BACK FROM HARD TRIP
Sheriff Kendall and Deputy ThOmp-
son Trail Thief to Wells, New.

Some time ago stranger went to
one of the livery barns in this city
and hired saddle horse for a few
hours, several days passed but the
stranger and the horse failed to re-
turn. The matter was placed in the
hands Of the sheriff's Office for investi-
CATION. On Saturday morning Sher-
iff Frank Kendall and Deputy w. G..
Thompson started on the trail of the
stolen horse, which took them to the
Shoshore basin, down to the San ia
cinto ranch in Nevada and to several
other small towns in the mountains
of that state, the officers were on the
trail of the thief all of the time. They
finally arrived in Wells, where they
found the stolen horse, but the thief
had evidently got wind of the officers
coming and made his getaway. The
officers returned to Twin Falls early
Monday and stated it was one of the
hardest automobile trips they had ever
undertaken.

favorable districts and harvesting Is

Spring grain is ripening fast and crops
are generally in excellent condition in
irrigated sections. The fruit appears
to be in good shape and In many To-

additional reports had been received

Waiting on Gerard.
1t was understood that the all
important report awaited before the
United States determined whether
Germany has committed "a deliber-
ately unfriendly" act is expected
from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin.
Expect German Claim.
Cabled statements of American
survivors apparently have left no
doubt that the Arabic, with Americans
on board, was torpedoed without
warning. The question now is whether

the maneuvering Of the ship just be-
fore she was attacked led the suL,a-
rine commander to believe that she
was attempting hostile act against
him.
In addition to such information as
he has cabled, Ambassador Page is
said to have mailed long report, in

survivors

President Wilson remained at the
White House only long enough to eat
his meals. He showed desire to
get away from his usual surroundings
and to avoid talk on the Arabic. Dur
ing the morning he attended church
and heard the clergyman pray that
he be given divine guidance in the
present crisis.
The president will decile Monday

called for Tuesday, but Sunday night

net members would be summoned be-

Severance of diplofatic relations
with Germany is being generally dis
cussed as the step that would follow
determination that the sinking of the
Arabic was deliberately unfriendly to
the United States.
Whether such an action would ne
taken without first consulting con.
gress is matter of speculation.

One OF the most horrible accidents

Cured at the farm of John Tooth,
three miles southwest of Churchill,
Friday evening when five children lost
their lives in fire which destroyed
the house.
AS near as can be learned, Mr.. and

Gelena, four; and James, two; in the
bed together with the eight year old
daughter. of their neighbor, Julius Har-
rison and with Mrs. Harrison started
for Sunday school party at the town
of Churchill.
When only short distance from
home the party looked and saw the
fire but supposed it to be burning sage
brush and went on their way.
A little later Mr. Tooth became wor-
ried and returned home, only to find
the house in flames, with all the chill
dren inside and nothing could be done
to rescue them from the flames
The children were found in different
parts of the ruins, indicating to the
searchers that they had endeNyQred to
get out of the house. One 0f the lit

1t is not known for certain as to
how the fire started, but it is said that
there was range and an oil stove In
the kitchen. 1t is said, however, that
the oil stove had no oil in it. 1t was
supposed that the fire in the range was
out, but it is more than likely the fire
started from one of the stoves.

hay Will Be hay
Dry Weather Over Southern Part Ui
State Reduces Crop.


There is no question at this time but
what the hay crop in southern Idaho
will be short this year. In spite Ut the
fact that the second and third cut
tings were good on the Minidoka pro-
ject and that many farmers will get
fourth cutting, the hay Is not here.
Even many OF the farmers are figur-
ing on buying.
Both the Raft river and the Oakley
sections are short and will buy in
stead OF sell hay this winter. The fall
range oyer this whole section has
burnt up, and that means early pas
turing and early feeding. which re-
Quires more hay. There has been a
heavy increase in live stock, and a
decrease in the alfalfa acreage in all
the irrigated sections Of the state

KEEP FIT TO EMBER

Have you ever noticed, friend, that there are days when your memory is not as brisk as usual-days when you find it more or less difficult to recall facts which you ordinarily would re- collect without trouble?
 Have you further noticed that these days of lessened memory power usUally are coincident with feelings of fatigue depression and lessened vitality in gen. eral2
 This is a fact which is not always appreciated as it ought to be. Many people, especially if the memory weak ness becomes very perceptible, fall into a panic, thinking that they are des tined to lose not only their memory but their mind.
 Others, even when the deficiency oi memory power is slight, torture them selves with various kinds of mental exerciscsp hoping thereby to OverCa'me the occasional weakness of recollection.
 Whereas what they really should @ is to take certain hygienic precautions that will render them less liable to physical weakness and fatigue.
 The relationship between fatigue and memory deficiency is not one of coinci-
