Those who in these latter days think them- selves swindled when paid now prevailing prices by grain deat- ers established at their very doors, might well ponder the situation of their pioneer prede- cessors in the wheat growing in- dustry of Idaho county. Those old timers, generally, were in- dustrious and frugal, their wants were few and easily satis- fied, they were in the main happy. A few were discontent- ed and moved to other localities where they continued discon- tented; most of them remained. content with their lot, and they prospered. More, they made sure the foundation of the agri- cultural preeminence of region in which they labored un- complainingly. Those successfui, early-day farmers were devout believers in the saving gospel of hard work. They lived within their means, had little time for finding fault with conditions and never dream ed of begging Uncle Sam or any- one else to guarantee a high price for their products. They were agricultural trail-blazers unafraid of toil, self reliant and | determined to conquer the wil- derness whose possibilities they sensed if they did not realize in full measure. Well might their He | successors emulate the example and be inspired by the same as- suming faith in this country’s high destiny that animated those sturdy empire builders.—Koos- kia Mountaineer. A bullétin reels setacd by the U. S. Department of agricul- ture informs us that the average yield per acre of wheat in the United States is 18 bushels per acre. The Inland Empire is more fortunate and has an aver- age of 18: bushels per acre. How many farmers on Camas would be satisfied with either the 18 o1 18 bushel averages? And one mu&t consider that many farm- ers in the United States do not even get this yield. The old saying, the more we get the more we want; how true it is after all and it applies to all of - | us, Match manufacturer in the United States consumed $13,- 240,000. worth of lumber and other products during 1921 in the making of matches. The product had a value of $30,274,- 000 and 5,800 people were em- ployed, Twenty-two concerns were engaged in match manufac- But not near as expensive as the match between Dempsey and Gibbons and if one was freezing to death the result of both no doubt would keep one warm for a short time at least. There were pisbably not many people who thought when the prohibition law was passed that the time would come when its enforcement. would bring a dis- Ue pute with foreign nations over the amount to be carried by foreign ships entering American ports. Evidentally they are working under the policy that | it costs no more to come across with a full load then half empty. And then again its a good way for some of them to pay their if war debts to Uncle Sam. Lewiston’s Woaihan prophet, X Y Z surely has been calling the turn on weather conditions on Prairie. How large a sum of money it would take to /25-5 the’ buy him off we are unable to say, Babe Ruth’s oaliag: for knock- ing home runs is $4,333 a month. Not so bad when one considers that the average persons works for two long years to earn this small sum. Recently the weatherman dem- onstrated that he does have in stock some excellent varieties that are calculated to please the public as a whole. TAX! TAX! Tax the people, tax with care, To help the multi-millionaire. Tax the farmer, tax his fowl, Tax the dog and tax his howl, Tax his ‘hen, and tax her egg, And let the bloomin’ mudsill beg. Tax his pig, and tax his squeal, Tax his boots, run down at heel; Tax his horses, tax his lands, Tax the blisters on his hands. Tax his plow, and tax his clothes, Tax the rags that wipes his nose, Tax his house, and tax his bed, Tax the bald spot on his head. Tax the ox, and tax the ass, Tax his ‘Henry,’ tax his gas; Tax the road that he must pass, And make him travel o’er the grass. Tax his cow, and tax the calf, Tax him if he dares to laugh, He is but a common man, so Tax the cuss, just all you can. Tax the lab’er, but be discreet, Tax him for walking on the street. Tax his bread, and tax his meat, Tax his shoes clear off his feet, Tax the payroll, tax the sale, Tax all his hard-earned paper kale. Tax his pipe, and tax his smoke, Teach him gov’ment is no joke. Tax their coffins, tax their shrouds, Tax their souls beyond the clouds. Tax all business, tax the shop; Tax their incomes, stocks ; Tax the living, tax the dead, Tax the unborn, before they are fed. Tax the water, tax the air, Tax the sunlight, if you dare. Tax them all, and tax them well, Tax them to the gates of hell. But close your eyes, so you can’t see, The coupon clipper go tax free. —Don Lupton. FARM JOURNAL SAYS Neyer go toa boats house for wool, When I argue with a fool there are two of us, The way of the backslider is full of splinters, Contentment consists not in great wealth, but in few wants. The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at a time. Many a man has dled of heart dis- ease brought on by worry over his heart. If your horses shy when your hired man goes near, get another man, Ambition {s always commendable, but when it gets topheavy it Is like a fat man on a banana peel. Put every tool in its place; the dull ones by the grindstone. Or, if you have power, by the emery wheel.
