Previous To 1907 there were no cpidcmics OF

disease has reached epidemic proportions on
several occasions In both the United States
and Canada and in the past year two. 1t

SUNDAY SCHOOL ENJOYS
OUTING At MOUNTAIN FOOT

A scene of irresistible beauty, the
sunshine over the hills the cool noun
ain air, and last but not least the
freedom of unrestrained happiness and
laughter, all these and more delight
ed the young people Of the Presby-
terrain Sunday school Sunday last.
The young people were invited by
Superintendent and Mrs. Eldridge to
their summer home at the foot of the
Moscow mountain, and the program
given them went off with eclat. A
luncheon was served.
The shady woods offered a delight
full ramble There was plenty of ma
ture and plenty of natures fauna and
flora. A happy afternoon was spent
and in the early evening all gathered
around the Camp Fire, and enjoyed
an inspirational vesper service led by
Dean Eldridge. The scholars, say
''as we babe our host and hostess good
night we felt grateful to them for
their genial hospitality and shall re-
member the day as one we'll spent
and filled with enjoyment and pleas
ure."

.FARNUM APPEARS HERE
IN DOMESTIC MELODRAMA

Followers of William Farnum-and
they are legion-will find fine enter
tainment in his latest picture, His
Greatest Sacrifice" which will open
at the Liberty Theatre Wednesday.
In this story Mr.. Farnum's superb
acting ability, which has been a great
asset to the screen, stands out more
clearly than usual. He has a big
dramatic part as the successful writer
whose wife leaves him and their child
so that she can give all her time to
her own advancement on the operate
stage.
His Greatest Sacrifice" brings up
question quite common in modern
times-should wife have a career
that interferes with the welfare of her
husband, her home and her child?
The question is answered in telling
fashion in the photoplay. Still, those
see it may have a different opinion.
1t makes stirring drama and pulls
hard at the heartstrings.

COUNTY ASSESSORS ARE
NOW LOW IN SIX COUNTIES

County Assessor E. j. Gemmell is
expected home from the state equali-
cation board at Boise shortly. He is
visiting some friends on the return
journey. AS far as could be learned
Tuesday respecting the equalization
by counties there is no mention of
of Latah county in the official lists,
as subject to a raise because of in
equality of taxation. The counties
mentioned are Minidoka, Madison,
Jerome, Twin Falls, Kootenai, and
Benewah.
1t will be remembered that when
the report of the county commission
ers sitting as board of equalization
here was published in this newspaper,
the only decreases made were in re-
spot to lumber sections. The valua-
tons had decreased because a num-
Der of the properties had been cut
over and had served their usefulness,
thus making decrease. Each county
assessor is supposed to set valuations
in his county as near as possible to
those set by the safe board in session
the year before.
The announcement published last
week indicates that in the counties
where low assessments had been re-
ported the same would be raised to
the averages set by the board as
stated and that the inequalities obtain
only on agricultural lands.

STICKS IN FIRE HYDRANT
Boy Is Held Prisoner by Suction Half
Hour-Six Firemen Work
to Free Him.

New York. - The Dutch boy who
plugged up hole in the dyke with his
hand and saved Holland from food was
a prototype Of five-year-old Davey Nc
Cluskey Of Harlem. Davey's arm got
stuck in a fire hydrant for half an
hour before six tiremen took the ny
drant apart and freed him.
Davey and some chums found the
cap of the hydrant loose and I'M
screwed it. Davey showed his left arm
in up to the shoulder. When he tried
to withdraw ii he couldn't, because Of
the suction. He didn't even whimper
while being rescued and the tremen
shook hands with him and called him
a game little kid
But McCluskey, ST., happened along,
and Davey's reward was different
from that of the Dutch boy.

TWO SETS OF ORGANS
Man Can Swallow Water and

Russian, "Discovered" by French Acad-

Fool Germans During War.

Paris.-The French Academy Of
Medicine, announces the discovery Of
what it terms imam most fortunate

ing the torrid heat wave" The man
is Vladimir Bolgarsky, formerly cap
tain in the Russian army and since
the Bolshevist revolution refugee in
Paris. According to the report Boil
garsky has dual personality Of d.
gestive organs"
The multiplicity of talents possessed
by these organs lend themselves to
many practical uses. For instance,
shower baths are scarce and over
patronized III Paris at present, but
this does not annoy Bolgarsky. He
simply drinks 80 glasses of ice water,
which feat occupies him some three
minutes, then, being thus cooled in
side his trick organs return the water

ditiOn as when swallowed, and with
such force and velocity that the
stream rises to a height of six feet.
falling back upon him in tiny needle
like jets like shower.
Bolgarsky put his talents to good
use while fighting on the side of the
allies. The Russians had an impor-
tant battery we'll camouflaged, but be-
ing worried that the Germans might
discover it, they constructed dunn
my battery at some distance. Bolgar-
sky was placed in well-protected spot
in front of the dummy battery and,
having smoked many packages Of Gig
arettes and swallowed the smoke, he
emitted smoke in such spurts that the
Germans concentrated the fire on the
dummy instead of the real battery.

FARMERS UNION REPORT
SHOWS AVERAGE 58-61

Manager George Sievers of the Far
mers Union warehouse when seen at
his office, Tuesday, by a Star-Mirror
man said that wheat was coming into
all the houses and that the grain was
of good average quality going to and
from 81 to 81 pounds to the bushel
While these averages had been main
tanned this and the past week the
average in the fields per bushel had
gone from 80 to 35. Some consign-
ments had averaged 40 but as a gen
eral average he thought the yields
would go 30 bushels to the acre.
This was a good average predic-
tion," he stated. 1.-The union ware
housemen were all busy. The thresh-
ing machines referred to by the Star
Mirror last week, as we'll as the
tractors were running splendidly.
The Racines and the Titans were and
had been subjects of experiments but
all had done the work WELL The far
mers coming into the warehouses had
expressed great satisfaction with the
work done and what was more the
work had been done economically"
Little damage was recorded as a
result of Sundays storm. Work was
resumed the next day without mis-
maps. This is a busy time at the Far
mers Union offices and warehouses,
and every assistant in the office is
overtime.

Report.

Paris.-X-ray laboratories have been
danger to persons in adjacent ROOMS.
A report to the Academy of Medicine
held that modern appliances and con-
ditions generally existing in X-ray
rooms sufficiently protect all but the
operators.
The report was prepared by COM
mission after recent reports to the
Academy that X-rays were a serious
menace to people in buildings housing
laboratories. 1t was contended that
the rays would penetrate walls with
force enough left to cause serious in
jury. This contention was found by
the commission to be i'll founded.

house situation in Moscow, one might
be. surprised to know that the stu
adOn in the California university city

"a house through a friend and wired
the agent whose name was mentioned
to hold the house until he arrived.
The answer came back 1--WE hold no
houses, if you want us to hold wire
$500" And the professor wired the
money to hold a house.

Cause of Appendicitis.

When the bowels are constipated,
the lower bowels or large intestines be-
come packed with refuse matter, that
is made up largely of germs. These
germs enter the vermiform appendix
and set up inflammation, which is
commonly known as appendicitis.
Take Chamberlain's Tablets when
needed and keep your bowels regular

NEvADA's- DISPLAY
EXCITES INTEREST

The following article concerning
Mrs. Alma Freeman,formerly of YER
ington, appeared i'll the Salt Lake
Tribune:
Although Nevada's art exhibit was
delayed in arriving here and was not
hung at the Newhouse hotel until june
18th. the pictures and displays of In
dian basketry have since that time at
tracted unusual attention. All of the
landscapes have been pronounced to
have exceptional merit, and the por-
trait work of Alma Freeman has re-
ceived unusual praise Mrs. Freeman's
style is original and her expression is
pronounced remarkable by critics.
Mrs Freeman is 20 years Of age
and has not had the opportunity to
study under any of the well known
masters. All of her art knowledge
is said to have been realized through
her individual efforts. Art critics
who have studied her work at the ex-
hibit at the Newhouse hotel this week
have been quoted as saying that her
originality will undoubtedly some day
make her one of the best known of the
western artists.

LOCAL FARMERS WANT MEN

Farm Bureau says. opportunities
are good for idle men to secure employ
ment in Mason and Smith valleys this
summer. At least 500 men will be re-
CURED to put up the hay, potato, grain
and beet crops in the two valleys.
This will afford employment from now
until late in November. Smith Val
ley started cutting one OF the largest
alfalfa crops in several years last week
and farmers in Mason valley COM
mence today on what promises to be a
bumper crop of hay.
Predictions have been made that the
Mason Valley potato crop will be dou-
bic that OF last year. Handling the
potato and grain crops together with
the 900 acres Of sugar beets being
grown for the Lahontan Valley Sugar
Co. will provide steady employment
whenever the haying season slackens.
Most OF the big outfits are now
handling their hay with the most I'M
proved mechanical dcvises which light
ems the labor and does the work more
efficiently.
