examined in the probate court as to
her sanity After listening to the
testimony of several neighbors and
friends Of the unfortunate woman, ant
the medical examination by DR.. Pc
trie, Judge Jensen committed her to
the asylum, to where she was taken
that afternoon.

by chronic melancholy due to family

best 160 acres between Blackfoot and
Idaho Falls, but she prevailed on him
moving to Oregon and kept him roam
ing about until he lost everything, and

released after several months con-
finement and brought her home to
care for her, and have done so for
quite while until she became abso-
lutely uncomfortable and unreason-
able. she has five grown sons and
a 9-year-old daughter who accompan

anccs of support from a large per-

dilapidated condition Of the Jail and

He found that years had crumbled

missioners were mere responsible for

were loath to spend more money for

county jail was not the worst place
for a prisoner in the state, notwith-
standing it's location in basement Of
one Of the oldest county buildings he

FOUND JAIL AND ASYLUM
IN GOOD CONDITION

James T. Wallis, Idaho's pure food
and sanitary inspector, was in Black.
foot last Wednesday on an official
visit. While here he called on the
county solons who were in regular
session and received from them a
hearty welcome, and all possible cour.
tesies. and was piloted by them
through the various departments of
~he court house He found several
minor causes for complaint, such as
accumulations of dust here and there,
and window panes that were not as
clean as they might be. When he was
informed that it was the jailors duty
to attend to the house cleaning of the
county building, he was surprised and
stated that it is impossible for the
jailcr to care for this building pxo-
perly in connection with his many
other duties. He recommended that
a janitor be employed to attend to
keeping the departments in a clean
and sanitary condition. He also
recommended that the toilet on tho
second story be better ventilated,
which the commissioners promised
to do.
His visit to he basement Jail was
very satisfactory, and he stated that
was in far better and more sani-
tary condition than when he first Wis
tied and the only fault he found
was with the toilet, which he recon-
mended be better ventilated The
walls were recently painted, the cells
and corridors in as clean a condition
as could reasonable be expected, and
Gle bedding very clean and tidy. He
spoke very complimentary Of Sheriff

said he had done all he could be ex

It's High Time the South
Learned to Store Its Cotton

For years and years, the South has
raised it's cotton crop without adequate
storage facilities. From the fields to
the gins and from the gins to the rail-
road station and dumped at the COM
press and sea ports for what was Of
fered has been the rule.
Even. a few farmers holding their
crops, few days congestion, has filed
the streets of towns and villages with
cotton exposed to the weather.
The place to store cotton is on the
farm, in the small towns and villages,
and this year more so than ever. At
least this is the advice the Texas man
ufacturers and wholesalers are giving
They declare the farmers should store
cotton on their farms in community
warehouses and that country merch-
ants should accept warehouse receipts
in payment of accounts or as security
and collateral on accounts. Manufac
turers and jebbers in Texas declare
they will receive these warehouse re-
ceipts as security on their accounts
with the country merchants and con-
tinue to sell and credit them. In this
way cotton will be taken off the mar
ket indefinitely in large amounts, until
the demand starts up, and a satisfac-
tory price can be secured.
The South must learn to store its
cotton and to use cotton storage as IN
asset. It's folly to dump it on the mar
ket and to sacrifice it. It's foolish 10
leave it in the fields or to let the
weather ruin it. Farmers should safely
store cotton this year. The place to
store it is on the farm and in commun-

There has been much talk today the

tongues have been waging in widely
varying languages. How long do words

afflicted have been consoled, the weak

President Wilson's proclamation,
designating Sunday, October 4th, as (.
day of prayer for peace in Europe, is
indicative of the beautiful Christian
spirit Of the man. His light shines
clearly from the highest hill in Amerl-
can life.
Already we have heard the question
asked, why did he put it Off SO long
Does he think prayer will be easier to
answer when the war is nearer to a

Such questions are downright wick
ed. He meant only to give the procla-
nation time to reach all the remote
sections Of our country, even TO the
crossroads post Offices far from rail-
ways. He also wants to give the people
time to think over the matter.
One of the Atlanta papers calls foy
its readers to submit written prayers
to be used that day. 1t wants a prayer
of 100 to $50 words, so simple and so
beautiful that it may be adopted by
everybody for use on that day.

lives of others. But he who, in the
midst Of these chaotic scenes, can
listen attentively to the whisperings of
the still, small voice, thereby nourishes
his soul to a degree of bigness and
strength that make him a power for
righteousness in any community. But
the real secret of Undertaking our
highest thoughts in form of deeds is to
act readily and willingly upon the
promptings of the inner spirit. To
procrastinate, however, is in time to
render this inner voice forever silent.

The Good and the Bad
tenlptationi

(From "The symphony Calendar" by
William A. McKeeyer.)
Almost daily in every breast there
is some tragedy enacted. A plot and A
counterplot, hero and a victim, a
climax and catastrophe, remorse
and restitution-all those confusedly
intermingle with scenes of our inner
consciousness. And he who selects out
of it all as the type of his dominating
thought the morbid, the hateful and
the lustful thus starves and shrivels up
