Bumn ON the Nose

Coach J. Fred Boiler of the College
five has something of an alibi in the
fact that Sorenson, his captain, and
a performer of unquestioned ability
received a sad battering of the nasal
appendage in collision with Ernest
Lindley late in the first period and
left the floor soon after the start
of the second half. 1t is distinctly
improbable, however, that even Soren-
son could have given pause to the
rush with which Coach Edmundson's
charges opened the final period.
AlI-Star Cast
The selection of an Idaho star is a
difficult task. None Of the varsity
basketeers shone in the first half, each
performed after the all-nOrthwest
fashion in the final period. Elra
Hunter, who shot six field goals and
Gagged 13 free throws, should per-
haps receive the laurel if any wreaths
are bestowed.
Hard Fought Game
Haupt and McIvor, forwards and,
until the time he was taken out, Cap
tain Sorenson, were the luminants
of the visiting aggregation.
The contest was unusually fast and
viciously contested from start to fin
ale. Long shots were the rule rather
than the exception and both teams
passed admirably.
Coach Edmundson has ordered a
complete lay-off for his men until
Wednesday. The next Idaho games
are with Whitman at Walla Walla,
February Is and 16.

MRS. DEER's SICKNESS.
- MNpY GpAHAM BONNER

Poor Mrs. Deer was SICK. She was
certainly a very sick animal and her
large eyes. looked at the keeper as
though TO say:
Il feel so badly, feel as though /
were going to die. And / don't want
to die, keeper, for the world is such
a beautiful place. The sun shines,
the rain cools 1t off, the snow looks
soft and white and beautiful when the
winter is here and the trees are al
most always lovely.
in the spring they burst into
bloom, in the summer time they are
full and green, in the autumn they are
of various colors and In the winter
they are often covered with soft
blankets of white snow.
"And there are the trees of the
forests, the dark pines and spruces
and elms. They are always beautiful.
Oh, keeper, the world is very beau
tiful place and want to live so very
much
Now Mrs. Deer was very nervous
for all of the deer family are extreme
ly nervous and timid. They are nat
uraI-y rather delicate too in most
cases.
Il am afraid" said the keeper, as
he saw Mrs. Deer linping about most
painfully, 'that you have sprained or
strained your knee joint or maybe your
ankle"
Poor Mrs. Deer wanted to be made
well and yet she was afraid to be cap
tured by the keeper. Now the keep
er did not want to brighten Mrs. Deer
and he understood just how she felt.
She was certainly in a great deal of
pain and yet she dreaded being at
tended to for she knew that often
meant so much more pain.

keeper, "for if / hurry her and fright

changed the land situation. One of the features
of this plan is that holders aided in improv-
ing and cutivating the farm. In a word, there
is organized community development.
Its beneficial results have been well described
by the Canadian commission which was ap
pointed to investigate its results in New Zealand
There the commission reported, the farmers mao
built better houses or remodeled their old Ones
brought a larger acreage of land under cultiva-
ton that would otherwise have remained
lying idle; had bought and urged more labor-sav-
ing machinery the farms and in the houses.
They kept more sheep and pigs and had so large
ly increased the revenue from their farms that
they able TO meet the payments the
mortgages and to adopt higher standard OF
living and better one. Throughout the country
a higher and better civilization was being
evolved; the young men and women who were
growing up were happy and contented to re-
main at home on the farm and found ample time
and opportunity for recreation and entertainment
of kind more wholesome and elevating than can
be obtained in the cities
1t may be said that this country, outside of
Alaska, has no frontier today. OF course, Alaska
will still offer opportunity for pioneer life. And,
of course, Alaska likewise has yet unknown. re-
markable agricultural possibilities but unless we
make possible the development of this land by
the men who desire life in that field we will lose
great national opportunity. Furthermore, this
is an immediate duty. 1t will be too late for
these things when the war is over, and the work
of definite planning should be done now.
The plan outlined by Secretary Lane does not
contemplate anything like charity to the soldiers
He is not to be given bounty. lie is not to be
made to feel that he is dependent. On the
contrary, he is to continue, in a sense in the
service of the government Instead of destroying
our enemies, he is to develop our resources.
The work that is to be done, other than the
planning, should be done by the soldier himself
The dam or irrigation project should be built by
him; the canals ditches the breaking of the
land, and the building of the houses should, I'm.
der proper direction, be his occupation. He
should be allowed to make his Home cared
for while he is doing it, and given interest in
the land, for which he can pay through long
period of years-perhaps 80 or 40 years.
The farms should not be turned over as the
prairies were-unbroken unfenced without ac-
commodations for men or animals. There should
be prepared homes, all of which can be construct.

Then she will have a terrible case of
nervous fright in addition to the pain
which is making her limp"
And indeed the keeper was very pd-
tent He waited long, long time be-
fore the deer would let him take her
gently, not forcing her to come to
him.
"Well, Mrs. Deer we must see what
is the matter with .you," the keeper
said, and then the zoo doctor came
along. The keeper had sent for him.
He had been around several times be-
fore, but the keeper had sent him
away, saying:
"Stay around but not too near. We
mustn't brighten Mrs. Deer, for she
has enough pain without being made
dreadfuliy nervous. We must be pa
tent" And sthe zoo doctor had
agreed with the keeper.
Mrs. Deer turned her eyes upon the
keeper, now that she was being stroked
by him, just as she had looked at him
before he had caught her.
And once again it seemed as if she
were saying: II want to live, keeper,
the world is such a beautiful place."
The keeper stroked her and soothed
her and said:
There, there, Mrs. Deer, you'll be
all well soon. All well soon."
Then the doctor looked at Mrs.
Deer and he examined the place where
| the pain seemed to be.
"Dear me-" said the doctor, ''you
mustn't worry, Mrs. Deer. You have
rheumatism which is making you stiff
and sore, but there are no broken
bones and no fractured joints"
| Mrs. Deer didn't just know what all
these things were but she knew from
the doctors voice that everything was
going well and that she would soon
| be about again.
EYES," said the doctor, ''you took
rheumatism. But you'll be all right
in a day or so.
'You simply need little liniment
on your sore knee joint"
So the deer had liniment put upon
her knee joint. She didn't just know
what liniment was, but she knew that
something warm and soothing and
comforting was being put on her
knee and it was being rubbed in. 1t
was poured out of bottle and oh, it
/ did make so much difference after it
| had been rubbed on her knee joint.
you're going to be as well as ever
in day or So" said the keeper joy
fully. and Mrs. Deer, feeling already
so much better, looked at the keeper,
with tears of joy in her big eyes, and
said in deer language: THANK you,
thank you so much !"

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop on
of sight and are soon forgotten? Tine
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know OF
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that so many people claim, 1t fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur.
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address

A newly drafted negro who had
been in camp only a week entered the
orderly room and asked the captain
for three-day leave. His reason for
making the request being sufficiently
good, he was given his pass. Just as
he left the room he saluted the cap.

The captain didn't intend to let
such Il mistake pass unnoticed, so
called the negro back, saying: John.

In support OF the proposed change
in each case the chief argument adj
vanced is that it would place the re-
gion TO be transferred in the state
with which il is most closely allied in
interests. Most of the business OF Pen
Sacola, the leading city of west Flor
ida. is with Alabama, and if it were
part of that state its importance
would doubtless be heightened. 1t is
