and greed?
 Perfect health is always associ- ated with much hunger. It makes no difference whether it be man, bird or beast. Have no fear of starving your foxes to death, so long as you feed them one good, clean, nourishing meal daily, permit them to keep clean and have either clean water or snow by them always. You understand that you need not water foxes in winter time while there is plenty of clean snow in their pens. We have so little snow here after frost comes, that I some times cut a block of ice from the lake and place it in each pen, where they will lick it full of little round holes, far down in many places on the surface of that ice They like to lick clean ice better than to eat dirty snow (dirty from their own filth).
 l feed large quantities of charcoal burned from hard wood, boiled in fat and fed as fast-breaker after a days fast. Charcoal absorbs gases, sweetens all the foodways, and is harmless. Also I daub fresh raw meat in clean, hot wood ashes and feed to young pups, as we'll as adults. No, fresh ashes will not hurt foxes. Sand, too, I wash and roll meat in, as foxes require lots of clean grit, like fowls. All the time their new coat is priming, I feed nothing but raw meat. am not one who believes in constantly vary ing and changing fox diet They like habits. They do not like to have their food constantly changed, but like to get used to it in a certain way, and to certain kind, then stick to that through an entire sea- son. In hot weather no raw meat should be fed. Bread, milk, and lots of sweet water, eggs, and such, is summer diet that will keep them in perfect health. But see that you get WHOLE WHEAT flour, not the imitation. That means: get your wheat, take it to mill and take away the WHOLE product in one sack. Read up on white flour (Phy- sical Culture magazine is a good me dium.)
 If you get vixen too fat she will not reproduce. See that the male is always well fed six weeks before breeding time comes along. Do not fear that his mate will starve be- cause he ''hogs" the food She is perfectly capable, and knows how, to take her share away from him if she wants it badly enough. Avoid all sloppy foods. is my say so. I never feed so-called "mashes." The feeding of young pups is another story, which you shall have later
 l have no doubt that there are some excellent "'fox biscuits on the market. But I have had some bitter experiences with a certain kind, and a certain company that put them out. I prefer to make my own here after, though I would gladly use those of commercial manufacture if l knew they were better than mine; flor I am one who believes that there is nothing too good for my pets, and treat them accordingly Some day I hope that the human race will come to learn that there is nothing too good for it's offspring, and the mothers of the race

INDEPENDENCE
 PASSES BEYOND
 PROSPECT STAGE

Enthu.ed by the volume and apparent richness of the ore body opened up this winter in the lnde- pendence tunnel, and speaking in superlativc terms of the work ac tompished by Owney McF adden And Eli Watland under trying con- ditions, s. P. Fitzgerald is back from visit to the property, which he thoroughly sampled. Sam is strong in his praise of the accom- plishments performed by the two husky miners, going so far as to say that in his opinion they have established a record for the district in the amount of actual develop- hent done during the time they took to drive l5O feet and pack ln all their supplies on their backs,
 So far as the ore showing is concerned. he has no hesitation in placing the Independence beyond lhe prospect stage. The cIosscut at the face of the I50-foot tunnel shows g feet of ore, with only one wal in sight, and in fact all the work, with the exception of a small dyke, shows ore of apparent high milling grade. A ni writ ing he has not received returns on the samples taken from 100 feet of the work, but the mineral in inc ore shows for itself and there is no question as to its being of Commercial value.

MAPLE BAY IS PRODUCING
 GOOD RESULTS

- Vince and Jim Lade, who have the contract for developing the Outsider mine at Maple Bay which is under bond 10 the Granby coma pany, were in this week, along with E. J. Conway, field engineer for the company, coming up on the Azurite. With them were Dan Woodmore, Wm. McPher- son, Monte and Mrs, Howe They have been driving two tuns nels, one of which is in 60 feet and the other 100 feet, both fol-: lowing the same vein, and on ore. The vein shows to be seven feet wide and carries seven per cent copper. The contractors took down men to replace Woedmore, McPherson and Howe, who had quit and also Blackie Irving, to run the eating department, which had been efficiently handled by Mrs. Howe.

FEVER ACRES
BUT BIGGER CROPS
FEWER ACRES In FARMS In
MANY STATES IN 1920 THAN IN
1910, SURVEY SHOWS

Madison, WiS.-(A PO-Agricul-
tural production in the United States
during the last decade has increased
although the number of acres in ag-
riculture has declined, according to
statistics compiled by the institute
for research in Land economics and
account for the remaining decrease. -
public utilities, with headquarters
here
The study indicates a return of ag-
riculture to normal conditions by the
steady increase in population, and in
cludes a comparison of the increase
in population with the interest in
land devoted to agriculture.
''The farm area increased only ap-
proximateIy nine percent from 1910
to 1920, and most of this was in the
semi-arid states,'' the summary de-
clares. ''There were fewer acres in
farms in 1920 than in 1910 in many
of the states in the corn belts and in
virtually all the states east of the
Mississippi river.
'Part of this decrease is accounted
for by errors in former enumeration,
and in the south by failure to include
woodland as a part of the farm area.
The growth of cities, development of
factories, industries, mining and the
increase in highways and railroads
count for the Bemaining decrease"
more significant is the permanent
reversion of farm land to forest and
busth because it was not fit for agri-
culture the summary continues.
Throughout the eastern section, land
has gone back to a more economical
use. The last census reveals an in
crease of 5.5 percent in area of i'm
proved land but an increase of SO
percent in unimproved land. The in
crease in unimproved land is almost
equal in acres to the increase in all
farm land. The significant fact is
that production has maintained and
even increased by more intensive
of the better lands and
less intensive use of poorer lands"

DISMISSAL TAVIS Case
DENIED BY JUDGE nelson

Preliminary hearing of Charles F.
Tavis of Potlatch, under arrest on
a charge of statutory offense
against his 17-year-oId step-daugh-
ter, Donna Berry, was resumed this
afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Latah
county probate court, before Judge
Adrian Nelson.
The defendant. through his attor-
neys, Warren Truitt and William
Stillinger filed a motion to quash
the complaint and proceedings on
the ground that the court had no
jurisdiction to try the defendant and
no authority to cause a warrant to
be issued for his arrest, and for the
further alleged reason that no evil
dence had been introduced by dis
position or otherwise tending to
show directly or Indirectly that the
defendant was guilty of the crime
charged.
The motion was extensively argued
by both sides; and, after careful con-
sideration, was denied by Judge
Nelson. .
Prosecuting Attorney Frank L.
Moore appeared for the state. The
evidence in the hearing will prob
ably all be in this evening.

expect the administration either
through congress or by the Interstate

freight rates on agricultural prod
ucts, Representative Tincher, repub-

tural committee, told President Cool
idge during a conference today on the
farm situation
Mr.. Tincher, who was asked by Mr..
Coolidge to confer with him on agrl-
cultural conditions, reported that
with a reduction of freight rates the
situation largely would right itself.
He indicated that he would not sup
port the move to repeal section l5-A
the rate provision of the transporta-
ton act, and said he anticipated no
effective endeavor to repeal or
change the Capper-Tincher grain
trading act
No Surplus of Fit Wheat

sas, said today in a statement deal
ing with the situation confronting
western farmers. Furthermore, Mr..
Little said, there is no over-supply OF
wheat in the world generally.
A reduction of production, Mr.. Lit
tie said, would result in crop which
would not meet home demands. He
favors government price guarantee
to the farmers.

At the meeting of farmers, bankers
and others interested directly and in
directly in the wheat industry in
eastern Washington and northern
Idaho, held Wednesday in Colfax,
resolution was adopted calling on

business men. Congressman Sum-
mers explained the purpose of the

had been plenty, and take some def
mite action.
Government Control Asked
The meeting expressed itself in the
following resolution:
THAT this meeting go on record as
indorsing the cooperative marketing
of wheat and that we recommend an
ficient to raise the wheat-growing
industry to par with other indus
tries. AS a necessary adjunct to the
tariff we recommend some form of
government control for the export
able surplus.
"That, whereas, immediate action is
vital, we urge creation of an export
commission and that President Cool
idge raise the tariff on wheat to 45
cents a bushel."
A further resolution, submitted by
e. l.. French, state director Of ag-
riculture, and adopted, was:
'This convention urges Henry Wal
lace, secretary of agriculture, to
hold public hearings in the north Pa
cific coast states for the purpose of
adopting new grodes of standards for
wheat and hay raised in Washington;
these standards to more nearly give
true grades and a fair chance on the
worlds markets.
Congressman Summers suggested
and the meeting agreed that a perm
anent committee be formed by selec-
ton of representatives from the fol-
lowing groups, Farm bureau, farm
ers' union, grange, State College of
University of Idaho, ma
tlOnaI banks, state banks, 1ntermed1-
ate credit banks, business interests,
legal counselors, cooperative wheat
