he has been guilty Of public brawls
cheating at cards, beating women, de-
frauding creditors and expulsion from
clubs. The minister, Of war says that
Palermo was not dismissed from the
service because his disreputable char
acter was not known to the war ONCE

THEY WANT BRICK.

The Chsllis Messenger says thee
is need of bricks in that town, and
analyses the question this way:
Challis was started in 1877, and
up to this time there mas never been
brick bulnd in this valley, and we
have plenty Of good clay here to
make bricks. All of the brick here
have been shipped in from Mackay
or Salmon, and the freight on ev-
cry brick has cost from 4 to cents,
according to its weight. Ordinary
ome-made brick are now selling
at SIS per 1000, SO when shipped
here they cose SIS per 1000. Pressed
brick cost $40 per 1000 at Mackay,
and they would cost $50 per 1000
laid down here. 1t Is no wonder
that there Is not a brick building in
A person needs to be cap
italist to own brick flue in Challis.
All because no one here has had suf-
ficient energy to burn kiln of brick.

construed by this department:
An article of food shall be
deemed to be adulterated if it
consists in whole or part of
diseased, filthy, decomposed, in
fected, tainted, putrid or rotten
animal or vegetable substance or
substances: OR ANY PART OR

blown, tainted, heated, soured,
raised, stuffed, putrid or impure
or which, for other reasons, is
unfit for human food"
The possession of any food, the
sale of which is forbidden by laws,
IS prima facie evidence that it is for
sale.

forced to pay considerable. attention
to the governors.
Arrangements have been made for
a reception to be given by President
Taft for the chief executives of the
northwest when they get to his town
December z. The governors will take
along their top hats and whether or
not they wear them during the daily
lectures on the products of the states
they will have them ready for use
when they arrive in Washington.
To Be Well Advertised,
1t would impugn the dignity of the
governors to refer to them as the
greatest aggregation of vote getters
in the history of the continent" and
imagine that the barns of all the
neighborhood about the towns in
which they stop will be plastered
with their names. The special train
will, however, have an advance
agent. He. comes from Omaha and
is said to be a good one. He for
merly travelled for the Quaker Oats
people and the National Biscuit COM
pany throughout. the east, and-knows
how to plan campaign. His name
is F. w. Harwood and he has had
plenty of training in advertising work
to fit him well for this job.
Reilly Atkinson, the manager of
the train, comes from the west. His
regular job is secretary of the Com
mercial Club of Boise, Idaho. For
mer Governor Brady of Idaho, who
conceived the idea of his train found
him and annexed him to the PROPOSE
ton. The fact that he comes from
the west is sufficient guarantee that
he is live wire," and will see that
no detail for this excursion escapes
careful attention.
Among the governors to be in the
party and the states they represent
are:
A. o. Eberhart, Minnesota.
John Burke, North Dakota.

"To get e few farmers to meet at

20 cotton spinners To think such
resolutions will be lived up to is
as vain as the dream of dreamer
who dreamed he had dreamed some
thing.
''I have talked to two or three
good attorneys as to the validity OF
contract a farmer might make
with the warehouse company to hold
ais cotton. They think such contract
can be drawn so as to be legal. The
acreage proposition would have to
be worked the same way. If Mr. A
planted 100 acres IN cotton in 1911
and contracts with warehouselng
company that he will plant only rs
acres in 1912 and provides that in
case he breaks his contract that all
cotton produced on land over and
above the Is acres shall go to the
warehouse company. I think such
contract could be made valid. If
some strong bank could act as trustee
for US in 1912 and they would say
they had contracts in their vaults
providing for 25 per cent. reduc-
ton in South Carolina that would
carry weight.
'In conclusion we can rally the
panic-stricken farmers OF today and
win a partial victory for 1912. We
can organize so that the present ca
lamity may not happen in the future.
First, build warehouses to store
fully 3,5Oo,000 bales of cotton in the
South, to be owned largelJ by cotton

Third, get legal contracts signed
