Went Dry Again

Lewiston favored cutting old Nez
Perce county into three pieces so the
city could get out of the dry column.
Two new counties were carved out
and Lewiston was left monarch of a
much smaller area than before. A
vet and dry campaign was put on
with view of throwing off the dry
yoke. The result from latest returns
shows that the prohibition element
was again victorious by a majority Of
191. The disappointment must have
bene keen in the town where large
majority was rolled up in favor of the
vets.

GOVERNOR ISSUED

Governor Hawley has issued a proc
lamation setting April 26, 1912 as
Arbor Day to be observed in the
State of Idaho, through the planting
OF trees and for general recognition
on the part of the people and particu-
larly the schools. The proclamation
is as follows:
No more beautiful thought has
been crystalized into action than the
observance of day by the people of
the various States of the American
Union as dedicated to the birds and
trees. Hon. J. Sterling Morton. a
distinguished citizen of the State of
Nebraska during his lifetime, was the
originator OF Arbor Day and through
it millions of trees have been planted
in that formerly treeless State, add
ing much to the beauty, resources and
healthfulness of the Commonwealth.
From Nebraska the idea has spread
into practically every State in the
Union and the legislative assembly OF
the State OF Idaho has authorized the
various County School Superintend-
ents to designate day in the month
of April as Arbor Day.
At the suggestion of the State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction
would recommend the universal Sc
lection OF Friday, April 26, 1912, as
Arbor Day, subject of course to the
convenience of the County Superin-
tendents and will designate that day
or the day chosen by the County Sup
erintendents in any county as a day
in which exercises shall be held in
the public schools Of the State suit
able to the occasion; and would urge
upon all our people hearty cooper
alton in the exercises and the spirit
thereof.
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State of
Idaho. Done at Boise, Idaho, this
twelfth day of March, in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and twelve.

viding for a constitutional amend

the abolition of the court Immediately

This bill may have no connection

Family Concerned in Recent
Increase in Precautions.

NEW YORK, July s-Friends Of the
late John Jacob Aston are greatly con
cerned over the fact that guards at his
tomb in Trinity cemetery have been
doubled The body of Colonel Aston was
brought To this city on May after the
funeral services in the Church of the
Messiah at Rhnebeck. The sculpture
took place in Trinity cemetery. Broadway

Two men have guarded it night and
day, the same size of guard that had
watched the tomb since 1t was built.
Within a few days four men have been
detailed TO protect the place from intru-
sion and no explanation has been vouch-
ssfed as to the reason for the increased
precautions.
The custom of guarding the graves OF
the Aston dead was inaugurated by John

Woodrow Wilson's double and is having
many unusual and amusing experiences
from his accidental resemblance to the

lations here with the candidate. and Mr.

While they were at the same hotel here

there is also another reason--a strong
one, too.
1t is the fact that flies disturb the
rest and slumber of the baby and CON
sequently cause it to become irritable
and nervous. The crawling of flies
over the face, arms and legs of a
sleeping babe will quickly make it
fretful. Frequently we see flies crawl
ing over the lips and eyes of a sleeping
child, tormenting the little one, and
probably spreading the germs of some
dread disease. Such a sight is enough
to make us cringe.
House Should Be Screened.
AS to the remedy for this peril l
would say that every house in which
there is a baby Should have carefully
screened doors and windows, to shut
out the flies as much as possible But
this alone is not sufficient Even il
the best of screened houses flies will
manage TO sneak in. When the baby
takes it's nap it should be covered with
netting, which will prevent flies from
getting to its face, arms and legs Baby
should not be left alone without being
protected by this net
And when the mother, or any one
else. is carrying the baby about in
their arms. care should be used to keep
off flies
Shoe away every one that comes
about.

peted in an Olympiad. The young

only nineteen years of age. United
