What better vacation ground, from
all points of view, is offered than the
mountains of Idaho county? Vacation
lists swarm to Yell6 Istone Nationa,
park, to Glacier park, in Montana. and
to the seashore, yet for genuine
"roughing it, in lofty mountains. re-
splendent with the most beautiful
scenery in the west, the Idaho county
interior country has no equal. True
enough, these mountains do not pos
sess all the freakish wonders of the
Yellowstone, and neither may they be
reached in Pullman car, but to the va
cationist who desires an outing far
removed from the dust and CRIME and
the torrid cities in country that is
left just as God made it, unmolested
by the hand of man, Idaho county
OheiS MANY opportunities.
Fishing and hunting are to be had
literally everywhere, and, as the va
cationist traYerses the roads or Wind
ing trails, new revelations in scenic
splendors are to be had at every turn
of the way.
Already, Idaho county has become
famous as a vacation ground to resi-
dents of northern Idaho and eastern
Washington, yet the number of va
cationists who annually come here to
inhale the invigorati ting mountain ozone
would be increased a thousand fold,
were adequate publicity given the mag
nificent surroundings with which ma
ture has endowed us.

THE DANCING CRAZE

OF all the foolish crazes to which
civilization has from time to time be-
come addicted, the present long
distance dancing craze rings. the bell.
Starting in England, on February 10,
when a young couple danced for seven
hours without stopping, the endurance
mania rapidly spread to the United
States, and one record for endurance is
no more made until it is broken. The
latest record, made by man in Ohio,
is 132 hours
From a comparatively insignificant
beginning, this idiotic idea has devel-
oped to point where it appears that
lunacy is the only term which may
be used to characterize the hundreds
of persons who have become imbued
with the dancing mania.
In the barbarous Indian war dance,
the redskin dances and dances until
he drops from sheer exhaustion. In
our modern civilization, men and wo-
men dance, and dance until they drop
to the floor in crumpled heaps.
The next step in the dancing craze
may be expected to take the form of the
Indian snake dance, wherein a
huge RATHER is held in each
hand, while another venomOus
reptile is grasped between the
teeth, and then the dance begins. The
enviable record would, of course, be
established by the dancer who could
endure the longest without being bitten
by one of the poisonous snakes. This
would be the acme of tripping on the
light fantastic toe-twentieth century
if you please.

THE OLD-TIIE PROsPECTOR

A few days ago, there drifted into
Grangeville a lone prospector, leading
two burros, laden with supplies and
mining equipment. Whence came the
prospector and his burros, is not
known, but he was enroute to the
mountains, in quest of the precious
yellow metal for which Idaho county
has become noted.
This prospector was the first OF his
kind to reach Grangeville in many
months. Typical is he of the hundreds
and thousands who once flocked to the
mountains of Idaho county. His ap-
pearance may augur a return of many
of his carefree kind, for the mining
season is really not begun.
The early prospector constitutes a
picturesque type of westerner. 1t was
he who followed the initial explorers
into the western country, and who paw
ed the way for the opening of the west
to settlement in later years. On the
heels of the prospector came the farm
err. the merchant and the professional
man, and thus were laid the foundation
stones of civilization in the west.

BETTER DAYS AHEAD

Fortune seems to be smiling on Idaho
county, for indications point to one Of
the largest wheat crops in the history
of Camas Prairie. In quite sharp con-
trast to agricultural conditions in the
last few years, the present season is
pronounced by farmers as most favor
able to the growing of wheat, and
all crops are in splendid condition.
Up to about five years ago good crops
only were known on Camas Prairie,
and indications are that climatic con-
ditions this year are such that not
only a normal, but bumper crop is
assured
Of course much depends on the
weather for the next two months and
an adequate amount of rainfall to as
sure proper growth of the vast areas
of splendid wheat that cover Camas
Prairie. =
1t is refreshing, indeed, to note the
optimistic spirit that prevails at the
present time among the renchers OF
the prairie, who are beginning to see
in the near future prosperity of such
nature as has characterized Idaho
county up to the time of the late finan-
cial depression.
A good crop, next fall, will work mir

Saving The Babies

Citizens who live in communities
apathetic 10 their infant death rate
should consider carefully the results
of the cooperative rural health work
now being carried on in Green county,
Missouri. A report just received by
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice at Washington shows remarka-
Bile reduction in the infant mortality
rate in Springfield and Campbell
townships since the establishment
there Of a whole-time county health
department.
In 1918 the death rate in these two
Missouri townships was l05 per
thousand. That is, out of every 1000
babies born alive, l05 died in that
year Then Green county decided it
could no longer afford to continue IN
mindful of its baby death rate and a
health department was organized.
In the following year 1919, the in
FAINT death rate in these two town
ships dropped 10 SO per thousand. In
1920 il went 10 So, in 1921 to 70, and
in 1922 the decline reached 81. In
other words Springfield and Campbell
townships reduced their infant NOR
tally rate AZ per cent within the
short space of four years.
This forty-two per cent reduction
furnishes a striking example Of what
may be accomplished in infant vel
fare by carrying out, with economy
and efficiency, 2 well balanced general

IRISH COOPERATORS
BECOME SHIPPERS;
BIG CELEBRATION

Far off in the north of Ireland,
where the bones of the earth stick
through its starved skin every few
yards and only the hardest of sould
can find a living, great celebration
took place a few weeks ago, the news
of which reached all the way across
the Atlantic TO the All American CO.
operative Commission. Into the little
inlet where the village of Dungloe
lies, cut off as it is by three miles
from the nearest railway, there sailed
steamer. Great crowds from about
the countryside gathered for the
event, for it was the first time a
vessel larger than a fisherman's
smack had ever come to port.
The arrival of that sturdy freight
boat brought greater rejoicing from
the villagers of Dungloe than ever
greeted any proud Vikino vessel or
luxurious ocean liner carrying a
thousand pleasure seekers to Europe.
For almost every one of the villagers
cheering on the banks Of the little
Irish inlet, was part owner of the
cargo steamer. IT WAS A CO.
OPERATIVE BOAT, bought and
managed by the enterprising Temple
crone Cooperative Society, to which
everybody belongs. So great had been
the success of the Templecrone CO.
operative that it soon outgrew the
facilities of the little fishermen's YES
sells plying between Ireland and the
English coast. With stout hearts and
great enthusiasm the cooperators de-
cided to go into the shipping business
for themselves. They acquired car
go steamer-the largest one that
many of them had ever seen-and
started it on its way to Liverpool,
England, TO carry to English coopera-
tors the products of Irish cooperative
farms and fresides and TO bring back
TO County Donegal goods from CO.
operative English factories. Already,
after but few weeks of service, the
little steamer is as important a part
Of the village life of DunglOe as the
cooperative store itself.
The Templecrone Cooperative So
ciety was organized in 1906 with Ia
members and a share capital of about
twenty-five dollars. Ii has fought its
way to a place in the sun through
a Jungle of truck, gombeen, usury
and tied trade" SO that in 1922 the
many branches of its activities in
hosiery factory, in the agricultural
business and the sale of eggs and
domestic requirements amounted in
all to $4,000.
The story of cooperation is packed
full of just such tales of devotion,
vision, and enthusiasm as the triumph
of the Dungloe cooperators. On the
bleakest coasts, in obscure hamlets,
you will find cooperative societies liy-
ing and working out a new theory Of
community living--a community or
ganized for mutual aid and not for
individual gain. These humble places
are teaching more favored communi-
ties the first law of human happi-
ness.

UgION FOES PLAN TO SHAPE
PUBLIC OPINION BY CHANGING
Definition OF open SHOP"
By International Labor News Service.

stalled the unions have the night TO
make laws restricting the extent 10
which employers shall be or shall not
be eliminated. For that reason MORE
automatic machinery is in operation
IN open printing plants in Chicago
and elsewhere than in so-ealled
closed printing shops.
An open shop Is one in which the
employees may enter into the spirit OF
the enterprise IN which they are
partners with their employers. Ii
the employees see MT they may work
extra hard or speedily in order to
complete some specific task and be
rewarded according 10 their agree
ments with their respective employ
ers. In CLOSED" shops, the output
OF employees is restricted by the I'M
ions and members of the union guilty
OF producing more than what the
union Supulates are penalized.
Let JUS examine the definitions con-
tanned in one of your celebrated die
tionares.
The word open" means Enclosed,
literally or tiguratively; not shut OF
closed; hence atfording access or free
accurately! the printing plants in Chi
cago, operated on the open shop"
plan. The shops are Enclosed;
their oppenness affords qGaiified per-
sons access to them. They also afford
the employers the freedom of dis
charging persons who are superfluous
or inefficient.
The word Closed we are told,
means brought together SO as TO
leave no opening" Another definition
is: strictly watched" That is what
CLOSED shops" are. All the EN-
ployes are brought together" in an
organization and they are strictly
watched" They have not the freedom
of movement or thought that persons
have in open shops"
Now for the conclusion: Since the
unions refer to shops in which their
CLOSED shops" the shops in which
those rules are not in operation may
properly be termed Enclosed" shops,
In other words, they are open
shops" If the closed shops are called
union" shops then the Open shops
may properly be called "non-union"
shops. However, II the employer OF
non-union help. wants to call his
shop an Open Shop, to indicate that
he ,is FREE from the dictation of
labor unions, who among you lexico-
graphers will say in your dictionaries
that he has not the right to use that
word. You tell us that usage governs
the meaning of words. Hence, you
makers-of- dictionaries, as faithful
scribes, will merely record that the
Open-Shop is one in which both en-
ployes and employers are FREE to
think and do-what the Constitution
of the United States permits them:
to enjoy life liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, without restrictions by
labor unions.
