Old Friend Invited.
It was learned today that mas.
much as the marines are not
going to take their old route to

airplanes several days ago.

under the auspices Of the American
Legion at the National Guard
Armory and one at the Catoctin
Country Club, have been arranged.

people attended the maneuvers Of
the marines, is said to be here this
year. Escorts to the parade, acting
as military police, are several COM
panies OF the Maryland National
Guard under the command of
Colonel D. j. Markey.

until Monday morning when they
will proceed to the battlefield Of
Antietam where two weeks will be

Holy Communion will be admins
tered at the morning service. The topic
for this service will be, "The Meaning

ening service, the theme will be a con
tinuation of the subject of Christian
stewardship, the topic being, "Self-
ishness Committing Suicide" This SER
mon has elected high commendation
from the PASTORS UNCONVENTIONAL
headquarters in Chicago, from which
place it is being circulated throughout
the country as notable contribution
to the great subject of Christian stew
ardship, which is now holding the cen
ter Of attraction in the leading denom-
nations
We are enjoying the excellent
weather. 1t is to be hoped that many
will take advantage of this fine
weather by attending Sunday school
and church. The question is not
whether you need the church, but
whether the church needs you. No
one has right to say, IT am only one
person; it makes no difference wheth-
er 60 or not BY your presence you
take your stand on the side of those
who want to do their bit toward the
building up of the Kingdom of God.
Human service is the task of the
church. If our church is not meeting
this requirement according to her abil-
ity, you are welcome to come and help
her meet it. Let all who believe in the
great task of saving souls be active
workers; not slackers. People do not
stay away from the church because
they are opposed to religion. Far from
it. But by some curious kink in their
mental process, non-church-goers fail
to perceive that if everybody followed
their example, the church would speed
lily pass out of existence. Every non.
attendant virtually votes for the elm
nation of the church from society.
And what would our social organism
be like if the church were abolishedf
Absenteeism from the ballot box and
and absenteeism from church are kin
dred failures in duty to society.
Thoughtful people stand by the church
because the church stands for the best
things. John A. Hoffman, Pastor.

CHANGE IN MAKING SCHOOL
LEVY.

The voters of independent class A
joint independent, joint independent
class A, rural high and joint rural
high school districts must assume re
sponsibility for making part of the
1evy for the maintenance and support
of the school, because of Section So
of Idaho School laws. This section
was passed by the seventeenth session
of the Idaho legislature and became
effective January l, 1924. This sec
tion does not involve any additional
levy, but changes the authority for
making it.
Under the previous law, the board
Of trustees in each of the above named
districts could make a levy Of 10 mills
for the maintenance and support of
the schools. If an additional levy
was needed, the trustees could apply
to the State Board of Education for
permission to make an additional levy
up to 5 mills. This made possible a
rs mill levy for maintenance and sup
port
Under the new law, the board of
trustees may levy 8 mills for main
tenance and support. If additional
levy is needed, the trustees must call
an election of the voters of the school
district At this election the voters
may make levy up to 7 mills. The
Z mills thus voted plus the 8 mills
levy made by the trustees make the Is
mills possible under the old law.
The levy for indebtedness and for
transportation remains in the hands
of the trustees as before.

Mr.. Bryan Tells It.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 24.-The
prohibition record of Senator Oscar
w. Underwood was attacked by Viii
liam J. Bryan here last night in one
of a series of addresses he is deliver
ing in Alabama in the interest of l.
B. Musgrove, candidate for president
in the Alabama primary.
After naming number of prohibi-
tion measures which he said Senator
Underwood had opposed, Mr. Bryan
declared:
"No man who fights prohibition for
25 years has any right to be the
president who enforces these laws
Touching the senate oil inquiry, Mr.
Bryan said:
ssE. L. Doheny is a small figure in
the republican party's history OF
graft. For generations they have sold
legislation to the highest bidder. 1t
is not an incident in our national life

do you think Doheny paid $4,000 in
to the campaign fund for if he did not
expect to get it backs"

AS TO EGG PRICES.

The following extracts from letter
sent by the Hazelwood Co., of Spo-
kane, to a local merchant, under date
of Feb. rs, will give better general
understanding Of the current price OF
eggs:
nWe believe this letter to our egg
shippers explaining the real market
conditions in Spokane may prove of
some value.
tOn February 18th the Spokane
houses were paying about 28c per doz.
en- for standard eggs and on February
21st were paying 19c per dozen. Many
of the Spokane houses have large
stocks ON hand which have cost them
anywhere from 25c to 28c per dozen.
1t seems impossible for the Spokane
houses to sell the stocks on hand, and
owing to the heavy losses suffered by
some of the people who put eggs in
storage last year, none of the Spokane
people seem willing to put eggs in
storage this early and at the present
prices.
"All dealers find that they must
grade their eggs very closely, and are,
therefore, buying on a loss off basis,
allowing 16 and 17c per dozen for pull
let's and soiled eggs and IL and 13e
per dozen for checks and bakers.
It is really necessary for the coun-
try shippers to carefully buy accord
ing to quality, and to got their pay
ing prices to the producers down to
a basis where they viii be able to ship
and receive even lower prices than are
being paid at Spokane today. Some OF
the Spokane dealers believe the prices
must get as low as from 15c to 17c
per dozen 4. 0. b. Spokane before they
viii be willing to put eggs in stor-
age"

That's what one farmer got last
year in the Moscow section, and his
land was left in prime condition for q
crop of wheat this year.
This is one item of the information
v. w. Platt of the Farmers State
Bank brings back after closeup in
vestigation he and Fred Turner, one
of our largest farmers, made in
Moscow last week. The information
obtained induced Mr.. Turner to buy
sufficient seed to sow so acres on his
big ranch southeast of town
The growing and marketing of peas
has become a leading industry around
Moscow. Washburn 6 Wilson have
the principal warehouse and handling
equipment there for this commodity,
and to them Messers. Platt and Turn
er applied for enlightenment. Last
year, which was favorable pea sea
son, the yield was cents per pound !
$54 per acre on the 80 bushel yield.
There the best results are obtained by
planting eorn-style SO that thorough
cultivation is possible. This leaves
the ground clean, and it is claimed a
larger crop of wheat can be raised on
such ground than on summer fallow.
The hand-picked, fumigated seed,
Mr.. Platt stated, is now selling at
cents o pound at Moscow--about 2 3-4
cents here. This quality of seed is
desirable since all foul stuff is elm
mated, and this is essential to success
full pea culture.
Mr.. Platt stated that he was in
formed that if sufficient pea acre
age was planted on the prairie, the
Moscow dealers would provide market
for the crop.
