CASE APPEALED TO
THE DISTRICT COURT

Caldwell, March 10.-An appeal from
the justice court at Nampa to the dis
trict court for this county has been
filed in the case of George L. Langdon
against ]. L. Wolf by the defendant.
The case is the outcome of contro-
versy as to whether threshed clover
hay is straw. The defendant had rent
ed farm from the plaintiff last year
and the contract entered into by them
provided that the plaintiff was to re-
ceive the straw of the crops grown on
the farm, but after the threshing of
the clover hay the defendant contended
that threshed clover hay was not
straw, but in the justice court of JUS
ttce G. 7. Moore at Nampa, the court
held that the threshed hay was straw
and that it was the property of the
plaintiff and from this decision the de-
PENDANT now appeals.

VICTIM
rs BURIED AT STAR

Star, March 10.-Funeral services
for Mrs. G. w. Johnson, who died at
her home at this place Thursday night
from starvation consequent to a fast of
10 days, were held today from the
church of the religious cult to which
she belonged, the services being con-
Quoted by Rev. B. w. Rice of Caldwell.
The death of Mrs. Johnson is attrib-
uted to religious zeal in a belief that
she was tempted by the devil and was
necessitated to fast to overcome the
temptation. For ten days she firmly
refused all foods, but a few hours be-
fore her death announced that the ban
imposed upon her for the elimination
of the temptation had terminated, but
her constitution was so weakened by
this time that death soon followed.
SPEAK IN UNKNOWN TONGUE"
The cult to which the deceased be-
longed is usually referred to as the
mission of the Apostolic faith" and the
members of the cult are commonly
called Holy Rollers" Among their
Jealous practices is that of speaking
in IAN unknown tongue" at their meet
ings in which they completely give
way to their ultra emotional mood.
Another of their beliefs is that they
may be restored to health during i'll
ness through trust in the divine power
and as a result they attach but little
importance to the services of physi-
clans.

CASES OF INTEREST
WILL CONE BEFORE
THED|STR|CT COURT
Former County Assessor to
Be Tried for Alleged
Shortage-Libel Case to
Be Heard.

Caldwell, March 10. Ihc regular
March term of the district court for
Canyon county will convene in this
city Monday morning. The docket Is
a heavy one, and it is probable that
trial jury will not be summoned until
the latter part of the week. Monday
is likely to be consumed in the calling
of the calendar, and following this sew
eral days will be taken up in the hear
ing of motions and demurrers.
Among the most important cases on
the docket are the cases against A. o.
Christopher, former county assessor,
charged with shortages in his official
settlements with the county approx
mating $4,000, and the case, institut-
ed against John l.. Davis, editor of the
Caldwell Tribune, by Henry Griffiths.
former county attorney. in which GRIM
inal libel is alleged and the case against
G. II. Moore, of Nampa, former asses
sor of the county, who is also charged
with shortages in his official settle
ments with the county.
The bonding county which bonded
Mr.. Moore asserts that he is not short
in his settlement with the county after
having had an Audit made of the books
of the office by one of It's expert ac-
countants The alleged shortage of
Mr. Moore was first reported by present
state auditor, Clarence Van Deusen, of
Boise, after he had made an audit of
the records of the county for the
county. Since the bonding company
bonding Moore asserts that Van Deu-
sens findings are not a matter of fact,
much interest is evidenced in the case,
and it's trend of development will be
followed in all sections of the county
with marked interest.
EDITOR TO ENTER PLEA.
The case against Mr.. Davis of the
| Tribune, will come up Wednesday
morning when he will appear before
Judge Bryan and enter his plea. The
charge against him grew out of the
publication of several editorials in his
paper criticising Henry Griffiths, then
county attorney. in connection with the
trial of Vern Huntzbury in the Npro-
bate court In the trial referred to,
Huntzbury was adjudged insane and
! committed to the asylum at Blackfoot
! Subsequently, he was released and a
brief time afterwards, re-arrested up
on the initiative of A. +. Stone, the
newly elected county attorney, who
/ took the position that the charge
against Huntzbury had never been
legally terminated, but still pended
This case entered into the last cam

Potato Crop Wins Nation Wide
Fame for Deer Flat Country

the past two years has been great and
as a natural consequence, there will
be a great expansion of the potato in
dustry in this community this year.
Not less than 900 acres will be plant
ed to potatoes there this spring. C. r..
Oellien, one of the leading potato grow
ers of this renowned belt, will plant 40
acres of his farm to idaho Rufals"
and Melted Gems" Twenty four acres
will be planted to Idaho Rurals"
16 acres to Melted Gems" Mr.. Oel-
lien confidentially expects an average
yield of 800 bushels to the acre. From
% acres planted to Melted Gems" last
year he secured an average yield Of
400 bushels to the acre. From the po-
tatoes, alfalfa hay and grain on his
40-acre farm last year, Mr.. Oellien
realized a revenue of $500.
He located in the Deer Flat com
munity in 1919, coming out from
Greeley, Colo, where he had a number
of years of experience as a potato
grower. His farm is eight miles south
and west of this city, and the progress
attained by him in the industry
which gave Colorado 50 much pub
Lefty in past years is highly re-
Elective of what may be expected OF
the industry in this section. More
over, the very fact that Mr.. Oellien and
Mr.. Smith, better known throughout
Canyon county as Potato Smith,
both experienced potato growers in
Colorado have the confidence to To-
cate in the Deer, Flat community and
engage in the industry on such an eX-
tensive scale tends to inspire CONT
dence in it's possibilities for the devel-
opment of this industry to proportions

Caldwell, March 10.--The widely
famed Deer Flat potato belt which is m
proximity to this city may well ne
termed Americas potato garden" for
through it's wonderful crops of this
product the past two years and the
phenomenal revenue the farmers Of
this rich section have received from
them. it has come into national pub
licity as the leading potato section
of the entire United States. The vast
ness of the revenue coming to this
community the past two years from
this crop is well indicated by the fact
that it's farmers last year received sums
for their crops equalling the valuation
of their farms. This was the general
rule and not the exception.
The community was visited by po-
tato experts from the potato growing
cCnters of the country or rather from
those sections which had taken this
rank in the past and they freely con-
ceeded that this favored community
now had the lead of all other sections
in the country, not excepting the re-
nowned Greeley, Colo, section itself
They were astounded at the crop re-
cords which they observed, and made
q close study of the country from the
viewpoint of it's capacity for develop
ment as a great potato producing sec
tion and were greatly impressed by
the study given by them to this widely
advertised territory.
THE DISTRIBUTING POINT.
Unquestionably, the industry is des-
tined to become of great import to this
city. the distributing point of this com.
munity. for the stimulus given the in
dustry by the great prosperity tina
the crops have brought to the farmer!

IA cramp is merely contraction of the
muscles caused by the penetration of the
cold. Obviously it could not itself cause
drowning. Its worst effect, according to
the Popular Science Monthly, is to cause a
panic which throws the swimmer off his
guard, causing him to let the air out of his
lungs and thus allow the air passages to be-
come filled with water. The safe guards
againsts such panic are absolute confidence
in the floating power of the body and a
demonstrate knowledge of the proper way
to fill the lungs quickly to utmost capacity
with air.
The moment cramp is felt the swimmer
should turn on his back and beg in to gulp
the air, making no effort to keep himself
from sinking. AS he sinks he slowly ex-
hales under water, through the mouth, with
the lips puckered as for whistling. If it is
stomach cramp the knees will be drawn
up to the face"

Gasoline Locomotives

The mobility of advancing troops and
their ability to hold position successfully
depends on the bringing up of supplies from
bases beyond the reach of the enemy's shells.
The task is still more difficult when sudden
assaults call for heavy reinforcements of
fighting men and munitions at scattered
points. The motor truck has answered ad-
mirably upon many occasions, but railways
when available are still better,
Steam traction, however, is not practical
where coal and water are not readily at
hand and besides, the coal burning engine
is not so economical as might be desired.
The Russian armies have suffered from a
deficiency of coal and steam locomotives, but
they have made great use of small, light,
gasoline locomotives which are easily and
cheaply built, many of them in this country.
These sturdy little tractors are to the loco
motives what the army mule is to the horse.
They are trustworthy and hard working,
and need little care, All they ask is mar
row guage tracks laid upon almost any
kind of road bed and enough gasoline to
feed their motors. The Russians use them
not only to carry forward supplies to the
advancing troops but to haul ammunition
and food to the trenches. Each locomotive
weighs about seven tons but it can draw
over rough road bed at least thirty tons of
load.
The tractors operate on high and low
gears. On low gear they do four miles an
hour, and at full speed eight miles. They
can run with equal facility forward or back
ward. One good quality is that their ex-
haust can be muffled, SO that they can make
little noise-and of course they make no
smoke.-Er.

Character in WALKING

Quick steps are indicative of energy and
agitation.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise. curl
osity, discretion or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with pre-
occupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as stoop-
ing and noiseless, with short, nervous. anx-
ious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short suggest
a gentle or reflective state of mind as the
case may be.
Where revengeful purpose is hidden
under feigned smile, the step will be stink
ing and noiseless.
The proud step is slow and measured;
the toes are conspicuously turned out, the
legs Strengthened.
The direction of the steps, wavering and
following every changeable impulse of the
mind inevitably betrays uncertainty, hest
tation and indecision.
Obstinate people, who in argument rely
more on muscularity than on intellectual
power, rest the feet fatty and firmly on the
ground, walk heavily and slowly and stand
with the legs firmly planted and far apart.
