New York. Nov. 5.-The farmer boy.

this winter. They will replace some
OF the swagger young men who have
been posing several seasons for the ar

Germs have concluded that the orchid
is not the flower of young American
manhood. and they are going in for
sun flowers.
They say the buying public docsn' t

But now they are going to show the

YELLOW RAIN SEEN IN SPRING
PINK SNOW RARE PHENOMENON

If one should happen to see yell
low rain or a pink snow he might
doubt whether it was himself or ma
ture that had gone wrong, but he
would be pretty certain to fancy an
impending doom of some kind. Yet
such things do occur-the yellow rains
every spring, in some places; the
pink snow but rarely. The Weather
Bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture explains them.
Yellow rains are due to pollen, es-
pecially from coniferous trees These
trees bear, early in the spring, great
quantities of yellow pollen which is
easily blown off by the winds or
beaten off by rain. 1t is light and
floats on the puddles and branches
caused by rain. Most Of it prob
ably was on the ground before the
rain came, and largely in the low
places where the wind would drift it,
but not observed because compnra-
lively small in quantity and more or
less like the dead leaves and other
trash in color. 1t is not seen before
the rain, but is seen lightly covering
the puddles aud lining the branches
during and after the rain, and go the
average observer concludes it must
have come down with the rain. Then
too it is yellow like powdered sulphur,
and burns. That settles it! There
certainly has been n rain of sulphur.
Then the weather man gets an anr-
ious letter, and has the pfearurc of
allaying someone's useless fears.

the subject as the facts were
gathered from the records, then the
Republican party will have to answer
to the people of this county for such
mismanagement as has been revealed
and for the depreciation of warrants
and lack of funds to meet obliga-
tions, to keep the roads in repair and
all the other handicaps the county
is now suffering from shortage Of
funds.
This editor while apologizing for
the assessor says he is not paid a
high enough salary and that private
business handling as much of re-
sponsibility as does our assessor,
would receive a salary of $4,000 a
year and have an army of assistants
besides. The writer of those state
ments probably forgot that if his
words were true, Assessor Malcolm
would get such job as quickly as
possible and hold it as long as he
could. His statements fall to the
ground excepting for such use as
members of the apologists wish to
make of them, and they are showing
their colors and their lack Of judg-
ment by repeating them
The editorial writer says that
Bingham county has no right to ex-
pect good service for insufficient pay;
that the county has been getting in
finitely more in this important office
than it was willing to pay for, and
that it is to the credit of the asses
sor that he did not make any re-
prisals," which, being interpreted,
means, embezling moneys.
Quite Bolshevistic stuff this, to
spread over the county in justifica-
ton of neglect of duty and turning in
what members of the tax commission
pointed to as padded expense bills"
arising from practice which the as
SCISSOR told the commission, the cen
trail committee and the board of COM
missioners to their teeth that he pro-
posed to keep on doing. Then the
writer sums it all up by saying:
Were all guilty of whatever guilt
there is; why not wipe it all off the
slate and start anew"
Let's see now; that's what party
in Europe has been saying and
squirming about since November H.,
1918 and that subject has been fill
ing the headlines of the daily papers
for some time and if you look on to-
morrow mornings headlines it will
be there yet in some form. Who says
all the propaganda is made in
Germany"

During the world war the Red

asked whether the loss of that part
of the taxes was to be taken out of
the assessors bond or theirs. The
cattle that were shipped to the Mis-
souri, river or to the coast and were
now killed, canned or eaten would
not be back again for assessment,
and it was not right to add that much
to other mems taxes. The commits
sioners replied that they would fix all
those matters in due course of time,
and with these mutual compliments
and smiles the four men separated.

This was in July, 1909, when
Champlain made his memorable
voyage up the lake now called
after him.
The first permanent settle
ment was made in 1924 at Brat
tleboro, where the Massachusetts
colony established a fort as
buffer against invasion. from the
north. The territory used was
part Of what was known as the
Equivalent Lands" which were
sold at public auction in Hart
ford for about a farthing an
acre, the proceeds being donated
to Yale college. Shortly after
this, settlers pushed eastward
from New York across Lake
Champlain and westward from
New Hampshire. This led to dis

such a brilliant part during the
Revolution.
In 1777 formal Constitution

Vermonters are proud of the fact
that theirs was the first of the
states to prohibit slavery by
constitutional provision. For
number Of years Vermont re-

but in 1871 1t was admitted to
the Union as the first addition to
the original thirteen states.
In size Vermont has 1854
square miles, and it's congress

It thus casts four votes for the

BRAKEMAN AND FIREMAN HELD
 IN CONNECTION NW|THMURDER
 OF ESPEE RAILWAY ENGINEER

County Attorney J. C. Fuller, who conducted the case for the state, ad mitted the states case IS entirely cir cumstantial, and thar thus far no possible motive for the crime has been found. The state, the county at torney said. relies principally on ex- pert testimony that Bohlman was killed before the explosion and also testimony that appears to indicate discrepancies in Robinson's statement as to how he got off the train.
 Physicians estimate the engineer must have been dead at least 20 min utes before the explosion occurred, or sufficiently long for the blood to CO., agulate.
 Justice Yates, who presided at the inquest, testified Robinson told him first that somebody knocked him from the engine and later that he was roll ing cigaret and lost consciousness in a manner he knew not how This the coroner testified the fireman said occurred three or four miles east oi the scene of the explosion which, al the speed the train ~as traveline would put him off the engine not more l than 12 minutes before Bohlman'. body was hurled through the cal window

that a pardon might mean the switch ing of a block of delegates.
 "Tell him." Taft sent back word, that I'm not trading murderers for delegates.
 Poor politics? Certainly: but typi- cal of the absolute integrity and incorruptibility of the man who now ascends the supreme bench
 Men who have been closest to Taft in a personal way swear by him as the cleanest-minded, most mentally wholesome individual they ever knew in public life.
 His break with Roosevelt came most nearly developing an acid trace in his character, but that was not so much because of it's effect on him personally as because he saw in Roosevelt's campaign of 1912 an at tempt to wreck the Republican party On the evening of election day 1912, when word was carried to him that he had been defeated. he laughed

 A letter was sent to President Har- ding expressing disappointment felt by the members of the legion over the stand taken by the president on the adjusted compensation bill before congress. The letter in part says: We feel deeply your attitude to- wards the adjusted compensation bill. when in 1917 we offered you and America all we had to preserve for you and your heritage the country over which you are president.

stricken from the roster of presiden- tial elisibles.
 Taft's work as a member of the
 War Labor Board, during the war, did much to ailay opposition to his
 supreme bench appointment on the
 theory that he was ultra -conserva- tive. His decisions on the board
 were, in the main, more satisfactory
 to labor than the employers.
 In the eight years since lie left the
 White House, Taft has been a pro- lessor of constitutional law at Yale,
 an editorial writer for Philadelphia newspaper and joint chairman of the War Labor Board. He has lived
 simply. but happily.
 His wife. who was in poor health during most of his term at the White
 House. is again enjoying fine health. Both his boys. Bob and Charley. are practicing law in Cincinnati and are
 happily married. Helen. only recent 1 ly married. has been acting dean at Bryn Mawr.
 With his family thus happily set- 1 tied, the appointment that takes Taft back to the bench-the career of his choice-and in the highest judicial | position anywhere, brings to him, naturally. the utmost satisfaction. | Taft's appointment came at the | time he had completed arbitration of the valuation of the Canadian Trunk Lines, preparatory to their being I taken over by the Canadian govern ment. He plans, however. to spend 1 the summer with Mrs. Taft at their
 summer home on Murray Bay, on the St. Lawrence river, coming to Wash l ington early in the fall.
