CLIENTS STORE ROBBED
Over Two Thousand Dollars Worth
OF Goods Taken And Supposedly
Hauled Away In Trucks

PHILIPPI, w. VA, Nov 9Th -
A very daring store robbery took
place here Thursday night when the
general store of Lloyd Glen was en-
tered from the rear and about $4,000
worth of goods taken therefrom and
hauled away.
This morning when the clerks en-
tered the store they found things
strewn all around in every direction.
Upon investigation they soon discov-
cred what had happened and found
where the truck had been backed UP
on the railroad behind the store. Pre-
sumably the goods had been loaded
in and hauled away.
Things of every variety were taken
from shirts to overcoats, suits, shoes
both for ladies and gentlemen, ladies
hose, underwear, ties and different
small articles.
The state police are here today
working on the case and may develop
something in the near future.
The entrance was forced by break
ing out panel in the rear door and
then Unlocking it. 1t is supposed that
the job was pulled in the wee small
hours of the morning and the goods
hauled away. j

Ben E. Bush of Moscow, state land

here ON Tuesday nights train to id

that had arose over the tapping of ap-
plications for leasing state lands in
this county.
: Applications for leases, a number
of them for the same land, situated in
the Boles district, across the Salmon
river, had been received by the state
land department and Mr.. Bush was
sent here to untangle the difficulty
there being no prior rights entering
into the proposition. which would
have made settlement easy.
After discussing the matter it was
found that an agreement between the
applicants was impossible, and there
was nothing for the state agent to dc
but put the leases up at auction, the
principal contestants being, LvaI
Price and Mrs. Lula Lancaster.
Mr.. Price desired an 80-acre tract
out of one section for agricultural
purposes and Mrs. Lancaster wanted
the entire section for grazing. Whe1
the auction opened the bidding became
quite spirited and Mr.. Price was fore
ed to pay 20 cents per acre for ON,

SiIage for Sheep.

Corn silage free from mold and not
too old, promotes thrift and keeps the
digestive tract in condition. While the
amount that has been fed successfully
to pregnant ewes varies from one to
five pounds, a safe rule is to feed two
pounds per head daily in combination
with alfalfa hay. After lambing, the
proportion can he increased.
A number of Idaho range men make
the practice Of reserving the silage
until after lambing time This Is I'm
order that the milk now may be In
creased as the lamb grows larger.
1t is only recently that the value

ing the cost Of fattening sheep has
been recognized. In checking results
with seven trials, it was foond that
100 pounds of good corn silage saved
eight pounds of corn and "A pounds Of
clover hay. Counting corn at cents
per pound and clover hay at $15 per
ton, silage had a value of $11.40 uer
ton. Besides cheapening the gains by
the addition Of silagc, better finish
was usually the result, although not
always. In feeding both cattle and
sheep. the result depends largely upon

The presence Of number OF cases
Grangeville the first of the week
prompted the necessity of formulating
and meeting the emergency of an epi-
demic, and acting on instructions re-
ceived from the state board of health
Mayor Campbell called a meeting of
the board of health of the City OF
Grangeville, consisting of DIR. B. Chip
man, chairman, and councilmen Lingo
and Riutcel, to meet with the physi-

ming. The county superintendent, Su
perintendent Lukens, and Mrs. b. Lam
ningham representing the local chapter
of the Red Cross were present.
The sentiment of all who were pres
ent, including local physicians, was
that prompt and strict measures be
taken to prevent the epidemic from be-
coming serious. And as a first pre-
caution DIR. Chapman stated that
quarantine of all reported cases in the
city would be had, and requested the
doctors to report all cases and at the

along, and tend strictly to their bust
ness, not to gather in public places

as soon as possible to Dr. Chipman
and above all to observe the quaran-
tine when families were quarantined
The increasing number of children
