100 Sacks of Wheat

III everyone would donate as gen.
erously toward making up the 100
sacks of wheat for the Near East
Relief fund, as did William Cox,
it would be case of going over
the top with several hundred sacks
to spare. Mr.. Cox took five sacks
to Juliaetta last week, which is
enough to keep child for one year.
The donations for Kendric are not
coming in as fast as they should. If
you can't bring one sack, bring two
or three or five. and leave them at
the Kendrick Rochdale Warehouse.
Mr.. Hanson will see to it that they
are cared for and that they will be
shipped at the proper time.

Over The County

Genesee News: There are perhaps
few who realize that Genesee has an
industry that she should be proud
of, and this is none other than the
gardens planted and worked by
John Maldegen, where seasonable
garden truck of all kinds may be
had. Last week Mr.. Maldegen ship
ped a truck load of caulif1ower,
onions and cabbage to the Lewis
ton Grocery Company-and this IN
face of the fact that Lewiston has
some good gardeners of her own.
Troy News: The parent-teachers
association that did such good work
here last year will be organized
at meeting to be held on the third
Wednesday evening IN this month.
The official call has not been made
yet, but it was announced at meet
ing of the commercial club some
time ago that this date would be
used for the first gathering. This
association was one of the effective
organizations IN Troy last year, and
was used as social gathering as
we'll as one for discussion of the
school and home problems. The
same method of conducting it will
be in vogue again this winter.

Farm Bureau Office Moved

The Office of the Latah County Farm
Bureau and of O. S. Fletcher,
County Agricultural Agent, has
been moved from the office of the
Farmers Union Warehouse Com
pany on south Main Street Moscow,
to the Ostroot office, on Fifth street
in the former Shields & Frantz
building. The proposition of NOV
ing the Office has been under con-
sideration for some time. as the
Farmers Union was in need of all
the room in their building. Also,
the officials of the farm bureau felt
that the Union was being subjected
to unjust criticism by some who
claimed that the Union was deriv-
ing direct financial benefit by having
the office of the County Agent IN
the Union Building. The officials
of the Farm Bureau do not believe
this to be the case, but desire to re-
move any possible grounds tor COM
plant.
N. Williamson, president of the
tarm bureau, has given statement
to the press IN wnich he says that
during the three and one-haf years
since the farm bureau was organ
lzed, it has been given office room,
fuel and light free of all charge by
the Farmers Union, for the purpose
of aiding and helping establish the
work of the farm bureau in the
county, and he believes the manage
ment is entitled to credit for Its
liberaIity and assistance.
The Latah County farm bureau
was organized as, and is now. an
educational organization and is not
commercial. Through this organ
lzatlon the farmers cooperate with
the College of Agriculture and the
experiment station and with the
United States Departent of Agrl-
culture in the solution of their prob.
lens. Among the projects on which
the farm bureau is working are
livestock improvement, grain stand.
ardlzatlon, weed control, land clear.
ing, pest control and poultry I'm.
provement. Farmers in all sections
of the country are interested in the
work CT the Farm Bureau anc
twenty-four communities have loca
carnations.
Farmers from any part of the
county whether farm bureau mem
bers or not, are invited by Count,
Agent Fletcher to call at his new
quarters when in Moscow. Mr.
Fletcher Will continue to hold Sat
urday of each week as office day
and can he seen IN his office on Other
days by appointment.

Death of Michael Bleck

Last Friday afternoon the entire
community was saddened by the
death of Michael Bleck, one Of the
pioneer residents of this community.
Death came after a lingering H.
ness, caused by the after effects of
influenza which he had while in
Spokane several years ago. He had
the best of care and attention by his
devoted wife and children, but sew
era weeks before his death 1T was
realized that nothing could be done
for him and that it was only a
question of short time until his
life thi cad would break.
Mr.. Bleck's kindly personality
will be greatly missed in this COM
munity. He was man who had an
unusually large number of real
fl lends. Almost every evening dur
ing the past summer a number of
mis- friends would gather at his
home to spend several hours with
him. They enjoyed his company
because of his pleasant manners and
his kindly disposition which were Sc
characteristic of his every day life
In his death the community has lost
one of Its best citizens.
Michael Bleck was born Septem.
ber 10, 1858 IN Vandsburg, West
Prussia. At the age of fifteen years
he came with his parents to America
and settled at Green Isle, MIN.
nesota. In 1880 he was married tt
Amelia Kurzweg, who is now his
widow. Six children survive HIM
two sons and four daughters. They
are: Henry and William Bleck, Mrs
Emma Brunslek, Mrs. Russell Rog
ers. all living near Cameron; Mrs
Charles thornton of Lewiston, IdahC
and Miss Mabel Bleck of Kendrlck
In 1902 he and his family came t,
Cameron where he farmed success
fully for number of years, late
moving to Kendrlck where he mad,
his home until 1917 when he rnovee
to Spokane. After partially re
covering from an attack of influ
enza he was advised by his physician
to move to lower altitude, so il
1920 he again came to Kendrlck t,
make his home.
Mr.. BIeck was a member of tn
Lutheran church, having served il
the capacity of decon tor man
years. While IN kendrick in 1911
he served as a member of the tow
council and his ideas were alway
along progressive lines.
A most impressive and largel
attended funeral service was held a
the Cameron church Sunday, unde
the direction of Rev. George Fink
= and Rev. E. A. Rein, the forme
preaching in German and the latte
having charge of the English ser
vice. A choir from Kendrlck tul
nished music.

BANKS OF MERIDIAN
y SHOULD BE COMMENDED

Some have been accusing the banks
Of the nation of refusing to finance
the farmers In holding their crops,
and thereby forcing great loss on the
agricultural interests
AS matter OF fact, the banks in
every locality (as well as in Merld-
lam have financed the farmers long
past the time when many crops
should have been sold. Banks have
crippled their own resources in ex-
tending these loans month after
month, and in many localities, refusal
of farmers to sell crops has caused a
serious condition in banking circles.
The Federal Reserve Bank will not
re-discount wheat paper, and local
bank has no recourse open but to in
sist on payment, Any fair minded
man can see that bank which is the
guardian of thousands of individual
deposits has no right to speculate on
any crop and extend loans for an in
definite period while the producer
holds for high price which may
never come. The banks are not t.
blame for present market conditions
and they are to be commended for
carrying the load to the extent they
have, while, at the same time protect
ing the interests Of depositors.

A MILD DECEMBER

I'm contrast with December of last
year, which was the coldest on record
in Idaho, December just passed was
exceptionally mild" !" states the SUM
mary for the month prepared by the
Boise weather bureau
The weather was too mild for the
good of fruit as it tended to start the
flow of sap and swelling of buds, ac-
cording to the report. Little progress
was recorded in farm work. Some
ploughing was done the report says,
In the Clearwater valley and the Twin
Falls district, but field work In most
sections stopped,
During the % years of official rec
ord, only two Decembers show a
greater precipitation for Idaho and
the average snowfall is exceeded by
but three.
The number of clear days was be-
low the December average.
