Policeman Causes Embarrassment
When Calling for Permit.

The next time certain young
South Orange bicycle policeman
comes across a party of womep who
are involved in an automobile crash
he will not be so insistent about the
production of drivers licenses.
A machine driven by Mrs. Max Ger
ties, of Summit, N. j., in which were
her daughter, Helen, 2 years old, and
two young women, came into col
lision with touring car containing
Mr.. and Mrs. William T. Bethea, of
Tampa, Fla, and several friends.
Mrs. Gerties's daughter was hurled
from the car, but was picked up only
slightly hurt, although badly fright
ened. The fender and radiator of the
other car were damaged.
The two parties were taking stock
of their injuries when the policeman
arrived and demanded tc see Mrs.
Gerties's license to drive an auton1o-
bile. She replied to his demands
evasiyely. The more insistent he be-
came the more confused Mrs. Gerties
became. Finally he was requested to
retire to a distance for "just a mo-
ment.'' Within a minute Mrs. Ger
ties. blushing, but triumphant, pro-
duced the license.

The Wrist Watch.

Why should "a man ebe accused Of
ltsissiness' because he wears wrist
watch? Some Eastern pundits are
making vastly merry over their dis
covery that army officers are some
what addicted to this practice. Now
the wrist would seem to be exactly
the place where a soldier should wear
his watch, or indeed any other man
who is likely to. find tnat both hands
are strenuously and simultaneously
occupied. The idiot scribes who are
raising their feeble cackle over this
matter might find something better
with which to occupy their alleged
minds than the wearing of watch in
the most sensible of all places.-Ar-

MAKING OF CLOTHES PINS.
~. 80, s7e.
Humble Article Valuable By-product
of Hardwood Mills.

s.. The manufacture of the humble
clothespin is considerable industry
q in the mountains of Pennsylvania,
where hardwood is still being cut in
large Quantities. In the hardwood
mills in central Pennsylvania the
clothespin forms a valuable by-pro-
duct the waste from maple and ash
lumber being used to manufacture
the little implement of domesticity.
Large quantities Of American clothes
pins have been shipped yearly to Ger
\ many, Australia and other foreign
countries. Manufacturers state that,
due to the war, the greater portion
of their foreign trade has been dis
continued. The trade slump has been
felt in the Pennsylvania mountains,
where the clothespin makers are not
working as steadily as usual.
s Native Pennsylyanians are employ
ed exclusively in the clothespin in
{ dustry, and. they earn fairly good
wages, most of the operatives work
ing by the piece.
1T takes dozen or more rapid op-
erations to turn a piece Of hard wood
into a clothespin, which is ready to
be shipped from the mountains to the
New York broker, who distributes the
smooth pin throughout the world.
Strips from boards are conveyed from
the hardwood mill to the pin mill,
where the strips are cut into small
( cubes. The cubes are soaked or
steamed in the upper room of the
mill and then, thrown into chutes
j leading to the turning machines.
Girls run the turning machines, which
eat up thousands of the little blocks
hourly
The girls must be nimble of finger,
for it is necessary to keep the feeding
canal tight with blocks in order to
prevent the pieces of wood from fly
ing about. The machinery in a
clothespin mill vibrates tremendous
ly, the noise in the mill being deaf
ening.
From the turning machines the lit
z tie blocks go to the slotting ma
chimes, which are also run by girls;
occasionally boys are put on them
when girls are not to be had. These
machines are as noisy, but not as
dusty, as the turning machines. No
dust absorbers are found in the
clothespin mills and the gears OF the
machines are. not protected. AS the
blocks are wet when they are put
through the machines the sawdust
does not fly, the dust in the mills
arising from accumulated sawdus1
which has dried out.
From the slotting machines the
pins 20 into driers When they are
thoroughly dried the little sticks are
conveyed to polishing drums ane
rapidly revolved in soapstone, which
gives them their marketable smooth
ness. From the polishing drums they
are taken to a washer, where tht
soapstone is cleaned off, and the!
then go again to a drier. From thu
drier they are conveyed to the pack

JOHN COTTON SELLS FARM

John Cotton has sold his farm be-
low town but does not give possess
sion until after the beet harvest. Mr..
Cotton had 100 acres and is a good
farmer. He had Is acres of very
choice sugar beets, and 1t was prob
ably the beets that sold the place.
A Montana man was here visiting and
happened to drive out that way and
took notion to it. After he started
on his way home he got to thinking
Of it again and finally got off the
train and came back and bought 1t.
The sale was made through Mr..
M. Boyle, the land man, and while
they were at Mr.. Cotton's house he
got to looking at the old log barn,
and recognized the old Joe Warren
stage station where he used to pay
tolls over the Blackfoot for his
freight teams when he freighted into
this valley from Cor.nne, Utah, be-
fore the Utah & Northern was built.
Mr.. Boyle stood around and smiled
with the old barn like man meet
ing an old crony at picnic.

ASYLUM BOARD MEETS

The asylum board holds its regu-
lar quarterly meeting next Monday,
and very satisfactory state of af-
| fairs will be found in some respects
| If not all The farm and livestock
were in very unsatisfactory and de-
lpleted condition when they took the
management last March, and with an
entire change of the working force
and with new management it will be
very gratifying to find record break
ing crops throughout. The threshing
has been done, and 800 bushels of
wheat were raised, of which some
thing over 1000 bushels were de-
posted in the Backfoot mill for the
years bread supply. They threshed
| 400 bushels of oats and 400 of
/ barley, and the orchard has yielded
phenominal crop. They have dried
more apples than ever before, and
are still drying them. They have
sold a large quantity and are still
selling and storing them for winter
use. The vegetable field is a rare
treat to see. Anybody can plant
garden seeds, but it takes proper
management to have them grow, to
get a good stand and to have the
crop develop so it makes a successful
crop both as to quantity and quality.
The ground is full of carrots in the
carrot patch; it is full of beeta in
the beet patch; it is full of onions in
the onion beds; you are surprised at
the number and size of the parsnips,
and in the mangle wurtzel field, the
ground is full and they stand up in
the air like small piling The har-
vest will be satisfying to the board,
and especially SO in view of the fact
that on the first of the present year
they were confronted with bills
amounting to some thounsand of dol
lars for breadstuffs and fruit pur-
chased, and one of the first and most
pressing needs of the institution
when they took charge was apples
and fresh vegetables. A man was
sent into the country the same day,
to buy up and rush the delivery of
apples, cabbage, etc. The biennial
report showed that the orchard SEEM
ed to have outlived its usefulness and
the retiring superintendent recon-
mended that it be cut down. It was
whispered around the place that all
it needed was irrigation, and that
kind of treatment was applied in sea-
son with the results above stated.
The stock had been sold off pretty
close because there was not sufficient
feed to sustain them, and there was
a dearth of milk because the cows
did not supply enough. Fuller ra-
tions were given the cows, and to-
gether with careful housing and
watering, and the milk supply
doubled from the same cows within
a month. Changes were made in the
working force so as to eliminate $400
a month of operating expense.
DR.. D'Orr Poynter is the medical
superintendent; Lewis Killian ant T.

and George H. Fisher, of Bancroft;
S. L. Reece, of Blackfoot; and l.. e.

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

Sheriff Simmons has not yet re-
turned from California. Charlie
Thompson has just got back from a
secret mission.
The auto truck that was captured
some three weeks ago loaded with
$1,000 worth of booze for Pocatello,
has been repainted and has made
three successful voyages" since that,
with the same men in charge. Last
Monday as they were coming in from
the fourth trip from Arco they got
stuck in the mud between Moreland
and Blackfoot, and Mr.. Hale pulled
them out. Suspecting something, he
telephoned the sheriff's office about
the outfit, and the truck was pursued
into Bannock county below Ft. Hall,
and captured. They were turned over
to the sheriff of that county.
On Monday afternoon some men
were arrested at Firth. Four of them,
Robert Bramble, G. c. Cridder, B.
F. Rock and E. C. Lauer, were charg-
ed with bootlegging in some form and
were bound over. L. L. HURT and
John Drew were charged with main
tanning a nuisance in that they own
ed the property where some liquor
had been sold or used. Both men
were discharged because it could not
be shown that they knew about it.
Fifty-one pints of whisky were found
in some weeds back of Hurts place,
there was no proof that he had put
lit there or that he knew of it's being
there. Both men were served with
notice to protect themselves against
further possession of it in a similar
way.
/. J. L. Dodge was arrested Wednes-
day charged with misdemeanor in
not turning out to share the road
with passing auto. Deputy Sheriff
Henry Damn was on his way to serve
some papers above Shelley when they
overlook Dodge with his wagon. He
signaled for passing room, and Dodge
kept the middle of the road. There
was plenty of room to pass, only II
was on both sides Of the wagon. The
car continued to honk for gangway
and finally took the slope and got by
but turned in as close to the horses
heads as possible and they took fright
and reared but no damage was done
AS the county car returned through
Shelley they were stopped by the
constable and Dodge who proposed tc
arrest the driver for soaring Dodge'i
team. Dodge is said to have showed
temper and been abusive, and Sherif
Damn arrested him for refusing tC
give half the road. Dodge Is said tt
have become violent In. his expires
sions and they clapped the handouts
on him, put him in the car and pro
Fceeded to the county jail. The Law
made 1t misdemeanor for him tt
neglect to pull to the right and giv'
half Of the road when signaled BY
the car. There are so many of thes'
cases, the authorities have decided
to enforce the law and stop the an
noyance.
