A perfectly formed hardshell crab
about the size Of the end of a person
thumb was once found in an oyster
shell. The crab had evidently been
swallowed by the oyster, but presum-
abb. the crab proved too much for the
oyster, as there was no oyster in the
shell when it was opened.

Robber Caught In Act

Monday night at about ten o.
clock robber climbed into an open
window at the back of the Kendrick
Store and attempted to steal some
groceries. He was caught in the
act by F. A. Pears, book-keeper for
the Kendrick Store Co.
Mr.. Pears was working on his
books when he heard a noise IN the
back room of the store. He waited
until he saw a hand reaching over
shelf for box Of crackers. He
gave the alarm and the burglar ran
into the toilet. Mr.. Pears got his
gun and went to the side door of the
store to secure assistance from the
Kendrlck Hotel. Several men came
over and guarded the rear door
By this time the burglar came out
and gave himself up. He proved
to be Moscow boy by the name of
Melvin Parkins and gave his age as
Is years. He said the reason he
broke into the store was because he
was hungry. He proved his words
by getting outside Of an enormous
lunch which Mr.. Dammarell set
before him.
After sleeping in the town lookup
over night he was taken to Moscow
by Sheriff Woody. The matter of
punishment was lett entirely with
the county officials.
The boy had a partner in town the
day of the robbery but he was not
to be found. He was not with Par
kins when the robbery was attempt
ed.

Good Water System Here

Kendrick can we'll afford to spend
a little money to put the water
system IN good shape. The initial
cost of the entire system was very
small compared to the amount
neighboring towns have invested in
their water systems. Genesee voted
bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
the water works at that place and
now only $4,000 worth of bonds re-
main unpaid. Genesee has an "a
bundance of water. Troy depends
on d we'll from which the water is
pumped into Reservoir. Only a
limited amount Of water is allowed
to each individual because the sup
ply is not sufficient for the citizens
to use all the water they want. The
water rents do not pay running ex-
penses as it is a big expense to
pump the water.
Kendrick has a gravity system,
which, when thoroughly overhauled,
can be operated at very small ex-
pense,. The water is of the very
best and can be had in sufficient
quantities to supply a town several
times the size of kendrick. The
repairs that are being done or the
system are now made with direct
reference to permanency so that
when the job is done it will not
have to be done over again at ar
early date. This Will eventually
get the pipe lines in first class con
dition and when they are once put
in shape they will require very
little repairing. 1t is believed the
water rents will pay for the system
within period of few years.

May Reopen Creamery

F. E. Weissenfuh arrived in Kend
rick from Orofno Wednesday morn
ing to look over the creamery plant
here. He was interested in the
creamery machinery and will prob
ably either buy the machinery here
and move it to Orofino or come here
and open creamery. The latter
proposition would be the most sat
isfactory one to the majority but it
hinges on whether Mr.. Weissentiuh
decides to put in a creamery plant
at Orofino or not. He was very
favorabIy impressed with Kendrick
as a location for creamery and
said he could see no reason why it
could not be made paying PROPOSE
tion.
If he locates here he will put in
an ice plant and manufacture the
ice for the town. The Kendricll
Dray and Ice Company agreed to
handle his ice exclusively if he
would put in the plant here. N. B.
Long & Son also agreed to use frost
ed pipes from his ice plant to cool
the large refrigerator in the store.
Along with the butter making and
ice manufacturing the creamery
would also make ice cream to sup
ply the wholesale trade of the town
and ighboring points.

Ford Ran off the Grade

Oscar Huffman of Big Bear Ridge
had narrow escape Thursday morn
ing while driving down the grade
with his Ford. At one of the steep
curves he reached down to throw off
the switch. and believes while do
ing so he unconsciously released the
foot brake. The car shot forward
and went over the edge. of the
grade, rolling over twice. Mr.. Huff
man was thrown out the first time
the car rolled over and escaped
without injury. He walked to town
as the Ford was out of commission.
One wheel was wrecked, the steer
ing gear broken and other parts of
the car smashed up. Mr.. Huffman
considers himself very fortunate
to escape alive, and doesn't believe
he could go through the same eX-
perience with any other gar except
a Ford.

Snake Story

DR.. RothwelI is telling a snake
story that would sound tishy in
dry territory like this, if 1T were
not for the fact that he had ample
proof in the shape Of eye witnesses,
who can vouch for the truthfulness
of the tale. While out on Bear
Ridge last Monday he left his car
standing by the roadside and while
he was making professional call a
snake crawled under the hood of his
car, taking advantage of the warm
tn thrown out by the engine. Sever
al days later when the doctor look
ed under the hood he found the re-
mains of the snake in the position
usually occupied by the fan belt.
1t is believed that when DR.. Roth
we'll started the car the snake was
electrocuted as he was perfectly
dead when found.

State Land Sale

Ben Bush, state timber cruiser for
Idaho, announces sales of state lands
aggregating $4,000 acres. in Butte,
Bingham and Bonneville counties,
beginning July IA and ending July
25.
The state land department has
issued maps and detailed informa-
ton in regard to these lands and
this information can be obtained
from Mr.. Bush. The lands are To-
Gated in the southeastern part of the
state in the upper Snake river val
ley. The circular describing these
lands says in part:
''The upper Snake river valley, in
which the bulk of the lands offered
tor sale are located, is often refer
red to as the grain bin of Idaho.
1t might also be called the potato
bin, the sugar bin and also the seed
pea bin."
Mr.. Bush will be glad to give any
information desired about these
lands which are appraised at from
$40 to $50 per acre and will be sold
on long time and easy payments, at
low interest. Mr.. Bush's home is
in Moscow and he can be communi.
Gated with in regard to this land by
ADDRESSING HIM here. 1t is likely
some excellent bargains in cheap
lands may be obtained at this sale

lands in southern Idaho a few years
ago have sold for as high as $25(
per acre and made the land pay in
terest on the Investment all tht
time.-Star- Mirror.

Save High Priced Feed

Owing to the great Importance of
producing cheaper bulky feed on
the farm, the department of agrl-
culture urges stock farmers to make
their plans early this season to erect
silos. The department calls atten-
tion to the high price Of hay and
other feeds, and need of silos to con-
serve much feed otherwise wasted
on the farm. The department says
that farmers who have or contem-
plate building a silo are fortunate
indeed, for they will be in posi+
tion to meet the situation and pro-
duce the maximum amount of milk,
beef, and mutton most economical
ly. Evidence that the silo has be-
come an actual necessity IN most
sections of the country for the pro-
duction of these staple food pro-
ducts is not only borne out by the
many experiments conducted by the
different experiment stations thru
out the country, but by the expert
ence of thousands of farmers every
where who have changed from old
to the new way of utilizing the corn
crop. There are many advantages
in the use of the silo, but the prin-
cipal one is that silage is the cheap
est and most proftble form IN which
succulent feed for winter use may
be provided. Being a succulent,
palatable rufage, it permits the use
of the oil by-products, such as cot
ton seed meal, oil meal, peanut
meal, velvet beans, etc., which are
among the cheapest source of pro-
tein. Owing to the nature and
feeding value of silage, cheap and
practically unusable rufages may
be used profitably for wintering
live stock. 1t has been found that
straw and cotton seed meal when
fed with silage are superior to
timothy hay fed with silage.

A Valuable Experiment

A story of remarkable interest to
farmers everywhere is found in the
recital of results secured by John
Schott from a field of sweet clover.
Last fall Mr.. Schott turned his
stock to pasture in this field and has
kept them there continually ever
since. With the stock in the field,
he moved the field early, cutting
the clover about six inches from the
ground and secured 1900 pound of
hay to the acre. He will soon re-
move the stock and let the clover
produce seed and he expects to Sc
cure enough seed to SOW 100 acres.
Mr.. Schott says that sweet clover
is the coming summer pasture for
all kinds of stock on dry land. Mr..
Farmer, you are invited 10 come
and see for yourselves, and Mr..
Schott will be glad to show you the
field, just how it looks and what it
is producing. 1t is just few rods
from town.-Culdesac Enterprise.

$1O0 Savings Certificates

The War Loan organization of the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
has Just been advised that hereafter
War Saving Stamps may be convert
ed into Saving Certificates of 500
and $1,000 denominations according
to a new plan of the Saving Div
lsion of the u. S. Treasury Depart
ment to afford greater convenience
in handling War Savings securities.
The development of the War Saw
ings idea is that has been urged
for sometime in order to attract
larger investments. The holder of
sufficient number of Thrift Stamps
may now exchange them for a S.
War Savings Stamp and in turn the
holder of twenty of the S. War Saw
ings Stamps may convert them into
$l00 Savings Certificate or the
holder of two hundred of the SIS
Stamps may turn them in for a $1,000
Savings Certificate.
Conversion may be made at al
| first and second class postoffices and
at all banks and trust companies
that have qualified as agents of the
second class. The Treasury Savings
Certificates are to be issued in re
gistered form and will bear the
names of the owners. They will
yield four per cent compounded
quarterly as do the War Saving.
Stamps. The limit Of the individ
ual investment still remains, a
$1,000.
The new Treasury Savings Ger
tifcates should prove particular,
attractive for the investment of tn
funds of fraternal societies, labo
unions and other civic, social ant
religious organizations because tn
interest is added to the principa
automatically each quarter. the en-
tire amount being payable at ma
turity.
