ing an amendment to the state consti-
tuition to give Idaho power to control
and promote the development of I'M
used water power within the state

on the resolution by Representative
Greenwood of MinidOka county. Thir-
ty-five voted for and eleven against.
Owens of Ada switched his vote III

government stands TO lose millions of
dollars by maintaining the guaranteed
wheat price IF $2.26, and the packers
alleged propaganda to the effect that
stockmen had made big money during
the war and stood to lose through a
drop in prices. Representative Jones

affairs of the adjutant generals de-
partment are found in the report of

affairs of that department. Recon-

emergency existed through the nation

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL Harlem
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomacb
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs Of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
uri1ating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the

RODS GIVE NO PROTECTION
French Vine Growers Find They De-
rive No Benefit From Metal
Rods They Erected.

The vine-growing region OF the Gil
ronde. in France, has been quite ex-
tensively equipped In recent years
with tall metal rods. similar TO light
ming rods. known as paragreles or
electric Niagaras," and alleged to af-
ford protection from halstorms. A
careful study of the functioning Of
these rods has receatly been published
by NJ. E. County of the University of
Bordeaux. The statistics presented
show that numerous hailstorms have
occurred in the vicinity of nearly all
the rods. Moreover, according TO Nj.
County. there has been no obvious
change IN the character of these
storms since the erection of the rods.
His article points out some of the
principal reasons for the erroneous
conclusions that others have drawn In
favor of them; for example. the fact
sthat. normally. only one thunderstorm
In five is attended by hail.. that the
area over which hail falls is normally
very small in comparison with that
covered by the thunderstorm and hail
tends to occur in scattered patches or
narrow bands; and lastly. that dis
trict in which hail has fallen for two
or three years in succession often re-

The lie was passed in the legislature
on February u. The clash grew out
Of the county division fight. Charges
CT maintenance of a booze" lobby and

Moore.

of electric light plants, and validating
bonds previously issued for these pur-
poses.

in the senate by J. w. Tylor of Gem
county becomes statutory and its pro
visions are generally accepted.
The senate on February p declined
to accept the biennial report of c. S
Moody, former adjutant general. on
the grounds that it was incomplete as
to draft figures by counties, and, al
though it cost the state over $1,000, 1t
was worthless. The Moody investiga-
ton is still in progress. Clarence Van
deusen, former state auditor, was sub
poenaed and before the committee.
The house went on record on Febru-
airy 81 for a constitutional amendment

making it compulsory to teach all sub
jects in public and private schools in
the state in English.
A lively fight took place in the house
over the defeat of the Nash bill, pro-
posing an enabling act to permit resi-
dents in a portion of Oneida county to
be annexed TO Franklin county. Mon
son of Franklin championed the bill,
declaring all the residents in the ter
ritory were anxious for the anneXa-
ton. Hall of Oneida charged there
was a ''nigger in the wood pile" and
all Franklin county wanted was part
of Oneida county's forest reserve. He
said Oneida county had been cut up
till it had eight children and many
but Franklin, one of
them, had been the hardest kid of
them all TO wean." The bin was de-
feated by a vote of % TO 81.

Think of Yourself.

You cannot reach a high degree or

Perhaps your lack OF success has
been caused by this very feeling that
you desire to make and retain your

You might have improved your po-
sition many times, but you feared the
III feeling engendered In certain cir
cles with your advancement.
There are times In the lives OF all
men when they must each choose be-
tween what is for their own best in
terest and their friends, and this does
not mean that it Is case of taking
advantage OF frfends-merely dis

ness irvolved-perfectly honest and
honorable, and to your financial credit
but what would your friends think

HAS A KICK COMING.

Dr. Larson who Is devoting great
deal of time and energy TO civilian
relief work In this county called at
our office to complain OF the action OF
the Michigan Telephone Co. The
work is all charity work and II was
found necessary TO move the clerk OF
the War Relief Association to the
Red Cross rooms so as to help out
with II. The War Relief had a tele-
phone which was not donated as the
company refused to make a donation
OF the use Of the phone when ap-
preached last year, IL was found me-
cessary to move this phone, and in
order TO have it so moved the sum OF
$500 had to be taken from the suffer
ing soldiers and their families and
paid over TO this corporation. The
action aroused the good doctors wrath
and he told us his story, undoubtedly
with the expectancy that we WOULD
make public the policy OF the company
in these matters.
Publicity doesn't seem to have much
effect upon this organization. II IL
did the character of service which is
being doled out to Crystal Falls peo-
pie would have been changed long
ago.
We don't know how they carried on
communication in the days Of the cave
men, but We feel quite certain that
the Michigan Telephone Co. knows
all about 1t for the service they arc
selling today Is certainly OF such an
ancient type that 1t defles the mem
ory of man to classify IL.
You have heard about taking candy
from a baby. Well, when IL comes
to pillaging this bunch has the call
Tor putting over that easy stun. For
Shame! Bah, that isn't in their make
up. II It was they would have died
Of 1t long ago.

IN history when II came TO a question
of patience. Give us another year OF
such service as the Michigan Tele-
phone Co. is giving and Crystal Falls

NO, Doctor, It's hopeless case.
The Michigan Telephone Co. is be-
yond every influence which publicity
