to climate and other conditions. The
first ring about the core is formed dur.
ing the first year of the trees life.
The second ring encircling the first
grows in the following year, and 50 on.
This process has been kept up for
more than 5000 years in some Of the
giant redwoods of California. The
rings are distinctly marked, because
the growth Is different in spring and
summer from what it Is In the rest Of
the year. There is a difference in the
cell growths Of the fall which makes
dark color In the ring. so that each
years growth is clearly written on
the cross-section of the tree.
The application of the study of an
nual tree rings to history and ar.
theology lies in the fact that ancient
beams, rafters and furniture will all
show the varying tree ring patterns Of
the trees from which they were cut
If trees enough are found to trace the
annual variations back several hun
dred or q few thousand years, stand
ard Of comparison would exist which
would enable the expert to match an
ancient beam or piece of furniture
with the ring-pattern of its period,
thus fixing the age almost exactly.

A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR

Grangeville will have a distinguish
ed visitor Saturday and perhaps Sun
day when Senator William e. Boral
comes to speak in Odd Fellows audi.
torium, Saturday night.
There is no more widely known
man In the United States than Sem
ator Borah, who has heralded the
name of Idaho far and wide. De
termined in his position on public
questions, unyielding In his attitude
toward the great topics Of the day,
firm in what he believes to be right
and proper, and an eloquent orator,
Senator Borah occupies a position Of
weight in the affairs of America and
the world
While many differ with the sena-
tor on matters with which he has
dealt in his usual frankness, in pub
lie addresses, even those who do not
cherish a kindly feeling toward Ida
hos senior senator, will not lose
sight of the fact that he stands out
among public men as one of the lead
ers.
When Senator Borah speaks, Sat
urday. night, on "How to Find Mar
kets for the Products of the Ameri-
can Farmer" he will bring a mes
sage that will be well worth hearing,
and he will be greeted by an audi
ence of no mean proportion.

This unrest is largely due to econ
Omic grievances. They eventually
will be equitably adjusted, but in
the adjustment it is the plain duty
! Of each individual affected to help
himself. Fuming and fussing will do
no good, when the antidote for a
troubled condition is return to SIM
pier living, in the plain, old-fashioned
way, rather than to attempt to rev.
OlutioniZe the world.
When discomfort is encountered it
often is kindled by inflammatory dis
plays, deliberate attacks on our es-
tablished institutions, pictured as
bulwarks that throttle the individual
in the scheme of life. They mislead
the thoughtless, to the end that their
confidence in the American political
and economic system is shaken. But
instead of being led by reformists
down the golden avenues of a prom
ised Utopia, "a culdesac is met, and
4 turning of the way becomes neces-
sary, for here there can be no pro-
gress-no forward step.
The business Of the day, it would |
seem, then, is not to seek to demon
llize those who weary of the strug-
gle, those who are pessimistic, and
who lack courage and hope, but on
The other hand should consist Of a

The practice of the federal prohibi-
ton authorities In New York city of
closing for any and all purposes the
establishments that violate the law
will be carried out here within few
days, 1t was learned in the district at
torney's Office.
This means that most rigid pad

make Washington dry. Heretofore the
paddock" injunctions have served to
prevent only the sale of liquor In this
or that establishment and did not
close cafe or saloon altogether, as
has been done in New York.
Hereafter, 1t was stated, the injunc-
lions Will be obtained In the District
Supreme court for the purpose Of &C
tually sealing up and locking the

serving liquor. This means that a
place so 'padlocked" cannot be used
for any purpose whatsoever for one
year. Washington landlords will be
the losers and so will the person ac-

ton closing up place altogether will
virtually mean that the offender will

MORALE

During the war we heard much OF
the word, morale" We were i'm.
pressed with the necessity of main.
tanning high morale in the fighting
forces, and In preserving the morale
of the people at home. A proper
mental state of the men on the firing
line and of the non-combatant pub
lie, as well, was deemed essential
that the war might be won.
1t was realized that If the spirit Of
the American people was crushed, if
they lost hope in the ultimate success
of the war, if they failed to retain
confidence in Americas justification
for entering the war, the military op-
erations Of the United States would
collapse, like a house built Of cards.
If the American people, in the stir

faith in their government, a dishev-
eled condition would have resulted
that would have rocked the common
wealth to its very foundation.
Even as in time of war, it is i'm
portant to preserve the public NOR
ale in days of peace. 1t appears,
however, that in many instances, we
have quite forgotten the value Of pre-
serving this much talked-of morale.
There is abreast in the land, and Ida
no is no exception, a feeling of great |
unrest This condition exists In the
cities and on the farms, in the noun
tains Of the west in the Mississippi
