Joy Riders Help
Themselves To
Sleigh. and Team

On Sunday evening Fred Winkler
and family were in Blackfoot for the
evening, and tied the team at the
hitching racks. When they were
ready to start home the team and
sled were gone, and after much
searching they found them in the
road west of town and the horses
were wet with sweat as if they had
had hard usage.
On looking over the robes and coats
in the sled they found shortage
Of one woolen blanket, one sheep
skin coat, one fur coat and one pair
of overshoes.
The team had probably been bor-
rowed by some old men and women
wanting sleigh ride, and boys and
girls who read this might do we'll
to 60 and look in the garage and
the woodshed and few other places
to see If your hoodlum parents have
any Of this property in storage.
Parents and other old folks are all
right most of the time, but when
they get out together and begin to
banter one another they commit
pranks which :. their fond children
would never suspect them of. II
all the children in the community
will try detective work on their par
ents as soon as they read this, the
wraps that were lost, strayed or for
gotten may soon be returned to the
Winklers. AS we understand it, Mr..
Winkler is not ambitious to make
the old stiffs any trouble, but he
would like to have the wraps back,
for who in the dickens wants to buy
new ones now and who wants to
chase around in his undress in this
kind Of weather. The hearty CO.
operation Of all thoughtful young
folks is requested.

Board of County Com
missioners Hold Busy
Session This Week

Two members of the board of
commissioners have been in session
this week, Miller and Williams, and
besides the regular quarterly bust
ness, there is the new project for
expending the county, state and fed
eral money on the Yellowstone high
way to be planned and submitted to
the state highway department.
Commissioner England is suffering
with lame foot and has not been
able to come in. A horse fell with
him year or so ago and the injury
has never mended completely and
at times threatens trouble.
The board are anxious to get the
highway matter settled, but may de-
lay it from day to day so they can
have the advantage of Mr.. England's s
council in the matter.

War Gas Made Useful.

BY mixing tear gas. developed for
war use, with deadly but odorless
hydrocyanic acid. powerful disin-
fectant, the chemists OF the chemical
warfare service have made q combi-
nation that can be used safely In SAM
tary work. Since the hydrocyanic acid
gas kills the eggs Of vermin as well as
the vermin, It Is one Of the most ef-
fective disinfectants known. As 1t has
no taste or smell and produces no dis
comfort when breathed. the first indi-
cation of Its presence In the at
mosphere is the collapse Of the person
breathing 1t. Tear gas Is detected In
stantly by its irritant effect on the
eyes. even when the air contains only
minute amounts. and the combination
OF the two can thus be escaped before
tie hydrocyanic acid has a chance to
act.--New York Evening Post.

II was more than thousand years
from the time when the Romans

list north of the Alps until the civilian
ton north of the Alps was really on

only 4 century from the time when
BENJAMIN Franklin thought that the
little island Of Guadeloupe was worth
more than all Of Canada till the time
when second rate cities In Canada
had become more important than the
whole island OF Guadeloupe. 1t was
only few decades from the time
when even Stewards friends tacitly
admitted that Stewards Folly" was
the correct name for Alaska until the

pride to the purchase and to rank 1t

duty of talking to the. mothers
Of the nation and advising them
how to foster the health Of their
children? When are they to be
taught how science to some ex-
tent at least can check the death
rate raised by landlord profiteers
who force the poor into un-
healthy dwelling conditions? The
opportunity of the government
to help the health of the nation
has been knocking at the doors
of Washington for years through
the medium of government sign
ed advertised information for
the public, but political chicane-
ry plus the influence of the cor
poration press agents has block
ed the way. Now that informa-
ton can be spread generally for
the talking possibly there may
be an awakening. There are just
two questions the public would
like to have answered: l. Has
the government as a result OF
spending the peoples money
gathered in Washington any in
formation of public value? 2. If
it has, why is that information
not given to the people who have
paid for it?

The Genoa conference of
world affairs seems to be the old
game of mistrusting one anoth-
er and the one country trying
to gain advantages over the
other. Germany arranging an
alliance with Russia threw a big
bolt into the conference and
other matters have since
cropped out which have nearly
resulted in abandoning the
whole thing Perhaps after all
the kaiser and his followers
were not licked thoroughly
enough so that they might be
more neighborly. France might
also take a lesson in being more
neighborly and considerable of
other world powers. Humanity
is not yet the big word.

Rob Ingersoll on Finance.

II Will give you my idea about

government doesn't support the
people; the people support the
government. The government
passes around the hat. the
government passes around the
aims dish. True enough. it has
a musket behind it. but it is a
perpetual. chronic pauper. 1t
passes. l told you. the aims dish,
and we all throw in our share -
except Tilden. This government
is a perpetual consumer. You
understand me, the government
doesn't pillow corn, the govern.
ment doesn't raise corn and
wheat; the government is simply
a perpetual consumer; we sup
port the government. Now. ths
idea that the government car

developed the exploitation of

the profit accruing from it's pre-

the beast into everything from
hair combs to floor varnish and
pay a hundred profits in every

the by-product more valuable
than the product itself, and yet

LINE HAS NO LABOR TROUBLE
Suburban Railroad Near Washington
Does Business With One Man a.
lts Sole Employee.

A certain little suburban car line
near Washington Is unique In having
the owner Of the road as president,
motorman, conductor, general utility
man and bureau OF information.
There are 81 curves i'm the three
miles covered, and when the motor
man Is collecting fares the little car
glides unassisted around the shortest
curves with perfect ease and safety
at least so far.
II Is also a most accommodating
car. Certain customers take the 7 30
every morning. Everybody knows
everybody else. and social time Is
enjoyed each day. The conductOr-mO
torman also knows each passenger by
name, and when the car Is ready to
start, If Miss Jones happens to be
late. which Is often the case. the car
is delayed while Miss Jones sprints
eathlessiy down the hill and Is
helped on by two or more polite gen.
tleDen.
One day last spring. when the car
was crowded with government clerks
fnrrying to Office. the president-mO-
torman stopped the car while passing
through an old field and politely asked
permission Of the ladies aboard to
shoot q very troublesome hawk which
had killed many chickens in the
neighbOrhoOd. After the shooting, the
only other wait was for Mrs. Smith

Justices are not supposed to have any politics after gaining the bench, the common practice has neverthe- less been to keep the two parties about even in order to escape any tinge of partisanship in the court.
 When MT. Harding became Presi- dent the lineup was five Republicans and four Democrats. Chief Justice Edward Douglas White, Louisiana Democrat, died, and in his stead was appointed former President Will jam Howard Taft. That suited the Democrats because Taft had made White Chief Justice during his Pres- idency, and it was considered fitt- ting that he should step into the Chief Justiceship.
 Then Justice Clarke, an Ohio Dem- ocrat, resigned and offered Presi- dent Harding an opportunity to ap- point Senator Sutherland, life long Republican.
