URGES USE OF BOTH HANDS
French Authority Points Out the Value
of Ambidexterity and Its Need
of Cultivation.

France. in her earnest efforts to re-
habilitate herself, has come to the wise
conclusion that child--a man or
woman of the near future-who can
use either hand with equal facility is
almost twice as useful to the state
as "right-handed" or '1eft-handed"
person.
The Paris correspondent of the Jour
nal of the American Medical As
ISOLATION writes of the attempt to en-
courage ambidexterity in French chill
dren.
Eat the recent meeting Of the Acad-
emfe de Medicine Doctor Armaingaud
pointed out the loss-military, civil
and economic-which results from an
artificial disability imposed on yosng
children, and therefore On adults, in
allowing them to use only their right
hand, so that the left hand is used
only. as an auxiliary to the right. :
Speaking from military point of
view, Armaingaud called attention to
the statement made by General Baden
Powell to the effect that no one could
doubt, the value of ambiuexterity. III
both hands were used equally by
everybody instead of being used only
occasionally, or by a few persons, as
is the case today, the strength OF the
army would be increased notably.
"At this time, when the population
of France is decimated by tuberculo-
sis and alcoholism, and when the ex-
cess of births over deaths is less each
year, it is not a matter of indifference
to permit the population of France to
continue what may be called physi0-
logic mutilation, one which may be
made to disappear at will.
"Armaingaud proposed to the acad-
envy (I to issue an appeal to the peo-
pie of France, asking that the mothers,
in the interest of the nation and In the
interest of defense Of the country,
teach their children from the first to
use both hands equally; (2) to request
the minister of public instruction to
make the equal use of both hands OBJ
ligatory in all the primary and second
airy schools; (3) to urge the founda-
ton of prize to be awarded annually
to the teacher in France who has been
most successful In carrying out this
most desirable reform"

present wage agreements between
operators and miners expire with
the proclamation Of peace by the Pres
ident. A suspension of mining oper-
atoms while a new wage agreement is
being negotiated would, Of course, seri-
ously interfere with the production Of
coal and IL 1t should occur during the
fall would cause panic among buyers
and consumers Of coal.
There is no use In gambling upon
this or any other contingency, fuel adj
ministration officials say. The firm or
individual who wants to be sure Of an
adequate coal supply next winter can
be certain by buying coal now. There
is no other way such assurance
can be obtained. Transportation also
promises to be limiting factor II the
flood tide of demand comes at time
when the country's record crops are
being carried. In some districts 1T
would appear certain that, notwith-.
standing the utmost endeavors Of the
Railroad Administration and the util-
ization Of its experience last fall, car
shortage will be a cause limiting btu
minous coal production, and for that
reason 1t is problematical whether the
expected production of 500, 0OO, 600 tons
can be attained this year.
Shortage of labor already is fac
tor that is cutting down the output IN
some coal producing sections, accord
ing to the Surveys report. The opera
tors report that from $4,000 to 10000
foreign-born miners expect to return to
Europe as soon as they can get pass
ports and that many have already re-
turned. If continued this movement
will be capable Of producing but one
result-a reduction Of the amount of
coal mined in districts where the mine
labor is largely foreign-born, and there
are many such districts.
He who needs coal should hesitate
no longer. Now is the time to buy
coal.

COAL SHORTAGE
ON Way; GOVT.
SAYS BUY now
May Be Repetition of 1918
Conditions Next Winter Says
Geological Survey.
MINES IDLE WITHOUT ORDERS.
Those Who Delay Ordering
Longer May Not Get Their
Fuel Later On.

The United States Geological Survey
announces from Washington the prob
ability of another general coal short
age next fall and winter. The an
nouncement is based, the Survey
states, upon nationwide study or
conditions in the bituminous field.
Unless steps are taken at once, the
Survey says, TO place the mines upon
a basis of increased production there
is every prospect of repetition to
some degree of the situation that pre-
vailed in the United States during the
winter of 1918.
The only way production can be slim
ulated at the present time, it is said, is
by placing orders with the mines for
coal which will be needed later on.
Production during the first five months
of the year," reads the statement, "fell
81, 292 900 net tons, or approximately
25% below production during the first
five months Of 1918. Mines are produc-
ing coal now at the rate Of from 8,0OO,-
600 to S,5OO,OOO tons week. An aver
age output Of 100000 tons week
must be maintained from June / to
January next If the country's esti-
mated needs Of 5O0.OOO,OOO tons this
year are to be met"
Evil Of Delayed Orders.
At no time during this year has the
rate Of production approached the re-
quired tonnage The tendency on the
part Of buyers to hold Off placing their
orders is limiting production, as the
mines cannot store coal at the point of
production, and when the rush of
orders for the winters needs comes
next fall there is grave danger that
the mines, with depleted labor forces
and the probability Of less adequate
transportation, will be unable to meet
the demands. The result of such q sit
uation would be an insufficient supply
for the requirements of domestic con-
sumers, public utilities and Industrial
users generally.
It is believed that requirements for

as some farmers got from a big
farm. Since August Is he has sold

TOWN FARM SELLS
FOR $3.50 PER ACRE
JAMES O'CONNOR, SUCCESSFUL
FARMER, PAYS RECORD PRICE
FOR THIS LAND

Mrs. A. l.. Town has sold her farm
of 100 acres, foul miles northeast ol
Moscow, to James O'Connor for $685.
800, or $3.50 per acre. The deal was
closed yesterday by c. n. Jester, the
real estate mar on Second street
who is Mrs. Towns son-in-law. The
land lies on the new highway to
Idler's Rest and Tarry-a-While, being
on the north side of the road directly
opposite the Holland farm that Harry
| Simpson sold recently for $175 per
| acre. 1t is we'll improved and an
ideal farm.
This is the fourth transfer shown
on the records for this piece of land.
The first article recorded In connec
ton with the land was a patent from
the government to Reuben Cox, who
had taken it as a homestead. That
was in 1880. In 1883 Mr.. Cox sold
the land to Christian Nelson, for $4,000,
or $3.50 per acre. In 1888 A. l.. Town
bought the land from Nelson, paying
him SIS per acre, or $2400 for the
quarter section. Mr.. Town died in
1918 and Mrs. Town has held the land
until now, having had it for 81 years
during a large part of which time it
was her home.
James O'Connor, the purchaser,
knows what he is getting and what
land is worth in this country. He is
a successful farmer. He recently sold
his farm west of town for $3.50 per
acre and bought this land which is on
the new highway, for $50 per acre
more than he received for his land.
Mr.. O'Connor is one of the pioneers
in pea raising in this section and has
made a success of the industry. This
year he got $4,000 from 80 acres that
had in peas and wheat, the wheat
being grown on land that had produc-
ed peas last year. That he has made
a good buy is believed and that the
land will advance in value from the
seeming high price he paid for it nc
inc doubts. 1t is a fine farm, lays
we'll, every acre is in cultivation and
it is on the first highway that will be
in Latah county. This makes
two high record farms sold on this
highway which is only half finished.

One Of the heaviest rams hat this
section has had in many months fell
Monday night. The rain was warm
and it took away the snow except in
the foot hills and the timber. The
ground is thoroughly soaked and the
roads are about as bad as they could
be. Had as much rain fallen in July
as fell Monday and Monday night the
farmers Of this county would have had
to hire help to take care of their mon
ey. If the weather should turn warm
and remain SO for a few weeks an i'm
