paper was started in 1911 by John
F. Yost, now mechanical superinten-
dent in the office, and aside from
holidays has not missed an issue in
II years. Twelve years ago it was
looked upon by many as a doubtful
move to establish daily newspaper
in town of Moscows size. The
little daily had its struggles, as most
newspapers do. but rs the wears
passed it became more firmly in
trenched and today it is very much
part of the community, the only
daily newspaper published between
Spokane and Lewiston, and the only
daily in what is known as the Pa

FARMERS PAY OFF LOANS

If there were only some way of really getting the ear of those poli- ticians who are popularly supposed Io have that member to the ground, it might be profitable to tell them that the case of farmers is not so desperate as they have persuaded themselves to believe. To be sure, the plight of the wheat farmer is a good subject for po- litical conversation, even though the farmer himself doesn't realize that he is as bad off as the politician says he is. But then where there is not fact, fiction is most affable and obliging handmaiden, perfectly willing to serve in pinch.
 There are some facts, however, that should not be overlooked. For ex- ample, while grain dealer of Omaha tells interstate commerce commission CTS that prohibition is costing the far mer fifty cents a bushel loss on his corn, leading banker of the same city informs the same commissioners that CilC Idi illSlo Ol IildC StdIS dIC we'll off, and that his company, which deals largely in farm loans, finds that such loans are being paid off. This bears out the contention that, where the farmers have lost sixty million dol lars through the decline in wheat, they have gained five times as much through the increase in the price of corn. Nebraska is corn, as well as a wheat, growing state. Besides, that sixty million dollar loss in wheat is to some extent only a book loss, for the farmers have not sold all their wheat, the price is going up, and already part of the loss has been wiped out. This is hard on the politicians, but it is gratifying to those who believe in the fundamental soundness of our condi- tions.

PRINCE COMES OFF HIS PERCH

At his own request, Prince Kunihisa Kuni, of the Japanese royal family, has been officially retired from im- perial rank. In this the prince reveals himself man of sense. He has made no sacrifice of intrinsic value, and has gained for himself freedom of thought and action that gives him a net gain in the transaction. Poets may sing of the empty pomp of state, but only he who voluntarily renounces it can give reliable assurance of the sincerity of his belief in it's emptiness.
 The prince, as a soldier in the Jap anese army, has been subjected to democratizing influences. Evidently he has surrendered to them, because he has found life more worth living when there are no traditions and no conventions of rank to sustain. The human being is normally gregarious animal, and prince cannot easily be gregarious, for the ranks of his own kind are becoming too thin to allow him the selective choice necessary to forming real friendships. It may be that, in his herding with his fellows, the prince has found some lady of his heart whom the rules of royalty would not permit him to wed, but who is in every other respect but that of rank worthy. Naturally, if only rank is the barrier, no situation should more cer- tainly reveal the tenuous and artificial nature of rank. Although no longer a royal prince, Kunihisa can still be a prince of a good fellow, regular fellow, esteemed for, his own personal qualities rather shan given. artificial obeisance> because of the fortune of his ancestors in becoming emperors. If royalty must go, let it go the way of Kunihisa.

----------------r STILL NO ALLIED BREAK

As usual, the expected break be- tween England and France did not ma terialize. That tense situations should arise under the prevailing uncertainty and unrest is not to be wondered at. The results of an actual split between England and France, however, would be far more disastrous than for either of them to sacrifice some cherished program, or policy, or purpose. Hence, when negotiations reach an impasse there is always yielding on one side or the other, usually on both sides. It has been so with respect to the return of the former crown prince to Ger many, which, for all the world knows about it, may have been engineered for the deliberate purpose of causing trouble, not in Germany, but outside. If so, the ruse has failed, and the case of the ex-prince will be settled ami cably as, in the final event, all such cases have been settled.
 One of the questions at issue now is the right of the Allies to assume mili- tary regulation in Germany when such course is warranted by unusual con- ditions. Germany will probably op- pose the principle, but if the powers agree to enforce it, they will. This question would not now be raised had the Allies pushed their victory to it's logical conclusion at the time of the armistice. Had they then assumed

TICKLIsH MOMENTS
By Thomas L. Masson

One of the most embarrassing moments I ever had was along about midnight in a hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas. l was one or six playing poker. The man at my right was jeweler from New York. The man opposite was a wild Westerner. I had been out riding with him that afternoon, and he had cut off several daisies with a revolver. It was. only twenty-five cent limit, but was scared stiff for fear I would lose my small wad, and playing close. It seemed that the rule was when a jack pot was opened, if you had jacks or better you had to open anyway. But I didn't know this. The jeweler dealt and had pair of jacks and passed. The pot was opened by the man on my left with kings. The Westerner had pair of hines. I drew one card, hold ing up two for 8 bluff and got am other jack. The. Westerner filled his hines, having three. We raised back and forth several times, un- til finally I called him. He laid down his three hines and l matched them with my three jacks. As f turned them up 1t didn't seem to me more than the hundredth part of a second before he had his gun right on my nose. You can't pull New York stuff like that here" he snarled. You held a pair of openers and passed" The jeweler saved me. He pulled out his business card, showing the name of well-known New York firm. Here is where I hang out" he said, "and I assure you that in New York we have no such rule. want to. My friend here"-turn- ing to me-"didn't understand your rule, am sure" Being a natural born coward. was glad to split the pot with the gunman and call 1t square. I never played cards with strangers after that.
 Again, I was once called upon to make an impromptu speech at dinner and by the merest accident happened to hit it off. Directly in front of me was a very venerable looking man with a white beard, Two weeks later I was invited to speak again in a nearby town and, as this speech had gone so we'll, dismissed the whole matter and determined to repeat it. Just before l got up somebody brushed my arm, I looked around and there was this same venerable stranger. He said; T heard you the other night in town, sir, and was so much impressed that have come to hear you again."

AROUSED TO THEIR DUTY

Arrests on the Gulf coast in connec- ton with liquor seizures, and the wholesale exposure of organized and systematic distribution of illicit bever- ages, have acted with tonic effect upon law-enforcing agencies all over the state. Evidently better enforce ment has all along been we'll within the ability of law agencies, otherwise, even under the stimulus of federal example, they would not now be per- forming such prodigies of arrest and /seizure. / This lends emphasis to the theory that liquor violations are easily pos sible solely because those who have sworn and are paid to enforce the laws compromise with their duty, and give way to what they wrongly imagine to be public sentiment on this issue. Public sentiment may in some places be unfavorable to the prohibition statutes, but it is unbelievable that majority public sentiment anywhere would be in favor of deliberate dere- fiction in duty on the part of those agencies established for the purpose of enforcing the laws. Such senti. ment would mean the eventual under- mining of our institutions, and the American people are not inclined in that direction.
 There has been much skillful propa- ganda disseminated, which has made the case for law violation much stronger than it really is. A deter mined and sincere effort to enforce the laws fully and impartially would win sympathetic public support. It is well for the enforcement authorities to call upon the public for co-opera- tion, but there must first be a pro- gram with which the public may CO., operate. It is absurd to seek public corporation in matter in which those officially pledged to act are neglectful of their duty.

THE RURAL SCHOOL
1Florida Times Union)

The rural school has supplied the country with another presi- dent. Calvin Coolidge was born and reared on New, England farm and began his educatiop in small country school. It was prop ably there that the ambition 10 become a leader and to accomplish something worth while was born in hip. The early years are the mast important, and for this req son parents and educators should be most careful about the early training. It has been the general conception that almost any kind of d teaeheV would do for the first few grades in the rural school, and that the later the country child could be sent into town to com plete his training. This is the wrong idea. It is the foundation that counts most in the erection of a building and in the building of character.
 Co The rural schools have had a poor chance in this country, but in spite of the serious handicaps they haveA furnished some of the best thinkers and some of the finest leaders the country has had. Country teachers are usually poorly paid, and for this reason the best teachers do not go into the country districts. There are a few really capable men and wo- men who are filled with the mis- sionary spirit and who realize that the influence of the rural teacher is even more far-reaching than that of the teacher in town. It is this type of teacher that in- spires country boys and girls to overcome the obstacles in their way and to acquire an education.
 As rule, every effort Is made to build and equip comfortable, school houses in town and city, and no effort is spared to employ well trained teachers, but the ru- ral school is sadly neglected in al- most every section of the country. Some of the best people in Amer ica live on the farms and in the rural districts. and their children are entitled to the best. Besides, the country is sorely in need of just the kind of leaders that these country districts will supply if they have the proper opportuni- ties. The problem of the rural school Is one that should appeal not only to the people who live in the country, but to all who are dependent upon the farms and to all those who have the best inter- ests of the country at heart.

PROBABLY WAS THE CLIMATE

Recent discovery of fossil remains of very early type of man in Cali fornia indicates that even in that an- tedil1vian period travellers from afar were intrigued by the fame of that highly-praised climate. The skull for nation of these primitive men reveals a low, receding forehead and a pro- jecting under jaw, of the sort called undershot or preparations by scien- tists. Two theories regarding this skull structure at once suggest them selves. The first and most natural IS that the California climate so acted upon the descendants of this early race as to refine their features and elevate their brows. The other theory is that the skulls belonged to the off spring of race that originally was of more normal type, but that genera tions of talking about the climate gradually caused a compensatlng en- largement and protrusion of the ln- ferfor maxillary, not only as a result of extraordinary use of that interest," ing member, but also perhaps because of the habit of thrusting out the lower jaw in belligerent challenge to the nearer to dare to doubt any statement just made about the climate. The loy- atty of the Californian to his climate is too pronounced and deep-seated to be regarded or classified as being of any modern or upstart origin. It IS indipanous

WHAT BOOKS TO READ?

Inasmuch as this IS educatlon week. there are those willing to tell how 1t nav profitably be spent by those seek ing self-improvement. While all the knowledge and culture in the world could hardly be attained in week, or. even in two weeks, yet as an inspi- ration it should lead in the right direc- tion. So Mir. John D. Wolcott, libra rian of the United States bureau of education, submits list of books for the winter reading of those who de- sire to employ their leisure hours to some advantage. The list comprises s.Ivanhoe," "Les Miserables," "Macau- laws Essays" American Common wealth." Robinson Crusoe," "Pil- grim's Progress" "Tom Sawyer David Copperfield," "Emerson's Essays" and Scarlet Letter"
 Now of course these are all good books, with the possible exception of Scarlet Letter." which seems strange ly to have escaped the scrutiny of the censors, but even at the best they seem to be designed more for pleasure, if one excepts the essays and Com monwealth, than for profitable addi- tion to our knowledge. Why is 1t that so many regard both recreation and profitable reading as confined to the realm of pure literature? Why is there no emphasis laid upon the pleasure, literary profit and educational value of the various popular science series, which vet are founded upon the right scientific principles? Wells Outline of History may be long, but 1t is worth reading. The Outline of Science series is a complete, readable and u1s- derstandable exposition of such realms of research as are practically closed book to the average person, unless possessed of formal education. There are books on the theory of evolution that present this subject in such a manner as to clarify the very common misconception as to this subject, and it's deep human meaning. There are books on applied chemistry, such as the Creative Chemistry" of E. E. Slosson, which are revelation to the average person as to the relation of this field to our daily lives. This is of especial interest to residents of the Birmingham district, because it deals with one of our leading industries.
 There are books on biology, on na- ture, on radio, on the new atomic and molecular theories, and on scores of subjects that are for the first time being presented in a manner to be enjoyed and understood by all who care to improve their minds. This is to say nothing of philosophies, poetry, drama, biography, the fine arts, and the like, which are likewise calculated to make popular appeal, if given the opportunity. All these things may be found in the public library or in the various bookstores, or failing that, in the book catalogues. If one wants to improve ones mind, there is a wealth of opportunity to do so.

Want Doors. Unbnrred
(Brandon. Times)

Di dliQOtl 4tlnGSJ
 The chief of police and the state law enforcement officers have asked repeatedly that some action be taken to remove the barred doors and other barriers which are found in many of the places which habitually sell liquor. The city commissioners have power to re- fuse license to places with such barriers or te revoke licenses where they fail to remove them. A man or concern doing a legiti- mate business does not need such fixtures. If the business is not legitimate the city does not need 1t. If the city commission means business they now have an op- portunity to render real service to the community.
