expresses either in the German reich

in the people but demands more than

Penalty of the Peach.

The Egyptians appear to have been
acquainted with what is commonly
called prussic acid, the most deadly Of
poisons. 1t is held that they distilled 1t
from certain plants and trees, notably
the peach. In the Louvre there is an
ancient Egyptian papyrus from which
the following has been deciphered:
Pronounce not the name Of l. A. o.
under, the penalty of the peach" This
has been supposed to be death warn
ing to those who might be tempted t.
reveal mysteries in connection with the
religious rites of the priests.
The Romans probably learned of prus-
sic acid from the Egyptians. History
has 1t that In the reign Of Tiberius a
Roman knight accused of treason drank
poison and Immediately fell dead at
the feet Of the senators, a significant
circumstance, inasmuch as no other
poison has the almost instantaneous
effect of prussic acid.

TROUBLE FOR FREE PUBLICITY
Government Investigation of News
Story by Auto Co. Not Marked Adv.

Free publicity and news" stories
printed about advertised articles in a
newspaper, and not marked "adver-
tisement,' are under consideration by
the postoffice department, with the
possibility of prosecution under the
Burne act OF august "a, 1912. The
inquiry now being instituted among
twenty-five or thirty-five newspapers
in different cities is as to whether a
reading notice was published
advertising space was purchased or
promised and whether or not the same
notice would have been published had
not the advertisement been printed or
promised. This brings up the whole
question of free publicity. If the
"news' stories are confined to those
who advertise, and it appears that they
are printed in consideration of the pur-
chase of space in the advertising sec
ton, the failure of publisher to mark
the notice ADVERTISEMENT in the
opinion of the department, requires an
explanation.
The letters sent out hinge on a
fnews" story of the winning of con
test of certain car, printed persum-
ably, simultaneously in different
cities.
The question as to whether the ar
ticle was printed with the understand
ing that the manufacturer or dealer
should purchase space in the news
paper is asked pointedIy.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

School was dismissed Friday, Dec. %
at noon, On account of Miss Brooks be-
ing called away.
Many local high school pupils have
been enjoying themselves the last week
taking sleigh rides.
Examinations will probably be held
ton. Time is now being given for re-
view.
Many of the high school students at
tended dance given by the Girls First
Aid last Thursday. All reported hav-
ing had a splendid time.
A large number of local high school
boys and girls went to the train Satur-
day night, December 23rd, to meet the
basket ball team which returned that
night from Charleston,
Many of the old high school graduates
and undergraduates who have been CO.
ing to school and college at outside
points spent their Christmas vacation
with friends and their parents in this
city.
Several of the local high school pupils
spent Thursday evening very enjoy
ably at a party held at Longs, the
party being given for their daughter,
Mamie who is spending the holidays
here.
The next Delphian program will be
given by that society Saturday night,
January 18th. The play is very ex-
cellent one and has been practiced on
often. No doubt it will be very sue
eessful and will give the Delphians a
good name.
The 9Th grade play staged December
22nd in the school auditorium turned
out to be very successful. A medium
sized audience attended the play. The
play was supervised by Miss Longfel-
low and everyone present will agree
with her that some exceptionally good
talent was expressed by the youngsters.
The basket ball trip taken by the
local high school December 81 ended by
the locals winning one and losing one
game. The game won was played with
Asotin Thursday night, which ended in
score of 1920. Friday night the boys
played Charleston high school but were
defeated 20-12. Both games were very
fast and clean turnout. The boys re-
turned Saturday night quite worn out
but still able to walk to town.
Many of the local teachers spent
their Christmas vacation visiting with
their parents or other relation. Misses
Erbes and Vincent spent their vacation
in Lewiston Miss Anderson and Mezils
enjoyed themselves in Spokane. Miss
Edmundson spent her vacation in Mos
cow, Miss Brooks, however, was sud
denly called to her fathers bedside
Thursday, December 22nd, the father
having taken suddenly ill. Nearly all
of the teachers expect Miss Brooks re-
turn Monday evening.
Saturday night the locals have engag.
ed the Ilo-Vollmer town basket ball
team for a game. The game will
probably be the fastest one witnessed
on the local floor this year The Vol.
mer team is comprised of old high
school and college graduates, they have
succeeded in holding Nezperce to close
game and in beating Asotin. This is the
first game since the holidays and d
large crowd is expected. Come out and
see the high school beat a team which
has succeeded in beating our town team
large number of times. Game called
