Moses Wins Beautiful Zipporah

!" HE young man, Moses, had no
been long in the hill countr,
around Mount Sinai. He hun
gered yet for the Egyptian
plains, and, as the twilight time came
silent footed over the tall hills he
yearned for the land where his people
were, though in captivity.
Not many more days for him the
rich and pleasant land of Egypt,

upon his elbow, gazing, now up to roll

deep, walled pool, with it's fringe of
bright trees, where the shepherd
people brought their fiocks to drink at
shutdown, carrying the water up in
jars to the stone troughs and pouring
it out there for the thirsty sheep.
Curious, the turn of things There
was the woman who had brought him
up, the daughter Of the Egyptian Pha-
raoh-she who had loved to tell him as
a boy how she had found him, such
wee, black-eyed baby boy, floating in a
tarred basket among the rushes at the
rivers edge, and how she had taken
him home and reared him as her own.
A kindly mother she had been, the
sloe-eyed girl, even after she had we'd
ded lord of the Egyptian court and
black-eyed babies of her own had come
to share her kindly heart.
And so he had grown up, richclothed /

and taught in all the wisdom of the

QUIT SELLING ALFALFA
AT S. PER TON
Feed Stock and Get $40 for 1t,
Is L. w. Hills
Advice.


Louis w. Hill, president of the rail
road lines, known as the Hill Sys-
tenn, concluded at Caldwell last week
a trip through central Oregon and
southwestern Idaho. 1t was during
a brief stay at Caldwell that he made
the following remarks, which contains
so much of good, sound business
sense that they should be read and
acted upon by every farmer:
II would never recommend the
building of a railroad through ter
ritory where the farmers sell their
alfalfa hay for $4 and SIS per tor"
was the significant remark made by
Lewis w. Hill to member of his par
ty, Wednesday, in the course of his
ride through the Deer Flat section.
Mr. Hill went on to state that while
the farmers were selling their hay
for SIS a ton, it is possible for them to
realize $40 a ton and over for it by
placing stock on their ranches. When
informed that the number and value
of the live stock on the ranches in
south western Idaho had more than
doubled in the past year, Mr.. Hill
stated that the fact augured well fer
the future prosperity of this section.

Most Children Have Worms.

Many mothers think their children
are suffering from Indigestion, head
ache, nervousness, weakness, costive-

grind their teeth, with bad breath
and colicky pains, have all the symp

SYSTEMS MUST BE CONNECTED.
Rival Telephone Companies in Wis
consin Ordered to Interchange

Compulsory connection between
competing telephone companies has
been ordered in a decision handed
down few days ago by the Wisconsin
Railroad Commission. The Lacrosse
Telephone Company and the Wisconsin
(BelD Telephone Company are the
companies affected by the decision.
The case was brought under the
provisions of the Physical Connection
Law passed two years ago. After
hotly contested hearings the commits
sion found that public convenience
and necessity require connection be-
tween the two companies; that such
connection will not result in irrepar-
able injury to the owners or. other
users of the facilities, and that there
will be no detriment to the present
service furnished. The commission
said:
without reviewing the evidence
at length adduced upon the hearing
upon this phase of the case, suffice
it to say that in the light of all the
facts and circumstances disclosed in
the investigation, the conclusion in
our judgment is inevitable that pub
lie convenience and necessity require
that a physical connection of the
respondents systems or lines be so
made that the subscribers of each ex-
change may through the telephone in
stalled by them in their residences or
places of business communicate over
the toll lines of both exchanges"

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is saying that "rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too rapid
ly you are most likely suffering with
indigestion or constipation, which
will result eventually in serious i'll
ness unless corrected. Digestion be-
gins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivat-
ed. Then when you have fullness
of the stomach or feel dull and stupid
after eating, take one of Chamberlain's
Tablets. Many severe cases of stom-
ach trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use of these tab
lets. They are easy to take and most
agreeable in effect. Sold by all deal
ers.

WHERE AUTO TAX GOES.
Each County May Have Share for
Roads.

| hOduS.
| The legislature has enacted a law
which takes from general taxation
that class of property known as auto
mobiles and levies against that pro-
perty special tax instead. inns
special tax is placed in state good
roads fund, but provision is made
whereby each county may draw back
from the fund an amount equal to 70
per cent of the amount paid in from
such county, provided the money so
drawn back is used to pay interest
on bonds issued for good roads pur-
poses.
Thus the automobiles of Ada coun-
ty will pay about $4,000 a year
taxes into this fund. Ada county
may either draw back $10,500 of this
sum to pay interest on bonds issued
for building roads in the county, or
it may permit the whole of the a.
mount to be expended in building
roads anywhere else in the, state.
This tax will be paid in whether
Ada county issues any road bonds or
not. So the only question to con-
slider is, as it worth while to ac-
cept 100000 with which to build
roads in the county, since the an
nual cost of the money will be moth
ing to the taxpayers, or would it be
better to tax ourselves the cash with
which to build or repair such roads
as we may wish, and give to the rest
of the state, the $4,000 which we
should otherwise have for ourselves?
How can there be any other answer
than that we must issue the bonds?
We may not like the law that the
legislature enacted and we may wish
that it had been otherwise, but that
doesn't alter the situation as it is.
The law is enacted and the money is
nearly all paid into the state trea-
sury. Shall we get it back or shall
we throw it away?
Shall we have 100000 worth of
good roads to enjoy for the next
year without cost, or shall we refuse
to accept the money and let the other
counties of the state have what we
refuse to accept?
That's all there is to it, except that
if the bonds are issued, the commits
sioners will need to levy this year
only a nominal road tax for the pur-
pose of making light repairs, but if
the bonds are not issued, they would
not be justified in making less than
a reasonable levy for new improve
ments as well as repairs. By issuing
the bonds, the taxpayers will get that
amount of good roads, will save to
The county the $4,000 which other
wise will go elsewhere and will save
heavy direct tax for the
year.-Capital News.
