Taking advantage of the principle
that a rooster must stretch to crow
the Atlanta (Ga.) City Council has
found method to prevent chanti-
cheers from disturbing the quiet OF
night. Rooster owners have been or
dered to install strips of board above
each poultry roost at such height
that the stretching process will be i'm
possible and each incipient crow will
die in each ROSTERS throat. Allan
ia scientists who have tried out this
preventive method assert that roos-
ter can no more crow without stretch
ing than bobtailed dog, lacking the
necessary stabilizer, can walk foot
log. Persons living near chicken
houses, not themselves poultry fan
ciers, are reported satisfied with the
new regulation.

According to the Blackfoot Opt
mist, Big Jimmie, the oldest and
wealthiest Indian on the Fort Hall
reservation, died very SUDDENLY Mon
day morning at A o'clock. His death
is quite mystery, as he has always
been in good health and spirits. His
demise came as suddenly as though he
had been shot. The reservation and
another doctor claim that his death
was due to some trouble of his head
which they did not explain. Deceased
was born in the vicinity of Boise a
bout seventy years ago, and leaves
a wife,a 45-year-old son and two other
children. He was one of the first
denizens of the reservation, and his
estate, consisting of land and stock,
will appraise in the neighborhood OF
100000.

GREAT BRITAIN WOULD PUT 4
BAN ON ALL GERMAN
EXPORTS.
ONE PEACE TERM
This Is Suggested as One OF the
Terms of Peace at the End of
the War - Would Enforce
Order With Navy.
BY Wilbur $. Forrest,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent .
LONDON, January 11.-The inser-
ltion of clause in the peace agree
jment requiring Germany to refrain
from all export business for a period
lof years was one of the methods
suggested by Great Britain's board
of trade in an effort to cripple Ger
imany's commerce after the war, it
was learned today.
Leading London business men
lgenerally approved of the statement
made by Walter Runciman, president
of the board of trade, in the house
of commons last night that Great
Britain so cripple Germany's COM
merce that the Germans cannot again
dispute the world supremacy of the
British nation.
The proposal to cut off Germanys
exports was the most drastic
made today Men who advocate such
course declared that the British
navy will have no trouble in enforc-
ling such measure, but Germany
might buy herself out with huge
lindemnities.
The board of trade is inquiring
Into the possibilities of general
boycott by an agreement with the
allied powers which would refuse to
ibuy German made goods for cev-
itain number of years after the war.
At the same time England is pre-
pairing to bid for the commerce OF
neutral nations. Arrangements have
been almost completed for
an Empire Fair" to be
held in London in 1917.
Particular attention will be given TO
products formerly manufactured in
iGermany, but which have been made
lin England and the colonies since
1.-THE beginning of the war. A build
ling costing more than a million dol
lars to house the exhibit will be erect
ed. Efforts are being made to bring
commission buyers here from eVery
country in. the world.
