of land near Potlatch, 480 acres be-
ing wheat land under cultivation
besides 160 acres of cut-over land.
Mr.. Mcdonald raises hogs on an ex-
tensive scale. He writes: 81 pro-
duced and marketed $50 head of hogs

The signboard is IL inches wide and
10 feet long. All my corner posts are
set in concrete and all gate and fence
posts are painted white all around the

HERD DISTRICT LAW
FULLY EXPLAINED
NOT PERMITTED TO
RUN AT LARGE IN LATAH
COUNTY-THE LAW

This office is in receipt of letter
from a farmer in the northern part of
the county, opposite Garfield, WHO
asks us to publish something about
the herd law. He asks first If live
stock can be turned into the public
roads or permitted to run at large and
also if poison may be placed ir- the
roads to kill squirrels. He complains
that his neighbors turn their horses
and cattle into the roads and they
break fences and injure crops and
asks what can be done about it.
The editor took the matter up with
John Nisbet, prosecuting attorney,
who gave a copy of the herd Jaw as 1t
applies to Latah county, which is
here given. Mr. Nisbet was uncertain
about putting poison in the roads but
will look the matter up and make a
report later He was too busy to
look up the law when called upon, but

FARM BUREAU MEET
IS WELL ATTENDED
THREATENING WEATHER DID
NOT PREVENT FARMERS
AND FAMILIES ATTENDING

Despite cold, raw and threatening
weather there was good attendance
of farm bureau members at what is
planned to be the first annual meet
ings to be held at the University of
Idaho. About $50 were present and a
profitable time was had. There were
scores of automobiles parked about
the Y. NJ c. A. hut where the meet
ings were held. 1t had been plan
ned to hold open air meetings but the
threatening weather drove them in
side.
The forenoon was taken up with
committee meetings and several COM
mittees prepared their reports. At
noon a basket luncheon was served
on tables spread in one of the rooms
of the hut, and about $50 persons sat
down to only such feed as farm
ers' wives know how to prepare.
After the luncheon an hour was spent
in visiting and then the program be-
gan at o'clock when the meeting was
called to order by Arnold S. Lyon,
the president. The report of the sec
retary was read and there were ad-
dresses by Dean E. J. Iddings, Miss
Halle Hyde, Arnold S. Lyon, George
Sievers, and R. H. Musser, of Boise.
The report of County Agent 0. S.
Fletcher was read and showed salts
factory growth of the farm bureau
movement in Latah county this year.
Following the addresses and some
splendid music furnished by the de-
'partment of music of the university,
committee reports were heard and act
ed upon.
Many farmers brought their wives
and children and they all enjoyed the
day Immensely They visited the
buildings, the stock barns, the seed
plants and the experiment station and
had an enjoyable time.

FIELD GLASSES
RETURN TO MOSCOW
MOSCOW MAN GETS GLASSES
USED IN NAVY WITH EN-
GRAVED CERTIFICATE

w. H. Cornelison, of Moscow, is in
receipt of handsomely engraved GER
tificate from the navy department,
of which he is justly proud. 1t came
by mail yesterday from Washington,
D. c., and is an acknowledgement
of patriotic services" by Mr. Corne-
ison, with thanks for these services.
The certificate bears the autographed
signature of Franklyn D. Roosevent,

navy.
When war was declared against
Germany the Uninted States fitted
out lot of vessels of all kinds and
descriptions to fight the submarine
menace, which threatened to destroy
shipping and win the war for Ger
many. These ships needed powerful
glasses and the worlds supply Of
these came from Germany. Conse-
quently they could not be obtained.
1t was known that many Americans
had glasses with long range and an
appeal was made to the owners of
such glasses to loan them to the ma
Wy, with promise that they would
be returned or paid for.
Mr.. Cornelison had a fine pair of
the glasses and he had them suit
ably engraved with the date of the
declaration of war, April 6, 1917, and
sent them to the navy. He received
a receipt for them and 81.
Recently the glasses were returned.
They were on a small table tripod
when sent to the navy. This tripod
had been removed and large tripod,
adjustable to various heights, had
been put in place. The cap that COW
cred the glass was not returned.
The "eye of the ship had evidently
"never been closed" Today Mr.. Cor
nelson received a handsomely en-
graved certificate Of thanks from the
navy department for the use of the
glass, apd for his patriotic services.
The certificate is handsome piece
of engraving on parchment. At the
top is a picture Of some mariners,
blindfolded, gropitg their way
through the serf This represents the
condition the navy would have been
in had not the people loaned the glass
es which were Of such inestimable
value to it during the war. Mr.: Cor
Nelson is thanked for furnishing
"eyes for the navy.
He plans to have the certificate
framed and kept as an heirloom and
a valued souvenir of the worlds
greatest war.
