are making a wonderful change in
the prospects for the ranchers and
stockmen in this section and where
they were blue bunch couple OF
weeks ago, today they are happy and
each and everyone of them have the
smile that won't come off.
In the early spring everything was
favorable with prospects for a good
crop and an early season never
brighter with the farmers, while the
dockmasters had everything in their
favor they could possibly desire. The
winter was so easy that they had feed
left In the spring and the weather
held good clear through the lambing

about 160 per cent of lambs was har-

Listening to other peoples conver-
sation on a party line telephone may
soon be a thing of the past, remarks
an exchange, as Freeport, ILL.,, gen.
ius has invented a little device that
prevents one from hearing what is
said except the person to whom the
talk is directed The new invention
is a small contrivance which fits neat
ly in the receiver of the phone, and
opens when the particular ring OF
that phone occurs. At other times
the device is closed and 1t is impos-
sible to hear one word of conversa-
ton. Each of the little devices has
an attachment which can be set to
any number or amount of rings which
is desired. The device is set to the
same number as that of the phone
which is placed in the house, and
positively refuses to open until that
ring is made on that phone. When
the receiver is hung upon the hook,
after a conversation, the little ma
chine inside closes again. The de-
vice will never attain popularity
among telephone subscribers.

Mrs. v. v. Bower entertained the

ternoon with luncheon at 1880 and

white n the place cards, flowers and
tallies
During the luncheon the hostess
was surprised by gift of sterling
silver spoon, presented by Mrs. Cros-
by, from the club, as a token OF their
friendship and a souvenir to recall
old associations. A clever verse ac-
compAnied the gift, In which there
was enough humor to balance the
sentiment concealed.
At the close of the games flowers
were given to Mrs. Kays and Mrs.
Essley for having made high score.
The club members present were

mouth appeared before the state live
stock and sanitary board yesterday to
ask for assistance in exterminating
rabies among coyotes. He had a
half dozen horses and cows bitten by
mad coyote which invaded his barn
Friday. The coyote was killed and
brought to the city for examination
by the state bacteriologist, who cut
his finger while making the exami-
nation, but immediate treatment pre-

With the taking over of the secur-
tiles formerly held by the land de-
partment, the state rreasurer's de-
partment Is said to be seriously con-
sidering the enlargement of its de-
partment and the employment of adj
ditional clerical assistance to handle
the work. Last fall when Former
State Treasurer E. H. Dewey handled
the affairs of this department he rec
commended cut in its appropriation
of $4,000. The legislature failed to
follow the recommendation.
The attorney general may soon be
called upon to decide conflict claim
ed to exist in the stringent local op-
tion law passed by the last legislat-
ure and which went into effect May
8 In this state. The conflict is said
to be in connection with the having
or keeping of liquor in ones posses
sion. One provision Of the law is

possess 1t and another law says it is
not unlawful to keep liquor on his
premises for his own use.
The farm markets bureau which
came into existence In this state May
8 is rapidly getting on working bas-
is and already a number of requests
have been received by Director Stoltz
from owners of ranches wishing to
list their property for sale with the
state, while on the other hand in
quiries have come from prospective
purchasers in outside states, many of
them In the east, asking for informa-
ton on property that can be purchas-
ed in Idaho. Director Schlotz is hav-
ing his contract forms as provided by
law drawn up and when approved by
the attorney general they will be
printed and ready for distribution. 1t
will then be possible for applicants to
take direct advantage of the new
farm bureau law, have their property
listed for sale with the state. The
law requires payment to the state of
fee of 81 per year for each piece of
property listed and if the bureau is
responsible for bringing buyer and
settler together in concentrating
deal then the state receives per
cent of purchase price as commission.

Soldiers Cinema Instruction.

Twelve months before the outbreak
Of the war the Germans taught new
recruits in nearly every garrison town
such minor military activities as
mounting guard, setting up tents,
bayonet drill, and doing sentinel duty
by means of specially-prepared mo-
ton picture films. They have used
motion pictures also to illustrate 9TH
er military activities, such as building
bridges, destroying railways, throwing
up earthworks, erecting barricades for
street fighting, springing mines, and
laying pontoons. To popularize the
army the German government made
special films of the great military ma
neuvers of 1913. and motionpicture
houses In all parts of the country ex-
hibited the pictures without charge.

KNOW THY COUNTRY

"Know America" Is a slogan thai

fruit In America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt

for her astronomy and Rome for her
