Burglars Get George

During the family's absence Satur-
day evening burglars entered George
Hermann's home on Granville street
and thoroughly ransacked the house.
1t is believed that money was the OBJ
iect of the visit as nothing except a
valuable cameo pin was missed from
the rooms. Evidently it was the work
of someone familiar with the sur
roundings, but no clues were dis
covered.

CLEANUP DAY, MONDAY, MAY 10
Board Of Health Requests Cltizens to
Have Garbage Ready for Removal

Plans for cleaning up the city We're
formulated by the board of health
Of the city of Grangeville at a meet
ing held Tuesday evening, April TWEEN
ty-seventh
Residents of the city are requested
to have all garbage and refuse gather
ed up and placed at convenient points
adjacent to their premises on that
date. The city will have number of
wagons and trucks in operation to
remove the refuse to the dump ground.
If we are going to try to prevent
typhoid fever, diarrhoea, diseases
among infants, and other contagious
diseases, we must exterminate the
flies. Flies breed in filth and filth
alone. Without filth there can be no
flies Stable manure, garbage and out
houses are the chief sources from
which the flies come Prompt action
at this time may prevent many
deaths during the summer and fall
In ease of hardness or refusal to
comply with this request, the board
of health will issue orders to have
premises placed in sanitary condition
and the expense charged up to the
property. Every resident should have
sufficient pride in the appearance of
his home to render cheerfully the
aid the board of health demands.
Remember the date, Monday May
10, have everything in readiness and
there will be no further expense or
annoyance. 500

To Calculate Interest.

A rule often recommended for cal
culating interest for short periods is
as follows: To find the interest of
any given sum for any number of days,
multiply the principal by the number
of days and divide as follows: At 5
per cent, by u; at per cent, by 60;
at Z per cent, by 50; at 8 per cent, by
50, and at per cent, by 40.

Of the shooting Of Adcock here on

PARIS, June 15.-The French press
to-day reflects the belief that the
first real work given the league Of
nations to do has broken the creatures
back. Such is the attitude taken
toward the embarrassment Of the
council in the face Of the Persian
governments appeal for protection
against the on-marching Bolshevik
armies.
The Paris Midi" asserts that the
Persian appeal was the signal for the
outcropping of one of the numerous
differences of opinion between the
British and French governments. At
the council meeting France put her
foot down against any tampering with
existing agreements. The French view
is that England is eager to have the
league of nations take hand in the
Persian settlement as the London gov
ernment stands to gain something by
any. adjustment
lie Temps" says that the league can
neither negotiate with the Bolsheviki
nor compel them to obey it's edicts.
The sending of an international army
is impracticable, the newspaper holds,
and the only remaining solution would
be openly to give Great Britain a man
date to defend the Persians against
the Soviet troops.
