FAITH in AMERICA
VETERAN STATESMAN GIVEN
WELCOME HOME AT DANVILLE,
AFTER so YEARS. SERVICE

Danville, Ill.-(A. P.)-" Uncle Joe"
Cannon, listed in congressional direc-
tories of the past so years as
" Joseph Guerny Cannon" Monday,
formally began his real retirement
from public life, voluntary retire
ment taken after % terms in con-
greSS.
He went back to his residence after
an all-day public observance of his
S7th birthday anniversary, at which
prominent men of the state and ma
tion gathered to pay him honor. 1t
was grave and silent Uncle Joe !"
who watched what he termed "my
political funeral"
Only for a few minutes at the con-
clusion of the ceremonies at Lincoln
park did he venture to speak. Then
he said, in voice so low that it
reached only his near auditors: "I
thank you from the bottom of my
heart. 1 can hardly hold back the
tears today, but I'm less than human
unless I'm grateful"
At 1:40 p. M, Uncle Joe" took
his place in the reviewing stand in
front of his home, seated between
Secretary of Labor Davis and Sena-
tor Walton of Indiana. Others in the
front row were Governor Len Small
and w. P. Halliday, successor to
Mr.. Cannon in congress.
Heading the long parade were
school children from the city schools,
bearing flags and streamers with such
captions as We admire you, Uncle
Joe."
Most of the Elks and Rotarians in
the column of marchers smoked long
eta orJy of RI thQ
man who made them famous. Mr..
Cannon was deeply touched by the
Salvation Army contingent and Now
ly wiped away tears that came as a.
half dozen of the workers trudged
past
From early morning until after
noon, when the celebration officially
began, the man who made DanyilIe
and the black cigar famous, was the
recipient of greetings and congratu-
lations. Hundreds of messages came
by wire from throughout the nation,
nearly all the governors offering their
best wishes.
Uncle Joe'' issued the following
greeting and message:
Z" Friends, this demonstration of
your affection is in itself compensa-
tion for my half century of public
service. The extent of my gratitude
cannot be weighed or measured. To
all, my heart goes out in thankful
ness.
"To you, too, all the people Of
America. from my observance of half
q century. I bring this message:
Have faith. Often you will feel that
you detect a great uneasiness, an un-
rest, threatened undercurrent in
this government This is neither new
nor unusual. T have learned that
America will rise to meet her prob
lens. I have learned that good will
triumph over evil.
Have faith in the government of
your fathers.
Show your faith by works to sup
port that government.
Have faith that right will prevail"

HOGS PLENTIFUL ON
LATAH COUNTY FARMS

While there are not sufficient hogs
grown in the northwest to supply the
northwest market, Latah county is
producing more than enough for its
wants and is supplying the Hagan
and Gushing packing plant at this
place to a large extent, according to
c. A. Hagan, of the Hagan and
Gushing company. The company is
now paying eight cents per pound for
good hogs, which is considered a fair
price for this season of the year.
Tuesday morning B. J. Jones, ex-
tensive farmer in the northern part
Of the county, brought a large truck
load of first-class porkers to the local
plant, and a carload was received
from the Farmers Union company at
Genesee. The number of hogs avail
able indicates that the farmers in the
Moscow territory have been getting
back rapidly to the hog and alfalfa
idea the past year.

HIGHWAY DIST. SUIT TO
BE MADE TEST CASE

The case of Susan B. Oyersm1th OF
this city VS.. the commissioners OF
Highway District No 2 and the In
vestors Syndicate of Minneapolis, is
to be carried through the state SUI
preme court as a test case, according
to a statement made to The Star
Mirror, Tuesday by G. P. Mix and j.
H. Hazeltine, commissioners. The
commissioners are desirous that the
taxpayers in the district understand
more fully the status of the case,
and Mr.. Mix made the following
statement:
This case is to be carried through
the supreme court at the expense of
the Investors Syndicate of Minneapo-
lis, and is not costing the road dis
trict a dollar. Road districts in
number of other counties are desirous
of investing their money in a similar
way, in order to get the increased
interest rate, and this is to be made
test case For that reason our
attorney did not further plead the
case in the district court after the
decision on the demurrer had been
rendered.
There is no opportunity for the
district to lose any money, as it is
stipulated that the money already
paid over to the syndicate is to be
repaid to the district, with interest
at seven per cent for the time it is
held, providing the decision of the
supreme court should prohibit our
making the investment.
Before entering into a contract
with the syndicate we took the matter
up with many of the taxpayers and
had their sanction to invest the road
funds in this manner, in order to Sc
cure the higher rate of interest,"

TELLS why HATCH
LIKELY TO FAIL
MANY UNDERLYING CAUSES SAYS
UNIVERSITY POULTRY EXPERT
IN INTERESTING ARTICLE

Poor matches have usually a COM
bination Of factors underlying the
cause rather than a single one, says
Prof. r. T. Parkhurst, head of the
university department of poultry hus-
bandry. 1t is often impossible to To-
cate just which of the many import
trouble. Sometimes there is no salts
factory explanation of poor hatches
The stock may be too old or i'm
mature, weakened by disease, low in
vitality due to improper breeding,
excessive laying, poor housing condi-
tions, or lack Of exercise. There may
be too many females mated to one
male. The eggs may have been
chilled before being gathered, kept
over 10 or IA days before being in
cubated, kept in place either too
warm or too cold Ca temperature of
SIS to 60 degrees is best); or the tex
ture of the shells may have been poor.
Ventilation May Be Cause
The incubator cellar may have been
either too hot, too cold, too dry or
too poorly ventilated. The variation
in temperature may have been too
great The incubator may not have
been in level position, causing the
distribution of the heat to be uneven,
CIR there may have been too much VEN
tilation, drying out the eggs too fast.
There may have been too much varia-
ton in temperature. The tempera-
ture during the entire hatch may have
been either too high or too low. due
to defective or untested thermo-
meter. The incubator may be defec-
tive in it's ventilation and distribu-
tion.
CarelesSness, Factor
The operator may have been care
less or may have faj.>d to follow the
directions closely. Rough handling
especially from the fourth to the
twelfth days and turning the eggs
with dirty or oily hands are both
conducive to poor hatches Opening
the machine while the chicks are
Matching often dries out the eggs and
causes many deaths in the she'll.
When the death of the germs is
well distributed through the entire
Matching period it is quite conclusive
evidence that the trouble lies in the
breeding stock, but if a large number
appear to have died at about the same
time, poor incubation, accident. or
poor incubator management is likely
to be the cause. When the opera
tor is in doubt as to the cause of
his trouble he can check up his work
nicely by running parallel hatch
with hens

THOMPSON CORROBORATES FUR TRADERS STORY
 FROM SIBERIA

With the arrival in Nome of the Schooner Trader owned and operat ed by Billy Thompson. came the news .corroborating the story of other traders that have been in Si- beria for the last few months and found that they could dS no trading until first obtaining A license from Petropavlovsk which is the head quarters of the Soviet government of Northeastern Siberia.
 Capt. Billy Thompson states that "first license must be obtained from the seat of government and then" he states that he does not know for certainty that any one would be allowed to trade with one of these licenses, as no one has been able to get to Petropavlovsk and get a license so far. Fox skins cannot be brought out of the country until the government has first adjusted the laws allowing the taking out Of fox skins. The Trader has aboard a cargo of hair seal skins and ivory. which was all that Capt. Thompson was allowed to bring with him. and he had to leave ten skins out Of every hundred at his store in Emma Bay before his departure.
 Cant. Thompson states that Burke the assistant Governor of the Soviet government in Siberia has been sent to Anadyr by Governor Karief to take charge of government affairs at that place. Burke is supposed to be an American, born in town in Kansas and migrated to Siberia some years back and according to Capt. Thompson is a very intelligent man and has very good standing with the present government in Si- beria.
 Capt. Thompson states that the present government officials at An- adyr are an illiterate lot Of men who pass a law and never stop to consider the results of having bad law passed.
 Capt. Thompson stated that ne wished to dispose of his cargo Of skins and ivory in Nome but seemed unable to do so on account of no market here for them. The Trader will remain in Nome for a period or three or four days and will then leave for points north.

LOCAL NEWS
NOME MAY GET AIR
 NAH. SERVICE

E. J. Matthews who arrived in Nome on the Latouche gives out some very interesting facts about the possibility of Nome getting air mail service in the near future.
 MT. Matthews who is President of the Keewalik Mining Co. on Candle Creek states that he submitted a bid to the post office department while in the States for an air mail route from Nome to Kotzebue. the route to be followed was up the Nome River and across the divide to Salmon Lake, down the Pilgrim River. up the Noxapaga across over the divide to Imruk Lake, down In machuk to Deering thence to Can de and Kotzebue This is the route that was submitted by Matthews to the postoffice department and was given much consideration by the Department.
 Matthews feels that if there had DepU nOHes app S' congress for the financing of this project his bid would have been ac- cepted and the air mail service been started for Nome this summer. But owing to the fact that congress had not appropriated sufficient funds Tor the post office department to add this item to their expense it has been laid aside until congress can appropriate the necessary money. Matthews states that he is sure that air mail service for Nome will be assured in the next year or two.
 MT. Matthews has contract with the government to carry mail by aeroplane from Seattle to Vancouver for oriental steamers only. and will no doubt be the man that will get the contract for the air mail ser vice in Nome when it is given out.

Everyone knows that the ptarmigan makes delightful dish when prepared for the dining table and they should be protected from the hungry mouths of these roaming canine as well as from the hands of the indiscreet hunters.
 Buckmaster also states that while pursuing the duties of his assess ment work he came across many location notices posted in April for the first of July which is contrary to the law The end of the fiscal year has been changed from the first of January to the first of July. this fact has been published through the columns of the Nugget at various times in the past several months and any one not being familiar with this law would be not amiss in ac- quainting themselves with facts con cerning this question.
