Two weeks ago the marriage notice
Of Lena Hoffman and Ernest Nelson
Of Falls city was published. They
were united by the Rev b. H. Lewis
of the Shoshone Methodist Episcopal
church on Washington's birthday.
Ten day after the wedding the bride
took her own life by dose of car
bolic acid. The distressing news was
received in Shoshone last Friday even
ing in message to the young brides
faher, John Hoffman. who was visiting
the home of John Cedarholm in Sho-
shone. The news came by telephone.
The CedarhoIms and Holtmans were
old time friends at HALEY where
Herbert Cedarholm and the young
woman were school mates.
1t was stated that the bride left her
parents home in the evening saying
she would go to the postofice. The
new home had not yet been established
for the young people. Instead of go
ing to the postodice. which was near
by, she proceeded on to Jerome where
she procured the poison. on her way
home she met in the road her husband
who had been over at a neighbors.
She rode swiftly on pony but the
two recognized each ether the wife
dismounting in front of her mothers
door and hurrying inside. The moth
er was Mortified at a scream from
the daughter as she staggered in.
"Oh mother" sac said, save me if
you can. for / have taken poison"
There was nothing that could be
done to stay the effects of the acid
and death ensued within an hour, the
young woman merely being able to
say again thar she had taken the drug
with the intention of ending her life
but that she did not want to die. The
husband. who had returned meanwhile
was given a note left for him by the
wife in the note. so it was said, were
Of affection for the hus-
band but he declined to make the con-
tents public. out in the road near the
house an empty four-ounce vial that
had contained the poison was recover

Nelson is hard working farmer.
He had been plowins all day Friday.
Those who know him speak well Of
him.
The funeral took place on sunday in
Jerome.
Mr.. Cedarholm said he had known

AUTO STAGE LINE
STARTS OFF WELL
WITH OPENING or sETTLED
WEATHER FINE TRAVEL is *
PEcTEO-GOOD ROADS

The new automobile line running
daily between Shoshone, jerome and
Twin Falls. which WAS started on Mon
day last, has averaged a patroaa ge
amounting TO more than two passeng-
ers day. This is regarded as a
promising beginning. The Shoshone
end of the line is run by Manuel Silva.
while the Twin Falls end is managed
by Joe Reesef All the roads. according
tC Silva, are in prime condition. The
run between Shoshone and Jerome
takes only one hour. while two hours
are required for the trip to Twin
Falls from Jerome.
Largely increased travel is looked
for with the coming Of settled weather.
It is expected that during the summer
when the Pacific coast travel is at its
height many tourists win avail them
selves of the opportunity presented
by this auto line to stop over at Sho-
shone falls, which are a greater Won
der than Niagara.
This feature, which will be thor
oughly advertised, will help the hotels
of this town very considerably as well
as other local enterprises.

PURCHASING POWER OF FARM
CROPS is DWINDLlNG

WASHINGTON, p. g, March 10
The Federal Department of Agriculture
has just issued a statement showing the
purchasing power Of an acre Of farm
crops in 1918 compared with 1908.
While the price per acre of several
farm crops is shown to have increased
to some extent within the past five
years the gain in price has not kept
pace with that of some Of the neces-
stiles used by the farmer. The report
shows that the purchasing power Of
an acre of wheat in 1903 was SO pounds
of lard while it was only 81 pounds in
1913. In 1909 an acre of wheat would
buy 243 yards of calico while in 1913
the purchasing power was only rs
yards. Forty-nine hoes could be pur-
chased with the proceeds of an acre of
cotton in 1909 while five years later
the buying strength has decreased
three hoes. An acre of corn in 1909
would buy 70 pounds of coffee and only
5S pounds in 1918 Twenty seven pairs
of overalls could be bought with the
receipts from one acre Of cotton in
1909 while the purchasing power in
1918 dropped To p pairs. An acre of
wheat in 1909 would buy two more
pairs of brogan shoes than in 1913.

MAIN in CHARGE or sHOsHcNE
SCHOOLS.

Ernest J.. Weaver, as already an
nounced, has been retained for an
other year as superintendent Of the
Shoshone schools. He is now round
ing out his fourth year of servioe here.
When he took charge Of the local
schools there was only half the
present enrolment in the high school
and whereas before his advent here it
was the practice for eighth grade pupils
to abandon the high school course it
is now the rule in the school for them
to keep right on in their education in
to the high school. Thus his work has
told very greatly in improved school
attendance for the love of the work
instilled. once a pupil of the present
head of the schools a pupil through
all the course.
Mr.. Weaver is 81 years of age. He
is a graduate of the Wesleyan Univer-
sity and took special work also in
the University of Nebraska. He is
now president of the Idaho declama tory
association organized among the high
schools of the state of Idaho. In sports
as well he is leader and is regarded
as a roundabout man in all respects
in the educational work which he has
made his life study. Mrs. Weaver is
a great help in the social side of his
work, being active as a member of the
ladies' Study club of Shoshone and
with her husband identified with the
Methodist church They have two
children.
The teaching staff to serve with N[r.
Weaver was to be chosen at the last

General and other officials of the de-

dence, by cultivation by the dry farm

cure water for domestic purposes. Mr..
Smith represented thastathere are hun

homes could not be established be-
cause water can not be procured for
domestic purposes by sinking wells.
He contends that while the country is
threatened with a shortage in the
wheat supply and with flour at $500
a barrel. that it is the duty Of Congress
to make the land laws more liberal in
order that those who are willing to
spend their money in the Improvement
of lands. could have an opportunity
of doing so and secure title without
and that if such law were
enacted employment would be given to
thousands Of people and result in the
production of hundreds Of thousands
Of bushels Of wheat on land which
otherwise would always remain idle.
