parma BIG HOG
SHIPPING POINT
Indications Point to Higher
Prices During the Com
ing Year.
(Staff Correspondence

Parma. Jan. 27.-Parma continues to
be the premier hog shipping point in
southwestern Idaho. During the year
1916 there were shipped from here 121
carloads of hogs valued at about $685.
900 The year just ended brought to
close an era of low prices for hogs.
The new year is ushering in a period of
higher prices, with indications that
Idaho and eastern oregon farmers will
get as high as 10 cents for their swine
by next summer The farmers here are
in a position to reap a rich reward this
year as a result of high prices for
hogs. A large percentage of the Parma
agriculturists are from the great corn
and hog belt of Illinois. where the
farmers go on raising corn and hogs
every year, no matter what the prices
NAV be. as a result of which thousands
of farmers there have gained their
independence and are today living in
peaceful retirement. Corn and hogs
more than all else made possible so
many rich farmers in Illinois and Iowa
and other middle western states.
The Parma Illinois farmers are fol-
lowing the same plan as their kinsmen
in the central west. They are growing
more corn and more hogs every year,
with the added advantage of growing
alfalfa to perfection.

show here last November. The yellow
and white corn that won first, second
and third prizes, respectively, at the
show here were taken by Mr.. Baldridge
to the state seed show held at Caldwell
last week.
At the corn show i'm Parma last No
vember Mr. Baldridge did not restrict
the corn grown in the Big Bend dis
trict in Oregon from being entered for
the prizes. Big Bend. Ore, is about IL
miles southwest of Parma and is con-
sidered to be tributary to Parma's COM
mercial interests. The Big Bend farm
ers are great corn growers and they
never fail to carry off the honors
wherever they are permitted to enter
for the prizes. The yellow corn that
won first prize at the Parma show and
the white corn that won the first three
prizes at the Parma show, were grown
in the Big Bend district.
The corn grown in the Big Bend dis
trict and shown at the state seed show
at Caldwell last week was not per-
mitted to compete for the prizes be-
cause it was grown in oregon. Mr.
Baldridge stated he was advised by the
judge of the corn at Caldwell that the
best 10 ears of yellow corn at the
Caldwell show were grown in the Big
Bend district by Dan Holly, and that

Getting Into a Scrspe.

Many years ago the wild deer that
roamed through the forests of England
used to dig holes in the earth with
their forefeet. They paved it ont
sometimes TO the depth Of several
inches. sometimes a foot or more.
These holes were called "scrapes," and
travellers at dusk or night or those who
were careless about their footing often
tumbled into them. They were laugh
ed at for their heedlessness when they
came home covered with mud. and as
this frequently occurred after they had
been imbibing a bit they were said to
have got into a scrape- Some Cam
bridge students took up this express
sion, and thus 1t came to be applied TO
people who had got into difficulties OF
various sorts.

The First Bomb.

The bomb came into being during the
troublous times in France toward the
close of the eighteenth century. Its
inventor was French fanatic named
Chevalier, who had conceived such an
intense hatred of Napoleon that he de
termined to kill him.
Being employed at a government
small arms factory, he had gained some
knowledge of explosives, and with this
knowledge he managed to construct
bomb out of a barrel, which he filled
with mixture of powder, bullets, bro.
ken glass and white arsenic.
Chevaller's idea was for the bomb
to explode under Napoleon's carriage a.
1t passed through the streets of Paris.
A miscalculation, however, caused 1t tc
go off few seconds too soon.
Had Chevalier succeeded in his OBJ

DESTROYED LEPER COLONY.
Soldiers Fired, Killing 1o--council Assist
ance Asked in Preventing Recurrence.

Canton, China, July Correspond
ence of the Associated Press Julius
A. Kempf, a member of the American
Reformed Presbyterian church mission at
TAX Hing, on the West river in Shantung
province, has advised the American CON
sulate here of the complete extermi-
nation of a leper colony near tbs mission
by recent revolutionary soldiers, and
sought the assistance of the consul in
preventing a recurrence OF such barbar-
ity.
The leper- colony consisted OF thirteen
unfortunates who made their home on a
houseboat on the West river near a tenn
Pile in which the soldiers were quartered.
Without warning the soldiers fired upon
the houseboat, killing ten of the lepers.
Two members OF the colony jumped into
the river and started for the opposite
shore, but it is not known whether they
escaped death. One leper escaped into
the hills The soldiers then burned the
houseboat.
Mr. Kempf and his associates had been
assisting the leper colony for some time,
the sufferers with food and en-
deavorng to better their condition.
1t is not uncommon for leper colonies
to be exterminated in China either by
the militia or civilians who resent hav-
ing the unfortunates near them In many
cases the lepers provoke the attacks by
begging insistently and threatening to |
touch persons who refuse to give them !
