GIVE THE STORAGE
BATTERY A SQUARE DEAL

A young woman drove her car into
the Prest-O-Lite service station OF
Mulligan & Nelson at Moscow yester-
day morning to have her battery
tested. While the attendant was re-
moving the service battery from her
car, preparatory to reinstalling her
own battery, she asked few ques-
tons of Mr.. Mulligan, the manager.
"How long will storage battery
last?" she inquired.
Before / answer thatI would like
to ask you question" said Mr.. Null
ligan.
"How long will an automobile
last?"
WELL" the young lady replied, "of
course that depends on what use it
has and how often taken care of.
Some last longer than Others"
Exactly so with storage batteries.
Some last longer than others, and
the Prest- Lite is some battery, but
even a Prest-O-Lite has to be treated
right to give proper service all of the
time. Try to run your engine with
out oil and see where you get off.
How long would it last?"

Tuesday evening. The dog was one of
two crossbreeds, said to be part coy
ote, carried by the troupe and was
known to be vicious.
The dogs had been tied at the west
side of the opera house and the best
information obtainable is that some
older boys had been teasing the dogs
and when little George ran too near,
being too young to know the danger,
the dog snapped at him, making a
slight flesh wound and several
scratches in the calf of the leg just
below the knee.

WILLIAMSON RAISES
PEAS WITH ALFALFA

FALFA NURSE CROP

N. Williams, Shorthorn breeder and
owner Of several large farms in Latah
county, Idaho, and Whitman county,
Washington, is exhibiting field peas
four feet high grown ON his Far
View" farm between Palouse and Gar
field, this year under rather peculiar
circumstances. The peas are now be-
ing harvested and will be used for hay
for Mr.. WilliamsOn's purebred Short
horn cattle They are green, and only
In bloom, but are being cut early in
order to give alfalfa sowed with the
peas, chance to get better start.
Mr.. Williamson says the peas will
make an average of more than ~
tons Of hay per acre and would make
good ensilage if placed in a silo.

HIGHWAY BUILDING

CHILD BITTEN BY DOG-HAIL
DOES SLIGHT DAMAGE
RAINS HELP CROPS
(Genesee News.)

Work on the Genesee section of the
North and South highway is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and grading is
being done at rapid rate. 1t is esti-
mated that about five per cent of the
grading is done at this time. Sew
eral crews are at work on different
sections of the road and it is expect
ed the work will be finished this fall.
The Rimrock highway district has
all their grading completed and is one
of the best graded sections of country
road to be found. With one exception
the new road is smooth and in fine
shape and it will be a pleasure for
those who travel it for all time. 1t is
expected that gravel surface will be
used later on.
The section of road of the Genesee
highway district running east from
town is one of the finest and smooth
est pieces of road in the country and
the contractor is certainly to be con-
graduated upon the excellent work
done. The work of surfacing this sec
ton of road will begin in a short
time.

to- SOW peas with the alfalfa as a.
nurse crop. He planted so pounds
of peas, 13 pounds of alfalfa and two,

acres. The peas have. done remark
ably well and the alfalfa and timothy
got good start, With the cutting; Of
the peas the alfalfa will be. given an,
opportunity to get a bettex start this,
season. Mr.. Williamson says he be-
lieves that thin sowing Of peas. as a
nurse" crop is better than sowing
alfalfa alone. The regulation amount
of peas when planted for crop, alone.
is 100 pounds per acre.
The pea vines, shown here by Mr..
Williamson attracted a. great deal Of
interest and attention among farmers
and stockmens and many of them will
try this plan of planting, peas and
alfalfa. which; is becoming a very pop
ular crop here, next year.
Mr.. Williamson got his idea from
a farmer who last year planted alfalfa
aarly and it failed to come up. He
thought the seed was bad and planted
the field to peas. Rains came and
both alfalfa and peas came up and
made a good crop, producing a large
amount Of feed for stock. The peas,
when properly inoculated, grow deep
INTO the soil, loOsening it and giving
he alfalfa roots a better chance to-
penetrate to greater depth.

The railroad workers had the
choice between making trouble and

that advantage. That the men voted
to postpone all denfa nds on their side
