ARSON A REPREHEAsIBLE CRIME
Loss Of innocent Lives May Follow ir
Fire Bugs Wake.

Arson is crime, and the person
who commits it should be punished
Just the same as the horse thief and
the murderer. The man who fires j
building, either his own or his neign.
boris, does so without any guarantee
that he win not cause loss Of life
either in connection with the fire in
the building he aims to burn o. in IN
adjoining building. The crime OF ar
son is difficult one TO fasten on a
person. no matter how guilty he may
be, for the evidence must be largely
cfrcumstantial, because no one in his
right mind sets fire to property in the
presence Of witnesses. This fact pfoyes
a stumbling block in the way Of bring
ing incendiaries to justice. There is
a strong sentiment against the mur.
derer. the horse thief. and the viola
tor Of the prohibition laws; but the
''1re-bug" is looked upon as a myth
In many quarters and is regarded too
often as subterfuge manufactured
by the insurance company to keep
from having TO pay the insurance pol
icy. And the incendiary. Instead OF
getting his Just dues. gets sympathy
IN his battle with the company or
with the State authority who investi-
gates the fire.
The person who commits arson has
many advantages. He usually op-
crates in his own home or place OF
and can choose his own time
and place for setting the fire. He
can also prepare an abb In advance
and can prove that he was nowhere
near when the fire was discovered. |
II the fire is successful. from the point
Of view Of the property owner, the
evidence burns up and there is moth.
Ing left but suspicious circumstances.

The Story Beautiful. +"
a Chautauqua Mas
terpiece
This Classic Makes Appeal to the
Senses of Sight and Hearing.

] ''The Story Beautiful is a classic
! from the standpoint of art, oratory and
musical attachments, and yet, because
OF its strong appeal to all classes who
will hear and see it, this number on
the coming assembly deserves to be
called popular entertainment.
Because of its uniqueness 1t is diff
cult to give in few words an ade-
quate conception of it.
One of the most brilliant, powerful
and dramatic speakers, Father Patrick
]. MacCorry of St Mary's cathedral,
Wichita, Kan, has woven a thrilling
lecture about series of unusual views
Many of the paintings shown are by
the master painters of the world and
are hidden far from the eyes of the
curious. How Father MacCorry Sc
cured them is not part of this story,
but it may be said that there are few
who could secure permission to copy
them, and the coloring Of the slides is
wonderfully well done. They are as
beautiful as the originals and far above
any slides commonly shown.
While the pictures are being shown
Father MacCorry gives his lecture.
No orator has more musical tone or
more dramatic information, and while
he speaks single ray Of light reveals
his features against a black velvet
curtain, the speaker as well as the
picture being shown, which is an ex-
elusive feature with this lecturer. AT
times nothing can be heard but the
gentle music of the piano, and this
may be followed with the rich tones of
that great baritone, Fl. Ruthven Mac
Donald of Toronto, who presents Sc
lections from oratorios and other classic
music while the audience remains I'M
der the spell of this remarkable set
ting
Four people are required to present
this admirably combined lecture, re-
cital and showing of famous pictures,
and those who attend will leave with
the sensation that they have visited
some great cathedral, having been
satisfied in long cherish
ed desire.

Nels Darling Stands For
Welfare of Home
Town

Every man in this town who believes
in spending his money at home will
enjoy and indorse the things Nels
Darling will tell the people of this
community when he appears here the
third day of the assembly. And those
who do not spend their money at home
when they could do so are the ones
who should hear him. Many towns
owe their clean streets, their public
Improvements, improved trade condi-
tons. the good fellowship between the
business men and the farmers or their
good roads or their harmonious rela-
tons among their own merchants to a
talk they have received straight from
the shoulder by Nels Darling. He has
done more to save the small towns
from the destructive influence of the
mail order houses than any other one
man, and every community can afford
to hear him and take his advice.

ELIMINATE The
N0xIOUS WEEDS
A SOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM
PROVIDED BY THE LAW--ONLY
NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED.

The weed problem In Idaho is seri
Gus. 1t needs immediate attention
None of our worst weeds are ma
tive to Idaho. They were imported
with the agricultural seeds and com
mercial feeding stuffs. They are be
ing distributed each year in this
same way and by natural agencies as
wind and water. -
The Pure Seed Law of Idaho was
created as an Emergency Act to
check the importation and distribu-
ton of noxious weeds. 1t can never
accomplish this purpose alone. We
must get at the root of this evil as
well as the roots of the weeds and
exterminate the noxious weeds from
the fields, roadsides, banks of irri-
cation bitches and railroad property.
Do you realize the enormous loss
to the farmers in the United States
each year from weeds? 1t amounts
to several hundred million dollars.
Weeds are responsible for loss of
many dollars to every farmer who
tolerates them ON his farm.
Weeds crowd out economic plants.
They use up the moisture and plant
food that should go to increase
yield and economical crop product
Ion. They attract fungous diseases
as the grasshopper, Colorado potato
beetle and cutworms. Some of the
weeds are harmful to stock because
they have barbed seed or are poison
Gus.
IDAHO SEED EXCEPTIONAL.
Other States do not have soil
and climatic conditions that will per-
nit them to grow seed of such
high grade, excellent color, strong
vitality and superior excellence as
Idaho. Eastern wholesale buyers re-
cognize this quality, and they So
cure most of the purest and best
seed to ship East. Many Idaho
farmers, then, must buy a poorer
quality of seed from his neighbor
or ship in inferior seed from other
States. >
