cinee containing alcohol. Pure Food
Commissioner White gets inquiries
every day. His general reply is that
the food ind drug act requires The
Percentage OF alcohol in medicines to
be shown on the label.
The matter of determining ,heth
er or not such PREF arations carrying
alcohol are in violation OF the new
law, or whether or not they are 10 be
classed as beverages or medicinal
preparations, would, in my opinion,
lie entirely with the court" says Mr..
White. "The courts decision. | take
IL, must be based On the facts as 10
whether such preparations are "r are
not sufficiently medicated to render
beverage. / also suggest that lrus-
gists demand guarantee with these
preparations that tley carry sufficient
medical properties so as to make
them unfit for use as beverage
The attorney general is also The
recipient of many inquiries of the
same nature. In an opinion dated
December 80 he said in part:
The rule is that If compound ol
beverage be such that the distinctive
character and effect of the alcohol il
gone: that its use as an intoxicating
beverage is practically impossible b,
reason of the other ingredients, it i
not within our statute. On the othe
hand. If the alcohol remains as dis
tinctive force in the compound, an
such compound is reasonably liabl
to be used as an intoxicating oc' el
age. 1t comes within the prohihitor
provisions of the law.

Idaho Third in Wool Production.

Wool production in the uhi'eu
States during 1915 was estimated py
the department of agriculture at
.2sS.777.OOO pounds with a value OIL

than last year.
Production was 1.415.OOO pounds
less than last year and 7'S9s'ooo
nounds less than In 1913. The price
Of unwashed wool paid to producers
has averaged 23.4 cents per pound
compared with 1874 cents last yeai
and 1b.7 cents in 1913.
Montana led in production VIII

MORE HONORS FOR THIS
SECTION.
Several Prizes Captured at the Ma
tionaI Corn Show at st. Paul.

The fame of the Great North Sido
tract evidently knows no bounds. p
wherever any of it's products are ex-
hibited in competition with other like
products from all over the country, 1t
always follows that those from the
North Side are sure to be seen be-
decked with the blue ribbon. The
pleasing news now comes from st.
Paul, Mimi, that MI. Oliver Hill, of
Jerome, was awarded first prize on
his exhibit of corn at the First An
nual Corn Show which was held in
that city from December 1st to 3 lst.
The states entitled to entry in this
exhibition included Minnesoa, the Da-
kotas, Montana, Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. These in turn were di-'
vided into districts, this district
known as No. 3, comprising IS coun-
ties in this section of the state, the
prize awarded Mr.. Hill being credited
to this district. The species of corn
sent by Mr.. Hill was the White Dent
upon which he took first premium at
the recent Jerome Fair. Mr.. Hill has
given considerable attention to coin
raising since coming to the tract,
and while it has been generally
thought that nothing but the flint
corn could be successfully raised here
he has demonstrated that he can
grow a larger yield of the dent va
| "a n1xr IN ~ .afa cd
from the flint specie, and so conf
dent was he of the quality OF the
corn raised by him that he sent 10
ears to the National Corn Show with
the result as stated above.
But this is not all the glory thai
comes to Lincoln county from this
great National show. A son of Mr..
Hill, who is an active member OF the
Boys and Girls Clubs, during the
past year planted, worked and tend
ed one acre of corn of this same va
, riety, upon which he took second
prize at the Jerome Fair and third
prize in the county exhibit. He als1
, sent a sample of 10 ears to the Ma
I tlonal Corn Snow and was awarded
= second prize on the same the first
prize being won by the son of Paul
o Haddock OF Shoshone, so it well BE-
O seen that Lincoln county had the
honor of being awarded both first
o and second prizes in the boys de-
n partment.
Mr.. Hill receives a silver cup OF
= the value of $4,000 as his premium
while his son will be the recipient OF
. a bronze cup, both of which prize.

. cles themselves. Guess Southern
Idaho and the North Side tract is go
% ing some when it cops off first awards

Contrary to expectations, Mr. Bar
leycorn who has held sway in Jerome
for a little over two years, quietly
took his departure at midnight on
January 31st, never to show himself
in Jerome again, is the almost unani-
nous wish OF the entire community.
During the few days prior to the clos
ing date, loads of the wet goods were
shipped to other points outside of
the state, so that when the closing
hour came, the stock in both of the
saloons here was about depleted, and
those who hung around expecting
that there would be liquors to give
away were sadly disappointed, and
as the hour of midnight arrived, the
doors we're closed and Jerome again
became a dry town.
There was very little hilarity,
though a frequent last despairing yell
was sent forth by someone who saw
his last chance TO get a drink slipp-
ing by. We have not heard of any
one trying for the honor of buying
the last drink, and what, if any was
left, was deposited in the sewer as
the last stroke of the midnight hour
pealed forth
The buildings made vacant by the
retiring of the saloons will at once
be given over to other mercantile
pursuits. and so the landlords of
these buildings will lose nothing by
the change.
The local option election in Lin
coin county was carried by a small
majority. and the people have had
the experience of the saloon for the
past two years, but we venture the
assertion that if they were given Al
opportunity to express their opinion
S today, the result would be much diff
e ferent than it was two years ago
S But we are now dry, and 1t is Il
t be hoped that every law abiding citi
e zen will see to it that we are KEEP
+ dry. The bootlegger will now at
e tempt to Ply his vocation, and 1t ma
e be expected that the county will b
n put to heavy expense in prosecutin

Home from His Mission.

Henry Ford, who led the peace
expedition which left New York Dec.
on the steamship Oscar II for Cop
enhagen in the hope of bringing
about a conference between neutral
nations that would end the war ar
rived home Sunday on the steamship
Bergensfjord. He confirmed cable
reports that his return had been has
tened by illness, but said it made a
difference Of only few days, as he
intended when he left to come back
this month.
Mr.. Ford declared his views re-
garding the cause of the war have
undergone a marked change. When
he left, he said, he was of the opin-
/ lon that bankers, manufacturers OF
munitions and armament were re
sponsible, but he returns with the be
lief that 1t is the people themselves
those now being slaughtered, who are
responsible. The men doing thu
fighting have been too content to lie

ing, and they have not taken advant

Richfield Has a Burbank.

How many realize that we have in
our midst young man who is liable
to make the renowned wizard sit up
and take notice? Well, Clarence
Winters is not only an energetic and
practical farmer but he is also a
close observer and a student of ma
ture.
Three years ago Mr.. Winters dis
covered in his barley field stalk
which grew three heads of barley, all
we'll filled and developed. He watch
ed them carefully until they were
fully matured then gathered and
shelled them out, and in the follow
ing spring planted the grain from
these three heads and found that
about 60 per cent produced their like
in three-headed barley. He selected
the best of these and again planted it
in 1915 with the result that this year
over so per cent produced the three
headed variety with the result that he
now has about four pounds of the
grain.
Mr. Winters states that the three
heads grown on a stalk produce from
80 to 40 grains more than the aver
these heads be preserved and plant
ed. with view of developing a spe
Gle of clover that would produce two
or more heads, one one stem, thus

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR 1910.
Chamber Of Commerce OF the United
States Makes Public Report
Submitted To IL.
Prosperity Is upon Us.

A Washington dispatch of the first
OF the year contains a report from the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States which had been submitted to
it by the statistic and standard COM
mittee. in which is pictured bright
prospects for business throughout
the country, which is in striking con-
trast with conditions year ago at
this time. Among other things the
report says:
There are localities where much
caution and conservatism yet re-
main" says the report, and the In
fuence Of high prices for the future
further accentuates this caution be-
cause dealers feel that high prices
will curtal buying by the consumers.
Broadly speaking. it may be said that
the spirit of optimism and hopeful
ness prevails to degree that has not
been apparent for nearly a decade,
and the general belief and eXpecta-
tion is for such prosperity during
1916 as will recompense the people
of this country for all their past mis-
fortunes.
The adverse effect of the conflict
in Europe still prevails in some sec
tions. though to much less extent
than at this time last year. There
are still scattered fears of the posi-
bility of this country being involved
in the gigantic strife; but against this
is the fact that the large portion OF
the people are paying less and less
attention to the war and more and
more concentrating their thoughts
and efforts on domestic matters. Be-
vond this is the striking fact that the
influence of the war at present as
whole is more favorable than adverse
because of the tremendous impetus II
has given TO certain lines of manu-
featuring. especially east OF the ALE
ghenies. and likewise to many agri
cultural products.
This influence is a material facto
in the present high prices of sheep
cattle. wool, grain and products o
leather. steel, iron, copper, brass
lead and zinc or spelter. Much o
the prosperity in the grain raising
sections is due to the fact that tn
farmer is selling freely because of re
munerative figures for his product
and there seems to be no manner @
doubt but these prices will declin
materially in case of peace. Whil
there are many conjectures as to tn
CONSEQUENT effect on business of sue
a contingency, the general belief Ger
ters around the conviction that IL
war will last for some time and ths
the part of wisdom is to make I'll
most of the present situation, r.
gretable as II Is, and not taking III
due thought of the morrow by a
tempting to forecast the likelihood
what is to happen If peace is decla
ed.
, Railroads report better busine
