Pieturing the devil in his past deal
ings with the creation of God, how he
had fooled many from the common
man to the monarch of Egypt. He
then pictured the Devil as he was
conquered by Jesus. At last he came
to the question of a personal devil and
all present were impressed with the
feeling that the devil was power In
the world to be reckoned with. Mr..
Hutton closed by saying, "There are

the Lord Jesus Christ will always vote
for you You have the deciding vote,

Monday night the sermon on, "The
Great Inyitation,'' put the invitation
Of God to lost world as the greatest

movement Launched to Form Lewis
county Organization at Gather
ing Here Early in Summer.

The success of such organizations il
older idaho counties has encouraged
this sentiment. In 1922 The Pioneer
Society of North Idaho was organized
at Lewiston, and at last years meet
ing, held in that city on September
81. the interest manifested demon
strated beyond an ysuestion that the
organization was going to fill ong
felt want, and its future growth and
usefulness was assurbd.
It is now proposed that Lewis coun-
ty come forward with an auxiliary to
this parent society, and organize dur
ing the coming season county unit.
The idea is to hold pioneer meeting
or picnic in Nezperce sometime in
MAY or June, to be attended by the
pioneers and all citizens who wish to
participate, and thereat launch the
county organization.
The Pioneer Society Of North idaho
covers the following counties: Bound
ary, Bonner, Shoshone, Kootenai, Ben
ewah, Latah, Nez Perce, Clearwater,
Lewis and Idaho. Attorney Robert d.
Leeper of Lewiston is president if this
organization, and it has e board of
directors made up of one individual
appointed from each county. p. w.
Mitchell of Nezperce was appointed to
represent Lewis county on this board.
He is pushing the plan for Lewis
rounty association, and viii select
committee at an early date to make
arrangements for the meeting to be
held here, as stated above.
In the meantime, it is desired that
the name of every pioneer in the coun-
ty be listed. To this end The Herald
proposes to receive such names, from
anyone in the various communities
who will send them in, and publish the
list as it is assembled. To qualify
under the title of pioneer, one must
have been a resident of Idaho for 80
years, or resident of this county
since the opening of the reservation
in 1895.
Following is a partial list of those
in the Nezperce section who qualify as
Lewis county pioneers:

r. E. Near.

Daring Filler Leaps
From Airplane 500
Feet Above the Ground
Lands Safely After Twenty-Five Min
utes, Fully Conscious of All That
Happened During Fall.

His lie depending on a few strong
cords for 25 minutes as he hoated to
earth from an airplane 800 feet in
the clouds Corp. C. Eugene Conrad,
OF Kelly Field. Tex, broke the south
ern record for parachute jumping and
disproved the assertion sometimes
made that a man falling more than a
thousand feet through the air becomes
unconscious
Conrad not only remained conscious
during the trip to earth but also wait
ed eight seconds before he pulled the
cord that opened his parachute and
made his descent safe. Conrad spent
Is minutes in the descent and landed
in a muddy alley mile and halt
from the spot over which he jumped.
The cold was so intense as the army
plane piloted by Lieut. Leland An
drews. in which Corp. Conrad rode,
neared the 21,000-foot level that Con
RAIDS hands became numb. Lieut.. An
drews put Conrad's fingers around the
cords OF the parachute as he jumped.
Neither parachute nor plane were
visible to a crowd on the earth far
below as the descent began. AT 1900
feet above the earth the parachute first
was seen. Soon afterward, struck by
a south wind, it began carrying Con
rad toward small lake.

GEORGIA SOIL WELL
ADAPTED TO POTATOES
IT'S NECESSARY TO USE SEED
FREE FROM DISEASE. 1NTER-
ESTING DATA IS GIVEN.

That Georgia can produce Irish po-
tatoes with gratifying success IS
shown in statement made at the
Georgia Experiment Station. Seed po-
tatoes if is said, from almost every
section OF the country can be raised
in Georgia with little trouble and they
apparently are we'll adapted to the SOIL
The message to Georgia farmers
from H. p. Stuckey, director OF the
Georgia Experiment Station, IS as lol-
lows:
THE Georgia Experiment Station
has for number OF years, grown
irish potatoes. the seed tubers OF
which came from several different
sections of this country as well as
from Canada The data, as whole,
indicates very clearly that the KIND
and amount Of diseast infection car
ried in the seed tubcrs has a greater
influence on the yield than does the
section of the country in which the
seed potatoes were grown.
"A Jew examples are here given Tor
one wear which was very uniavorable
ior Irish potatoes. The variety source
oi seed and bushels per acre as as
follows;
irish cobbler Certified seed, Mary
land Is; Irish cobbler, Maine, o.;
Irish cobbler (second crop seed), N1r-
ginia. 43; Bliss, Maine, AZ; Bliss (cer-
tified seed. Arkansas, AZ; Bliss (sec-
ond crop seed, q.
The following year was more IA
yorable to Irish potatoes as indicated
bv the following yields from different
Bliss certified seed), Wisconsin,
120; Bliss. Canada, 1903; Irish cobbler,
Georgia. 10; Irish cobbler, Virginia,
10: Irish cobbler, Canada, us; Green
Mountain, Georgia, 124.
The mosaic disease is one OF the
troublesome diseases OF the Irish po-
,ato This disease is carried in the
seed tubers and can be controlled on
w bv selecting disease free plants IN
the field. The Red Bliss or Triumph,
so commonly grown Tor the early
crop is especially susceptible to the
mosaic disease An inspection OF the
tubers does not disclose the presence
OF the disease. and growers have to
depend upon the reliability OF the seed
growers and the dealers. In some
states the growers, who make spe--
cialtv Of growing disease free seed
POTATOES. have their fields inspected by
capable state officials who issue certi-
fcates to growers OF disease free seed
stock. Such seed potatoes are thus
sold as certified stock which usually
command a premium over ordinary or
commercial seed potatoes. Certified
seed potatoes do not always give larg-
er Yields than common seed stock,
lust as registered dairy COW may
not give more milk than common
grade COW. However the certlhed
seed potatoes will generally produce
the best results"
