INTIMATE D|SCOURSES
(By George Bingham, Writer of Ma
tional Fame, Who is Wintering
in Lakeland.)

l have been perusing some patent
medicine ads. They put before the
public the greatest system building
tonics on the market. read one three
days ago. 1t was a good one. The
testimonial author sized up my case
exactly. l never could understand how
those writer's could know so much
about other people ailments. But
they sure do! After having read this
one l was sure l should go to the
drug store and get bottle In fact
have been needing tonic and invig-
orator ever since the nation went
dry. But just about the time 1 was
ready to count my change to see il
l had enough for the first bottle, my
attention was fastened on double
column, next-to-pure-reading- matter
testimonial of another very popular
and eXtensively-adve remedy.
EI identity it was a rival to the other
medicine. This testimonial stated that
the tonic is pleasant to take, makes
YOU sleep we'll, look better, work hard
or and feel fine. While. always did
want to look better a fog now arose
in my mind, and l have since been
on the fence in the matter. Possibly
might take both remedies, each in
Jropstitch doses, but that would not
do. because the testimonials from one
remedy are written by strictly relia-
lie persons, also ministers and con-
gressmen, and all declare they have
tried everything else and nothing at
all even made them look up until they
took a case of this medicine Now,
that IS enough to convince any sane
persCn they should take this remedy
and 40 other, because l affirm that
since all these prominent people have
taken everything else and it did them
no good, it would be the top-most
height Of folly for me to squander my
precious money and valuable time on
experimenting by taking everything
else? So far so good; but then here
comes right on an opposite page q
pramiL1nt lady of Montana She has
been taking this other medicine for
thirty-six years and has raised a yard
full of children on it. And she has a
notary public, whose commission does
no. expire until next year, to back
her UP III her statement that it is
without one iota of doubt the best and
really only remedy, and personally
she warns the public to take no So
called cure-all, even if it does come
highly recommended, because the
medicine she praises is made from the
original formula which was pre-
Scribed by DR.. j. W. Smith, of Goose
Ankle, Ky, during his sixty years of
constant practice. Now, l want some
one smarter than l to say what a
fellow is going to do in such a case.
. don't know, and may not be doing
right. but after brooding over it for
days and nights l am a good mind
to let nature take its course and I'll
just go ahead and die a natural death
when my time comes. G.B.

Ketchell Beats orton.

Young" Stanley Ketchell i.
steadily moving up the ladder al
one of the very best of the ives
tern welterweights. Last Monday
night, in the premier number o.
the boxing card under the aus
pices of the Lewis-C Clark Athletic
club, he knocked out Roy Ortor
of Spokane, boxing instructor Of
the Spokane Athletic club, in the
ninth round. The fight had beer
scheduled for twelve rounds.
In the earlier rounds there hao
been much infinghting, but it was
apparent from occasional swings
that Ketchell was watching his
opportunity for the vital blow
This chance came in the ninth
and two right crosses to the jaw
brought the finish. Orton had put
up a clever boxing fight but ii
was apparent quite early in the
course Of the gruelling contest
that the younger and heavier
man would win. Ketchell had
again proved that he carried the
knockout kick in a vicious right.
Orton, who was outweighed by
Ketchell, and who lacked reach
and height, fought a game fight.
His ducking served him well, and
many times during the first eight
rounds he delivered blows of
force to Ketchell's body and face,
the latter retaliating in like man
ner Ketchell missed several fine
chances for telling blows through
wild swings. While clinching pre-
called during portions of every
round the contest was one of the
fastest staged here for some time.
A challenge was delivered in
person by Jack Carpenter of Salt
Lake City, who expresses a desire
to meet Ketchell, and it is pos
sible this match might be arrang-
ed, while it was also announced
that the local club will try to
bring Ketchell and Travie Davis;
coast welter weight champion,
together.
Ketchell will leave today for
Wallace, en- route to Helena.
Mont, where he will take on a
series of fights against men in
his class in that state. He is
eager thas arrangements be made
to have him fight Davis here.

The Letter.

Boise, January s, 1921
Mr.. E. III. Ratliff,
Nezperce, Idaho.
My Dear Mr.. Ratliff:
For myself and for the Idaho
Crop Reporting Service / wish to
express appreciation for your eff
forts to faithfully serve the peo-
pie.
The agricultural statistics from
your county for the year 1920
are among the most complete and
accurate returned by the asses
sors Of the state. The number of
farms reported by you and as re-
turned by the census enumera-
tors, although several months
elapsed between the two listings,
agree quite closely. Sales that
may have been made in the mean
time and the new farms in the
cutover districts may very easily
account for the small discrepancy
in the two reports.
Acreage statistics are of much
Importance as they are a basis
for estimating crop production
by the U. S. Department of Agri
culture, and estimated production
has a great influence upon the
price the grower receives for his
products. In your accuracy you
are therefore contributing toward
the welfare of the people who
have honored you by placing you
in the position you hold.
Very truly yours,
0. III. Barber, Commissioner.

your own plate, fork, cup and
spoon and you will have plenty
to eat. The couple who can wrap
their dishes in the neatest bundle
will receive a prize.
Don't be too late;
Don't come too soon,
But bring your plate,
Fork, cup and spoon.

Ex-C County Treasurer Mckee
Dead

A legion Of friends in Lewiston
and the Lewiston section will
hear with regret Of the death of
L. T. Mckee. He passed away at
IL :25 O'Clock Tuesday night at
the st. Joseph hospital, he having
been taken to that institution last
Sunday from his home on Sixth
street, Charleston, when an illness
of a critical nature developed.
Mr.. Mckee is survived by Mrs.
Mckee whose parents will arrive
here this forenoon from the
Craigmont section.
Mr.. Mckee for long period
was manager of the Tri-State Ter
minal company in Lewiston, hav-
ing come to this point from the
Spokane office of that organiza-
ton. Later he was associated
with the l. p. Ragan garage, and
recently became an employe of
the auditing department of the
Camas Prairie Railway company.
Mr.. Mckee was a member of
the Ells lodge of Lewiston and
held many friendships here and
in the prairie region to the east.
He was 40 years old-Lewiston
Tribune.
Up to the time of his entering
the service Of the Tri-State Ware
house Co., some five years ago,
Luther T. Mckee had long been
resident Of Reubens and Nez-
perez in this county. AT the for
mer place he held an office posi-
ton with the Camas Prairie Rail
oad Co., from which he was elect
treasurer Of Lewis county, re-
moving to this city. He was re-
elected to this office and later re-
signed to accept the management
of the Nezperce Rochdale Co.,
which place he held until he took
on the larger work with the Tri-
State Co. During his residence in
Reubens he married Miss Nab
bott, a daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
t. j. S. Mabbott, of Craigmont,
who survives him.
Luther Mckee was every inch
a mana man who played thel
great game of life square out
from the shoulder; ever able tol
look his fellows squarely in the
eye, and unflinchingly and UNI
complainingly he met his duties
and masterfully handled situa-
tions that are seemingly sent to
try the souls of men. He was an
incessent and efficient worker,
and it might be said that thru
his disposition to keep everlast-
ingly at what his hand and his
brain found to do came the i'm,
pairment of his health, the break
ing of an iron constitution, and
though years of distress resulted
from stomach ailment, he never
murmured and kept up the fight
to the last minute.
Such a man we are. proud to
call our friend. He will be missed
by all of us who knew him, and
we sympathize deeply with those
who knew him as husband and

Another Fire.

A vacant residence in north
east Nezperce belonging to Jas.
Long, of Kooskia, and formerly
owned and occupied by A. Farm
er. was totally destroyed by fire
about two o'clock Wednesday
morning. The origin of the fire
is a mystery, and there was no
chance Of saving the property
for it was well enveloped in
flames before the fire was dis
covered and the alarm given. The
night was very stormy and it was
first feared the blaze might
spread to other property, but
this was prevented.
Insurance to the amount of
$1,000 was carried on the place.

critics Union, of New York City, that
s'martial law was declared by the Gov

Huerfano County is in the southern
Colorado coal fields, where miners en-

cause for suspension Of the civil rights
