Europe is having and will continue
to have, plenty of trouble, but 1t Ii
mighty doubtful if war, on any ex
tensive scale, will result fol some
wears to come. 1t will be remembered
that there was little unpleasantness
over there a few years ago, and we
doubt whether the people who lived
through that will want repetition
no matter how much bluff and buster
there may be. Succeeding genera
lions, which did not suffer from the
war and it's effects. may not have any
better sense than to take the scrap
again.

1t will be gratifying to majority
of Latah county farmers to know that
the work of the county agricultural
agent in Latah county will be con-
tinued, the county commissioners hay
ing appropriated $500 for the main
tenance of the work during the year.
While there are farmers who perhaps
do not need the service or advice OF
the county agent, there are many
others who have benefited greatly, and
it is safe to say that, taken as a
whole, Latah county is ahead con-
siderable sum of money through the
efforts Of County Agent Fletcher and
the Latah County Farm Bureau. The
work has taken in wide scope,
covering everything from securing
good seed wheat to getting rid of the
ubiquitous squirrel. In many dis
tricts interest has been created in
better farming and through the club
work dozens of boys and girls have
become enthusiastic over farm work
and its possibilities, and will, in
cases, in all probability, take up agri-
cultural work and make a success of
1t where, otherwise, they might have
left the farm to take up some other
line of work with much smaller posi-
bilities for successful and independ-
ent life While it is true that some
oppose the county agent program, we
believe that the county, as a whole,
is heartily in accord with the work
and that the returns from the money
expended is several fold

SHOWS HOW MEN WILL STRUGGLE
The situation in Germany moves on
at galloping speed. A few weeks
ago new issue of 33,OOO,OOO marks
of paper currency in one week was
noteworthy, but the pace has since
increased to over 100,O00,0O0 in a
week. The amount outstanding at the |
date of the armistice was about |
100000 marks, and had risen
at the end of 1921 to about 100000 !
100000, a sum which in 1922 was |
multiplied by 10 During the first |
three months Of 1922 the mark was
about a half cent; now the exchange
rate is about TX hundredths of a
cent That business goes on after
some fashion, simply shows how men
will struggle to adapt themselves to
conditions seemingly impossible

NO PLACE FOR A. LAME DUCK.
If President Harding is merely con-
sidering to which lame duck politician
he shall give the job of secretary of
he interior, the west will be satisfied
With Senator Poindexter, Representa-
i've Mondell, Governor Dixon of Mon
ana, or any other western man of
equal ability who was left out in
he cold last November 1t would be
profoundly dissatisfied with Carmi
thompson or Senator New, for there
would be no apparent reason for the
appointment of either of them ex-
ept that they were political friends
f the president and needed the job
nd their unfamiliarity with it would
e reason against hem.--Oregonian.
