TWO SETS OF ORGANS
Man Can Swallow Water and
Then Battle in It.
Russian, "Discovered" by French Acad-
envy, Used Peculiar Talents to
Fool Germans During War.

Paris.-The French Academy of
Medicine, announces the discovery Of
what it terms a imam most fortunate
ly constructed physiologically for BRAY
ing the torrid heat wave" The man
is Vladimir BOlgarsky. formerly a cap
tain in the Russian army and since
the Bolshevist revolution a 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 in 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
by way of the mouths in the same con-
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 a shower.
Bolgarsky put his talents to good
use while fighting on the side Of the
allies. The Russians had an mpor-
tant battery well camou1aged, 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

was a traitor We shall not try to
argue here, of course, the matter of
whether he did right; that would
only bring up another issue of whe-
ther right referred to guilt or to un-
foreseen good or evil, etc. But this
much is certain: the question of whe-
Their any man is traitor depends
only on the accepted meaning of the
word, and a dictionary should suffice
for purely technical definitions.
But as we have said, it is more
practical still what ones antagonist
means, and test his conclusion, if
any, by this alone. II one declares
that happiness is the only goal in
living, find out whether he denotes
happiness for ones self alone, and
whether only physical pleasures. For
when we pracuice this we shall learn
that many differences of opinion are
imaginary.

BEST CATTLE STEADY; OTHERS
LOWER; LAMBS HIGHER

Knasas City Stock Yards, August
/ Is, 1921 Cattle receipts today were
the largest of the year, mostly Kan
sas, Oklahoma, and Texas, pastured
steers. Demand for fed gragdes,
wintered grass fat and the best
grades of grass fat steers was active
and fully steady. Half fat and COM
mon killers sold slowly at lower pric-
es, but the decline was modified by a
good stocker and feeder demand. Hog
prices were steady to 10 cents low
er. Lambs were rs cents higher.
Utah lambs sold up to $1,000.
Today's Receipts
Receipts today were 26,5O0 cattle,
$500 hogs, and $500 sheep compared
with 22,5OO cattle. 1900 hogs and
5000 sheep a week ago, and 21.SO0
cattle, 1850 hogs and $500 sheep a
year ago.
Beef Cattle
Trade in beef cattle started the
week in much the same position as
late last week. Best killing grades.
especially fed steers, were steady,
with the best time last week and the
palmer kinds were Is to Is cents
lower tina n last Wednesday. How
ever, there was good demand from
local killer and good outlet on
shipping orders. General. indica-
tions are that the market will con-
tinue to absorb liberal supplies read
lily. Killers are taking more cattle
than at any previous time this year,
and the feeder trade, which has ex-
banded materially, will act as check
to any further decline in the half fat
classes. Cows and heifers were Is
cents lower with trade quiet. Veal
calves were steady.
Stockers and Feeders
Inquiry for StOckefS aud feedrs was
fairly large with prices unchanged.
A good many thin steers and stock
cows are being sent into the north-
west sections that Las year had
drought conditions. Corn belt feed
ers are buying a good many fleshy
steers for short feeding
Hogs
Hog pri ices averaged steady to 10
cents lower. Rough classes showed
the decline. Smooth grades in prac-
tically all weights were in active Ge-
mand The top price was $500, and
bulk $500 to $685.. Pigs sold up to
$10.25. Shippers brought freely All
eastern markets closed lower.
Sheep and Lambs
Lambs were strong 10 IS cents
higher and sheep steady. Native
lambs sold up to $3.50, Arizonas
S1O.25, and Utah lambs, $3.50.
Wethers are quoted at S. Is to $3.50

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 a hole in the dyke with his
hand and saved Holland from flood was
a prototype Of tive-year-old Davey Nc
Cluskey of Harlem. Dayey's arm got
stuck in a fire hydrant for half an
hour before six firemen took the hy-
drant apart and freed him.
Davey and some chulns 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 it he couldn't, because Of
the suction. He didn't even whimper
while being rescued, and the tiremen
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.

GIVE YOUR OLD CLOTHES.

| With their cast-off clothes and dis
carded shoes, the people of this coun
ty are going to attempt to duplicate
for the orphan children of Armenia
and the refugee sufferers from war

with their cash gifts for the desti.

their lives.
To arrange for the local communi.
tvs part in great nationwide
clothes gathering effort in behalf OF
the struggling, half naked men, wo-
men and children of the Near East
Miss q. Fay Fowler, for four years
leader of Junior extension work for
the University of Idaho, is billed to
arrive here in the near future. Miss
Fowler is coming as the newly-ap-
pointed state director of the Near
East Relief Committee. This organ
ization is specially chartered by Con-
gress to feed the hungry, nurse the
sick, clothe the naked and help with
the reconstruction program through
out Western Asia, with funds con-
tributed by the American public.
"Our present effort in South Idaho
is to gather up the old clothes and
shoes to be found about nearly every
home" says Miss Fowler in an adj
vance notice of her coming, sent out
from Near East Relief headquarters
at Boise. With these we hope to
forestall a recurrence of last winters
sickening tragedies in the Near East.
Most any cast-off garments or shoes
in which there is still warmth and
wear, can be used in this great work.
Last winter thousands of little
children, bereft by war and massacres
of all who knew and loved them, and
homeless men and women, reduced to
skeletons by the ravages of hunger
and disease, died in the snow and
frozen mud of Armenia and the eau
casus, simply for the need of clothes

ONE X-RAY MENACE UNREAL
Rays Not Likely to lnjure Persons in
Adjoining Rooms, Says
Report.

Paris.-X-ray laboratories have betl
found to constitute but slight If ally
danger to persons in adjacent roohls.
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 a COM
mission after recent reports to the
Academy that X-rays were 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.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF
CROP CONDITIONS

Boise, Idaho, Aug. IT, Settled
summer weather with decidedly high
temperatures prevailed throughout
the state, in fact in some of the
northern counties it was the hottest
week OF the season. No general rain
occurred and many districts were
rainless, but in few scattered locali-
ties thunder showers gave some re-
lief from the heat and drought. In
most instances the amounts Of precip-
itation were small, too small to at
ford much help, but in Cassia colu-
ty an excessive dOwnpour occurred
accompanied by damaging fall of
hail. Hail damaged crops also in
Nez Perez and Bear Lake counties.
The weather was entirely favor
able for all irrigated crops, the heat
being particularly beneficial to the
maturing corn crop, but III the dry
farm sections the long continued
drought and intense heat of the past
week caused a marked decoration
in crop prospects. ln the panhandle
especially the crops are suffering

LESSONS IN STRAIGHT THINKING
(By Paul Morris, Authority en- Rea-
sOning.o

sOning.)
1t is our plan in writing these ar
ticles to warn the reader first Of all
against what he should not do in
thinking, partially by making clear
to him just how enormous a number
of traps of easoning-more than 100
are waiting for him. After arm
ing himself against these he can VEN
ture safely into the methods of con-
structive reasoning. This doesn' t
mean, of course, that we are going
to ask anyone to memorize several
score of fallacies and repeat them.
II he understands them as they are
illustrated the impression they make
on his mind will be sufficient to re-
call them one at time when seen
again.
To make simple start: Here is
an error which, strange to say, is
generally overlooked by textbooks on
logic and augmentation. 1t is what
we call Argument over definition, +"
and consists in disputing over what
an object, act, quality, etc., should
be called without attempting to come
to an agreement on what each dis
putant signifies by his words.
For example, we recently read in
a newspaper article discourse of
several paragraphs on the question,
What is Courage? as though it
could be settled by argument. The
thing was finally given up as one of
the unfathomable problems of meta
plysics-which, by the way-are
never SO mysterious as we often think
when they are approached from the
right angle.
Now as a matter of fact there is
only one way to settle a thing like
that conclusively, and that is, to get
a dictionary. OF course various die
tlonarles may vary a little in defini-
tons, and to that extent the mean
ing OF the word will always be fex-
lple. But Still meaning is determin-
ed by the best writers and sneakers
as they are generally accepted to he
ana words are mere labels or signs
which the world. under their leader
ship, uses to designate certain ideas.
Hence it is patiently absurd to argue
over a matter settled only by arbi-
trary custom. One can expect to GET
nowhere in discussion unless he is
speaking either of question of fact
or Truth outside of definition. or of
a matter of policy: those are the two
to remember.
But suppose that one person is
notify arguing that thing is So and
so and his friend continues to DISPUTE
II without getting anywhere. It's
an even venture that neither knows
just what the other is driving at: and
the thing to do in all cases where
mutual understanding of meaning is
not certain is, first of all, to come to
understanding of meaning. The
question of whether one is using the
wrong terms can be settled later
