THRESHING AGAIN.

Threshlng operations were
stopped for two days this week
due to the light showers that
fell the first Of the week.
Threshing has again been resum
ed and with two weeks more of
clear days all the threshing in
this section will be completed.
Grain has been coming into
Cottonwood the past week at a
lively rate and most of the ware
houses are now being crowded
for storage space. Old timers
tell us that more grain will be
threshed this year than has
been the case in many years ii
not in the history of farming
operations on Camas Prairie.
The farmers have no COM
plant to make in regard to the
yield per acre, but the price Of
grain, in the opinion Of all is not
what it should be.

THEY READ 'EM.

That advertisements in news
papers when properly written
are read was again forceably
brought to our attention this
week. In the issue of Septem-
Der Ia w. B. Hussman ran an
advertisement in the Chronicle
entitled Country Suckers at a
County Fair" in which he relat-
ed his experiences at the Lewis
ton Fair. So interesting and
well written was the advertise
ment that the Lewiston Banner
republished it in full and it did'd
cost Bill a cent, with the follow
ing comment:
"Rather out of the ordinary,
yes, but an advertisement OF the
HussnAan Lumber company in
the Cottonwood Chronicle last
week consisted entirely of the
story Of visit to the Lewiston
fall fair by the owner and fami-
ly. And we rather think it will
make good reading matter fol
Lewiston folks" Then follows
the ad in full.

GAS TAX YIELDS BIG.

Idaho has collected $161 ,403
from the gasoline tax since it
went into operation April l, ac-
cording to an audit of the bu-
reau's books recently completed
by B. E. Hyatt, state director of
public accounts, at the request
of F. A. Jeter, commissioner of
law enforcement.
All money collected from the
gasoline tax goes into the state
highway fund to be used for
road purposes. The audit shows
that each months collections
since the law became effective
have been larger than the pre-
ceding month. In May approx
imately $4,000 was collected; in
June, $4,000; in July, $$44, 900,
and in August, $4,000.

CORN 13 FEET HIGH.

f. G. Nuxoll brought to the
Chronicle office, Saturday a
stalk of corn raised on his ranch
that measures just thirteen feet
in heighth from the roots to the
top of the stalk, we are frank to
admit it is by far the tallest
stalk of corn that we have ever
seen and in this opinion we are
also joined by everyone who has
seen it.
The corn was planted early in
May, by Barney Nuxoll, who
brought the seed from Illinois
and is Of the Yellow Dent vari-
ETY.. Mr.. Nuxoll, who is visiting
here with brothers stated that
he has raised bushels of corn in
Illinois but for height none of it
had the corn beat that he raised
in Idaho.
On the stalk are three ears of
corn, the last one being just ten
feet from the ground, or in other
words the average man would
have to have step ladder tc
pick the corn from the fodder
while in it's growing position
No great amount Of this corr
was planted but what was plant
ed was set 20 inches apart.

Barley Fruit Pudding.

Mix together one and one-half cup
fuls Of barley flour, one-half a cup
full of graham -four two heaping tea
spoonfuls Of baking powder, one-half
a teaspoonful of salt and four tea
spoonfuls of sugar. To one cupful
of sour cream add one-fourth cupful
or cold water, one-fourth teaspoonful
of soda and one beaten egg. Beat the
liquid thoroughly into the dry mix
ture and pour it over sliced raw or
canned peaches or quartered apples
in creased pan. Let 1t steam for
one and one-half hours and serve it
with sugar and cream. If you wish.
you can steam the batter separately
in a pan, then serve it in slices with
fresh or preserved fruit and cream.
Another variation is to add a cupful
Of rafsins or other dried fruit to the
batter and to serve this with hot
lemon juice. Any leftover portion
of the pudding will be just as good
when warmed over. Always sift the
barley flour before measuring it.

Barth elmess, Serious Work

D ICHARD BARTHELMESS, in addi-
tion to a fine physique which he
takes care to preserve, is said to have
an alert and studious mind, and for
the past seven months. instead of
rollicking about New York and Long
Island like playboy of the western
world, he has been called upon to
devote his time to genuine study and
research work.
There is always a faithfuluess and
authenticity about his chara cteriZa-
tions that does not occur by accident.
When he Was confronted with the
task OF playing Charles Abbott in
! THE Bright Shawl" he found it
necessary TO learn a great deal about
Cuban history, traditions and mode
Of living. He was also faced with
the need of learning how to fence
sufficiently we'll to be bested by a
superior swordsman without the ap
pearance of its being too easy. All
of these things he did and The
Bright Shawl was hailed as a fine
achievement.
The preparation for his role of
Karl van Kerstenbroock in The
Fighting Blade" a romance of the
time of Cromwell and tho overthrow
of Charles / of England, is said to
Evening star., 1923-12-09

have required an even more rigorous
training. kerStenbroock is supposed
to he the finest duelliSt in his coun-
try, swordsman superb. and Bar
thelmess had to perfect his know
ledge of fencing by daily workouts in
the gymnasium of the New York
Athletic Club under the tutelage of
the best instructor in the east. Fur
thermore It is declared he plunged
into q study of the period of the
picture to acquire true insight into
the psychology of the times 10 ac-
quire the general requirements for
a convincing assumption OF the role.
John :. Robertson, who has directed
Barthe!meSs recent releases. has point ed
out that it is this studious phase of his
stars character that has elevated him
TO the top rank of screen actors. For.
he says, acting ability is not de-
terriined by the closeup study of
the features Of the face but by the
players ability to harmonic his ac-
tion with the general trend and at
mosphere OF the drama in the long
shots where he becomes a central but
none the less integral figure of a
considerable panorama.

fur says MIR. Robertson. that the
