FIT MATE FOR GREAT MAN
Wife of President Monroe Famous on
Two Continents for Her DipIo-
macy and Tact.

Elizabeth KOrtright, wife q James
Monroe, fifth President of the United
States, and Trainer of the Monroe doc
trine, was in every way suited for the
position of Madame President. Digni-
fed, almost courtly, well educated and
accustomed to the society of states
men, Elizabeth Kortright, when she
married Mr.. Monroe in 1856, was ade-
quately prepared to assume the re-
sponsibility of her high estate.
In 1894, when her husband was sent
as United States minister to France
Mrs. Monroe accompanied him on this
most important and delicate mission,
and acquitted herself with all the
grace and tact that such a situation
demanded. Again in 1903, when Mr..
Monroe was once more sent to Paris
as the American representative and
consummated the Louisiana purchase,
his wife made her gracious and inf1u-
entail presence felt in many ways.
And she had power, too, as is testi-
fed to by her intercession in the cause
of Madame de Lafayette, who was
incarcerated in the prison Of La Force,
hourly awaiting execution. Mrs Mon
roe, through her tact and diplomacy,
was able to effect the release Of the
distinguished Frenchwoman.

Ancient Weights and Measures.

The earliest mention of weighing Is
found in the Bible, and the first re-
corded instance of weighing is that
mentioned in the Book of Genesis
(XXIII, Is, 16) when Abraham
weighed to Ephron the Hittite, 400
shekels of silver for the field and cave
Of Machpelah. Job prayed to be
weighed in an even balance" and
"just balances, just weights" are
divinely commanded in Leviticus. On
the pictured walls of Egyptian pyra-
mids and sepulchral chambers the gods
are frequently portrayed weighing the
souls of the departed in the balance,
SO that from the earliest dawn of
civilization scales appear to have been
in use Weights and measures in the
more modern sense, are attributed to
Pheidon, tyrant of Argos, 895e B. G.

c0NcEIT A MASCULINE TRAIT
Woman Writer So Asserts, and Says
II Usually Crops Out After
His Marriage.

All feminine creatures, from the
cradle to the grave, proceed on the
basis that all men are conceited. This
Is perhaps particularly true of the
man who is no longer lover, but hus-
band. AS lover he had wide streak
of humility In his composition; hus-
band mostly regards humility as a
waste product, writes Woman of
Forty in Harper's.
More than once / have seen some
dull woman f1attering my husband, and
have had him tell me afterward what
fine, keen, warm-hearted little per-
son she Is. / have yet to meet the man
who fails to feel that the woman who
admires him has something sound and
right about her. More than once
have fattered man just to see him
expand
Indeed, it is a stupid or inexperi-
enced woman who has not done this,
and usually because she wanted to get
SC -. ing out of him. In his dealing
with woman 1t is quite easy to sell
man a gold brick. Doubtless, the
well-known law of compensation
works here; If men get plenty of self
satisfaction out of their self-c0nd-
dence, 1t Is something for which they
have to pay the piper.
A woman of my age knows that a
certain amount of self-satisfaction has
been necessary to keep the race going,
and that the self-satisfed type that
appreciates itself most highly has been
the most successful type. The trait
has been very valuable to the race, at
any rate in the rough-and-tumble con-
ditions through which men have lived
and struggled in evolving from the
days of Pithecanthropus.
Women have done their bit in simu-
lating this quality of conceit and self
satisfaction because they Ike success
full men and have married them when
they had the chance-which is the
same thing as saying that they have
married conceited men and bred con-
ceited boys, whose conceit they fos-
tered by praise.

Strength in Tiny EodIes.

Probably the most wonderful feature
of mosquito Is its muscularity, writes
L. e. Eubanks in Our Dumb Animals.
This may seem ludicrous statement,
but great surprise awaits anyone
who for the first time examines one OF
these insects under glass. Size for
size, a mosquitoes wing muscles are
equal to an eagles. Even on calm
day, a mosquito can fly forty or fifty
miles without a halt; and with help
ing wind three times this distance
The ordinary house fly. too, has aston
ishing wing strength, tests have
shown that when it desires really to
hurry 1t can dash $50 feet in a
second-110 miles an hour straight
away.

DRAWBACK TO HIGH POSITION
PLANT of Wife of Famous Statesman
Was That She Was Deprived
OF His Company.

Mrs. Gladstone, wife of William e.
Gladstone, prime minister of late-Yic-
torian days, was, in addition to being
an unusually fne-looking woman
always spoken of as '.the handsome
Miss Glynne"-the very essence of
tact and diplomacy, the typical wife
of a statesman, who never said too
much and always enough, and who
guided her distinguished husband with
just the right proportion of firmness
and gentleness.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone were mar
: ried happily for more than half a cen
fury, and at their golden wedding Mr..
Gladstone paid fitting tribute to her
success SIS wife.
s'W0rds fail me-" he said, sin ex-
pressing the debt / owe my wife in
relation to all the offices she has
discharged during the long and happy
period of our conjugal union
The one drawback to Mrs. Glad
stones complete happiness during her
marriage was the enforced frequent
absence of her husband. She used to
tell her friends that when Mr.. Glad
stone was in Office and in London dur
ing the season she considered it a
great treat to be invited to friends
house to dinner with him. If possi-
bic, she would sit next him at dinner.
Then" she said, ruefully, sit is at
least possible for me to have some
conversation with my husband. 9th
erwise I see nothing of him.

spring Shrubs blooming in Fall.


The fall blooming of trees and
shrubs which ordinarily bloom only in
the spring, Is not an uncommon oc-
currence. However, it is only after
rather unusual growing seasonal con-
ditions that much of 1t is noted. It
is most apt to occur after dry sum-
mer followed by fall rains and favor.

TENDER and October, or perhaps after
trees have been defoliated early in
the season by insects or disease at

In the late summer or early fall.
Usually It weakens the trees or shrubs
somewhat, and they do not produce
quite so much bloom the following

GENESEE GARAGES
ARE BURGLARIzED
TWO SAFES ARE BLOWN AN CASH
SECURED-NOT WORK OF
NOVICES

Two of Genesee's garages were burg
2arized sometime Sunday night, ac-
-cording to word received here this
morning. The burglars gained access
to the Ford garage by breaking in
the rear door. They found the COM
bination on the safe open, but the in
ner door locked. Holes were drilled
in the door and it was blown open
About $3.50 in cash was secured.
At the Meyer & Son garage entrance
was gained through the rear and about
$29 in change secured The burglar
les were not detected until this morn
ing.
Sheriff John L. Woody and Deputy
Sheriff Charles Summerfield, were
called to Genesee early Monday morn
dng and found that entrance to both
safes had been gained by drilling
through the inside doors and insert
dng charge of explosive, which blew
the doors of.
Sheriff Woody expressed the opin-
ion that the work was done by ex-
perts, as no novice would have been
able to open the safes in the way they
had been opened. There are a num-
Der of clews and it is believed that
there will be little trouble expert
enced in capturing the burglars
Sheriffs and police officers in the
surrounding district have been mott
fled to be on the lookout for suspic-
lous parties.

ORGANIZATION IS
AID TO GRAIN PRICE
CLAIM IDAHO GROWERS ASSOCI-
ALTON HAS ADDED 10 CENTS
BUSHEL TO PROFIT

Lewiston-That the Idaho Whea,
Growers and Warehousing association
has during the last year added 10
cents a bushel to the price of wheat
for the farmers was statement made
by Walter J. Robinson, manager, at
the annual meeting of the organ1za-
tion held here Saturday. He also stat
ed that the standing of the associa-
tion with the brokers, public and farm
ers was excellent.
Indications are, said Mr.. Robinson,
that the northwest will harvest only
about IS per cent of full grain crop
this year, the best prospects being in
Garfield county, Washington. This he
attributed in the Palouse country to
the bad winter, in the Big Bend section
to lack of rain and in the Lewiston
region to recent heat
Officers reelected today were: H.
y. Herman, Genesee, president; e. G..
Fry, Ferdinand, vice president; w. j.
Robinson, manager, and A. G. Adams,
secretary
H. J. Herman, Genesee; w. Q. Tay-
lor, Troy; r. r. Flarharty, Culdesac;
N. H. Jacobs, Nez Perce; E. G. Fry,
Ferdinand; Anton Jansen, Green
Creek, and A. N. Rognstad, Kendrick,
were reelected to the board of direct
ors.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that connections have been made for
European selling which will make pos
SibIe more efficient marketing than
last year. The association, which was
organized in 1920, includes 5000 grow
ers in Washington and $500 in Idaho,
1900 of which are in northern Idaho
and in the unit represented by those
attending Saturdays meeting. The
annual meeting of the Washington
unit will be held in Spokane Monday.
Saturday evening was held the an
nual meeting of the North Idaho Grow
ers Warehousing corporation, subsid-
larry to the Idaho Wheat Growers and
warehousing association. H. j. Her
man, Genesee; NJ H. Jacobs, Nez
Perce; L. P. Teats, Reubens; w. @.
Taylor, Troy, and A. N. Rognstad,
Kendrick, were named on the board of
trustees. Teats and Rognstad being
new members H. J. Herman was
elected president, l.. P. TeaJs, vice
president, and w. O. Taylor, secre-
tary-treasurer.
Last year the Spokane office hand
led 100000 bushels of wheat from
eastern Washington and Northern
Idaho. For the present year, about
15.OOO,OOO bushels have been signed
up in the entire territory, north and
south.
This association is a unit of the
Northwest Wheat Growers associa-
tion. comprising the northwestern
states, and is not affiliated with any
national movement BY means Of this
organization, the grain goes directly
from the far INTO the consumer, elm
mating all profit and many expenses.
1t takes care of the wheat from the
time that it reaches the warehouse
The sales are distributed through the
year and the aim is to get the average
market price trough the year realized
by the farmer.

HIGHLY COMMENDED

For the first time in the history OF
highway building in the state, a fed
eral inspector has completed a survey
of the system without reporting any
adverse criticism of the condition of

preparation this money to be avail
able after July 1, whenever matched
by a like amount of state funds The
roads on which this money will be
spent have not yet tbeen determined,
