential
at the more essential
work on the farms, not only to meet
the immediate needs but for the pur-
pose of stimulating larger future
productive activity and as a guaran-
tee of increased food supply.
The real remedy for permanent re-
lief and increased agricultural pro-
duction, it seems to me, lies in the di-
rection of checking the tide of migra-
ton from the farms to the cities and
turning it back from the cities to the
farms. The problem of keeping the
people in the country, and more par
ticularly the young people, can be
solved by making farm life as attrac-
tive and as profitable as possible. We
can not expect to get an increased
production of foodstuffs from the
farms until living conditions on the
farms are somewhat in keeping with
those in the cities.
Then there should be stabiliza-
lion of prices of farm products on
higher levels than those obtaining
prior to the war. While the abnorm-
ally high prices Of the last two years
nave enabled most farmers to get out
If debt and to get something ahead,
t must also be remembered that for
years the farmers were conducting
operations practically at loss and
With the low prices for their products
t was struggle to make ends meet.
So if in the last three years the farm
rs of this country have been getting
more than cost out of their
they are entitled to that lit
lie something and to the plaudits of
III right thinking people for having
performed their duty in time of their
ountry's greatest need.
