MRS. c. ]. NJ
Answers crofula is an old fash
toned name for tuberculosis of the

a red nose really does depend on

A NEW DAWN FOR
CHRISTIANITY

The wireless telephone will soon
sound the death kneel of religious
intolerance, and will bring more
good to the world than any force
wrested from nature since time be-
gan, and the ministers are not slow
to recognize the fact. Those of the
clergy who really think and are in
intelligent contact with the men and
women Of the world, have suddenly
come to see that it is not so much
the churches, as the things the
churches stand for and the manner
of their Interpretation, that is going
to count. N'
When sermons are broadcasted
from coast to coast, the people will
soon come to sense the true from the
false in religious leadership and to
know where may best. be found
actual christianity. No longer may
the narrow minded parson stand as
the law and the prophets, infusing
misleading doctrine into simple minds
under the shadow Of the cloth. Too
many creeds have suffered because
of Their misinterpretation. by little
men dealing with the biggest of sub
jects. Today the minister's congre-
cation is the country, and soon 1t
will be the world. When this hap
pens the dawn Of a real Christianity
will have broken and a harmony be-
tween mar and his Maker develop to
the glory of God and the blessing of
His Creatures.-American Falls

TO CAPITALIZE
ARROWROCK RESERVOIR

Boise and every town in the
southwestern part of the state,
coming within the influence Of the
Arrowrock reservoir, is planning to
capitalize that storage system as
never before with the view Of secur-
ing added investment and more pop
ulation at a time when money is be-
coming very plentiful in eastern
centers and there is an unusual de-
sire on the part of eastern and mid
die western folks to seek fields
awest.
This plan is promised in part upon
the known fact that people seeking
land nowadays give as much atten-
ton to the source and the continuity
Of water supply as they do to alb
stracts of title.
1t is felt, therefore, that any Sec
ton or sections enjoying positive
water insurance, now or in the near
future, will be in the best possible
position to attract settlers and in
vestors.
The Importance attaching to this
situation is being recognized in all
irrigated parts Of Idaho, as indi-
Gated by the interest in the Ameri-
a Falls reservoir project and the
hope is expressed that all irrigated
sections will, within a reasonable
time enjoy the fullest protective
water storage facilities.

TUBERCULOSIS OF POULTRY

There are many flocks around
Blackfoot which are affected with
tuberculosis. tuberculosis Of the
fowls is a chronic contagious disease.
1t can ready be distinguished from
the other diseases of poultry in sew
eral ways. The LESSONS are found
on the liver, spleen and in~testines.
They are white spots which vary in
size from a pea to a good size
marble.
tuberculosis is readily transmit
ted to other fowls and several classes
Of animals. The way this disease is
transported is by bringing into the
flock an affected bird OF by the Eng
lish sparrow visiting a yard Of af-
fected birds and then flying to a yard
where the disease is not present.
Birds breathing in the air given of
by the affected fowl will easily catch
the disease.
The symptoms are not generally
noticed in the first stages, but will
soon be very noticeable in the ad-
vanced state. They will gradually
lose weight and the comb becomes
pale in color. They get lazy and
will not get off from the roost until

A G POLITICAL
JOKE

Last year there was a municipal
election at B%lackfoot, and when the
word got out that Charles F. Modem
was to be made chief Of police there
was a lifting of eyebrows and a hot
footing for the mayors office to en-
ter protest.
People all over town were ex-
claiming that with Mr.. Modem as
chief Of police, the booze men would
be able to take the town-and hold
it. Some remembered that besides
having drank good beer in the old
days, Mr.. Modem had kept cows on
hts back lots and the Gov barn had
yielded up odors and how could an
officer command anybody to clean, up
his premises when he had once had a
COW barn that was smelly! Men
who had been elected to fill places
on the council labored with the
mayor-elect and tried to call him off,
but he was obdurate or something
Of the kind and stood pat. He said
that Mr.. Modem would be the new
chief Of police.
The Idaho Republican generally
gets in wrong on city politics when
ever it has a chance, and in this in
stance it agreed with what vas being
said the oftenest, but kept still and
went out hunting for Mr.. Modem to
see what message he had for the suf-
fering public who were crossing
bridges that were yet in the future.
Mr.. Modem said he had but one
sentence for the dear people, and it
read, Good citizens will LOBBY the
law, and all others will be made to-"
Mr.. Molden has been drawing
salary for about a year now as chief
Of police and bootleggers have been
thicker than fleas in the police court
and In the Jail at times, but not
much in evidence on the streets and
about town. Some citizens have
been taken into court and caused to
place funds In the treasury for hav-
ing had booze on the hip or some
where, and then they have gone out
and had less on the hip albeit they
may have had greater warnings too,
but as the townspeople review the
Modem appointment one year after
the big worry, they behold a town
that is physically cleaner than it has
ever been before and morally and
legally in apparently fair degree of
health.
Some joker in commenting on the
situation last winter said he had not
noticed any change in Mr.. Molden's
habits since he was made chief, for
he was generally in evidence and
knew what was going on before he
was appointed, and he is generally
in evidence and knows what is going
On nov
If anybody has any particular
fault to find with the police depart
ment, he might take advantage of
Mr.. Molden's platform, Good citi-
zens will obey the law and all others
will be made to-" If there is any
large quantity Of violation that is
serious, put the job up to the chief to
corral it.

AN IDAHO EDITOR
PASSES

C. j.. Shorb, editor Of the Caldwell
News, died last Saturday at the age
OF forty-nine years. He vas a native
of Massillion, Ohio, came with his
parents to Nebraska when an infant,
and there the family lost everything
in a great prairie fire in 1877. They
then came to Iadho, travelling by
OK team across the plains, and set
tied at Boise and afterwards at
Caldwell, where he helped build the
town. He served for many years as
city clerk and was a member of the
volunteer fire department for
twenty-five years. He was a great
reader and a careful student. At
the age Of twenty-five he married a
lady, who as a girl had crossed the
plains with the same wagon train as
the Shorb family, and they had
roamed the plains and played to-
gether on the way across.
Mr.. Shorb was one Of those con-
scientious editors who always ex-
pressed his views without fear or
favor and without any consideration
of how it might affect the advertis-
ing or other Of his paper.
He said exactly what he thought and
believed, and If it made enemies he
accepted the situation as part Of his
job. 1t was a constitutional matter
with him to say what he thought or
remain silent, and he did not think
it the sphere Of an editor to remain
silent on matters affecting the
public.
About ten years ago the Portland
Oregonian offered Mr.. Shorb a luc-
rative position on their editorial
staff, and he went o Portland to look
the situation over before saying
whether or not he would accept it.
After canvassing the situation, the
work. and the rules under which he

NEW POST MASTER
FOR BLACKFOW

Blackfoot is to have a new post
master presently, but to date nobody
seems to know who it is to be. o.
Buchanan has the endorsement Of
the county central committee, but
the committee has not added greatly
to it's prestige the past year, and
other candidates if there are some,
are not making much noise about it.
Editor Trego has n individual
nomination and two voluntary en-
dorsements, and he is enjoying the
sensation of being in the race(?
1t came about in this way: T. M.
Callahan Of Longmont, Colo, made
one of his semi-occasional visits to
the town in February, and went to
Trego and urged him to get into the
race for post master. TregO
laughed about it and said it. kept
him busy to keep his newspaper
from going to the dickens in these
quiet times. After about a month,
Trego remembered the Callahan sug-
gestion and mentioned it to Mr..
Buchanan, and said, Now you see
you have a competitor in the race
for Office" And Mr.. Buchanan re-
piled, well, just to show I I'm a
good sport, l will endorse your can
didacy if you will bring it around"
Trego said he would get at it some
day and speed up the a Last
Monday Mr.. Buchanan reminded
Trego of his neglected application,
and Robert Osborn, who was present
said he would add his endorsement.
With this kind of a lineup, even
tho the county central committee is
not backing his application, Trego
might get to first base or further If
he wasn't so slow about starting.
One endorsement a month, three
endorsements in three months, a
hundred endorsements in a hundred
months-well the administration
may change by that time and
Blackfoot has to have a post master
this year.

AND HER COSTUME WAS
ONLY A HAT

And now we get from G. F.
Bertelinows from Paris that a noted
snake charmer has appered at the
fashionable ~Longchamps race track
clad only in a hat-and peculiar as
it my appear, and as showing the
folly of taking snap judgment the
costume is described even by the
French Anthony Comstock as mod
est. More modest than the custome
of the British and American fapper,
seems to be the verdict. 1t appears
that, falling from the hat, a wide
brimmed creation, fell yard after
yard of rich black lace completely
concealing the noted figure of the
snake charmer and reaching to the
ankles. Only one shoulder was Wis
ible and on this was glued a single
red rose to harmonic with a rose on
the hat.
"The lesson" said the snake
charmer, sis one of simlicity. l step
from my bath, put on my hat and
am completely and comfortably
dressed" Seemingly, the war with

policy Of the paper and the methods
by which the organization was gov

have to take orders as to policies

ume his work on his own town

and the hook and ladder truck in
times of fire, accepting such pay as
the meager revenues Of his paper

from him and some who agreed with

A BRITISH
WOMAN

The American people have with
them as a guest at the present time
a distinguished American woman,
who is now a citizen of England. We
refer to Lady Aston, member of the
House Of Lords Of Great Britain,
formerly Miss Langhorn Of the State
of Virginia. Mr.. Aston was also an
American citizen, but went to Eng
land, took out citizenship and made
his home there and then wooed and
wed Miss Langhorn and she became
a citizen of England by reason OF
her husbands citizenship. She was
a very beautiful and accomplished
woman and with the advantages that
her husband and his wealth gave
her, combined with her own high
birth and intelligence, she has made
quite a mark in the world. Her
husband is a member Of the House
Of Lords and she was the first
woman to become a member. She
has not been in America for eight
years, and is now here on j visit as
we'll as serving as a delegate In the
International Convention Of Women
Voters. She is the mother Of six
children, all living, is still a beauti-
full and we'll preserved woman, and
bright intellectually. E&.
When Lady Aston was making her
maiden speech in the House OF Lords
she realized that she was somewhat
handicapped because she was the
representative of women voters In
England, a type that had gone to
great extremes in their political
activities and bounded the members
Of the House of Lords to such an ex-
tent that many of them were con-
sidered little less than a nuisance.
On the occasion referred to when she
took the floor to address them on a
subject Of s~tatecraft she was listened
to with marked attention and shown
all the fine courtesies that well bred
men show, but there was one excep-
ton in the great assembly, a man
who habitually interrupted speak
ers by talking in a mumbling tone
to those around him. Lady Astor
did not know that this was his habit
and that the House Of Lords had
tolerated it, and she felt consider
ably annoyed by it. Lady Aston ia
a very frank plain spoken woman,
always courteous and always entirely
human in all that she says and does.
After she had talked for a few
minutes in. the face OF the annoyance
we have referred to, she stopped and
looked at the old gentleman and said
in a perfectly frank, neighborly way
"See here brother / am addressing
this House, yourself along with the
others, and l wish you to listen tC
me When you are making a speech
/ do not talk and interrupt you and
I want you to show me the same
favor" The old man looked at hel
in establishment and there was dead
silence in the House. She was per.
fectly good natured and frank about
it. There was nothing of the poster
ing, bounding attitude of the sui.

if your flock has 1t is by the tuber-

birds have this disease it is possible
that your entire flock is affected. If
so it is best to kill the entire flock

Deep cultivation should be done
early before the corn begins to de-

used on the cultivator, especially
the fields badly infested with wild

Not only will the proper cultiva--

In spite of the rainy weather and
muddy roads the Nonpartisan pic
mic at the L. l.. Griffith grove on
Friday Of last week was attended
by a fair sized crowd, between 800
and 400 people being present. On
account Of the weather there were
many who did not even attempt to
make the trip, and 1t is estimated
that about a thousand people would
have been there had the weather
been favorable. The main address
was delivered by Congressman J..

appreciated by the crowd present
Other speakers were Mrs. Lee of
Renville county and MRS. o. q.

discussed the issues Of the cam
paign. The ball game could not
be held on account of the mud.
