GRANGEvlLLE WEATHER CONDI-
TIONS.

Local Observer John Norwood, has
been very lenient with us during the
month of December. giving US 16
dayS of sunshine, with partly sun
shine and only 6 covered with gloomy
clouds. The maximum temperature
Of 48 on the 1Ath Is identical with
the two preceding years, and while
the minimum, above on the goth,
Is a little lower than usual, the still
ness and the sunshine, together with
the fine skating and the excellent
roads for travel, more than compen-
sated for the brief low temperature.
In fact the month was ideal, and con-
ducive of great contentment, COM
fort and happiness. The total precip-
itation for the month was LA inches
with 14.4O inches of snow, making
fine sleighing for time, and giving
us very seasonable winter month, in
which travel and hauling OF all kinds
was prosecuted with success.

A deal was closed Wednesday
whereby James w. Hall sold his
323-acre stock ranch south of town
to Newton ]. Williams for $3.50.
Mr.. Hall intends holding a sale of
his live stock and personal effects

to the coast and perhaps later to
Alaska.
By the purchase Mr.. Williams Sc
cures one Of the best stock ranches
In this part OF the county and will
prepare to put quite few cattle on
to the place early in the spring. The
farm Is well watered and has quite
a lot Of outside range available, be-
sides having sufficient hay land
to provide feed for quite q herd of
cattle during the winter months when
the range Is covered with snow.
There are also several acres sown to
alfalfa, which will provide good pas
turage for hogs or hay for cattle and
horses. Mr.. Williams considers him.
self fortunate In making the purchase
and hopes to branch out into the
stock business quite literally in time
to come.-Chronicle.

Preparations have been completed
and the final program drawn for the
six days lectures and demonstrations
which are to open at the university
Of Idaho on January IL for the farm
ers, orchardists and stockraisers of
the state. The work of the week will
include a special course of studies in
live stock, dairying, horticulture and
home economics, and circulars and
other publicity material are being ex-
tensively distributed throughout the
state rendering to farmers, orchardists
and livestock men in all sections of
Idaho an invitation to avail themsel-
YES of the opportunity of studying
the best methods of selecting, breed
ing and feeding the different classes
of live stock and the best practice
in orcharding and gardening.
The farmers wives and daughters
are also invited to attend and for
them a special course of lectures and
demonstrations in home economics,
including cooking, sewing and home
making has been arranged.
The weeks work will be conducted
by members of the university fac

the university field staff and a num-
ber of the most successful stockmen.
farmers and orchardists of the north
west. Only the most practical work
along the lines above indicated will
be given. Special rates have been Sc

Mr.. MacCorquodale also states that

culture and stock raising and home
industry. Miss Shepherd realized the
Importance of more practical training
along industrial lines and with the
cooperation of Professor w. ii. Olin,
the county superintendents and teach
ers. organized thirty potatoe culture
clubs and twenty sewing clubs Pu
pills and parents were interested and
the work prospered. In 1918, the
work was extended into a greater
number of communities, and corn and
bread clubs were added There were
500 clubs formed with a membership
of 5000 boys and girls wha received
practical instruction in elementary
agriculture, sewing, cooking and house
keeping.
The study of successful poultry cul-
ture and home canning will be includ-
ed in the club work for 1914. The
main object of the club work Is to
promote greater interest In farm life
and the scientific study of agricul-
ture, to educate the young people to
do useful things and to be good citi-
zens.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture, the state department of pub.
lie instruction, the agricultural COL
lege, the county superintendents are
all cooperating and by a united and
definite effort, hope to increase the
agricultural products of the state,
awaken an interest In the wonderful
opportunities which the country Of
fers the trained, educated farmer,
and thus improve rural conditions.
Thorough courses of study are out
lined which the pupils follow out In
their home garden plots. The chill
dren are required to keep complete
and accurate reports of thier work
and thus learn to keep farm record,
in a business-like manner.
The future of American agricul.
ture is largely dependent on the boys
and the girls OF to-day, hence the
schools of our country have a great
duty to perform. The district, coun
ty and state fair associations are
helping this great movement by of
fering many valuable prizes to the
boys and the girls of the state Like
wise have several of our prominent
public spirited citizens literally re
sponded and made donations of valu
able pure bred stock TO the prize win
nerS.
Twenty five of the successful com
! petitors were entertained free last
year at the Boise state fair, with
their transportation paid for them.

Welser north except, however, where
slight variations will be required be-
cause of the lay of the country. This
highway will be one of the most
scenic of them all and will provide
access to the very heart of Idaho.
At the meeting of the highways
commission various appropriations
were made. OF the funds now avail
able Washington county will receive
$1O,0OO.OO, Canyon $12,5O0.00 and
Adams $6,0O0.O0. The money to be
available for early use. In north Ida
ho, Nez Perce county IS to have 40
miles of the state road and will get
$4,000 from the state fund; Latah
county has As miles of state road
and will get $4,000; Kootenai coun-
ty Is to have A miles and Is to get
$4,000; Shoshone county Is to have
80 miles and is to get $12, 900; Lewis
county is to have 25 miles and is to
to get $4,000; Idaho county is to
have 80 miles and Is to get $4,000;
Bonner county is to have "a miles
and is to get $4,000.
One of the most important steps
taken by the commissioners was the
decision to send Chairman Theodore
Turner to Washington d. G. where
he will confer with Idaho's congress
sional representatives and try and
secure an appropriation of 500, 100000
for the north and south line through
Adams and Idaho counties. The For
est department will be asked to rem
der aid inasmuch as that road will be
through National forests almost the
entire distance from Council to be-
yond the boundaries of Idaho county.
That this help will be secured is evi-
dent from information the commits
sion has at hand. Senator Warren OF
Wyoming has introduced bill asking
for the sale of 250,000 acres of pub
lie land in Idaho the proceeds from
which is to be given for the improve
ment of the highways. Congress
man Shakelford of California has ad-
vised the commission that he believes
that the Forest Service will listen
to a proposal and advised that a del
egate be sent to confer with those
officials. 1t seems to be the general
opinion that government aid should
be given to those sections of the
state roads that go through the re-
serves. Strong pressure will certain
ly be brought to bear to bring this
about
Work has actually started on the
road from Pocatello to Bear Lake.
The contract has been let and within
thirty days the Commission expects
to close with contractors for 800
miles more.
Now that the State Highways Com
mission has taken the action that 1t
has it is time for the people of this
county to act on the proposed bond
election here. News of this kind will
doubtless give added impetus to the
movement and something lis expect
ed to develop soon.

Bayonets are fixed and the platoons
deployed in an instant and with a
'hurah' the men charge forward
against the enemy. These disappear,
however, falling back on the real posi-
ton, the village itself. 1t is 400 yards
away, the charge takes from our over
taxed lungs every last atom of breath.
THE silhouette of the village stands
out dark before US and its walls spray
our lead and fire. The church spire
splits out sparks like a fireworks dis
play piece. Long streams of fire play
ing from every aperture, and around
our ears whistles and whizzes tie
hail of steel. We trip over an unc@s-
pected wire, splash headlong into a
ditch full of water, climb the chuCcl-
yard wall. House after house is tai
en- with the bayonet, house after house
bursts into flames, then pursuit con-
tinues through the village and for sew
eral miles beyond. 1t is almost dawn
before the exhausted troops come to
rest and fling themselves down to
sleep rife in hand and without trou-
bling themselves to unsling their
heavy packs from their backs. Such
a charge with empty rifles, such a
German hurrah the enemy cannot
themselves reproduce.
How often have l laughed to myself

them, had just appeared, steaming de-

enemy had occupied the village of Mar

Son of Former Secretary Of State
Separated From SaIesgirI
Bride Six Weeks.

NEW YORK Jan. 10.-When Phi
lander c. Knox, Jr., son of the former
Secretary of State, sailed this week
for Bermuda without his wife, it was
the sequel of a separation which has
already lasted six weeks, and which,
it is understood will eliminate in the
courts.
Young Knox was accompanied by
his mother
The romance which is so unhappily
young Knox eloped with pretty Miss
May Boiler, a salesgirl in Providence
Or. I) store.
Knox was then a student and there
was much parental anger following
his escapade. The family purse
strings were knotted against him. But
the young man went to work in an
automobile factory.
There was later partial recon
Citation between the then Secretary
of State and his son, and this was
followed by a more or less harmoni-
Gus reunion at Wayne, near Phila :
delphia.
VI tAii &C SCoi youiiS anu w D.
Knox have lived careless and some
what reckless life at Wayne, with
much time and money given to the
acquisition and wearing out of high
powered automobiles. Close personal
friends of the KonXes thought the
young people were living in harmony.
but personal friends are sometimes
deceived.
The first intimation Of a break came
Unexpectedly a few days ago, when a
friend of young Mrs. Knox drove to
her Midland avenue house, Wayne
and to her surprise found the house
vacant and stripped of all its furnish
ings.
That led to inquiries, but they were
so quietly prosecuted chat it was not
until after young knoX's departure for
Bermuda that the extent of the up
break was discovered.
II was learned that two weeks ago
Mrs. Knox, Jr., took an apartment on
the fourth floor of a house, No. 100
Pine street, Philadelphia, and that
four weeks before that her husband
had gone to live at the home OF his
father in Valley Forge.
1t was also learned in Philadelphia
that for some time there had been
what may be called financial stria-
gency in the affairs of the young
Knoxes. A number of civil suits to
recover overdue bills were started W
tradesmen.
