 The feat recalled former long discussion as 10 what really enabled flies 10 walk on a ceiling. II used to be the theory that they owed their ability to perform the feat 10 each of their feet being a small air pump.
 Then someone came along and knocked this theory galley-west and folk said II was by means Of a viscu- ous substance which came from the hair on their feet
 Then 8 Dr. Rombouts proved that they hang on by the aid of capil- lary adhesion-that attraction be- tween solid and liquid bodies. In fact. il was proved the attraction was so great that fly could hang if 1t were nearly five-ninths again as heavy as IL is
 As each fly Is supposed 10 have from 5000 10 I1,OOO foothairs, SO IL Is fair to assume each hair is very minute

Expressions Irrespective of
Political Leanings; Favor
Canadian Importations.
FREE TRADER, CHARGE
Makes Farms as Free of Profit
AS Gold Fish Are
Of Privacy.

Boise, Ida, Oct 11.--If Senator
John +. Nugent shall be reelected
there will be continuation of an Ida
ho vote against Idaho's vital inter-
ests. That Is the conclusion OF the
best thought Of the state, irrespective
Of political learning, as expressed by
any number OF visitors to Boise
Senator Nugent stands for a policy
OF his party that looks with favor
upon Canadian md other importations.
That policy IL reflected today In the
price of wheat and other farm pro-
ducts. He, with his party, is free
trader. Under free trade Idaho would
he industrially paralyzed.
Our farms would be as free OF profit
MS Il gold fish Is of privacy.
1t is pointed out that the trouble
with our potatoes and hay and grain.
livestock and mining is that th~ policy
favored by Senator Nugent has thrown
them into composition with foreign
markets that do not have to pay the
high costs of production paid In this
country
There are some domestic conditio
affecting these industries, as there al.
ways are, but the fundamental reason
our farmers are not getting what is
coming to them today Is the favored
foreigner.
President Wilson put this county up
against the foreigner to this countrys
disadvantage with his league of ma
tiOns scheme-and that Is only part of
the Wils6nian and CoXonian plan that
takes too much interest in the affairs
of foreign lands and not enough In the
affairs Of the American people.
senator Nugent stands squarely he
hind President Wilson and Cox. He
admits II.
The foregoing summarizes the views
of many visitors TO the Capital from
over the state. and they forecast,
therefore, plurality of not less than
25,000 for Harding and sweeping
victory for Gooding and the entire Re
publican ticket.

The Temple Choir to Render
Opening Number on Tues
day, November End.

Several real treats are in store for
the people of Grangeville during the
coming winter. These will be provid-
ed on the High School Lyceum Course
of six numbers, which are scheduled
TO appear at intervals from Nov. 2 to
April End The course has been re-
markably well chosen and includes
several kinds of entertainment
The opening number is the Temple
Choir a company of five giving a pro-
gram varying from the music of the
seventeenth century TO the hest elias
sical songs in both light and heavy
vein. Several of the numbers are
given in costume The second number
on Nov. 18th is remarkable feature

Another program. which is 10 be given
on January Sth.. is presentation of
the play vanity" This is modern
morality play which is first and fore
most pleasing entertainment, filled
with clean and wholesome humor and
many big dramatic moments. Two
other numbers. the dates of which have
not yet been fixed. are dramatic
reading by Milton James Sitter and a
lecture on present European cOndi-
tions by Dean f. NJ Hulme Mr.
Sitter will read Bernard Shaw's The
Devils Disciple. He is young man
of rare ability in his work. Dean
Hulme of the University of Idaho
spent last year in Europe. He speaks
from the standpoint Of learned his
torian. He is one of the leading
speakers in the West and will give
something or rare interest to all. The
Garner Jubilee Singers and Male
Quartette will close the course on April
2nd with wonderful program of
music.
The financing of the lyceum course
is TO be taken over by the United
Student Body of the high school. IT
seems that the people of Grangeville
will support this neterprise which the
students of the high school are back
ing. Within the next few days com
mittees of students will canvass the
citizens of the town for the sale of
season tickets. When it is considered
that the whole course of six numbers
can he attended for only $3.50, there
ought to be no hesitancy on the part
of the people to attend The single
nmubers win cost prices ranging from
fifty cents to S100 and so there will
be a real saving to those who buy sea
son tickets.
