ORGANIZATION OF
HOLS7EIN BREEDERS
WILL WORK FOR ADVANCEMENT
OF DAIRYING In COUNTY
GANO Is PRESIDENT

An organization of Holstein breed
ers, to be known at the Latah Coun-
ty Holstein Friesian association, has
been formed, with charter member
ship of IA, consisting of breeders in
the Moscow territory. 1t is the in
tention to make an effort, however,
to interest every Holstein breeder in
the county.
The organization was formed at a
mass meeting held Wednesday even
ing at the university dairy building,
at which w. E. Meyer, northwestern
representative for the Holstein-
Friesian Association of America, was
the principal speaker. Professor F..
w. Atkeson presided, and introduced
Mr. Meyer, who spoke of the need of
a county organization, and outlined
the procedure of forming an organi-
zation, as well as the work that might
be accomplished. He explained in
detail the work being done by the
state and national organizations.
Mr.. Meyers also compared the milk
and cheese consumption of the Am
erican people with that of foreign
showing the wonderful
field for development and increase,
and showing that there is little dan
ger of OVERRIDING the production of
dairy products.
Says This Ideal Location
Mr. Meyers complimented the
breeders present ON the excellent
quality and large number of Hol
stems in this immediate territory. He
also congratulated them on their ex-
cellent location, within the shadow of
the University of Idaho, where the
advice of the experts in the college
1f agriculture is always available,
and where they can profit by the ex-
detrimental work carried on.
The officers of the new Latah coun-
y organization are: Ward Gano,
president; Theodore Roster, vice
president; H. R. Abel, secretary
reasurer The officers, together with (
Professor Atkeson and j. N. Collins, I
comprise the board of directors. The
,fficers will meet at the call of the
PRESIDENT to put in form the consit-
ution and bylaws.

DIETRICH TO HEAR
MANY CASES HERE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
TERM IN MOSCOW OPENS DE-
CEMB& 3

| hM IuOSOOM O1ENS De-
CEMBER 8
When the fall term of the federal
district court opens here on Decem-
ber 3, Judge Frank S. Dietrich will be
confronted with an unusually large
number Of cases, in fact, it is expect
ed that more hearings will be con-
Quoted at this term than at any time
for the past several years. Virtually
all of the defendants will face the
court on liquor charges. The fed
eral prohibition agents in the north
central part of Idaho have been ex-
ceedingly busy for several months
past and their activities have result
ed in almost 100 arrests, possibly
more and possibly a few less, the
exact number not yet being tabulated.
Many of those involved in cases
coming before the next term of court
are persons well known in their re-
spectiye communities, and on this ac-
count great interest will center about
the federal building in Moscow for a
few weeks starting with December 8.

LOOKING AHEAD

The State Highway Commission is
looking ahead. 1t sees in the COM
pletion of the vehicular tunnel under
the Hudson river and the bridge
across the Delaware river between
Camden and Philadelphia a great
increase in traffic on New Jerseys
highways. 1t realizes that plans
must be made now to take care of
this traffic. 1t has laid before the
and the legislature three
plans and strongly recommends n
as the proper solution.
This plan calls for a fifty-foot
approach through Jersey City to the
entrance of the tunnel; a highway
tunnel under the Haekensack and
Passaic rivers and a highway around
Newark to be extended beyond Eliza
beth where it joins the present high
way continuing through Railway to
Perth Amboy. Here it is recon-
mended that a new approach be
built to the new bridge on this side
of the Raritan river and the pave
ment on the south side widened
to a point near Morgan where It
is proposed to build a new highway
TO beyond Keyport thereby eliminate
ing Keyport for all through traffic.

himself. Then he caught a cough
ing grunt, and out of the tepee which
the trapper had entered, emerged
two forms, the first bent and sham
bling, the other that of Jean Bernard.
They picked their way, walking
close together, between the moose
hide tents, and as they drew ear
the sscdge, Stane saw that the
shambling form was that of Chief
George, and that he walked with
the nuzzle of the trapper's pistol in
the small of his back.
They marched up the lake five
hundred yards OF more, the camp
behind them maintaining the silence
of the dead, then Bernard halted.
Now" he said, 1--WE weel talk"
Pointing his pistol at the Indian
and speaking in the patois of the
tribe, he addressed him.

Indian, shaking with fear and cold.

and the burning watery the blankets,

the Chief started a little, then he
made a mumbling admission:
Eyes, I have seen them. They are
a great price"
But who pays?"
"I know not. A white man, that
is all 1 know. The rest is known to
Chigmok alone"
"Whither has the white maiden
been carried?"
Chief George waved his hand to
the East. Through the woods to
the lake of Little Moose, there to
meet the man who pays the price"
Bernard looked at Stane. Deere

Eyes! Let him go"
The trapper nodded and then adj
dressed the Indian once more.
"Thou wilt go back to thy lodge
now, but this is not the end. For
the evil thai hath been done the
price will have to be paid"
Chief George waited for no second
bidding, but began to shamble off
across the snow toward his en-
campment. The two men watched
him go, in silence for a little time,
and then Stane spoke.

All of this suggests still another
development that must be taken into
consideration. With the completion
of the vehicular tunnel under the
Hudson river and the proposed tun-
mel under the Hackensack and Pas
sale rivers a roundabout highway
will be built 81 as to escape the con-
gestion in the heart of Newark and
Elizabeth. This will necessarily
make the route much longer and
New Workers will be inclined to take
the Staten Island route, coming
across the Tottenville ferry on the
way to the shore. This will tend to
increase the demand for the Staten
Island bridge.
1t is up to Perth Amboy, then,
to look into the future just as the
State Highway Commission is doing,
and plan now for the development
that is bound to take place within
the next four or five years. The
City Plan Commission is prepared to
ahead with just such problems
this provided it is given sufficient
funds to work with. This Is one
Of the most important matters before

up next years budget must give it

Under the light of the stars, and

the lake for some distance, then
leaving its surface they turned
abruptly eastward, following. an un-
broker trail through a country
which began rapidly to alter in char
acter. The great woods thinned out
and the way they followed took an
upward swing, whilst a steady wind
with the knife-edge cold of the
North began to blow in their faces.
The trail was not an easy one, and
the dogs whiE ed as they bent to the
collars, but Jean Bernard, with a
frame of iron and with muscles like
s~teel-springs marched steadily on,
for what to Stane seemed hours, then
in the shelter of a cliff crowned with
trees he called a halt.

Home Hasards
MEDICINE MISTAKES

Nearly every home has a collec.
ton Of poisons, ranging in severity
from iodine to bichloride of mer.
curry. Usually these substances are
kept In the medicine-cabinet along
with castor oil and cough strip. The
indiscriminate storing of harmless
and deadly substances has often re-
suited in taking poisons by mistake.
Every bottle of poison should be
correctly labeled, but even the skull
and cross-bones won't always pre-
vent mistakes. The safest way is to
keep poisons in a separate cabinet
under lock and key if there are chill
dren in the house-or stick pins in
the corks of bottles to prevent mis-.
takes in the dark.
Always learn the antidote to every
poison kept in the house, and in
case of poisoning apply it promptly
while you are waiting for the doctoI
to come. Remember that every
second counts and prompt treatmen;
will often prevent death. Most
poisons are now supplied by the
drug stores with stock labels giving
the antidote.
If you have bottles in your medi-
cine caplnet winch are Improperly
labeled, throw them out unless you
can positively identify their con-
tents. Most cases of accidental
poisoning have been due to bottles
improperly labeled or not labeled at
all. An example is the similarity in
the color of iodine and argerol. Keep
them separate and keep tragedy out
of your home!.
Common I'VE, which is used in
nearly every household, is a violent
poison. There is very little danger
of an adult taking it by mistake, but
it should be kept out of reach of
the children. The same applies to
many d~isinfectants and insect ex-
terminators.

Health Talks
ARE YOU DRINKING-wHAT?

The varieties of bootleg beverages
that flood the cities, towns and way
side stations at present are almost
legion. 1t is the duty of every
physician to warn his patients or
anyone with whom he may come in
friendly contact against drinking
this stuff"
The United States Internal Rev
enue Department during the past
three years has analysed some 5000
samples or brands of this m%an-killer.
They are skillfully concocted in
many cases, but all are rank poison.
One can hardly understand how a
man will put something in his
stomach which deals a death blow.
They contain, besides aldehydes and
acetaldehyde, many other p%oisons
from the metals of the distilling
process. and coloring matter which
is rich in misunderstanding doses.
Hooch is poisonous for the reason
that special dis~tillation is necessary
to drive off the poisons. This the
amateur or home process does not
accomplish. In addition to this the
alcohol is often not grain alcohol,
but a poisonous substitute of a
greatly inferior quality. Even wood
alcohol and denatured alcohol,
methyl and benzine are component
parts.
These poisonous drinks attack in
some measure all parts of the body
but particularly the higher brain
centers, the spinal cord, the. nervous
system. especially the optic nerve,
the stomach and the digestive sys-
tenn. Paralysis and conditions
which have the symptoms of loco
motor ataxia result from brain and
spinal-cord Affections. Partial and
sometimes permanent blindness re-
suit from the poisons attacking the
optic nerve. Serious heart dilation
often results and death soon follows.
As far as available figures show.
more than 10000 deaths have oc-
Cured during the past two years as
a direct result of this folly of drink
ing.
The most serious phase of all is
the condition of the individual in
the lowering of physical condition
and decentralization of manhood in
reproducing the species. Think of
the handicap imposed on the Off
spring of such debasers of mind and
body. How many will be foolish
enough to sacrifice their lives at
Christmas Is a question.

pure goods"

WANT TAXES REDUCED

-
Just how much of a desire there
Is for a reduction in taxes will be
shown by the public's attitude on
the plan proposed by Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon to cut $685.
100000 off the income tax, those
with the smaller incomes receiving
the greatest consideration. Congress-
men are being flooded with letters
and kilograms urging favorable ac-
ton on the Mellon plan, but there
is still a strong sentiment in con-
gress against doing anything that
might jeopardize the soldiers bonus.
More letters and petitions are needed
and they must be kept up until the
legislation is enacted.
In the case of our own representa-
tive, Congressman Geran, he has de-
clared himself positively for the
bonus. But he has also declared
that he does not see why taxes cam
not be reduced at the same time.
All right, let Congressman Geran
maintain that position. In that case
he certainly will not oppose a bill
to bring about tax reduction along
the lines of the Mellon plan. Let
him vote for such a reduction and
then show the way to give the bonus
also, as he intimates he can.
There isn't any question about the
popularity of the tax reduction plan.
Seldom has anything received such
unanimous and enthusiastic support
as this. The great middle class who
have been bearing the brunt of the
taxation from the beginning at last
see a ray of hope. The rich fellow
has been investing his money in
tax exempt securities and the com-
mon laborer, on account of his ex-
emptions for children, etc, has not
had to pay any tax. The average
man has found the burden growing
harder each year. And the outlook
was not promising until Secretary
Mellon came along with his proposal.
The way is made so plain for a
zeal reduction in taxes that anyone
can see 1t. And the suggestion that
surtaxes be eliminated win tend to
bring the money of the rich out of
the tax exempt class and put In
legitimate business where it will not
only help build up prosperity, but
VIII become taxable as well.
For congress to ignore this tax
reduction plan will be to defy the
viii of a great majority of the peo-
pie. The action of every member
will be watched carefully. The rec
ord of every one will be known on
this particular issue. and there will
be some zeal explaining to be done
should any member vote against this
relief so urgently needed by the
people.
