Not far from Uncle Wiggily s hol-
low stump bungalow was beaver
pond, and in a house of the pond
lived Toodle and Noodle Flattail,
the beaver boys. In summer Toodle
and Noodle swan around the pond,

Beavers live on bark, and they like
that from the aspen tree better than
any other, though they eat willow
bark also.

HOW TO SUCCEED

Here are the rules for success given by Chauncey
DepeW on his eighty-cighth birthday:
Strength Of character.
A genuine fondness Of work and his particular
work
willingness 10 give more service than he is paid
for.
A willingness TO finish others work for them
A bad memory for quitting time.
Good judgment and common sense
Real ability.
A sense of appreciation of the other fellows eff
forts
Astounding and never-failing ambition.
They all sound good, but the first three seem fund
amental. Has there been any real success with
out strength of character liking for whatever work
one is engaged in and bigness of view that considers
the work itself important than the immediate rec
ompense?
Considering how many people come into an office
and insist seeing the boss personally, wouldn't 1t
be interesting if somebody, some day, asked 10 see
him "mpersonallyg'
There are reports that the Italian Fascistc are

sence Of United States Commissioner

hearing set for September 18. A cash
bond was furnished.
Herman P. Shodene, farmer, liv
ing near Troy, was found with COM
plete still, several barrels of mash,
and large quantity of moonshine on

Judge Nelson. He was given a pre-
liminary hearing and was bound over

funds mounting
FOR JAPAN AID
$4,000, 800 MINIMUM TO BE
HANDLED THROUGH AMERICAN
RED CROSS

hingtOn-ResponSe to the Red
Cross appeal to the American people
for $5,0O0,0O0 for the relief of earth
quake sufferers in Japan continued
unabated today, and belief was ex-
pressed that the amount would be
pledged by Monday. Officials empha-
sized that $5,000,000 is the minimum
sought.
Reports to national headquarters
were too meagre for an estimate of
the amount thus far subscribed in
various sections of the country. To
date, however, $170,960 has been re-
ceived in contributions made direct
to headquarters here.
Advices from Boston said it's quota
of $255,000 had been raised, while
the central division comprising ten
states in the middle west, reported
collections and pledges of $168,0OO.
The executive committee of the Red
Cross spent the entire day in ses-
sion in order to speed up relief mea
sures. Word was received that 800
tons of supplies had been shipped on
the President Taft which sailed
Thursday for Yokohama from San
Francisco, and that a large consign-
ment of food, medical and hospital
supplies were being sent to Japan
aboard the Tyndarius by the people
of Seattle.
New York Over Its $1,O0O,000
New York-New York has passed
the goal of $1,OOO,0OO set for it in
the nations campaign for $5,O00,000
to aid sufferers in stricken Japan.
Members of the New York chapter
of the Japan relief committee of the
American Red Cross announced "the
sky as the limit - in it's drive for
funds and it was predicted unoffici-
ally that the metropolis alone would
donate a sum almost equal to that
asked the entire country.

SHEARN HAS LONG
CRIMINAL RECORD
LATAH COUNTY PRISONER RE-
TURNED TO LEAVENWORTH-
WAS FEDERAL PRISONER

Thomas Shearn, who was arrested
by Latah county officers at Bovill on
July 21, on a charge of burglary, was
turned over to D. w. Burns, a parole
officer from the state penitentiary
at Topeka, Kansas, on Friday
morning by the Latah county sheriff
to be returned to the federal pri-
son.
At the time the man was captured
the sheriff's office sent copies of his
fingerprints to the bureau of Grim
inal identification at Leavenworth,
in order TO ascertain the mans pre-
vious record. Within a few days a
report came back giving a detailed
account of the mans escapadeS and
the sheriffs office here was asked to
hold him pending the arrival OF a
guard from the national penitentlary
from which Shearn was on parole at
the time of his capture. Upon the
arrival of the officer, Shearn waived
extradition and accompanied him
without any complaint. His record
in part follows:
First term was served at Spokane,
Wash, where he was three months in
the county Jail on burglary charge.
At Basin, Wyoming, he was charged
with vagrancy and l. W. w. activ-
ity, and served sentence in the Wy
oming state penitentiary. Later, be-
ing charged with petty larceny at
Seattle, he served 1S0 days in the
county jail At Topeka, Kansas on
December 13, 1921, Shearn was con-
victed of grand larceny and sentenc-
ed to from one to seven years in the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth.
He received his parole from the ma
tional institution in December, 1922,
and had since, until his arrest, been
working in the lumber camps
around Bovill

Forest Fires Near Portland
Portland-(A. P.)-Numerous for
est fires in the vicinity of Portland,
in the lower Columbia river district,
are giving fire fighters serious con-
Germ today, some having already
caused considerable damage, and
threatening greater losses.
Dispatch Note to Greek Government
Paris-(A. P.)-The inter-allied
council of ambassadors, after con-
sidering the Greco-Italian dispute, an
nounced upon their adjournment this
evening, that the decision taken would
be secret pending the dispatch of
note to the Greek government, a
copy of which would also be sent to
the council Of the League of Ma
tions, now at Geneva. They promised
that the text of the note would be
made public tomorrow noon. Baron
Avezzano, the Italian ambassador, in
formed the council that Italy was
ready to accept the ruling OF the am
bassadors' council providing that GER
tain essential demands of the Italian
ultimatum to Greece be maintained.
At the conclusion of the session, it
was said that the councils decision
was quite satisfactory, and probably
would be acceptable to Italy if Greece
met the councils demands.

HECLA MINE REHABILT-
TATED FOLLOWING FIRE

Burke, Idaho-(A. P)-Greater
than its predecessor which was de-
stroyed in the Burke and Mace con-
flagratiOn of June 1914, another
Hecla shaft plant group is arising
here. The Hecla ranked among the
worlds foremost silver and lead pro-
ducing mines, will be yielding ore at
its former speed, something like 275,-
900 tons annually, within about six
months, the builders of the new plant
estimate.
Most of the first month of recon
struction Of the mine buildings was
devoted to merely removing the de-
bris, distorted steel, destroyed or
damaged equipment and charred
buildings, which filled many cars.
About hundred and fifty men are
now rebuilding, with the mountain
shelf occupied by many carloads of
new steel, concrete and machinery,
which are steadily taking form.
Ninety-five per cent of the material
entering into the construction of the
new exterior workings is said to be
non-combustible. Modern engineer
ing ideas are being incorporated into
the new workings to make them more
economical of time and money, as
well as greater than the famous old
plant.

funds FOR JAPAN
SUFFERERS ASKED
RELIEF WORK TO BE HANDLED
THROUGH RED CROSS-LATAH
COUNTY'S QUOTA Is $500

In wire received by G. l.. Butter
field, chairman of the Latah County
chapter of the American Red Cross
from the manager of the western di-
vision of the Red Cross, at San Fran
cisco, this county is asked to con-
tribute $500 toward the nationwide
campaign for relief for the Japanese
earthquake sufferers. The message
suggests that all organizations, such
as lodges, churches, and civic bodies,
be asked to contribute through the
Red Cross, which President Coolidge
has designated as the authoritative
American agency for relief.
Mr.. Butterfield is sending out let
ters to the various branches of the
Latah county chapter of the Red
Cross, and an effort will be made to
secure the county's quota as quickly
as possible.
Moscow's three banks, the First
National, the First Trust e Savings
bank, and the Moscow State bank,
will receive contributions, which will
be turned over to McP. Bailey, trea-
surer of the Latah county chapter.
Mr.. Butterfield is desirous that La
tab county people make their contri-
buttons as early as possible, and sug-
gests that the various church and
civic organizations at their first
take the matter up and con-
tribute as literally as possible. The
disaster is probably the greatest in
history, and humanitarian demands
that all possible aid be given.

EDUCATION FOR
STATE PRISONERS

Columbus-(A. P)-Born in the
mind of Chaplain T. o. Reed of the
Ohio penitentiary as he watched men
brood in their cells during idle time,
an idea which those who are foster
ing it declare has been hailed as the
greatest step forward in prison work
in years." shortly will be put into
execution in penitentiaries of the
country.
The project has been named the In
travail Correspondence schools, and
it's object is to provide means where
by convicts in their cells may obtain
an education in whatever they wish.
Chaplain Reed has operated such a
school in the Ohio penitentiary for
Ia months. The students number l.
600 out of population of $500.
Now, with the aid of Napoleon Hill
of New York, publisher of monthly
magazine, Intra-Wall schools are be-
ing established in the federal prison
at Atlanta, Ca, and a budget of ST.
100000 has been set to extend the
work to every penitentiary in the
United States.
According to Mr. HILL the greatest
employers of labor in the United
States have endorsed the plan and
have assured him that every man
turned out by the Intra-Wall school
and vouched for by its officers will
be given a position in the work for
which he has fitted himself as soon
as prison gates close behind him.
They also have assured him, de-
clared Mr.. Hill, that nothing will be
made known of the graduates past
life and that he will take his place
on equal terms with all other en-
ployes.
What we want to do said Mr.
HILL is to meet mentally these men
who are shut off from the outside
world. We're going to prove to them
that they have something to look for
ward to, then put in their hands the
tools with which they can carve out
their future"
Wardens and chaplains of peniten-
tiaries in every section of the country
have agreed to support the schools,
and governors of As states have en-
dorsed them. Mr.. Hill agreed to do
nate $1,000 to each school as it is
founded. National headquarters of
the system will be established here,
with Chaplain Reed as director
AS soon as the Atlanta school is
functioning third will be established
in the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
prison, and after that two states will
be taken at a time
An administration building to cost
100000 is planned for Columbus.
The method is the same as that of
recognized correspondence schools.
At the Ohio penitentiary, the lessons
have been turned out on hand press
by the prisoners. The idea has taken
such hold there, according to Chap
lain Reed, that it is not unusual to
hear men calling to each other from
their cells, "I got 95 in arithmetic
today; boy, I beat you"
