cided to take up first the one charg. ,

by Premier Lloyd George today
in q speech to a group Of chill

added:
"The higher you climb the
colder and lonelier it becomes.
You are exposed to every at

Service Man Says Germans
Exhibited ROOsevelt's Body


Ell PASO, Texas, Jan. 30.-Patrick
Fitzgerald, who says he is the son of
former police chief of Kansas City,
was released today by order of the
United States commissioner, having
been held in Jail since December 8 on
a charge of transporting a stolen au-
tomobile and of posing as a federal
officer before immigration authorities
at the international bridge.
Fitzgerald, a former lieutenant in
the army, was overseas in the avia-
ton service with Quentin Roosevelt,
he said.
"When Roosevelt was killed his
body was exhibited to hundreds of
German soldiers" he said, "to i'm
prove the morale of the German
troops. As the Germans exhibited his
body they said America was short
of men and had to send presidents
sons over to lie the fighting.
''This had the opposite effect on the
morale, however, and soon the kaiser
ordered the body buried, because he
was acquainted with Quentin's faith
er."
Fitzgerald said he was the man
who brought down Baron Won Rich
ofen, known as the German "red dew
H."

PATIENTS
ARE CONVALESCENT

The county nurse, Miss Lunney, re-
turned from Gilmore on Tuesday
evening from looking after the cases
of typhoid fever, heretofore reported
as an epidemic, in that village. Miss
Mary Roberts was left in charge as
nnrse, Miss Lunney expecting to re-
turn again to Gilmore within a few
days.
Miss Lunney calls attention to the
prompt AMI invaluable work of Lem
nj chapter of the Red Cross in connec-
ton with this epidemic. She had in
structions from Miss Laura Shoup to
call for further aid if thought neces-
sary from Red Cross headquarters at
Seattle but it has been found the
resources of the home chapter were
adequate in furnishing supplies
Dr.. Hammer, the county health Off
Ger, and DR.. kellar of Leadore, have
been in attendance upon the patients,
all now convalescent.

Have You ANY Pet Sunerstitions?

They are of all sorts and kinds-our
pet superstitions. Some of them we
play with, and pretend to adopt, be-
cause we find them amusing; some,
and those of the most senseless, we
take seriously. What, for instance,
could be more utterly silly than the
refusal to accept a black pin? And
yet, only few years ago / heard a
woman who asked for a pin decline a
black one, although it was more ap-
propriate for it's destined use than
any other could be, She was a per-
son who rather fancied herself, on ac-
count of her exclusive social position.
"Oh, no." she said, with deprecatory
apolegetic smile, 81 don't think l
could take black pin" In my child
hood | had heard of that superstition,
but didn't believe that it prevailed
any longer among civilized people.
Really, beside such puerility, YOU
regard with respect the belief pre-
vailing among certain savage tribes
that mans name (beIng an integral
part of himself) must not be mention
ed, lest it come into possession of an
enemy who, by the aid of magic, may
use it to work. him harm. In fact,
the belief that ones name is a part of
oneself can be understood by any one
who has toiled over the naming of
the characters of fiction. For truly
the name Is part of a fictitious per-
son, and must fit him if he is to seem
to live. 1t is only in real life that you
can live down an unsuitable name.
Then there is our unlucky Friday
How many people there are who real
ly do regard it with apprehension.
But somewhere in the world each day
in the week is unlucky. Why dis
criminate? Sunday, to be sure, is for
tunate except in Christendom, where
its bad luck is only a retribution foi
desecration; with one curious excep-
tion. Why should it be bebelieved
that if you fall ill on a Sunday you
will surely die? And why, among
good Christians, should a Sunday ex.
cursion in sailboat be considered
more ill-omened than, for instance, q
ride or drive? For that matter, the
horse may need his rest, and you
make him work. don't know of any
superstitions about motor-cars, but
there might well be some.-Scribner's

woman's Club Notes.

An interesting meeting of the Wo-
mans club was held at the CONNER
cial club rooms Saturday afternoon.
The program was appropriate to
Child Welfare week. In the absence
of Miss Lunncy Mrs. Renner and
Mrs. Ketchum entertained the club
with the subjects: Woman's Own Job
The Child and the Towner-Sterling
Maternity bill and the governors plan
for using money appropriated for
Idaho for this purpose. A general
discussion called out remarks from all
present.
Mrs. Scribner gave lucid explana-
ton of Lielbach Reclassification bill
now pending in Congress. If this bill
is passed, government officers and
employees will be reclassified and paid
according to their ability. Upon re-
quest of the forest service, the Wo-
mans club sent its endorsement of
this bill by telegram to Washington.
Mrs. Beatty explained the Loan
Scholarship fund which the federated
clubs Of the state are establishing to
aid worthy young people to complete
their course of study at the Universi-
ty. Many who would otherwise have
to drop out for lack of funds, are en-
abled to finish their course by loan
from this fund.
The Home Economies department
will have charge of the next meeting

CATTLE MEET DEATH
IN ICE-BOUND LEMHI

Two cows belonging to the James
Spencer herd at Tcndoy were drown
ed in the river AT point where they
approached on the ice to get drink.
There may have been many more
losses of the same kind, for all along
the river there are gorges and dan
gefous places for stock when they
come to get water, where slip into
the current, with ice cliffs bordering
and in places entirely frozen over,
makes it impossible for an animal to
get out. Ranchers say that never be-
fore was the Lemhi river so ice
bound. causing the fow OF that stream
TO spread out over entire fields and
meadows in many localities.

REAL WINTER THIS
THROUGH COUNTRY

The first break in prevailing zero
temperatures for month came along
last Saturday, January 2S, when the
registered mark was point or two
above freezing. About that time
there were changes in the barometric
readings, however, that indicated vio-
lent storms brewing. Sunday morn
ing found temperatures down as low
as minus IA and the telegraphic news
reported the worst snow storms in
years, particularly in the southeast.
In Washington, the nationa. copital,
the snowfall was so great in its fall
Of 25 inches upon the roof of big
theartre, the knickeT5ocker, that it
collapsed, killing more than hundred
people.
As showing the extent of the snow
fall, San Francisco had its white man
tie for the first time in many years.

Men af Ladies', Aid

Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Herndon had at
their home last night the Ladies' Aid
society of the Methodist church, to-
gether with the men folks of the mem
bership, altogether upward of forty
guests being present. Rather than
ask their husbands to listen to the
business routine, that part of the
meeting was omitted in a program Of
singing, delightful social intercourse
and the serving of refreshments of
sandwiches, coffee and cake.
In the singing were selections by a
noted trio of Mrs. Hern1on, Mrs.
Ward and Mrs. Raymond Preston and
two solos by d. A. Smith, besides the
heart songs of auld lang syne in
which all joined. The function was
one long to be remembered for the
great enjoyment afforded.
