knocked down by one Of the bandits
with the butt of a revolver. Another

not unconscious; he squlrmed aSound
and made what noise he could. They
then beat him some more.
I'VE left St. Joseph so quickly af.
ter the robbery that we didn't find
out what happened TO tho station man.
Woelner could not have been more
than 10 or l5 feet from our car when
he was knocked down, but we didn't
hear anything. When he staggered
up TO the car we snatched our guns
and rushed out, but the bandits were
gone.

FOLLOWING THE PEALINE ROUTE

Forty years ago Pearline was the
best known washing powder on the
market, but no housewife thinks of it
to day and but few have ever heard of
it. When its originator died and left a
fortune and a business his heirs got
together and decided that continued
advertising was a useless expense.
They originated the oft heard slogan,
EVERYBODY KNOWS US, WHY
WASTE MONEY IN ADVERTIS-
1NG?" In short time Pearline was
a forgotten product and its manufact-
ure discontinued. In every town YOU
find business men who have adopted
the slogan of the Pearline heirs ''Ev-
erybody knows US. We have been
here so long. 1t don't pay to adver
tisel" The Pearline route is easy to
follow. 1t is a well-marked trail lead
ing to Oblivion. If that is your bust
ness destination it is a good trail to
follow.

A VICIOUS RuMoR

a vile and cowardly rumor concern
ing moral conditions in the high school
has been going the rounds Of Monte
sane. Strangely enough it has been
fostered and enlarged and passed
about not so much by those whom you
would expect 40 be credulous and Cos
sipy. but by some in public life who
supposedly have the respect and es-
TEEN Of q large number Of people.
No such condition exists. Get that
straight.
superintendent Wheeler and Mayor
Wilson, who have the interests OF the
students at heart as those Of their own
children. have investigated the matter
thoroughly and found conclusiveiy that
sensation lovers are responsible for
the rumors. To believe such rumors
Is bad enough and no credit to one's
intelligence. to pass thom on is worse
and cowardly aud vicious act as well.
Let those who wish to pose as re-
formers tackle some OF the real prob
lens that exist and need correction
and not descend to the depths of en-
iafging and spreading vague rumors.
= Montesano (wash) vidette.

North Side Necessities
r. f. Shepherd, of Jerome, head or
the North side Twin Falls Canal Com

was well received. Mr. Shepherd said
those conducting the campaign were
not trying to unduly influence any
company to come into the district but
felt it was their duty to give all who
had contracted the first opportunity.
Any company having at all times plen-
Iy of water should not come in, but
my needing water should come in as a
means Of continuing protection.
Mr.. Shepherd stated that the Twin
