MOSCOW CHURCHES
RESPOND MOLLY
PRESENT SPLENDID NUCLEUS
FOR ARMY Y. NJ. c. A.
FUND

Moscow churches responded nobly
to the call for support for the Army
Y. M. C. A. The neat sum of $435.26
was contributed to the required So
900 1000 fund last Sunday.
Dean Eldridge reports $93 sub
scribed in addition to this by few
of the merchants of Moscow, and
Southwick came forward nobly with
s51.90 in response to personal ap-
peal by Dean Eldridge.
This makes total of $5S0.16 sub
scribed thus far in this district, NO.
%, and it is hoped to double the sum
thus far subscribed. This is not a
church affair, Dean Eldridge insists,
but a matter that must appeal to all
who are interested in decent man
hood.
All of churches had not yet report
ed when the statement was made UP
today, and there are still others at
work from whom good reports are
anticipated.

Money the Cheapest Thing

Gooding farmers are paying as high
as $65 and SIS per month for farm
hands, but they feel that they can
afford to do it, as they are able at
this time to contract their hay at $40
per ton, potatoes at $1.5ci. to 50 and
wheat at $3.50. From all indications
money will be the most plentiful and
cheapest commodity on the market
next fall.-Gooding Leader.

ROUND UP PLOTTERS IN ITALY

prison at Rome.
What has never been disclosed I'M
| til to-day is the fact that warrant
for their release was signed by the
Project of all the Italian police him
self, and that each of the criminals
was later given $4,000 by the Ital-
ian government. The service they
rendered the government proved well
worth the price. N
For more than two years the Ital-
ian secret service, extending it's re-
search over a far greater ground than
one realizes even to-day, had succeed
ed in tracing certain pro-German plots
and intrigue in Italy to Vienna. In
the Austrian capital, spies succeeded
in narrowing down to certain house,
adjoining "but having no connection
with" the German embassy.
Take Their Time.
Had they acted hastily, the spies
might have bungled the house, robbed
the safe, and even laid hands on a
certain set of precious papers the
Italian government was keenIy inter
ested in. But that is as far as they
would have gotten. For attached to
the bundle of documents so highly de
sired by three governments was an
intricate set of wires. With almost
devilish ingenuity the Germans had
provided that if the safe were opened
and the papers moved, a cloud of poi
son gas, deadly in effect, would en-
velop the disturber and render the en-
tire room in which the safe was To-
Gated uninhabitable. At the same
time a cleverly devised burglar alarm
would call sufficient military volice
to the scene to deal with any number
of intruders
When every detail of the hiding
place of the papers had been learned,
the secret service agents reported in
detail in Rome. On favorable dark

EASY REMEDY FOR CURE
OF CLOVER BLOAT IN COWS
DR.. f. Il. Baker Recommends Simple
and inexpensive Treatment for
Common Trouble.

For clover or grass bloat in COWS
Dr. E. T. Baker, the veterinarian, rec
ommends one tablespoonful of formal
dehyde given in water. This, he says,
is the latest and best known remedy.
Keep the animal moving about, too,
while under treatment. "In no case,
says DR.. Baker; "give soda. A dose
of soda at such a time will transform
a COW into a Zeppelin-it will cause
her to swell up and blow away"
