Masons and Stars Celebrate Hal
lowe EN-.

One Of the prettiest of the
numerous social functions given
by the local fratcrnal orders this
season was the Hallowe ZEN social
and ball given by the Masonic
and Eastern Star lodge at the
Fraternal Hall last Monday even
ing. The hall was very tasteful
ly decorated with black and yel-
low streamers, Jack-o lanterns
and figures characteristic OF the
occasion, with clusters of lucious
apples placed handily about and
a shock of corn fodder disclosing
a pumpkin or two as the center
piece. A mellow light filtering
through yellow shades gave all
the weird touch which completed
the picture. The refreshments
of cider, doughtnnts,
apples and pop corn, all Of just
the right flavor and in overflow
ing quantities. After a brief and
spicy porgram, the hall was turn
ed over to the dancers, who joy
ously held forth until past the
fortunc-telling hour.

An Honor to Be a Member.

Once more the American Red
Cross makes its annual appeal to
the citizens of Idaho, Lewis and
Nez Perez counties for support of
the great work of the organiza-
tion.
The Red Cross Roll Call begins
on Armistice Day, November IL,
and lasts until Thanksgiving Day:
AS usual, this is the yearly OPP
portunity for our citizens to re-
new their Red Cross member
ships, and it is of the greatest
Importance that our people rally
as never before to the support Of
the organization,
The three counties comprising
the Lewiston Chapter have un-
dertaken public health work on
an extensive scale, with the Red
Cross and the counties co-operat-
ing. This work has been a great
success and our people realize its
Importance. To maintain the
public health work, funds are
necessary, and the only source Of
income for the Red Cross is that
from memberships.
In addition to public health
service, the Home Service work
for disabled ex-service men will
be continued. and this, too, makes
a great demand upon the treas
ury of the organization. In this
connection it may be of interest
to note that 5S7 ex-service men
were cared for by Red Cross
headquarters during the past
year Assistance endered includ-
ed claims for compensation. vo-
cational training, bonus, and vie
tory medal, and a large number
of men were assisted financially.
The usual memberships will
again prevail, these being $l.00
for annual, $500 for contribut-
ing and $1,000 for sustaining. Its
individuals NAV become contrib
uting and sustaining members, as
this will mean a much larger sum
to be used for the support of the
work att home. Fifty cents of
each membership goes to Nation
al Headquarters for nationwide
relief and disaster expense. The
remainder of each membership is
retained by Lewiston Chapter for
local needs.

return of 500 per acre, which,

a profit of 10 cents per acre.
What s the solution?
Does it seem reasonable that
the farmers of Lewis county can
possibly think of going ahead
without the services of a farmer
advisor? | would suggest the
picking of a good man and using
him. Cut out buying high-pric-
ed farm machinery; wear out the
old implements for the next five
years; put the saving in a few
hogs and cows. Start a bank ac-
count. But above all things use
your farmer advisor. If he does
not know anything, tell what you

bors. Respectfully,

1t appears that he forged these

this was discovered by the Off

back and he was confronted with
them and finally admitted his
guilt and offered as an excuse
that he needed the money, but ex-

against him to such an extent
that when the notes became due
