 All substances. from the heaviest metals-to the rlishtest gpses. are elec- tric, but they -diffcr widely in their electric qualities. Electricity is Called positiye~when It exists or Is exeited in, any body In an amount in e3cess of the amount natural to that bbdy..

ASubnariine
Episode
By F. A. mitchell

There was time when warfare. its
appurtenances, its novelties. indeed,
everything pertaining to 1t. was public
property. The Japanese changed all
that, making everything secret. Since
the Russo-Japanese fight the war cor
respondent has had hard time of 1t.
and many officers are pledged not to
reveal what occurs IN the line of their
duty. When was assigned to the
command of submarine | was obliged
to make pledges that prevent my Civ
ing certain points connected with this
story.
Before | was ordered to attempt to
blow up an enemy's ship | was given
time to get used to my submarine.
This did not take long. though at first
confess sinking down under water
made me creep bit. When I had had
Il couple of weeks of 1t | was ordered
ON several attempts that were all fail
ures. The difficulty in handling a sub
marine is that when beneath the sur
face you can't see anything and when
above 1t. IL you are near an enemy's
ship. yon are liable to get knocked out
by shot.

Young girls contemplating seeking
employment in California this summer
are strongly warned not to go there.
At the conference of committees Of
the general Federation of Women 8
Clubs, held at Chicago last summer
the chairman of the social and IN
dustrial conditions department passed
resolutions urging every state fed
Grafton of clubs to assume the re-
sponsibility of printing and posting
throughout their respective states a
warming to keep girls from going
alone to San Farancisco in 1915. The
committee wishes the clubs of the
country give the utmost publicity con-
corning this danger.
Idaho's committee is composed of
Mrs. E. j. Dockery, Boise, chair
man, Mrs. Isham Sedgwick, Wendell,
Mrs. George Axline, Albion and Mrs.
c. j. Orland, Moscow. The MEM
bers are urging all the papers of the
state to reprint this warning that
the Idaho girls may not fall into
danger.

prostitution and are doing all in their
power to stay the evil.
However this controversy ends, one
thing must be remembered. The vice
that sacrifices the girlhood and boy
hood of the country and brings con-
tamination upon innocent wives and
children that vice intends to flourish
somewhere during the worlds fair.
Let it be remembered that the
country will be secured for girls to
supply the demand for this nefarious
business, and every means that is
possible for man to conceive will be
uesd to snare and mislead these girls
in order to secure them.
Every girl should be warned against
advertisements of positions in San
Francisco, for every place that is
worth while will be taken, and the
door that is open to the strange girl
will be the door that leads to perdi-
tion. The papers that do their duty
to the girlhood of the nation will
publish the warning, and women of
every town and city who would pro-
tect the youth of the land will sound
the alarm and caution and guard the
girls of their>neighborhood.

Prizes Awarded In Poem Contest.

Two weeks ago prizes were offered
for correcting the spelling and pune
tuating a poem which was published
in this paper at that time. Several
papers were handed in but none of
them correct in every respect although
several of them were good.
Considering the papers for punctu-
alton and spelling the prizes are
awarded to the following persons !:
First prize, a book, is awarded to
Nellie Chase Of Ahsahka; the second
prize being a years subscription to
the Clearwater Republican, is award
ed to Archie Hawkins of Orofino,
Dist. No. Z. Both of those winning
these prizes were students in the
eighth grade.
The poem in corrected form is as
follows:
A little boy said: Mother, dear,
May go out to play?
The sun is bright, the air is clear,
Oh mother, don't say nayn
eco forth, my son, the mother said /;
His aunt said: Take your sleigh,
Your nice new sled, all painted red,
But do not lose your way.
"Ah, no!'' he cried, and sought the
street
With heart so full of giee
The weather changed and snow and sleet
/ nd ra;, fa1I foot and free
Through snowdrifts great, through
wat'ry pool,
He flew with might and main
Said he: Though | would walk by
am not right, tits plain.
I'd like to meet some kindly soul
For here new dangers wait,
And yonder stares a dangerous hole,
Too slow has been my gait.
A piece of bread, nice hot steak,
d choose if were home;
This cruel fate my heart will break,
love not thus to roam.
I'm am weak and pale; I've missed
my road. "
But here a cart came past
He and his sled were safely lowed
| Back to his home at last.

Helen Ferguson's Story.

The testimony Of Helen Fergu-
son. presented to-day. is another
OF those incidents dragged into
the trial to bolster up the fiimsy
structure of suspicion the Solici-
tor General had erected. Miss
Ferguson had asked Frank for
Mary's pay on Friday night. she
testified. and it had been refused
her. Therefore. Dorsey argued,
Frank must have been premedi-
tating this attack on Friday.
When we come to the cross
examination, we find that Helen
never had asked Frank for Mary's
pay before, that Frank did not
even know Helen Ferguson's
name. that Frank never had paid
her off. that she did not call for
the pay envelope by number. as
she had done when getting 1t
from the man who regularly paid
off, and. finally. that she turned
away and left the office as Frank
was endeavoring to tell her
something further, evidently in
explanation.
From other witnesses to follow
W" will learn that it was not
customary To give one employc
the pay envelope of another un-
less II was pretty we'll established
that tn" payment was authorized.
one seriously may doubt that Miss
Ferguson even asked for the en-
velope Of Mary Phagan on read
ing the testimony OF Miss Mag
noiia Kennedy. who was directly

not hear her ask

to make the case against Frank
stronger and to eliminate some or
the most glaring OF the incon-
sistencies.
The time element, as brought
out In Mr.. Rosser's cross-exami-
nation in this installment, in It
SELF, were there nothing else to
disprove Conley's tale. would be
sumcient to show the negro's
story an impossibility.
Conley said fatty that he did not
leave the factory until 1.3O that
afternoon and that he left Frank
IN there when he went. But AL
bert Mcknight. whose testimony
also appears this week, declared
positively that he saw Frank at
home at 1.3O or possibly even be-
fore this time. 1t might have
beon 1.2o, he said. Mcknight was
a witness for the prosecution.
Frank manifestly could not have
been In the factory and at home,
mile away, at the same time
Mcknight was corroborated by
half dozen witnesses called by
the defense.
But. II Conley was mistaken
and Frank did leave the factory
earlier--at / o'clock, as he said he
did. or even at 1.1O-it would
have been humanity impossible to
have done all the things Conley.
described in the time between 4
minutes Of and or 10 o'clock.

the States theory Is untenable.
