BACK FROM INDIANA

COW Again and Tells of Conditions

Mrs. j. M. Aldrich, formerly resi-
dent of Moscow but now of Lafayette
Indiana, is a recent arrival in town
She is the guest of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. P. L. Smith. She plans to
go to Nezperce to visit a sister, Mrs
Sather, but she will return to the
city in a few days and await here the
arrival of Mr.. Aldrich who comes west
in November
Mrs Aldrich reports a delightful
year in Indiana. She says that they
have formed many pleasant acquaint-
ances there and that they have had
many good times. but that they miss
the west where they feel most at home.
According to Mrs. Aldrich, living
expenses are higher in the middle
west than here. Eggs, butter, and
milk are about the same, but groc-
ries, meat, rent, and most other
items are much higher. Dry goods
are perhaps a little lower than here.
She noted with interest that middle
west and eastern fruits are not at
tractively displayed, not pushed with
customers, and not rated highly. All
western fruits are high priced, al
tractively wrapped and polished, and
recommended everywhere. Fresh
fruit has not been abundant or fine
favored in Indiana this past year.
Mrs. Aldrich is glad to be at home
with friends and relatives and is look
ing forward to some pleasant weeks
in Idaho.

United States Supreme Court VIII
Hear Motion to Advance the Case
For an Early Hearing

WASHINGTON, MOct. 12.-Renewal
of his fight for liberty by Harry X.
Thaw was one of the most dramatic
and important cases facing the SUI
preme court when it reconvened today
for the 1914-15 sessions.
Thaw's appeal fFom the decision of
the New Hampshire federal court re-
fusing to set him at complete liberty
upon habeas corpus plea was on the
docket of the court.
Application to advance the case for
early hearing this fall or winter from
Thaw's counsel was expected soon. In
the ordinary course of the court the
case would not be reached for year
or more. Thaw is now technically in
custody of the United States mashal
for New Hampshire, following his
flight from Matteawan asylum. One of
the last acts of the supreme court be-
fore it adjourned last spring was re-
fusing requests of Thaw to be released
on bail pending hearing of his appeal
and a permit to go to Pittsburgh to
testify in litigation affecting the es
tate of his father, the late William
Thaw.
Former Gov. William Stone of Pens
sylanvia, is Thaw's chief attorney. 1t
is believed here that William Travers
Jerome, popularly called Thaw's
"nemesis" and the. attorney general of
New York, will oppose any move look
ing to advancement of Thaw's appeal
to block in any way his long effort to
make good for all time his escape
from Matteawan.

TIME TO USE
THE KING DRAG
GOOD ROAD ENTHUSIASTS
SHOULD TAKE TIME BY THE
FORELOCK
Better to Work the Roads in Wet
Weather Than 1t is in Dry Weather
And Now is the Time

An unusually dry summer has moi
permitted farmers to give the split log
road drag a fair trial, but now that
the autumn rains have come there is
opportunity to demonstrate what the
King habit, faithfully persisted in will
do for bad roads There is plenty of
time to put the roads in good shape
before winter sets in and thus the
inconvenience of the usual mud and
mire can be avoided.
Systematic dragging of the roads
with the split log will bring better
roads. Every community where it has
been tried is convinced of that Such
dragging fills the ruts and ho,lows,
while the road surface is more hard,
The split log drag will help to make a
good crown on the road, but what Is
more important, will make a hard
crown an impervious one. The water
runs off such a road into the ditch and
does not make a ditch of the road.
Such a road does not wear into mud
easily because of traffic in wet
weather. if the dragging is kept up.
The King habit makes good roads.
Time to Make Good
When d. Ward King gave his road
talks last April a good many farmers
volunteered to build road drags and
try them on their roads. Time for
building this contrivance and for drag
ging the roads can now be found
When it is difficult to get a split
log Ca discarded telephone pole is just
the thing), the plank drag will be
found to give excellent service. For
want of something better, railroad ties
will serve fairly well, though the split
log type is to be preferred over all
others. But even the railroad tie drag
will convince one of the value of the
habit
How To Do 1t
Do not drag the roads when muddy
and wet A graveled road will bene-
it greatly if dragged when wet, but
/ clay road should not be wet enough
o be made muddy by traffic. "Moist
1ut not sticky" is the rule laid down
~ Mr.. King. The soil should be moist
enough to compact easily.
Hitch to the drag with chain that |
will drag the split log at such an |
lngle as to crowd little dirt to the |
enter.
If the drag cut too much, shorten
he hitch; II too little, lengthen the
itch.
Let the team straddle the wheel
rack. Go down one side and come III,
he other.
Ride the drag unless the road is too
eavy.
Drag as often as possible before
he ground freezes. The road will
reeze smooth.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag in the winter.

TEXTBOOK OUT
FOR CAMPAIGN
REPUBLICANS PUBLISH RECORD
OF HAINES ADMINISTRATION
IN CONCRETE FORM
Gives Comprehensive Report of Work
Done by Each Department and
Makes a Strong Showing

The republican textbook is off the
press and is being distributed from
state headquarters, copies of which
have been received in Moscow 1t is
largely report of the last two years
of republican administration at the
statehouse. Each and every depart
ment was called upon to furnish data
for the campaign book, and most
favorable showing is made. The tax
problem, Of course, comes in for a
general share of space. 1t is shown
that the amount of direct revenue lev
led this year for the purpose of state
expenses was $140,15 less than for the
preceding year.
Governor Haines' proposals for fur
ther decreasing the tax burden are
made clear, the abolishment of over
tapping offices or departments and
the discontinuance of any office or de-
partment where the people of the
state manifest a desire to have it abol-
ished; the depriving of subordinate
levying bodies of the power to make
blanket levies, substituting therefor
the power. within fixed limits, to make
specific appropriations for particular
purposes, and the actual determina-
ton of the levy to be made under the
supervision and control of the state
tax commission; the employment of
convict labor an state land; to hasten
the survey and patent of all railroad
lands, thus adding twenty million dol
lars of corporate property to the tax
rolls; the more rapid sale of state
holdings.
Showing on Lands
The state land department shows |
that there is nearly three million dol
lars outstanding in farm loans at |
per cent interest, and that notwith- |
the vast amount of money |
involved, the state has never lost
dollar by reason of them. 1t has been |
necessary in all the history of the de-
partment to foreclose but few loans,
and in these cases the state has been
able to foreclose and resell at a profit
If ten thousand dollars. The present
oans out are earning the state two
hundred thousand dollars a year.
The state insurance department
shows a net profit to the state under
he Haines administration of $174,-
1880, as against $123,296 under the
1awley administration.
Affect Savings
The state engineers department
hows savings of $518 and decrease
n the Carey act expenses in the engi-
leer's office of $4,000 under the
Iaines administration, as compared
With the Hawley administration. The
otal fees of the office show an in
rease in revenue of $15,727 over the

stration.

OF course you know that each white
star of the American flag represents
state of the Union. And a very pretty
and effective idea it is, too; but do
you know how the plan originatedR
When General Washington raised
his flag at Cambridge on January 2,
1916, it consisted Of 13 stripes, alter.
nate red and white, with blue canton.
or field, upon which was emblazoned
the English crosses Of st. George and
ST. Andrew. But one year later con-
gress decided that the field be changed
to 13 white stars upon a blue back
ground. And in 1874, when Kentucky
and Vermont were admitted to the
Union as states, the number of stripes
was increased to Is and two more
stripes were added to the 13 already
there. - =
Twenty-four years elapsed before
any further change was made in the
design of old Glory" and then con-
g-ess reduced the number of stripes
to the original IS, but decided TO add
new star to the flag on Fourth of July
Immediately succeeding the admission
of each new state to the Union. And
from then on, this plan has followed.

must have the house wider if you do,
and this means a great deal more ex-
pense in the roof. When you get
above % feet in width, you have quite
a roof problem to deal with. This
house is IS feet wide and 40 feet long,
which is a very good proposition. The
roof is plain and straight, being just
slightly relieved in one or two places,
for looks-which makes a straight
roof that any carpenter can go ahead
with and work at right along until
it Is done.
When there is no stairway, a hall
is not necessary. By leaving out the

makes the dining room warm enough
during meal time. 1t is not generally
advisable to make living room OF
the dining room, because usually you
have a sideboard or some other pro-
vision for keeping eatables, and 1t is
not good plan to keep food e a
room where people spend a great deal
of time. Some kinds OF food are very
susceptible to contamination from the
air.
The sitting room may be made as
warm as necessary with a good coal

be comfortable in any kind OF weather.
The pipe from the kitchen range may
be made to warm the back bedroom in
the same way. This makes, a very
economical way of heating the house.

One of the features of the celebra.

carved with old runic characters. 1t

a century ago, but for a long time
no one could read the roughly carved

American scholar, who found that the
inscription was cut by a Morse ex.

the summer Of 1907 A. D. bound for
the coast of New England. They
landed in Nova Scotia on their way
