Well, here am back again, safe
and sound and I'll bet you never
knew that was away. Amt that
just like man? Here / worried
for two weeks about what the
people around here would do if
/ went away and just how they
could get along without me and
here I've been gone about a week
and not a soul missed me except
my immediate family and they
were glad for the rest and peace
And then there are some who
think it would make a difference
who was elected president. Why
half the folks would never know
who is president the next four
years if some one didn't tell them
Now didn't want to run this
into politics quite SO quick but dc
you remember when every voter
wore little tin picture OF his
favorites upon the lapel of his
coat. All that is past now. Meth
/ er is it necessary any more to ask
man his politics. You can tel
the Democrats by the way they
look at the post office as they
walk by.
You have no doubt heard about
the one armed man with hives and a
lot more unfortunate people that
every one felt sorry for but can
you think of any thing more nerve
racking than to be real old line

like this? Shall we vote according
to our ideas and politics or shall
we strive to glorify the good OLD
family name?
Yes. 1 have been back to the
world famous Palouse Country
the land Of much wheat and say
/ am glad / went. After three long
contented years in the Kenne-
wick valley I had began to dream
dreams of former days, but after
spending three days Their am
content to spend more years here.
If you ever hear me kick about
this valley, just make up your
mind am a little drunken Cor
more sober as the case may be)
than usual. Those Palousers are
all crazy. Yes sir, stark raving
mad, And the agricultural COLI
leges are to blame for it. They
advised the farmers to raise some
alfalfa.
Now imagine a man with crop
of wheat and patch of Alfalfa
in the month of. June when the
hay must be cut and put up and
the wheat must have rain. just
try to figure this out. Believe
me little learning is danger

AUTO MAKERS USE
 BOATS MUCH MORE
Find Water Transportation Is
 Decidedly Cheaper

Detroit. June 15. R-The quest for economy in freights rates-one of the leading factors sought by De- troits great motor industry is turning stea dlly toward Great Lakes transportation.
 Each new years sees an inCreas- ing number of automobiles shipped from Detroit docks by automobile ferries, freighters and ore carriers as competition with the railroads rises. This year, Great Lakes ship. ping officials say, will see the larg- est number of automobiles ever slipped moving through the lake regions to key cities on the lake shores.
 The newest scheme utilzes "waste space" on frelghters It en1bod,es plan for leasing deck space on ore carriers returning to Duluth and Superior points after the ore has been unloaded at De- tro.t. The boats will return from Detroit laden with automobiles. some of them carrying as many as 500 cars. Several companies have been organized to transport auto mobiles by this means
 Next to Detroit. Cleveland has become the greatest automobile distributing point in the world More than 5o."oo automobiles will be shipped from single lakeside pier during the ptesent navigation season, all Of them ferried from De trolt Via Lake Erie. One steamship company alone operates daily boats to Cleveland with capacity of 500 cars, Overnight service is main talned and cars loaded onto the carriers at night are delivered to the dealers at the pier in Cleve- land next morning.
 Boats from Detroit have an aver age of eight and one half months shipping time to Cleveland and Buffalo, On the northern lake routes to Milwaukee. Duluth and Chicago the navigation period is q month less, An average Of four trips a week. Nlth from 500 to 4oo cars trip, is made by one com rany over the northern route Other Carrlers make weekly trips
 The dangers of shipping automo- blles by water. always a great fac tor in the past. are being reduced by new loading and handling ap- pllnces. Only one loss has been reported this year in lake shipping, when carrier ran into a wind and sleet storm early in the shipping season, Ice formed on the decks and in the gale and pitching of the ship o1 cars broke loose from their holdings and skidded overheard.

 Far from being 3 trivial joke. this matter has become a problem of farreachlng significance for the sellers of hot dogs. and even more so for the thousands of folk abroad at night, coming off night duty with q craving to get on the outside of something substantial as they run.
 Daily at the hour Of a. m, with the concomitant closing of cafes and bars draws near, legions of e-aproned and white-Capped purveyors of hot sausasos may be seen hurrying in all directions to reach their respective points Of business vantage, each with a brightly polished brass or nickel combination stove and cassarol cm- anatine strong. savoury odors strapped to his hip.
 But at no time are these night dealers in Fra ankturtcrS '--called "Wurs'maNe" in the Berlin yernac- ular--ln such demand as during the night from Saturday to Sumo E when alter l d. m. the police are adamant iE chewing them off the streets becaus.s of the Sabbath reg ulations forbidding the sale of all edibles.
