WOULD NOTE MORSE
IMMIGRATION

A 2-cent postage stamp com
memorating the arrival Of first
shipload of immigrants from
Norway is proposed in a resolu.
ton introduced in the House by
Representative Kvale, Minnesota
independent. The Restauratio-
nen, which Kvale described as
the Mayflower Of the Morse, ar
rived in New York harbor 0cto-
Der o, 1925, with fifty-two immi-
grants aboard. Extracts from
Mr.. Kvale's resolution recite:
Whereas, there are now APP
proximately 100000 descen-
dants Of the Norsemen in the
United States, who have been an
important factor in contributing
to the moral and material well
fare of our nation; and
Whereas, the coming of the
sloop Restaurationen' is to be
commemorated by a centennial
celebration at Minneapolis,
Mimi. in June, 1925, and also is
to be observed throughout the
United States; therefor, be it
Resolved, by the Senate, and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, that the post

KNOWLEDGE OF LAW ~
NECESSARY

Frequently we hear the re-
mark that there are too many
lawyers in legislative hallsand
likely there is much merit to
that opinion as law-making boz
dies should not consist Of too
many Of any certain class or pro-
fession. But the fact that a GER
tain amount Of knowledge and
understanding Of law--whether
or not a person has taken the bar
examination or is known as an
attorney is necessary, can hard
ly be disputed. One reason per-
haps, why we have so many new
laws and in cases almost dupli-
cation of former statutes is be-
cause there is too little under
standing of present laws on the
part of new lawmakers especial
~ true in the case Of state legis-
lators.
The Farmer-Labor party was
likely organized TO give a more
square deal to farmers and the
bulk Of its members are sincere
in their purpose especially the
farmer members. But just while
we are on the subject of lawyers
in legislative halls then comes
one Of their candidates for gov
ernor Floyd b. Olson-an
scores a big hit with farmers.
Mr. Olson is at present county at
torney of Hennepin county and
appears to be a very able and
aggressive young man. II he
gets the nomination on the Far
mer.I.abor ticket he has a very
good chance of being the next
governor Of Minnesota.

TRY THE SOFT ANSWER

In Proverbs we read, "A soft
answer turncth away wrath: but
grievous words stir up anger"
Did you ever notice how COM
pletely a calm, soft answer took
the wind out Of the sails of one
who had been harsh with you,
abusing and denouncing you? He
didn't expect to receive a soft
answer and your superior manner
and calmness was probably con-
trary to his previous experience.
But its effect on him was like
that Of oil on troubled waters. II
Immediately soothed and disarm-
ed him, his resentment died
away. and he was his natural self
again.
When someone gets riled at
you and comes at you with
abusive words. whether it is for
something which is your fault
or not, your impulse is to resent
II and answer him in the same
sort of way, and tell him that il
he doesn't like il he can lump it.
But instead of doing that, sup
pose you take second thought,
and say: MIR. Blank, I'm sorry
il happened. 1t was wrong and
II shall not happen again"
The man will be completely
dumfounded by your gentle ac-
ceptance Of his harsh reproof. 1t
will take the ground out from
under him. and the chances are
ninety-nine out of a hundred that
he will apologize for having been
so severe with you.
Try the soft answer in the
home. See how quickly it will
soothe ruffled feelings and avert
a threatened storm in the family;
how il will clear the air and re-
store harmony when husband and
wife, or brother and sister, are
boiling over and ready to clash in

The bill. introduced by Repre-
sentative Edward E. Browne Of
Wisconsin, has the unqualified
support of the Minnesota Coop
erative Creameries' association.
In fact, introduction of the bill
is the direct result Of a visit re-
Gently made TO Washington by
John Brandt of Litchfeld, presi-
dent.
"Of all the bills that have been
introduced TO provide protection
for dairymen. this is the one that
should be passed" said Mr..
Brandt. 1T provides for higher
tariffs not only on butter but on
butter substitutes, fresh milk,
sour milk and buttermilk; cream
in proportion to its butterfat
content, condensed milk, evapor-
ated milk, milk powder. cheese
and substitutes therefore and
casein.
The present weak market for
dairy products is due entirely to
imports from Europe. Passage
of the Browne bill will restore
the dairy industry to a profitable
basis.
We favor the Browne bill be-
cause as an emergency measure
it will give immediate and ade-
quate relief. Efforts TO obtain
higher tariffs through the tariff
commission will not meet our
needs because such a step means
delay. | hope every dairy far
mer will write to his congress-
men asking passage of II. r.

LINDBEgGH RESPECTED

Without doubt Charles A

Mr.. Lindbergh showed great abil-

unselfish devotion to the peoples
interests was the outstanding
Characteristic Of his life.
MIR. Lindbergh," Mr.. Pike
said. has been criticized for
changing his political associa-

Plans Are Completed For

Relative to the Bruneau Round
Up, which will be held at that place
on October 2, and a the owyhee

AT a recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Legion, it was determined to
erect a dance pavilion OF sufficient
size 10 accommodate all who wished
to indulge. The floor will be 5Ox7O

overlap to provide room for specta-
tors and seats. It's interior viii be
equipped with electric lights. The
site chosen is the Noble strip OF
ground adjoining the Scout cabin,
which is to be leveled before the
heavy timber undepinning support
ing the dance floor is laid, and this
10 be made as firm as the builders
skill can make it. The wire fence
viii be entirely removed from the
two street frontages in order to ia
cilitate entry to the pavilion. Music
from the nightly dances following
the daily Roundup program has
been arranged for with a first grade
Boise orchestra.
It was the sense of the manage
ment that the second day Of the
Round-Up, be designated as Noun
tain Home Day and likely this viii
be made a formal order at later
meeting. such an announcement
may lead to a general holiday at
Mountain Hime or at least half

WEATHER FORECASTS
ARE NUMEROUS
Various Indications by Both
Whites and Indians on
the Character of the
Coming Winter

The lowering Of the thermometer
for the past week has led to many
predictions as to the character of
the forthcoming winter.
A light covering Of snow on the
higher ranges near Mountain Home
is taken by some to indicate an early
winter as It has been stated that this
is rare occurrence for this time of
the year. In Pocatello and American
Falls the snow on surrounding noun
tains was quite noticeable and at
Boise it could easily be seen from the
city.
The unusually heavy fur on the
coyote has lead trappers to begin to
set their traps in quest of the pelts.
The earliness Of the season for trap
ping and the satisfactory condition
OF the pelts is evident to some that
we may expect an early winter.
In sections where the pine nut
trees thrive, the Indians base their
weather pitulttAou1 Dh TIE 4uaheAey
OF the crop They believe that a
heavy crop augurs for light winter
and light crop indicates an early
and heavy winter. However last
year this theory was completely up
set as there was a very light crop of
nuts. followed by an open winter.
This year the crop is unusually
heavy consequently light winter is
the forecast However, in view OF
their discrepancy in last years pre-
dietion little credit is given the In
dian as a forecaster.

ity on weather conditions on the Pa
eifc Coast has predicted light vim
