AN IDEA WORTH WHILE.

President c. B. Green has a big idea
in his plan for "get-acquainted" rela
lions for the Chamber of Commerce
with the other commercial bodies Of
Latah county and the Palouse.
A big banquet to delegates from
other cities is the first step in the pro-
gram, and it is to be followed by auto
mobile trips to the different towns in
the district for the purpose of better
ing the feeling through the country
and helping each other in common bat
ties.
A chamber of commerce has two
purposes. 1t is the live wire carry
ing news of opportunity to home
seekers in other countries, and it
should be, more than that, the elf :.
country work for united good 1t
must cultivate good feeling, unity of
purpose, and a broad aim of common
good. To do this it must establish
personal relations not only with tn :
business people of the town, but with
the population which supports the
town, the farmers that feed it, and the
other towns which have similar S
and purposes in building up the far;n
ing community.
Nothing will pay the Chamber of
Commerce better than President
Green's plan. 1t is in line with the
policy that has made the Portland
Commercial club a shining success in
the publicity armament. 1t is tx j
to the know Your City" and "Know
Your County" campaigns which live
clubs in other places are carrying on.
The better the members of the Mos
COW Chamber of Commerce are ac-
quainted first hand with the condi-
lions in every section of Latah county,
and the whole Palouse country, the
better fitted that organization will be
tc carry out it's two purposes. TO
locate homeseekers in places where
they will make a success and be suit
ed; and to further good feeling and
relations with every sec
ton of the surrounding country.
If President Green carries his idea |
out he will be doing big service to
the town

The use Of electricity OH modern

Of course not many farmers have put
electricity to such an extensive use as

an occasional oiling. Every building

she said.
Then she turned to the telephone
and notified the police. When she
looked around the burglar was gone.
He had leaped through the window
and made mis- escape.

Just wait; if another burglar comes
into this house / will shoot first and
tell him to stand after"

BIackhead in Turkeys.
DIR. E. F. BAKER, Veterinarian
(From Idaho Country Life)

|
Blackhead is a very serious disease
affecting turkeys, and gains its name
from the fact that the head of the
affected fowl assumes a dark blue ap-
pearance.
It is very infectious disease,
caused by a small parasite that enters
the digestive tract, lodging principally
in the intestines and liver. This para
site is small animal organism, resenl-
bling the egg of frog under the
microscope, and SO minute that sew
eral thousand can be placed side by
side to an inch. These parasites pass
out with the droppings, become dis
seminated through the soil of the
premises and are picked up in the
food or water and rapidly infect the
whole flock.
The first symptom noted is diar-
rEoea. The infected fowl becomes
listless, inactive, and gradually drifts
into a stupor. The head becomes
dark blue in color and the victim soon
succumbs. Others become infected
show the same symptoms, respond to
no treatment and another Disguised
turkey raiser goes out Of business.
/ Prevention is the only treatment.
Attempts to breed immune strains of
fowls SO far have failed. Remember
ing the fact that the parasites may live
in the digestive tract of old fowls for
some time it is we'll to be careful about
introducing new stock to ones prem
Uses.
II the disease starts among your
turkeys, only the most energetic meas
ures will be of any avail. Disinfect
houses, runs, and yards with ten per
cent. solution of formalin or carbolic
acid. AS turkeys usually have large
run or range this makes the problem
still more difficult. Isolate we'll from
sick. Medicinal remedies, such as a
teaspoonful of Epson salts or one
third teaspoonful potassium perman-
ganate may be put in the drinking
water. One-half grain salol may be
given in bit of moist food. The car
cases should be burned, and it is
best to abandon turkey raising on the
premises for several years.
