Including the names of valiant
ex-service men among the list OF
slackers leads unbiased people to
suspect that the persons who
kept the records should head the
list. The lists sent out by the
war department have been found
to be so unreliable the press Of
the country hesitates to publish
them until the record of each
man has been carefully traced.
If the records of the war depart
ment and the draft boards have
been so loosely kept as to be larg-
ely unreliable, then the editorial
fraternity is quite justified in re
fusing to publish the names of al
legged draft evaders until infor-
nation can be supplied from a
source that is dependable. 1t is
better to let hundred guilty
men escape than to publicly hui
initiate one innocent veteran.

All those farmers in the. Nez-

terested in the production of po-
tatoes, and more especially the
production of seed potatoes, will
have an opportunity to meet with
Il. r. Bennett, extension potatoe
specialist, on Saturday morning,
May 28th, at the Evergreen
school house,
This meeting will be for the
purpose of discussing all phases
Of seed potato culture, including
the marketing. Mr. Bennett is a
man of wide experience in the po-
tato game and an expert in his
line and knows conditions all ov-
er the state and in the North
west. Any potato certification
work in the state is carried ON
under his supervision and it is he
who will make the field 'and bin
inspections for the certification
work in this county.
A number of farmers have be-
come interested in the production
of potatoes for seed and have Sc
cured few sacks apiece of GER
titled seed to begin with this
year, and although a good many
have planted by this time, it is
urged, nevertheless, that they at
tend this meeting on Saturday
morning and discuss the POSSIBLE
tiles of the development of the
industry in Lewis county. A gem
eral meeting will be held in the
afternoon at Fred Schubert s
farm, six miles north of Winches-
ter at which all the potato grow
ers of the Winchester and Golden
Ridge communities will attend.

That diplomacy might be aptly

That governments are like

That this country and Japan
are waging war in the approved
manner. They are making diplo-
matte faces at each other from a
safe distance.
That it is best to throw the
mantle of charity over the mis-
takes of your neighbor. You may
need circus tent to cover your

That planting trees i'll memory

Flowers From Flanders Fields
For Memorial Day.

On May 80, uniting in a splen
did spirit of brotherhood, the al
lied nations will pay reverence to
the heroes Of the World War
America S Decoration day has
been chosen by the mterallied
Veterans as the day TO pay HON
age to the dead. The cemeteries
in France will be throngeds by a
reverend multitude of men, wo-
men and children-th these little
French children who remember
our boys.
There will be a national dem
onstration on that day in honor
Of the men to whom we all owe
so much. Mrs. Alfred Bulge,
Idaho chairman for the day OBJ
servance, requests that on May
30 everyone wear the poppy,

ted at its last national convention
as its memorial flower, "the pop

red poppy of France-that grows
wild everywhere there. =
Through the cooperation OF
the American Legion, replicas of
the real peoples will be offered
for sale to be worn ON Memorial
and Poppy Day, says Mrs. Bulge
The real poppies are to fragile
to be transported, but the Amer
lean and French Children
League has arranged the best
substitute for the real flower,
which is the poppy made by the
women of France who knew our
boys, by the children who loved
them, by the people who now live
in the very places where Ameri-
ca S best fought and won and
where so many sleep. The prof
its from the sale of the peoples
will go to the relief of children
in devastated France. Memorial
Day peoples will be offered at 10
cents each. or more as one feels
generously inclined.
Mrs. Bulge says eve cannot
go to Flanders fields, but we can
all wear an outward sign in mem-
DRY of our men so that the citi-
zens of our state will take full
part in the nation s demonstra-
ton of reverence and admiration
for the men who served in 1917
Is, bringing glory to the flag

DON'T STOP WRESTLING.

Have you ever noticed a small
boy go whistling down the
street, He was happy. Some
day, though, he may not be so
happy. He may be president of
the United States instead.
It's too bad we can't carry our
exuberance of happiness through
life, instead of leaving it at the
Threshold of manhood, as most
of us do. When we reach man
hood s estate we plunge into the
business of piling up money, and
the pile is never satisfactory I'M
til it is larger than our needs re-
quire. Even then we yearn for
more. Some people never really
enjoy their money because they
never stop accommodating it long
enough to take a rest. They for
get the days when they were
whistling kids, and joy was their
portion in life. Finally they die
and leave their money for their
relatives to scrap over and squan-
der.
Whistling kids who discard
their happiness in their prime
will become morose in old age.
Encourage your boy to whistle
Induce him to whistle stirring
tune every day of his life. Then
he will carry his whistling to the
grave. and the harps of the an
gels will be in harmony with his
soul

Because Nezperce prairie farm
values are off a little at this
time, like most everything else, is
no reason for feeling that the
real and comparative value Of
these farms has diminished one
iot. just view the growing crops
here today and sum up the har-
vest this fall, and you will again
conclude that as a farming coun-
try this has no equal. And the
present promising crop stands out
against the fact that these acres
have been worked almost inces-
sanity, with comparatively little
summer following, during the
past several years of high priced
wheat.
