UNION REVIVAL FOR NEzpERoE.

The Church of the Brethern and the
Community Church of this place have
each unanimously voted to put ON II
great revival campaign beginning
about February l, the exact date to
be announced later. Rev. j. H. Gray
bill, pastor of the Church of the
Brethren at Nampa, Idaho, has been
engaged to conduct these meetings. He
is scheduled to hold meetings at Win
chester this month From there he
viii come to Nezperce. Mr.. Graybill
is not novice in evangelism. He has
had many years of experience in evan
geiistie work. He is large mar
physically and has stentorian voice.
but he is calm and deliberate. He is
also man of large proportions intel
lectually. He has no theological hob
bies to ride, but breaches wholesome
and unadulterated Gospel He does not
compromise on the veil of sin, which
he shows up in it's full hideousness and
power to destroy soul and body.
Mr.. Graybill comes to Nezperce
with full knowledge of the situation,
having been here on several previous
occasions at district meetings. He
breaches justification for sinners and
the baptism of the Holy Ghost for be-
levers. Mr.. Graybill will have back
of him the united support of the two
participating congregations. 1t Is
probable that weekday cottage prayer
meetings win be held previous to his
coming. A large union choir will be
organized next Sunday evening, at
which time director will also be ap-
pointed. Weekly detailed reports win
be given in The Herald You win be
interested in further developments.
All indications are that this will be
the best-organized series of revival
meetings ever held in Nezperce. Rev.
A. r. Fike and the undersigned have
been appointed committe to work
out the details. We invite the coop
eration of all people in the community
to the end that these meetings may
be effective to the utmost We desire
an interest in your prayers, and we
urge you to assist in the singing ir-
respective of your UNCONVENTIONAL af
filiation, unless you belong to that
class who are unable to carry q tune
in basket. John A. Hoffman
Pastor.

Did you hear what Henry Ford said
the last times Nos Just day before
yesterday it was, he-told Albert Thom-
as, who is over from France with lot
of other wisdons-seekers from Europe,
that if the people of the world would
get in and work six days in the wec.
work, yep-all would soon become
contents prosperous and happy. He
included the folks of Lewis county
and the rest of the U. 8. A. in this
too. And you know Henry Ford has
proven himself anything but damn
fool, even if lot of the Jew-con-
trolled newspapers do persist in trying
to make us all think him so. Listen
70 his own words. Wives and mothers
read them and tell them to your hus-
bands and children. Here they are:
"All the money in the world could
be dumped into the sea and as long as
men put one stone on top of another
and till their ground, they would have
products to barter and exchange, and
world commerce would go on without
interruption.
"The situation is a job for every
man, " the manufacturer said. "Let
the people of the world once get the
idea that all they need to do is do o
good days work six days every week
and that in this way they can make
their own prosperity, and there will
be no more talk about unstable con-
ditionss for instability viii have

THE MORNING AFTER CHRIST

ca sage who has seen many Christ
masses thus graphically describes tho
aftermath, and it is so we'll done that
VIE are glad to pass it on. 1t is fair
to say, however, that this relation of
vents comes from a distance, in
letter to a relative, and may not APP
ply in its entirety to the average Lew
is county home the morning after.
Christmas has gone; leaving par
lors and drawing rooms sprinkled with
pine needles, cast off wrappers, toys,
handkerchiefs, hand worked napkins,
towels, slippers, silk stockings, gloves,
etc. piled in disorder upon the lounge
and the top of the piano in general
confusion.

falls like bucket of ice water, when
it strikes the gaze Of the not too am
bilious house maid.

with lone bit of nut cake surrounded
by crumbs of icing; nut container
halt full Of shells, and an occasional
nut the cracker hanging on the edge.
A quart bottle, marked Holland
Gin, with an ounce or two remaining,
bare reminder that the participants
were still sane enough to be polite.

aRANaEvrLIE ELECTRIC
ON NORTH FORK


The Grangeville Electric Light 6
Power company, owned by W. c. Siv-
yer and associates of Spokane, has
filed with the state of Idaho for the
water power rights at Bruce IS eddy
on the North Fork of the Clearwater
river, four miles above Ahsahka. En-
gineers will be sent at once there to
make surveys with view to early
construction on an S0-foot dam, car
pable of generating 10000 horse pow
er.
Shortage of power due to low water
last summer and fall at the plants on
the south fork of the Clearwater near
Grangeville and at the plant on Lolo
creek near Greer, owned by this com,
pany, has made the expansion neces-
sary, Mr.. Sivyer said last night. The
existing power lines supply Grange
vile, Cottonwood, Nezperce, Craig
mont, Reubens, Kamiah, Greer, Ferdi
maud and Grofino. The opening of the
Clearwater timber belt to milling OPP
erations IS expected 10 create an ao-
ditional market for water.
Shore rights were obtained at
Bruce 3 eddy several years ago by the
Clearwater Timber company, when
tentative plans were made for dam
that would provide log storage and
develop 5000 horsepower These rights
were allowed to lapse last summer,
permitting the filing by the Grange
Vile company.
w. G. sivyer is president Of the
Grangeville Electric Light and Power
company, B. L. Sivyer of Spokane Is
secretary treasurer and Lester Simp-
son of Spokane is general manager.
The new power site is 100 miles from
the other plants of the company.

Continuing the series on Christian
Fundamentally, the undersigned will
deliver four sermons on the Deity of
Christ. The topic for next Sunday
morning will be based ON the text.
"What think ye Of Christi Whose
Son is Hea" The argument in these
sermons is based on the two leading
factors involved in logical discus
sion of subject Of such great mag
nitude-the Scriptures and philosophy.
In these times, when the faith OF
many is unsettled by rationalism, 10
sane restatement of things that arc
fundamental in Christian belief is not
only timely, but it is designed to
strengthen wavering faith. When
properly analyzed, rationalism is not
always rational. Logic shows it to pc
frequently more irrational than is the
doctrine which it seeks to refute. IN
defending the traditional faith, we do
not resort to abuse of those who think
otherwise. Our method is resort to
Holy Writ, history, philosophy and
logic. You will discover in these SER
mons vast fund of references 10
science, philosophy and history. These
sermons are designed, also, to give the
nearer larger view of the problems
'of life.
Preparatory to the impending re-
|vival, we will open the Sunday even
ling service with forty-minute song
service, to be participated in by the
entire congregation. We have a new
song book containing some of the most
beautiful songs written in recent
years. Many of them are so popular
that they have been reproduced on
photograph records.
The Ladies Aid meets next We'd
nesday at 2:30. A union prayer meet
ing is held every Wednesday evening
at the Church Of the Brethren, tol
which all are invited. The union
Bible study class meets in the homes
each Tuesday afternoon at 2:5o.
We heartily enjoyed the mass-meet-
ing at the Chrissian church Sunday
evening. The attendance was large.

ANNUAL SUMMARY IDAHO CROP
PRODUCTION.

Jun. 4. Aht dSSFcSdte Fhlue OF tno
Is principal crops grown IN Idaho this
year was $66, $4,000 and compare with
$64 4,42l 900 for 1921. This value is
based on farm prices prevailing Dec.
LIST. Although the totai volume OF
production was slightly less this year
than last, prices of the majority of
products were higher. Very large
crops of potatoes and apples in the
United States, together with mater
ial reduction in Idaho's important
cash crop-sugar beets, were disturb
ing influences in the states prosper
ity.
This year 8 potato crop of 1920
900 bushels has value of only $4,-
$4,000 whereas the crop of l1,S40,000
bushels of 1921 had value of $9,117,-
900. There was not good deal of
difference in our apple crop for the
two years, it being 100000 bushels
this year compared with 100000 last
years. Last year, however, there was
shortage of apples in practically all
of the eastern states, SO that Idaho s
record crop brought return of So
850i000. This year the condition is
the reverse for the United States.
which largely accounts for our crop
being worth only $2,S0s,p00. Sugar
Beets had an acreage of only $4,000,
or 10000 less than last year. An ay-
erage yield of 11.l6 tons per acre is
2 tons higher than last years aver
age. In 1921 the beet crop averaged
the grower 5000 per ton The con
tract price this year was $3.50 but
since the companies allow the grower
to participate in the profits of sugar
sales, it is anticipated that the net
price to growers this year will aver
age $500 per ton and on that basis the
crop is valued at $l,939,000 compared
with 2.478,00o last year.
AS usual, hay was the state g most
valuable crop in both yearS with a
total of $26, 6,7o5,oO0 this year against
$20,875,00O in 1921. Other crop val
ues are as follows: wheat, 1922, $21, Z
$4,000; 1921, $40 9,405, 900; oats, 1922,
$2,S32pOo; 1921 $2,477,ooo; barley,
1922, $l,S76,ooo; 1921, $1,3os,ooO;
corn, 1922, $1,56l,o 900; 1921, 1922, 900;
beans, 1922, $L23ssooO; 1921 $685.
900.
In value per acre sugar beets stand
first of the field crops with $6l.35.
(This may be raised to $7S.12 if the
anticipated bonus is paid). Potatoes
rank second with a value of $57.35l
per acre, but in 1921 they registered
first for $l42.45 with sugar beets
second for $55.08.
The above taken together with re-
turns from our livestock and livestock
products indicate that Idaho farmers
have seen their worst days and are
now on the upgrade. The sheep in
dustry, that barometer of the state IS
agricultural prosperity. has made q
spectacular recovery. Cattlemen are
recovering more slowly, but neverthe-
less are seeing daylight. The dairy
is expanding on sound mod
ern principles. Idaho's poultry in
dustry has reached the stage where
we speak off-hand of our exports IN
terms of carlot quantities. And if in
addition, proper attention is paid to
the distribution end of the business,
Idaho agriculture is bound to prosper. |

This peaceful town, or, rather, this
town, was numerically aroused from
its peaceful slumber at 12 O'Clock Sun
day night by the vigorous changing of
every bell within it's limits, and just
as some one in every household hur-
riedly put on what was handiest to
rush to the fire, another member Of
that household happened to think and
say, "it's Ney Years" About time
the bells had finished doing their
worst, some one or more set the N. g
l. locomotive whistle going and it had
an inning of about ten miutes. Thus
the new year came to Nezperce.
