or PYTH|AS
REDUCE AGE LIMIT
YOUNG MEN OF EIGHTEEN
YEARS MAY NOW JOIN THIS
SPLENDID ORDER.

In conformity with it's general pro-
gram and policy of expansion by
which it is proposed to carry the
principles of the order into new fields
of Pythian endeavor, the Knights OF
Pythias at the recent biennial conven-
ton of it's Supreme Lodge at Mime
apolis adopted an amendment to its
organic law reducing the minimum
age limit of membership in the order
from II years to IS years, the effect
of which will be to open the door of
fraternal hope to thousands of youths
| in the land whose hearts have felt the
touch of human sympathy and who
long to enlist under the banner of
brotherhood achievement.
| Since the order was founded, mem
bership has been restricted to white
male persons not less than Fl years
of age and under SO, except that per-
sons over SO might be accepted as
members by dispensations. But out
of the great World War many lessons
came of nature calculated to change
the old order of things, not the least
of which was the idea born of the ire
mendous struggle and was particl-
pated in by the best blood Of the ma
tons young manhood that youths of
IS, 10 and 20 years of age are fully
capable of meeting responsibilities
and discharging life's obligations with
fidelity equal to those of few years
their senior The alacrity with which
the younger boys of the nation sprang
to arms at the call of country in de-
tense of it's honor and for the preser-
walton of it's institutions affords in
controvertible proof that one does not
necessarily have to be of legal age
in order to be of real service in times
of stress and need.
Inspired by thoughts of service per-
formed and sacrifices made by the
boys of the land and being deeply SEN
sible to the conviction that If boy of
IS years is man enough, strong
enough patriotic enough to serve his
country in time of war, he is compe-
tent physically, mentally and temper
amentally to participate in the set
Element of the problems of peace that
came to US as heritage of the war
in which he fought.
The Knights of Pythias in common
not unmindful of the obligations the
duties of the hour impose It pro-
poses to perform its full share in the
great work of reconstruction and re-
Mobilization, that civilization may
speedily recover from the shock to
which it was subjected and that the
blessings Of peace, softened by senti-
ments of fraternal love may find per-
Hanent abiding place in the hearts of |
men. And in this magnificent en-
deavor it has invited boys and men of |
Is years and over to enlist under the
tricolored banner of Pythian Knight
hood in the movement designed to |
Danish discomfort and discord and
make the world brighter and happier.

ing piece of work and is made from
red, white and blue beans. You may
say there is no such thing as blue
beans, but we will leave it to any far
mer in the Potlatch that all beans
have looked pretty blue for year or
more.
A young chap in Kendrick was talk
ing about his job this week. Said he
was piling beans Asked how much he
was getting he said -Four dollars a
day" He was little fellow, probably
ten years old, maybe less. Seems like
pretty big wages for small boy.
w. j. WhitiAger of Potlatch ridge
says the bean yield will vary consider
ably this fall. He estimates some
crops at four sacks to the acre and
others not more than two sacks. A
lighter yield this year than usual.

CHRONIC OFFICE SEEKERS

! Whitman county has had some
chronic office seekers and chronic Of
| flee holders, but in the coming cleo
ton two of the most chronic are pit
ted against each other and one is GER
tain to have his feet pried out of the
public trough. Beginning in 1896 Ben
F. Manning, then a populist and since
a democrat, was elected county treas
allowed by the Washington law and
"summerfallowed" for a few years,
but got back in again when the demo-
Gratis got into power and has served
two terms as clerk, and two as treas
urer in addition to two terms as dep
uty county auditor. He is now the
democratic nominee for sheriff.
Opposing him will be William Cole,
who got the republican nomination.
Cole has served six years as deputy
sheriff and two terms of two years
each as sheriff, and is now nominated
for sheriff by the republicans. 1t is
cinch one of these men will be de-
feated and, unless he can secure a
reputyship, the Whitman county court
house will miss the face of one of
these pioneers of that structure alter
January, 1921
The Colfax Commoner of which
Thomas Brown is editor and publish

of Whitman county, for $4,000 dam
ages for alleged libel The alleged
libelous articles there are two counts
for $4,000 each) are claimed to have
been published by The Commoner in
reporting trial in which the sheriff
figured. We know nothing OF the mer-
its of the case but are willing to bet
that the sheriff does not get a cent
damages.

Despite the fact that he is engaged

Despite the fact that he is engaged
in a campaign for reelection and is
being opposed by a strong array Of
bitter partisans, Hon. John f. Nugent,
United States senator from Idaho,
finds time to look after the interests
of his state and its citizens. Senator
Nugent is not neglecting his work for
the state and his constituents even
though the campaign is getting warm
He was made a good record during
four years as senator and has great
influence with the administration and
in national affairs. Senator Nugent
places his duties as United States SEN
ator before partisan politics and is not
neglecting his duties to engage in a
campaign. While several other north
western senators were away from
Washington for weeks at time cam
caigning for themselves or for other
candidates prior to and following the
conventions, Senator Nugent remain
ed at his post of duty until congress
adjourned.

on the Northwestern Railroad was
wrecked near White Siding, three
miles out, Tuesday at Ss45. The
engine was deraiIed and an oil tank
car also got off the track. The de-
railnent was caused by sand having
been washed on the track by the
heavy rain last night. The only per-

was bruised, but not seriously, when
he sjumped from his cab as the en-
gine left the track and turned over
