NOVEL BILL
Congressman Goodwin Would Turn
 Warships Into Bazaars

Washington. D. G--A floating department store, or industrial ex- position. is the best use Represen- tatiye W S Goodwin of Arkansas can find for United States battle ship. He would lease floor space for exhibition purposes on warships to American pro duceIs and export CTS. that the natives of the various countries visited by the American naval fleet n q trip around tie world, or a partial circuit of the globe, might see the wonderful out put Of our farms and factories He would sto the vessels with the l implements Of peace, rather than the armameHts of war, because lie is so opposed to battle ships that he 1 is for disarmame mt of nations first, last and all the time
 He will offer bill embodying his ideas of a floating exposition in the House. Under his plan the natives of the Fiji Islands would be enab ei by visit b Uncle Sam $ Warships when they stop at their shores, to see the ve1y latest styles in skirts and automobile coats The 1 inhabitants of Arabia could get glimpse Of the latest in lawn nov CTS for use on the desert, and the anshayed Russians could reyel in the latest makes Of safety razers. l The red apple of the Arkansas 0zarks could be introduced 10 the an.eaters of South America as desirable dessert, and American talk ing machines brought within reach by a little over and side trip of the Soudanese The grape juice rickey could be introduce to the world
 Theze are only few of the limit less possibilities Of GoodWins plan for displaying American products on American warships, carried 10 all the ports of the world for the eda cation of foreign peoples in what this country las 10 offer. Good wins idea is n striking contrast with that of Representative Britt on, new mem Der from Illinois, who wants approps iations for three bat tls ships this year and during sever al sue eeding years.
 GoodWin's bill, entitled "A bill 10 encourage American commerce with l foreign nation, provides that the Sc re,afy of the navy shall within 60 days after the passage of the bill report to the secretary of com merce the extent and character of 1 all space on battle ships whict can products The secretary of commerce thereupon is 10 allot such space 10 American manufacturers, merchants, exporters or trade bod les which desire to install exhibits under rules and regulations pre- scribed by the secretary of com merce acting jointly with the sec retary of navy.
 Repre- entatiye Goodwin thinks his scheme has great possibilities which he says commercial bodies through out the country will appfeciate Friends Of a big navy. he says would do well 70 anaiyze this plan eareful3y if they would take serious ly inc recent remarks ot Secretary Daniels on the importance of makz iag the navy DO 3plar institution.

WRECK ON FRISCO
Freight Train Goes In Ditch Near
 West Folk.
{ West Fork News. l

(West Fork News.)
 The extra No. 734 east bound vegetable train was wrecked at i D. III. Thursday, June 9th, at the curve about one-half mile north east of town. Four oil tanks, one car of potatoes and one car of sheep were tumbled down the grade into the ditch. Three oil tanks on one side and the other oil tank and the cars containing po- tatoes and sheep on the other side The track was completely torn up for the distance Of about four tele- graph poles and all Of the ties were torn from the short bridge where the cars started down the grade All of these six cars were left on their tops or sides and their trucks scattered everywhere. The tanks were broken so that the oil ran down the side ditch like great spring branch. About fifty of the sheep were killed and those that escaped were driven 10 the stock yards and placed in the pens until relief work could be done There was no injury to any person but this was only prevented by small margin as the man in charge of the sheep had been on his car 10 look after the sheep only short time before the wreck occurred. The loss to the railroad will be very heavy as probably 3A, ,000 gallons of cotton seed oil was wasted besides the damage to the track and the rolling stock.
 Many of the people of West Fork went to see the wreck before the wrecking train reached the scene about u '. III The evening pass enger trains pulled as near as they could and transferred the passeng ees which required about all of the time from lo=to II 90 the wreck ing crew did not get to Wolk on the pile of debris until I ?. III. but with their great machinery and we'll organized crew they had the traok cleared and reH aired 50 that trains could pass al : a. III Friday morning Tie trains lying in the yards went out and the morning mail and passenger trains passed before the repair work could be re sumed The loeal section crew worked all day to complete repairs Oh the track The cost of this wreck To the railroad will run up to many thousand of dollars
 So far as visible evidences show the wreck was caused by defect i've car aHd IT nabls crippled wheel as the ear that caused the trouble jumped the track where the track was good and almost straight and it ran OH the ties for num- Der of rods up to the bridge be fore any of the cars went over II thus seems probable that the great loss might have been prevented by more careful inspe etion. However We may never kHoW dbout lAlS but the people of West Fork and those interested in railroad servic, have witnessed a demonstration of the faithfulness and disl latch with which the Frisco train and track crews can manage their work in time Of such an emereency as this. In this day when railroads like mnay oth- CT corporate concerns are made common target for random as well as intelligent criticism, sush well concerted service az this should not fail to have the expressed appreei- afion that it SO fully deserves. Plain, simple justice is always in order and certainly should be af- piled at this spot.

Old Coins Really Broken

They had an ingenious plan for
meeting a shortage of small change
In the old days before copper coins
existed. Until the reign of Edward l..
the silver penny was the smallest
coin minted in England. to the great
inconvenience of the small purchaser
of the period. But the difficulty was
to some extent got over by the issue
of pennies indented with deep cross
The coin could then be broken into
halfpennies and farthings. Our first
real copper coinage only dates from
1872. and until the time OF Edward VI
farthings OF silver were coined, grow
Ing smaller and smsller as the value
of silver increased-London Chron

The drumming of ruffed grouse is
like the sound of rattlesnake; only
tHpse who have heard it know what it
is like. 1t seems to come from any
part of the thicket or woods, like the
voice of ventriloquist. Sometimes
1t resembles distant thunder or the
rumble of wheels. Early in spring
the male steps cautiously out on a
log, first making sure that no fox or
weasel is hiding near. His rich chest
nut hue, with purple or bronze on the
rufus, and white-barred tail, harmon
ICES beautifully with the shadows of
the surrounding spruce thicket. Then
he rises on tiptoe, and with wings
held out little way from the body be-
gins his thump, thump, thump-faster
and faster, till it dies away in a mere
rumbling. Hunters at one time sup
eosed that this sound was made by
Dyhe wings striking against the log or
stump; but it is now known to be pro-
duced by rapid vibration of the quill
feathers. Usually there are hen
grouse nearby who sneak up through
the leaves to watch his performance
He takes them all if he can find them.
for the grouse cock prefers a harem;
and they go about in flock together.
Day after day the drummer returns to
his favorite log, until the warm wealth
er comes on.
Sportsmen often speak of shooting
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1913-10-07

pheasants, when in reality they mean
grouse; for there are no native pneas-
ants in the United States, the nearest
approach being, strangely enough. our
wild turkey. Often the ruffed grouse
is spoken of as a partridge-and
where that is SO Bob White is called a
quail.
Still plentiful in spite of many thou
sand guns aimed at It's life, the grouse
ranges over the whole of Northern
North America, making short migra-
tons In search of food or winter quar-
tiers. Sometimes when wintering in
tall timber it eats great quantities of
laurel buds; which, gunners say makes
the flesh highly poisonous for food.
The surveval of this game bird in such
great numbers Isl due in a large mea-
sure to the whir of it's flight, which
serves double purpose, startling the
gunner and warning all other birds in
the neighborhood. Some sportsmen
never become accustomed to the
sound; but are always unnerved and
powerless to shoot the bird that makes
1T. One gunner, after having stood
paralyzed before each grouse as it
started up near him and whirred away
out of range, reused himself with a
desperate effort, and as the next thun-
dered away brought the gun to his
shoulder, shouting "Bang!" at the top
of his lungs, while the grouse sped on
unframed.
