VALUE OF COUNTY FAIRS.

County and community fairs are Of
real value to any community ans
county when they stress some sount
educational features and clean recrea
tion, promote interest and pride in
local achievement, and create an at
mosphere of social unity, said dean
Edward @. johnson, of the agricultural
college of the State College of Wash
ington at recent meeting of farm.
ers, breeders and business men of Col
fax.
They are Of greatest interest to
those who give their time and effort
toward making them a success, wheth-
or by entering livestock and other
farm products of hand made or manu-
factured goods for competition, or by
contributing time and funds for the
necessary preparation. When well
managed they also have large appeal
to the general public.
They are most successful when the
interest and effort of the whole com
munity are enlisted
The good win and active help of
breeders associations, bankers asso-
Citations, commercial clubs, and the
press are essential. When all these
work together for the common purpose
Of making the county fair true edu
cational, recreational and social
event for the community and entire
county every year, success is assured
The Lewis County Fair, to be held
Oct. 2, 8, 4 this year, is conducted on
The community plan and has proven q
big success.

SEVEN BUILDINGS BURN AT
CULDEsAC.

The town of Culdesac was again
threatened with destruction by fire
Monday afternoon when seven frame
buildings near the depot burned, be-
fore the conflagration was stopped.
This was the third destructive fire
at that place in the last seven years,
and about cleaned up the only remain
ing frame business houses. The loss
is put at about $4,000, with very
little insurance; the rate there being
practically prohibitivv.
The fire, cause unknown, started in
shed near the general store Of Hugh
Norbo, spread to the store, then the
home of Charles Pilgrim which was
also the office Of the Farmers Coop
erative Telephone system, then the 8.
L. Wilson second hand store, the
Shores & McDaniels black smith shop,
and the residence occupied by Plen
Bateman. So rapid was the spread of
the fire that only small portion of
the contents of the buildings could be
saved, although many citizens were at
work to stay the flames and save
everything possible.

EDITORS URGED TO VISIT UNI
vERSITY.

Editors OF Idaho newspapers are be-
ing urged to visit the University Of
idaho at the conclusion Of the Idaho
Editorial association meeting at
Grangeville in July by Judge Charles
P. Mccarthy, Boise, chief justice Of
the Idaho state supreme court, who
made statement while Judge and
Mrs. Mccarthy were campus visitors
at the University last week. Judge
Mccarthy praised the north and south
Idaho highway for its marvellous
scenic effects and pointed out the ad-
vantages of the highway in providing
an easy, pleasant and comfortable
means Of transportation to and from
the University.
If the editors of the state do not
avail themselves of the opportunity TO
visit Moscow and the University of
Idaho they will cheat themselves out
of wonderful experience. The high
way from Grangeville to Moscow, par
ticularly the Winchester hill, is fully
equal to the rest of the north and
south Idaho highway from the scenic
point Of view. The editors will re-
ceive most royal welcome at the
University and in Moscow.

BENZ, ON POTATOES, HERE JUNE

F. Benz, the Yakiman potato king
is billed to deliver an address on po-
tatoes at the Fraternal Hall in this
city on Tuesday evening, June "a. If
you are interested in spud culture, you
will want to hear this talk. Mr.. Benz
needs little introduction here. Most
of us heard him on former visit to
Nezperce. He is now empoyed by the
Northern Pacific Railway as it's ag-
ricultural agent and he comes to us
without expense to the community.
He will also deliver addresses at
Winchester on the evening of the
23rd, at Craigmont at noon ON the
oath, at Cottonwood ct noon on the
25th, and ct Grangeville that even
ing.
From last years potato crop IT car
loads were shipped from Nezperce,
bringing in about $1,000. This was ex-
elusive of home consumption and tho
smaller shipments made. This indus
try is going to grow into something
big on the prairie, and Mr.. Benz will
help us make it worth while.

HIGHWAY WORK pRoaRUss1Nc.

Geo. I. Lynn and his husky crew o.
road builders are well along with the
work on the first mile of highway
grading northeast of town and viii
soon be doing the second mile. Wher
that job is finished, the highway com
missioners plan to have things ready
for construction on the Mohler road
The location survey has been finished
and a portion of the right-of-way has
been secured. This is being cross-sec-
toned by Engineer Oehler.
The Prairie Highway district is fol
lowing conservative system of high
way building and the results it is get
ting are most gratifying. The work
thus far accomplished is costing con-
siderably less than in most other dis
tricts and it is being paid for without
bonding or any increase in tax levies.

McNARv-HAUaEN BILL DEAD.
Lower House On Tuesday Denied

BY Vote of a24 TO 154.

The congress that is responsible for
the present distressfuI condition of
agriculture in the United States, on
Tuesday gave undeniable expression of
its unwillingness to render the farmer
any genuine assistance in his dilemma.
The farmers will have their turn for

row and it was indicated that If 1t
receives approval an attempt will be
made to enact 1t into a law before
congress adjourhs Saturday.
Details remain to be worked out
but a rough draft of the new plan
would place the marketing abroad Of
certain surplus farm products, limit
ed to wheat, flour, livestock and meat
products in the hands of the war fin
ance corporation, which would bo au-
thorized to buy from farmers at prices
in advance Of market quotations.
The life of the emergency act would
be limited to July l, 1926.
While the substitute abandons prac.
tically all the features of the McNary-
Haugen bill, those who assisted in
drafting it declared it carried out tho
measure Is principles. The house vote
Today clearly indicated, they said, the
futility of obtaining favorable action

Haugen bill.

If a committee of representatives of
farm organizations, declared in
statement that the fight for the en-

announced that conference would be
