Is mussel which is by no means a
new article Of diet to the people Of
Canada. Its delicacy of flavor and
high food value have been much adj
vertised since the establishment Of

the st. Croix river. which constitutes

that this year viii see the satisfac-

UNITED STATES NOW LEADER
Europe, Exhausted by War, Must
Yield First Place In Medical and
Surgical Supremacy.

World leadership In medicine and
surgery no longer Is In Europe, but
has been transferred to the United
States. as one Of the results Of war,
90 DIR. George w. Grille Of Cleveland
stated In his address to the American
College Of Surgeons In convention at
st. Louis recently, says the Ohio State
Journal. This country made enor-
nous contributions In all branches Of
medicine and surgery during the war,
he pointed out. being particularly well
equipped to render that important
service because Of the research and
Development work that have been no
conspicuous In the field Of scientific
medicine here during the last quarter
Of q century.
With the end Of the war European
nations are exhausted and have linn
tied resources and little of spirit to
go ahead with that important work,
while this country has resources with.
out limit and spirit equal to the op-
Dortunity. Europe 10 all topsy turvy.
Its famous old medical schools are
shaken. its great hospitals are ex-
hausted, Its professional life shocked
and wearIed. Doctor Grille states the
situation with marked distinctness
whom he says: THE torch, all but
gone out. has been handed us because
we alone are left the means to light
the way" II was his thought that the
medlcal schools and research institu-
lions Of the land be supplied with
every resource, their work broadened
and requirements raised. that the
World war opportunity may be devel-
sped and the problems Of the future
met successfully.

KINDNESS CARRIED TOO FAR
Affection unwisely Bestowed Has
Given Birth to Saying That
Has Become Famous.

Kindness brought to the point of
embarrassment or even harm leads us
to say that the recipient has been
KILLED by kindsess"
This phrase has been variously ex-
planned. One authority brings its
origin hack 10 the days before Christ.
Ancient history tells us of the death
of DracO. the great Grecian legislator,
and his ancient code of laws" He
died In 500 b. c. In this extraordinary
manner:
Draco made an address in one of the
great theaters In his native city. He
was so beloved by his people and they
were so eager to give him a tangible
demonstration OF their devotion that
they took their cloaks and other gar
ments from their own shoulders and
threw them on him as gifts.
The trouble was that In their wild
enthusiasm they aimed so well that
poor Draco finally succumbed under
the weight and when the mountain of
clothing was removed from him II was
found that the old gentleman had
breathed his last.
According to one authority. however.
KILLED by Kindness is q phrase used
because of the fact that certain mother
apes are so fond of their young that
they clutch them so tightly as to
smother them to death against their
bodies.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

ADVISE BANKERS ON
WAREHOUSE MEASURE

Bankers throughout the county have
received the following communication
relative to the bonded warehouse law
of the state of Idaho from the depart.
ment of agriculture at Boise:
I'm view Of the fact that Idaho has
a wheat crop estimated at 20 million
bushels the question of holding grain
in store is Of the greatest Importance
to the business interests Of this state.
1t is generally conceded that wheat
will go higher and the Importance Of
the, state receiving the maximum price
for its crop Is apparent.
Section 2031, Idaho Compiled Stat
utes, reads as follows: The business
Of marketing farm products In this
state is hereby declared to be affected
with public interest and to be sub
ject to regulation and control by the
state
Section 1919 defines the Bonded
Warehouse law as follows: The
term public warehouse as used in
this chapter shall be deemed to mean
every building, structure, or other
protected enclosure in which any agri-
cultural produce is received for stor-
age or transfer for compensation |;
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1921-08-25

such warehouses; are hereby declared
to be public utilities"
Following the provisions Of the law
above cited, Bonded warehouses are
authorized to receive grain i'm storage
and issue therefore negotiable re-
ceipt which Affords the producer the
very best OF security, fully protected
by bond and insurance policies, for
negotiating temporary loans and avail
ing himself Of the privilege of holding
his grain II he so desires. The law Is
so arranged that 1t is practically i'm
possible for anyone to sustain loss
by virtue Of these negotiable receipts,
and 1t affords the warehouseman rea-
sonable compensation for the use Of
his warehouse and likewise an oppor-
tunity to buy the wheat when It is Of
fered for sale.
Warehouses are not required to give
over. all their space to storage but
that portion Of it in keeping with their
usual storage business, reserving IN
most cases one-hah or their capacity
for handling cash business. The prac-
tice Of forcing the farmer to sell d.
rect from the machine should be dis
couraged, it would seem, for the rea-
son that heds entitled to the full bene-
fit OF rising market and IL he Is de-

but IL Is not well 10 infer from, this
consideration. for they are confessedly
marked by a simplicity. dignity and
solidlty, of construction and a correct
use of decoration which, according to
authorities. give them high place In
building systems of the world.
In Egypt. as In all countries. we find
that building forms were dictated by
and adapted to the exigencies Of cli-
mate. The constructive instinct. since
the beginning of time. apparently. has
been strong In the average man. and
nowhere did 1t impress itself In sim
pier, more enduring and more majes-
tic forms than in Egypt.
This is true, despite the fact that
the Egyptians professed. in view Of
the brevity of life. to consider their
dwellings as mere "wayside INNS"
and to regard 1t, therefore. a matter of
comparative indifference how they
were constructed. Notwithstanding
this attitude as to earthly dwelling
places, the rich and great lavished

Of cases the profits naturally rising
therefrom accrue to outside interests
instead Of to the business interest Of
Idaho
Bonding warehouses under the stare
law is a very simple and inexpensive
process and 1t has tendency to slim
ulate production, the most important
feature in the future building of our
commercial prosperity. When ware
houses are filed. as they doubtless
will be, arrangements can be made to
move this storage wheat to terminal
elevators and until the same is soil
the farmers, under the provisions Of
the warehouse law, are accorded a
legal certificate Of storage which In
itself is OF the very highest collateral
value.
This department has no power to
force dealers to avail themselves of
the warehouse act except where stor-
age charges are made, In which case
wareh0usemen are subject to heavy
penalties. Neither is this department
advising farmers to store their grain,
nor to sell it. but it Is as required
by law, making public a condition of
importance to both the producer and
the business interest Of the state.
