FASCINATION IN OLD COPPER
It's Collection Becomes an Engrossing
Pursuit on Account Of Its Beauty
ISL of CoIoring.

Collecting old copper is most
fascinating pursuit, for some of these
old pieces are so beautifully ham,
mered and fashioned into symmetry
of shape and design that you can
not help but feel that the coppersmith
who made them was an artist who
enjoyed his work and gave to it the
best of his talent and skill.
The beauty of old copper is its
color. These rare old pieces when
FURNISHED have a richness of fiery
glow like flaming winter sunset.
There is also something about them
that suggests the splendor Of the
gilded domes and minarets of orr
entail mosques. In the home few
choice pieces well placed brighten
up a room, giving hfe and brillian-
cy to all it's decorations; besides this,
around these old copper pieces is In
terwoven the history, religion, and
romance of the old world countries
from which they come.
The copper pieces brought here by
the Jewish families of Macedonia
and Syria show the finest art and
the greatest richness of color Of all
the copper which one may collect in
America.-M. Holden in Country
Life.

Valuable Phosphate Fumes.

Millions of tons Of phosphates pre-
viously wasted will be saved potential
ly as a result Of the perfection Of a
new reclamation system devised by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Heretofore heavy annual wastes of
valuable phosphate material have &C.
Cured during the mining and manu-
featuring processes. The new method
Of controlling these losses consists in
mixing the ''run-Of-mine'' phosphate
with sand and coke and smelling the
mass In an electric or fuel-fed furnace.
In this process the phosphoric acid is
driven off as a fume and may be read
lily collected in concentrated form.

STAG NO MEAN ADVERSARY
Is on Record as Putting Bulls
to Flight.

The stag is a ferocious fighter and
has attacked and killed horses-and
on occasions put bulls to flight. The
fighting weapon of the stag is its
antlers. Each year these antlers grow
from the skull at the rate of an
inch day. During their growth,
they are covered by feshy layer
Of skin, in which the blood circulates
in order to feed the growing bone,
writes E. X. Robinson in Natures
Lessons with animals"
When the antlers are fully grown
the skin dries up and the animal rubs
it off. The stag only uses his ant
lers as a weapon for about three
weeks, and then carries them for
but few months more.
When two stays are fighting, each
endeavors to get its antlers outside
those of it's opponent, in order to
push it aside and thus expose its
flank, at which it makes a darting
blow with the shorter points on the
antlers. The antlers are also
useful when stag is alarmed
and wants to get away with it's
kinds. With its greater strength
and it antlers, it is able to plough
a path for itself and the kinds
through the thickest underground.

FRUIT HARVEST
in JULIAETTA
CHERRY CROP ABOVE EXPECTA.
TION-CANNERY rs BUSY
MELONS ON MARKET SOON

Juliaetta, July 23-The Juliaetta
cannery completed the seasons run on
cherries last week The crop much
exceeded the early expectations Of the
growers. Nine carloads shipped from
the cannery here by White Brothers
& Crum of Lewiston and about 10000
pounds of Royal Anne cherries were
canned here during the season.
Within two weeks the cannery will
begin to can tomatoes here, which
promises to make long run.
w. A. Carr Of Juliaetta has ripe to-
matoes already, and he will begin max
ing his first shipments about Tues
day or Wednesday of this week.
By the latter part of next week
Juliaetta cantaloupes will be ready
for shipments to begin, and week
later JuIiaetta watermelons-"th best
by test in the west''-will be ready for
shipments to begin.
This year the Juliaetta growers will
stamp their products to protect them
selves from the irrigation-grown stuff,
or, in other words, to keep unscrup-
ulous dealers from selling melons
and tomatoes as "Juliaetta grown"
that were, in fact, grown in an irrf-
gated district.
The home and nearly all the con-
tents of A. c. Hardman were destroy
ed by fire last week. The fire is
thought to have been caused by leak
ing oil from an oil stove. The loss
was partly covered by insurance.

Have Double Birthday Party

A most enjoyable birthday party
was had Sunday the 23rd at the beau
tiful summer home of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. j. Hunter, six miles northeast of
Moscow, it being the 42nd birthday Of
Mr. Hunter and the 9Th birthday of
his son, master Billie Hunter Forty
four guests sat down to a sumptuous
dinner laden with all the delicacies of
the season spread on a long table on
the porch of the mountain home. At
ter dinner a photograph was taken of
those present and important questions
discussed. A more enjoyable and con-
genial crowd never gathered and the
day seemed all too short when they
had to depart for their homes wishing
their genial hosts many more happy
returns of their natal day. Mrs. A.
Overbee baked the luscious birthday
cakes, on which shone the light of AZ
candles for one and six for the other.

RURAL CHURCH WORK SHOWS
GAIN DURING SUMMER MONTHS

Summer heat and drouth thus faI
has not had the depressing effect on
church attendance in the country that
is usually felt in towns and cities.
The attendance yesterday on the cir
cult served by Rev. C. H. Schreiber
of the Methodist church, averaged
larger than it did in the winter. At
Cornwall the crowd was undoubtedly
increased by the contest in the young
peoples class taught by Miss Opal
Sumner. The overflow made an in
crease in the other classes also. The
sane system of credits and the whole
some motive promise to do more for
Sunday school and church attend
ance than the average wild-fire con-
test does, states Mr.. Schneider. The
attendance at S. S. was II, and nearly
all remained for the preaching SER
vice.
The Cornwall-Joel work shows
signs Of vigorous life. One OF these
signs is the accessions to church
membership. A week ago Mr.. and
Mrs. c. F. Klossner and their son,
Everett, were baptized in a stream
near the Lakin home and were re-
ceived into the membership of the
Methodist church. The three young
est children were baptized the same
day at the home of their grandparents
Mr. and Mrs. Lakin.
The Cornwall Sunday school voted
to have real picnic at Felton's mill
on Wednesday of this week
Loren Messenger filled the pulpit
at Viola yesterday evening to the sat
isfaction of all He mad the expert
ence that most preachers have at
some time or other; when the organ
ist or chorister, the audience and the
hymn fail to make good connections
But it all ended well and good SER
vice is reported with the usual at
tendance and good attention. On ac-
count of harvest the proposed can
vass is postponed. Regular services
are to be maintained through harvest
time.
At Pine Grove the largest crowd of
this year greeted the leader of the
young peoples Christian society and
the pastor at the evening service.
Arthur Fleiger led the former meet
ing, using the topic "How the Chris
tian Crows and several other young
people took part in helpful discus
sions. Miss Violet Fleiger played the
organ and Otto Hendrickson assisted
with his madolin The new hymn
books add greatly to the edification
Of the services. Next Sunday the
meeting will be in charge of Miss
at the Union school, and a
live missionary treatise is to be ex-
Dected

Road Hogs Should be Punished

The other evening while Leonard
CLARK was travelling by bicycle on the
highway, some autospeeder whizzed
by without turning to the right an
inch, thereby crowding the boy clear
off the road In his endeavor to
reach a place of safety he fell and
severely sprained his arm. If an Of
ficer was stationed along the high
way during the evening to catch some
of these road hogs and speeders 1T
would soon have soothing effect en-

they also own the right-of-way. Had

FIRE HAZARD IS
MOST SERIOUS
DESTROYING TIMBER IN MANY
SECTIONS OF NORTH IDAHO
OWNERS ARE WORRIED

Potlatch, July 23-Fire on Flood
wood creek, in sections 3 and TO-
township AZ north, range E. B. M,
was scattered and considerably ex-
tended by the high winds of yesterday
before the crew of "a nlen who left
Elk River early Friday afternoon, it
had covered about 200 acres, mostly
in an old burn on one side of Flood
wood creek. The crew which had been
fighting fire for several days before
reinfOrcements arrived were unable
to hold it in the face of Fridays high,
gusty winds.
AS soon as the fire got away George
Gleason who is in direct charge, went
to the Freezeout Mountain Lookout
Station and telephoned Chief Fire
Warden Woesner, at headquarters, at
Elk River, for more reinforcements.
Mr.. Woesner Immediately called on
the Potlatch Lumber company for
men, with the result that all logging
camps of the Potlatch Lumber COM
pany in the Elk River district were
shut down and their entire crews turn
ed over to the Chief Fire Warden
This morning 120 men have started
on foot for the Floodwood fire. They
will not get there until Sunday after
noon. Since the pack trains OF the
fire association were all out, nineteen
logging horses and four rented pack
animals we're used to take in the TOOLS,
supplies and equipment.
Very little green timber has been
damaged up to last reports. The fire
is travelling north, however, and has
crossed the high divide onto the st.
Joe national forest.
Humiston Says Worst Ever
Speaking of the present forest fire
conditions, w. D. Humiston, secretary
of the Potlatch Timber Protective as
sociation, says:
"Old-timer in the fire game agree
that the present season is the worst
they have ever experienced from the
standpoint of forest fire hazard. Here
tofore 191 and 1914 have always been
referred to as the worst fire years
Idaho has ever had. This year is very
likely to eclipse either 1910 or 1914,
by reason of the fact that there mas
been less precipitation and more hot
weather and higher winds than here
tofore. Ordinarily the fire situat1on
Ill uOlLuGlA IudAO 10 NV AS@AiJ N'~N>
until the first week in August. lnis
year, however, the fires are starting
unusually early and the hazard, which
is cumulative, will be much greater
than at present even, unless gooo,
soaking rains occur over the entire
north end of the state. Unfortunate
ly, there is small likelihood OF much
rain before the first week in Septem-
Der.
Smokers, campers, fishermen and
others who are in the forest at this
time are particularly urged not to be
careless with fire. Thoughtlessness
under present conditions may cause
great loss of property and possibly
life, while the loss to the community
in future taxes and wages may be
enormous"
