The Separate Skirt is once more the
popular garment for nearly all occasions.
The extra fullness gives the designers a
chance to bring out some new models
that are surely very attractive. OF
course everyone enjoys a Skirt with the
fullness such as we are now displaying.
And, too, there are lots of good mate
rails from which to select-Taffeta and
Combinations continue to be popular;
Gabardines, Serges, Novelty Mixtures
and Stripes are very modish; Skirts with
pockets, very English-looking Mixtures
and tails. We will show the largest and
best line of Wash Skirts that we ever
displayed.

Lauds Miss Redfield.

The following article appeared
in the Journal of Education, ed
lited at Boston, by DR.. A. f. Win
ship, one of the most prominent
and foremost educators in the
United States:
Miss Berniee Mccoy, state sup
erintendent, positively declined to
be candidate for denomination.
She came into the office two years
ago with an unprecedented equip
mem in experience, having been
Miss Grace NJ. Shepard's deputy
during her entire administration
She has served with State Com
missioner f. A. Sisson with ut
most loyalty which meant much
in these formative years Of the
new educational system in the
state. Her decision not to be can
didate under any circumstances
was sincerely regretted, especially
by DIR. SissOn and the members
of the state board of education.
Miss Ethel r. Redfield, Of Lewis
ton, superintendent Of Nez Perez
County, is a candidate for the
as successor to Miss
Mccoy. Miss Redfield is one Of
the very able county superinten-
dents in one of the thigh speed"
Of Idaho, professionally. |
She is a native daughter, one Of
the few native sons or daughters
who have aspired to public office. |
She taught for twelve years in ru-
raj, grade and high schools, and |
was for two years superintendent |
IF the county which she now
serves. She stands for the best
phases Of progressive education.

For County Surveyor.

James Carlisle has served Lewis
county one term as county sur.
veyor and asks for reelection Ia
that office, believing that his
friends consider bis record justi-
fles such action. Besides render
ing the service required he has
saved the county considerable in
not requiring it to pay office rent
for him, as well as in other ways.
He is a pioneer Of this territory,
having been a resident Of Kamiah
since 1889. Your support will be
thankfully received.

That the increasing tendency
toward "suggestiveness" in the
manufacture of movie films gives
foundation for the argument of
those who oppose picture shows.
The generous display of shapely
limbs may attract the coin for a
while, but the scheme is also gem
Grating an adverse public senti-
ment that viii react against the
entire show business.
That life may be just one ding
ed thing after another, but il is
also still a game of chance: The
other day J. P. Darlington, a saw
mill hand at COsmOpolis, Wn.,
carved his name on a stick of tim
Der that was in a shipment for the
east. In due time he received a
message from relatives who had
lost track of him saying that his
grandfather had died in Balti-
more willing him an estate of
100000.
That here's the simplest cure

irritating toothaehe may be re-
lieved by pressure ON certain fin
gers, and the cure of lumbago, hay
fever, wry neck, and other all

same process, was outlined by DR..
Fred Kellogg of Providence, r. /,
before the Pittsburg OsteOpathic
DIR. Kellogg, in de-
seribing ''zonetherapy, used
stereoptieOn slides to illustrate his
claims for the treatment. Accord
ing to him, one has but to press a

mouth to effect cure for head

'ering with a troublesome case of
lay fever is to press the f0refin-

Mr.. Hughes does not believe in
rewarding the deserving ones"
after election There are exeep-
tions to all rules though. If we
are not mistaken, Mr.. Hughes was
appointed to the supreme bench
by Mr.. Taft. Again, if we are not
mistaken, Mr.. Hughes supported
Taft for president in 1908. But,
of course, Mr.. Taft never stopped
to consider the complexion of Mr..
Hughes politics and Mr.. Hughes
would never have accepted the po-
sition if politics had entered into
the appointment.

State Equalization Board.

For the first time in years the

Monday had before it at its open
ing meeting all abstracts showing
assessed values as reported by
county assessors and auditors.
Heretofore the board has been de-
layed in getting down to equali-

the counties to report in their abb
stracts. This year, however, the
board will be able to close in ON

The disposition of the dealers
in wet goods to presume upon the
frailties of human nature, to
have everyone bend their opinions
to far-fetehed arguments for the

drive thinking people to the dry
side than anything else. just

ed: fTotal abstinenc is a form Of

Human events are controlled
principally by suggestion. The
shrewder among us have long rec
Ognized this fact and have profit
ed greatly thereby. The cogni-
zance of the fact is becoming more
general as education spreads. Fill
a man s mind with evil thoughts
and what can you expect but evil
results7 Suggest good and you
have harmed no one. In times of
the greatest plenty, human nature
seems prone TO cloy itself-accu-
mulate a grouch-and then gener-
ate a fear that the prosperity can
not last and often, through this
fear and that alone, bring about
adverse conditions. Our nation
is now experiencing the greatest
prosperity in its history. Various
reasons are given for the condi-
ton; some are plausible and 9TH
ers are not. Be the cause what it
may, one fact stands out clear,
and that is the continuation Of
this prosperous era cannot be
maintained if every one gets it in
his mind that the thing is soon |
to blow over and be succeeded by |
unheard of depression. Those who |
are spreading this "scars" know
what suggestion will do, but they
either don't realize that they |
must share the resultant damage

PASS IT UP TO WILSON.

When wars grim speeter spread its wings
Across our way and started things,
The nation held its breath in awe,
Quite unprepared for what it saw,
And-passed it up to Wilson.
Then Mexico threw her bloOd-stained hand
Across the line to blight our land,
And elamor rose for quick redress,
This Shiny thing to backward press,
And-passed it up to Wilson.
The wars without were scarce held back
And the old ship trimmed to her even tack
When a tieup threatened, nationwide,
Wherefrom all failed to stem the tide
Till-they passed it up to Wilson.

MALADY MAKING INROAD
ON CATTLE EAST OF CITY

Three cows, belonging to J.
C. Byrd, residing in the Farming
ton neighborhood, four miles east
of Corinth, have died within the
past few days, and several others
are affected by bronchial trou
BILE.
The case was first diagnosed as
bronchial pneumonia. The three
COWS dying lived only twelve
to forty-eight hours after the de-
velopment of the trouble.
Mr.. Byrd has some eight or
ten head Of cattle, all of
which have been exposed to the
disease, which apparently seems
to be contagious.
This is a severe loss, and it is
probable that it will be necessary
to call the attention to the State
Veterinarian department, and
quarantine effected.

It Is Well.

America is being rediscovered.
Because the great war in Europe
has stopped the regular pilgrim
age to foreign parts, and because
of the California expositions, and
lastly but not leastly, because re-
turning prosperity is providing
many with travel money, more
people are crossing the continent
today than ever before in the his

roads report largely increased
travel and there is a never lending

seeing America for the first time.
