"Resolved: That the single
tax should supercede in Idaho all
state, county and municipal
taxes constitutionally granted, it
being agreed that all existing
federal taxes shall remain" was
the question that was debated on
Saturday evening in the auditor
ium of the High School. At
torney VIM. ID. Keeton acted as
chairman, stating in a few words
the rules of the debate and the
participants were fortunate in
securing prominent educators to
act as judges, Profs. P. S. Filler
and I. C. Libby, both of the Lew
is and Clark High School of Spo-
kane, and Prof. H. Il. Lewis of
the University Of Idaho.
The question as presented was
decided in favor of the negative,
represented by Leslie Moe and
Russell Bower of Kellogg, the de-
cision of the judges being unani-
nous. The Affirmative was
supported by Rex Taylor and
Adrian Roberts f-this city.
A small crowd of high school
students and a few citizens were
in attendance at the debate. The
Kellogg speakers came in on the
evening boat and it was not until
Q o'clock that the debate started
Those who waited were amply re-
paid for their patience. Taylor
first speaker for the Affirmative
showed much study and spoke
we'll in a clear, distinct voice and
scored several points for his side
He was followed by Moe of Kel-
logg, who held his audience from
, start to finish, forgetting every
thing else but the subject. Moe
was followed by Roberts of the
local school and Bower of Kel.
I logg closed the argument.
The decision of the audience
= was that the hour was all too
5 short. The program was en-
e liveAed by songs from the at
q tending students, who, when th
4 decision was announced, congrat
e ulated their winning opponents

brilliant notwithstanding, be-
vildered their opponents, who
were held scoreless until the
last few minutes of play, when
several pretty shots were made
by Rodgers. The Plummer boys
were in rather poor condition,
playing we'll after every pause,
but soon running down. They
guarded closely for a while and
for several minutes after the
start it looked as though a close
game would result.
Gallagher did some remark
able work i'm misunderstanding for
the home team, scoring II field
goals, while Mulroney was sec
ond with 40. Gregory shot
four neat baskets, though getting
few trials, and Plummer was held
bscoreless until he was shifted
from his position at stationary
guard. The other boys played
consistently, Martinsen getting
two baskets and Ennis 1 I'm
derwood substituted at guard in
the second half, Gregory shifting
to center.
Rodgers and Boutillier played
a good game for Plummer. The
latter suffered a broken nose in
the second half, but pluckily fin
! ished the game after having the
injured member adjusted by
Coach Hofstetter. The game
was very clean, only two fouls
being called on st. Maries and
one on Plummer. Barr refereed
the game.
The home team will go TO Mos
COW Thursday to take part in the
state tournament held by the
state university on Friday anC
Saturday.

ANOTHER PROSPECTIVE
CANDIDATE FOR CLERK

There is beginning TO be con-
siderable discussion in RECORD to
prospective candidates for city
Offices for the coming election.
From the present indications
there will be no dearth of can
didates for any of the offices but
il is the office of city clerk which
is attracting the most attention
at the present time.
In addition to those mentioned
by The Record a short time ago,
several others are being talked.
One of the most prominent of
the new names mentioned is that
of s. S. Bouton, at present coun-
ty jailor, whose friends are boom
ing him strongly for the posi-
tion. SO far as we have learned
he has not announced himself as
a candidate but his friends are
urging him to come out for tn,
Office and we understand he has
the matter under consideration
His friends urge in his behal
that he is in every way qualified
to fiji the position and woul'
,mkae the city a good officer.

councilman from the Second
Ward at the council meeting last
evening, to fiji the vacancy caused
by the resignation of A. P. Bunt,
who has removed from the city.
The Second Ward has had a hard
time keeping two cOuncilmen in
office, Mr.. Fuller being the fifth
that has served from that ward
during the two years.
c.. H. Lewis and L. Cormier
were elected two years ago. After
serving a few months Mr.. Lewis
moved into his new home outside
the city limits and had to resign.
Fulton Cook was ethen appointed
to fill the vacancy. He found
the duties Of the office took more
time than he could afford to give
and resigned. A. p. Bunt was
appointed in his place and on
his resignation and removal from
the city Mr.. Fuller was named.
In accepting Mr.. Bunt's resigna-
ton the council rendered him
vote of thanks for his services as
a member.
Water Commissioner Jerry
McCarter gave a report contain
ing a list Of the water mains he
has been obliged to thaw out.
The list was ordered placed on
file so the mains can be lowered
during the summer. City Clerk
Schultz reported the water col
lections for the month of Febru-
ary at S966.55.
A communication from o. L..
Simms was read, in which he
called the attention of the cOun-
cily to the fact that when the
grading was done on Center St..
the creek had been filled up
forcing the water over the ad-
joining property. The street
commissioner started to dig a
ditch to carry off the water but
the work has not been completed.
A motion was passed directing
the street commissioner to COM
plete the ditch as soon as the
weather will permit.
The council then proceeded to
pass three ordinances under sus-
pension of the rules. The first
of these was a dog ordinance,
placing a license of $500 on
male dogs and $500 on female
dogs. The main difference be-
tween this ordinance and the one
which it replaced is that in the
present one the license is placed
on anyone owning or harborine
a dog and violation is punish
able by a fine of from $500 x
$500 and the cost of the pro.
ceedings. The dog may be i'm.
pounded and either sold OF kille'
if found running at large withou
a license tag.
The second ordinance passes
fixes the salaries of the electiv
officers for the coming two years
By it the salaries will all b
somewhat larger than heretofore
The mayor will draw $4,000 pc

POTATOES ARE NOW SELL ING FOR OVER S2.00 PER
 BUSHEL-


 Have you any for sale? Did you heed the pleadings of the state agriculturists in the early spring and plant a few acres of the tubers? This is the very best possible object lesson. The man who planted the potatoes has considerable cash right now, and he can buy things cheaper because he does not have to ask for credit. But this is not the main question: After seeing what the fellow who planted pO- tatOes for the early crop is re- ceiving, are you going to pass up the opportunity of getting a still better price in the fall? Are you going to see some idle land in your vicinity and not urge the owner to plant it in potatoes? It does not take the richest land in the world to grow good potatoes. Almost any sort of land will make 100 bushels to the acre. Of course, the better the land, the better the yield; but with potatoes selling at their present price, and the prospects better for fall, any land can be profit ably planted in potatoes. Urge the farmers in your community to prepare their soil now and get the potatoes in early in July, and then work them good and reap a magnificent harvest. Every community must do everything now that is possible to feed it. self. If the planters cannot get seed, it is your duty to get it for them.

STRYCHNINE IN
 NEW POTATOES
MYSTERIOUS CASE FROM CLARK COUNTY DEVELOPS IN ExAMl- NATION MADE BY MANGLES-
 poRF LABORATORIES.

How enough strychnine to kill dozen families got into new potatoes which were being cooked for the con Sumption of Clark county family is worrying Sheriff Roy Golden of that county.
 The cook tasted the liquor in which the potatoes were being cooked be- cause of it's peculiar appearance. 1t was very bitter and the potatoes were thrown out. A family cat licked up some of the gravy from the potatoes and soon died This caused suspicion and some of the potatoes were fed to neighborhood dog. The dog also died. The case was then reported to Sheriff Golden, who brought the pota- toes to Little Rock and left them with the Manglesdorf Laboratories for chemical analysis.
 Dr. Wm. F. Manglesdorf took some of the liquor from the potatoes, and after putting it through the chemical tests, brought out many large cryst- als of strychnine Enough was found In tablespoonful of the liquid to Kill person, and the potatoes eyi- dently contained much more of the poison. Dr. Manglesdorf states that he has previously found poison in sus- pected food, but never in the quanti- ties shown by this little mess of po- tatoes

in inc shipments which have been roooived at the Goodwin & Jean Go. during the past week were many fine bone and cockerels, which led to an inouiry as to the cause.
 q find that the cost of feed is caus- inc many of the farmers to sell much of tbeir best stock" reports Manager Fd Meyers, flor they cannot afford to buv feed for it. Some people may be- ueve that the chickens can get out ond scratch up a living at this time of tho year but they are mistaken. The hen must have some feed to keep lay-' inc well. and many of the farmers cav they cannot afford to buy this now hence they are putting their chickens on the market Unless the orain crop is good this year, and care is taken of it, the poultry crop in the fall is going to be light"
 MT. Myers also comments upon the difference between an egg and cotton. Cotton thrives on hot nights, but eggs take the opposite turn. According to MT. Myers, the egg can stand the heat of the day, but that of the night gets fl if not placed in a cool place.
 He advocates leaving the eggs Tn cases where they can be famed by inc night breezes, if there are any, or nlaced in the spring houses or eel lars until they can be transported te market.
