gloating over his find" started to
open the other five crates. Sure
enough, there reposed rows of fresh
clean eggs on top of each crate and
if Heusel had stopped there ne would
have deferred his disappointment
ment longer.
Instead, however, he took out the
top tray and there found nice rows
of black dirt where eggs should have
been. The same condition was found
in all of the other crates-one tray
of egges, foul trays of dirt.

Head Of Dusky Church Of sacrifice
Tells OF Murders.

Lafayette, La.-CJementine Barna-
bet, a half-blood negress, told a story
here hat the police authorities say
they accept as clearing the mystery
yelling the killing of 20 negroes in
southwest Louisiana, and, which 1t is
said gave clews that will fix the guilt
for Is other night assassinations OF
blacks in Louisiana n Texas.
From Clementine's story, 1t appears
she led a mysterious negro cult, the
members Of which performed the
rites of "human sacrifice"
The negress declared she killed II
of the victims with her own hands.
Black Burdcress Calm.
The police declare Clementine told
her story of wholesale slaughter with
no apparent apprehension that the
taking of human life was a crime.
without reservation, she told her part
in the 35 assassinations, but declined
to reveal the names of members of
the mysterious cult that helped her.
The murders have been committed
in the last year. AS one series OF
killings was added to another in diff
ferent towns of southwest Louisiana
and southeast Texas, the authorities
concluded that one mind directed all.
Today the negress confessed she
was the directing head of the cult
that is known as the Church Of the
Sacrifice" which has for the feature
of its creed the belief hat by life
sacrifice alone may a person gain inn
mortality.
Hopes Pinned to ''Voodoo."
Before engaging in any of these
crimes C%lementine armed herself with
a "voodoo,' which she got from a
preacher and which she and other
members of her band We're assured
would protect them from the law.
While the exact reason for the MUIR
ders is not explained to the satisfac-
ton of the authorities, 1t is believed
Clementine and her companions were
degenerates and thai their weakened
brains evidently were affected by the
exhortations they had heard in the
Church Of Sacrifice"

WHEN AN EGG Is NOT AN EGG?
Michigan Merchant Learns One An
swer to Conundrum.

An Arbor. Mich.-An apparently
poor but honest farmer came into
Samuel Heusel's store Juggling what
to all appearances was a crate of
eggs. He told a hard luck story. His
father had instructed him to take six
crates to a certain grocery store, but
he had unfortunately forgotten the
name of the store. He opened up
the crate and sure enough there were
row Of strictly fresh eggs, and all
he asked was 20 cents a dozen.
Heusel los no time in trying to as
sist him to remember the name of the
grocer to whom he had been directed.
In speed he hustled him out after he
had paid for those eggs.

II has come 10 our ears from quite ID
reliable source that if the proper infu-
ence was brought to bear upon the Short
Line officials, a daily service would be
inaugurated over the North Side branch

Twin Falls branch. Here is AN oppor-
tunity Tor the various Commercial Clubs
along the line to get busy and bring the
proper influence to bear. A daily service
over this branch with Il proper schedule,
would prove "a great convenience to the
people living along the line, and we be-
lieve would be well %patronized.

The Labor Problem.

With the large acreage Of potatoes and
other crops to he taken care OF this fall.
the question Of procuring sufficient help
To gather the crop is beginning 10 agitate
those who have an abundance OF these
crops. The harvest season ior potatoes
is short, and although the acreage was
much smaller last year, there were some
who suffered a loss 10y having some Of
their crop frozen in the ground.
Extra labor is scarce here and hard to
get at the time most needed. This mat
ter has been discussed To some extent 10y
the board of directors OF the Canal Users
Association, and several plans suggested,
though no definite conclusion has a. yet
been arrived at. However. the fact re-
mains that in order 10 compete with
other sections this locality must have a
supply of cheaper labor 10 gather the
potato crop, which will be- enormous this
year.
The solution of this problem is being
partially solved at Gooding, when last
week an employment agency was estab-
lished there to assist in handling the
question OF help. There is Tor an
agency at this kind At Jerome, Il sort OF
central locality where laborers and those
looking for help could report, and much
time thereby saved on the part Of both.
While we do not believe this arrange-
ment would entirely solve the problem,
il would be a move in the right direction
and we would like to see such an agency
established.
