supposing It Had. Raired.

The government local weather
station tells us that we've had
an average of II IL inches OF
rainfall, or precipitation, dur
inc the first half of the year
for the past ten years, until this
one. This wear the amount has
been ouly half that, and it is
little wonder that the wheat
crop here is shorter than usual ;
but not a failure by LONG odds
Frank johnson and sons, a
group of the prairie's most ex-
tensive growers of this popular
cereal, operating southeast of
town, started their big combine
on fall wheat at noon last Mon
day, and when asked as to the
yield, he stated it was better
than expected and would run
about 40 bushels to the acre. Mr..
johnson began delivering his
crop to the Rochdale warehouse
in this city today, and has the
distinction of being the first to
make delivery of this years
crop to the local market.
While many fields will fall
short Of this, the yield is not SO
low as folks figured it would be
a few weeks ago, and the quail
ity is above the average.

Especial mention should be
made Of the pitching of John

walked one man, and allowed
four hits. Nine men went out
by the strike-out route the first

BJORKLUND LEADS LYNN
BY ONLY ONE VOTE
Mitchell Beats Paige By A.
Close Primary Election Re-
suits Show Interest In
Sheriff's Race.

The official count will be re-
quired to determine whether
George | Lynn or Arthur Bjork-
lund will be the Republican can
didate for sheriff of Lewis
county. The complete unofficial
returns give the latter the best
of it by one vote.
Bjorklund's show of strength
seemed to be a surprise to most
of the political guessers of the
county, and it was thought the
real race would be between Lynn
and Smith, the present incum-
bent, and Bjorklund was classed
more as dark horse, but with
his home backing he proved a
winner it now appears.
In the race for the Democratic
nomination Tor sheriff another
neck and neck affair the com
plete returns give Alva W.
Mitchell lead over Manford
II. Paige his only opponent, of
"A, and his nomination is con-
ceded.
The only other counts in the
primary in this county was for
the Democratic nomination for
treasurer. At the eleventh hour
their friends brought Mrs. Eek
ersley of Winchester and Frank
j. Eggleston of Kamiah into the
race for this prize as "sticker
candidates. The unofficial re-
turns available give the former
a lead of so, the totals being lS0
for Mrs. Eckersley and l3O for
Mr. Eggleston.

4 RECOMMENDATION
Salida. Colo,
January II, 1922

Salida, Colo,
january Il, 1922.
To whom it may coucem:-
It affords me great pleasure to
offer 4 testimonial Of recommendation
to DR.. Grace Taylor, who has been
for several years a practitioner of
Chiropractic in this city.
Every member Of my family has
received her treatment We have
great confidence in DIR. Taylor's abili-
ty as n Chiropractor, and have been
enthusiastic believers in the reason
ableness and efficacy of this science.
Furthermore, wc have found that
DR.. Taylor possesses that rare gift
and charm Of personality, the express
sion of which every patient Graves
under treatmeut-where a warm and
genuine sympathy combines with ed
ucation, culture, scientific training,
and the splendid skill achieved in
long practice which effectually re-
builds health. She is the friend of
her patient-and the patient is her
friend. Although overwhelmed and
driven to the limit of her time and
strength by the great practice she
has built up, and so well deserved.
she was never in too great a hurry
to explain a matter, anwer question
or impart helpful advice. In her
philosophy, it was easy to believe that
she would rather help one know how
to keep good health for humanity's
sake than to derive the gain of
self-interests for the curing of in
valids-as the daughters put it: "a
real woman" any best friend"
We bespeak for her, on the ressmp-
ton of practice, wheresoever, the
same large measure of esteem and
success that were hers in this COM
munity.
