IRepubiican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec 21.-The 400- foot army airship Roma fought her way for five hours and a half against a head wind from Langley field. Vir- ginia, to Washington today to be christened and put in commission of Ecially by Miss Fonrose Wainwright. daughter of the assistant secretary of war. who broke a bottle of liquid air on the airship's prov.
 Secretary Weeks, Secretary Denhy and Senator Ricci, the Italian ambas- sador, who participated in the cere- monies, waited for three hours in the chilling winds for the ship. They were to have taken flight in her of an hour or two over the city and to Baltimore with other invited guests,
 but the wind was rising steadily with gale proportions threatening and
 Major General Patrick, chief of the
 army air service, ordered the Roma
 back to the hangar at Langley field as soon as she could be refueled.
 The great craft arrived at Boiling
 field and left at 2:30, scurrying home with the wind behind her in two hours and 40 minutes.
 A crowd of guests and officers awaited the arrival of the country's largest lighter than air ship from g o'clock, impatiently trying to keep warm. Finally the ship was reported ] over Alexandria, progressing slowly against a stiff head wind with three of her motors frozen.
 Landing Proved Big Task Suddenly toward the southwest she appeared, scarcely distinEuishable. 1 Gradually her hulk loomed up and | she headed for the field, with her mo-
 tors roaring. Approaching quite low l she reached the center of the field put her nose down and slowly settled ! A door in the "V'' shaped keel flew l open and a coil of rope dropped to the handling crew. All hands took
 hold and slowly the great craft came down. The wind swung the great
 ship back and forth. as the men strained at the rope, while stay wires with cables attached were
 dropped to other men. Finally she was landed. But she did not stand
 still, swaying back and forth ant
 carrying the men clinging to tn,
 ropes with her.
 Then followed the christening b, Miss Wainwright, who stood on {
 step ladder under the great curvinr
 bows, as she broke the bottle of liuuit air. The old ensign then was re
 placed by new one presented by tn, Italians and hoisted high on tn, stern.

PLAN TO CHARGE NO
t ADMISSION TO GROUNDS

The state fair closed Saturday. The
Friday crowd was half that of for
mer years. one of the principal reas-
,ns alleged was ''the high cost of
sseing the fair" Grand stand seats
were 81 and the man with a large
family of children, took his place
alongside the fence, instead. This
is not satisfactory At the same time
fair officials talk as though the old
soc admission to see the attractions
of the state fair is thing of the
past, gone with the 10c picture show
and the soc circus--never to return.
One director of the Boise fair says
a plan will be suggested next year to
charge no admission and $1.00 for
the grand stand, which would be a
better plan than this year-for this
year many thought there was but
little entertainment outside the grand
stand area.

MERIDIAN BOYS PLACE
INSTRUCTIONS ON TRACK

Warrants were issued for the ar
rest OF Clyde Ball. Is, and Daniel
Highley. 16, both of Meridian, last
Wednesday night. on complaint OF
w. II. Edgley. special agent OF the
Oregon Short Line. The charge was
placing distractions OF steel bars
across the railroad track near Merid-
ian Tuesday afternoon. Train No.
1870, due TO leave Boise at o'clock
and arriving at the east end OF the
Meridian railroad yards where the
obstruction was placed---would have
struck the iron, had 1t not been re-
moved and might have caused SER
ions wreck.
A little girl, who witnessed the af-
fair, identified the youths. They con-
fessed the crimeor at least Higkley
did, but Ball in the meantime had
disappeared and had not been found
up to last evening. The warrants for
their arrest was issued by Justice
w. H. Peer and he says the case is
one for the probation officers. He says
the testimony shows that the two
boys started hunting and when about
500 yards east OF Meridian, placed
two steel bars across the track. One
of the bars, orakebeam, was five
feet long and four inches thick The
other was four feet long and four
inches thick
Neither of the boys is mentally strong
and this is just one of series of diff
culties which the officers have had
with boys Of this kind. The regret
table feature of the whole thing is
that each crime is a little bit worse
than the one before.
1t is said that Clyde Ball left note
at home saying that he had taken
rat poison to end it all, but this was
not given much credit by those who
seem to know that Clyde would not
do such thing.

Death CT while shoepe.

Willie Schoepe, son OF Joseph and
Annie Schoepe, was born in Medford,
Wis, October 80. 1910, and died Oct.
II, 1921, age 10 years, IL days. When
he was about one year old he was
christened in the German Lutheran
church in Medford, Wis, and by that
act became member of that church.
The family moved to Meridian in
1915 which has since been his home.
Entering the schools he made his
grades nicely and was in the 5th at
the time of his death. Some three
months ago he was operated on for
appendicitis, was over the operation
nicely, when he took the typhoid
fever. which terminated In his death.
1t is not hard to understand why
the aged are taken away. The race of
life is run. Their work is done. But
the children--why, We do not know.
But the assurance is ours--they are
safe In that land where sin and suf-
fering are unknown. and the weary
are at rest.
Beside the parents he leaves six
brothers and three sisters. niece
and nephew, and many others to
mourn his loss. want to assure this
family of the sympathy OF the COM
munity in the loss sustained and may
the God of all comfort heal the
wounds now made.
The funeral took place from the
M. e. church Monday afternoon, Rev.
G. A. Quinn officiating. Burial was In

PRICE OF WHEAT is
NOT SO ENCOURAGING

The price of wheat is off this week
and s1.25 is being paid for No. soft
against $1.40 ten days age. The reason
given is the enrmous amount of
wheat that is being dumped on the
market just now. Growers seem TO
prefer to take low price rather than
to do without the money to be reali-
zed from the sale. This however has
bad effect on the market.

Claim Sleep Sickness
Germ Has Been Isolated

Milwaukee.-What is claimed
by scientists to be the first COM
plete isolation Of the germ OF
sleeping sickness was announced
here by DR.. William Thalhimer
of Milwaukee, who, in conJunc-
ton with a number Of physi-
clans, conducted a clinic OF q
years duration at the Columbia
hospital.
The results of the clinic. 1t
was announced, showed that q
minute organism was RESPONSE
BILE for the dread disease, and
that the physicians had been
able to completely isolate and
propagate the microbe.
1t is believed that cure for
the disease may result from the
experiments, though this Is not
yet claimed by the Milwaukee
doctors.
The scientists are ut work
now on the preparation Of a
serum to combat the disease.

other prehistoric animals will be

SOMETHING TO

three parts Of the body which longest
resist the disintegration which follows
death are the teeth, the finger nails
and the hair, and of these the last
two are very nearly Of the same char
acter.
Which Is getting some little way
distant from the contention that
blonde women are not fit for jury duty
because they are tickle.
Dido, queen Of Carthage, Of whom
Virgil writes In the Aeneid, was not
tickle, although she IVES a blonde. She
stuck to her hero through thick and
thin and killed herself with a sword
that he furnished.
Cleopatra, who had red hair, a
shade darker than the real blonde
was not what one might call absolute
ly constant in her devotions, but In
modern society she might not be listed
as extremely tickle.
But the Analysing of society, ancient
or modern, according to the color of
the hair, would not furnish very sub.
stantial basis for judging either WON
en- or men, blondes or brunettes.
It is what is Just under their hair
that establishes the real qualifications
for any sort Of duty.
Brains are all one color.
If the color Of hair determined
ability what would become of the I'M
fortunates who haven't any hair al

Never mind about your hair, young
lady readers. Don't bother about Its
color, and don't spend too much time

II you are to be anxious about any
thing, be anxious about the inside OF
your head instead Of the outside
That's the side that counts.
