Has Fine Fruit Farm

Dave Waltz has one of the best
fruit ranches in Potlatch canyon. He
has some fine apples this year.
They are not large but are free from
worms and scab. He only sprayed
once for worms this season. Mr..
Waltz says that some years the
worms are much worse than others
and this is one of the favorable
years. He had good crop of
prunes this fall but the market has
not been very good. His vineyard
has tons of fine grapes. Some of the
vines from which the leaves have
fallen, look like purple MOUNDS.
He raises principally Concords and
they are very fine. Judging from
the appearance of his vineyard the
slopes of the Potlatch canyon are
adapted to the growing of grapes
of the very finest quality. They
thrive with little care.

JEFFERSON DAVIS

(From The Blade, Toledo, Ohio)
On memorial park laid out within
the county Of Todd, in Kentucky, the
gray fragments of the Confederate
army win rally On June 3, 1922, to see
unveiled the 175-foot obelisk which is
the last Offering Of the south to JEFF
ferson Davis. On this site, ia years
ago, was born the Confederacy, for
here was born the man who for 25
years after it maintained implacably
the doctrine of state rights. the prin-
ciple of secession, the contention that
the constitution IS voluntary com
pact of sovereign states. 1t is mys-
terry of fate which brought two Ken
lucky lads of similar age, born lao
miles apart, to the forefront in the
most romantic of all wars. 1t was
double mystery that one course Of life
should lead Lincoln forward as an
apostle Of nationalism and another
course of life made Davis the cham
pion of state rights. Yet from early
manhood Lincoln always saw the I'm
ion above all, and from early man
hood Davis cherished the state. He
cherished it to the point Of sacrifice.
When his wounds and gallantry in the
Mexican war brought him an appoint
ment from President Polk as a
brigadier general Of volunteers, he re
fused, declaring that only state
could make an officer Of state volun-
teers. Wounds and gallantry in the
Mexican War! Who remembers tina.
Davis shed his blood for the nation?
Who remembers that he served in the
Black Hawk War, that as secretary of
war under Pierce he created a new
artillery and a new infantry? These
were national acts, and Davis desired
no fame as a nationalist. He chose
his own field Of service for danger
or renown-he was of the Confederacy
before it was born and after it was
dead and he would now rather be dear
to a remnant of gray veterans than
command the worlds armies.

THE SALARY QUESTION

The old question Of salaries for
county officers which provoked more
controversy than any other subject
before the 1920 session of the legis-
lature, will be again to the fore which
the lawmaking body conyenes in
January. -1
The salary bill, as finally enacted
in 1920, expires by limitation en- April
/, 1922, and, unless the legislature at
it's coming session enacts a new law
on the subject, salaries will revert to
the standard fixed four years. before
WHEN the fee system was abolished.
The law reads that "the salaries fixed
by this act shall remain in force unl
til April /, 1922, and no longer"
1t is certain, of course, that there
will be a great deal of tinkering with
the salary question. There is a
great deal of dissatisfaction in some
sections, especially the hill counties
where the low pressure brigade re-
CARDS the standards of pay as too
high, and they will demand that
county officers work for less money.
On the other hand, it is being point
ed out that in other counties officers
are getting more pay than they re-
ceived under the fee system.
Tinkering with the salaries Of state
officers is also anticipated. There
are some legislators who think that
the state officers ought to be put back
on pre-war basis and they will make
a determined fight with this end in
Jackson Daily News.

MEETING ON THE SQUARE

Members of Columbus Lodge, No. 5, Free and
Accepted Masons met at their Temple last Friday
night with the Worshipful Master, Hon. B. A.
Lincoln, in the chair
A man asked us once, 'Why Is Masonry? We
couldn't tell him. The answer to that question
must be answered by each individual citizen who
desires to know.
There is an ancient legend Of the Middle Ages
about Princess Of Rheims who wove long pieces
OF enchanted tapestry, and into them she worked
and wove dim figures vast and vague like the
huge symbols of some high romance; but they
were figures which none could interpret except
those of her pupils who had been initiated by her
into the mysteries of her magic art. Such prin-
cess is Masonry and she sits through the CEN
turtles, weaving the long and lustrous tapestries
of the legends and the ritual, the signs and
symbols, the secret and sacred obligations of the
ancient and honorable craft But none can I'M
derstand and interpret the enchanted figures that
she weaves except those who have been initiated
valuable and lasting contribution towards recon-
struction.
Today, while the world is struggling to regain
its footing after the awful period of blood and
carnage and clash of arms that shook civilization
from center to circumference Freemasonry stands
as one of the few potent forces able to make q
vauabl eand last contribution towards reconstruc-
ton.
In the choice between truth and error; in the
war of the soul against the dust; in the conflict
between decency and rottenness; in the struggle
between civilization and bolshevism, Freemasonry
stands on the side Of the great ideaisms and
aspirations OF the soul Ion the side of the optim-
iSns Of our race, our blood, our thoughts.
FreemasonIy holds and presents the spiritual
view of life-that life should be measured and
valued by the light of the highest terms and the
ultimate purposes of mind and truth and inspra-
ton. Because it does this, therefore, Masonry
calls upon each of its members to hear and obey
the still small voice of God as it whispers through
the conscience to the soul of each individual
Mason. In other words, by reason of the rectitude
and the righteousness inherent in it, Masonry
dares to read the meaning OF the universe through
what is noblest in man. BY its legends and its
traditions, its ritual its secret and sacred obg-
ations, Masonry impresses upon the world that
the soul in man is akin to "That eternal Spirit
whose dreams are consultations and in whose
thought the infinite exists" and that by life of
honesty and purity and brotherly love the eternal
quality of the soul is revealed and proved It is
upon this kind of a solid foundation that Free
masonry rests. 1t builds its house not on the
shifting sands Of opinion nor upon the ephemeral
things of earth but upon the bed rock of eternal
truth. Mason true to his obligation is in league
with the great Creator in making the world bet
ter and nobler Where there is sorrow he would
bring comfort; where there is darkness he would
bring light.

American Legion National Chaplain Offers to Marry Legionnaires Free
 During Kansas City Convention
CBy International News service)

(By International News Serwce)
 KANSAS CITY, Mo. Aug 24.-Be, cause he believes that marriage of the right sort is the best that can happen to a worthy ex-seryice man, the Rev. John w. InZer. national chaplain of the American Legion, has offered to marry without cost all legion men who visit the third an, nual national convention of the or. ganization at Kansas City, October 3l. November and 2.
 The legion chaplain's offer was made in a letter received by Albert E. Hutchings, convention executive committee chairman. In furtherance of the Rev. InZer's project. conven. tion officials announces tha; all ex, penses for marriage licenses would be paid by the convention executive committee.
 The Rev. Inzer, who is paster of the First Baptist Church at Chant. tanooga. Tenn, explains his offer in the following letter:
 Recently a splended young eX- Service man from an eastern city came here with his bride to be married by the national chaplain I call this leg. ion loyelty. The thought has come to some of us that there are a num- Der of fellows who might like to be married at the convention by the national chaplain. It would have a touch of romance about it surely. I shall be glad to preform ceremonies absolutely free of charge for all ex, service men and their brides during the period of the convention. Of course l would expect any one who had been divorced to show Scrip. llial cause for same.
 "I am a firm believer in marriage one man to a wife. A married ex, service man has more to live for becomes a better citizen and as a rule, a much betted man. AS some one has said: His sacrifices for his country have made him intensely pat. yiofic and the acquisition of 6 home snd family win eliminate that vague
