Will Vote ON COURT
HOUSE BONDS TUESDAY
Voters Should Bear in Mind the Day and Date
and Strike out Bonds No" on Their
Ticket. Now is the Time

Tuesday, August 10th 10 the date OF
the bond election. The amount has
been cut to $3.50 which is believed
to be as low as can be to erect any
kind of a building at all.
That Gilmore county needs a court
house is conceded by all, and the
question of the amount asked for at
the previous election was believed to
be the only objection.
Since the last election the state
health officers have condemned the
Jail and 1T is now nee essary to trans
fer our prisoners to the Ada County
Jail at Boise, where we have one
prisoner at present, cost of handling
same having already given lis little
food for thought. For example, it has
cost Efmore county $9.40 to take this
prisoner to Boise, and later an alb
cess developing in his ear necessi-
tated an operation. Sheriff Stevens
then found 1t necessary to bring the
prisoner to Mountain Home for opera
tion by the Elmore Cunty physician,
the trip costing the county $3.50, and
again return with him to Boise, en-
failing another expense of $9.40, be-
sides board and other expenses, all
of which is not profitable business
for Gilmore County.
II the bond issue Is turned down 1t
may be necessary for the county
commission to go ahead and build
court house and should they decide

to do so we will have TO pay for the
structure in one year which will
mean much greater burden ON the
taxpayers than if they should vote
bonds and pay for them i'm twenty
years.
The treasurer has been obliged to
vacate the offices occupied and has
moved into the court room for the
present until other suitable quarters
can be secured and sooner or later
all officers will of a necessity be
compelled to find other quarters, thus
adding to expense of county besides
entailing no small amount of incon-
venience and anyway as court
house for Elmore county Is a necessary
requirement why not have ii now
A necessary convenience; a county
land mark and one of the city s
beauty spots.
Automobiles will be provided on
that day and all those living In the
distance and those who are unable
to walk to the polls will be taken to
the polls and home again in autos.
Headquarters will be established at
the sheriff's office where voters can
telephone and make arrangements for
autos to call for them, and the ladies'
will confer special favor ON the
committee to be ready when the auto
calls so that unnecessary trips may
he avoided.

A request for the guard was pre-.
sented by the French minister at Port
au Prince and cabled to Washington
by Rear Admiral Caperton in com.
mand of the American expeditionary
forces.
The French minister had expressed
an urgent desire that his legation be
guarded by French sailors inasmuch
as the Descartes had arrived at Port
au Prince. The minister thought also
that the French guard would be able
to tighten the burden on Admiral Ca
perton's 400 men to some extent.
Upon receipt of Admiral Caperton's
cablegram, Secretary Daniels con.
ferred with Secretary of State Ian

special purpose of guarding the French
legation. No complications would
arise from such action in the secre
tary's opinion and Admiral Caperton
was instructed to afford the French
minister all facilities for landing the
French guard.

The story of "Uncle Bill" the
Broadway star feature comedy sue

caught pilfering the house, pretends he
is Uncle Bill. These two, and two
flirtatious couples. who get into rum
pus in fashionable restaurant and flee
in fear of notoriety, besides an aspi-
rant for the governorship, who is con-
niving to sell out to the interests, I"
are twisted back and forth into many
highly ridiculous situations. and there
are laughs for all sorts and conditions
in the developments. The presenting
cast is an excellent one, and includes

Frohman's Last Words.

The flight of years will not efface the
stain made upon a nations reputa-
ton by the slaughter of the innocents,
but it will end the agony of grief and
will leave only sad memories. Among
them will be some which men and wo-
men will cherish because of their asso-
citation with the disclosure of the bet
ter traits of humanity. Death is a
pitiless destroyer of shams. In the
presence of the last of terrors man
cannot be a poser; he must stand
forth revealed in his completest truth.
Naked came | into the world !;
naked go out of it, was spoken of
the body, but it may equally be said Of
the soul.
Some who persisted near Old Head
of Kinsel did brave and generous
deeds. One whose bodily weaknesses
made brave deeds impossible spoke
great words. We do not know what
Charles Frohman's faith was, but the
words which ne spoke to Rita Jolivet
might have fallen from the lips of
Epictetus OF Marcus Aurelius: Why
fear DEATH 1t is the most beautiful
adventure in life. Mr.. Frohman was
known as q reserved man. shy man;
but in the presence of death his spirit
refused to be masked, and in its hour

SMALLEST ELECTRIC MOTOR.
II Was Made BY College Student and is
About As Big As Grain Of Corn.

The smallest electric motor in the
world, just high enough to reach up
under the chin of the head of Lincoln
on a one-cent piece, has been built by
H. F. Keeler,a student in the High
land Park College of engineering at
Des Moines, Iowa.
The armature is less than a quarter
of an inch in diameter, and the wire is
of the size of fine thread. A jewelers.
microscope must be used to see the
different parts, and the whole thing
weighs only twenty grains, or as much
as third of teaspoonful of water.
When coupled with small dry batteries
it runs at very high velocity, and
maks noise like fly on window
pane.
