POOR PIE EATERS AT WASHING.
TON OBJECTS OF PITY
Last of Republican Attaches Leave
to Give Way to Democrats at House
End of Capitol.

Washington, May 9.-Today's dis
tribution of blue envelopes to old
house employees practically eliminates
all of the old hands, who, under a
Republican regime, have been feeding
at Uncle Sans pie counter. Over
3OOemployes, many of whom had
been attached to the government
payroll for from 10 to 25 years, have
been discharged, and their places
were taken by Democratic appointees.
Most of the younger men employed
in various capacities in the service OF
the representatives and about the
house end of the capital, in expecta-
ton of the blow that has fallen, have
found other positions, or have fitted
themselves for the practice of the law
or the patent business, or other trades
or professions. A great many elderly
men, however, too aged to adapt
themselves to new work in the busy
world outside the capitol, have a
months salary and little else with
which to face the future.
Those who had charge of allotting
the patronage are, as one gentleman
expressed it, "all-fired glad" that the
job is completed. Slicing the pie on
the majority counter, it is declared,
is no easy task, when there are three
or seventeen applicants loudly shrek
ing for each place, and swearing to
put the party out of business If they
don't get it.

stand.

Garden Notes
H. w. DIKEMAN

With early cabbage coming from
the south it does not pay to raise any
for market in the central or northern
sections of the country. However, for
home use, it is cheaper to grow
them than to buy them.
May is planting month and many
things may be sown and planted this
month.
All plants require ventilation, con-
sequently the ground should be fire.
quently stirred and loosened.
AS soon as the ground is warm,
cucumbers, melons and cantaloupes
should be planted.
Large-vined varieties of peas should
have a support of some kind. Poul-
try netting is good.
A good way to mark off a row is
to run a wheelbarrow over the
ground, running the wheel as near
the center of the ridge as possible.
When transplanting such plants as
cabbage, cauliflower and celery, by
cutting one-half of the leaf surface,
loss from wilt may largely be avoided
In each hill of beans plant some
tall-growing variety of corn. After
it comes up, thin out all but the
most vigorous cornstalk. The bean
vines will Irvine around the stalk as
well as they will around poles.
Cucumbers. gourds and other
plants may be grown in egg shells
in the house. AS soon as the ground
is warm enough, they may be easily
transplanted, the shell being broken
away witho the dirt falling from
the roots.
Seeds with hard skins which are
slow of termination should be soaked
in warm water from two to twelve
hours. Sow the seeds at once upon
removing from the water.
Corn dipped into a solution of coal
oil and Kerosene before planting will
not be pulled up by crows.
One of the most experienced to-
mato growers in Texas was asked how
much it cost to raise an acre of to-
matoes, and his reply was: Till a
man knows how, about $50 an acre;
after he learns the trick, about half
that"
SCOT sprinkled around plants will
XII many insects, besides enriching
he soil.

"Hens is Hens"

pigs is pigs" That fact was de-
termined some time ago by a bit of
fiction. But hens is hens" is now
determined by a bit of fact.
A carload of hens was recently
shipped over the Santa Fee from New
ton, Kan, to Los Angeles. When the
car reached it's destination there was
a carload of hens and three cases of
eggs.
Obviously here was a hard shell to
crack. Freight was paid only upon
hens, which are live stock. Eggs, in
the opinion the checking clerk,
were not live stock.
The traffic department of a rail-
road has mind for statistics, but
here was poser. So the legal de-
partment was called in. Was an egg
laid en- route eX post tacto or a
priori? The only answer of the ship
per was that he paid freight on hens
and would not pay freight on any
thing the hens might do.
The most extraordinary thing
about the whole incident was that the
legal department could find no way
out of the scramble Unable to force
collection they finally ruled that the
railroad company could not levy
freight charges on natural increase
en- route.
So it remained for the cackle of the
hen to rout the resourcefnl legions of
the modern railroad.

The Mackrave Company Makes Good

The Mackrave company, that played
here last week, returned for two en-.
gagements this week and were greet.
ed with good houses as they richly
deserved
First they presented Alaska" a
story of the mad race for gold in the
northland, with touches of the real
things as they oc ur amid Oh condi-
tions. 1t was a show with a good
moral, and lots of fun injected by
the funny man.
On Monday evening they presented
Polly of the Circus" which proved
to be rare treat. 1t was made the
more realistic by having real band
to play at the proper places and in
the closing scenes they were on the
stage to supply their part in connec-
ton with the rest of the things that
belong to circus.
On Tuesday evening they presented
The Squaw Man." and brought out
that sad sweet story with its attend
ant moral and its delightful surprise
near the close
The Mackrave company will be re-
by the theatre going pub
lie of Blackfoot, and when they come
again they will play to good house.

ALL MY PIMPLES GONE
Girl Tells How BIotchy Skin Was
Cleansed BY a Simple Wash.

~ WAS ashamed Of my face" writes
Miss Minnie Pickard OF Altamahaw,
N. G. 1T was all full Of pimples and
scars. but after using d. D. d. Pre-
scription can say that now there ia
no sign of that Eczema. and that was
three years ago"
D. ID. d. has become SO famous as
4 cure and instant relief in Eczema
and all other serious skin diseases,
that its value is sometimes overlooked
In clearing up rash, pimples, black
heads, and all other minor forms of
skin impurities.
The fact is, that while D. d. D. is
so penetrating that it strikes to the
very root of Eczema or any other seri-
GUS trouble, the soothing OH of Winter
green, Thymol and other Ingredients
are so carefully compounded there is
no wash for the skin made that can
compare with this great household
remedy for every kind Of skin trouble.
D. d. D. is pleasant to use, perfectly
harmless to the most delicate skin,
and absolutely reliable. A 25-cent
bottle will give you positive proof Of
the wonderful effectiveness Of this
great remedy.

BUSHES AT THE LAND OFFICE

During the month of April 1927
homestead entries were made at the
Blackfoot Land Office, aggregating
1S,445 acres, and "a final proofs were
made, applying for patents to3341
acres.
A small tract of land lying about
Is miles west of Blackfoot was set
apart as admissible for entry under
the Enlarged Homestead Act of June
II, 1910, and number of settlers
who made other filings upon this land
withdrew them and used the Enlarg-
ed Homestead right, which enables
them to hold it without living upon
it, but simply living within twenty
miles of it and cultivating some Of
1t. The act provides that 800, 900
acres of Idaho land may be entered
under this act, and the particular
land subject to entry will be desig-
mated from time to time as they are
selected.
A higher regard for lands is shown
In the increasing activity among en-
trymen. for those who do not comply
strictly with the provisions of the
law find their rights contested to an
extent that did not exist until recent
years. Since June 1909 there have
been 612 contest cases in this office.

THE SENIOR PLAY

On Thursday night, May IS, the
seniors will give their annual com.
mencement play. The selection this
year is the heaviest play ever attempt.
ed by the high school people, but
the unusually large senior class, as
sisted by the former stars. George
Dore and Stull Wright, promise ia
make the undertaking a notable sue
cess.
The play is story of home in
North Carolina, where Mrs. Rogers,
who was reared in Elizabethville, un-
der the cultural influence of two
stores, courthouse and jail, rules
with an iron hand, domineering Mr..
Rogers and her daughter, Esmeralda,
who have been deprived of the ad-
vantages that she has enjoyed. Dave,
a young farmer of sterling character,
in love with Esmeralda, is discarded
by Mrs. Rogers, who, when streak
of fortune makes them rich, moves to
Paris and endeavors to make match
for Esmeralda with mercenary
French marquis. The Rogers family
suddenly become poor and Dave rich.
Mr. Rogers, who for 25 years has
ben submissive, makes stand against
his wife, triumphantly bringing the
young lovers together. Many of the
scenes present pictures of pathos and
beauty of sentiment which only the
great authoress, Mrs. Burnett, can
paint, while the old backwoods man,
Mr.. Rogers in Partisan society can
not fail to keep the audience in good
humor.
Although the commencement ex-
penses will be heavy this year, tn
high school is determined to keep the
prices of the programs as low as it
| is possible to make them Accord
ingly the admission Thursday night
will be 10c, zoe and soc.
