knew of it, but the Hired Man has
been informed on good authority that
such is the case. Besides. who is there
left to Joke him about it? Is there. a
man with a soul SO dead who means
to tell us that he joined church with
out the element of courtship entering
in? Of course there are some, | pre-
sumo, who are in the clear when 1t
comes to this, but they are few. If the
reader will receive the following truth
without making joke of it, allow me
to state here, that he who will agree
with the mother in baptism and with
the father in politics, can run most any
other fellow a hot race for the girl
and nothing but filthy lucre or the
equivalent will ever beat him, but its
thoughtless on his part, when years
later he is contending for his denomi-
nation and no other, for him to forget
that the other girl he was going to see
would have changed the geography OF
his church membership and put him in
the denomination he is now fighting.

from now when folks are eating other
and better things. What will they be
telling about what we ate these days +?
The ice cream cone will be no more.
What will have taken its place? The
soda fountain gone forever. The
biscuit persisted from the face of the
earth. "There's reason" breakfast
food outawed by common consent
Wigwam flour, quoth the raven, never
more and its present manufacturers
spending their days on the sunny
slopes Of the western sunset, aged and
happy. The sardine factory forgotten
and the kippered salmon gone where
the woodbine twineth. The grocery
store thing of the past. The bank
useless for all business will be done by
sort of nickle in the slot apparatus.
Yet we will have plenty of men telling
about those good old days in which
we now live, and how their mothers
made life so pleasant for them then.
Wonder how it would do to tell these
old mothers right now, about how they
fill our hearts and kindle our yoys?

1t would interest us settlers to know
for what purpose Mr.. Newport has
drawn warrants and received same,
and how the money was spent. 1t
would also be of interest to know for
just what purpose Mr.. Christensen
received his warrants; and it would be
of interest to know the same thing
about the Hawkes. warrants.
There was paid out the sum Of
$3705.89 for attorneys fees. We would
like to know for what purpose that
amount of money has been spent.
There has, SO far as we know, been
no suits that would require such an
outlay. Nor has the district been in
any such shane as to require legal
opinions costing such an amount OF
money. 1t has simply been a waste.
Mr.. Hedden has drawn warrants for
S., 3oo80. 1t would be of interest to
know for what purpose he received this
amount. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Hedden was chief engineer; but it
is shown by the report that all field
work was paid out in warrants, be-
sides what he has drawn.
We would also like to know what
has become of the money the State of
Idaho paid in on its assessments and
how that was spent The same of the
money received # the Commercial
club and other places.
1t will be seen that there is a deficit
of $2,03l.18, up to Jan. l, 1916. and
this not including any warrants drawn
from ian. to May |, 1916, will bring
the deficit up close of 100000.
think it is about time that we set
tiers get 10 know a little more about
this and that we get an accounting of
every cent spent by our directors and
let them show us where we have been
benefited

More Information Wanted.
Caldwell, Idaho. May 8, 1916.

Caldwell, ldano. May Z, 1910.
Editor Caldwell Tribune-There is
today and, since the report has been
issued of the Black Canyon Irrigation
project, showing the financial condi-
ton, quite few settlers who like my
self would like to know for what pur-
pose all that amount of money has
been spent, and which the report does
not show. 1t has taken Our directors
six long years to get this report out,
and l think very few of the settlers
understand the report now that it is
out. The law, believe, requires that
this report be issued once every year.
In going over the list of warrants
issued and checking them up as far as
possible, it will no doubt be of little
interest to the settlers and land hold
ers who have paid all of this money,
to see how it figures up.
1t will be seen that our directors, at
torneys and engineers have received
the sum of $14,0o3.74, about as follows:

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid
troubles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse the
blood sufficiently, and the poisons are
carried to all parts of the body. There
follow depression, aches and pains,
heaviness, drowsiness, irritability,
headaches, chilliness and rheumatism.
In some people there are sharp pains
in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes OBJ
stinate dropsy. The uric acid some
times forms into gravel or kidney
stones. When the uric acid affects
the muscles and joints, it causes lum-
bago, rheumatism, govt or sciatica
This is the time to try "Anuric."
During digestion uric acid is OBJ
sorbed into the system from meat
eaten, and even from some vegetables.
The poor kidneys get tired and back
ache begins. This is good time to
take "Anuric," the new discovery of

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system Is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.

YALE lNELlGIBLES
MAY BE RESTORED
WITHIN FEW DAYS

New Haven, Jan 28-Before the
close of the present week another
Yale-Harvard-Prin athletic elig-
Utility conference will be held, accord
ing to rumors current here last night.
An attempt will be made to draft into
a definite code the new set of rules
governing the eligibility of athletes of
these three institutions
Keen general interest is felt in the
new code, because it will put athletics
at the three universities on a. basis
of frner mutual understanding Also
it will prevent, to a greater degree
than ever before, disputes over eIigi-
bility matters.
The application of the code to the
five cases Of Yale baseball players, is
the main topic at Yale. The players
are Captain Arthur MiIburn, Pitches
Spencer Pumpe1lys Shortstop Harry
LeGore, and Outfelder Bob Rhett and
Billy Easton of the Eli nine. They
were found guilty of accepting board
for two weeks while on the Quogue,
l.. l., nine last summer
The Yale Eligibility Committee re-
garded the present rule as applying
TO the cases of the five, and declared
them with drawn from college sports.

most valuable halfbacks the past sea-

How Umpire Dineen
Rebuked Recruit Who
Had Too Much Talk

Billy Evans, American league UNI
pre- is always coming to the front
with stories in support Of his much
abused brethren. He presents the fol-
lowing for Bill pineen:
Bill Dineen in his day was one of
the games greatest pitchers. When
Bill was a star he tried only to pitch
he never made any effort to tell the
umpires how they could improve their
work, and incidentally miss less
strikes. For that reason unpires al
ways liked to work behind Dtneen,
for they knew their work would not
be open for criticism, because OF con-
slant pickering over rulings on balls
and strikes. Now that Dineen is an
umpire he can see no reason why a
pitcher should be constantly dtsput-
ing either by word or action, for it is
a wen known fact that a pitcher by
his manner can make things trouble
some for an umpire, even though the
official is working perfectly.
Last year a recruit broke into the
American league and met with better
than the average result. 1t rather
inflated his opinion of himself His
fellow players admitted the fact, and
regretted it, for he gave promise Of
developing into high-class pitcher.
Dineen changed the young man con-
sidera,bly for the better.
The conversation was heard by only
a few but it soon spread and Dineen
lis being given credit for working a
great change in the young mans tenn
perment, which is sure to greatly i'm
prove his pitching. After the recruit
had several times let it be known that
he believed BilI's eyes needed atten-
ton Dtneen stopped the game, walked
half way down to the pitchers box
and expressed himself thusly:
Don't get it into your head you are
fooling anybody with that stuff of
yours. Why I had more speed and
better curve than you have shown
when I quit pitching. Good pitchers
win ball games with their arms and
head, not their mouth

STECHER PUTS
MARVEL DOWN
FOR TWO FALLS

New York, Jan. 2s-Joe Stecher, a
big, strong farmer boy from Dodge,
Neb., stripped 1.-THE Master Marvel
of all his mystery On a catch-as-catch-
can wrestling bout at Madison Square
Garden last night. The Masked
Marvel signs his name Mort Hender-
son, and he has been exciting much
interest in wrestling circles hereabouts
for sonei time. Stecher possessed
enough wrestling tricks to throw half
a dozen such marveIs
The match was for the best two out
of three falls. Stecher plasted the
MarvePs shoulders to the canvas first
in $3.50 and the second time he turn
ed the trick in $751; The Nebraskan's
famous scissors hold, in which he
grips his opponents body in his strong
legs, was the cause Of the Marvel's
downfall.
Twice Stecher got his hold on his
hooded opponent and then pinned
him down with a, double wrist hold.
Not once was the Marvel on the Of
fensive. His stubborn defense, which
has stood the test of so many bouts
at the Manhattan Opera. House show,
was easily swept aside by the Ianky
youth from the west.
Not since Frank Gotch showed here
has there been suC41 a wrestler as
Stecher on a New York mat. He is
much on the Gotch style and uses his
legs as much as he does his arms
The long, powerful Stecher legs were
entwined about the Marvel all tho
time. Every one of his arm holds
were enforced by a leg hold. He had
the Marvel worried from the start, and
worked so swiftly and necessarily
that the Marvel didn't have time 10
take a long breath.
Stecher always landed on top of
his opponent. Only once was he on
the mat himself, and then he wiggled
out of the MarveIs clutches in half a
minute. The scissors hold was some
thing fer which the Marvel had no
defense. When the Stecher legs were
wrapped about him he was held as If

taken a brace and after their fine
showing last Saturday their friends
expect to see them annex the New
Jersey championship by defeating
Dickinson High school tomorrow at
Colonial hall.
The local A. A won its fight for a
team that will keep the training rules
and profit by the advice of the coach.
The necessity for another man during
the last two weeks brought Cato for

will be a star. Joe Kelly, late center
for the ST. Augustine's and GoIdE
teams. has given up these teams to
play with B. H. S. in their time of

spirit should not be overlooked. Kelly
should make a very good man for
