HARVESTING COMMENCED AT
LEWISTON

Lewiston, June 30.-Unless shower.
prevail to prevent, harvesting of wheat
in the Lewiston Charleston valley will
be started today. K. o. Fem will
start combining ON his fall wheat
south of town and west of the or
chards this morning, while another
combine, that of G. E. Ingram in west
Charleston, is also expected to take to
the field. This is about two weeks
earlier than the normal year, so farm
ers and grain dealers advise.
Other harvesting viii be started in
the valley between now and July A.
1t is well known that the yield in the
lower levels of the valley is not to be
very great, but considerable more
acreage viii be harvested, as the re-
suit of the recent rains, than was
thought possible.
Harvesting in the Tammany region
is about a week away, while some of
the grain ON the Lapwai road will be
ready by the Fourth of July or soon
afterward. H. p Barnes will harvest
his crop south of town as soon as he
finishes on the Fem field, while the
Nichols ranch, south of the reservoirs,
will be ready to combine.
The sale of sacks this year has been
rather unsteady, dealers report. They
attribute this to the uncertainty of the
weather and the yield in all sections.
Prices have been ranging around 10
cents for Calcutta bags, and IL cents
for the domestics. Prices on bags last
season ran about Is and IA cents.

THE Spread on RADIO

Few persons need to be told how
rapidly radio is interpenetrating every
part of our daily life A writer has
contributed to the June Century a
most comprehensive article yet writ
ten.
More than 100000, perhaps as
many as 100000, radio sets have been
manufactured and sold in the last three
years in this country, with $50 broad
casting stations in operation in our
United States, and 10000 amateur
transmitters send and receive messages
by radio.
According to engineers of the Radio
Corporation, 5000 manufacturers are
turning out sets or parts of sets, thirty

Reflections Of a
Bachelor Girl

lTT WISHES were horses, every nor
l NAL woman would Immediately
wish" they were automobiles. You
can't cheat woman out of her divine
light to be "discontented."
When Solomon walled, "Feed me
with apples and stay me with fiagons,
Tor am sick of lover he was either
lust recovering from grande passion,
or trying to escape "petting party"
Many a girl tempts man to make
love to her, just In order to brighten
up his conversation, when she feels
herself about to yawn-
There are only two vital causes OF
the failure of any marriage: one Is the
husband; the other is the wife.
To make an ideal lover, take the dar-
ing of soldier, the imagination OF
poet, and the tenderness of a mother;
but to make an ideal husband, you will
have to substitute caution for daring,
generosity for Imagination, and then
add an income and motorcar.
Love fits a woman's heart like
glove; but it fits mans heart like his
clothes, always loosely enough for him
to turn around in and look for-an-
other love.
Marriage is the end Of girls trou-
bIes, trials and problems; but it isn't
until after the wedding that she dis
covers WHICH end.
When man marries rich woman
for her money, he soon begins to re-
gard her kisses as Income tax'-and
to look around for few exemptions"

THE "KIDDERs. y

Nezperce is the county seat of
Lewis county naturally. 1t win be
the county seat long after some of our
children s children have gone to con
gress and back again.
1t is not strange that other points
would like to be the county seat. It
is human nature to want things, else
there would be no fun in the game of
life.
Craigmont has her problems, SO has
Nezperce-real, man-sized problems,
the solution of which means hard
work. A diversion is necessary; some
thing to kid ourselves along with and
play at. This county seat matter is
just as good as anything else for the
purpose. Rumor says that legisla
tive ticket is part of the program this
year, and why mott 1t pleases the kid
ders. The right combination (f elect
ed) might urge the legislature to en-
able the annexation to our already
fine little county of portion of Ida
no county say, the Ferdinand district
and portion of Nez Perez county
say, the Melrose district-and that
would make our circumference stick
out paunchily north and south of
Craigmont.
OF course, all this will not advance
the price of wheat nor bring timely
rain, but it provides DEPRESSION from
the daily job of gathering bread and
butter and little jam.

his father, TT you onry G1dn't always
take things for granted ]"
When Adam grew up he promised
himself that at least he would never
give his wife that cause for bitterness.
So during his early married life ne
made a point of seeing and appreciat-
ing her efforts and sacrifices.
The years passed. When the eldest
of their three children was nfteens
Adam realized that their actual in
come, though ample, was not equal 10
the income he had planned for this
point when contemplating matrimony.
Then one evening he pursued what
now was his custom. and retired I'M
mediately after dinner with his news
paper and his cigar to the room thar
was called his "den." Contrary to
custom his wife followed him. Then
he knew suddenly how much water
had flowed under the bridge since they
had been married For to her new
dress that she had made herself, and
to the fact that this was the anniver-
sary of their wedding ito all this he
had been duly blind. He asked him
self If little appreciation might not
help all round.
The next morning at the Office Adam
found his best salesman waiting for
him. He made point of mentioning
an intelligent piece of business Of the
preceding month. The man looked
pleased, but 1t was only later that
Adam learned that this expression of
appreciation had actually influenced
the man not to accept the offer of a
change from another firm. That same
day Adam took pains to thank Gus
toner for prompt payments, and the
next morning new order came In the
mail. On another evening at home his
small boy brought in a good report
from school. When Adam put his
pleasure into words his son looked sur
prised, but the next month there was
a better report still. He became con-
scious above all of what life would
have been to him without his home,
and of the impossibility of his home
without his wife's dull daily routine.
After that there was no question OF
his appreciation, and with appreciation
It seemed as If a miracle had hap
pened-so stimulating and successful
was his work, so happy and full Of
pleasant possibilities his family

ion.

The Romance Of Words
"aRAss WIDOW"

THIS term-which In America
\ Is bestowed either upon di-
! yorced wife or to one who Is
separated from her husband but
in England is used to designate
a discarded mistress or an I'M
) married mother--is claimed by
some to have been derived from
) grace widow" woman who Is
a widow by grace or courtesy
but not by fact.
While plausible, this explana-
ton Is not the true one. The
term started with the colloquial
rural expression in England Of
"grass mare'-meaning a horse
which has been turned out to
pasture. At first, even on the
other side of the Atlantic, 1t bore
no reproach, being applied to
any woman who was living
apart from her husband. The
wives Of army officers or navy
captains were known as grass
widows, until the term finally
fell into disrepute. Before this
occurred, however, 1t had been
imported into the United States
and first came into general use !
at the time of the California .
gold strike in 1849, when many ,
wives were left at home while .
their husbands sought wealth in
the West.

THAT SETTLES THAT.

This is the season when the Demo-
cratic donkey is most apt to show
what an ass he is. The party has an
almost limitless choice of fatal mis-
takes. 1t has not a single potential
nominee who is in the same class with
Coolidge or Dawes in respect of public
recognition of his worth. Out of the
evil six months of cowardly and I'M
principled politics in Washington has
emerged, by the blessing of Provi-
denee, Republican ticket, Coolidge
and Dawes, for which every self-re-
speeding citizen in the country can
vote and feel the better citizen for
doing so.--The Wall Street Journal
Anyway, Wall Street is satisfied
with the ticket it made, and, of course,
the rest of us ought to be.
ss-e-e-s-s-e->~s-s.
This is anything but an open season
for road and public improvement
bonds of any form, description or
character. If the proposition calls for
more taxes and the people are given
an opportunity to express themselves
on it, their answer is "No' by
large majority. They figure that is
one sure way of preventing increase
in the tax budget, and the desirability
of the thing for which the bonds are
to be issued enters very slightly into
the case.
There was time when the saying
that democrats are like cats-more
fighting, more Democrats might
properly apply to big convention of
that party; but not this time. The
wrangle in the National convention at
New York comes when there seemed to
be glimmer of hope for the party $
success, if it could have stepped into
the arena with harmonious front.
