finds itself face to face with frost and

Let us consider next that the bird

and has found a place Of warmth aod

A yacht race the like of which has

THEY WON'T QUIT SELLING.

God help the country when it sees
the unavailing tears of stalwart men.
This is an incident that came to pass
In Marshalltown in the office of one of
the T.-R. editors. A district judge, gray
with years, scared by a half century
of court practice, came into the office
Saturday. His face was working with
repressed feeling and as he sat down
his cheeks and trickled into his short
gray beard. Its simply HE'LL he
broke out. ST have just sent to
Knoxville for inebriacy upon the re-
quest of his mother and am thinking
of her and his sister and wondering

other way. I asked these women who
told me their story as we'll as they
might thru their grief and tears; and
they said No, there is no other way.
They won't stop selling it, they won't
stop selling to him. What are those
women to do? I'm thinking of that boy
and his mother"
That is all the story. The boy is at
Knoxville at the end of short career
which opened with promise and bright
ened the mothers face with hope for
him and the prospect of a happy old
age for herself. The mother is alone
and hopeless in her sorrow and the
cruelist disappointment that can come
to any heart, the disappointment of
motherhood in its own.
And they are selling. "They won't

LOSS OF SERVICES


While on appellants train, the wife
OF appellee in indianapolis & NJ. Rapid
Transit Company VS.. Reeder, IS North
eastern Reporter 1912. received intur-
les which caused her death in about a
year. The action was brought not for
the death, but for the deprivation of
services, society. and companionship,
and the sums expended in an effort to
cure her. In the lower court plaintiff
recovered $4,000. The Appellate Court
of Indiana reversed the cause, holding
that, as the action was brought for
various items incapable of exact meas
urement, the verdict was excessive, and
must have been rendered because the
jury considered the loss to the appellee
of his wife. and not the mere loss of her
services and companionship for the
brief period Of one year.

hours as the basis Of day, and sought
to recover one-sixth Of IS, or SO cents,

on another 1917. The Supreme Court
of Wisconsin held that no amount in

Nothing to it.

camps were established last week
at Coanaughton S place, Plowman S
and John Jenson's, with instruc-
tions to survey and begin work on
cutoff of the Canyon canal to be
placed on the first and original sur
vey from Connaughton's across the
fat to near the cemetery and thence
west down Sqauw creek, thereby
eliminating tunnels Nos l and 2
and about two miles of fume."
The Sentinel is mistaken. No
orders have yet been issued for the
work mentioned above. Future
operations on the canal depend
upon the result of the investiga-
tions now being made By engineers
and the outcome of a conference
between the Canvon canal company
and the Water Users association.
The only work now being done is
the construction of latefals on the
bench.

It's a cold day when Emmett
does not capture first prize at the
national expositions. To the gold
medal at Portland for peaches and
a loving cup for the same fruit at
the National Irrigation Congress at
Boise three years ago has been
added the highest prize awarded an
exhibit of needlework at the

The exhibit is the haDdiwork of
Mrs. w. ]. Van Limbaugh of this
city. and was displayed in the
Idaho building, where it was the
admiration of all who saw it. A
letter received this week from the
hostess in charge of the building
states that the judges have decided
to award the exhibit the ''highest
prize in the power of the officials
to bestow.' Mrs. Van Limbaugh
has received f1attering offers from
parties who desire to purchase
the entire display, but has refus-
ed to sell it. She is to be con-
graduated.

A FINE FAIR EXHIBIT
Emmett Country Makes Good
Showing of Products.

Emmett is represented at the
county fair this week by splendid
exhibit of farm products and fruit.
John Dewey left Monday morning
with the collection, and Mrs.
Warden and Mrs. Heath are look
ing after the fruit display. This
mornings Statesman gives the ex
hibit the following complimentary
notice:
The Emmett exhibit occupies a
large space and is complete with
grain, grasses, fruit and vegetables.
Watermelons are shown weigh
ing over 80 pounds. cantaloupes of
large size and fine flavor are also
much in evidence. The growing
of these two products commercially
is new departure in the Emmett
section, but that it soon promises
to assume larger proportions is
shown from the fact that more than
20 carloads were shipped from there
this season. Carrots are shown
that measure over two feet in
length, and other vegetables in
proportion. Some of the finest corn
ever shown in the state is i'll this
exhibition. This has been the
best year for corn for many years.
Stalks 16 feet in height with tive
and three large, we'll matured ears
are shown that would be credit to
the famous corn belt of the central
west. Several fields ale reported
that will make 100 bushels to the
acre. Here are shown some OF the
finest ouions on the grounds,
samples from a field that yield
12,000 pounds TO the acre. On
grapes some remarkably hne speci-
mems are shown, California varie-
ties that are as hne as any grown
in their native state. Several va
rieties of sweet potatoes are shown
that for size and smoothness would
favorably with those
grown in any locality.

Five Legged Sheep

George Newman will have on
exhibition at the Boise stair a
specimen of his new breed of sheep
"a FIVE legged animal with three
fat, juicy forequarters and two
hindquarters. The extra leg sticks
out in front between the two natur-
al legs. George had been reading
about the success Of Burbank S
efforts in crossing the nightshade
and the sagebrush and producing
the wonderberry, SO he decided to
experiment with his sheep with
the object of breeding an animal
with an extra leg SO that it could
fight off the coyotes without stop
ping to feed. He crossed Dad
Powers wooden leg with a fine
Merino eve and the offspring turn
ed out be the FIVE legged, club foot
ed lamb which he will take to the
fair.

Cost of Poor Roads

To haul ton of freight over a
macadam road costs eight cents a
mile Yet the 200 million tons of
farm produce hauled to the rail-
roads cost, last year. on an average,
twenty-three cents per mile. This
is he computation of the Washing
ton bureau of statistics. The differ
ence between eight cents and
twenty three cents is the price the
country pays for poor roads. 1t
amounts to more than 800 million
dollars annually. A good road is
as much matter of economy as
anv labor machine that was ever in
vented. To take a big load quick
ly TO market means the ability to
handle Larger crops at less expense.
Farmers need good roads more than
any other class; they suffer from
bad roads more than any other
class.
