BIG GAME-NoRMAL COMING.

The Lewiston Normal basket ball
team will play the town huskies ut
the High Schol gym to morrow, Fri
day night. Seems like this should be
"nuf sed," but just for fear some
of the information has been overlooked,
we want to state: This same Normal
crowd beat Charleston, Culdesac and
all the rest in their class. 1t sure
has been leading charmed life or
else playing some mighty strong bask-
ct ball, probably the latter. There is
a big puncture for its balloon waiting
for it in Nezperce, however. These
home town braves have the number
of those Ndrmalites; they've been
practicipg up for this very chance
and they are not going to let it get
away from them. 1t will cost about
four bits to witness this best basket
ball game of the year. If you haven't
got the four, borrow one, or break in,
or something. You just can't miss
this game and not ever after hate
yourself.
The play will start right after the
evening session of the county meeting
of school trustees, which will be held
in the school building.

NEzpnRcE FIRST IN CLUB WORK

In speaking of his boys and girls
club work this morning, H. A. Stone,
who has charge of the North Idaho
division, stated that the boys "Baby
Beef Club" which was recently or
ganized here and whose ten members
are now well under way with the
project, is the first to be organized
in the state, and the showing it is
making is attracting much attention
and interest in the department.
Today the boys brought their fine
young steers--all pure-bred--in for
weighing in'' preparatory to getting
down to the specified ration.
At meeting held by the club boys
and girls at the school house last night
program for the year was laid out,
and Rey Reinhardt will have charge
of the work as local leader. There
are 12 members in the pig club, a
good squad in the potato and corn
clubs, and 80 girls make up the sew
ing club, which is under the direction
OF Mrs. Roy Thompson. 1t is the plan
to hold general meeting at the school
house here on the last Wednesday
evening of each month. Supt. Rantz
announced at last night Is meeting that
all pupils completing any club project
would be given half credit in his
school grades. A club library of ap-
propriate farm literature is one Of
the extraordinary features the young
ladies and gentlemen are putting over.
Mr.. Stone stated that enrolment in
any of these clubs would close on May
18th and wishes all who would like
to take part to report on time.

AN& AVN &AAQ QAca
1t seems to be necessary for the
farmers to send missionaries to Lewis
ton to convert some business men over
to stand with us for price-fixing. OF
course there are few grain dealers
and their frienda / can't think of
any one else who would be effected
differently from us farmers. Their
position would be like that of the
saloon keeper under prohibition, but
some of them might get job. Any
way, we believe in majority rule; not
the rule of one per cent of the people.
We have learned that we do not al
ways get what we ask for. When
ever the farmers introduce bill it
seems that a whole flock of bills fol-
lows just in order to put the vital one
in the shade. There have been thous-
ands of letters addressed to Washing
ton endorsing the Norris-Sinclair bill.
In regard to ship subsidy, we farmers
can't understand why shipping can Z
be purchased abroad the same as any
other commodity. There are many acts
of congress that appear to us farmers
as class legislation. When our cong
ressmen vote for all such special priv
ileges as the Etch-Cummings shipping
bill they are surely not representing
us Why then should we send them
back to Washington When we 60 to

WHEAT GUARANTEE PROGRESS
ING.

The bill guaranteeing $l.75 whee.
has been favorably reported out of
the committe on agriculture TO the
lower house Of congress as well as the
senate. This Information comes
through message from Congressman
Addison u Smith last Friday to
Chairman Jansen of the farmers mass
meeting which was recently held at
Lewiston, where resolution was prac-
tscally unanimously passed urging
favorable action on the part of the
Idaho delegation in congress on the
wheat bill. A message was also re-
ceived by Mr. Jansen from Senator
Borah in which he reitriates his posi-
ton on the measure. Senator Borah
said:
"Will be glad to support the bill
and do everything can to get it
passed.
The message from Congressman
Smith reads:
"Bill stabilizing price of wheat has
been reported favorably from COM
mittee on agriculture in house, as
well as senate, and we are hopeful il
will be reached for consideration be-
fore congress closes on third of next
month, although calendars are very
much congested.

REMARKS ON SOCIAL RELA
FIoNs.

AS economies is the paramount issue
in the life of the majority of people,
it seems strange that SO many whose
interests are almost identical, living
in the same community, should differ
widely on given issue. I believe
that the main cause of difference is
misunderstanding.
Agriculture is the principal wealth
producer of our part of the state. Ev-
eryone understands that. The citizens
consist of two classes. We will say
for convenience, the men who work
the land as one class and all other eiti a
IONS who serve the community as mer-
chants, lawyers, ETC., the other class
The very nature of the occupation of
each of these classes develops them in
opposite directions The farmer is in
clined to be sensitive and suspicious
and seems indifferent wehreas the
business man is all interest. The busi-
ness man comes to look at the farmer
as bonehead, while the two if sound
ed would be found to be Of equal in
telligence, while the business man
would be the most ready on snap
question, he would find the farmer
had dug down nearer the core Of the
vital principles of things. One might
say that the farmer was the best in
formed in a passive way, while the
business man continually thinks and
acts in the present and don't seek
causes, he is much more susceptible
to propaganda and the spirit of the
hour.
If they would quit docking side
ways at each other and get shoulder
to shoulder they could each learn of
the other and theiE view points would

9. A Scout is thrifty. He does not
wantonly destroy property. He works
faithfully, wastes nothing, and makes
the best use of his opportunities.
| 10. A Scout is brave . He has the
courage to face danger in spite of
fear; defeat does not down him.
II. A Scout is clean. He keeps
clean in body and thought; stands for
clean speech, clean sport, clean hab-
its, and travels with clean crowd.
l2A A Scout is reverent. He is
reverent toward God. He is faithful
to his religious duties, and respects
the opinions of others in matters of
custom and religion.
The Scout slogan is "Do a Good
Turn Daily
The Scout motto: "Be Prepared. y
These points which cover every
thing in the way. of character, which
embrace everything that man should
be, and that most men want to be, are
the foundation of the Scout move
ment. All of the balance of the pro-
gram, the useful, practical require
ments which the boys must know, are
intended to instill into them these
fundamentals. Let US repeat that the
interesting way in which these re-
quirements are put before the boys
is the thing that has enabled Scout
ing to grow as it has.
Universities and colleges throughout
the United States are teaching Scout
ing along with their courses in en-
gineering, agriculture and all the
courses which they have to offer.
School authorities every place are
working in harmony with Scout Off
cials. They recognize that while they
teach the way to make living, Scout
ing teaches how to live.
The American Federation of La
Dor appointed committee to investi-
gate the work of the Scouts, and they
it. The Elks, Masons,
Knights of pythias, Knights of Col
umbus, have all done the same thing.
The fact that these organizations
have declared themselves favorably is
proof of Scouting's merit. "You can
fool some of the people ell of the |
time; all of the people some of the
time; but you can't fool all OF the
people all of the time.'' That is per.
fectly true. Scouting welcomes inves-
tigation, and invariably investigators
become its friends.

UNION REVIVAL IN FULL PROG
RESS.

Much interest has been aroused in
the revival meetings being conducted
under the auspices of the Church OF
the Brethren and the Community
church. Evangelist Graybill has
struck the right keynote. His great
messages are gripping the hearts of
the people, Hist kind of preaching
is a rare treat these days. Thirteen
have already decided for Christ while
quite number of others are thinking
seriously.
This is the result of sane preaching.
Those who seek sensation and to feed
on vicious attacks from the pulpit
come here in vain. This is not to say
that the evangelist is afraid to tackle
the problem of sin. No man could
point out its demoraizing power more
conyincingly than he is doing it. But
Mr.. Graybill avoids abuse of the sin
ner. His method is to draw, not to
frighten the sinner. In his case, the
respective pastbrs will mot need to
apologize for the mistakes of the
evangelist after he IS gone, as is so
often the case. The effect is whole
some throughout.
Sunday night the church was pack
ed, as was also the case on Tuesday
night, when Mr.. Graybill spoke to the
children, of whom q large number
was present. Be it said to their eter-
nal credit, the young folks comported
themselves admirably throughout. AT
the close of the service, number of
them accepted Christ.
Mr.. Graybill's topics for next Sun
day should awaken widespread inter
est. In the morning he will preach
On: ST Pray Thee Have Me Excus-
3D. The topic for the evening is
destined to pack the house to over
Flowing, the theme being: "Blind

GOOD MEETING ON SCHOOL CON-
s0LIDATIoN.

A good turnout OF those interested
in the school consolidation movement
was had at the meeting held in tn,
school auditorium last Saturday night
and j. G. Muerman of the u. s. Bur
eau of Education gave very salts
factory exhibit of the pro side of this
project with motion pictures AM
slides and explanatory remarks.
He cleared up several points in thi,
movement which is sweeping the
country, this effort for better educa
tional advantages for our rural popu.
Elation, and left this community in q
less uncertain frame of mind on
school consolidation.
The problem of transportation has
been one of the sticking points here,
and his pictures showing how the con-
ditions were successfully met at other
North Idaho points where consolida-
ton is reality, where the most OBJ
stinate road conditions were overcome
by the carrying of vans and the child
rem are daily delivered to their schools
in comparative comfort, made our
problem diminish materially.
We haven't space to give all the de-
tails this week, but hope to spread the
matter fairly before our readers in fol.
lowing issues. The following points
are among the best he made:
State reports show an enrolment of
more than 21,OOO,OOO children in the
public schools. More than 100000
are enrolled in the cities and incor-
porated towns and about 10e0gO00
in the schools of the open country
While the city and village schools
have about 100000 in average daily
attendance the country schools have
about 100000. The length of school
term in the cities is over nine months,
or 182 days, while the country schools
run less than seven months or 137
days in the year In the cities the
average number of days attended by
each pupil enrolled is l43 while in the
rural districts the average pupil at
tends only 90 days in the year. Is
this giving the country boy and girl
an equal chance with those in the
cityf
Compare the ons-room country
school house, poorly equipped and
comfortless, with the handsome school
building of the city with the best
equipment. Compare the poorly paid
country teacher trying to instruct
children in six or eight grades in one
room, with the well trained and fairly
paid teacher of the city instructing
4 class of one grade in one room.
Why are the country schools SO in
ferior to the city schoolss 1t is be-
cause the average country district is
lot rich enough to pay for good
,chool Most of the wealth is in the
titles and a low school tax escures
rood schols. In some states where /
he cities can maintain excellent
schools with tax of so cents on the
800 worth of property there are
districts unable to have good
chools by paying three or four times
his rate. The hope of our rural
chools is an increased state aid which
means a larger tax upon wealth for
he support of schools of the people.
Ill the children in the cities have the
anne school privileges whether their
arents are rich or poor, those who
ave wealth paying FOR the schooling {
f the children of those who pay no
axes. Should not this equality of op-
ortunity be extended to all the child.

Blockheads Go Quickly
By This Simple Method

Blackheads-big ones or little ones
soft ones or hard oncs-on any
part of the body. go quick by sim
pie method that just dissolves them.
To do this get about two ounces Of
calonite powder from your druggist
sprinkle little on hot. wet cloth
rub over the blackheads briskly for
few secondhand wash of. You'll
wonder where the blackheads have
gone. Pinching and squeezing black
heads only open the pores of the skin
and leave them large and unsightly-
while the simple application of calo-
mite powder and the water dissolve
them right out, leaving the skin soft,
and the pores in their natural condi-
ton.
