Detectives Make Roundup.
Sheriff Froman, supported by the
trusty Mccullough, aided by a new
one, Deputy Whittet, and guided by
Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Bradley. made a
splendid haul at Payette some few
days ago. Eight men were gathered
into the drag-net, charged with sell
ing Intoxicating liquors in prohibi-
ton territory. The men placed I'm

Harding, Lon Farson, Thomas Boyer,
A. l.. Roberts, R. G. Morley, Willis

The complaining witness is Fl. E.
Bradley, who was formerly engaged
in the restaurant business in Pavette.
and who is said to have been slcuth-
ing for several months under the d.
rection, or at least with the knowl-
edge of Sheriff Froman, but was not
regularly deputized by that officer.
1t is said that Bradley has been en-
gagged in a systematic effort to secure
such evidence as would make it pos
slble Tor the state to secure convic-
tons under the prohibition law and
that he has had his wife cooperating
with him, so as to have her corrobor-
alive testimony in some of the cases.

General Summary.
The month was one of decided tenn
perature extremes, excessive cloudi-
ness and frequent precipitation. The
average snowfall was more than seven
times as great as the average for No
vember, 1914, and was the greatest ON
record for November in Idaho. The
average precipitation, however, was
slightly below normal. The mean
temperature was slightly below nor
NAL, and the minimum temperature
for the month was as low as the low
est recorded in November since 1896.
There were two pronounced cold per-
iods. but there were also considerable
periods of mild weather. There was
sufficient warmth and moisture to
start fall grain, which in many In
stances had not terminated earlier
owing to the extended drought. The
roads, which had been generally dry
and dusty for several months, becams
somewhat muddy, and the unusually
deep snow in the mountains impeded
travel to some extent. Most of the
snowfall was in the mountains, where
it accumulated to unusual depths for
so early in the season. At some noun
tain stations the snow was deeper a,
the close of the month than at the
close Of January, 1915, and the snow
was said to possess high water con-
tent Such melting as occurred did
not cause material rise in streams.
but served to supply a marked de-
hciency in the ground water, which
had existed for seevral months
Evaporation was at a minimum. The
wet weather interfered somewhat
with late threshing.

BUSINESS IS DRUNK AND
DISORDERLY SAYS EDITOR
Talk About Prosperity is Only Talk
Conditions Are Rotten.

We have been talking prosperity
when there is no such thing. At any
rate this is the view of the New Ply
mouth Sentinel. Listen!
There is whole lot of prosperity
talk going on just now in both Re-
publican and Democratic newspapers.
1t. just naturally busted out" last
week into a kind of halleluiah chorus,
and seems to be the popular song of
the day, Where does. it come from ?
Why this thusness? Who is back
of it? The cattle and the hog market
is rotten. Real estate is slower than
molasses running up hill in January.
OF course the makers of munitions
OF war are making money-all kinds
at from 40 to 500 per cent profit.
They are spending their profits in the
jewelry stores and dry goods stores
and hotels of the cities like drunken
sailors. But that isn't prosperity.
That isn't business. 1t is a drunk
and disorderly condition in industry.
and the cold gray dawn is sure to
dawn. SO why this purple-faced radi-
ance about prosperity? Why not tell
the folks the truth; to trim sails and
look out for storms.

UNHAPPY LITHUANIA

Lithuania, which has been crossed and recrossed six times by Russian and German armies since the war be- gan, and which has recently come for the seventh time within the arena of conflict. Lithuania includes the five Russian districts of Courland, Kovno, Wilma, Grodno and Suwalki, described by the Russian mapmakers as the
 Northwestern section" small DOT ton of ancient Lithuania is also in cuded in Prussia. When the Germans obtained possession of the country and undertook it's administration the Russian division of five districts was reduced to three. The inhabitants have been financially ruined by the war. It is said that nearly a third of all the houses and buildings in Lithuania have been destroyed during the successive passages of the Russian and German armies. When the Russians. retreated they destroyed everything of value that they could, and the Germans requisi- toned what was left. A large propor- ton of the inhabitants are destitute, and with the coming of winter it is feared that starvation will stalk through the land. The Lithuanians belong to the Slavonic race Just when they appeared in that part of Europe they have since occupied is not de- finitely known, but in the tenth cen- tury they were heard of under the name of the Iitva. The Lithuanians long maintained their independence against the Russians and the Poles. In the latter part of the fourteenth century their grand duke, Jagelon, be- came King of Poland. In 150I Lithu- ania was incorporated with Poland, and remained a part of that kingdom until the division of Poland, when Russia gained the lions share of Lith- uania. Funds for the relief of the stricken Lithuanians are now being raised on this side of the Atlantic. Many Lithuanians have settled in the United States and Canada, and they have made liberal contributions for the succor of their suffering brehtern in the fatherland.

Gay In Color, Simple In Design

Some of the advance models in Au- tumn afternoon costumes are exceed ingly simple, but therein lies their greatest success. Maize colored voile , trimmed with hemstitehing strikes an effective note in semi-dressy cos tunes and is used for the model shown here. The collar is of sheer white silk gauge and matches the straight. cuffs of the elbow sleeves. Plain and full describes the skirt, for although it has no stifening there is no lessen ing of it's width. In medium size the costume requires 2 yards 36-inch ma teYial.
 splendidly adapted to separate use is the waist of this frock. The back extends over the shoulders forming a yoke at the front. The open neck is finished with straight bands which extend to the lower edge of the waist, and are trimmed with buttons of fam cy design. A easing is stitclfed un- derneath at the, waistline through which elastic is drawn, forming a peplum below.
 Ono cannot be cautioned too often regarding the importance of becom- ing thoroughly acquainted with the Cuide before making an attempt to cut aay model, especially if the home dressnaker has not had wide exper- fence in sewir :.

THE WAR ON | SMALLPOX

The first attempt to introduce into western Europe the Oriental practice of inoculation of smallpox was made by Lady Mary Wortley Montague. who died 154 years ago today, Aug. 21, 1762. It was just two centuries ago this month, in August of 1716, that Lady Mary accompanied her husband to Turkey, he having been appointed British ambassador to the Porte. Lady Mary had been one of the most beau tiful women of England, but an epi- demic of smallpox, which had caused the death of her only brother, had completely destroyed her fine eye beauty. Smallpox was then the most widely diffused and most fatal of all the presidential disease which afflicted western Europe, but in the near East 1t was almost unknown, because of the practice of inoculation. Lady Mary had her son inoculated in l718, and on her return to England she began to urge the adoption of the practice. Her propaganda was greeted by mighty storm of disapprovaL the clergy de- nouncing the proposed measure as an audacious interference with the plans of God. For years the pulpit thunder ed at Lady Mary, branding her an "in- fidel," but in the course of time in- oculation found favor. Voltaire was the first to recommend inoculation in France, and his propaganda, com- menced in 1727. was very influential In 17s6 Jenner discovered vacciIS.tora.. and inoculation by smallpox gave way
 to inoculation by cowpox.

ARMENIA'S
 STAR OF HOPE

Recent Russian victories begin to give the color of assurance to the hope that Christian Armenia has been freed for all time from it's vassalage to the Turks. For centuries the Armenians have been subjected to the cruel ex- tortions of their Moslem masters. Thousands of them have been mas sacred by the bloodshirsty Kurds, and their women have been constantly sub jected to nameless indignities. That they may be permitted, after the war. to form an independent principality which now blossoms in the Armenian heart. If this is denied them, the Armenians can at least look forward joyously to annexation by Russia, since that would be vast improvement over the domination of the Turks. Armenia claims to be the second cradle of the human race. and the visitor may see the very spot where Noah's ark is alleged to have landed and where Noah established his resi- dence. Since ancient times Armenia has been ruled and exploited by its powerful neighbors. It formed part of the Assyrian. Median and Persian empires and the Kingdom of Syria be- fore Rome's legions took possession of the land. At a later period, the Par thian, Greek and Persian monarchs held sway, and 1t was overrun by the Mongols in the twelfth and by the hordes of Timour in the thirteenth century. It was just four centuries ago, in 1516, that the Turks first con- quered Armenia, and in 1904 the Shah of Persia finally abandoned Armenia to the Moslems, although he trans ported 22.000 Armenian families into his own state. Russia gained foot hold in Armenia in 1878, and now the whole country has been wrested from the Turk by the soldiers of the Czar. It is now estimated that at least a million Armenians have been slaught- cred or driven into the deserts to die by the Turks since the beginning of the present war.

THE BALLAD OF THE SAINT.

The little Cherubs whispered,
 What strange new soul is this Who cometh with a robe besmirched
 Unto the Place of Bliss ?" Then spake the Eldest Angel,
 "The robe he wears is fair The groping fingers of the poor
 Have held and blessed him there '' The Little Cherubs whispered,
 ''Who comes to be our guest With dust about his garments hem,
 And stains upon his breast?" Then spake, the Eldest Angel,
 Most lovely is the stain The tears of those be comforted, 1, Wao may not weep again." The Little Cherubs whispered,
 What strange new soul is he Who cometh with burden here
 And bears it tenderly?" Then spake the Eldest Angel,
 He bears his Iife's award The burden of mems broken hearts,
 To place before the Lord. ''The dust upon his garments hem
 My lips shall bow to it; The stains upon. the breast of him
 Are gems thrice exquisite. Oh, little foolish Cherubs,
 What truth is this ye miss ?-- There comes no saint to Paradise Who does not come like" -Theodosia J. Garrison, in Every

RICHET ON BRAVERY

That the most intelligent are the bravest in battle Is the view expressed by Dr. Charles Richet, the distinguish ed French physician and savant, who has had many opportunities to study the subject since the outbreak of the war. Dr. Richet's observations. car- ried on in the trenches and hospitals. led him to give the palm for bravery to the cultured, refined man of ner- vous temperament who, while he may be afraid, is yet able to control his fears by the exercise of his will. The ignorant and the stolid may exhibit all the qualities of bravery simply be- cause they lack intelligence and imag- ination to foresee the dangers by which they are confronted, but their cour- age, pr. Richet holds, does not per init them to perform such deeds of valor. as are possible to their com rades of a finer fibre. Another brand of courage in war, Dr. Richet finds, is due to an optimishc fatalism. The men of this type cherish the opinion that they are the special pets of fate. and believe that ther Tuck" will carry them safely through all dangers. Then there are the pessimistic fatalists, no less brave in battle, who hold the con- viction that they are certain ot die, but who have become so familiar with the thought that they have no fear of death. Dr. Richet's investigations show that religion plays little part in the matter. The atheist faces anni- hilation as bravely as the Christian who considers death the gateway to a better life. Dr. Richet Is one of the foremost physicians of France. and the author of many medical works He received his doctors degree forty years ago. Tn addition to his fame as scientist, he has attained a wide reputation as a leader in the movement for international peace and arbitra. ton.
