O'MAHONEY TO Be
CANDIDATE FOR j S.
SENATE, IS REPORT
"Joe's Quick in the Head" Says
John Cook of the Promising
Young Democrat

The report comes from a source re-
garded as authentic that Joseph C.
O'Mahoney will be Senator Warren's
Democratic opponent in the race for
the United States senate. The same
person states that the Democrats of
Wyoming have not been so hopeful
of electing a second United States
senator for many years.
Without doing anything c%onspicu-
Gus, Joseph C. O'Mahoney was, never
the-less, an outstanding figure in the
last campaign by reason or his per-
sonality. Those who took note of his
public utterances and watched his
methods as campaign manager for
Senator Kendrick, were impressed
with the fact that this O'Mahoney
person has not only a keen and bril-
liant mind, but was a shrewd politicion
with n head more than n little above
the average as to levelness.
"He has one of the quickest minds
in the state" said John Cook, who
knows him we'll, IAN instant grasp of
things which is remarkable. He has
an attractive personality and is an
excellent speaker. If Joe gets into
the race he will have it pretty well
figured out ahead just what he al do
or h e won't enter"
Mr.. O'Mahoney who besides being
secretary for Senator Kendrick is n
practicing lawyer in Washington, has
familiarized himself with land cases.
Young and progressive, he is one OF
the most promising Democrats in the
State and is bound to take a high
place sooner or later.

"We received an appropriation of
$4,000 for two years, which is
wholly inadequate to meet the needs
of the department.

the state about 100000, yet it re-
ceives only $4,000 a year which may

COOLIDGE SAYS
NO COAL FAMINE
SAYS NORMAL REQUIREMENTS
FOR FUEL WILL BE MET-TO
FIX RESPONSIBILITY

ington-Failure of the anthra-
cite operators and miners to reach
an agreement at their Atlantic City
conference will not be permitted to
inflict fuel shortage on the con-
sumner, it was declared Tuesday night
at the White House following the re-
port that negotiations had been
broken off at Atlantic City, over the
question of wages.
While no indication of the admin
istration program was given it was
announced that President Coolidge
wished to assure the public that nor
NAL requirements for fuel would be
met.
Chairman Hammond of the coal
commission, who discussed the an
thraclte situation late in the day with
the president, said, however, an at
tempt would be made to fix response
bility for the failure of the late nego-
tiations and it was indicated that the
commissions findings in this particu-
lar might be incorporated in an en-
ergency report " to Mr. Coolidge which
is now in preparation.
Mr.. Hammond declared the com
mission did not consider the situation
yet warranted the submission of this
report. He denied, however, that
either he or his assistants proposed
to take the initiative at this time in
endeavoring to obtain a resumption
of negotiations between the operators
and their employees.

Immediately upon the receipt of in
formation that the Atlantic City con-
ference had broken up over the ques-

on leaving the executive office he
called an immediate meeting of the
coal commission and after it had been
in session less than an hour a recess
was taken to enable Mr.. Hammond
and Commissioner O'Neill to confer
further with President Coolidge.
The only public statement resulting
from this second interview was the
announcement that re-
gardless of the outcome of the an

sites of the public would be met.

EVERLASTING GIRLHO0D
PROMISED BY DOCTOR

London-(A. P.)-The rejuvenation
of women as we'll as men, and with
out the aid of the beauty doctor and
the dressmaker, has been promised by
DR.. Voronoff, the famous monkey
gland expert. DR.. Voronoff explained
during the recent International surgi-
cal congress that he was making ex-
periments at the present time, and
expected to be able to announce the
secret of everlasting girlhood about
November.
The announcement that he expected
to make grandmothers into debutantes
caused a sensation among the dele
gates, and many of them were frank
in saying that they believed it utterly
impossible. In fact some of them said
he ought not to do it, one prominent
social worker of London declaring:
What the doctors should do is to
find some means of preserving the
strength of women of seventy, so that
they could give the benefit of their
ripe experience to those in need of
it.
Women who have grown old ma
prefer nature to take it's own
course. There are women who would
give anything to have their lost
beauty and youth restored, but they
are of the selfish type"

subject further other than to say ne
has progressed to the extent that he

GOLD STAR MOTHERS
TO Hold CONVENTION

Kansas City-(A. P)-Governors of
every state in the union have been
asked by the Kansas City chapter
of the War Mothers to seek in each
state the "gold star" mother who
made the greatest sacrifice in the
World war, with view to sending
her at her states expense to the ma
tional convention of War Mothers in
Kansas City, September 20 to October
5, according to Mrs. Howard Boone,
head of the local chapter.
Twenty-three governors have al
ready replied Mrs. Boone stated.
Most have promised aid, although
some of them declare selection to be
a delicate task"
Mrs. Boone said that the War
Mothers have decided that the extent
of mothers sacrifice, by virtue of
which she should be selected, would
be gauged by the number of sons or
daughters who died in the service of
their country in the World war.
This might not prove a strictly
accurate basis for judgment" Mrs.
Boone declared, but it is the best
we could devise" Mrs. Boone lost
son in the war.
The delegates sent by the states,
Mrs. Boone asserted, will be the
guests here of the Kansas City chap
ter Of war mothers.

Moscow leads the state of Idaho il

state banks, according to E. w. Por-
ter, state commissioner of finance
who was in the city Wednesday. The
First Trust & Savings bank and the
Moscow State bank have on deposit
in savings accounts, $800,000, ac-
cording to the finance commissioner
This amount, of course, would be
greatly augmented by the savings de-
posits Of the First National bank
which does not come under the jur-
isdiction of the state department.
The savings deposits in the state
have increased over a half million
dollars in the past year, according to
statement recently issued by the
commissioner, and he expresses the
belief that Idaho is righting herself
nicely. Loans in state banks showed
a decrease of more than two million
dollars during the year from June
80, 1922, to June 80, 1928, which, with
a corresponding decrease in nation
al banks, means a heavy liquidation
We are apt to overestimate our
troubles, Mr.. Porter states and call
ed attention to the fact that in all of
Idaho's bank failures during the de-
flation period, the loss was only ap-
nine million dollars,
while the little city of Astoria, Ore
gon, suffered a nine million-dollar
loss above the amount of insurance
carried, in her fire of some months
ago, and is pocketing the loss and
going enthusiastically into the work of
the city
The period of depression, which hit
south Idaho especially hard, has
caused the people to cast about for
lew sources of revenue, Mr.. Porter
states, and has resulted in the de-
velopment Of lines which will bring
increased and continuous prosperity. |

ources, yet untouched, are marvel
us, and that the citizens of Idaho,
hould be most optimistic for the
lture. 1t devolves, however, upon
