Over The County

Deary freSS: One trOuDle With
the people of the United States is
that during the tat years OF the war
and lmmedlatly succeeding they
spent all Of their earnings, or most
OF them, in rlotous living. AS this
is Bible term it is apparent that
human nature has not changed very
much IN six thousand years. If the
entire country had observed as faith
fully nationwide money saving pro-
gram from 1917 to 1921 as 1t OBJ
served food saving under Mr.. Hoov-
er's direction IN 19l7-18 there would
be little or no complaint of hard
times or close money.

Genesee News: At meeting o1
the Uniontown Commercial club re-
Gently it was decided regarding tht
general direction and route of thu
proposed road from Uniontown at
the Washington idaho state line t.
tap the proposed Idaho road from
Moscow.
After considerable discussion j
was finally decided to ask the Whit
man county commissioners to built
Donahue road from Unlontown il
north and easterly direction to tai
the Idaho road south of the Ander
son ranch on the thorn creek road
which, when that portion of tn
road is surfaced, will give them al
outlet to the north.
The residents of Unlontown ar
determined to have the road and ar
preared to push 1t with all thei
might, but there are those VIII
think the Thorn creek route woul
be the better and that when it come
to the commissioners making a dc
clSion that that cute will be select
ed as it will be practically waite
grade and about mile shorter.
Star-Mirror: The part that tn
high freight rates play IN financis
affairs of the farmer, especlall!
is illustrated in an incident !
which local people figure the shiI
ment of car of corn, weighing 60
600 pounds from an Iowa town
Lewiston. This corn was bougt
by the Mark P. Miller MiIIln
Company of this city and the frcigi
bills were received by Mr.. Miller
few days ago. 1t may astonlsh tho.
who have not been doing any gre;
amount OF Shipping to kEow tn;
more than two thirds of the cost I
the corn laid down at Lewiston is
the freight. About one-thlrd of Il
cost of the carload was paid to ii
warehouse man at the Iowa pom
and it is probable that the farm
who grew the corn received at lea
$25 less than the amount paid Il
dealer.
The illustration is striking o
but the same thing is occurring CO
tlnualIy, lnN the shipment of t
farmers product from the neare
warehouse point to the market.
