DISEASE SPREAD BY ANIMALS
Scientists and Physicians Have Pre-.
pared a Strong Indictment
Against the Beasts.

Although animals are not affected
by the sickness and communicable dis.
eases of man, yet, for some unexplain-
able reason, the scientists and physi-
clans declare that whole host of
ofttimes fatal ailments of mankind are
traceable to the beasts, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The horse is blamed for spreading
CHAMBERS, rabies, lockjaw and other dis
eases Of five or more syllables. Dogs
and cats are branded as the circula-
tors of rabies, parasitic worms of diff
ferent kinds, fleas and ticks.
The COW is the worst offender. The
list of diseases laid at her barn door
is headed with tuberculosis and grows
constantly more blood-curdling, until
we wonder why physicians and scien-
lists consent to the use of milk, butter
and cheese which still lead the dieti-
tians' list of nutritives.
Rats, squirrels and fleas spread the
bubonic plague. We are prepared to
believe that lice and bedbugs, flies and
mosquitoes are the rapid transit lines
for yellow fever and malaria. We are
willing to forego the luscious oyster
all the year around, if need be, to
avoid typhoid fever.

First Irish Coaching Company.

In 1915, an Italian, named Bianconi
started the first coaching company IN
Ireland, running long cars over vari.
Gus regular routes. Long cars Soon
became the safest and most reliable
means of travelling over Ireland, and
Bianconi turned rich and prosperous
Writing in or about 1912, Mr. and Mrs.
Hall, who have written much of Ire
land, tell us that persons of the high
est responsibility" used the long cars
for travelling. At this time, although
these cars passed through 12S towns,
they had not made their way into the
north of Ireland. The cars varied con-
siderably in size, requiring from one to
four horses. The fare, even over the
rockiest roads in the West, was two
pence farthing mile. The Halls care
fully explain that passengers were pro-
vided with "dry and comfortable horse
hair cushions and aprons" and that, In
wet weather, the long cars never jour-
neyed more than two stages without
changing the cushions.

LABOR

We have in Idaho, citizens and
aliens-some subject to draft, others
who are not-who are unwilling to
work for any stipulated figure if
they thought their refusal to work
would force the payment of a higher
wage.
Idaho has arranged a wage scale
which is as high or higher than that
paid by any other state in the [
lon for like agricultural labor. That
scale has been approved by the State
Council of Defense as just and reason
able. All our popers published in the
state have been provided with that
wage scale. We now most respectful
ly ask all our papers to publish that
wage scale in every issue of their
paper for the benefit of their read
ers for period sufficiently long that
all their patrons may become fully al
quainted with it. 1t is in condensed
form as follows:
For harvest hands, 800 for a
day Of ten hours with board. and
maximum OF 45c an hour for over,
time. Monthly wage. 5000 with
board; or for married men who board
themselves, $4,000 a month with
suitable housing. For Expert irri--
gators, $500 month and board.
We respectfully ask all farmers
employing help to abide by that
scale that there may be no compe- {
titiva bidding against fellow farmers,

FAiR PLAY ABOVE VICTORY
Canadian Soldier Generous in Seeing
That Opponent Should Have His
Right Chance to Shoot.

In an obscure Los Angeles suburb
lives a blind man. The following is
( one Of the many stories he tells of his
experiences:
! 1t was in the early nineties that a
picked team of American riflemen
had gone into Canada for a friendly
contest with the Queens Own.
The competition had been fierce and
the score close when the last American
rifleman laid down at 800 yards. He
had to make % to tie and "a to win
out of a possible %.
A great crowd had gathered to watch
the contest, and had gradually closed
in behind the firing station until there
was very little space left for The rifle
man.
The first four shots scored the bulls
eye, counting 20. With his last shot
he had to make a 3 to tie and q to
win. The excitement was intense,
and the air was charged with the
magnetic stiffness of repressed excite
ment as the commanding officer of
the Queens Own stepped forward and
called out "Get back there and give
the man a fair show. How can he
shoot with you standing on top Of
him?"
The crowd fell back, the American
fired, and the Indicator recorded an
other bulls eye, making his score %.

A[LEGED GERMAN
 SPIES JAILED BY
 FEDERAL OFFICERS
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

BALTIMORE, Jan. 15.-Lieutenant Walter Spoermann, charged with be- ing a German spy, arrested near Nor folk last week, was brought to Balti- more today. He Was rushed to the United States marshars office and thence to jail
 Two hours prior to his arrival. his brother, Frederick H. C. Spoermann, was sent to jail also.
 Another man, Marius Aarsch, of this city, was arrested today, and rumors were existant that other suspects were being bagged.
 Arsch, it developed, held papers be- longing to Spoermann. He volunteered the information to the police. The pa pers were seized, but little of import was discovered in them. Arsch ex- plained he had been acquainted with Spoermann for some time, and that Spoermann temporarily left a suitcase ] containing the papers for him to keep There is much secrecy among gov ernment officials as to the number of persons arrested in the case though reports indicate seven or eight are in custody.
 | The woman whose friedship for w. | Spoermann led to his apprehension at Norfolk, is not under arrest. tt was 1 through Spoermann's fascination for her that he was traced from Baltimore to Washington and finally located in | Newport News.
 Interception of mail to the woman resulted in finding him in the employ of a construction contractor at Lang ley aviation field near Norfolk. This was two weeks ago.
 An enemy alien permit was issued to Spoermann several months ago and the record showed he had come to America with his brother, Frederick, in 1910.
 These statements, so far as could be ascertained, were never verified by federal agents. Papers seized in his rooms in Baltimore last week, along with those indicating dealings with Bernstorff and Boy-Ed indicate that he had reported for service" in Ger many after the war began in August, 1 1914
 This would apparently dispute Spoermann statements on his alien record in 1910, except that he could have returned to Germany surrepti- tiously, reported for service there and later re-entered the United States without detection.

CHICAGO. Jan. 15.-With thousands of workers idle and industries facing paralysis, the force of the federal fuel administration is directed toward re- lief of the fuel famine in the storm swept districts of the central west.
 A, TndianapGHs all theaters, saloons, pool rooms and similar places, were or dered closed
 In Michigan, w. K. Prudden, state fuel administrator, declared that there is less than 800 tons of available coal In the state outside of Detroit. He issued an order limiting sharply the hours during which places of business may be heated. Theaters and moving pictures houses will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays On other days they are allowed open five hours. All bars and cafes must close at 10 p. m.
 Kansas city reported only a limited amount of fuel available with the au- thorities taking every precaution to conserve that. Ward schools are closed and most churches are holding no night services An embargo is placed on shipments of coal from Kansas into Missouri and vice versa. No coal de- liveries are made to theaters, pool hall and saloons.
 In St. Louis, Mo, preparations are being made to curtail less important industries.
 One steel mill at Granite City, H.. has been closed because of lack of fuel.
 At Omaha railway officials declare the coal supply will be normal within four days except in case of another storm blockade. Wyoming and Colo rado are said to be furnishing coal to Nebraska. Des Moines reported con- ditions were normal and that there was 41o shortage. Lincoln, Neb., re- ported no serious coal shortage in its district.
 In Kansas railways have been given instructions to run solid coal trains if necessary to relieve shortage and coal Is to be handled ahead of all other commodities. Fuel shipments are de- iayed because many railways are not operating freight trains owing to last weeks storm.
 From the northwest no suffering was reported.
 In Chicago, Fuel Administrator Dur ham said that the situation will be more critical in five or six days than at present.

 Soon the periscope of the submarine came to the surface, 800 yards away. The U-boat approached an American sailor struggling in the water and four Germans dragged the man aboard The submarine then headed off. Commander Bagley told the story of his experiences from the time the sub- marine disappeared.

 Mcdonald, who was United States marshal for northern Texas, was famed for his control over most desperate characters of the Mexican border and Texas.

 In 1887 Mcdonald was appointed deputy United States marshal for the northern district of Texas. Through out his career Mcdonald isolated himself from politics and his subse- quent appointments were admitted by all to be the rewards of untiring zeal in his duties as marshal ana Texas Ranger.
 During his career Mcdonald was identified with many of the most sensational and romantic crime cases of which the southern border then abounded.
