PUBLIC SERVICE BUNK
The Tooth Extracting and Smoke
Consuming Department in the
City Hall Makes People
Laugh.

Why doesn't the alleged city de.
partment of Public Service get after
the fraudulent weighing machines,
with which the city is infested?
Can you guess why it doesn't?
There are 1O2,641 of these machines
scattered all over the city on city
sidewalks.
It is safe to say that 100000 Of them
are out of order most of the time.
They yield an immense revenue, as
each patron is obliged to give UP one
cent for the privilege of finding out
how much he does not weigh.
Another fraud on the public is the
counterfeit gum vending cent.in-the
slot machine, which in the majority OF
cases, takes the cent but yields no
gum.
Why is II that the City Department
of Public Service permits these frauds
| to exist?

PUBLIC SERVICE
ERRORS
Too Many of Them to Suit the
Public.

If the City Department of Public
Service ever gets through sharpening
street signs placed at intersections.
Hundreds of them are misspelled.
Many of them are misleading.
South Wells street at 51st street Is
still named on the sign at that cor
ner, s. 9Th avenue.
Sedgwick street is misspelled
Sedgewick street on all signs.
Tooker place, called after DR..
Tooker, the Chicago inventor Of the
Keyless fire alarm box, is misspelled
Tucker place.
And so It goes all over the city.
Inspecting smokes Is evidently
easier than inspecting some kinds Of
public utilities.

mJonah" Words.

Nearly everyone has some special
word which he mispronOunces. Have
you? The writer always tries to avoid
the word ''plebeian," through an alb
surd desire to put the accent on the
last syllable, as in ''plebiscite." A
laugh went round a room once when
a young man referred to a ships ''bO,"
and a woman debating came to grief
over the word "epitome," to which she
gave but three syllables instead of its
rightful four. But how about the gov
erness who told her little pupils all
about the "aborijeens" of Australia?
The writer was one of the little pu-
pills, and it made an indelible impress
sion. "Jejune" is always tricky. CAS-
pirant' is worrying, too, until you learn
that the accent may be on the first or
second syllable. OF course, you know
how to pronounce Macpherson, Mac
kenzles and machinery. Perhaps the
last word caught you mapping, though
unless you are too old bird Am.

who has been pastor of the local

Contains Map of Selway County

A school history of Idaho, adop-
ed by the state board of education
for general use in the public
schools of the state, contains a
map of the state of Idaho, on
which is shown Selway county.
The supposed Selway county, as
indicated by the map, is formed
from the northern part of Idaho
county, and includes the towns of
Kooskia, Sites and Harpster.
Kooskia is indicated as the county
seat of the county. Several years
ago agitation for the creation Of
Selway county was manifest, and
the compiler of the history decid-
ed Selway county should be
shown on the map. Critics point
out if other data in the history
is as inaccurate as is the map, the
history would be practically
worthless as a text in Idaho schools.
The history will be used in the
public schools of the county. 1t
is written by G. J. Brosnan, sup
erintendent of schools at Nampa.

Freedom of World has Most
Thrilling Scene Ever a
Camera "Shot"

The most astounding scene ever
filmed for motion picture, is in
For the Freedom of the World"
which will be the attraction at the
Orpheum Theatre Sunday, Febru-
airy 9th for 25c and 35c.
1t comes as climax to a soul
stirring story of war and love with
the great world conflict now rag
ing as the background. The
young and beautiful wife of an
officer of the American Legion of
the Canadian expeditionary fore
es, violating an iron-clad rule Of
the War office, DISCUSSES herself as
a nurse and goes to visit her hus-
band at the front. Through the
Vaccinations of a cowardly Off
Ger, once a sutton for her hand,
her presence and her husbands
knowledge of it is exposed.
Husband and wife are arrested
and ordered before a court martial
with the knowledge that their
trial can result in nothing short Of
the verdict prescribed for every
such violation of the regulations
death before a firing squad.
Rather than see his bride suffer
such a fate her husband shoots
her with his service revolver, and
she falls at his feet breathing her
gratitude with Thank you, my
husband"
Motion picture critics who have
seen advance showings of For
the Freedom of the World" are
unanimous in proclaiming this the
most thrilling moment they have
ever seen in films.

BUREAU TO help 4
COUNTY HEALTH WORK

Because of the desire among
a number OF counties to maintain
efficient, full-timc Health Officers
the Kentucky State Board OF
Health has created Bureau of
County Health Work, whose &C
tiyities will be solely devoted to
assisting in financing and pro-
noting the work of such repart-
ments.
DIR. P. w. Covington, of the
International Health Board, has
been loaned to the State for the
purpose of assuming the Di-
rectorship of the Bureau.
In the beginning a large part
of his time will be devoted tc
assisting county health authori-
ties in organizing full-time health
departments.
DIR, Covington brings to the
State, wide experience in such
work, having spent the last ten
years in organizing county health
departments throughout the
South, as well as in some of the

Who Wrote 1t?

Says Tom Underwood in the Hop
kinsville New Era:
At this season of the year, the
newspapers all over the country
resurrect a bit of verse:
"The naked hills lie wanton to the
breeze,
The fields are nude, the groves UNI
frocked.
Bare are the limbs of shameless trees
No wonder that the corn is shocked
Usually they credit it to our ole
friend canon" or Exchange" Lately
the authorship is being ascribed t.
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A new light on it's origin is thrown
by the editor of the Nashville Ban
ner, who says it came under his oh,
servation in manuscript form abou
1905. "The story related as to it.
origin then, as memory only serves
was that it was written by yount
lady at Cadiz, KY, who sent it Il
Harper G Bros, New York; that i
was accepted and paid for literally
but whether or not it had ever beer

to the editor, was not able to say
The Banner would be glad to know

COUNTRY FOLKS EAT
PORK And POULTRY

More pork and poultry are con-
stunned per capita in the county
than in urban communities, while
denizens OF the cities eat more
beef, veal and mutton than
dwelcrs in the rural districts, ac-
cording to a report made by the
Department of Agriculture. This
is announced as the first adequate
information ever obtained on this
subject. !
The total consumption OF m9'
per capita is . per cent greater
in the country than in the citS
and the excess is observable il
varying degrees in the various
conventional geographic divisions.
Consumption Of beef alone is
nearly two-thirds greater i'll the
cities than in the country: In
respect to veal and mutton also
the consumption per capita is
greater among the urban popula-
ton than in rural communities

REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING

All meats are expensive, there nat
urally is still a need for the practice
of economy in the preparation of meat
dishes in the average household.
Recognizing this fact and to furth
er help an important industry, the
International Live Stock Exposition
engaged the services of some of the
foremost instructors in Home Eco
Monies" for this years event, who will
give daily demonstrations in one Of
the main halls Of the International
Amphitheatre during the first week in
December, teaching how the cheaper
cuts of beef, pork, and mutton may be
made as palatablc and nutritious as
the higher priced roasts and steaks
BY the application of conservation
along these lines, the cost of living
may, without imposing inconvenience
or hardship, be not only materially
reduced, but the American house
wives can also, thereby, alleviate the
needs OF our fellow bings across the
Atlantic. "Better meals at reduced
cost is a problem squarely up to
those who prepare the food in the
American homes. These experts dem
onstiatorS further give valuable hlnts
on food combinations, which, il
adopted, will serve to improve the
health, happiness and welfare of our
people. 1t is merely a matter OF
knowing how, and these demonstra-
tions are so arranged that the visit
ing women may learn and absorb
these lessons without missing othel
