Amusing Trick Is Simple.

One of the most amusing tricks In
fireworks is the serpeRt's egg trick,
where little pellet when lighted turns
into a horrible snake, many. many
times the size OF the pellet. How
awe-inspiring 1t is to the youngsteri
Most people have no idea what in the
world causes the snake to appear. The
explanation is simple. Mercury sui
pho-cyanid burns with a voiumino,
ash. The little pellet is nothing more
than some mercury sulpho-cyanid.
The heat causes the ash to move of
so quickly from the burning pellet that
it writhes and distorts itself into the
shape of miniature snake.

A well-known society performer vol
unteered to entrain a roomful Of the
Colney Hatch lunatic asylum and

audience in the main gave symptoms
of being slightly bored, but one high
ly intelligent maniac saw the whole
thing iR proper light and, clapping
the talented actor on the shoulder,
said:

The Social Fabric.

To uphold the social system women
submit to uncounted tests of their con-
stancy. They endure physical discom-
fort, ennui, the peril of cold drafts and
damp places, hours of WEAKNESS and
moments Of acute annoyance for the
sake of what, to man, is an unim-
portant social matter. And even
though at times she feels that it would
matter little if the whole social scheme
of things should perish--and that In
stantly with fire and bloodshed il need
be-rather than require so much OF
her, she stands to her colors.

OVER THE TOP

Lincoln county has gone far over the
top in the subscriptions to the third
liberty loan. 1t did more than that. It
was the first county in Idaho to GO
over the top. And one of the most
satisfactory features of the result is
that these subscriptions represent prac-
tically every family in the county and
the entire subscription including sever
al thousand dollars more than the
allotment for the county does not in
clude single dollar of bank subscrip-
tions. Eberybody subscribed Hun
dreds of citizens hunted up the COM
mitteemen to volunteer their subscrip-
tions.
The ladies of the county take great
pride in their work in this campaign.
1t is the first time the ladies have been
asked to help in the sale of liberty
bonds and their record this time is
to their earnestness and ac
tivity. Mrs. Gilbert White. as County
Chairman organized a campaign that
brought results. In Shoshone alone the
ladies' secured ten thousand dollars.

ANNOUNCING PRIZES

Twice recently the Journal has had
to refuse the request to announce the
result of raffles held in town. Here is
synopsis Of the I. s. anti-lottery law
which explains our reason.
Sec. 4S2 Of the L. S. Postal law pro-
vides that any newspaper advertising
lottery. or announcing the list Of
prizes drawn, shall be fined up 10 a
thousand dollars and imprisoned FOR
from one 10 five years. It also pro-
vides that the same punishment shall
be given any postmaster or letter car
rier who distributes such newspaper
containing these lists. It also defines
the word lottery as there used to mean
any scheme, General or Local by which
prizes of either money or property or
anything of value shall be distributed
by chance or lot. such as gift enter
prises, concerts, RAFFLES or fairs.
The Journal did not make this law
but it must obey it and so it gives this
synopsis of it that its readers may
understand why it refrains from men
tioning such things in its columns. The
Journal staff might be as we'll off In
Jail as any other place but since the
law also includes Postmaster Noble
and Charlie Mills it is out of considera-
ton for their feelings that we must
insist upon declining to publish such
local items.

BEET 1T

County Agent Avery says that LIN
coin county is doing itself proud in the
sugar beet line this spring. He reports
sss acres contracted in the neighbor-
hood OF Grand View and that a dump
has been assured that section This
cuts out a five or six mile haul for
Grand View farmers. Another 90 acres
of beets will likely be contracted for
at Grand View. Already 800 acres
have been promised at Richfield and
the probabilities are that Lincoln coun-
ty will grow around a thousand acres
of beets this year. Every farmer who
can do so should-BEcT 1T.

REDUCING COST OF ELECTIONS
Commissioners Cut Out Three Precincts

At their session last Monday the
county commissioners decided that in

ing on this plan they cut out Burns,

The voters in these precincts will be
Accommodated as follows. Those from
Burns and Marley will vote at Richfield
All voters in Haddock prcinct who live
