May Appoint Republican.

That A. L. Freehafer of the public
utilities commission declines to take
the judgeship newly created in the
Seventh judicial district and that a
Republican is slated to land the plum
was practically verified Tuesday by
the governor, who rendered the place
to Mr. Freehafer. Further than to
state that he had notified the COVER
nor of his decision, Mr.. Freehafer de-
clared himself not at liberty to speak
of the matter. Asked as to whether
or not he had picked a man for the
judgeship, the governor answered: 81
have nothing more to say about the
appointment than that Republican
will probably get the place" Rumor
has it that l. F. Smith, prominent
Weiser attorney and a Republican,
has an excellent chance of landing the
appointment.

On Tuesday evening a crowd of
young people gathered at the home OF
Miss Fern Robinson in honor of her

IN the entertaining line. A delicious
lunch with ice cream was served by
Mrs. Robinson.
John Dewey of Letha was in En-
NETT Wednesday having some dental

eral of her daughter, Kate, who died

Friday evening the Emmett High
School basketball team defeated the
Payette team at Payette by score of
SO to 35. The game was a whirlwind
from start to finish and the result was
in doubt from the beginning. This was
the last game of the season in the
league schedule Payette is entitled tc
the league pennant on the greatest
number of games won, but owing to
the fact that Emmett was close sec
ond, and has twice defeated Payette,
it gave them place in the state
championship series played at Cald-
well this week. .

Hail Hit Oklahoma Peaches.

A heavy wind, rain and hail storm
which struck Chickasha, Okla, one
day last week completely destroyed
the fruit crop in section one mile
wide and ten miles long. The storm
went through the best Elberta peach
growing section in the state and
stripped the trees of their buds, which
were just ready to blossom. Three
inches of hail fell and hundreds of
birds and wild ducks were found dead
the next morning.

1t may be so and it may not, but a
Los Angeles student affirms it in an
examination paper and here it is:
Beethoven discovered the sonata in
four moves. Before this 1t was a

for the violin and they were called
string quartets. When a piano sonata
was for an orchestra it was called a
symphony. The ninth piano sonata
he wrote for voices TO sing"

proved a very enjoyable event. The
young folks were chaperoned by Mr..

that occurred to mar the happiness
of all present took place while three
young ladies were carrying the brim-

exertion was so great that said young
ladies shook all the hairpins out of
their heads and they (the hairpins)
fell into the punch bowl, giving the
contents a flavor that was out of the
ordinary.

Diet. Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die of a
thickening of the arteries or of kidney
disease. The kidneys become clogged
and do not filter the poisons from the
blood, and one trouble follows another,
high blood pressure damages the heart,
arteries and kidneys. Usually its dan
ger signals are backache, pain here or
there, swollen feet or ankles, rheumatic
twinges or spots appearing before the
eyes.
"The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day or not at all. Plenty
of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water frequently. Before meals take
little Anuric, the great uric acid neutral
izer that is easily obtained at the drug
store. When you have dizziness, chills
or sweating, worry, or dragging pains
in back, try this wonderful enemy to
uric acid, which DR.. Pierce of Buffalo,
N. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
You will find Anuric many times more
potent than lithia, dissolves uric acid
as hot water does sugar"
