Oh all right" he said, with a
smile OF pity. Its an easy way out

Out in the library Esther held a
book before her and tried to make
herself believe she was reading, but
one foot beat a nervous tattoo on the
floor She listened for sound from the
den, but all appeared quiet.
After hours. it seemed, there was a
sound of chair. scraping over the floor
in the den. and the door was opened.
Out stalked her father, smile on his

have some one around the house VINO

TRAINING.
I'd like to give up all my time
To teachin' little chsps to climb.
An shown em the places where
The birds are nestin' high up there;
I'd like to find my fellowship
In laughin' eye an eaucy lip,
An freckled cheeks an stone-bruised feet
For that's n eomra deship that's sweet
An free from faint o. strife an hate
An envy of the rich an great
There everything that's ever done,
Is in the glorious name Of fun.
I've seen 'em open wide their eyes
When they were battin' fungo flies,
To see me catch 'em high or low,
The way / used to long ago.
There's grown-ups here that have forgot
Their baseball on n vacant lot,
An underneath q solemn poise
They hide the fact that they've been boyss
An many a youngster must be told
His father wasn't always old
He'd never guess from what he sees
His dad once climbed the tallest treeA
To teach a boy, you've got to show
That what he knows, you also know
The sermons that the graybeards preadA
The ears of youngsters never reach;
To pirate Of honor merely irks-
You've got to show 'em how It workG
If you would have 'em fair in play,
Get out an teach Fem day by day,
An let 'em Zee you take defeat
Rather than break the rules or cheat
Who'd bring his boy to fame some days
Must take his hand an lead the way.

George Matthew A dams
Daily Talk
on ATTRACTING.

Each of us is a sort Of magnet IN
himself.
About US are the beautiful things OF
the earth, as well as those things
which are base and fun OF ugliness.
But in order TO attract those things
which shall bring to us that sense OF
satisfaction which alone is able to
make us happy. we must first have
within us hidden elements OF beauty
with which to attract.
We are creatures of impulse. But
our impulses must be watered at high
tide. We must fill our reservoirs with
those things which We most lack. SO
that at times when We need them
most, We shall not draw from our
wells and find them dry.
VINO is it that is not thrilled in
the presence of gentIeness, overflow
ing sunshine, or generous warm-
heartedness?
often 1 pass on the street a per-
sonality that stays with ne---and con-
tinues its inspiration. simply because
there was something about it of gem
uineness that radiated itself as IL
passed.
IN like manner we may be that sort
OF personality to others unknown to
U.s.
They tell me that diamond cannok
be dissolved. But the greatest thing
about this stone is the fact that It is
always attracting beauty to itseR. It
will not shine in the dark, but place IL
in the rays Of the sun and it win dance
and sing, even absorbing the light
rays, itself thereby becoming brighter.
Every beautiful thing that you say
is bound to attract more beauufui
things
The more you are able to appre-
bciate loneliness the more you are go
ing to have it in your inner self, to
radiate for the benefit of other people.
And only as you have. are you going to
be able to make lothers want.
Maeterlinek once wrote that this
soul changed into beauty the little
things we gave to it,
Yes, we are a. sort of magnet. But
only attracts it's own kind to itself!

ing dried down and screened. This
peat powder acts as an absorbent and
roughage for the high power feeds
made from the residues from beet and
sugar refineries and it is veryDeasily
digested. Peat is also used as fertil-
fer filler and absorbent Of the more
volatile constituents. It has a steady
market for this purpose. And It is to
be remembered that the burning Of
peat for fuel will make for cleaner
homes ard cities. Peat produces very
little smoke and small residuum of
fertilizer ash which is mighty good for
the garden.
Mr.. Richardson, whose government
work makes him a close student of
the great laboratory of all out-of-
doors, has talked and pleaded for con-
sideration for ets-e peat wealth for
many years. Now he feels confident
and comfortable. The peat movement
is on and. apparently, it has come to
stay and develop quickly into vast
industry.

Grafton for the feelings of the railroad

than they should be. At the same
time-it suggests that the roads reduee
the rates to a figure equivalent to 90
per cent Of present charges. If exist

to know why q reduction has been

Cutting the tax rates that are too
nue. is the plan proposed by the franz
Ell of the new revenue bill. This
policy might well be followed by the
railroads in connection with transport
tation charges. The tax bill as it now
appears. probably is a better one than
generally was expected. But there
still remains one point at which It
could be improved. 1t should pro-
vide for the lifting of the transporta-
ton taxes at once, instead of on Jan

this country feel none too friendly to-
wards business interests, because of
the wholesale gouging which was in
dulged in during and after the war,
and because of the many revelations
of extortion and graft IN numerous
trades and industries. The admins

sideration to the interests of the pub
lie rather than the interests of this or

public will be better served by low

METHOD|STS ADOPT
RESOLUTION TO-DAY
PAY TRIBUTE TO VENERATED
HEAD OF CONFERENCE IN
SPHERES OF WORK.

The following resolutions, adopted
by the Fourth Quarterly conference
of the Moscow charge, Columbia con-
ference, Methodist diocese, were hand
ed in for publication Tuesday:
Whereas, Our District Superintend-
ent, Rev. Charles MacCaughey, D. D.,
has shown himself to be Christian
administrative officer of the highest
order, rendering at great personal
sacrifice, a service that has carried
him successfully over what at first
appeared to be insurmountable OBJ
stacles.
No service has been treated by him
as being of only minor in its import
ance, but his genius as an organizer,
his gifts as a preacher, has taken him
everywhere throughout his district,
that the true gospel might be preach
ed to an anxious, waiting people, and
we note with pleasure that the re-
suits are such as to entitle him to have
us speak words of encouragement and
approval.
Whereas, The Rev. Harold O. Perry,
D. D., has handled the work of our
local church, including all it's added
burdens. with such unusual skill and
with such fine Christian spirit al
ways the predominating force in his
life, that, the Moscow Church has be-
come recognized as one of the best
organized institutions of its kind IN
the Northwest and it's people keenly
responsible to the best type of Chris
tian service. locally and in the for
eign field.
He has graciously bid us become
co-partners with him in this great
enterprise of serving people, by CIV
ing them the gospel, unadulterated
and unchanged; his superior knowl-
edge of business conditions, as 1t af-
fects our constituency and showing
their ability to meet and discharge
the necessary obligations in the build
ing program now well begun, mas
made him the undisputed leader in all
our material Announcements planned
for the near future.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That the
Fourth Quarterly Conference of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church OF
Moscow, Idaho, most heartily endorse
the work of these two earnest Chris
tian leaders, and petition your Honor,
The Presiding Bishop of the Colum-
bia River Conference, to return for
another year, each of the two men
herein mentioned, to the positions so
ably filled by them, and when you
thus do, we pledge to each one indivi-
dually, our united support in spread
ing Christianity and building big
ger, more serviceable church, ma
terially and spiritually.

COMMERCE CHAMBER
HAS IMPORTANT WORK
WILL ARRANGE FOR MEETING
WITH LEWISTON AND THE
GENESEE CHAMBERS.

The Moscow chamber of commerce
will hold its regular noontide dinner,
Wednesday, with chicken on the side.
The attendance of all members is re-
uested for Commissioner Galnford T.
Mix may have very important re-
port to make in common with other
reports from the standing committees.
He is on the committee acting for
the Lewiston, Genesee and Moscow
chambers in respect to the north and
south highways and Idaho publicity
matters.
The Moscow chamber has to ar
rage for very important meeting for
Wednesday, August "a, when it will
entertain the Genesee and Lewiston
bodies. This is to include a committee
of reception, and social annex to the
regular work that is under way for
cooperative movement on the high
ways. The committee appointed at
the Genesee meeting has to make
report on the interview it is to have
with state engineers on the routes in
augurated.
As outlined recently the missing
link" has in some respects been the
feature of discussions by the three
bodies. The question is whether or
not an all Idaho route of routes shall
prevail. On this question as exclu-
sively outlined in this newspaper this
week, the state engineers have their
opinions and urge that the state not
be made a medium for an unselfish
movement in respect to territory. The
Moscow, Genesee, and Lewiston
bodies are acting on the principle that
what benefits one benefits all where
highways are concerned.
The meeting of the Moscow cham
Der of commerce will proved unusual
ly interesting in respect to the pre-
1iminary arrangements. There are a
number of important matters to be
discussed. The cooperation of the
chamber with the city on the fair.
grounds, now that the deed has been
recorded at the court house, may form
another important topic. There are
matters to be taken up.
Secretary B. F. Rowe urges that all
attend and take part in the business
before the chamber.

MOSCOW DENTISTS A
UNIT FOR NEW PRICES
WHAT ABOUT ADVICE FROM
AND TO WORKING MEN IN
PRICE SCHEDULES.

Dentists of Moscow and Latah
county generally will be interested in
the A. P. Report Of the general con-
vention, dispatch from Milwaukee
outlining what should be done for
working men in the matter Of prices:
''The problem of giving good dem
tistry to workingmen at lower prices
is one of the great questions confront
ing the profession DR.. Henry L. Banz-
hat of Milwaukee told the National
Dental Association here today.
He advocated cooperative clinics as
solution. "The average American
working man should be able to buy
honest dentistry at a reasonable fee, =
DIR. Banzhaf said
Better dentistry at lower fees can
only be accomplished when group
of dentists, each a specialist in his
field, comes together in a centrally To-
Gated cooperative dental clinic.
each dentist must operate in his
chosen field only, thus increasing his
efficiency 40 percent, because he does
only the work he is best qualified to
do"
DR.. Banzhaf said the Milwaukee in
dustrial dental clinic was proving a
success. This does work for industrial
establishments with which it has
agreements.

tiff alleges he entered into a contract
with the defendant for the lease of 45
acres of land in Section IA, Township

rental agreed on was $100. Defendant,
