A certain group of unmarried men
have decided that they want to eat at
their own table and being unable to
gain a cook in the usual manner, have
organized, rented house and hired a
cook. Hereafter their feet will be un-
der their own board and at night they
will sleep in their own house. During
the long winter evenings to come they
will enjoy themselves in their own
sitting room by their own fire. The
house Is the Swedish parsonage.

The keynote of the thing seems to
center around home life for some OF

Notes By The Way

The times seem to be out of Joint
In travelling over the state you rare
ly meet man without a hard luck
story. These stories, in most cases.
are not the result of a crouch. The
business man, and more especially
the farmer, is up against the real
thing-hard times.
We have met in our travels men
whose highest ambition, for the next
few years, is to make enough to pay
taxes and interest and in many cases
the outlook for success in this under
taking is very gloomy.
The booster says he sees business
revival "just around the corner" but
in most cases he is willing to admit
that it may be only the shadow OF
this elusive impersonality But with
this condition of affairs this article
is not Immediately concerned.
Within the last month the writer
has been through number of the
important cities of the state and has
had the opportunity Of somewhat
careful observations. He does not hes
itate to say that pessimism prevails
throughout Idaho. High taxes and th'
upward trend of interest rates seen
to be at the bottom of nearly al
complaints. That Idaho will weathe
this unwelcome depression along al
business lines there is no doubt bu
good times are not in the immedi
ate future.
In our meanderings we have com
to the little city of Kendrick nestle

things here prosperity ought to reig
supreme. While everything is not jus
what it might be or ought to be, still
comparatively speaking, this is tn

OF course economy must be pra'
ticed but often this kind of discipliI
is what we really need. While this
being done, the comforting messas
comes to every resident of this fl
vored locality that there is no con
munity in the state that is faring be

of public auction sales held over the
county in the month of September,
according Ito George Vennigerholz
deputy county assessor, who has been
acting as clerk at the sales. All classes
of goods have been sold at these
sales and all commodities have
brought good prices.
Practically all the sales have been
cash sales, Mr.. Vennigerholz said,
with cash to the seller. Some goods
have been paid for, in promissory
notes payable in not more than 30
days but Moscow banks are now hold
ing little or no paper upon which
money has beened borrowed to make
payment for the sales.
Horses and cattle are selling for
less than last year at the sales The
price for horses has been cut more
than in half while the price for cattle
has been cut so per cent. The low
market for horses, according to Mr.
Vennigerholz, is caused by the short
crop in, Latah county for the last
three years. The horses have not been
needed and farmers are letting them
go at low figures rather than feed
them.
Although prices are low on some
types of goods, no. ably horses and
