Over The County

Latah County Press: S. E. Mona
han, engineer in charge of the Mos
.cow-Bovill state road survey, while
in town few days ago authorized
the Press to say that the survey and
location of the highway has heen
completed. The project statement
has been filed with the bureau of
highways at Boise and the road is
now ready for the contractors. En-
gineer Monahan states that the sur
veying crews have been taken off
but it will be necessary to keep an
Office forge of about three men for
awhile to get out data required by
the government in connection with
securing federal aid on this high
way. The major portion of the Mos
cow-Bovill state highway is in
cIuded IN postal routes. The work
of surveying and locating having
been pushed to completion without
loss of time, this county's applica-
tion for federal aid is ahead of all
others.
Troy News:- The News was pre-
sented with an arm load of Melted
Gem" potatoes by Bert Campbell
few days ago that were little
nicer than any we have seen this
year. Bert had in three acres of this
variety this year, and notwithstand-
ing the long drouth they turned
out we'll both in yield. size and
quality. From three acres he got
3O1 sacks which will net him a
handsome profit at present prices.
The ones he left at the News office
averaged two pounds each, but of
course these were among the best
he raised. Mr.. Campbell said the
average size of the potatoes was
from pound and quarter to
about one and a half pounds. On
the market this variety brings a
quarter of cent more than any
other variety, and they are actually
worth it.

John Leisa ranch of 80 acres one

Wright states there is considerable
activity in real estate in and arounC

Genesee News The proposition
for the consolidation OF school dis

Saturday afternoon, was dcfeate'
by a small margin, the vote in dis
trlct No. Is standing eight for t
eleven against. The sentiment il
Genesee was unanimously for cor
solidation. The vote cast was light
being only So, but all were favor
able.
Several things contributed to tn
defeat of the proposition, not tn
least of which was overcontidenc
of those favorable to the propose
and a failure to get out the voter:
the advantages to be derived wer
not we'll understood, and the fac
that some events transpired to kee
voters at home.
Consolidation is an advanc

BoWIegged Fellows Are Not

Bad Luck for Turn-ln Toes

There is an old saying that a handy

ISOLATION therein, says a writer in Lon

THE CHAPERON

1 take my chaperon to the play
She thinks she's taking me.
And the gilded youth who owns the box
A proud young man is he;
But how would his young heart be hurt
If he could only know
That not for his sweet sake l go
Nor yet to see the tritiing show,
But to see my chaperon firt.
Her eyes beneath her snowy hair
They sparkle young as mine;
There's scarce wrinkle in her hand
So delicate and fine.
And when my chaperon is seen,
They come from everywhere
The dear old boys with silvery hair.
With oldtme grace and old-tme air,
To greet their old-time queen.
81
They bow as my young Midas here
Will never learn to bow
CThe dancing masters do not teach
That gracious reverence now;
With voices quavering just bit,
They play their old parts through,
They talk of folk who used to WOO,
OF hearts that broke in ffty-two-
Now none the worse for wear.
And as those aged crickets chirp
1 watch my chaperon's face.
And see the dear old features take
A new and tender grace;
And in her happy eyes | see
Her youth awakening bright,
With all it's hope, desire, delight
All me! | wish that I were quite
AS young-as gay as she!

BTitisher Reads Stars
and Sees New World War
to Begin in June 1926

There will be another world war be-
ginning in June, 1926, according to a
writer in the British Journal of AS
trolOgy. This prophet, who signs him
self "Sepharial," asks for a serious
hearing, inasmuch as he claims to
have published year in advance In
each case the exact date of the war
of 1914 and of the cessation of hos
tilities.
"The first phase of the next war"
he writes, 'will begin with Turkey,
whose perfidy will lead to its final
overthrow in 1922. This time Prus-
sian intrigue will dominate the posi-
ton in the near East, affecting Greece,
Turkey and Russia. But, according
to my calculations, the great crisis
will not be reached until June, 1926.
"In this great war, which may be
regarded as Prussia's counter to the
wal of 1914-1S, the malevolent forces
take their rise In Vienna and Berlin
ascend to Petrograd, penetrate through
the whole of Russia and descend via
the Black sea and Turkey in Asia, on
to Syria and Palestine"
Another allied victory is predicted
by Sepharial.

Familiar "Hoss-Sho Game
Proves a Magnet for Many,
Despite the Call to Duty

The custom of using hOrseshOes in
stead of the large, fiat metal rings
with which the game Of quoits is pro-
fessionally played was ancient when
Joseph Strut wrote his sport and
Pastimes of the People of England"
well over a hundred years ago, and,
according to a traveller in modern
New England, they are still so used in
that part of the world. The traveller
tells of seeing two Maine farmers
meet early one morning in the road
in front Of farmhouse. "Tll play
you a game of hoss-shoes," suggested
one. "I'll play you just one game
said the other. give got lot of work
to do today" So they began playing,
and when the traveller passed that
way again late in the afternoon they
were still at it. They had been play
ing horseshoes all day, and the farm
er's wife confided to the traveller, not
altogether with admiration, that they
hadn't stopped even for dinner.

supplying the fowls with all available
table scraps it will usually cost from
% to 70 cents year per fowl for
grain and other feeds. A good egg
laying ration should consist of the
following: Three parts corn meal and
one part beef scrap mixed together
and fed'in dry-mash hopper to which
the fowls will have access at all times.
In addition to this scratch ration
consisting of equal parts cracked corn
and oats should be fed twice daily.
When no table scraps are available it
will take about one quart of scratch
grain caily for twelve to fourteen
fowls. However, this can be reduced
when table scraps are fed and a GER
tain amount of natural green feed,
such as grass, is available.
In providing the fowls with suit
able house it should be remembered
that the essentials of such building
are fresh air, dryness, sunlight and
sufficient space so that the fowls VIII
not be crowded. Usually each fowl
should be allowed four square feet O6
floor space. If available, scrap lum-
Der from dry-gOOds boxes, etc, can be
utilized to construct such house. The
cost will be considerably less than
when lumber is purchased. If suffi-
cient lumber is not available for the
entire house q rough framework we'll
covered with ordinary roofing or tar
paper will answer the immediate
needs.
When the heavier fowls plymouth
Rocks, WyandOttes, Rhode Island
Reds, etc.) are kept all females should
be disposed of at the end of their sec
Ond year, inasmuch as in most cases
they will cease to be profitable at the
end of that time. The lighter breeds
UeghOrns, etc.), however, can be prof
itably kept as long as three years. By
disposing of the hens in this way a
part of the flock must be renewed each
year. Consequently, considering that
the percentage of cockerels and pullets
is usually about the same, and that
n certain percentage will die before
reaching maturity it is customary to
hatch more chicks each year than
there are hens in the flock.

If you have a fountain pen that

if it is one of those types of fOun-

Then apply oil on the spindle which

through the bearings from end to end.
You can now refill the pen and wipe

"What Is MANI"
Interesting Answer Dealing With
Physical Makeup

A man weighing $50 pounds will con-
gas-oXygen, hydrogen and nitrogen
in his constitution, which at so cents
4 thousand cubic feet would be worth
$3.50 for Illuminating purposes, as
pCrimenter. He also contains all the
necessary fats to make 15-pOund
candle, and thus, together with his
$500 cubic feet of gases, he possesses
considerable Illuminating possibilities.
His system contains twenty-five pounds
and ten ounces of carbon, or enough to
make $50 dozen, or $500 lead pencils.
There are about fifty grains of iron in
his blood and the rest of the body
would supply enough of this metal to
make one spike large enough to hold
his weight. A healthy man contains
ifty-fOur ounces of phosphorus. This
deadly poison would make 100000
matches or enough poison to kill 800
persons. This, with two ounces of
lime, make the stiff bones and brains.
No difference how sour man looks,
he contains about sixty Jumps of sugar
of the ordinary cubical dimensions, and
to make the seasoning complete, there
are twenty spoOnfuls of salt. If
man We're distilled into water, he
would make about thirty-eight quarts,
or more than half his entire weight.
He also contains great deal of starch,
chloride of potash, magnesium, sui
phur and hydrochloric acid in his Won
derful human system. Break the
shells of 1000 eggs into huge pan or
basin, and you have the contents of a
man from his toenails to the most
