If the coat fits yoR, PIT it on

If friends of the Valley fair are as
free with their financial assistance as
they have been with expressions of
sentiment in favor of continuing the
annual show its future is rosy one.
Making allowances however. for the
poeket-book eramp that will attack
portion of the advisers, it may safely
be estimated that enough financial as
sistance viii be forthcoming to ensure
the proposed reorganization plan This
means, of course, the elimination of the
present capital stock but that is com
paratively slight hardship; in fact,
mere formahty in view of the associa-
tons present financial condition. The
main thing is to secure enough money
to iquidate the present Indebtedness
amounting to approximately $1,000
and provide reasonable guaranty
against future misfortune
The reorganization viii be useless,
however, if it stops short of securing
a board of officers willing to devote
great deal of time and thought to put
ting the fair on more stable footing
| Once out of its present distress, it
/ should be the aim of the association to
adopt a policy which will keep it out
Otherwise, the windup might as well
come now as any time. In the selec-
tion of officers the stockholders of the
new corporation should insist upon men
who viii begin at once to make plans
for next year s exhibition For one
thing, the present premium list should
be given the most thorough sort of a
survey with view to making every
department as attractive as possible TO
prospective exhibitors and at the same
time as economical as possible from the
viewpoint of the association. There is
little doubt that n considerable saw
ing can be effected in this way 1T
should also be the purpose of the new
/ board to begin at once to look about
for new sources of revenue, one of
which might be secured by making all
exhibits of strictly advertising ma
ture pay an entrance fee commensur-
ate with the value of the fair as a
publicity medium. The Weather, of
course, is something that has to be
left to chance, but with proper man
agement and reasonable break of
luck the association ought soon to he
4 in condition to stand rainy season
now and then.
Under the item of good will the Val
ley fair possesses a considerable asset,
while its grounds and equipment are the
equal of any Of their size in New Eng
land. Placed on sound financial
footing and properly Offered, there is
no reason in the world why it should
not regain the position which it once
enjoyed as the best show of its kind
in New England. That distinction in
itself would be sufficient recompense
for all the hard work necessary to

Figures

There seems to be a general inn
preston prevailing that there
was a large decrease in Dairy
Herds in New England during
1918, but the statistics of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
show the following
Number of Mich Cows Jan. /,

$4,000 $4,000 $4,000 1900
Net increase. 1000
These figures speak for them
selves.
Taking the United States as a
whole. Milch Cows increased dur
ing 1918 by 157 900, while live
stock of all kinds, including
swine, increased 6,344,000. The
total value of live stock as of
January l, 1919, is placed at
$S,S3O,204, 900. The increased val
uation during 1918 amounts to
$546,006,000. We suggest that you
keep these figures and show them
to the next man who talks about
decreases in the number of live
stock and remember that, for
New England at least, the pendu-
lum has undoubtedly passed the
low point and is swinging up
ward; also that there viii be
large increases in Poultry raised

WOUNDED MEN GIVEN
 BATH TUB TREATMENT

LONDON, Jan. 9.-A moving pie which warm water flows is the enter tainm"nt oddity provided in film shows by tn" American Y. NJ C. A. at the hospital under the shadow of Kings college, Cambridge. where wounded men from France are treated. In one ward certain of the patients who have had very serious septic wounds are having the water treatment
 To look at these men you might think they were lying comfortably in bed, proppcd up with pillows. They ar" really sitting in bath tubs in water up to their waists \ constant stream of water with a temperature of 9S degrees is kept running through the tub, purifying and cleansing the wounds, which have no other dress. ing. \ kind of maEuiGed board covers tn" top of the tub. and is in turn covered by long. bright patch t"'''' anu ''''4' tH' men Nlt OH ar cushions. leaning against air pillows. day and night sometimes for weeks at time. Only the most serious cases ar" put into these tubs men who otherwise have little chance of recovery, and non" without the am putation of limb, But never yet has cas" so treated been lost
 "It's b"astly uncomfortable the first week.. said the record case of the ward, British Tommy who was for eleven weeks in the bath. Your legs ache, and you have the water ru,u. but in week, at most. you get over that. and then it is more comfortable than being in bed. In fact after they put you back in bed you cant sleep for a while, it's so hard"
 The American Y. M. C. A. has been sending these mon movies" twice a week. A screen has been arranged at one end of the hut and there all the screen favorites play their parts while the men sit comfortably in their warm tubs. And when the show is over all they have to do is to turn out tn" lights and go to sleep.

No hex in Idaho,
State Game Warden
Finds After Search
ANIMALS DECLARED TO BE SUCH
ARE ONLY MOUNTAIN SHEEP,
JONES DECIDES

The next Idaho rancher, sheep man
or hunter who kills an "ibex will face
a fine of 800 and costs. This is the
ruling issued by Otto NJ. Jones, state
game warden.
"There is no such animal, the war
den declared after reviewing two weeks ,
search in the Middle Fork country of
the Salmon river hunting for clews and
examining alleged specimens. ''The
ibeX was never found in Idaho.
Two alleged samples of the animal
were viewed by the warden on his
hunt and both were found to be eve
mountain sheep, forbidden animal
to the hunter. Their short, slightly
curved horns and suggestion of
corrugations upon them had misled
the hunters.
The game warden found that resi-
dents of the Middle Fork country had
mistaken mountain sheep for ibex many
times, particularly when young bucks
were found with horns not yet grown
into the characteristic sweeping curve
and ewes with similar head dress.
Sometimes the animals had been cali
ed chamois" and sometimes had been
set down for an entirely new breed of
mountain animal.
The warden who pressed into the
mountains to such distances that he
was in great danger of being snow
bound, who froze part of one foot in
his expedition and who battled for a
week to get back to civilization, con
WINGED himself by the trip that the
ibex rumors are false.
The mex hunter who thinks he has
found a new animal, an ibex or cham
DIS will find instead, should he kill the
animal, justice and a stiff fine. hex
hunters will hunt at their own peril.

Mr.. Cook, knowing number of deer
hunters were in the woods thought the
shots were fired by "A hunter, and was
not alarmed.
No answer coming to the call for
help, Adamson, believed to be in great
pain, is thought to have decided to end
his suffering by killing himself. 1t is
felt he would have died during the
night from the wound in his abdomen,
had he not decided on shooting himself.
Examination of the body revealed that
Adamson, before he died, had removed
clothing from his abdomen, and attemp-
ed to stop the flow of blood from the
wound The blueprint on which the
note was written was besmirched with
blood.
Two of the men remained with the
body while a third member of the
searching party walked to Mount Idaho,
from which place he telephoned to of
ficers of the forest service and county
in Grangeville.
ALL-NIGHT DEATH WATCH
Forest Ranger Thomas Crossley and
Coroner A. j. Maugg departed Saturday
night for the scene of the tragedy, but
did not arrive until morning. Mean
time the men who had found the body
maintained throughout the night a
death watch in the narrow canyon.
Building campfire among the pines,
they kept watch of the corpse until the
officials arrived.
Sunday morning the men built
stretcher from boughs of trees, and,
placing the body of Adamson on tho
streteher, trudged until long after noon
in carrying the body for three miles
up the steep and rocky canyon to the
wagon road. For a part of the distance,
they were obliged to cut trail.
The body was brought to Grange
vile, and on Tuesday was sent east
for burial.
Coroner Maugg, after investigation,
decided an inquest was unnecessary
