achievement of the Germans in the
great battle of three months.
West of the Meuse Hill 295, the
western summit of Dead Man Hill has
become a no mans land, like Hart

French abandoned it temporarily to
avoid useless loss, reoccupying it

The French made further gains with

The battle around Hill BOA was es-
pecially severe. In attacking French
positions on the west side of the hill

The principal fighting east of the

Thiaumont and Douaumont. The Ger

DANDfLION ROOTS
HAVE MARKET VALUE
Possibility That Boys Might Make
Good Profit Discussed by Drug
gists.

That there is a market for dande-
lion roots is the substance of a story
going the rounds of the press, in
which it is declared that the demand
for these roots for medicinal purposes
is so great that they bring from four
to six sents pound TIE dandelion is
used in making up of liver medicines,
and has become scarce and valuable
since the breaking out of the Euro
pean war.
Since 100000 pounds or more are
imported annually into the United
States it seems that many young
boy or girl ought to make fairly good
wages by collecting and preparing
dandelion roots for the drug trade.
The root is used incidentally in dis
eases of the liver and dyspepsia.
Digging up the root for control and
also for securing the maximum
amount of material for sale is best &C
complished by the use of a spud or
stout bladed knife. The plant grows
so low that the frequent cutting of
the lawn with the mower does not
seem to have as good effect as with
taller weeds. The plants must be des-
troyed. below the crown of the root in

necessary to go much deeped in order
to get most of the root, which is
thick tapering, and sometimes fully
twenty inches in length.
Another method of control is spray
ing with iron sulphate. The spraying
must be done on bright days and at
frequent intervals to be effective 1t

and according to experiments in Da-
kota and Rhode Island it has been
known to remove the pest entirely
from the lawns.
Except that it is nuisance in lawns
the dandelion is not bad weed, since
its leaves are eaten by most stock and
form the basis Of many a mess OF
greens for the home table. The leaves
are also frequently eaten in salads
early in the spring, both in Europe
and in this country.

FRENCH TAKE
IMPORTANT FORT
Germans Driven Out of DOuau-
mont at Point of BayOnetS
HAS BEEN IN GERMAN HANDS
FOR NEARLY THREE MONTHS.
Gains Made Inch By Inch on
Desperate BayOnet Fighting. Liquid
Gas Used.

-Recapture by the French af-
ter three months of the greater part
of Fort Douaumont, which was taken
by the Germans at the outset of their
Verdun drive, is received with great
citation by the press and public, the
more so on account of the effect ii
is expected to have on neutral opin-
ion. Gen. Nivelle, the French COM
mander at Verdun, took advantage OF
the fact that the Germans recently
have been concentrating their atten-
ton on Dead Mans Hill, on the other
side of the river and assembled a
large amount of artillery for the at
tack on the Douaumont sector.
The German resistance at some
points was stubborn. On the FrOide
Terre road and at Douaumont the
French had to force back the Ger
man infantry inch by inch at the
point of the bayonet.
AS soon as they recovered from
their surprise the Germans launched
a number of fierce counter attacks,
but all failed and by 10 p. m. prep
arations had been completed to deal
with the serious efforts the Germans
are expected to make to recapture the
lost positions
The French success is considered
by military critics here TO have shak-

tant point captured by the Germans

FIRST REHEARSAL OF
MOVIES IS HELD
Pleasure Producing Company Ex-
poets TO Give Exhibition in the
Near Future.

The first rehearsals of the Pleas
ure Producers was held in this city
Sunday afternoon and proved to be in
every way successful under the skill
full management of the adept stage
manager, William L. Rogers. In a
very short time the company will be
cutting all kinds of capers such as
draw crowds to the Movie city near
the "Town of Angels" in California
The heavy william will disappear amidst
the foam of the Great Shoshone falls
and the heroine will be rescued to
live happily ever afterwards, until the
next film The productions of this
company, when once established in re-
gular circuits throughout the country
will do more to advertise Twin Falls to
the world than anything else except
printers ink, could do, in the opinion
Of those who have made a study of the
immense value of motion pictures as
an advertising medium And the best
of it all is that in this case, it will
not go out as advertising of which in
all forms some suspicious people have
an unaccountable aversion, but as
something worth paying for and en-
ioying.
The managers expect to ask the
privilege of using certain lawns in the
city on certain occasions, with the
pledge that nothing will be molested
or in any way injured. A number have
already granted permission and the
beautiful homes of the city may soon
be seen in motion pictures in all the
states of the Union.

SAGEBRUSH ROAD
is LATEST IDEA

PATTERSON, Wash.-George N.
MacCulloch, of Coolidge, road supervi
sor, has invented a machine to shred
sagebrush for purposes Of road build
ing. The machine cuts the sagebrush
and spreads it over the road surface.
The result is a smooth road built at
small cost.
The machine consists of knives on
large wheel which revolves against
a railroad iron just near enough that
the knives do not touch. A hopper is
placed on top and the sagebrush is
forced by the knives against the rail-
road iron and cut into small shreds
which is hauled to put on the road.
Several highways on the Columbia
river have been surfaced with this
material recently.
Mr.. MacCulloch has applied for a
patent

BUY BOUNTY CLAIMS
AT THEIR OWN RISK
Hope of Compensation Rests In Ap-
preparation by Next Session of Leg
islature.

BOISE, Ida.-Those who purchase
claims against the predatory animal
fund Of this state, now exhausted, do
so at their own risk. The only hope
of compensation they have is that the
next legislature will reimburse them
through an appropriation. A warning
to this effect has been authorized by
the state livestock sanitary board.
The warning is signed by State Veter-
marian BOdle and is sufficient to give
notice to those interested that they
take claims at their own risk.
The predatory animal fund became
exhausted some time ago due to the
heavy drain made upon it by slayers
of predatory animals who have been
very active. Since then the state vet
Urinary department has been receiving
the claims and placing them on file.
Many have come in and it is now very
apparent that the only way the hunt
ers can be reimbursed is by legisla-
tive appropriation.
The state livestock sanitary board
was in session for two days this week
but aside from auditing bills did lit
tie else. The rabies and hog cholera
situation were discussed informally
but no action was taken. The board
realizes that hog cholera is under
much better control than it was a year
ago and that there is less of the dis
ease. With regard to the rabies mem
bers of the board felt that everything
possible was being done to extermin-
ate the coyote and stamp out the dis
ease
The following is the warning the
board authorized sent to the people OF

DEPUTY REPORTS THAT

whose ranch is south of Rogerson, was

was killed with a twenty-five rifle.
Two youngsters in the Big Creek dis
trict were attacked by a coyote, but
escaped to the school house The coy
ote was later heard from at the ranch
of Hugh Reed where it attacked a
dog.
A horse was killed on Mr.. Kelsey
place near the Salmon river after
having shown symptoms of rabies. The
horse was tied in the stable and at
tracted attention by gnashing at the
manger in frantic manner. 1t broke
loose and attacked two small lads in
the barn yard, who escaped to the
barn. The men on the place shot the
animal and reported that it was the
most ferocious they had ever seen.
Some sheep belonging to a man by
! the name Of Miller were attacked by q
coyote and several of them badly bit.

diverted by one of the dogs guarding

ITO whom it may concern:
"Notice is hereby given that all
available funds for the payment of
bounty claims for predatory animals
killed within the state of Idaho, have
been exhausted and there are suffici-
ent claims on file to use all moneys
coming into the predatory animal fund
up to Jan. 1, 1917.
"All hunters and trappers and per-
sons who have been purchasing claims
against said fund are hereby warned
that in filing further claims for pre-
datory animals killed will, in doing so,
have to take their chances with the

CANADA AGAIN
A PRIZE WINNER
Highest Premiums Awarded at
Many Exhibitions.

The Fall fair season is past and
retrospect of them shows that Western
Canada is stronger than ever In the
matter of exhibits, and has taken more
than her usual share of the prize
money. From Western Canada to
Texas is n long look, from Alberta
Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the
southwestern corner of Texas Is sew
eral days journey, but the enterprising
farmers from this new country to the
northwest were wide awake to the
possibilities that waited them at the
International Dry Farming Congress
held at Eel Paso, Texas, few weeks
ago, to bring to the attention of those
in that far-off corner what the land Of
Western Canada could do in the pro-
duction of grains and roots from Its
soil. And what did these farmers do?
The first thing was to carry Off the
first prize and sweepstakes for wheat.
That was n foregone conclusion, for 1t
has now become an established fact that
nowhere else in the world is there
market value of Western Canadian
wheat. The same may be said of oats,
Of barley and of rye. But when II came
to notice that Western Canada took
first prize for alfalfa, 1t was then that
more special attention was given to
the products from Western Canada. 1t
showed that in that country there lies
the opportunity for supplementing the
wonderful native grasses, so full of nu-
triton that with the tanned varieties,
among them being alfalfa, the cattle
with no other food were fattened and
fitted for the shambles. Western Can
ada's worth was proved as probably
the greatest mixed farming portion of
the continent. When the steers from
the Western Canadian prairies reach
the Chicago stockyards they bring
the top price and outweigh those from
other places where grass fattening Is
the process. But 1t was not only in
grains that Western Canada carried
off the highest honors ut the El Paso
exhibition. Potatoes, parsnips, beets,
carrots and rutabagas also took the
highest hOnors. In root production
this country is becoming favorably
known.
The question often arises as to mar
kets. There is always the highest
price awaiting the producer, and us
soon as the Hudson Bay Railway, now
about completed, reaches the Bay,
there will be an additional outlet for
the product of the farm. The Pacific
coast route, via the Panama canal, will
give another outlet of which full ad-
vantage may be taken. With virgin land
selling at from SIS to $50 per acre, and
Improved farms at reasonable prices
and on easy terms, there is no better
opportunity for the man with limited
means and desire to secure home
at the least cost in a country where
he can soon become wealthy, as thou
sands of others have done, than In
Western Canada. To the man with less
means and who is prepared to accept
farm of 16O acres free, the DOmin-
ion Government offers him his choice
In districts that have land of the high
est type, but at present being from ten
to twenty miles from n railway.
