adjacent property owners before the

Dawson, that every Tom, Dick and

awful burden will fall.
An investigation made by an in

that in case the Main street sewer

ITALIAN ENJOYS ARE
INVITED TO RETURN
REQUEST is SENT BY WILSON,
LLOYD GEORGE AND CLEMEN-
CEAU IN FRIENDLY TERMS.

PARIS, May president Wilson,
Premier Clemenceau and Premier
Lloyd George, composing the council
of three, today sent a communication
to the Italian government inviting it
to resume its place at the peace con-
ference.
The councils invitation is of such
a nature that it is believed Italy will
accept it and that the relations tenn
porarily broken by the recent depar-
ture from Paris of Premier Orlando
and Foreign Minister Sonnino will be
restored by the presence of Italian
delegates at the conference before
the treaty is delivered to the German
delegates.
The terms of the communication
80 the Italian government have not
been disclosed, but it is believed they
seek to remove the personal element
of the controversy and to pave the
way for a territorial adjustment when
the relations are resumed.
The invitation to the Italian en-
voys is in the most cordial terms.

SUFFRACETTES LACK A VOTE;
ARE NOT so SURE OF VICTORY
Additional Support in Senate Is Being
Sought to Avoid Defeat of Con-
stitutional Amendment.

The woman suffrage amendment
still lacks one vote in the United
States senate, according to Miss Alice
Brown, chairman of the national wo-
mans party. Thus the amendment is
threatened with defeat unless the
leaders of the republican party Sc
cure another vote, or President Will
son gains the support of an addition
al democrat.
Miss Brown declared that, in spite
of repeated statements that the
amendment will pass as soon as con-
gress convenes, suffragists cannot
rest content while one of the neces-
sary two-thirds vote is still unpledg-
ed.
They are somewhat disappointed
that Senator Harris, the new mem
Der from Georgia, has not espoused
their cause.

Agriculture Popular

Things have changed since the
days when the comic papers printed
those funny jokes and pictures about
the bushy whiskered farmer, and
when the country boy couldn't show
his honest face on the city street
without being called Reuben.
About now the authors of the afore-
said jokes are quite apt to be won
dering where they can get trusted
for their next months bill of farm
products. Meanwhile Reuben,
now an ambitious and advancing
farmer, is riding into town in his
own automobile.
Country life and agriculture have
now become fashionable. The man
of wealth buys a farm as play
thing. The chances are against his
making money on it. But he gets
the diversion he came for. And if
he has public spirit he is wonder
full help to the rural community.
Then there is the city man whose
health has been impaired by indoor
lite. With his different experience,
it is hard proposition to make a
living out on the land. But some
men who were fading away in the
nervous life of towns, show mar
vellous physical improvement. And
if they are industrious and obser.
want, their success often surprises
the old timers.
Many pupils of agricultural col.
leges and schools are boys from
cities and large towns. Agricul

As Juliaetta Sees 1t.

An enthusiastic road meeting
was held at Kendrick last Friday at
which number of Juliaetta citizens
were present. The matter under
consideration was the improvement
of the Powell hill and Hamil hill
grades between Juliaetta and Kend-
rick. A survey tor this purpose was
made some time ago but owing to
the fact that the survey called for
about 1000 yards of hillside grading
it was considered too expensive and
the bids for doing the work were
rejected by the board of county
commissioners. The meeting re-
suited IN a decision to have resur-
vey made, taking a course lower
down the hillside which will give a
satisfactory road and reduce the
grading work to about ITS yards.
This it is believed will bring the
cost of construction within a reason.
able sum. The county surveyor was
ordered to make the resurvey at
once.-Juliaetta Record.

Bad Auto Accident

H. A. Russell and son Floyd, while
driving home IN their Ford Wednes-
day afternoon, ran off the road up
the Potlatch creek short distance
above the McCrea place. The car
rolled over the bank with the two
men in it and plunged into the
creek, bottom side up. The current
was strong enough to turn 1t over so
that H. A. Russell was able to get
out of the car. His son, however,
was too badly injured to be moved
without further assistance, so Mr..
Russell caught ride to town and
within few minutes a carload of
men were at the scene of the ac-
cident.
By the use of rope Floyd was
hoisted up the bank and was soon
under the care of Dr. Rothwell.
His injuries proved to be very SER
ious and and DR.. Gritman of Mes
COW was called into consultation.
A number of ribs were found to be
broken and one had pierced his
lung. While he suffered greatly
from his injuries and the shock uf
the accident, it is believed that he
will recover. HIS father received
some severe bruises but no serious
injury.
The stretch of road where the
car went over the bank would not
be considered dangerous place as
1T is quite wide and the grade is
not steep. Floyd was driving
and it was his first trip in the car.
Being an inexperienced driver he
became confused in handling the
wheel and turned it the wrong way
when trying to keep the car lin. the

Use Paper

A resourceful motorist whose car
has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to fall back on pair
of mules to get free. For such an
emergency store away somewhere in
the car a stack of old newspapers.
When the car gets stuck and the
wheels refuse to take hold, feed in
some of the old papers between the
tires and the mud. Usually only
a few will have to be worked in
before the wheels will begin to grip
and the car start forward.

To Destroy Garden Insects

Numerous letters from various
parts of southern Idaho show that
radish, turnip, cabbage. mustard,
horse-radish and beet plants are be-
ing severely injured by a tiny black
beetle which is known as the West
ern Cabbage Flea-beetle. according
to Ralph H. Smith, associate entom-
ologist. The beetle attacks the plants
soon after the first leaves appear
above ground and may quickly des-
troy them by eating tiny round holes
in the leaves. The following poison
dust is recommended for the control
of this beetle as we'll as for the
control of all other kinds of garden
insects which eat the leaves or other
parts of garden plants:
Powdered arsenate of lead, | part;
tobacco dust, parts; air Stacked
lime, sulphur, or sifted wood ashes,
parts.
One-half pound of powdered ar
senate of lead, 2 pounds of tobacco
dust and % pounds of air Stacked
lime, sulphur, or slfted wood ashes,
will make enough dust to protect
the ordinary family garden during
the summer. The materials should
be placed in large can or bucket
and thoroughly mixed by stirring
with stick. The dust may be
placed in a wide-mouthed
bottle, large sized pickle bottle
is suitable, and a piece of course
cheese cloth tied over the mouth, or
it may be placed IN course cheese
cloth bag and applied by shaking
over the plants. Apply when no
wind is blowing and give the fol
) iage fine coating of dust. 1t will
be necessary to repeat the applica-
tion IN some cases.
Arsenate of lead (powdered(
