Tha Germ Covered Bucket.

How they sadden this heart, the
scenes of my childhood,
When dread recollection pre-
SCENTS them to view
MalariOus meadows and danger
GUS wildwood,
The place where the mushrooms
so poisonous grew:
The pond was a cesspool: the
stable stood by it,
Draining into the stream where
the cataract fell;
The poultry house sat with the
dairy house nigh it;
And that terrible bucket that
hung in the we'll
The fungus grown bucket, the
germ laden bucket,
The moss covered bucket that
hung in the well.
That desperate bucket l thought
was a treasure,
l hadn't the intellect then to
feel fear,
| drank from its microbes with ex-
quisite pleasure,
l enjoyed it as much as the
.drunkard does beer.
How ardent seized it with hands
that were glowing,
And quick to the frOg-haunted
bottom it fell,
And soon with the seeds of di-
sease Overlooking,
And dripping with typhoid, it
rose from the we'll
That death laden bucket, disease
breeding bucket,
That germ covered bucket,
arose from the well.
Poor dad was addicted to quinine
and bitters,
Poor mother was taken with
fever and chills
And we buried 'em both, the in
noeent critters,
In the populous graveyard that
blOOmed on the hill
The graveyard that gobbled the
whole generation,
That drained toward the house
when the summer rain fell
Sometimes / dream of my fathers
plantation
And wake with a scream when !
think of that well
And that terrible bucket, that
death dealing bucket,
That germ covered bucket that |
hung in the well.

Payette County Comes In With q
Whoop.

Payette, May 12.-Fully so De-
cent of the vote cast at the elee
ton yesterday was for the erea
ton of the new county of Payette
out of Canyon county. The tOtal
vote was $500. The vote for the
creation Of the new county was
PIP and that opposed was SIS.
/ According to the enabling act
passed by the last legislature a two
thirds vote in favor Of the crea-
ton of the county was necessary
to make it effective. The returns
show approximately so per cent.
Payette is to be the county seat.
There was no objection on the
part Of Canyon county to the en-
abling act when it came up in the
Legislature.
Immediately following the re-
ceipt of the returns, Payette held
a big ratification meeting and eel
ebrated with a monster bonfire.
Twenty automobiles went to 9TH
er towns in the new county to-
congratulate the residents on the
result Of the election.
We'd wager a cookie to sun
burned spud that P. Z. Miller, the
ex-mayOr Of Nezperce, who now
owns and operates a big ranch in
the Payette valley, had a big
hand in the proceedings, and his
Nezperce prairie friends cOngrat- |
llate him and his neighbors on
heir victory.

Why is a Fly /?

No longer to be dismissed with
a contemptuous "shoo," but an
influence to be Feekoned with, the
fly is a hustler from away back,
and he distributes samples of pes
thence, marked d. 0. D.=Death
on Deliyery-with lavish hand.
We may admire him for his in
dustry, pertinacity and business
enterprise; we may love him
9ukewarmly- as one of Gods
creatures, but we had better wipe
him gently but firmly out of ex-
istence just the same. He is the
best travelling salesman known,
carries a grip on each of his six
legs and a trunk in his head.
His line Of samples is extensive
and will last from time to eter-

Judges Release Jurymen for Farm
Work.

District Judges over the state
are complying with the request OF
Gov. Alexander that men sum
moned for jury service be released
until such a time as crops can be
planted in order that seeding will
not be interfered with, says the
Boise Capital News.
Judge Scales, recently appoint
ed Judge of the tenth judicial dis
triet by the governor, who in con-
Quoting court at Lewiston, inn
mediately dismissed the men sum-
moned for jury service on receipt
of the request of the chief exee1-
tive. Judge f. G. Steele wrote to
the governor, in part, as follows
~ beg to suggest that in this
district every possible precautiOn
in this regard is being taken. The
term in Clearwater county, with
the aid of the bar and court Off
cials, has been cleared, in so far
as jury work is concerned, with
out calling a jury.
ssIn Latah county the spring
term commenced on April %, and
is now being held. The time for
the jury to attend has been fixed
for June 4, when it is hoped the
farmers and others engaged in
planting viii have the work so far
advanced that the term will not
seriously interfere with their
work.
However, when that time
comes, I assure you that no man
who wishes to do his sbit with
the army of producers viii be in
terfered with by the court pro-
cess.

of this judicial district realize the
importance of using every avail
able method and every particle of
energy in aid of the nations re-
quest to prepare for the great
struggle in which we are now en-
gagged. They realize that we are
engaged IN a war in which the is
sue will be determined as to
whether the high ideals of eivili-
cation as desired by the democrat
cies of the world shall be finally
embraced by the nations as their
guide in future, or whether all ma
tions must bow to Prussian mill

submarine warfare, as the proper
method of government.

alton of your suggestions, or any
others you may see fit to make
along these lines. "

Professor Maccaughey remarked on
the great value that field work brings
to the biological courses at the Col.
lege OF Hawaii. He visited many uni
versities and colleges in various parts
OF the country, and nowhere was 30
much attention paid to field work. As
an example Of the work to be done,
there win be a number Of trips made
TO the head Of .Manoa valley, where
study will be made OF the zonation OF
plant life; several trips win be made
along the beach, particularly around
Diamond Head, where excellent op.
portunity to study plant and animal
forms is given by the coral reefs.
The study OF economic and orna-
mental plants will form an important
part Of the botany course. The Ho.
n0lulu region has an unusual variety
Of introduced plants. and the city Of
Honolulu may be regarded as a vast
botanical garden, with many fine
specimens OF plants that can be
