GRANDMA DYGERT
IS 92 YEARS OLD
AGED LADY CELEBRATES PASSING
OF ANOTHER MILESTONE AT
HOME OF RELATIVES

Mrs. Phebe Dygert, mother of Mrs.
Laura Beardsley and A. Dygert of this
city, today celebrated the passing of
the 92d milestone in her eventful and
useful life Six of the 10 children she
raised to manhood and womanhood,
26 grandchildren and 80 great grand
children were joined by her many
friends in cheering her with best
wishes.
Grandma Dygert, as she is familiar
ly called, was born near Albany, N.
y, on February 7, 1925, the year that
James Monroe, the sixth president of
the United States, took his oath of
married and the following April she
and her husband started for Illinois
travelling via the Erie canal and the
Great Lakes intending to settle in
what was called THE Far West" On
the first day of May they landed in
Chicago, which was a small village
two horse teams, one of which they
hired to take them to some government
lands which they had bought for $1.20
an acre and upon which they made |
their home The land is situated near |
what is now Crystal Lake, Illinois, |
about 40 miles from Chicago.
Grandma is now enjoying very good |
health and her mind is remarkably
clear Her only concern is that since
an accident last autumn when she suf-
fered a severe fall, she has not been
able to care for herself as her inde-
pendent spirit Graves. This worries
1er more than it does those who care
'or her.

OF PRESIDENTS ACT
By Vote of 78 to Endorsement is Given to Break
ing of Diplomatic Relations with Germany

ate today adopted the resolution Of
fered Monday by Senator William ].
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, endorsing the pres
dents action ia breaking diplomatic
relations with Germany by a vote of
78 to S.
When Senator Stone called for ac-
ton on the resolution this afternoon a
spirited debate was precipitated. The
senator stated that while he hoped the
United States would not enter the war,
he wanted the world to know that the
senate is supporting the president.
In severing relations with Germany
the president did what the United
States honor, safety and future secur-
ity required" stated Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. when
the United States has a controversy
with foreign country all party lines
should be removed. Let's show the
world that the senate is undivided.
Division shows weakness. Personal
feelings and beliefs should be forgot
ten. We should let the world know
that the people of the United States
and congress are back of the presi-
dent"
Senator Lodge upheld the presidents
right to raise the embargo on muni-
tions.
Senator w. A. Smith of Michigan
said that to repudiate the presidents
stand would be to bring upon the coun-
.ry humiliation "The senate should
lot share the responsibility, shouted
Senator John d. Works of California.
Endorsement of the severance of dip
omatic relations would be endorse
nent of a threat of war
"The United States could not en-
orse the breaking of relations and re-
cain neutral" he declared. Britain
as persistently violated American
lights, and the United States has
orne the violations as if an actual
lily of Great Britain and Germany
as therefore no reason to feel friend
7 toward us. | protest this move
tent tending toward war with Ger
any as being without sufficient
ause.
Senator James X. Vardman of Mis-
ssippi called the severance an "un-
Use move.''

RUMORS OF TRI=STATE
DIVISION AT CAPITAL
Both Branches of Legislature Taking Interest in Re-
port that New State Division Plan Will Be
Launched This Week by Western Senators.

BOISE, Feb. Both houses of the
legislature are interested in the re-
port being circulated that tri-state
division plan may be launched this
week which will seek not only to give
Idaho new state but to create a
new state out of western and south
central Idaho, leaving the present
state confined to the southeastern Sec
ton. Western senators are said to be
working on such a plan.
The reference committee of the
house has reported the resolution to
create a new state out of northern
Idaho for printing ,and a test vote will
be reached on the measure this week.
1t is also being charged here that
a deal has been entered into by nor
back bill calling for a preferential
vote on the permanent location of the
capital, to determine if it shall remain
in Boise.
The constitution provides that after
having been located 20 years the state
can take a preferential vote to def
initely fix the location of the capital.
Under such an agreement both sec
tions were to vote to change the loca-
tion from Boise to Pocatello. The nor
thern members deny that such an
agreement exists and assert it is only
being used to cloud the northern divis-
ion plan.

With their trillInE of rare old lace
And thought Of the slim pink finger tips

And looked at ErandmOthers cushioned shoes
And thought Of the slippers small

That stands BY the attic wall.
And yesterday grandmother looked At me
