HARDING DENIES EVEN
SEEING FRENCH HUMORIST.

MARION, o.. Oct. 20.-An unSuc-
cessful attempt by Governor Cox ''to
trap Senator Harding was charged
in a statement issued from Harding
headquarters here last night in re-
Spouse to suggestions by the Demo-
cratic nominee that Mr. Harding had
conferred with Maurice DeKobra,
French journalist. regarding the
French attitude toward the League
of Nations.
The statement, issued over the
signature of Judson c. Welliver,
Headquarters director of publicity,
said Senator Harding never had heard
of DeKobra until today, though the
latter had made an unsuccessful eff
fort to see him in Indianapolis last
Friday. It was asserted further that
DeKobra. who said he had been trav-
cling with the Cox party ''was evil
IDENTIFY expected by Governor Cox to
secure an interview with Senator
Harding and to say certain things to
him."
Therefore" continued the state
ment, when Senator Harding, on
the next day at Greencastle, Ind,
made MS casual observation about
France. having sent spokesman to
him informally, Governor Cox as
sumed that the DeKobra. mission
had been successful and that Sena-
tor Harding had taken the bait"
Senator Harding himself declined
to discuss the governors references
to DeKobra or to say anything fur
Their in regard to his utterance at
Greencastle. He indicated that
with his reply to President Wilson's
letter on the subject last night he
was inclined to regard the incident
as closed, and he did not intend to
reveal the identity of his informants
or any other details of the "infor-
may" advices he had received from
them.

SUMTER INDIAN
RELICSFOR FAIR
Several Collections To
Be Shown; Others
Are Invited

New and interesting features are
being added to the Sumter County
Fair almost every day, the latest
being an exhibit of Indian relics
Sumter county was the scene of much
interesting activity among the lead
ing tribes of Cherokees prior to the
coming of the "pale face" and thous-
ands of souvenirs were left by the
Indians when they were forced to
seek new camping grounds in the
great west Interesting collections
of arrow heads, wampum and other
characteristic Indian relics have
been gathered by several Sumter
county people and many of these
will be on display at the fair in No
vember. Some of these collections
are valued at several hundred dol
lars and will no doubt prove one of
the most interesting exhibits on dis
play. Several people have already
signified their intention of sending
in their collections for exhibit, and
Secretary Perkins, of the Fair asso-
citation requests other owners of In
dian relics to do likewise, advising
him at the earliest practical date.
Efforts on the part of several
committees responsible for the va
rious departments of the fair have
been redoubled druing the past few
days, and as the time draws near
the prospects for the success of the
undertaking grow brighter. The
Woman's committee, under the lead
ership of Mrs. R. L. Maynard, is
meeting with very gratifying en-
enlargement and this department of
the fair is going to be exceptionally
attractive

STATE BOARD HAS
ISSUED MANUAL

The State Board of Education has
just issued a manual and course of
study for the high schools of Idaho.
This is the first time in the history
been issued and it has been looked
forward to with very much interest
by all the schools of the state. The
department secured the cooperation
OF about fifty leading high school
men and women OF the state In the
preparation of this manual.
Hitherto the examination on Man
ual and Course of Study has been
upon the manual for the eight grades
of the elementary school. All teach
ers are required by law to pass the
examination on manual and course
of study, and there has been much
complaint in the past because high
school teachers coming with diplo-
mas from our best colleges and uni
versities were nevertheless required
to pass an examination on a manual
and course of study which they were
not expected to teach. It will be q
matter of great interest to those who
arc to be examined in the November
examinations to learn that high
school teachers will pass the examin-
alton on the high school manual and
course of study while elementary
teachers will pass the examination on
the manual for the elementary grades
new edition OF which is Just now
in press.
The high school manual will cost
forty cents and the elementary man
ual thirty-five cents, the money un-
der the law being turned into the
State Treasury by he Department of
Education.

Real NeIahIporIIness.

An interesting experiment in neigh
borliness has been carried ON for near
ly a year in part of Toledo which is
populated almost exclusively by Polish
immigrants and their descendants. The
Polish Business Mems club of the dis
trict conceived the idea that the needy
Polish families in the community
should be taken care of In a nelghbor-
ly way, rather than by charity organi-
cations. The latter were requested not
to extend aid In the district, but to
notify the cllb, so that 1t might meet
all emergencies. This is not done from
the club treasury, however. An lnves-
tigation is made to determine whether
the need is for money, supplies or
work, and the other residents of the
block, including the tradesmen, are
then Informed that their neighbors
need their assistance, which, the club
reports, is always forthcoming.

HAVE TO WAIT TO UNLOAD
Shipping Congestion at London Docks
Said te.se Of an Extraordinary
Character.

A writer to the London Times de-
scrlbes the Victoria and Albert docks
at Tilbury as being crowded to their
fullest capacity with big ships" many
of which '1ook absolutely dead for the
simple reason that they can not be un-
loaded because there is nowhere to
put their cargoes." OF ships carrying
Australian meat 1t is said to be "a
common thing to wait anything up to
month for a berth and to lie another
month tied up against the wharf, un-
loading and reloading." IneficIency Of
labor is in large degree responsible,
for the average dlscharging output per
shift of ID men In a nine-hour day has
been reduced from 100 to 63 tons. The
cause is partly the loss Of many good
] men in the war, partly loafing on the
Job to make work for as many men as
possible. Congestion Of the ports is
attributed to state control over essen
tial imports, to state control over rail-
roads, and to reduction of the hours of
labor. By these means the carrying
power of ships has been reduced at
least 80 per cent below pre-war stand
ards.

immunity From whoOpInu Couch.

DR.. T. Luzzati of Rome was called
to three different houses, in each of
which child had begun to cough. In
each case he suspected that 1t might
be whooping cough; therefore. as
precaution, he yaccinated all the broth
ers and sisters with an antl-whooping-
serum. Ten days later his suspicion
was confirmed by the typical whoop,
but In no case did one of the other
children catch the disease. though no
attempt at isolation was made.
In reporting this to Policlinlcs
(Rome) Doctor Luzzati says he has
found no benefit from vaccination once
the disease has become pronounced.
