SELLS WHEAT AT S2.19.

NJ. J. McMulTay, last Friday
sold 5000 bushels of his present
crop to the Pacific Grain Co., at
S2.19 a bushel. There were sew
eral bidders for Macs crop,
which consists of about 10000
bushels and the price paid was a
bit higher than the market
would warrant at the time. How
ever, Mac was tempted TO let an
additional 5000 bushels go later
at the same price, but expects to
hold the balance of his crop for
spring.-Ferdinand Enterprise.

AUTOS IN IDAHO 4S,5O7.

association. recently organized
in this state, announces it has
just completed partial survey
of the autos in Idaho and has dis
covered that there are now
4S,507 autos and trucks register

one percent of these cars are us

MANY HEAR BORAH

ed persons heard United States
Senator William f. Borah dis
cuss the League of Nations at
the /. o. o. F. hall in Grange
vile Saturday evening. The
senator appeared to be very
earnest in his assertions and
many times during his discourse
he read actual figures and sent
ences from various public speak
ers and documents.
The speech made by Idaho's
senior senator is considered a
masterpiece, that is from a
standpoint of opposition to the
league.
A large number of Cottonwood
people were present at the meet
ing, and like all public speeches,
some agreed with the speaker,
while others disagreed.
Senator Borah and his party
passed through Cottonwood Sun
day morning enrouted to Lewis
ton and spent 20 minutes in the
city. The party was making
the trip in the "big yellow car"
that has been causino so much
comment in various sections of
the state. The car in which the
opposer of the League of Nations
is travelling is reported to be the
property of Jerry" Day, mil
lionaire mining man of Moscow
and chairman of the democratic
central committee.
Relative to his touring North
ern Idaho in the Day car, the
Moscow Mirror has the follow
ing to say:
Incidents connected with the
visit of Senator w. E. Borah to
Moscow and other north Idaho
points, have set the political gos-
sips to wondering and talking.
Senator Borah, leading republi-
can campaigner of the west, who
is bitterly fighting the demo-
cratic candidate for president
and the democratic administra-
ton, is being taken over north
ern Idaho to hold his meetings,
and deliver his addresses, in the
fine Marmon car of Jerome J.
Day, millionaire mining man of
Wallace, and state chairman of
the democratic central commit
tee.
"The big yellow car, known
throughout northern Idaho and
eastern Washington, and Jack
Bowers, the chauffeur of the
Day family, have been placed at
the disposal of Senator Borah.
He came from Spokane to Mos
cow in the Day car and was
taken in the same car from Mos
cow to Genesee and Lewiston
and back Bowers, the chauffeur
is reported to have stated to Z
Moscow friend that he is to take
Senator Borah to all his meeting
places including Grangeville.
Evan Evans, of Granoeville,
warm personal friend of Senator
Borah accompanied the party to
and from Moscow in Jerry"
Days car.
Democrats and republicans
alike are wondering what this
means. Several solutions are
offered. One is that the Day
interests are backing Charles w.
Beale, of Wallace, for United
States senator. Beale is seeking
the republican nomination TO
succeed Senator Nugent and
went to Spokane for a consulta-
tion with Senator Borah there.
Some persons profess to see in
the attentions paid to Senator
Borah by Jerry" Day, an effort
to boost" Beales candidacy.

great amount of gossip and Won

THRESHEMEN'S
MEELING SAT.
ATTENDED By 2S OWNERS
OF MACHINES SATURDAY
IN COTTONWOOD

In order TO establish q uni
form rate for threshing as well
as for labor, skilled and unskil-
led, 28 threshelmen represent
ing the communities of Green
creek, Winona, Ferdinand, Fem,
keuterville, Grangeville and Cot
tonwood, held a meeting in Cot
tonwood Saturday evening. II
was decided after some discus
sion to pay soc an hour for a ~
hour day to pitchers, drivers and
helpers, which includes board.
Sack sewers 81 a day.
The price for a team was set
at S1.50, 50 for q team and wag-
on, water haulers $1,000 q day
including four horses
The wage to be paid engineers
and separator tenders was left
to the threshermen themselves,
as this requires skilled labor it
was decided to leave the salaries
to be paid them to the operators
of the machines.
After setting price on labor
which they considered to be fair,
they took up the question of the
price to be asked for threshing.
1t was the general opinion of the
members present at the meeting,
and the prices asked for are
based on a 1850 bushel average
per day, for a 20 days run dur
ing the season, that the actual
cost Of threshing a bushel of
wheat runs as follows:
25 cents a bushel where thresh
elman furnishes complete out
fit including cook house.
q cents a bushel where he fuln
ishes complete outfit except cook
house.
Is cents a bushel where farm
Ell furnishes four pitchers, four
bundle teams and machine crew.
Ia cents a bushel where farm
er furnishes machine, crew of
four men.
The above prices asked for are
actual expenses and in order for
the machine men to make a pro-
fit it would be necessary for
them to get a hipher average
run per day as quoted above and
a longer seasons run.
Considering the poor crops for
the last two seasons the senti-
ment of the meeting was to
thresh at the lowest possible rate
and to give the farmers the best
service possible in order to save
the crop.
The above prices are also sub
ject to a raise where the grain is
badly burnt or hail has damaged
the growing grain.
The quotations above are bas-
ed upon past experiences and
crops, interest on investment of
outfit, workmen's compensation
insurance, wear and tear on
machine and labor.
Last year an average of 1000
bushels were run through =
machine in a day while years
previous when crops were nor
NAL 1900 to 1000 bushels were
said to be the average daily runs.

W1lI Give
 Whole Heart to
 Some " MG7o Here

Call for Mir. Bachelor!
 The call comes from Colorado, where a young woman who says she has been called pretty and who is ready and willing to love with her whole heart and soul, better than life itself" wants a husband. There IS one thing she must be sure of, however, and that is that ''he" loves her.
 All that the young woman wants is love and good looks. Think, man of today, of husband hunter not making mention of income! Furthermore, if you haven't one, she has because she is a music teacher. As to her character listen then to what she says of it herself: "I never did a bad act be- fore God in my life"
 Because she is small and dark, she demands that he be tall and that his eyes be as blue as the very sky. She prefers that his age be 50. She must have full particulars and a photograph, she says in the note which she has written to Nit Sin1ns, secretary of state, which she has asked him to pass to the best looking bachelor friend he has.
 Just at present Mir. Sinnms does not care to antagonize any of his friends by showing preference, so he has turned the matter over to the press, with the true American idea of treating all alike.
 The letter is signed Rosie Dale, who gives her address as 125 w. Twelfth street, Pueblo, Colorado.

 The first address of the evening was by J. L. l.. Lauterdale the cotton entomologist from the state entomolo- gist's office. who gave brief but lh- teresting talk on the cotton boil Weevll and boil worm, touching on methods of eradicating "hoppers" and aphis- lie urged that all growers cooperate with the office of the state entonologlst in enforcing the quarantine against the importation into the state of cotton seed or other things that might carry the eggs or larvae of these pests, and requested that any grower noticing any destructive insects feeding on cotton or any apparent diseased condition, to inn mediately avail themselves of the as- sistance of the state entomologist's of flee.

keting committee of the American Cot ton association.
 The local association being the southwestern branch of the national association, Mir. Stevens spoke of The American Cotton Association" driving home the fact that in becoming member of the local association the farmers of the Salt River Valley are not merely affillating with a local or ganization, but becoming part of a big national movement for the better ment of the entire cotton growing in dustry.
 Charles NJ. Morgan completed the program with a ten minute talk on the local association, telling how it sue ceeded last season in repeatedly rais- ing the market prices of seed and lint, and secured for it's members increased prices for both by simply taking ad vantages of the principle of co-opera- tive selling, backed up by accurate in formation as to the actual value of the products.
 A poll at the close of the meeting showed that more than 90 per cent of the cotton growers present had become members of the association.
 The ladies of the Madison Farm bu- reau served refreshments to the crowd at the conclusion of the meeting, con- sisting of ice Cream, cake and lemon ade.

LOCAL OFFICERS MUST
ENFORCE HEALTH RULES
Revised Code Provides for Full
fillment of State Boards
Rulings.

A question that often rises, when fia-
rant violations of health and sanitary
regulations are observed, is, who Is re-
sponsible for the enforcement OF rules
promulgated by the State Board of Health?
The State body itself answers the ques-
tion in its August bulletin, Delaware
Health News" by quoting Section 73S OF
the Revised Code Of the State of Delaware,
which shows plainly that every rule OF the
State board has the effect of law and must
be enforced by local health officers. The
section reads:
sIt shall be the duty of all local boards
of health, health authorities and officials,
police officers, sheriffs, constables and all
other officers and employees of the State, or
of any county, city or town thereof, to
enforce such quarantine, sanitary rules
and regulations as may be adopted by the
Board of Health of the State OF Delaware,
and in the event of failure or refusal on the
part of any member of said local boards or
other officials he or they shall be guilty of
misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof
shall pay fine of not less than $50 for the
first offense and not more than Sl00 for
the second and each succeeding offense." ."

CLAYTON FAR AHEAD
IN TOWN SANITATION
Every House Being Connected
With Sewers to Prevent the
Spread of Disease.

CLAYTON is far ahead of the average
town of the State in the matter OF SANTA
tion. As fast as plumbing is installed IN
the homes, outbuildings are removed, and
within three months, it is predicted, there
will not be an outbuilding in the town.
This is what the State Board OF Health
has to say about Clayton in the August
number Of its bulletin, Delaware Health
News"
Credit for conditions in Clayton is
given to the local Board Of Health which is
compelling property owners TO connect
their houses with the sewers.
'aThis is a condition for which every
town should strive, for until our towns are
properly severed, unnecessary sickoess
and deaths will continue" the bulletIo
says, adding:
THAT the orders issued by the Clayton
Board Of Health are intended to be OBJ
served is shown by the prosecution several
months ago of about dozen property
owners for failure to clean up their premis-
es after due notice. Fines and costs were
collected in every instance and the nulsan-
ces were abated as we'll The orders of the
board are now respected and complied
with.
sIf every board of health in the State
would issue only such orders as 1t intend
ed to enforce, there would be far greater
respect for the board and much less diff
ficulty in the enforcement of its rules.
The health rules of a community are pas
sed for the protection of the citizens OF
that community and all thinking citizens
will uphold the authorities who enforce
them as ttey have in Clayton.
Special mention should also be made
of the fact that soda water and other soft
drinks are dispensed in single service
(paper) cups at the Clayton refreshment
parlor, as the filthy, common, improperly
cleaned glass that is still allowed IN many
Delaware towns, is absolutely prohibited
by the local board of health. If the patrons
of soda water fountains in every town
would refuse to drink from the glass that
they would not think of using at home
until after it had been thoroughly washed,
the proprietors of such establishments
would soon install the sanitary paper cups.
