IDAHo's BIGGEST LITTLE FAIR

Plans for the Fourteenth Annual
Kamiah Fair, to be held on Sept. %.
26-27, are nearing completion. The
management is confident that they ar
ranged a program of high class enter
tainment that will be well worth com
ing long way to see.
The program is arranged with vari-
alton to please every taste. The race
program promises to be even better
than last year when horses well known
over the Nezperce and Camas prairies
and Clearwater sections were entered.
Bill Rookie will be there with his
Salmon River cowboys and bad horses
to furnish part of the rodeo. Previous
experience has taught the entertain
ment committee what part OF this the
people like and only the best in this
line will be used.
A new feature this year will be
daily vaudeville acts before the grand
stand by company of high class en-
tertainers who will not be stingy with
their singing, dancing and bits OF wit
and comedy.
There will be plenty of fun for the
kids. A man has been engaged who
will afford the children as well as the
older folks plenty of cause for laugh
ter.
The sports committee is working up
a lot of novelty and auto races and
various stunts that will make the time
go quickly by
Professor W. G.. Allen will be on the
Job again with his tpep" band, and
when we say pep with Mr.. Allen we
mean it. He doesn It believe in dull
moment at Playground and he is sup

Homemade
Ry HAL COCHRAN

There's a magic little word that
makes a fellow want tor eat. It's a
word that never can be overplayed.
Every time that you may hear it, it
suggests a wholesome treat, and the
little word think of is homemade,
You appreciate the foodstuffs that
are purchased at the store, and they
satisfy the appetite, it's true. But
the grub that makes you happy;
makes you holler for some more, Is
the food that mother cooks herself
for you.
Apple pie that fairly savors Of the
finest kind of taste is the kind
that makes you hungry when you're
not. It's~the brand that mother
bakes you and no portion goes to
waste, for the pie, from start to
finish, hts the spot.
Homemade bread is baked at
morning and it seldom lasts till
night, though a bakers loaf is not
as strongly played. Is it just that
mother makes It in way that seems
just right? What's the reason that
you like it best homemade?
Even parents have the habit and
they get the homemade thrill It's
a trait that in each living soul is
born. Though 1t isn't to their liking
yet they'll eat their fullest fill,
when a youngster in the family
pops some corn.

Science

The annual loss to the United
States from preventabfe diseases is
estimated at $4,000 00
Modern medical science has re-
moved most Of the diseases of a few
years ago that stood in the way
of a long life. Today long life is
probable, with reasonable care. while
twenty years ago 1t was very doubt
full whether a person could acquire
old age. He had to be lucky" to
do it.
During the last 500 years the life
span has more than doubled. In the
last twenty-five years alone 1t has
been increased by more than ten
years. The average length Of life
in the United States is now fifty
eight years. In 1900 it was only
forty-flve years.
Perhaps the biggest factor in this
situation is that babies now get
good start In the world. A few years
ago they were under a great handi-
cap. 1t was then thought useless
to try to avoid certain childrens dis
eases Today sciencesh practically
stamped out these diseases-that is,
science has made it unnecessary for
children to have them. A baby, born
today, gets vastly better start than
ten years ago.

That's what he did when he came

How deep is the water-and is it
salty? are the questions most often
put to Smith by tourists, he claims.
Smith keeps up a running fire

3 DIPPERS

North Star DIS at Tip of
Handle Of Little

By DAVID DIETz
Science Editor Of The Press


Z now, I am sure. you have
IS learned to find the north star
without difficulty. If so. you
will be able to find the Little Dipper
at once. The, Little. Dipper. as we
shall see later. forms the constella-
ton Of the Little Bear.
However, you must pick a night
when the moon is not very bright
to find the Little Dipper. That ID
because some Of the stars in it are
very faint, and when the moon is
bright they are hidden in the glare
of moonlight. You must also pick
a station where ground lights sdch
as arc lamps. for example, do not in
terfere with your vision.
The Little Dipper occupies only
about half as much space in the
sky as does the Great Dipper,
Polaris, the north star, is at the
end Of the handle of the Little Dip
per.
the dipper is a small fourth magni-
tude star. If you look sharply. you
will notice that 1t has a greenish
tinge. ,The Arabians named 1t Yil-
dun.

The four stars in the bowl Of the

tudes.
That is because Kochab is a sec
ond magnitude star, Gamma a third
magnitude one, Zeta a fourth mag
nitude star and Eta fifth.
The two stars, Kochab and Gam
ma, are frequently called the Guard
ians or Wardens of the Pole.
This is because they circle about
the North Star as the dome of the
sky appears to turn, just as though
they were placed there to watch
over the North Star.
Shakespeare makes use of this
fact in "Othello," where he Is de-
scribing a great storm at sea at
night when the waves were I'M
usually nigh. He writes:
THE wind-shak'd surge with high
and monstrous name,
Seems to cast water on the burning
Bear
And quench the guards of tn ever
fixed pole"
In the northern part of the
world where the Little Dipper is to
be seen low in the northern sky, it
indeed might seem, during a great
storm, as though the waves were
dashing over the Little Dipper.

Nature

Lupine, one Of the great flower
and forage plants of western Amer
lea, was supposed by the ancients
to be wolflsh, hence it's its name
from lupus Latin for wolf. When
they decided to lay out famous Gold

they found little more than shifting
sand dunes. Lupine seed was sown
in that sterile ground and the roots
Of the spreading plant knitted the
soil together and converted the
whole into the solid ground that is
SO beautifully covered now
