Feather Convicted Thief.

A green feather decided q curious
case at Bishop, Auckland, Australia,
recently. A man was charged with the
.heft OF a canary, but declared that
Ne had bought the bird. In the course
1f evidence it was stated the prose-
.utor's bird had q green feather. Ex-
animation failed to uncover a green
feather on the bird In question. but 1t
was pointed out that 1t might have
been plucked. Accordingly the case
was adjourned to see If the feather
would grow again. The bird was hand
ed to the care of a well-known fancler,
and each party agreed that the case
should be decided on whether the
feather grew or not. A few days later
the fancicr produced the bird, and it
was observed that the dark green
feather had grown again. Defendant
was then fined five dollars and costs.

The Government Needs
Locust Wood.

A letter to the U. S. Shipping Boar d
tells of the great need for locust wood.
From 20,(0) to 10000 locust nails
are used in each ship. The Govern
ment does not ask you to sacrifice
all your shade trees but to sell those
you can spare, and there is scarcely
grove in town or county but would be
benefited by thinning out. This COM
munity will do its part in meeting this
need of the Government. $500
stumpage per cord will be paid for
the wood.

and C. H. Murehead, Manager of
the Wanatchee Rex Spray Co., in
.roEpany with Mr.. F. E Seeley, have
1sen inspecting the prospects for a
fruit crop in this locality and it IS
their opinion that the fruit growers
should by all m Nans spray for the
codling moth. In many cases where
the grower sanms to think the frcSt
has killed the fruit, these gsntle--
men have found sufficient amount
OF fruit to well justify spraying, ami
as the season advances the pr s.
rects will coptinne to look better.
and iif the first spray is neglected.
it will then be too late TO control
the pests as it should be hone. Mr..
Devise has prepared lengthy ar
ticle ON the fruit conditions ami
methods Of controlling pests which
owing to lack Of space will not ap-
pear until next week.

POULTRY TUBERCULOSIS

The County Agricultural Agent re-
ports that he finds more CT less
tuberculosis among the farm flocks
and gives herewith the symptoms
for the benefit Of the ranchers who
care to know.
Avian tuberculosis.
tuberculosis OF poultry IS a seri-
Gus disease in some countries. Poul-
try usually contract tuberculosis by
contact with tubercular bird. and
not from other domestic animals and
man. The symptoms are of a gen.
eral character, such as emaeiation,
weakness, wasting q muscles and
lameness. Tubercular growths may ap
pear on the surface of the body.
II We suspect the presence Of the
disease, it lis advisable to kill one
of the sick birds and make care
ful post-mortem examination The
finding of yellowish, white, cheesy
nodaies or masses IN the liver, spleen
intestines and mesenteri.s is strong
evidence OF tuberculosis. A bacterio-
logical examination OF the tissues
may, be necessary in order to con-
sirm the diagnosis.
The same method of treatment as
recommended in tuberculosis O. 9th RI
domestic animals may be rsed nj
the disease from the
premises and flock. This consists in |
killing and cremating all birds show
ing visible symptoms, moving the
healthy portion OF the
flock to new quarters and wiping the
eggs with alcohol The old quarters
should be cleaned, disin ected. and
then allowed to stand empty for sew
eral months, when We should again
spray with a disi1 eCtant, and scat
ter lime over the runs. If the clean
ng and disinf Getting have been thor
ough, We may safely turn young or
healthy birds into the old quarters.
All possible precautions against carry
ng the infection to the healthy
lock must be observed"

RED CROSS DRIVE
STARTS MONDAY

Next Monday will be the begin
ming of the big Red Cross drive.
Don't think because you payed into
the Red Cross last month that you
should not help now. You paid your
taxes last year, and you will have
to pay next year. Our soldier boys
fought last month and will have to
fight next month. And as long as
they have to fight we will have to
pay. We must expect one drive after
another until the war is ended. The
soldiers give up everything and are
making this war their business, and '
we must make it our business. The
part that We arc doing is small be-
side what they are doing, yet it is
just as essential. Payette County
went over the top in one day with
the third ltSsrty loan and then some.
Let US do as well for the Red Gross.

HELP THE
RED CROSS

The American Red Cross is being
hamperfd more by German propagan-
da than any other war activity. 1t
/ is being told that sweaters, socks
and other articlfs made by the Rel
Cross are sold to the soldiers at
twice their value. 1t is also report
ed that the money paid INTO the
Red Cross fund is being grated and
not used for what it was intended
and many other false reports which
are absolutely without foIndaticn.
The American Red Cross Is the most
thoroughly organized body in the
world today. and every single dol
lar contributed to this fund is used
TO the very best advantage. Every
article made by this organization
reaches the soldiers without cost to
them. Hundreds of men and women
are giving their entire time to this
noble cause without any compensa-
ton whatever. And when you give
to the Red Cross you are simply giy-l
ing your bit to assist others who
are giving all of their tine. 1t is
reported that fat salaries are being
paid TO the workers in this cause
when tho real truth is, all over the /
United States these workers are Civ
ing their service. This is also the
case in the Idaho State Red Cross
headquarters. No officisl re elves a
cent for service. Rent is furnish d
free.
The Government is asking for one
hundred million dollars to be sub
scribed to the American Red Cross.
