"GINGLES JINGLES"
CUT THE CON.

If you're loyal member of the old
Wind Jammer Clan, You better change
your tactics, cut the con and be a man.
You'll find that people as a rule are
hep to hot air stuff, It's up to you to
cut the con, They're jerry to your
bluff. The backwoods guy is most ex-
tinct and suckers bout as few, AS
healthy oysters hidden In hotel oys-
ter stew. The public now has come
across with filberts freighted strong,
On how to dope the proper line on
chatter that is wrong. Get wise at
once and cut the con, Be honest, true
and fair, And folks will soon begin to
know that you are ON the square. The
shedding will not be so hard, when peo-
pie know you're right. You'll gain
their confidence and help and stage a
winning fight there's nothing stands
SO solid, nothing pays so well today,
AS being on the level in the things
you do and say. For people know your
motives, You reflect the thoughts you
think, An il you're not four square
and right, they'll put you on the blink.
So get the hunch and cut the con, let
folks know where you're at, And
watch success come skidding through

HEAVY PENALTY
GIVEN ERICKSON
SIX MONTHS IN JAIL AND $500
FINE FOR KEEPING CHILDREN
OUT OF SCHOOL
Most Severe Sentence Ever Imposed
in Latah County for Offense of
This Character

| Probably one of the most severe
penalties ever imposed in Latah coun-
ty and perhaps in the state of Idaho
under similar charge was imposed
on e. Erickson, the Helmer farmer
by Probate Judge Morgareidge this
morning following a preliminary
hearing when Erickson was charged
by County Attorney Frank L Moore
with contributing to the delinquency
of his own children by refusing or neg
lecting to send them to school
Until he complies with the proba-
ton laws of the state and places his
children in the public school, Erick-
son must remain in Jail to the extent
of six months and to pay fine of 5000.
The Jail sentence imposed by Judge
Morgareidge was conditional If at
any time during his term of six
months that he places the children in
school, the court will suspend that
unserved portion of the sentence
The conviction of Erickson on this
charge is the elimination of several
years defiance of the probation offic
ers of the county by Erickson. FIRE.
quently in the past several years the
probation officers have ordered him
to send his children to school, but he
has paid no attention to the demands
When the matter was brOached to
County Attorney Moore it was decided
TO take the steps provided by law to
give Erickson's children an education.
It is understood that similar action
nay be taken against others in the
who are delinquent in a like
yiolation.

OILS AND FATS
AS CONTRABAND
ENGLISH SCIENTISTS ASSERT
GERMANY HAS HAD A FREE
HAND IN THESE SUBSTANCES
Demanding That Government Put Them
in Same Class as CottOn-PrObabIy
This Action be Taken

LONDON, Jan. 5-(By MaiD-Great
Britain is expected soon to put fats and
oils on the list of absolute contra
band, just as it did with cotton Sci
entists have been demanding that this
be done for some time, saying it is
the ignorance of government officials
concerning the use of fats and oils
In the manufacture of high explosives
which has left this raw material sup
ply open to Germany this long. Prof.
3. B. Poulton of Oxford calls it "the
national neglect of SCIENCE" saying in
part:
/ ut is dangerous that country
which depends on science for its ex-
istence and prosperity should be ruled
| by politicians and civil servants who,
with hardly an exception, are utterly
Ignorant of science. Lawyer polite
| lians, fixing their attention more
steadily on American friendship than
German defeat, have permitted the ex-
lpropulsive ammunition, fats and oils. -
Cotton is already on the absolute
contraband list, this action having
been taken after widespread cam
jpaign by scientists who claimed that
cotton exported to Germany was mere
ly so much ammunition for the Ger
imam army. Sir William Ramsay,
leader of the scientists campaign
against cotton, has began a campaign
against fats and oils which, he says,
are vital to German ammunition ma
king. Sir William declared today:
"One-third of German ammunition
for heavy guns consists of nitro-gly
cerine; and fats are the source of gly-
cerine. l really can't understand the
incredible folly of going on providing
the Germans with means of killing
our men. Untold thousands of lives
and an ever growing volume of hum
an misery are a terrible punishment
for the neglect of science. 1t is pos
sible that military experts are mistak-
en- in thinking the final decision in
this war can be reached by fighting.
1t may have to be reached by econ
omic and financial pressure
Englands official ignorance of sci
ence as applied to war has heightened
the struggle, Sir William declared |
IF the government had !
seriously considered this possibility |
at the outset and made preparations I
accordingly, asking for and accepting I
advice on the subject, the war long
would have been over" Many we'll
