CHAPTER X
FACING Trial.

A distinct sensation ran through
the Woodruff school, but the school
master and q group of five boys and
three girls engaged in a very unclass-
like conference in the back of the
room were all unconscious of 1t. The
geography classes had recited, and
the language work was on. Those
too small for these studies were play
ing a game under the leadership Of
jimmie Simms, who had been promot-
ed to the position Of weed-seed mon
flor.
The game was forfeits. Each child
had been encouraged to bring some
sort of weed from the winter fields
preferably one the seed of which still
chung to the dried receptacles-but
anyhow, a weed. If any pupil brought

tain a considerable collection-it was
placed there, and the task allotted 10
the best penman in the school to write
its proper label. All this caused ex-
element, and not a little buzz-but 1t
ceased when the county superintend-
ent entered the room.
For it was after the first of Janu-
airy, and Jennie was visiting the Wood
ruff school.
The group in the back of the room
went on with its conference, oblivious
of the entrance Of Superintendent
Jennie. Their work was rather abb
sorbing, being no more nor less than
the compilation of the figures of a cow
census of the district.

Profitable to Provide
Plenty Shade and Water

1t is a profitable practice to pro-
vide plenty of shade and water for the
hogs. While trees furnish the best
shade a simple u protection in the
form of a straw or brush roof sup
ported by posts will be satisfactory
for this purpose If left open at the
sides. The hog is not equipped with
sufficient sweat glands for cooling
and needs this help during
the heat of summer.

Joble Comforter.

IT know, my dear" said the old
aunt, that 1t is hard for you to be 80
homely and not to be invited by the
boys to go on these joy rides and road
house parties, but at least you have
the satisfaction of knowing you are
entertaining a clear conscience"
Eyes, no doubt" sighed her homely
niece, "but a good-looking sheik could
entertain me a lot more satisfactorily"

The colonel had always been friend

aid the boys in every possible way in
their campaign against scab in pota-
toes. He suggested some tests which
would show the real value of the
treatment. The boys were in a glow
of pride at this cooperation with
Colonel Woodruff. This was real
work Jim and the colonel went
away together. 1t had been a great
evening.
"Jim," said the colonel, car these

the colonel. "She's acting according

Among the pioneer white settlers Of
this community were Math. Schmidt
kofer and his good wife. They took
a quarter section two miles southwest
of Nezperce ard thereon built and
made one of the most attractive
farm homes imaginable Here they
raised large family, every member
of which was, like the elders, thrifty,
conservative and industrious. They
lived along the route marked out by
the Golden Rule. Naturally, they
prospered and they helped others.
They found their greatest happiness
in making their neighbors happy.
Some three years ago, to better ae-
comodate and utilize the energy and
ability of his growing family, Mr..
Schmidllxofer bought another quarter
section and thereon fixed up ia home in
which he and his wife expected to
spend the balance of their days. They
liked this community, which had been
their home so long, and as like begets
like, the community liked them-the
feeling is still mutual
Then along came the conditions
which have twisted the reins of con-
troll out of the hands of even the
thrifty farmers like Math schmidt
kofer, and for the past two years,
work and manage as they might, they
found the going exceedingly difficult
Where there had been a profit, there
was now a deficit. Yes, they diyersi-
fled, besides wheat they produc-
ed dairy cattle, hogs, corn and other
crops, and had silos for their winter
feed After carfully considering this
trend, they decide to change their
course and location while they yet had
a margin to go on.
On last Monday they had one OF the
largest and most successful sales OF
farm equipment ever held on the prai-
rie. The total returns amounted to
over 4,700--several hundred dollars
more than Mr.. Schmidikofer had cal
culated be would get. In opening the
sale, Harry Cranke, the auctioneer,
spoke feelingly of the man and his
family, paying them a fine tribute,
justly deserved, which drew prolonged
applause from the big crowd Of old
neighbors and friends assembled there.
Following the sale, Mr.. Schmidlkofer
and his family bade all good bye, and
on the next day took their departure
for Lapwai, where they will 90 into
the dairy business on large scale;
That they win mako a success OF
this there is little doubht in the minds
of their old prairie friends, who wall
mics them as community always
misses such real people as the Schmidt
kofers.

First There When Needed.

The seventh annual Roll Call cam.
paign for the American Red Cross win
open on next Sunday, Armistiee Day,
and will end November 30, Thanksgiy-
ing Day. The Lewiston chapter terri
tory includes the three counties of
Nez Perce, Lewis and Idaho. William
Bollinger, of Lewiston, is the general
chairman of the campaign, and is now
organizing the campaign forces
throughout the chapter territory.
The Lewiston chapter has splendid
record of work, well exemplifying that
of the national organization which is
known as the great World Mother,
ready at all times to come to the relief
of its children in distress, knowing no
dividing lines of color, race, nation
atty or religion. 1t is wonderful
peace force in the world, giving daily
a practical demonstration of the
brotherhood Of man and the father.
hood of God.
Notably in the recent disaster In
Japan, the Red Cross met the emer-
gency, and the people responded to its
call for the sum of $5,000,000, by Civ
ing more than $l0,000,O00, within a
period of only three weeks. Then
came the disaster at Berkeley, Cali
fornia, and the Red Cross was ready.
In the Lewiston chapter territory, the
fire at Culdesac afforded an opportun-
ity for Red Cross relief work, and the
division headquarters at San Francis
co in less than week sent fund of
$500 to help rebuild home for an
aged widow at Culdesac. The Lewis
ton chapter management, in coopera-
ton with a building committee at Cui-
desac, handled the relief.
Out of each membership, the nation
al Red Cross receives fifty cents, and
the remainder is used in the chapter
territory in the many lines of work,
including aid for disabled ex-service
men and their families, social welfare
work, first aid service and the work
of the Junior Red Gross. To be a mem
Der of the Red Cross is privilege
that every person should prize, as an
to have share in one Of
the most noble lines of phiianthropic
service.

Early last spring, when the first
buds were showing on the trees and
the birds were twittering their sum
ser plans to their mates and the roads
were opening to travel, Ben Mcknight
and pal of like caliber hove into
this vicinity IA chic roadster and
were alleged to have cashed load of
contrabrand' handy to town. The
alertness of Sheriff A. w. Mitchell
and Deputy Leslie Brown, who gained
information which made them suspl-
cious of Meningitis conduct, prevent
ed the distribution of any of the said
contrabrand in this county, and the
visitors left after expressing their dis
gust with rural life in general. Pre-
sumably, they returned to Spokane
where, according to the following item
from last Saturdays Lewiston Tri-
bune, they finally met their Water
loo:
The fiye-passenger touring err
which was stolen last July from
Charles Parker has been recovered in
Spokane and will be returned to him
following tho trial of the men impli-
Gated in its theft, according to word
received by Mr.. Parker. The car YVES
recovered Wednesday during the
roundup of a gang of alleged booze
runners and car thieves by the Spo-
kane and federal authorities at Spo-
kane. Three men and one woman
were captured but it is belived that
several others are members of the
gang. At least one of the men has
confessed to assisting in car stealing
and booze running expeditions.
Mr.. Parker was called TO Spokane
to identify the car and found that It
had not been damaged and had been
run only 1000 miles since its theft
It was practically new at the time II
was taken.
1t is probable that the men and the
woman arrested will be tried in the
federal court as the stolen ears were
taken out Of the state. The four ar
rested gave their names as james
Burk, Frank Wilson, Ben Mcknight
and Mrs. Annie Jessmer II is be
lieved that they specialized in running
booze into Spokane with stolen cars
The Parker car is supposed to have
been in the vicinity of Spokane since
its theft.
