Will Make Gold
Finish Picture Screen

Mr.. John Allen, maker of gold
finish curtains, arrived in this
city the first of the week and will
be employed here for some time
in making a screen for the man.
agement of the Princess.
This screen is an innovation
that makes the pictures stand
out clear and more distinct, at
the same time giving them a
softer tone. The countenances
of persons show up particularly
bright and lifelike, the skin tint
being more natural.
Mr.. Allen has put in these
screens all over the country and
he has recommendations for his
work that speak for themselves.
One of these curtains is expen-
sive, costing in the neighborhood
of $3.50.
Progressive local business firms
have secured advertising spaces
on the curtain and in this way
will keep before the public eye at
all times. The management of
the Princess is to be congratulate
ed in securing such a nice curtain
for that popular show house.

Won't Sell Horses for War

Fairbury, Neb. Dec. %. mo
horses for sale at any price for
war purposes is the declaration
of Jefferson county farmers who
were met here today by a buyer
from Kansas, who said he was
willing to pay top figures for ami
mails suited for cavalry and artil-
lery purposes in the European
war. The farmers admitted they
had some horses for sale, but
said they were too much attached
to the animals to have them sent
to far-off country, probably to
be killed on the battlefields.:

COLEMAN GOES
TO PENITENT|ARY
Former Deputy State Treasur-
er Pleads Guilty to Charge
of Misappropriating Funds
and Goes to Pen.

Boise, Dec. 26. Exchanging his
plea of not guilty to one of guilty,
Fred M. Coleman, former deputy
state treasurer, was sentenced to-
day to a term of from two and
one-half to ten years in the state
penitentiary at hard labor. He
Immediately commenced serving
his sentence. The charge was
embezzIement of 500, 900 from the
state treasury.
Since his trial had been set for
December %, few people had ex-
rected any developments before
that date, and there were but
few in the court room when, at
1:3O o'clock in the afternoon,
Coleman, with A. A. Fraser, his
counsel, put in an appearance.
Telling the defendant to stand,
the court asked him if he wished
t. change his plea to guilty.
eyes, SIR" was the answer.
Judge Davis then turned to
Deputy Prosecutor Barnes, who
represented the state, and asked
if the county attorneys Office
wished to make any recommen-
dations. Mr.. Barnes replied that
the county attorney was inclined
to take into consideration the
fact that Coleman had returned
to the state voluntarily and by
pleading guilty was saving the
state considerable expense of
prosecution.
He recommended, therefore,
that leniency be shown, but on
the other hand he did not believe
the sentence should be the abso-
lutte minimum provided by the
law. Mr.. Fraser spoke briefly
along the same line, also pointing
out that had he desired to escape,
Coleman might have taken a con-
siderable sum of state money and
gone to South America, thereby
causing the state no end of trou-
BILE in bringing him back for trial.
Judge Davis then imposed SEN
tence. He explained at length
the meaning and purpose of the
indeterminate sentence law,
which in the case of Coleman
provides term of from one to
ten years. 1t would have been
possible for Judge Davis to have
imposed the maximum term of
from five to ten years, which was
received by O. V. Allen, former
state treasurer.
After sentence had been pass
ed Coleman showed clearly by
his manner that load had been
lifted from his mind. There was
something almost cheerful in his
demeanor as he left the court
room. The entire proceedings
took but short time, and by
2:30 o'clock Coleman was an in
mate of the prison.
The second charge against
Coleman, that of. falsifying the
records of the state treasurer's
Office, was left on the calendar.
It is not generally believed he
will be tried for that offense.
Since Coleman has pleaded
guilty it is understood that he
will appear before the grand Jury
when it meets on January a and
give whatever information is
asked of him as to affairs in the
state house. Both Coleman and
Allen will probably be called on
to testify before the grand jury.

The Days STORY
OF The WAR
Condensed Reports of Latest
Events in Europe's War, as
Given Out by the Associated
Press.

AANhS DCSs 20. IlIlotIlldS
brought no rest to the embattled
European armies. It found the
Russians still fighting desperately
in the SHOWS of Poland against
the fierce attacks of the German
and Austrian allies. Przemysl
still in the grip of the invading
army; the French making spas
modic thrusts against the long
German lines of trenches in
n o h ern and northeastern
France, and the British and Bel
gians in almost hand-to-hand
warfare against the German
trenches inowestern Belgium.
In Flanders yesterday things
were generally quiet" says the
German bulletin. The French
report speaks of intermittent ar
tillery firing there. The French
claim several successes along the
center and eastern lines, while
the Germans declare they have
taken the second British trenches
in Belgium. Both sides assert
that they have repulsed attacks
at various points, which indicates
that the feeling g.process is under
way all along the line.
So close are the trenches of the
Germans and allies at many points
that almost the only weapons
used are hand grenades, since it
is impossible for the men to ex-
pose themselves even to a small
degree as would be necessary for
the use of their rifles.
There have been informal
truces between the British and
the Germans for burial of the
dead between the lines. Accord
ing to British eye witness, for
many weeks along the battle line
the dead have lain as they fell.
There are gruesome accounts of
bodies held erect by the barbed
wires and scouts crawling over
them at night.
A violent revolution has broken
out in Albania against Essad
Pasha, whom Turkey established
as ruler there when the Ottoman
government broke into the Euro
pean war. Essad Pasha's palace
at Tirana had been pillaged and
burned. Massacres are reported.
The Italian government has land
ed sailors from the warships at
the principal Albanian port of
Avlona to restore order and pro-
tect Europeans and the peaceful
inhabitants. Italian intervention
may embroil Italy with her recent
foe, Turkey, and holds possibili-
ties of far-reaching results.
German aviators made another
attempt to drop bombs on British
ports today. Like the attempt
against Dover, that of today,
which was directed against Sheer
ness, was unsuccessful. An areo-
plane crossed the channel, accord
ing to the Official report, and sail
ing high flew over Sheerness.
British air craft went in pursuit
and, says one dispatch, engaged
the enemy for a quarter of an
hour before thousands of spec
tators. The invaders disappeared
finally in the mist, having been
hit several times.

Farmers Should Attend
Agricultural College

HStICultuIdl NOIItSc
| 1t will pay the farmers of Clear
water county to attend the farm
ers' short course at the Univer-
sity of Idaho at Moscow this
winter. The agricultural college
is designed to be Of practical SER
vice and benefit to the farmer,
and these short courses for the
farmer are of immense value. 1t
will be money we'll spent and
time proftably invested if our
farmers will go and stay during
the full term.
There was a time when the
average farmer made fun of COL
lege farmers, but that day has
passed. The farmers have learn
ed better, and if there is any
doubt one has only to attend the
Lewiston Livestock show or any
other exhibition where the agri-
cultural colleges have exhibits of
livestock to see that it is folly to
imagine that these schools, in the
hands of specially trained ex-
perts. do not know what they are
doing, and are not better inform
ed about agricultural subjects
than the farmer who has made
no special preparation.
1t will be noted that the Uni
versity of Idaho always carries
off the honors when its cattle,
hogs, sheep and other products
go into the show ring. That is a
fair test of ability to produce.
One cannot produce a blue ribbon
steer or a prize hog by accident.
1t requires knowledge of more
things than the ability to dump
slop into a trough. 1t requires
knowledge of food values, knowl-
edge of breeds and practical ex-
perience. The college farmer
must actually farm, and must
actually breed and raise hogs and
cattle and all other stock, and
must actually grow all kinds of
feed and feed it under every pos
sible condition and record results.
That is why the college experts
know what they are doing, and
why they can teach the farmer
how to get better results.
The above from the Orofno
Republican applies equally well
to the farmers of Idaho county
and is worthy of their most care
full consideration. While this
particular section is noted for its
production of hogs, and more fat
hogs are shipped annually from
Cottonwood than from any other
producing station west of the
Rocky Mountains, this does not
necessarily mean that these same
hogs could carry off high honors
in the show ring. Idaho county
is paying its full share toward
supporting the State University
at Moscow and our farmers are
only getting back some dividends
on their investment when they
attend these farmers short
course schools of practical in
struction. No man lives long
enough to learn all about his pro-
fession, trade or occupation and
the one who realizes the most re-
turns from his life calling is he
who gladly acquires the knowl-
edge of those better informed
than himself.
Therefore, attend the farmers
short course, or, better yet, send
a couple of the boys or take them
along with you. 1t will be money
we'll spent.
