The groom grew to manhood in
Nezperce, and graduated from our
High School with the class of 1916
He was star player on the Nezperce
High School basket BAH team which
ranked with the best in the North
west He later moved with his par

versity, and there made an enviable
record in college athletics, gradual
ing with honors from that institution
in 1920. The many old friends of the
family here extend congratulations
and best wishes to this fine young man
and his bride.

and it is hoped that there will be a
ready response to the project. The
cost is only $3.50 for each flag outfit

Orofino some time ago adopted this

look into this matter with profit, for
this town also has Main Street where
such display of the grand old Flag

."Older people are not always wise
in their wishes for the young says
Clarence Hall Wilson in his 'sTalks to
Young People, "They often permit
their affection to becloud their judg
ment. One of their temptations is the
desire to make life easier for their
children than it was for themselves.
For instance, man who has to work
hard to make his way in life would
like to see his son go by an easier way.
If he yields to that desire the conse-
quence is likely to be that his son will
grow up lazy, incompetent, good-for-
nothing, untitled for the stern tasks
of life. Or, little closer to the
point, man remembers the tempta-
lions of his own youth, his mistakes
which might easily have proved DIS
astrous and seeks to shield his SON
from like perils; throws about him so
many safeguards, shuts him in to
such safe associations that there seems
to be little opportunity for him to go
wrong. The result is likely to be a
man of soft and flabby soul, without
moral backbone, whom the slightest
breath of temptation win topple over.
And then we are foolish enough to
wonder that strong men so often have
weak sonsl think that young peo-
Pile have subtle appreciation of tho
moral cowardice of the counsels of
their elders, and that they resent it.
They covet for themselves the excite
ment, the peril, and the contest, and
do not wish to be shielded. *****there
is nothing so dangerous as seeming to
be safe. want to tell you how to
fight, not how to run away and hide
in the day of battle *****If you do
not encounter your perils now with \
brave heart you viii be Stacker in
the great days to come

NEW IDEA IN TOWN DECORATION

The commercial Club at its luncheon
yesterday voted to adopt what is
known as the Shenandoah system Of
town decoration, which is being taken
up by cities and towns all over the
country. 1t consists Of placing Amer
lean flags along the principal street
or streets of the town, the flag posts
being set in the cement along the out
err margin of the sidewalks. Placed
at regular intervals of one for each
lot or perhaps little wider spaces, they
give a street beautiful appearance
and at the same time furnish q lesson
in patriotism and public pride that will
be invaluable The flags are set in
piece of gas pipe imbedded in the
walk and are to be used only on
special and patriotic occasions. The
poles are twelve feet high and the
flags Axe feet.
A committee from the club will soon
make canvass of the business houses

At the point of guns, they compelled two negro, elevator men to conduct them to the tenth floor apartment of MT. and Mrs. J. H. Kirst, who few minutes before had areturned home. Mrs. Kirst wore gems valued at s50,000.
 The bandits compelled one of the negroes to ring the Kirst bell, which was answered by a maid. She open ed the door a few inches to glance at the late caller, caught a glimpse of a menacing form behind the trembling negro. and slammed it shut. The negroes set up an alarm and the bandits fled.
 Police believe the robbers follow ed the Kirsts home from a Broadway cabaret where they had marked the gem-1aden Mrs. Kirst as a victim.

Much Good Results

Washington, Sept. 29. - The round-the-world flight by the army aviators has accomplished import ant results of an international as- pect in the opinion of Secretary Hughes. The establishment of friendly contacts in the various countries visited" he said in a let ter to Secretary Weeks. ''the strength and efficiency of the air service which the flight evidenced and the new prestige which tho fiiers have brought to our flag will have. far-reaching effect on the international relations of this coun- try, the benefit of which cannot be over estimated"
 Mir. Hughes extended the con- gratulations of the state depart ment and expressed deep admira- ton for the "courage. persever- ance and extraordinary skill of the fliers."
 Replying to the secretary of state, Assistant Secretary Davis said:
 "The war department has felt that the flight is scientific achieve ment of a high order. made by a little band of well-trained and en- ergetic army men, who are carry ing on in our time the pioneer work done by their predecessors of for mer generations. Our military per sonnel is thereby rendering the same service to the world at large as was performed by our frontier troops when they opened up the west, established the overland trails and assisted iA the development of the transcontinental railway sys- tems. Lieutenant Smith and his colleagues are fitting successors to Lewis and Clark"
 Secretary Weeks sent this tele- gram to Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith. commander of the flight:
 "Congratulations to you and your comrades on being the first to fly around the world. Our people re- ioice that you are Americans. The war department and the army of the United States are proud that you are American soldiers"

MRS. FERGUSON SCORES
Injunction to Keep Her Name Of Texas Gubeanatorial Ballot is Re- fused by Court Today.

By The Associated Press.
 Austin, Tex, Sept. 29.--Mrs, Mir fam A. Ferguson today won the first step in the court fight to have her disqualified as democratic nominee for governor of Texas. An injunc- ton to keep her name off the ballot was refused by Judge George C. Calhoun.
 The court held that Mrs. Fer gusoo is qualified in every way to hold office and that the So-called common law disa biltty against wom- en in office does not apply.
 The old common law principles on which the plaintiff, Charles M, Dick son, of San Antonio, relied were said by the judge to be ohoeelte in this country and he could find no inhibi- ton in either the Texas constitution or the statutes of this state which denies women the right to hold of fee.
