junior church, the membership of
which is limited to persons between
six and sixteen years old, with the
preacher the only adult present, is
being successfully operated in this
city. The plan was inaugurated by
the Rev. N. S. Sichterman of Grace
Presbyterian church., a
According to Dr. Sichterman, there
are sixty children ranging in age
from six to sixteen years who are
members OF the junior organization.
They have their own room for SER
vices, which are of thirty minutes
duration, and have their own officers.
The plan was put into operation in
January and DR.. Sichterman is so
pleased with the results that he ex-
poets to double the membership.
DR.. Sichterman said the idea of
forming a Junior church developed
from his experiences in church while
a boy.

and the sermons sometimes lasted two
hours or more. will remember
how tired and restlesslI would get
as the time dragged on, for the SER
mon, while appealing to adults, was
not such as would appeal to the child.
1T was this experience which gave
birth to the junior church idea, and

ton. The, results have been crafty

sufficient, for it keeps the children In

text of the sermons are such that will
appeal to the child mind"
DR.. Sichterman said he had started
the children into engage in three
minute talks and hoped eventually to
have some of them take turns at
preaching.

New York, April ia dead man
has put a dead town on the map.
This feat has been accomplished
through publication of series of let
ters written by the late O. Henry
short story writer, to Miss Mabel
Wagnalls, daughter of the publisher.
The collection is called Letters to
Lithopolis."
Miss Wagnalls lives in the old
ters written by the late o. Henry
in Gramercy Park not far from Madi-
son Square. But she takes her sum
mer vacations in Lithopolis, Ohio.
Its a real place." she said today,
'4hut don't look for it from any rail-
road train window 1t isn't theSe.
"LithopOlis stands alone, little
distance from Columbus, maintaining
an aloofness, an exclusiveness, that
is unmatched by any other cluster of
frame houses radiat1ng around one
block trading area of one-story shops.
There are $50 inhabitants in ,Lith-
opolis. Their 20S houses are kept in
repair, but new house is never
added. People never move to Lith-
opolis, but they can't help being
born there.
There are more graves than hous.
es and people"
In 1908, when o. Henry was still
an unknown quantity, Miss Wagnalls
wrote him a letter to find out
whether he was related to a branch
OF her family. She asked if he were
man, woman or wrath. He answered
and the reply was forwarded to
Miss Wagnalls at Lithopolis.
This is the autobiography he sent:
"Texas cowboy. Lazy. Thought
writing stories might be easier than
busting bronchos. Came to New
York one year ago to earn bread, but
ter, jam, and possibly asparagus that
way" -.t.t..
The name Lithopolis appealed to
O. Henry. It stimulated his imagina-
ton. He began to write about its peo-
pie.
"The best character in town." Miss
Wagnalls says, "was the tombstone
lady. When other girls were embroid-

SHOULD SPARROWS BE KILLED9
"RUBE" ANDERSON SAYS NO
Council Divided Over Policy Concern
ing Winter Birds -AIledged That
They Kill Off More Desirable
Varieties.

The city council is divided over the
issue SHOULD the sparrows be killed
Maurice Myers, the Mayor, Charley
johnson, all say they are nuisance.
They eat wheat and grains instead of
worms, they kill off the robbins, snow
birds and other more desirable vari-
ties, and serve no useful purpose. At
torney Reuben Anderson comes to
their support. "The mere fact that they
are able to survive our hard winters
leads men to believe that they should
be protected he says. "The law of the
survival of the fittest applies to this
issue. If the sparrow is the harder
bird let him live"
John Mehlhaff is in favor of the
sparrow. He rather likes the little
bird which always stays around to add
to the joys of winter. The Women's
Club declared was against them early
in the year but took no active part
against them.
But why worry. County Agent Nor
rel has killed them all off with a few
poisoned grains of wheat that the other
birds wouldn't eat Is this another
case of the survival of the fittest?

RUDEEN OPPOSES
TAX ON WHEAT
Claims Assessment on Wheat in Ele-
vatOr Second Monday in January
Would Be Double Levy ON Farmer.
(By Carl Rudeen).

How the Deficiency of taxes result
ing from the Reclamation Service are
to be raised.
Our county officials have brought
about new method of raising more
taxes, to meet the deficiency caused by
purchases by the Reclamation Service.
All grain companys as we'll as farmers
who had grain on hand on the second
Monday of January will be assessed
and will be obliged to pay taxes upon
same which will amount to about 8
cents per bushel, if their plans are
carried out. To make it fair they will
probably assess all grain held on the
farms with the exception of feed and
seed.
Most of the grain, of course, at this
time of the year has been bought and
is held by the grain companies in the
city elevators, which will come under
the city levies and at &c per bushel for
all the grain which was in the Ameri-
can Falls elevator on January 8, will
result close around $10,000.00 in taxes
an amount sufficient to take up the
$1O,0OO.0O deficiency caused by the
Reclamtion Service.
The point to get at is who will this
burden fall upon. 1t will either fall
upon themselves, the buyer or the
farmer. Can it be that the grain COM
panies will take it out of their own
pocket? No, it would be as unjust to
ask them to, as it would to ask them
to pay the freight on wheat to it's mar
ket.
They are in business of buying
to collect small amounts of grain and
sell to markets in large quantities and
expect to receive enough to pay their
expenses with a reasonable profit.
Most of us would think that they
should pay it out of the profits they
usually receive on the gambling with
grain, but that would be unfair for
they are taking chances that any of
us have the privilege to take Any
way if they choose to gamble, they
can go to Wall Street, and do so
where they do not have to pay cent
! tax.
However, if they were forced to take
it out of their own pockets they
would ship their grain to a county
or state where they do not have such
a tax. Can it be that they could charge
it to the buyer? No not possible for
if they tried, the buyer would purchase
his wheat from our neighboring coun-
ties, which are not trying to make such
levy.
Then to be sure it would fall upon
the farmer as usual, but the worst of
it is that the grain will be hauled
to the city and sold. Then the city
will receive the tax from the Grain
Company that is paid indirectly by the
farmer. II would cause the grain COM
panies to deduct cents per bushel
from the market price to pay the tax
The freight to Chicago is deducted ON
every bushel whether it is shipped
there or not. The tax too would more
likely be deducted on every bushel
though thousands would be shipped
from the county before the assess
ments were made, thus leaving ground
for more graft.
Here it might be well to relate that
two of the originators or the County
Commissioners are holding prominent
positions with 9 grain company, to
whose interest they are working for

SUBSTITUTES RUN
AWAY WITH GAME
Listness Game Comes to Life When
Coach JuggIes Men in Last Half Of
Thursdays Game,

The score of 26 to fourteen doesn't
half describe the superiority of the
American Falls High Scholl team over
the Y. M. G. A. team of Pocatello. Their
basketball contest last night was eX-
ceedingly slow for the first half with
the Falls only slightly in the lead
The scond half started in the same
listless manner. At this period Matson
took v. Meadows place at guard, Isaac
substituted for Earring and e. Meadows
substituted for .Lamon, Stuart taking
center and Wheeler going over to for
ward from his center position.
This seemed to instill new life and
action into the team for such passing,
shooting and floor work has not pre-
viously been seen on the home floor.
Matson converted three long shots in
rapid succession and e. Meadows fol-
lowed with three more from under the
basket. Cronkhite refused to call
fouls with the result that all restraint
was taken off the boys who opened up
and played their best game of the sea-
son. Even at that the game was re-
markably free from fouling This was
undoubtedly prevented by frequent
use of the whistles for held ball.
Scoring was as follows: Wheeler 5,
E. Meadows 4, Matson 8, Earring one,
Morris 4, Jones 2, Hickey l.
