law, governing municipal cleo
tions, no second ticket will be

FIGURES DON'T LIE.

Cottonwood, for some time
has had the reputation on the
outside as being the best off
financially of any town in this
section Of the state and to prove
that this assertion is true we
only have to take the figures of
the various banks in this district
to conclusively show that the re-
putation we have on the outside
is not merely talk, but facts as
we'll.
Below we give the deposits of
the various banks according to
their recent call statement:
Ferdinand State Bank, $685.
921.21.
Bank of Ferdinand, $780,

Farmers State Bank, Nez-
perez, $126,884.13.
Clearwater Valley Bank
Kamiah, $96,503.30.
Craigmont State Bank, $124,'

$149,1S5.33.
COTTONWOOD STATE Banl

We publish these figures no
to be boastful but to show som,
of the pessimistic inclined which
we find in every community
that Cottonwood is not so ba'
off after all.

WILL PLANT 100 ACRES.

Ed. Nelson of the Denver sec
ton will plant 100 acres of corn
this spring on summer fallow
ground from which he expects to
receive fodder and corn that will
more than pay him for his time
and trouble. Mr.. Nelson will
plant the Yellow Dent variety,
and a seed that has been grown
On Camas Prairie by Dave Yates
of the Winona section. Mr..
Nelson will plant 900 pounds of
seed on the 100 acres. This no
doubt will be the largest single
crop of corn planted in one body
in the history of the county.
Mr.. Nelson also has 100 acres
of alfalfa and will plant 100
acres of field peas. Ed is a be-
lever in diversified farming, in
working his land and at the same
time building it up.

PLEASED WITH HOG.

VIM. K. Hamilton is stronger
for the big type Poland Chinas
than ever now. The bred gilt
of royal breeding which he
bought from John Funke of
Cottonwood last winter recently
gave birth to a litter of thirteen
pigs, twelve of which are still
on the top of the earth and get
ting bigger and better every day,
according to their owner. The
pigs were sired by Idaho Bob,
one of the best of the Funke
boars, and Bill is pretty happy
that he has so many of them
since their pedigree is about as
good as anything there is ir
these parts. He intends to have
them all registered. AS to sex
the litter lines up five males anc
seven females.-Kamiah Pro

Metaphor Not an Ornament.

A metaphor is the result of the
search for IA precise epithet. 1t is no
more ornamental than mans Chris
tian name. For most of the things
whose quality writer wishes to con-
vey there are no precise epithets, sim
ply because he is always engaged in
discovering their qualities, and, like
the chemist, has to invent names for
the elements he discovers. Moreover,
l suppose, three-quarters of the
epithets we have are old metaphors
Try to be precise, and you are bound
to be metaphorical; you simply cannot
help establishing atlinities between all
the provinces of the animate and in
animate world; for the volatile es-
sence you are trying to fix is quality,
and in that effort you will inevitably
find yourself ransacking heaven and
earth for a similitude. That Is the
simple truth which underlies the Aris-
totelian. dictum on the Importance of
metaphor; so long, moreover, as we
remember that metaphor is essential
to precision with which thought Is
expressed. then it is unnecessary and
to be sacrificed without compunction

lem of Style"

EASY TO POINT OUT MORAL
Present Generation Should Take Lsa-
son From ths Fate of the Pro-
historic HaiuchIstherium.

Behold the Ealuchistherium come
again into public notice after laying
down his wearied bones possibly two
or three millions of years ago
He was built, say the paleontolo-
gists who broke open his resting
place, after the general design Of the
modern rhinoceros. His skull was
five feet long, and from this you can
make fair guess as to his total size.
Mentally the Baluchis.herium was re-
dictionary. His skull was almost en-
tirely bone. The brain cavity was
hardly larger than cavity which
might have formed in one of his back
teeth. And because he carried con-
servatism to its farmost lengths he and
his kind persisted from the face of the
earth.
There came period in the career
of the genus when environment great
ly altered. The weather may have
grown colder or warmer. An arid ell
mate may have succeeded humid
one. Marsh may have bumped itself
up into mountains or highlands be-
come depressed to stagnant levels.
Whatever the changes were, the
Baluchistherium did not change with
them. He did not fit himself to new
circumstances. A reactionary born,
reactionary by breeding and tempera-
ment, his eyes on the past rather than
on the present and the future. he
committed racial suicide. Nature be-
came impatient with him and, save
for his skeleton-now become the
wonder and pride Of scence-wiped
him out
The moral in the ancient Baluchis-
therium for us, dear readers, Is this ::
March with the times. AS environ
ment alters. make ourselves suitable
to 1t. Seek happiness in our own
days instead Of mourning about days
and conditions gone forever Don't
make nature querulous with u.s.

HARBINeER OF ILL TO FRANCE
lIl-omsned Raven Said to Have Ap-
peared Recently in the Gardens
Of Elysee Palace.

Frances famous raven is reported
to have again appeared in the gardens
Of the Elysee palace, in Paris. 1t is
a bird of ill-omen which, for $50 years,
has heralded some kind of catastrophe
to the chief of state each time 1t has
been seen.
1t was on Saturday tow ard sundown
when the old gardener saw it perched
on a sycamore tree in the presidents
grounds. Recognizing it at once by
its unusual gray plumage, the aged
servant Immediately reported the fact,
sending shivers down the spines of
his comrades-for no member of the
presidential staff likes to meet the I'M
lucky bird.
The ravens history is curious one,
several of its appearances being re-
corded in historical documents pre-
served at the Bibliotheque Rationale.
Each time 1t has been seen, Its appear
ance has been followed by some sort
Of catastrophe or accident, the vic
tim of which is usually the head of
the state to whom it has shown itself.
The first record of its appearance
was in 1855, The gray raven then
haunted Versailles. One day, just
when she was dipping a biscuit into
a cup of milk at Trianon farm, Marie
Antoinette suddenly saw the bird look
ing at her from the tree. The queen,
knowing its history, fell into dead
faint.
In 1910 the Empress Marie Louise
was partaking of n meal almost at the
same spot. she said the birds croak-
ing seemed to warn her of the ap-
preaching end of her happiness, and
it was only few days later that Ma
poleon's triumphant career came to an
end She returned to Austria q fallen
empress.
No further appearance of the raven
is recorded until President Thiers
saw it in 1879, while staying at Yer
sailles. Thiers, who was familiar witt
the birds history, said he was un
afraid, and the bird followed him tC
the Elysee palace in Paris.
Six months before President Car
| not's assassination the great black gray
bird was seen again, and its next ap
| pearance was shortly before Fell,
| Faure's sudden death. Since then no
body has seen it until now, not ever
| at President Deschanel's unlucky &C
cident.
Believers in omens of this nature
| point out that the case of Presiden
Theirs was the only one in which thu
gray ravens arrival did not preced'
