The Jackrabbit Won

Jackrabbits have always been con-
sidered speedy. That's why folks say
of a foot racer che can run like a
rabbit. But did you ever try to COM
pute the speed of jack? Several
days ago Dick Haugan was on his
way to Emmett from Boise in his
racing car. A long-eared specimen of
the jackrabbit species leaped from
the side of the road directly in front
of the car. The rabbit set the pace.
Dick let 'er out few notches further.
Still the space between the fleeing
jack and the chugging automobile
was not diminished. The car gathered
more speed and the Indicator moved
to the 5-mile-an-hour point. The
rabbit whipped up also. And so the
race continued for more than quar-
ter of mile when the rabbit, probably
satisfied with his showing in the
sprint, dcdged into the sagebrush, and
let the car pass. Bre'r Rabbit has been
travelling at the rate of three-quarters
of mile a minute"

Plants That Mimic Stones.

In South Africa there is found a
plant of the genus Mesembryanthe-
mum, growing on stony ground. which
so closely resembles pebble that it is
Invariably taken by the stranger to be

produces two leaves about as large as
ducks eggs, having surface resem-
bling weathered stone of brownish
gray color. tinged with green. These
plants look like stones. but for a short
time they put forth bright yellow flow
ers. Still another species of the same
plant resembles the quartz pebbles
among which 1t grows.

A Poet ON a Ramnape.

The official poet of the Idaho City
World thus breaks out: ANDY Little
of Emmett a few days ago purchased
25. 900 sheep owned by Scott Anderson
of Boise. Mr.. Little now owns 5000
sheep, which makes him one of the
biggest flockmasters in Idaho. Though
Andy's name is Little and he may be
little Andy, to buy so many sheep he
surely had a heap of shekels that
were handy. He's rich in this worlds
woolly goods-in that respect is "out
of the woods"-so the name OF Andy
Little 'twould be folly to belittle. II
Andy now hath no more dough" he
hath sheep enough to ward off woe
the woe so many people know, who
such a snail like pace must go, be-
cause they have not "scads" no. sheep
from their doors the wolf to keep"

The Cost of War.

A cable from Berlin states that
subscriptions to the latest German
war loan amount to about 5000 mill
lion dollars. Two previous loans ag-
gregating 1880 million have been
made, so that the German Empire
has added 6 billion dollars to it's
debt on account of the war. If Eng
land and France succeed in borrowing
500 million in this country to settle
trade balances their total war loans
will amount to about billion dollars.
Russia has borrowed 1900 million, It
ally 400 million, Austria 1855 million,
making an aggregate of 1874 billion
dollars of Indebtedness incurred by
these five governments to prosecute
the war. This is merely the tax laid
on future generations, for it means
requirements of 900 million dollars
annually for an indefinite period to
pay the interest on the debt. The cost
to the present generation in property
destroyed, industry and trade crippled,
lives lost and the infinite sorrow and
misery caused to millions of people
cannot be measured, but it is so vast
that the accumulated debt piled up to
burden future generations is insignif-
cant in comparison.

The above is the title Of a lecture
to be delivered by Emmett d. Nichols
of Boise, author of the "Second Dec
laration of Independence, at the
Methodist church in Emmett on Fri
day, October %, at 8 p. m. So well
pleased were the people of Boise with
this lecture that he has been asked
to repeat it there and will in the near
future. There is as much to be learn
ed in this lecture of the life and char
acter of Napoleon and the great les
son therein taught as one could get
in months of reading historical works;
and then the personality of the speak
err makes il fascinating and intensely
interesting from start to finish. Rev.

church at Boise, writes: "The lecture
of +. d. Nichols on Napoleon in a
New Light" should be heard by a
packed house. 1t is worthy of the
