Mary Pickford Dolls to be Manu-
featured.

Christian Won Schneidau, painter
of renown, has suddenly become a
sculptor, all because Mary Pickford
decided to put a doll on the mar
ket.
When Miss Pickford decided to go
into The doll business as the result
of an insisltant demand on the part
of the countless children who wor-
Ship at her shrine, a representative
was dispatched to Europe to search
for sculptor who could do bust
of little Mary from which the Pick
ford dolls could be modelled. AL
though eight of the worlds greatest
scculptors tried, none was able to
register that elusive spirit which
seems to have endowed Mary Pick
ford with eternal youth. Since Miss
Pickford vowed that no doll should
go out which was not of the very
highest both as to construction and
likeness OF herself, DIT began to look
as if the whole proposition would
fall by the wayside.
7 h en- came Christian Won
Schneidau, now residing in Los
Angeles 1t had been said that the
boldness and vieility of Won Schnei-
dau's canvasses, suggest the quali-
ties of sculpture Olthougfl he had
done practically no modelling since
leaving school, this artist decided to
undertake the task, with the result
that he produced life size bust Of
the celebrated screen star which Is
startling in its resemblance. 1t is
estimated that a million dolls year
will be produced from the likeness.
Through an ingenious process OF
reduction a perfect resemblance will
be obtained in the dolls head.

Meeting CALLED
TO FORM DISTRICT
TO BUILD BIG dam


Announcement Is made from the
office Of the Idaho Reclamation as
sociation at Pocatello that the for
NAL call for hearing on August %
at O'Clock was issued Monday by
the board of county commissioners
OF Twin Falls county.
At the suggestion Of Mr.. Flenner.
managing director OF the association,
the commissioners Of Twin Falls
county will invite the commission
ers OF the other seven counties In
which parts Of the proposed district
to attend the hearing for pur-
poses eli consultation.
The petition will be finally gone
over at the hearing and date for the
first election set. AT this election
the question Of organizing the sup
er district will be disposed of, and
II 1t shall be organized, requiring q
two-thirds majority, another cleo
tion Will be held on the bond is
sue.
The first question asked by con-
gresham Smith when he stopped
over in Pocatello few days ago ON
his way home and visited the Of
Zee Of the Idaho Reclamation as
sociation was regarding the pro-
@rese o. che big district, on which
the government is waiting. Where
ever Mr.. Smith has addressed any
groups of citizens since his return
to the state he has dweIt on the
Importance OF the American Falls
project to sections directly bene-
fitted, as well as to the entire south
ern part of the state.
Nothing ] know OF, he states,
will do more to stimulate business
along all lines, and notably agri-
culture"
Congressman Smith makes II plain
that unless the American Falls pro-
ject is successful now 1t will be
abandoned by the government for
many years. Other states that have
received no such amounts as Idaho
for reclamation will insist upon their
projects being put through, and they
are ready with their share OF the
proportionate expense.
He adds that the government has
allotted the money to pay its share
OF the cost Of the American Falls
project and only awaits favorable
action OF the land owners OF the
proposed district.

Finger Prints Sent by Telegraph.

Fingerprints for the identifica-
tion of criminals can now be sent
across the world by telegraph, writes
G.. 7. Crook In a London newspaper
MIR. Collins, chief of the Finger
print Bureau, New Scotland Yard,
is the inventor of the code which
enables this to be done. BY this
system, If man is arrested in Lon
don and 1t is Thought that he has
been previously convicted in, say,
Australia, the police could send a
code telegram something like this:

And a few weeks later, as John

There are 100000 sets of finger
prints at New Scotland Yard A set

1t is the system of classified tion,

The classification Is based on the
impressions of the whole ten digits,
and by the use OF certain letters and
numerals the primary classification
Yields 1,024 separate groups or di-
visions.
These groups are split up by count
ing the ridges between well-defined
fixed points and noting Enclosures or
lake formations. Then when the
classification number Is arrived at
the set is indexed and filed.
When a set Of fingerprints is re-
ceived at New Scotland Yard for

them and another officer checks tho
formula given, and If a duplicate rec
ord is in the collection 1t is recog-
nized by the searcher, usually with

Ford Retail Sales Make New Record.
Company Reports Total Sales Have
Reached 5,7e9 Machines Day.

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks
and tractors established new high
record during June, when, accord
ing to statement issued from the
Ford factory at Detroit, an average
of 5,709 machines were sold dialy.
Ford sales have been showing a
constant increase each month this
year; June being the highest In the
history of the company with total
of 148,439 cars, trucks and tractors.
Of this number, 6,054 were sold by
the Ford company of Canada and
9,435 by the various European Ford
companies and South American
branches, reaching purchasers in
practically every civilized country
In the world.
With the closing of business for
June, Ford records disclosed the fact
that total sales for the first six
months of 1922 were well over the
half-million mark, the exact figures
being 652,261. This is also q new
high record as it is considerably in
advance of any previous half-year
period.
July Ford sales are expected to
equal, and probably eclipse June.
The estimated output of cars, trucks
and tractors has been placed at 151,-
767, although dealers have requisi-
toned more than 100000.
Ford officials state that every at
tempt has been made to supply their
dealers with sufficient cars to fill
their orders, but that for the past
three months, prompt deliveries have
been impossible with some of the
types. The demand for Ford enclosed
cars has been especially hard to meet,
due to the ever-increasing populari-
ty OF the Coupe and Sedan for all
year-around use.
A reflection of general business
conditions is seen in the record Of
Ford truck sales, which show an in
crease Of eighty-four per cent over
last year. Merchants and farmers
alike have come to recognize the
utility Of the motor truck in cutting
transportation costs and speeding up
deliveries, and the fact that they are
buying nearly twice as many as
year ago clearly points to better
business conditions.
At the present time, Ford is en-
ploying $4,000 men In Detroit.

KANSAS NEIGHBORS
regret LOSS OF
LINDSAY BROTHERS
rc,ql Paper Speaks in High Praise
of Their Worth as Citizens and
Business Men.

Lindsay Bros, who last week
purchased the Republican and who
will take charge the first OF the
week received very fine notice in
the Caney, (Kan.) Daily Chronicle,
when they left that city for their
western home early in July. They
sold their paper in Caney to Truxton
Talbot and M. Armstrong who
came from Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Mountain Home people will recog-
nize Mr.. Talbott's inimitable style
in the article from the Chronicle,
which follows:
1.-THE Lindsay brothers, better
known as Tom and Fred, and their
respective families, left early this
morning via automobile for the
northwest. 1t is now their inten-
tion to locate in Mountain Home,
Idaho, where they expect to take over
weekly newspaper,
1t would be no exaggeration to
say that no departure ever occasioned
more genuine regret among local peo-
pie than did the Lindsay's going.
Among their personal friends were
numbered practically every man, wo-
man, and child in the city; and their
business associations seem to have
been fully as widespread and as
pleasant.
Whether they know it or not, the
citizens of Caney owe "a sizeable debt
to the Lindsays. They came here
when the Chronicle was nothing
more than a broken down plant ac-
customed to printing daily hand
bill; and by the liberal use of elbow
grease, applied all the way from IL
to 20 hours a day, they put daily
newspaper "over" in this community.
By doing this they made it possible
for Caney to compete with other
cities In the getting of trade and
the daily supplying of needed in
formation that has to be spread II
the community's activities are to be
real community affairs, and If there
is to be genuine community spirit
in the community.
Good luck ito the Lndsays! We
hope that they find "a successful To-
cation in a place where the financial
returns and social opportunities will
fully equal those they enjoyed in
Caney, and where there will be plen-
ty of game fishing and hunting for
Tom and Fred"
