THE TRUE HARBiNGER

Most harbingers of spring are
fakes; the man depending on them
wakes to find they fooled him and he
sees he has the grip, or some dis
ease. He sees some harbingers on
deck, and says, "The Winters gone,
by heck; a soft wind from the south
land blows, and | shall change my
underclothes, and put my overcoat
in soak, and dance and sing and laugh
and joke" And then a blizzard
ZONES along, and shows him where
he got in wrong. Oh, dont't assume
that spring is here, when jimcrow
harbingers appear; but wait until the
clucking hen is fussing round the
yard again, intent on Matching sundry
chicks into this world OF politics. :,
And don't be fooled by pullets young,
which cluck around ere spring Is
sprung; they're too impatient In the
cause; the fire Of youth Is In their
craws. But wait serenely till you've
heard the clucking OF the wise old
bird. which has outlived the zeal Of
youth, and long since cut her wisdom
tooth. When she gets busy. when
she begs for nest of straw and four
teen eggs, then, gentle reader. you
may shed your underwear OF flannel
red; for when the old hen plays her
game, we realize that spring has
come. Walt Mason.

DIAM ONDS AND THE BIG
WAR

Even the diamond industry is af'
fected by the war. Diamond cut
ting centered in Antwerp, Belgium,
and Amsterdam, Holland. but since
the declaration of hostilities, the fac
tories have closed and diamond pro
duction has almost ceased.
Describing the disorganization OF
the industry, writer for the Geo,
graphic Society says, not only has
the cutting of diamonds almost ceas'
ed, but the largest diamond mines
in the world have been shut down
since last August. More than 80
per cent of the annual diamond out
put comes from South Africa. from
mines within the war area whose op
Grafton has been suspended. 1t is
feared in Belgium that the Antwerp
diamond cutting industry has been
ruined past repair; the Rue de Peli-
can has been deserted. In Amster-
dam, the other great diamond cut
ting and polishing center, work has
almost completely halted. The work
rooms of London and Paris are re
ported to be as quiet as those OF the
Dutch.
Diamond production is of consider
able geographical localization. The
stones were produced through the
centuries in India, and many are
still mined there, though few of this
output leaves the country. Likewise,

EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS
IN ITALY CONTINUE
Tuscany Feels Slight Tremor; Sub
terranean Rumblinss Follow Dis
turbanee; No Damage
Reported

Florence, March "a slight earth.
quake shock lasting four seconds.
which was felt in Tuscany and other
sections in the central part Of Italy
Thursday night, caused no fatalities
and only slight material damage, &C.
eording to reports received here from
various points. A panic was caused
among the people In the districts
where the shock was felt and 1t was
feared 1t might presage a repetition
Of the recent disaster In the Abruzzi
district.
The fact that the tremor was ac.
companied by subterranean rumbling
has given rise to the belief that II
was Of volcanic origin.
Reports from Tuscany and a por.
ton OF the Emelia region say the
shock was felt everywhere In those
sections with more or less severity
At Pisa, the first shock was followed
soon afterwArd by another. Both
were undulatory from the north to
the south and were attended by un.
der ground rumblings. Many OF the
residents of the city rushed to the
celebrated cathedral, fearing the Of.

tower.

Hard fighting continues in north
Poland between the Russians and
the Germans all along the front be-
tween the Niemen and Vistula rivers
and also between the British, French
and Belgians and Germans on the
western front at various places from
the sand dunes In Belgium to the
crests of the vosges mountains.
Victories for the allies are claim
ed in both the eastern and western
theaters in the latest reports made
by the Russian and French war chan
cellories. Progress for the Mus:ov-
ties In the recapture Of grounl at
different places on the NiemenVis-
tula line and also the taking as pJis-
oners of numerous German officers
and men and the capture of guns and
war stores are recorded by Petrograd.
Two entire companies of Germans
one OF the machine gun arm of the
service and the other Of the Pras'
sian guard-have fallen into the
hands of the French during fierce
engagements, respectively to the
north of Arras and in the Champaign
district. according to Paris.
In addition the French statement
says some $50 yards Of trenches in
the region Of Mesnil and trenches
and ravines northwest of Beausei0ur
were captured by the French during
fighting in which the German losses
are described as having been ex.
tremely high. Twelve attempts BY
the Germans to sap allied advanced
trenches in the sand dunes OF Belgi'
UNI were repulsed.
The lighting which has been IN
progress In the Carpathian passes
for several weeks seemingly has les
sened in violence. Vienna reports
engagements in some sections, but
says that on the whole the situation
remains unchanged. The taking OF
Stanislau, Galicia, and the capture
during the campaigns in that terri
tory of 1853 German officers and s..
522 men, together with guns. horsss
and transport trains, is reported by
Petrograd.

QUARREL OVER BILL
SPLITS IDAHO HOUSE
Democrats and Republicans Start
Feud on Appointment Of
Auditor

|
thirteenth Idaho legislature will ad-
journ some time Sunday, although
midnight of Saturday will be the Of
fetal hour for closing its records,
sine die. was evident today when the
senate, by unanimous vote, passed a
concurrent resolution setting that
time and 8 o'clock of the same night
as the final hour for consideration Of
bills pending before the two houses.
| The house of representatives has not
as yet concurred in the resolution.
Speaker Conner referred it to the
rules committee, which will report
tomorrow. In the meantime the two
houses are endeavoring to clear away
the mass of important legislation
pending,
The senate now has the general ap'
preparation bill that passed the house
last night. 1t reached the upper
! house this morning and was sent to
, the finance committee. Upon the
report Of that committee depends how
much longer the legislature will be
in session. Over the protest Of the
minority the house refused to item
ize the bill, as insisted upon by the
| governor.
The bill reached the senate carry
ing blanket appropriations for each
department of the state government.
The senate may insist on the bill he
ing itemized and amended, which will
require finally the approval Of the
house. This action may put the two
houses at loggerheads. There is
wide speculation in legislative circles
tonight over the senate's action.
A party conflict was the outgrowth
of debate in the house over the Nc
Gowan bill, No. 1886 an act seeking
to create a new auditing system fer
the state. The measure is the re-
suit Of the Investigations Of the leg
islative committee. Among other
things the bill provides that FIVE ex-
ecutive officers In the state govern
ment should employ an auditor to
install the system. The Republican
members were for the bill as drawn.
The Democrats declared 1t was 50
drafted to SLAP the governor" ind
contended he should have the power
Of appointment. A compromise row
appears in sight to place the power
OF putting the auditing system into
effect by comforting 1t on the public
utility commission.
| Among the important bills passed
by the senate were: Senate bill No.
1874, permitting vote on the segre-
cation Of a piece Of Power county
and giving It to Oneida county; SEN
ate bill, No. 221, protecting elk In
all parts of the state except, Fremont
Bonneville, Teton and Bingham coun-
ties; senate bill No. 219. appropriate
ing $1122 20 to Alex Younie and 9TH
ers for work on the Fort Hall high
way; house bill No. III, allowing
municipalities to sell electric power
outside corporate limits.
The Bull county division bill,
which passed the house and is now
In the senate. appears doomed to de-
feat. An attempt made to take the
measure from the table and place 1t
on final passage today was voted
down.

Childhood Memories.

 Written in memory of John Christian oy his granddaughter, inscribed to Ralph Edgerton Sedgwick, Falls Vii age, Connecticut. There's little spot in England Beside the deep blue sea, Where my heart is ever turning Ill fondest memory. Iris the land of ancient manors Where the " vines do climb, And hollyherries gIisten
 On the walls at Christmas time.
 Refrain: O. England! Merrie England! Land of my birth and pride, Where the Union Jack is floating, Long may it there abide! o, God protect that country
 The motherland so dear; Ne'er let between that land and this Be raised the foeman's spear. Where tall and stately elms. Dear Bexhill's grand old trees, Uplift their topmost branches Swayed by the gentle breeze, There is lane named Chantry, Where often 1 did walk, And with my school companions Have many a merry talk. k.-Cho. hear the cuckoo calling.
 hear the thrushes sing, l see the nodding poppies
 Like birds upon the wing. For in the waving cornfields, All decked in softest green, Thnse little scarlet fairies
 Were ever to be seen. While in the verdant meadows With hedgerows all around Buttercups and daisies
 And "doodle-grass" were found. Across those sloping meadows Were paths so often trod, With my beloved grandsire
 Who taught my soul of God.-Cho. And now agaIn ill fancy
 l hear his gentle voice As tenderly he bade me
 To make the good my choice, And to be always truthful
 In all that I should say, And early learn the lesson
 To walk in wisdom way.-Cho. Think you these precious precepts Conld e'er from me depart? Too deeply were they graven On the tablets of my heart. They kept my feet from straying, My soul from sad remorse, And ever held before me A straight and upward course.-Cho In the happy days of childhood Ere sorrow held its sway, My heart was filled with gladness, All merry, blithe and gay; From early morn till evening I sang i'll joyous glee. There is no dearer spot on earth Than Bexhill l-on- the-sea. .-Cho.
