CATTLE TICK QUARANTINE
TO Be CALLED OFF,

An order signed by Secretary Of
riculture ID. f. Houston lifts on De-
cember l from $500 square miles In
southern States the Federal Quarau-
tine against movement Of Southern
cattle. 1t is of great Importance to
cattle raisers and dealers of Northern
States as well as those of the South
In regions infested by the cattle
tick 1t has not been safe to import
better stock for the improvement OF
Southern herds because cattle freshly
brought in from regions where tho
tick Is not prevalent are especially
prone to sicken and die from the fever
germs carried by the blood sucking
parasite. The Federal quarantine a.
gainst the cattle tick, on the other
hand. has not prevented the shipment
of cattle from infested sections for
use as stockers and feeders in FREQ
territory only under quarantine re-
strictions and for immediate slaugh.
ter.
The release order for December /
frees the largest amount Of territory
ever liberated at one time since the
Federal campaign against the cattle
tick was started in 1906, and, added
to 5,234 square miles freed In March
and September. will make 1917 by far
the greatest year so far in the anniht.
lation of the tick.
Nine Southern States will benefit
by the release order. The largest ben
eficiary will be Mississippi. which
will be entirely freed from quaran.
tine and will open broad avenue of
tick-free territory from the Northern
States to the Gulf of Mexico.

The new law passed by the last
Congress regulating the sale, pur-
chase and possession of explosives in
the United States which went into
force and effect yesterday, November
Is, is of far-reaching character, and
carries a maximum penalty of $4,000
or one year in the penitentiary. or
both. If a farmer wants to use pow
der for blasting stumps, or for any
purpose he must first procure Ii
cense from the County Auditor, or, If
so arranged. from a designated jus
tice of the peace. Not only must one
dealing in explosives have license
but those using explosives. and at a
time like this, when the country is
full of the enemy and food warehous-
es and other property is being blown
up, this law will be vigorously en-
forced. The Act is a measure to pro-
hibit the manufacture, distribution,
storage, use, and possession in time

explosives in your possession you had
better notify the County auditor at
once.

FOUR MONTHS

Four months in the county jail-ha, ha!
Four months in the county Jail!
Now wouldn't that frizzle your hair my boy
Four months in the county jail!
We-all were guessin' how long he'd get
The traitor. spy and Prussian tool
Some said five and some said ten
And some opined fifteen, by hen,
None thought less than three you bet
And 'em right the Kaisers fool!'
Four months in the county jail-ho. ho!
Four months in the county Jail!
Say. doesn't that cop your goat-Oh. Man!
Four months in the county Jail!
He only defed the countrys laws
To protect itself in its hour of peril;
He merely spat on Old Glory's fold.
Corrupted youths, their honor Sold
Conspired to wreck 'his country's cause,
And bring it to shame before the world.
That's all he did, that's all-ho hum.
(What think We'll keep it mum),
And just for that he got four months
Four months in the county Jail!

IdahO'S Worst Offender
Gets Only Four Months

Moscow, Idaho, Nov. 12.-Judge f.
S. DIETRICH today in the United States
district Court sentenced Ingwald
Berg. and Leland and King Mooers,
Orofino slackers, to so days each in
the county Jail for failure to register
for military service June S. The
young men told the court that they
refused to register because of con-
scientious objections to war.
At the expiration of their 60 days
in the county Jail they will be auto
matically registered and subject to
draft. Should they then disregard
the draft or any government order
they will be treated as deserters, and
tried by military court martial. II
will then not be so days in a county
Jail.
The case against Charley Gleason
for failure to register on June was
dismissed, the young man having reg
istered, and testifying on the stand
that he had ignored the draft law be-
cause of the Sunday meeting at the
Mooers home about June 1, at
which time Attorney Edward Hofs-
tede of Orofino, had Influenced him
to defy the law. Mrs. Gleason, the
young mans mother. has expressed
much regret over the action of her
boy. and his excellent standing in the
community had convinced the author
tiles that his offense was the result
solely of Hofestede and the Mooers.
What an outrage! To arrest Won
Hofstede and fix his bond at $4,000,
when all he did was to go the limit
in giving aid and comfort to a gov
ernment that has raped Belgium and
waged war on the United States. The
government ought to apologize for
arresting him.
1t is quite likely that Won Hofstede
got all balled up over his rights under
free speech-since his pro-Germau
activities were stopped before he had
really organized German army in
defense Of the Faderland.

One of the most important prob
lens confronting the State Council
OF Defense, in session at Boise Octo-
Der 29th. was the serious condition OF
agricultural labor. Urged by all in
authority to increase production as a
patriotic duty. the farmers of Idaho
have found great difficulty in caring
for the crop after Ii has been pro-
duced. The fact was established that
in towns and villages where there
were many idle men, the offer of alb :
normally high wages for work in saw
ing the crops of potatoes, fruit. sugar
beets. etc. has been met with indif-
ference or contempt, and often with a
downright refusal to work at any
price. Farmers are often thus con
fronted with the loss not alone OF
profits but of crops. In an hour when
the welfare Of the nation is endanger-
ed. when the entire world faces a
shortage of food. when it is of vital
Importance that every resource of the
nation should be mobilized. 1t is the
serious duty of all peace officers and
all others in authority to use every
provision of law\ to compel idlers who
prey upon the community but render
no service, either to go to work or to
move on. The Scripture lesson. IF
any will not work. neither shall he
eat" should be enforced
The legal committee Of the State
Council of Defense, consisting of
Judge j. F. Ailshie, former Justice of
the Supreme Court. and J. T. Pence,
of Boise, and J. r. Boutwell,, Of Twin
Falls, attorneys, was asked for legal
opinion as to the provisions and scope
of the vagrancy law and of the possi-
bility Of its use to remedy conditions
existing in various parts of the state.
The following. the report of the conf
mittee. is commended to the attention
of all peace officers and others in au-
thority as useful recourse which
perhaps may obviate the necessity of
the use of more drastic measures.

Fowls may also be freed from llce
by dipping them In five per cent solu-
ton of creolin, or xenoleum. Care
should be exercised to protect the fowl
from taking cold after dipping. Dip
ping is not used very extensively. Blue
ointment is frequently recommended
as a remedy for lice. A piece the size

rubbed into the bird, around and under

Matched. Birds should be busted two
or three times during the summer at
intervals Of a week.
Not only should the hens be well
treated, but the hen house-the home
of the hen-should have a thorough
housecleaning. Droppings should be
removed at least once a week. The
nests and roosts should be sprayed
often with such coal tar disinfectants
as carbolenium or zenoleum to insure
cleanliness.

disinfected coops for at least "a hours
The fumes arising from the applica-
ton Of these coal tar products will
kill the young chicks, but will not be
sufficiently strong to injure the old

CHAPTER XVI.
Freedom.

| Freedom.
On the northern bank of the Timan-
yoni the Brewster street, of which the
wagon bridge is prolongation, be-
comes a country road, forking a few
hundred yards from the bridge ap-
proach to send one o. its branchings
northward among tho Little Creek
ranches and another westward up the
right bank of the stream.
At this fork of the road, between
eleven and twelve o'clock of the night
of alarms, Sheriff Harding's party of
special deputies began to assemble.
Under each mans saddle flap was
slung the regulation weapon OF the
west-a scabbarded repeating rife !;
and the small troop punching itself In
the river road looked serviceably mill
tant and businesslike.
An automobile rolled silently down
the mesa road from the north and
came to a stand among the horses.
The sheriff drew rein beside the car
and spoke to one Of the two occu-
punts:

: 'Twenty."

the midnight silence was unbroken

and the murmurings OF the nearby

sential to success, and grains which
are in poor condition should not .be
fed. Old grains which are hard are
better than new soft grains. especially
for pigeons with squads. Good wheat
screenings are often fed with success.
Clear drinking water, grit, broken
oyster shell and charcoal should be
kept before the pigeons all the time.
Salt Is fed In various. forms, and a
supply of this material is generally
considered essential. Salt may be fed
In lump form, such as rock salt OF
fine salt moistened and baked into q
hard lump, without danger of the
pigeons eating too much.
Pans of water should be provided
daily except during the winter. They
should be used only about twice
week during the winter.
Age for Marketing.
Squads are fed by their parents
until they are marketed, which is usu-
ally at from three and half to four
and half weeks of age. They must
be sold about this age, as the period
during which they are ready for mar
ket rarely exceeds one week. Squads
are In good market condition when full
ly feathered under the wings, which Is
usually about the time they begin to
leave their nests, and If not killed at
this time they soon lose their baby fat
and their flesh begins to get hard.
Catch the squads to he marketed
In the morning before they are fed by
their parents, SO that their crops will
be empty. Squads are usually killed
In the same manner, as poultry by cut

wringing or breaking the neck. The
latter Is done by pressing the thumb
against the place where the homes Of
the neck join the head, until the head
Is dislocated. IN sticking, the SOUNDS

hooks. with their wings doubls-locksd
