A TELEGRAM

Dear Husband: If you want to
see the coal pile for the last time
before it passes away, come at once.
Wife.
While we are worrying about the
button shortage, why not find out
what becomes of all the buttons
missing when your shirt comes back
from the laundry?
Europe is not continent; it is a
nightmare.
We always enjoy our wife's lee
lures on thrift. 1t leads us to hope
she may have something saved up.
Every young man secretly hopes
to see the day when the masculine
styles change to something that
won't make him look so ashamed of
himself.
Over in the Hungarian Diet, the
spectators in the gallery frequently
take shots at the speakers on the
floor. Perhaps our own Congress-
ional Record could be livened up a
little with (fusillade from the Re-
publican side), interrupted by
hand grenade from the balcony
interspersed here and there through
the deliberations, with each speech
ending (The gentleman from Texas
then yielded the floor, as the am.
bulance was waiting).

Silaqe For Dairy Bulls.

There has been some disagreement
among dairymen relative to the effect
of feeding silage to bulls in service. 1t
is generally agreed, however, that feed
ing large quantities of silage does have
detrimental effect in making the bull
sluggish and lowering his worth as a
breeder. We advise therefore that not
more than ten to fifteen pounds be fed
per day.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Temperature of Milk For Calves,

Under natural conditions milk con
sumed by the young calf has tenn
perature of approximately 100 degrees.
1t has been found by experience that a
slight variation from this temperature
may cause indigestion. Especially i
this true with calves under two months
of age. The chief point is uniformity
in the temperature of the milk at all
times.

Jewelry and Eggs

When you buy a dozen Eggs you
rely upon the merchant to sell you
good eggs. Eggs that will not "go
bad" after you get them home.
Likewise when you buy jewelry
you rely upon your Jeweler to sell
you good Jewelry, Jewelry that
will not "go bad" after it leaves
the store.
Our reputation rests with the
quality of our goods. We cannot
afford to sell anything but depend
able merchandise.

EXCHANGES

Considering how much of his
breakfast porridge a baby can get
on his outside compared to how
little he gets inside, childhood lasts
very short time.

BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS

No county in Idaho will escape
road bonds after this year by SIM
ply voting against them at home.
Down in Boise the legislature is
working on highway bond of
$1,000,000. This was recommend
ed by the state highway commits
sion, and all information coming
up from Boise is to the effect that
it will go through.
This bond, principal and inter-
est,-will be paid by the whole
state. Latah county will pay her
full share in proportion to the as
sessed valuation of her property.
There is this other point to con-
slider also. The proceeds of this
100000 state bonds issue will be
expended in the counties where
state highways are under construc-
ton. The counties that have no
state highways will get no part of
the state fund. The federal gov
eminent is operating on the same
principle-its great highway fund
is to be spent in the states that put
up dollar for dollar.
Both state and nation seem to
have adopted the motto:-"The
Lord helps them who help them
selves. Post.
The state Legislature is jogging
along as usual. Nothing of a start
ling nature has occurred in the past
week. The appropriation bills are
rounding into shape and to all APP
pearances our educational institu-
lions will be we'll provided for as
well as all other departments of
the public service. The Struthers
bill abolishing Primaries in towns,
villages and cities and allowing the
voters to choose their candidates
through conventions. met with nc
opposition in the lower House. II
was a step in the right direction.
With the many suffrage victories
that have come in the last few
months it is difficult to keep the
suffrage map up to date. By the
latest victory in North Dakots
70,837 square miles have been add
ed to the 1.796,213 square mile.
over which the suffrage flag already
flies as well as five more electora
votes. The North Dakota womer
feel that full suffrage is coming
very soon for them. because of tn,
progressive spirit the men hav,
shown in this short Campaign.
