COUNTY HISTORY
Miss Cassie Holmes was
Kent this week ministering
There is a surprising amount of sentiment regarding the sick at that place.
Sherman county history in the county. People who have
lived in the county for comparatively short periods of time,
but who have listened to the tales told by the pioneers, are
anxious for stories of the earlier days. Here is an oppor
tunity for someone to compile and write a Sherman county
history.
The ranks qf those who made the history of fifty years
ago are rapidly being diminished and it will not be long
that the historian can find out authoritively the story of the
first thresher, the Sherar’s toll rpad, stage lines and the
many other interesting stories that could be woven into a
history of the county.
Because no one, has come forth and offered to do this
work, and the need persists, it might be that the school his
tory contest could be used to retain some of the fund oí
information now available. It is probable that the contest
would result in more useful information if each schcol was
given a subject by the school authorities, instead of being
al owed to choose from a large number of general topics '
There are some very good writers among our high school
students, however, the research necessaiy to writing a
chapter of history cannot be done in additiin to schcol work
unless a good deal of time is given to it- Those interested
in having historical facts accumulated and set down might
aid by helping the students obtain their facts. Unless some
one comes forward to undertake the work that is about the
only way the county’s history can be written.
VITTLES
Speaking of old fashioned things there’s the word vic
tuals and many of the moderns consider the word as out
moded as is the hitching rack in front of the court house
and like it not for that reason. It may be assumed that
vittles doesn’t mean lettuce leaves, mayonnaise and tuna
fish daintily placed between slicesof too thin bread Vittles
means grub, provender, food, of the kind men sat down to
in the days when they labored with scythe and spade.
It has a certain satisfying sound, but without daintiness
One would not say, for instance that one had a luncheon of
vittles. And since luncheon has attained precedence over
the more hearty dinner as a name for the noon iteal, vittles
has declined as a common word But it is all a part ol th«
changing custom in which we are becoming less the open
handed, cordial, rough and ready pit neer people and more
the civilized and decadent folk who are worried more about
the manner than the meat, the appearance than the fact

else is limited in the game why not limit the official to 20
toots or if tooting cannot be helped referees should be
trained to play “Old Black Joe” or seme other appropriate
tune on their instrument. The tempo would go well with
the modern game.
The United States will jcin nothing as long as Borah,
