THE PRIMARY NEXT TUESDAY

There will be only two contests !,
the primary election in Lewis count,
next Tuesday; one on the Republica,
ticket, wherein Jake Belts and VIM
huble are competing for the nomina
ton for Commissioner of the frs,
district, and one on the Democrati.
ticket, wherein A. w. Mitchell ani
W. 9. Duncan are competing for the
nomination FOR sheriff.
Mr. Bettis is well known and rem
resentative farmer, residing on the
Nezperce- -Kamiah road about six miles
east OF this city. He is gentleman
held in high esteem by all who have
had dealings with him and is consid-
cred well qualified for the commits
sionefship by wide circle of friends,
who feel that as a farmer he would
be best able to look after the public
interest in district wherein farm
ing is the principal industry. Mr..
Ruble, his opponent for the nomina
tion, is a well known citizen of KAN
iah where he has been engaged in the
contracting and building trade for
many years. He has served the coun-
ty for two terms as commissioner from
the first district, and was chosen
chairman of the board during his first
term.
A. W. Mitchell, the present sheriff
of Lewis county, has given the com
monwealth a generally satisfactory
administration of that office, impair
TALLY taking care of its duties at the
minimum of expense to the taxpayers.
He seeks denomination by his party
on the record he has made. Mr. Dun
can, who opposes him for the nomina-
tion, is pioneer of the Craigmont
section and is at the present time en-
gagged in blacksmithing in that city.
Though the contests in this election
are limited and there is little enthu-
siasm evident in every quarter, ltI
behooves the voters to turn out and
give expression to their wish in the
matter It will take but a few mo-
nents to exercise ones privilege at
his and the general election, but the
'esults extend over a period of years.
It is up to the voter 60 get the result
le wants now.

ASKED AND
ANSWERED

Q. What was the origin OF Thart .
giving Day. and is it a legal holiday
in all OF the States?
Thanksgiving is essentially hsr-
vest festival. and its very earliest OBJ
servance can be traced to the Pilgrim
fathers. During the Revolution
Thanksgiving D.y was national
institution being annually recommend
ed by Congress; but after the gen.
eral thanksgiving for peace. in 1871,
there was no natioral appointment
until 1880, when Washington. by re-
quest OF Congress. recommended 4
day OF Thanksgiving for the adoption
OF the Constitution. Washington is
sued a second proclamation for
thanksgiving in l7o5. on account OF
the suppression OF instruction. Pres
ident Madison recommended thanks
giving for peace in 1915. During
the Civil war; in 1868 and 1901
President Lincoln issued proclama-
tons recommending annual thanks
giving. Since then a proclamation
has been issued annually by the
President, and usually by the Cover
nors of various States.
Q. When and how was the Lib
erty Bell cracked
There is a popular misunderstand-
ing that the Liberty Bell was cracked
when the Continental Congress. on
July 4. 1776. declared the independ-
ence OF the American Colonies from
Great Britain. and when the old bell
man. in his ecstasy and enthusiasm.
is said to have rung the bell for two
hours. The facts are. however, that
the Bell was not cracked until 1885
when il was cracked under a stroke
OF the hammer.
O. VIA, is the average working
day in the coal mines
At the present time miners do not
average 200 days work a year.
Q. Is there any process where
dustless dust clothes can be made At
home?
Take large square OF new clean
cheesecloth. dip in kerosene and hang
in sun until dry
Q. What city in Europe is called
the Venice Of the NORTH
Stockholm, Sweden. 1, is on IN
arm OF the Baltic and the waterways
are constantly filled with small boats
plying between different parts OF the
city.
Q. Is it true that George Wash
ington was disfgured from a sick
ness OF small pox?
He had the disease and was quite
badly pockmarked in consequence.
Q. What per cent OF the accidents
upon the public highways are due
to automobile traffic. and is the men,
ace increasing?
Secretary OF commerce Hoover gives
out figures to the effect that OF the
accidents in street and highway traf-
fc about IS percent are due to auto
mobiles. There are no figures to
show that people are any longer be-
ing kicked by horses. The statistics
from which Mr.. Hoover quotes show
that in 1928 not less than 1900 per-
sons we're killed. 67S.oO0 injured and /

and reports made by some of the
boys whose pigs were inspected and
judged last week. 1t is possible that
some of these boys will have pigs
that will come up to the ton litter
class at the expiration of $50 days,
which is the time limit.
Eldon Picard, who lives north of
Bainville, and Cecil Nordman, living
east of Froid, have filters that I'M
doubtedly will be III this class. The
latter boy has a registered Duroc SOW
with IL pigs almost four months old,
with gain of pound day up to
that age, and with a record of all
feed which has been consumed. He
is one of the outstanding boys in the
club and the results of his project
would be hard to duplicate by any ex-
perienced hog breeder.
Eldon Picard is II years old and,
in addition to successfully raising 10
hogs from his litter, has been in
charge of, and the manager of IA oth-
err hogs on his fathers ranch. Eldon
takes care Of those "a hogs, waters,
feeds the best of rations, has five
acre sweet clover pasture and keeps
a record on his production, all of
which is necessary in successfully
raising hogs.
In addition to taking care of those
"a head of hogs, he is the corn farm
er for his father and cultivates prac-
tically all of Nh. Picards corn acre
age. While he is raising grade hogs
this year, he is much interested in his
project and states that next year he
is going to increase the quality of
his hogs and is assisting his father in
keeping over a good supply of breed
ing stock
Other boys who are in the pig club
in the east end of the county, but
who did not have as large Iitters as
those two boys, but deserve much
credit for the manner iii which they
have been conducting their projects
are: Donald Hordman, Melvin Han

FINE PAINTING
TOBE DISPLAYED
AT INGWALSON'S

Plentywocd will be indebted to the
lngwalsOn Co. this following week
from Wednesday, October 9Th to 18th
for seeing an original painting by a
New York artist, who has within the
last few years, won first rank for
himself and whose name is coming to
be favorable known not only in this
country but on the other side as well.
This painting, which will be on dis
play in the window of the Ingwalson
Company of this city from Wednes-
day, October 8th to 18th, is the work
Of Mr.. ThOs. Webb of New York and
fer which the Gordon Ferguson Co.
OF st. Paul paid Mr. Webb $1,0O0.OO
Mr.. Webb is also recognized as one
OF the foremost painters of serious
subjects. Recent covers of the Sat-
urday Evening Post and Ladies' Home
Journal by Mr.. Webb have attracted
very favorable comment.
1t is amazing indeed to see that
While the artist has treated his sub
Jects In a decorative mood for adver-
Using purposes his technical skill has
all the subtility and elusiveness of the
old masters.
The fact that Mr. Webb's paintings
command a price well over the $1,000
mark is the best proof of recognition
oy advertisers of the value of art in
advertising.
mgwalson & Co. who have the ex-
elusive sales of Gordon coats in Plen-
tyWood felt that this exhibit would
be very appropriate in connection
with their annual fur sale and have
persuaded Gordon & Ferguson to loan
TINS painting for a weeks exhibition
IN their window, October 8th to 18th.
