A Hot Shot

A story is told of a newspaper
editor in one of the idaho villages
who had the joke on a citizen Of his
own town not long since The citizen
and his family are great admirers Of
the mailorder store and buy all of
their goods in the east. A few weeks
ago a daughter OF the house got mar
ried and the entire bridal parapher-
MALTA, including the invitations was
purchased in the big city. The day
after the wedding the brides father
brought the newspaper office a long
account OF the event, but when the
paper appeared it contained nothing
about the wedding but an announce
ment of three or four lines. Mex
day the citizen called at the news
paper Office to demand an explana
ton why the report of the wedding
had not been printed. ooh, that's al
right" said the editor. you'll prob
ably find it in the National Cloak
Suit Co.'S. spring catalog.-Ex.

VEHICLES MUST
BE EQUIPPED
WITH LANTERNS
State Law in Oregon Res
quires all Horse-Drawn
Vehicles to be Provided
with Lamps,

There is now in effect a state law
in Oregon requiring all horse-drawn
vehicles as well as motor cars, to be
equipped with lanterns. A portion of
House Bill No. 81, now effective
reads as follows;
During the time from one hour af=
ter sunset until one hour before SUM
rise, all vehicles except motor cars,
shall be required to display but one
lighted lamp, such lamp to be placed
on the front of the vehicles SO that il
shall be visible 100 feet in the dirce-
ton in which the vehicle is proceed-
ing. and show red lights on the rear"
The horse editor confesses his ina
bility to arrive at any conclusion as
to the number Of lights to be carried
The law says, "but one lighted lamp"
and this is carried in front of the ve-
hicle. Now, how red lights are to
be shown in the rear without lamps
being lighted or without there being
more than one, is where it downs rhe
horse editor.-Baker City Democrat.
1t is quite evident to the common
herd" however that, the enactors of
this law were not only color blind,
but unable to comprehend whether
rays of light reflected horizontally,
perpcndicularly or otherwise.-Jor=
dan Valley Express.

'While the feeling of the great ma
iority Of the people of Idaho is now
in favor Of the system l have pro-
posed and carried forward, l fully
believe that sentiment will be prac-
tically unanimous in January next.
In the final analysis of the matter it
IS the amount which each citizen
much pay as taxes, not the amount
at which his property is assessed, that
controls. say now, as l frequently
tated in my campaign upon that is
sue. that in spite of the increased
amounts necessary TO be raised for
governmental purposes, the average
citizen of Idaho will this year pay
ess tax money on the same property
han he did for 1909 or 1910 The
favored few who cannot now as here
ofore, shift part Of their tax burdens
upon the shoulders of their neigh
bors, will, Of course, pay more.

It's Pretty Dry

Here's some dry reading from an
anti-prohibition paper printed in
Kansas. "It is so dry in Kansas thai
the wagons are going around with
their tongues out ice has to be soak
ed in water all night before it is
wet enough to make lemonade. The
catfish kick up such dust in the bed
of the river that the river must be
sprinlded so that you can go fishing
A spark from an engine set fire to a
pond and burned up lot of bull
frogs before the fire could be extin-
guished, and the ground is so dry and
hard that crawhsh holes in the low
places are being pulled up and useC

that there are bullfrogs here two yeari

LITTLE DOING IN SALES
OF REALTY HERE NOW.
LuII Follows Big Business OF Summer
In Sumter County.

Americas realty dealers report d
lulI in sales of farming land and city
property as well just now, in contrast
to the rush business of the past sum-
mer, when every day had its record
OF sales effected. While there are
INQUIRIES for property here, the act
ual consummated sales the past
few weeks have been by no means
numerous. There is no decline in val
ues, however, and local dealers expect
a resumption OF good business ere
long both in the sale OF city and
farming properties. The low price
of cotton has mad it's effect uJon the
real estate market as in other
lines, and this has been especially
true as regards farm sales.
