EVENING PARTIES AND
CLUB DOINGS FOR WEEK

A number of social events last Fri
day evening kept most of Salmon's
population entertained.
Down at the Charles H. Rose home
the Methodist church Bible class met
when talks were given by Mr.. Pipes
and Mr.. Preston, games played, re-
freshments served and the evenings
pleasure completed with musical en-
tertainment.
At the Rex was home talent show
that drew crowded house. Every
number was a work of art. With such
talent in Salmon many more such pro-
ductions would be appreciated.
The second of the series of the pop
ular married peoples club dances took
place at Odd Fellows hail.
Mrs. M. L. Emigh entertained a
dozen of the high school boys at a
stag party. Waffles and roasted
weinies, the boys acting as cooks,
were served and original toasts by
each guest was given.
The Woman's club held meeting
last Saturday afternoon at the Com
mercial club rooms when current
events were the chief topic. 1t was
decided to have committee visit the
mayor and council to suggest the
ringing of the curfe wagain. Many
children, the mothers say, are out late
at night, perhaps because of interest
in the game or amusement they are
not aware of the time, With the ring
ing of the curfew this excuse could
not be used. Parents generally de-
sire the enforcement o fthis ordinance

CORN Ar PRESENT PRICE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Corn at
32 cents "A bushel is equal in value TO
coal al SIG ton, Secretary Wallace
said today. At twenty cents a buShel,
he said. corn would be equivalent 10
fuel coal at $40 ton.
in districts where corn Is cheap
now the coal Is OF a rather poor grade
and Is selling at high prices" be con-
tinued.
"Under such conditions II win pay
both farmers and people in country
towns TO use corn instead OF coal. Tn
doubtedly large quantities of corn will
be burned on western farms this win
ter, unless prices should materially
advance"
Mr.. Wallace said the use OF sur
plus grain as fuel in times of low
marketability was not an uncommon
occurrence in other cereal raising
countries.

Priest as Carpenter.

Rev. Father Mates of st. Charles
Catholic church has been engaged as
a carpenter for the past week or ten
days in reftting pews in the church,
which were donated from the Cath
edral in the state capital at Boise.
The seats were originally put togeth-
er with square or cut nails, which
were in vogue so years ago. BY cut
ting off those that were too long and
splicing the short pews the seating
capacity of st. Charles is amply pro-
vided IN this use of the old pews,
which afford not only an improvement
over the temporary seats in st.
Charles but also greater convenience
for the congregation.
Armistice day, November IL, is
the occasion for special services in all
Catholic churches, as ordered for the
dioces of Idaho. st. Charles will OBJ
serve the day.

Snow Shoes for Horses.
letter from Haley says:

A letter from Haley says:
Snowshoes for horses are not a
common object, even in this country
of snow, so that a horse snowshoe
which Hobert Beamer found in his re-
cent hunting trip and brought home
with him, is attracting considerable
attention. He picked it up on Marble
creek on the old Thunder Mountain
trail, so that it is probably a relic of
the mining rush to that country many
years since.
The shoe is made of iron and is
about 81ax10 inches in size. 1t is a
disc slightly curved, with holes for
the calks of the shoe and adjustable
clamps both in front and behind to
hold it in place. Mr.. Beamer found
several where they had been discard
ed, but whether they did not prove
useful or the melting snow made their
use unnecessary, could not be. deter
mined. That they are of compara-
lively recent origin is proven by the
fact that they were patented in 1906.

The Waybaek sehoolhouse.

An educational report issued by
Columbia university shows that 81
100000 children or one-half the school
population Of the United States are
being educated in one or two-room
buildings of the "deestriet" type. OF
this number about 100000 have
some work to do so that the average
daily attendance is only about 65 per
cent of the enrolment, compared to
the average city attendance Of so per
cent. The report also shows that the
average city school year has iS7 lays
while in rural districts IT is only 1877
days. As one result Of 'shis condition
illiteracy is twice as great in the
country as in the city.

Grazing Fees Reduced.

BOISE, Ida, Nov. 4.-Idaho-s stare
board of land commissioners WedneS-
day in special session reduced the
rentals on grazing lands in the state
from 10 cents nacrc to Z cents an
acre. The new rental rate will be
effective January I, 1922.
The cut applies to all leases which
are now in force. All new leases en-
tered into between the state and stock
men will be based upon the value of
the land, and in no instance shall any
lease be issued for less than the min
imum price of cents an acre.

A MANS PRAYER.

Let me live, oh, Mighty Master,
Such life as men should know.
Tasting triumph and disaster,
Joy-and not too much of woe;
Let me run the gamut over,
Let me fight and love and laugh,
And when I'm beneath the clover
Let this be my epitaph;
Here lies one who took his chances
In the busy world of men;
Battled luck and circumstances,
Fought and fell and fought again!
Won sometimes, but did no Growing.
Lost sometimes, but didn't wall,
Took his Beating, but kept going
Never let his courage fall.
He was mallible and human,
Therefore loved and understood
Both his fellow men and women,
Whether good or not so good;
Kept his spirit undiminished,
Never lay down on a friend,
Played the game till it was finished,
Lived sPoTtman TO the end.
From the Postoffice Clerk

publican side as 10 be almost negligi-

votes are therefore necessary TO in
sure ratification.
Senate Different Now.
The senate situation is accordingly
obviously different so far as the pres
ent administration is concerned with
foreign affairs than it was when Mr..
Wilson presided at the White House
and directed the activities of the state
department and replaced one secre-
tary of state with another whenever
he failed to grasp the Wilsonian pur-
pose and view point.
And it is knowledge of this changed
situation which is believed to have re-
kindled the hopes and desires of Great
Britain, France and Italy for partic-
ipation in the league of nations--not a
Wilson-Llyod George-C ! e m n ca u
league, but Harding Hughes-Hoov-
er-Lodge league-by the United
States as a sequel to, or perhaps the
direct outcome Of the armament linn
itation conference.
II is not denied that the represen-
tatives of these nations are coming to
the conference not with these hopes
and desires merely as by-thoughts of
verbal suggestion or discussion, but in
the form of carefully prepared and
strictly confidential memoranda as TO
how far the British, French and Ital-
ian governments are prepared to ac-
cede to structural changes in the
league covenant.

/, Tanele of Red Tame.

James Worthington, representing
the federal land bank, is in Lemhi
this week on business of checking up
pending loans, which have been long
delayed. 1t is ascertained that the
actual money sought will be in sight
very soon, the delay having been oc-
casioned by a number of minor de-
faults in previous loans, affording
enough red tape to make the tangle.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. Wher
writing be sure and mention this paper.

port made Thursday by Examiner Dis
que. The case, which was brought by
livestock shippers in the Western
states and in which several state com

Rates on certain commodities are

the examiner said, adding. however,
that a reduction in rates on traffic in
general seems unwarranted at this
time.
The report said that although rates
on livestock were not excessive when
judged from strictly transportation
standpoint, they "are unreasonable
from an economic standpoint" The
livestock industry, the report said.
would be materially helped by a re-
duction in rates because the cost Of
getting to market is substantial item.
