The Damaged Grain Problem.

County Agent and Mrs. G. H. |
Behnke were in Grangeville the
first of the week, where he at
tended a meeting of farmers and
business men who are making an
effort to bring hogs into this Sec
ton from the central west to
which to feed the damaged grain
Of the prairie. The matter Of fl
nancing the plan is a big one, but
it is considered possible of sohl-
ton through cooperation with the
meat packing cmpanies.
In relation to this important
matter the Cottonwood Chronicle
Of last week said:
Importation of shoats from the
middle west to utilize wheat dam
aged by the wet weather in Ida
no, Lewis and Nez Perce counties
was discussed at a meeting III
Grangeville Tuesday night. w.
j. Jordan, travelling freight and
passenger agent for the Northern
Pacific railroad, was present at
the meeting. and will procure
figures as to probable cost of the
shoats, and whether they can be
shipped in transit from the mid
die west to Pacific coast markets,
and be brought to central Idaho
for feeding purposes under low
freight rate. Also, matter Of fl
nancing the purchase OF the
shoats was discussed.
There are reported to be thou
sands of bushels of grain in these
three counties that will be COM
plete loss to the farmers if hogs
cannot be procured to eat the
damaged grain, caused from the
wet weather of the last two weeks
and with no prospect Of the grain
again becoming dry so that it car
be threshed.
In order to procure the hog
they must be shipped in from OUT
side points as Idaho county does
| mt hold its former reputation as
great pork producing county. i
years gone by three train loads
were shipped from the prairi'
weekly and it is safe to say, tha
at the present time three car
easily handle all the hogs shippet
| weekly, condition brought abou
by the high price of feed durin'
the past few years. Many Of tn
, farmers have sold their breeding
stock and are now practically on
of the hog business.
This appears to be about tn
only solution to save the gran
+ that is in the field unthreshec
T and it is deemed advisable to i'm
port shoats if possible to save tn
farmers from a complete loss i

Perry Sanger Writes Old Nez-

Ferry III. Sanger, one VI tio
most popular highly esteemed cit-I
izens this praire ever had, who
now resides at Linville, Va
writes his old friend, P. Nj. Hard.
ing, touching the national politi-
cal outlook, as follows:
Linville, Va,
Oct. q, 1920.
Mr.. Perry M. Harding,
Nezperce, Idaho.
Nv Esteemed Friend:
No doubt you will be surprised
to receive a letter from me. How
ever. | have been thinking of you,
and wondering how things were
coming for Harding and Cool
idge. Things here are getting
pretty warm along political lines,
While this is a Democratic state,
Many old timers are going to vote
the Republican ticket, because
they are opposed to the League OF
Nations, one-man rule, etc. |
have jumped the fence, too ,and
am Harding and Coolidge boos-
ter When one sees how the
farmers have been singled out
above every other class with
price-fixing on most all OF his
commodities, and the manufac-
turer let go, as it seems, unre-
stricted as to prices, it makes one
ashamed that he ever voted the
Democratic ticket. Besides | have
concluded after travelling around
in different parts of the country
as I have, that we need more pro-
tective tariff than is advocated
by the Democratic party. You
tell P. HIS friends to take no
chances, or be misled, and vote
for Harding and Coolidge and
YOU can tell them / said so.
I was glad you had good crops
this year, but sorrv the season has
not been favorable for the har-
vest Our crops are also good
and / have many boyhood ac-
ouaintances here yet also. Think
of our neighbors and friends ana
the good things at Nezperce'
There have been many changes
here since | was a boy, such as
the comparative disappearance. o1
the negroes, also modernlzeo
"a r,;no GOOD roads, etc.
Some time at your convenience
drop me line with all the events
back home. We receive the Hei,
| aid quite regular and read most
Of the news back there. With best
wishes to you and all, and hur,
rah for Harding and Coolidge,
am. as ever your friend,
Perry II. Sanger.

HUN PRETENDERS BEG LARGE SUMS;
 GRAF IS EXPOSED

BERLIN.-All the organizations for alleviating the lot of the war wounded have joined with the min istry of labor to put an end finally to the begging by the pretended wounded soldiers who clutter the principal streets of Berlin. On all sides one sees men whose arms have been severed" (by strapping them to their bodies), or who feign to be suffering from shell-shock and shake pitifully, after learning in Berlin school the approved methods of shaking. Investigation has shown that these people collect up to 300 marks daily from their faking.
 The government has been carry ing on investigations for weeks in Berlin, Essen, Hamburg, and other large CitltS, dlu Has eStdDLlSlSu llS fact that hardly five percent of the wounded" soldiers who are begging are genuine. One shaker" was trailed to a saloon, where he ceased shaking and drank cognac literally while he counted over his 300 marks, his days receipts. Another "onc- armed' man collected so marks in two hours, in Tauentzien street, and then was seen to slip round corner and unbind his missing arm, which was belted to his body. In Ham, burg, of IS men arrested only one proved to have been wounded in the war.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
FOR LOCAL PAPERS
Changes In Effect From First
Of This Week.

The attention OF the subscribers
to this paper Is called to the an
nouncement of the change In sub
scription rates effective yesterday.
The Journal regrets exceedingly
that such action was necessary be-
cause. while our receipts will Do
larger, 1t will be necessary to pay
out all OF the increase in order to
meet the rising costs of materials.
etc. Both of the Martinsburg
papers have put off taking action
until now, in the constant hope that
conditions would get better. But In
reality they have become worse
until today it Ia not merely ques-
ton of price-it Is serious matter
to get supplies at all.
Outside of salaries, the greatest
item of expense that newspaper
has is the white paper. itself. This
Is bought in carload lots In order to
get the very lowest price. Two
years ago years supply OF paper
cost about $4,000. This year that
same amount of paper would cost
500 900. And in addition to that,
we are using more paper than ever
before due to the number OF pages
we are running and to the steady
Increase In circulation.
Nor Is the whole burden of In
creased COST put upon the reader.
BY far the greater part Of the in
crease is being borne by the adyer-
tisers. Practically every other city
in the country has had the price OF
its papers put up long ago. The
rates for delivery in Martinsburg by
mnrrier boys and the rates for de-
livery outside OF Martinsburg, by
mail, are the same except that the
mail subscription, when taken cor
full year is fifty cents cheaper than
in the city. The increase to the

ter, collections will be made every
other week instead OF every week
and the payment will be 25 cents
