AGITATION FOR
PICTURE CENSOR
Mayor Hodges Has Been
Asked to Appoint Board
for This City.

The motion picture censorship craze
has struck Boise. A request has been
made of Mayor Hodges to appoint
censorship board to pass upon the pic
lures exhibited here and he has the
matter under consideration.
1t is claimed that the work of local
censors in various cities throughout
the United States has been such
joke that the proprietors of motion
picture theaters had not anticipated
any such a move here and are sur
prised that it is being considered In
stances are cited where pictures pass
ed and approved by board of censors
in one city are absolutely prohibited
in another. The Aim, John Barley
corn, by Jack London, which was
shown here some time ago and regard
ed as one of the greatest silent forces
in behalf of the temperance cause
ever advanced, was prohibited by the
city board of censors of Philadelphia
and several other cities as unfit to be
seen, while in other cities it was highly
approved.
All pictures shown in Boise are
passed by the national board of CEN
sors and 1t is said should they be sub
jected to another inspection with the
likelihood of being condemned and or
dered not run, some of the show houses
Will be darkened, as Boise is 500 miles
from the nearest film exchange and
two days time at the least is required
to get films here for exhibition.
Again, the appointment of a board of
censors will likely cause the price of
admission to be raised in some houses.
in the opinion of some of the man
ayers, as they point out that the extra
cost of operating for the city censor
ship board. the necessity OF having at
least two films always on hand in case
one is prohibited. will add an extra
expense to the business which will
have to be met and can only be done
through an advanced admission price.
As far as could be ascertained but
little complaint has been made of any
pictures shown here. One or two have
been stopped by city authorities. but
on the whole the picture thesters here
run high grade of pictures. and ac-
cording to critics from outside points
the shows here are among the cleanest
in the country

ITALIAN WOMAN
GETS JUDGMENT
In Broken English Tells
Story of the Alleged Loss
of Money.

Judgment to the full amount asked
for, $19S0.S4, was given the plaintiff in
the case of Adelaid. Johnson VS..
Claude III. Roberts and Edwin l.. Clark.
According to the evidence in the case,
Mrs. Johnson, who is an Italian and
barely able to speak the English Ian
guage, and can neither read nor write
the same, gave Roberts & Clark $3.50
at one time and $3.50 at another time.

with good security. This was in 1910.
The next year Mrs. Johnson returned
to Italy. remaining there until this
year. When she arrived in Boise she
found out, she says, that the defend
ant had not invested her money.
AS she sat on the witness stand in
district court yesterday, she said
that she and her husband, Nick" had
come here from Custer county. where
they had mined for years. They sold
out there and brought enough money
to buy them a little home in Boise and
leave O little to live on. But Nick
had to be operated on. He was taken
TO the hospital six different times. He
finally died. The sickness and the bills
finally took nearly all she had and
when mick" died she took her sister,
who was also very Ill, back to their
native Italy.
Before leaving she sold the little
home. She saved enough for the jour
ney and left the rest, $17o0. with Rob-
erts g. Clark, according to her testi-
mony. They were to lend 1t on first
mortgage security. She says she could
not read or write She speaks the
English language brokenly still. She
had no one TO counsel or advise her
Sba si1uAd ANYTHING she WAS asked to
sign by making her mark. After she
went to Italy, almost four years ago
she only received $102.50 interest. She
no replies except to a few of her first
letters. After she could no longer get
any word Of her money she wrote to
the Boise City National bank. The
bank took the matter up ana after de-
manding the money from G. H, Rob-
erts. Of Roberts & Clark, placed the
matter in the hands OF Martin e. Cam
eron, lawyers Mrs. Johnson was sent
for and came back to America. She
appeared In court yesterday afternoon
with her attorneys and John Oakley,
who has known her and her husband
for several years. Mr.. Oakley has in
terested himself in the matter to see
if some of Mrs. Johnson's money can
be recovered. Although Mrs. Johnson
was assured that her money would be
loaned only on first mortgage loans, 1t
was shown that the records Of Ada
county do not show any mortgages
standing in the name OF Mrs. Johnson
at the present time. She is without
funds and alone in the world. She

Uncle Toms Cabin.

"Uncle Toms Cabin" superb
drama, will offer an opportunity at the
opera house, Middlebury, to judge in
how far it has deserved the exception
ally fine favors that has been showered
upon it, and in all probability it will
demonstrate quite conclusively that a
drama with real plot can be more
than clever, in conjunction with per-
formers of ability and SKILL and in the
same spirit allow for novelty features
and stage effects. "Uncle Tom 5
Cabin" is drama of the southern plan
tation before the war, with many tense
and unusual situations. and many fea-
lures that are out of the beaten rut of
playwriting.
The play is acted with great spirit and
humor, comedy and pathos are happily
blended and affords much amusement,
as there is much to laugh at in the
play, as well as to admire in the
acting.
This drama is sure to make an in
stantane Gus hit, as an interesting pro-
gram is given which possesses many
good qualities which are very diverting
and particularly pleasing. Don't fail

opera house Tuesday, October 6. adv.

MARKET GARDENING.

Success in the growing of vegeta bles
depends more upon the supply of soil
moisture than on the amount and char
acter of plant food which the soil may
contain. This fact is not disputed by
men Of experience ana training The
most liberal applications OF the vari-
Gus elements of plant food may be
made. but n shortage of soil moisture
invariably limits production
soil expert of the United States de
partment of agriculture claims that
soil mixture is 50 per cent of the points
which count for successful production.
This is certainly placing very high
value on one Of the factors which in
fuence yields There Is absolutely no
doubt. however. regarding the truthful
ness OF the statement And the asser-
ton Is especially true in regard to the
growing Of garden crops
Most market gardeners depend upon
the supply Of soil humus and upon til.

Both factors are exceedingly impor-
tant Soils which are we'll charged

Immediately suggested a letter to the

alas, is the influence of the sex that
history hints the bribe was more eff
fectual than "all the kings horses and
all the kings men" in the way Of
forest rangers and wood reeves.
Macmillan had a preserve of these
animals in the Tyrol near the Aachen
sea and has left on record some inter-
esting notes and illustrations Of the
sport he enjoyed among them. One pic
ture represents him in a boat on lake
assisting to catch an ibex in a large
net, which may have been good fun,
even If it were scarcely sportsmanlike
1t was Macmillan. too, who boosted

Scientists tell us that life on the

1t has generally been accepted that life

Ninety-fve million years is q fairly
long time. None of us who are alive
today need worry about what will take

most altruistic can scarcely be inspired
by love for an inconceivably remote
posterity.
But the French savants are alto

permanently freeze within the next
100000 years and that life will van
ish This is bringing the tragedy near
er home. We would gladly accept the
older reckoning.
Verronet places mankind OF today
about midway between the beginning
and the end. He computes that in the
future life will exist as long as it has
already existed. He specifies only one
forty-eighth as long life as those who
have studied in the past
There is only one consolation to be
