SPEAKS FOR LAW
President Leak Asserts That McLendon
Club and K. K. X. Are Not Con-
nected.

The McLendon Club held its
semi-monthly meeting last Sun
day in the courthouse at 3 o'clock,
aid will hold its next meeting on
Sunday, Dec. 3lst, at the court
house at the same hour.
Especially noteworthy about
last Sundays meeting was the
fact that the President, T. c.
Leak, emphatically declared that
there was no connection between
the Club and the Ku Klux Klan.
Also, the tenor of all three ad-
dresses were along the lines of
law enforcement, and along ord,
erly, constituted lines.
Mr.. Leak, the President, in call
ing the Club to order, assured
the Club that there was no con-
nection between it and the
Kluckers. He referred to the
order of the day last week as be-
ing cne of convictions-except
two alleged blindtigers who lit a
rag back to the hills.
The first speaker was Mr.. Geo.
Is. Steele. He said the Club has
done a great work, but that we
must not be too sanguine about
| it; we must all work in unison to
the end of even more vigorous
law enforcement.
Representative w. N. Everett
then spoke for 20 minutes. He
quoted the axiom laid down by
Confucius that IAN oppressive
Government is fercer than a tig-
er." He recounted through the
ages the various processes that
finally gave to the present this
system of law and government
f"The law guarantees toah the
great privilege that every man
has certain constitutional rights
that neither judge nor man can
take away. Every man has a
right to a fair trial in open Court

Train Hits Car.

Phil Little had narrow escape
on Thursday night of last week. He
was returning to Charlotte, accom-
panied by a friend and as he at
tempted to cross the Seaboard track
at Peachland the rear wheels sank
in a mud hole in the track and the
car became stuck. The fast train,
No. 6, happened" along about that
time, and made kindling of the car
Fortunately, his car was roadster
a new one, and the front part was
just off the track, so that neither
of the two men were actually hit
by the train. The demolition OF
the car threw them out of course
and both received cuts from the
windshield.

the girl and be sent to the roads

and so paid to Clerk of Court W.

chain gang Monday to begin his

behavior each prisoner gets 5
daysof per month; this would
really make his sentence about
7 months. Clerk Thomas is to
pay this $500 to the girl in his

such amounts as her condition

PRIZE WINNING TEAM
OF ALASKAN DOGS IN

Conway Tearle, who is starring in
"Bucking the Tiger" the Selznick
Picture which comes to the Ken
worthy theatre Saturday, is a great
dog lover, and it is very rarely that
he appears in a picture which has
not at least one dog in it.
In the coming production Mr..
Tearle drives one of the finest teams
of malamutes to be found in Alaska,
and worth several thousand dollars
These dogs are very temperamental
and, while they will mush over an
increditable number Of miles per day,
and will draw a considerable load
without complaint, they insist on kind
treatment. Nagging will spoil the
best dog in the team, and as soon as
one dog shows signs of temper his
team mates follow suit promptly, and
the result is that upon the slightest
provocatiOn the whole is a snarling
mass.
The diet of these dogs consists of
bacon, rice, dried salmon, cornmeal
and oatmeal with bacon. They are
fed once a day, in the evening.
The dogs, which have a consider
able strain of wolf in them do not
always take kindly to new master
and if they are not won over are
very dangerous to handle. Mr. Tearle
however, experienced no difficulty
with them and after completing the
scenes in which they appeared was
very emphatic in his praise for his
"huskles" as they are called in the
Northwest
The prize winning malamutes are
owned by Mon. Jacques Suzanne, a
trapper, and prospector from the Hud-
sons Bay territory, and are brought
down to Lake Placid every year for
the big ice carnival, where they are
always the center of attraction.

The old timers of the staid per-war
regime can't recognize anything but

During the revolutions it lost this
friendly aspect of quiet and, as the
Soviet settled down here, it became
strictly moral and severe, with only
the grand opera to tighten the load
of propaganda and thousands of or
ders on how to live and prosper and
be happy, notwithstanding closed
shops, lack of bread and medicine and
clothes.

APPORTIONMENTON
ELECTION FIGURES
TWO REPRESE YES IN
HOUSE-LATAH COUNTY'S RATIO.
AT CONVENTIONS

Latah county's number of represen-
tatives in the house of representatives
at the next session of the state legis-
lature will be two, according to of
ficial notification received by Homer
e. Estes, county recorder, from Rob-
ert o. Jones, secretary of state. UP
until the last session of the legislat-
ure Latah county had three represen-
tatives in the lower house of the leg
isIature. The number of representa-
tives from each county has been an
nounced recently in an issue of The
Star-Mirror.
Representation in the house of rep
resentatives is based on the vote for
governor at the last election. In 1920
tn total vote for governor cast in La
tab county was 570S, slightly under
the 5000 mark, which would have APP
portioned this county three men in the
lower house.
Convention Representatives
Official notification of the number
of Latah county representatives to
the state convention has also been
received by Mr. Estes from Secretary
of State Jones. Latah county, ac-
cording to the apportionment allowed
by law, is entitled to nine representa-
tIveS at the Republican state conven-
ton and four representatives to the
Democratic state convention.
Both state conventions are held on
the fourth Tuesday of August, 1922,
or on August %. The state central
committees of each party fixes the
place of the meetings and the conven-
Hon cities will be named in the near
future.
Republicans Lead Count
The counties are entitled to one rep
resentative for every 400 votes cast
for state and congressional officers.
Under this division Latah county had
1853 Republican votes at the last cleo
ton which entities the county to nine
men. There were 1541 democratic
votes cast which gives this county
four men at the state meeting Of the
democrats. AS shown by the figures
the republican voters outnumbered

FOX FARMS PAY
LARGE RETURNS
Single Pair Start Business Of
Millions Yearly.

TORONTO. Dec. 21.-The romance
Of fox farming has been vividly
Illuminated by the holding here Of an
exhibition Of silver black foxes. which
has brought together what is de-
scl1bed as undoubtedly the finest col
lection of foxes in the world.
Although the days OF fabulous
prices for foxes are over the 300-odd
little animals in the exhibition are
valued at more than $500 600. Not
one of them would be sold for less
than $1,000, while many Of them are
valued at $1,000 or more.
Fifteen year ago Blake Naunetter.
a farmers boy at Georgetown, ont,
caught a pair Of ordinary wild foxes
on his fathers farm. Despite parental
opposition, he preserved them and
they became the foundation Of the
largest fox ranch in Ontario. Thirty
four of his animals We're found
worthy OF the exhibition and all are
registered. showing they conform with
the Mendelian process OF breeding. A
portion Of the old Vaunetter farm has
become an all-steel ranch. the first Of
its kind in the world. The home Of
fox ranching is Prince Edward Island,
the baby province Of Canada.
Today the industry fiourishes in
Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New
brunswick, Michigan. New York State
and many other eastern and west
