INGENIOUS YOUTH.

A Scottish gamekeeper found a
boy fishing in his masters private
waters. "You mustn't fish here %
he exclaimed. "These waters be-
long to the earl of A" "Do
they? l didn't know that" replied
the culprit; and, laying aside his
rod, he took up a book and COM
menced reading. The keeper depart
ed, but on returning about an hour
afterward he found the same youth
had started fishing again. "Do you
understand that this water belongs
to the earl of A" he roared.
"Why, you told me that an hour
ago" exclaimed the angler, in sur
prise. "Surely the whole river don't
belong to him? His share went by
long ago."

SOME STRICT GERMAN LAWS
Those Relating to the Importation Of
Foreign Wines and Liquors Are
Very Drastic.

Experiences of a correspondent of
a Nuremberg paper 60 to show that
German adulteration laws are dras-
tic. He says: GA French friend re-
Gently sent me four bottles of Bur
gundy. After paying the duty l was
informed that all wine coming from
abroad has to be analysed. As my
consignment included two kinds OF
wine, a double analysis was neces-
sary, and for this 1 paid a fee of
1924.
"At the end of week I received
(D a certificate stating that my
wine was pure; (2) the case in
which the bottles were sent. l was
also informed that two bottles had
been required to form the basis Of
each analysis and that consequently
there was no wine left.
81 am naturally grateful to the
state for the precautions taken to
guard my health, but cannot help
thinking l am entitled to the empty
bottles. Surely these were not also
analysed"

c. S. Raymond's article, THE

great reading. 1t is the story of
how members of the Illinois State

without parallel in the history of
this country.
Another great article in this maya

HEART BEATS AT A DISTANCE.

Of a patient in London were trans
mitted to the home Of John Milne,
the noted seismologist of the Isle of

The heart throbs were heard by
four physicians over an ordinary

transmission that it was possible to
diagnose the heart troubles.

teiiigent highway officials, all agree
that crude oil, when poured in an ex-
travagent manner upon the roads, is
actually injurious to the vehicles using
the highway. This is true not only Of
automobiles but also horse-drawn We
hicles, as the oil being thrown upon
the vehicles will-leave unsightly stains
unless speedily removed. Apart from
this, too much oil makes the road
dangerous to traffic, increasing the La
bility of skidding, and this practice
of soaking the roads freely with oil
has been abandoned by foremost engi-
neers."
The park officials in New York are
now using for road use an emulsion
composed of crude oil, having an as
phaltic base mixed with chip soap.
The method of preparing this mixture
will be freely furnished to highway
officials by the park authorities. The
success attained by this mixture dem
onstrates its value for other local
tiles. The park officials claim that it is
cheaper than sprinlling by water, as
one application lasts several weeks
and whatever slight odor may appear
passes away within an hour or two
after application.

AUTO EXPERTS STUDY
DUSTY ROADS PROBLEM

1t is a we'll known fact that auto
mobilists, as well as the residents
along the highways, are all anxious to
solve the dust problem in the most
feasible way, but this is not accom-
plished by putting barrels of crude oil
on the highways in an extravagant
manner, expecting that this will lay
the dust and make a fine road.
Many complaints have been re-
ceived at the Touring club of America
by automobilists who condemn this
reckless method OF oiling the roads by
some of the highway authorities. One
member who has experienced the
misery of driving over these ,oil-soaked
and sticky roads said:

ing to his Boise home from Salt Lake
City, he stated in Salt Lake he had a
talk with the General Attorney for
the Oregon Short Line. This at
torney stated that the o. S. L. would
build a road from Owinze to Rich
field, Camas Prairie and on to Boise
this season and that many millions
of dollars would be expended on it
The exact amount was mentioned by
the Judge but the figures have es-
capped the writer The surveyors
who have been camped at Richfield
a long time, finished their work there
and returned home for a short vaca-

they will start again at Burns. The
Oregon Short Line evidently intends
to beat all competitors through the
Camas Prairie and Lincoln County
will get a generous slice of the road.

much of the soil here has every
element necessary for plant life ex-

the soil through alfalfa and clovers.

You can grow great potatoes and
great apples in Idaho. The pros

on the alfalfa meadows.
more pork. hogs, mutton and

w. F. Baker, who for years has

The underlying principle of Mr.

he told his hearers, is the establish

Roads should be constructed and
maintained at least two years before
any attempt is made to apply ma

he told them. His reason for that
is that without a proper foundation,
