death like a rat in trap this morn

He had forgotten his night key to

turned home he lifted the heavy iron
grating fitted In the sidewalk near
the house. Below was a sheer drop
to the basement floor. The grating
weighs 100 pounds. Penlnsca propped
up the grating by rolling An empty
barrel under It's edge. Then he
crawied down intending TO knock the
barrel away after he got below.
But the barrel slipped away. The
edge Of the grating struck Peninsch
on the back Of the neck. His body
swung beneath.

SEEN In THE BOUDOIR
Petticoats, Undermuslins and Negligees Turn
From Their Straight and Narrow Way
to Follow Lead Of Fullness
HOOP SKIRT PRACTICAL FASHION

NEW YORK, May 26.-No easy time
will milady have with her lingerie this
summer, for lingerie having forsaken
its straight and narrow way shows no
signs of slackening its mad rush toward
fulness. 1t is useless to deceive your
self by thinking you can make your
petticoats and slips of last season do
for this. The old tube-like undermus-
Inns are out of the question with the
voluminous skirt of the present mode.
Far better bow to fashion and buy a
hoop skirt.
If hoop skirt sounds far fetched to
you, it only because you have not seen
the dainty creation masquerading under
the old name. They are useful and
graceful, these skirts with the reed, and
they are actually going to wear them
with filmy frocks this summer. One
store features several in white and
pastel shades of crepe de chine with q
flexible wire inserted above a deep lace
fl0unce. As the skirt measures only
two yards where the wire is placed, it
acts the same as stiffly starehed skirt
without the bulk and clumsiness. An
other house, in the very heart of the
shopping district, heretofore noted for
its conservativeness, shows a model of
ribbon and net, conspicuously placed in
the bOudOir Win0Ow The IN ;<.o1f :.

Significant of the change in under
wear fashions, lingerie petticoats meas
ure from three to ten yards in width.
Now, when you buy an underskirt you
do patriotic act, for these cambria
and muslin skirts consumed a large
share of those famous bales of cotton
we heard so much of last fall Some
especially pretty fine cambria and mus
lin models are shown in three and five
cores, trimmed with GALLONS of en-
broidery and Valenciennes, filet or IL
ere lace. These threaten the vogue
of crepe de chine which has come to
be almost staple. The novelties of
the season are skirts of null combined
with narrow net ruffles An Empire
design, made to wear with the new
Empire dresses, is fashioned in this
fabric and hangs straight from the bust.
All in all, however, staples outnumber
the novelties this season. The white
washable sateen skirts offered with
wide-pleated flounces are splendid to
wear with thin frocks. The texture is
so close, that there ism t the slightest
chance of the wearer's figure being sill
houetted in the sum.
Drop skirts for cloth suits are, of
course, more moderate in width, meas
uring from two to three and a half
yards. Here, taffeta predominates, and
as in the suit itself, blue is the leading
color, although there are some white
taffetas and Dolly Warden effects,
which bid fair to be extremely popular
during the summer. Ruchings and pink
ed ruffles are the two modes Of trim
ming. 1t is surprising how many designs
can DO accomplished with these. Al

STATE FAIR WILL BE HELD
AT CALDWELL IN FUTURE:

A meeting Of the Canyon County
Fair association was held Friday even
ing Of last week. At this meeting it
was decided to make this state in
stead of a county fair. In line with
this plan the name of the association
was changed to the Idaho State Fair
association. The territory from which
exhibits will be received for competi-
tion for prizes is the entire state.
The meeting was well attended. There
wore representatives present from Ada
Owyhee, Gem, Gooding and Canyon
counties. All present endorsed the
move. The outsiders were more en-
thusiastic than the local men and that
is going some. All felt that Caldwell
was the place for the state fair.

and one Of the new shirred, circular
pillows of the same satin, to tuck be-
hind her back. Breakfast jackets Of
lierre lace and point d'esprit are also
shown. Each of these has its own par
ticular boudoir cap and here again
names come in play. The Normandy
cap Of maize, pink, white, or lavender
crepe de chine takes it's style from the
headdress Of the Normandy peasant
and the "Colleen' cap is a confection
of ecru net. Oriental lounging robes
are also receiving considerable atten-
tion, on account of their new shaded
colorings. One butterfly kimono of fine
silk crepe is embroidered in a wisteria
pattern, graduating in tone from deep
purple to white.
Styles for the boudoir go more than
skin deep. Besides the kimonos and
dainty caps, there are supporters and
stays to think Of. For those who do
not wear corset when lounging in
their own rooms, there are round gar
tiers of broad elastic, covered with

Decorate your Decoration day table
with rooster-such is the advice being
sent out by tho states department OF
farm markets.
In the interest of the infertile egg,
next Saturday, May Goth, has been
designated as "Idaho Rooster Day.
when every farmer and poultryman in
the state is urged to kill or pen up
every male bird in his poultry yard.
"The purpose in setting aside a
special date for the elimination of the
male bird in the poultry flock, says
Director Scholtz is to focus the at
tention of producers ON the uselessness,
and even financial loss, in letting the
rooster run with the hens after the
Matching season-as we'll as to direct
the attention of consumers to the su-
perior quality of sterile eggs.
"The opinion seems to prevail quite
generally, even among farmers, that it
is necessary for a rooster to be among
hens in order that their laying qualities
may not be curtailed. This is a mis-
take. The cock bird should be allowed
with the hens only during the breeding
season, as infertile eggs, Of course, will
not hatch, but there is no sense what.
ever in permitting the male birds with
the flock after the Matching season.
Fertile eggs spoil very quickly when
subjected to the ordinary methods of
on the farm and in the mar
kets during the hot summer months.
1nfertile eggs will keep in good condi-
ton in temperature that would cause
fertile eggs to spoil.'
The federal department of agriculture
estimates that the loss from bad eggs
amounts to $4,000, 900 a year, and that
at least one-third is caused by the for
Of "blood rings due to the de-
velopment Of the germs in fertile eggs
by heat. If farmers and poultrymen
will produce infertile eggs this loss
can be prevented, and the other losses
san further be reduced by better
of handling and marketing"
Experience and investigation have
shown that every community the
country over, which properly organizes,
grades and labels it's product,
Ind furnishes guaranteed sterile egg,
experiences no difficulty in finding
profitable markets. This department
tands ready and anxious to assist any
IDAHO egg producing community both
n organizing and in the grading and Il
marketing of their product"
