IDAHO TO GET
20 PER CENT CUT
ON POTATO RATE

Idaho will get a 20 per cent cut
in freight rates on potatoes, and 1t
is expected that movement of the
crop will begin just as soon as the
new tariff is put in effect, which re-
quires one days notice.
Many growers, however, are of the
opinion that the cut comes too late
to help out much, as potatoes are
now dropping on the eastern market.

OLD AGE PENSION
PUSHED BY EAGLES

The Fraternal Order of Eagles is
at the present time conducting ma
tion-wide campaign for the passage
of state laws providing for an old
age pension.
This movement is obtaining great
Roadway in a number of the states,
and the agitation is being pushed in
Idaho to a large extent.
Many of the Aeries over the coun-
try are levying small assessments on
each member for the purpose of
pushing this cause.
The national commission on old
age pensions of the Eagles has gone
on record as fayoring the enactment
of an old age pension bill by the in
dividual states of the Union in the
hope that poorhouses and the sys-
TENS that have grown up with them
may go out of style.

CONDITION HARD TO IMAGINE
What Would Happen to the Gun and
Other Heavenly Bodice " There
Were No Atmosphere.

Were the earth deprived Of Its at
mosphere and existence possible under
such conditions, we should find that
no rosy dawn would herald the rising
Of the sun in the darkened east. or
gorgeous colors mark Its setting In
the west. The sky would be dark by
day as well as by night, says a writer
In London Answers.
The stars would shine brightly
through the entire "a hours, but we
should see thousands more OF them
than are now visible on even the clear
est nights. They would not twinkle in
the least.
They would be seen almost up to
the very edge Of the sun itself, but
Immediately round the sun there
would be a glow having the appear
ance OF broad wings. and red flames
would add their grandeur to the i'm
pressive scene.
The zodiacal light would appear as
a broad beam Of light I'm the spring,
up to the left of the place where the
sun had set. 1t would be possible TO
study this remarkable object. and no
doubt 10 solve quickly the mystery
which has chung to II for so many CEN
turtles.
The appearance of the milky way
would be far more magnificent than II
is now, seen even from tropical coun-
tries.
A big comet would be seen months
before it got to the sun, and we
should witness IL sweep round the
sun with incredible speed and dart or
. into space again.
Mercury and Venus could have their
movements followed with ease. and
any other planet there might be be-
tween Mercury and the sun would
soon be discovered.

LAND BIRDS FOLLOW STEAMER
Perch on Spare and Rigging Of Yes
sells and Are Carried Far
From the Land.

Land birds far from land form one
Of the sights TO be witnessed by pas
sengers on board the steamers cross
ing Lake Michigan. This is said TO
be especially the case on the steamers
of Il line plying between Muskegon
and Chicago, distance of 100 miles.
The steamers sail after dark.
At shutdown the spars and rigging
Of the vessels in the dock form good
resting places for the land birds. When
darkness comes and the boats begin
TO move II Is too late for them to so
ashore.
II Is said to be no uncommon thing
for the passengers TO see strange
sight just between daybreak and sun
rise. The birds are waking up anil
find themselves some thlrty-odd miles
from land. They circle about the boat
until they are compelled 10 rest on
the rigging, some OF them seeming
much perplexed, while others make
the best Of circumstances.
On one trip two yellow hammers or
fickers were among the company, as
well as q silent little sapsucker that
pecked away at ropes and spars as II
he were breakfasting heartily on
grubs. There was frightened brown
thrush as we'll as pair Of tiny wrens
and several grass sparrows.
The birds accompany the vessel I'M
til Ii reaches the other port and then
fly ashore.

How Snakes Move.

Snakes move on their ribs. The
snakes ribs are jointed at the back
bone, and extend down over each side
Of the body. The ends are connected
with plates on the underside Of the
snake. These plates have projecting
edges, which take hold Of the surface
Of objects beneath the reptile. When
the snake moves his ribs, therefore, he.
can move forward just as rapidly and
as swiftly as though he had a thousand
legs. If you don't believe this, try the
experiment Of putting a snake on a
smooth plate Of glass and watch its
vain attempts to run. The reason
that the snake can move little or no
distance is because the projecting
edges of these plates can find nothing
to take hold Of on the smooth surface
Of the glass.

Home Brew Thirty Centuries Ago.

For originating the art Of home
brewing the Persians claim credit.
Thirty centuries ago, according to an
account, King Jamshid had great
Gar of grapes. Pressure of the top lay
ers on those beneath squeezed out the
Juice, which fermented and became
sour. One OF the kings wives, having
learned of the liquid in the basement,
which the king believed to be, and had
labeled poison" decided TO use 1t to
end her life. Although she drank free
ly, instead OF dying, she lost her de-
spondency, and became unusually hap
by. The king could not understand
her hilarity until she confessed.
Thereafter, 1t is related, both the mon
arch and his court with frequent regu-
larity poisoned" themselves on home
brew.

of immigration, with view of max
ing immigration depend upon quality
rather than quantity. He pointed out
that by clothing the consular agents
abroad with suitable powers the char
acter Of the immigrants, their politi-
cal view, ETC., could be ascertained,
and those who would probably not
make good citizens could be halted
before they had started for this coun-
try, and that in this way many Of the
red flag waivers would be kept out of
this country. He also pointed out
that many people would be prevented
from starting for this country, only
to reach our shores and be returned
to Europe for some reason, thing
that appeals as not exactly a square
deal and un-American.
