Tagging the Drones

Boise, June 17--Lazy husbands in
Idaho are likely to find this state an
uncomfortable place in which to live,
if probate judges in other counties
adopt the policy that Judge f. j..
Chalfant of this, Ada county, has act
ually put into force and effect, for
he is applying what is known as the
lazy husband law. Willard Case
was the first husband to feel it. He
was sentenced to serve four months
at hard labor on the county roads be-
cause he refused to work and provide
for his wife.
Mrs. Case, mother of child of one
year and about to be the mother of q
second child, told Judge Chalfant her
husband had furnished neither clothes,
shelter nor food for her or her child
Case demanded a jury trial which was
granted A jury fisk men was drawn.
1t took them about fifteen minutes to
decide that Case was guilty.
Judge Chalfant lost no time in pass
ing sentence and made it plain to Case
that Ada county does not propose to
have lazy husbands within its con-
fines; that if they wont work volun-
tarily, they win be forced to work
and not only support their wives but
themselves as well.

General satisfaction has been ex
pressed at the Chautauqua which clos
ed six-day run in this city last Mon
day evening. The opening program
by the Patton brothers seems to have
been the general favorite, and Sun
days program, barring the children IS
circus, was the least liked The play,
The Shepherd of the Hills" given
by the New York Players on last Sat
urday night, drew the largest crowd
about 700 being in attendance--and
the Garner Jubilee Singers and the
lecturer, Norman v. Pearce, had the
next largest crowd on the closing
night, Monday. The Gamers did not
come up to the expectations of the
audience either in their afternoon or
evening appearance.
The weather throughout the entire
week was anything but the. Chautau-
qua variety, however, and this pre-
vented the season ticket sale going
over as welleas it might have. There
was a slight deficit, which was reaGsy
made up with no complaint on the
part of anyone.
A contract was made for next
years Chautauqua with 80 local guar
antors agreeing to each take $25
worth of tickets. In fact, some 90
signed this agreement, and the con
sequent reduction for each individual
will be prorated when the settlement
is made. The contract calls for prae-
tically the same service as that rem
dered this year
Lester VonBargen received the SIS,
Mrs. j. p Sorenson the $40 and Prof.
Fred Rantz the $5 awarded by the
to ticket purchasers.

NEzPERcE TAKES FIRST IN
PRAIRIE-vALLEY LEAGUE
Win from Grangeville for Champion
ship, But Lose Two Exhibi-
tions to Winchester

The Prairid Valley League schedule
came to close Sunday at the local
ball park when Nezperce took a hard
fought battle from Grangeville, to 4.
These two teams had been tied up to
this time, each having won four and
lost one, and large crowd was out TO
see the final contest. The other teams
of the league, 0rofino and Kamiah,
forfeited their chances to win and did
not play Sunday.
The local team cinched the game in
the first inning when Henrichs made
first and went third on Stellmon 3
single. Moser followed with a triple,
scoring Henrichs and Stellmons and
crossed the rubber himself on Gertje's
sacrifice hit. A score was made in
each of the three following innings
and then Nezperce suffered shut-out
when Hazelbaker took over the box for
Grangeville.
The Camas Prairie bunch was slow
in getting started but came out strong
in the last two innings when three of
their runs were made. McGee and
Hazelbaker held up the pitching end
for Grangeville, striking out ten men
and allowing nine hits. Schlader
pitcher the entire game for the locals
with five strike-outs to his credit.
The batteries:
Grangeville-McGee, Hazelbaker and

BY KENNETH CLARK,
international News Service.

There were no indications today
that either President Coolidge or any
of the officials Of his Administration
were worried because the strike in
the hard coal fields had gone into
effect according to schedule.
They were just as, ccmplacent ana
optimistic this morning as they were
two weeks ago. being confident that
the country would not suffer for
lack. Of fuel even if anthracite pro
duction should be halted for con-
siderable period.
Hammond Not Pessinlistic.
while there's life, there's hope, "
said John Hays Hammond, chairman
of the United States Coal Commits
sion, referring to the fact that the
Pinchot conference at Harrisburg
still was functioning and that an
agreement was possible so long as
amicable discussions continued.
Predictions that the suspension OF
work in the hard coal fields would De
only of a few days duration ana
probably would not last longer than
Monday, were made here today py
national labor leaders who are IN
close touch with the situation.
They said that other conferences
between the operators and miners to
negotiate a new wage contract would
be held with Governor Pinchot'
peace proposals as the basis or dis
cussion.
Miners Said to Be Willing.
The miners are said to be willing
to 20 into such a conference and
talk terms. 1t was pointed out that
even if the strike had not been Or
dersd, there would have been no
work today, while tomorrow is Sum-
dav. a day of rest, and Monday Is
Labor Day, another holiday.
.-rhere is every possibility" one
labor leader said, that work iii

mines longer than these three day s
when no work would have been
done If the suspension order had
not been issued. If the suspension
continues over Monday. do not be.

It was suggested that the new
conference might be called by the
operators IL Governor Pinchot did
not succeed in effectink an agree.
ment over the weekend.
After word reached here that the
Harrisburg conference had RECESSED
until next week. a short eonfer-
ence on the coal situation was held
at the White House between Presi-
dent Coolidge and Chairman Ham
mond.
It was announced subsequently
that so long as the negotiations

Commission. fixing responsibility
for the striks, would be withheld.
