The body was brought to Rath-
drum where the family resides,
arriving about $3.50 in the evening.

The Betrayal of Russia.
(Statesm any,

History records few parallels to
Germany's complete conquest OF
Russia, and history records no
incident equal in melodrama or in
tragedy to the elevation, IN little
more than year, of Lenine and
Trotzky from soap box orators and
SIS week newspaper reporters IN
New .York's east side, to positions
which have made possible the dis
integration and betrayal OF nation
of 200, 900, COO people.
Whether we like it or not, we
must admit that Germany IS now
busy remaking the map oil central
and eastern Europe to conform
with her own desires. The fact
that she is pretending to have
some regard for the principle OF
nationalities must not blind US to
the fact that this is, only pretensc,
and that her sole concern IS Ger
many and German domination.

Mixed Flours.

Mixed fours containing less than
so per cent of wheat -four may be sold
without substitutes according To
statement by the Uoited States food
administration.
Special rules governing the sales OF
other mixed hours have been promul-

person unless the amount OF wheat

make the total amount of such
substitutes, including those In mixed

wheat flour in the mixed -four.
For instance, IL any mixed flour is
purchased containing go per cent

PUNCH BOARD LAW
Use Of Tobacco by Minors
Also Illegal In Idaho.

Boise, Idaho.-The operation Of a |
punch board 10 Idaho is violation |
of the lottery statute, said the |
attorney generals office In an opinion |
handed down Thursday to j. P. Reed,
prosecuting attorney in Gem county.
Mr.. Reed also asked the attorney
general II minors could be prohibited
from using tobacco.
He was advised that IL is unlawful
for boys under the age of Is TO use
the weed. but because OF the wording
10 the title to the act in chapter l47
OF the 1911 session laws. the attorney
generals office refused TO say that
minors over that age could be
prevented by law from indulglng 10
| the use of tobacco.
THE title attempts to restrict the
effect of the law to persons under 10
years of age. while the body of the
act provides that every minor Is
prohibited from using tobacco" MT.
Reed was told. 1--WE are inclined to
think the act constitutional. > Con-
tinuing, the attorney general said:
"We are inclined TO think the
supreme court would uphold the
statute In the full scope indicated In
the body of the act"
OF the punch board the attorney
general told Mr.. Reed:
1.-THE question is often raised as u
whether the giving of some article u
merchandise 10 return for the none,
paid for each punch or chance
would render the use OF the boart
lawful. AS a matter Of fact an
inclined to think it is invariably tru
, that an equivalent in merchandise
not given for the money spent
However that may be, the court
. generally hold that the statut
q includes the act of giving away
J prize on a chance. In my opinion
i therefore. the operation of the pune
/ board is violation Of the l0tteI
