HAIL
STORM CROSSED THE
ABERDEEN SECTION

The Aberdeen Times reports a
severe hail storm crossing that sec
tion mile wide on Tuesday of last
week, precipitating chunks of ice the
size of walnuts and covering the
ground to depth of couple of
inches. 1t destroyed most Of the
crops on a number of farms, and
partially destroyed much more. Some
wheat was about ready to cut and
was beaten out Of the heads. Some
of it was not so well matured and
was whitfield to shreds. Sugar beets
had the foliage riJdled so it is doubt
full whether they will mature.
In one pasture herd of hogs ran
into corner and punched up to es-
cape the pelting, and nine Of them
smothered. In one yard number of
fowls we're killed by the pelting.

Senator w. f. Borah
Presidential Possibility

as fully as six thousand words of
copy One can take that illustration
for gauge, and everything Borah
has done in public life will fit it to
the last notch. He is a progressive
but he isn't afraid to be seen in the
company of reactionaries when they
are behaving themselves; and he is
IA reactionary when his fellow pro-
gressives are inviting the attentions
of the fool killer.
When Borah went to the senate
the ruling powers decided, because
of his prosecution Of labor leaders,
that Borah would be good man to
make chairman of the committee on
education and labor. To them labor
meant violence, and they figured that
Borah the senator would be Borah
the prosecutor. AS result, probably
to the amazement of those who didn't
understand him, Borah reported out
IAO Ol6uL-HOuI DIil lOl SONClAluChI
contracts, the child-labor bill, the bill
creating the department of commerce
and labor and making its head cabi-
net officer, and they were passed. No
labor bills were allowed to slumber
in committee; they were reported out
and voted up or voted down. There
was something doing.
The truth is that the then ruling
powers in Washington judged hastily.
When the eight-hour fight for under
ground miners was up in Idaho, a
resolution favoring it was submitted
to the committee on resolutions of
the republican state convention and
turned down. Some years before that
Borah had prosecuted certain miner
leaders for lawlessness and had con-
yicted them-that was before the
Haywood-Moyer trials but the
miners nevertheless appealed to him;
and Borah offered the resolution on
The floor fthe convention and had

Perhaps the most interesting per-
sonal study in the United States SEN
ate is William Edgar Borah of Idaho
To the small eyes that peep through
fence holes he is riddle, but to the
man on the inside he is easily under
stood. If he were a baseball umpire,
the crowd would mob anyone who
cried unfair" at one of his decisions.
They might not see the play clearly,
but they would know Borah was
there with his eyes glued to the sit
|uation, and they would have supreme
confidence in his decision. That is
the way the farmer, the miner, the
doctor, and the lawyer out in Idaho
feel about Borah. He is a type of
the old-time senator who creates as
we'll as follows the public sentiment
of his state. To the people of Idaho
lie is Bill" or Billy" a nickname
not based on hail-fellow popularity,
but on confidence, respect and esteem
from long knowledge and friendship.
They follow his star because they
know it shoots straight. They bank
on Borah, not merely because they
like him, but because they know his
two feet are planted solidly on the
ground; and because his eloquence
powerful and plastic as it is, skirts
the hilltops but never gets out of
sight of the gravel
Borah's argument to the jury in
the prosecution of William D. Hay
wood, secretary of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, for the murder
of former Governor Frank Steunen-
berg of Idaho, lived up to the praises
of those who lauded it in advance.
1t was a powerful battering ram Of
law, logic, and fact, and it compro-
missed nowhere; but when he had fin
ished, Haywood's inavlid wife, seated
In her wheel chair, shook his hand
and thanked him for his fairness.

DOLLAR BILL FIRE

The Dollar Bill store at Pocatello
was destroyed by fire the first of
the week with loss of over $50, 900
worth of goods, covered in part by
insurance.
The business was owned by Leo
N. Lewis, proprietor of the Dollar
Bill store at Blackfoot. He had a
large consignment of goods in his
warehouse with which he will stock
his store which he will open as soon
as he can get suitable location.

FORFTHE FAIR


The board of directors for the best
fair in the state held meeting Mon
day evening, the first meeting for a
couple of weeks, Mr.. Duckworth, the
chairman, having been at San Fran
cisco.
The aviation committee is still
working on the job of getting a bird
man for the week, and Mr.. Duck
worth reported having seen two
flights at the exposition that were
very gratifying.
w. T. Ward & Sons have complet-
ed the erection of the ladies rest
room at the grounds. F. =. Dekay
submitted plans for cowbarn 100
feet long and wide enough for two
rows of stalls, with feed rack mang-
ers at the center. The board want
to arrange for plenty of room this
year, so all stock can be housed or
penned according to the wishes OF
the owners. They did not decide
whether to build according to the
plans submitted because Mr.. Ken
nedy was not present, and they want
ed his approval of whatever was to
be built for stock
1t has been found that the poultry
house was not large enough, and
that it stands right to allow
draught through it whenever there
is any wind, and they want to over
come this by turning it at right
angles with the prevailing wind.
They are considering an addition to
it, part of the addition to be used
for granary.
It was reported that number OF
trades are not represented in the
premium list, and the board decided
to include exhibits of printing, photo
graphy, blacksmithing, shoe repair
ing, tire repairing, products of the
lathe or any industrial and mechani-
cal products. Applications for space
should be made early, and the board
will find room for them, no matter
what they are or where they come
from; Blackfoot is going to have a
big fair and continue to deserve the
name of having the best in the state.
Miss Kelley, the lady who has
charge of the canning clubs for girls,
and co-operates with the state and
federal government in the work OF
the potato clubs and the pig clubs,
has asked that the Blackfoot fair
be made the place of exhibit and the
place of judging all these things, and
that is exactly what the Blackfoot
fair is for. Miss Kelley was quoted
as having said she had visited all the
Idaho fairs and that the one at Black
foot was the best and the most USE
full in promoting the agricultural, in
dustrial and education interests. The
board decided to do all they could
to accommodate Miss Kelley's work
and the groups Of young people who
might come in connection with the
contests. These young folks are the
pioneers In a good work, and If they
will make an interesting exhibit that
will arouse interest and emulation
Of their work, it is to be encouraged
as the very best and most valuable
of service.
A great Improvement is to be
made in the manner of handling the
crowds this year at the entrance.
They have always been obliged to
enter and go out at the one place,
pedestrians and vehicles all mingled
together and at great Inconvenience
and danger to all. This year they
will have the ticket office and gate
for pedestrians at the corner of the
grounds nearest to town, and there
will be a broad cinder walk leading

Washington-It is officially confirm
ed by Consul Silliman that Carranza' s
army. under Gonzales, has re-oc-
cupied Mexico City. An American
Red Cross message from the Mexican
capital says there have been many
cases of death and collapse from star

The Red Cross message read:
'"Prices already are prohibitive and
there is practically no corn in the
city. There are authentic cases of
death and collapse from starvation.
Some people are eating leaves, grass,
weeds, dead horses and mules. Silli-
man reported the capital occupied

used to further the schemes of the contending leaders is indicated by a pathetic little story carried over the news wires from Brownsville Sunday night. Here it is
 Brownsville, Texas, April 4.- Easter Sunday passed with only oc- casional firing in the Matamoros trenches. Juan Perales, aged 12 years, Villa cavalryman among the wounded from the Matamoros right ing, who is In the American R td Cross hospital here, was operated on today for shattered knee. He prom ised the nurses he would not cry if after the operation they would give b1m a candy Easter rabbit, one with a tiny basket of eggs in it's mouth. He screamed little but choked his sobs and the nurses gave him the bunny rabbit"
 We'll may mothers contemplate with horror this feeding of children to the cannon of schemers. Men fight for principles, but does anyone be- lieve that little Juan FGrales, "a Villa cavalryman" of 12 years who is comforted in his pain by a bunny rabbit" is stopping bullets because he is inspired by desire for liberty?

BRUSHING UP THE TOWN.

All over town busy housewives ara beginning to figure on how to fling themselves into the vortex of spring housecleaning, that period of physi- cal toil and mental worry in which the head of the family must join. Some men, who value comfort more than spick and span cleanliness, call ii the dread season.
 Again all over town the whack Of the hammer is being heard, as count lSss amateur carpenters attend to sLndry little repairs that have been urging them on all winter, but which somehow nobody thinks it is stylish sc tackle until spring.
 The more determined hammering of regular carpenters also is being heard. Wood is being hauled about to be incorporated in the improve strength here, more beauty there, and increased comfort everywhere, is the trinity of spring house improvement.
 Cleaning up time likewise is here. There is no exact date upon which to do away with the rubbish on the premises, and those who begin the work early will attain an early satis faction. This cleaning up process rarely ever passes by without some extra muscular effort on the part of batter familias. He cannot avoid considerable heavy lifting, and this kind of hard work has tendency to dam pen enthusiasm. But, goaded on by kind urgings of the woman of the house. "dad' wrestles with the mani- fold duties thus imposed upon him and probably will feel we'll repaid if given a need of extra credit.
 What amounts to nearly duty is to paint up. There is no excuse for 8 lack of paint except the price of the coloring fluid and the effort nec- essary to apply it. Both, however, are so insignificant in comparison with the results achieved that it is a remarkable thing that more anna teur painters are not developed every spring This does not apply of course to what are commonly termed "blg jcbs," and which require the servlcec of professional house painters They, too are ready for the rush.
 Talk about turning over new leaf! Spring is the time when every householder starts a nice, new clean one and is glad of the chance
 And when it's over, the town will look better and everybody in it will feel better.

PRAY ON GODS TEMPLE.

An event took place in California Sunday that shows how people are turning more and more to God in their. bewilderment. SAeptics may profess to believe that the world is growing worse, but facts prove other wise. And this California event is one of the facts. For when 15,000 peo- pie climb up mountain to assemble in prayer, they are moved by spirit of good influence, and their public acknowledgment of their depend ence upon the Almighty is certain tO extend that influence to others.
 A news dispatch telling of the event reads:
 Riverside, Cal, April 4.-More. than 15,0OO persons climbed Mount Roupl-- doux before dawn today and at. the foot of a huge cross on its crest knelt in prayer. The service was most unusual. =a. v
 The services began as the Sun rose and big chorus chanted Easter anthems.

The Dawn of Christianity
As Des cribed is THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original GreAke

 10. I was in the Spirit on the Lords day, and heard behind me great voice, as of a trumpet,
 Il. Saying, l am Alpha and Ome- ga, the f1rst and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, ana unto Tnyatira, and unto Sardls, ana unto Philadelphia, and unto Ladolcea.
 12. And l turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned l saw seven golden candlesticks;
 13. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son o1 man, clothed with garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
 14. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as flame of fire
 15. And. his feet like unto rlne brass, as if they burned in furn- ace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
 16. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out Of ms mOutn went a sharp two-edged sword; ano his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
 17. And when I saw him, 1 fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; am the first and the last:
 IS. l am he that iveth, and was dead; and, behold, 1 am alive TOT eyermore, Amen; and have the Keys Of hell and of death.
