Local Lad Charged With
Contributing to Delin-
quency of Minor Girls
SIX STAND FOR
CONVICTION
One Party Forfeits $500 Bond =
Case May Come Up for
Re-Hearing

Contributing to the delinquency o
minor girls, is the charge that wal
placed against a local lad of nine
teen years last week and the tria
came up for hearing in Judge Man
ions Court on Tuesday morning
The greater part of the day was Civ
en- to the taking of the testimony
The defendant, represented by Judge
j. G. Watts requested jury trial
The following gentleman composed
the jury; John ,. Winter, ] A.
Ladd, r. B. Rainey, Fred A. Burnett,
John Denton, Fred Downes, Ernest
H. Evans, T. w. Moore and e. ~
Crawford.
According to the evidence adduced
by Prosecuting Attorney r. w. Beck
with it seems that the local lad and
a Glenns Ferry man of about forty
years invited a Glenns Ferry girl of
16 and Bruneau girl, of Is, to take
an auto ride with them. The party
left Glenns Ferry early on the even
ing of August IL. They drove to
Hammett, where they stopped for a
short time and had some ice cream
and enjoyed game of pool. They
then drove on to Pine arriving there
About two o'clock, after stopping for
short time they drove on to de-
serted cabin, where they stopped for
short time to get warm. They
then went on as far as Rocky Bar
and took the Hill City road, return
ing to Glenns Ferry late the follow
ing morning, According to the girls,
throughout the trip they had repeat
edly requested that the men return
them to their homes but were met
with a refusal or a pretext of some
sort at each request.
The defense held that under the
statute no crime had been committed,
The lad was not placed on the wit
ness stand.
The jury retired late in the after
noon and after celebrating for some
time failed to agree. 1t is rumored
that they stood six for conviction
and three for aequittal. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Beckwith has not as
yet decided as to the disposition of
the case, although a rehearing is
predicted,
The eder man failed to appear in
court at the specified time and his
cash bond of $500 was declared for
feited by Judge Manion.

Few Lambs Left
PRICES ON CHICAGO
MARKETS ARE GOOD
Mountain Home and Hill City Sheep
men Ship approximately For
ty-five Cars to Markets

Considerable activity is being
manifested locally in the shipment
Of sheep to the eastern markets.
Prices generally are holding up as
we'll as could be expected and In most
Instances the sheepmen are realiz-
ing more this year than last.
Among the local sheepmen, who
made shipments during the past week
we're:
Pete Gandago, of Mountain Home,
Who shipped seventeen cars las sun
lay from Hill City.
Thompson Bros, Of Hill City and
fountain Home shipped seven cars
IN Saturday.
Bennett Bros, of Mounain Home
hipped fifteen cars asst week.
Spencer Bros. shipped two cars
lst Saturday
Tops are now comanding a price
IF IA cents on the Chicago markets,
which will insure the sheepman a
ood liberal profit on his product.
With last weeks shipment prac-
'ically all of the sheepmen have
leaned out and it is quite likely that
lnly few more small shipments will
)e made from Gilmore County.

ELMORF HAY
SURPLUS UNSOLD
10000 Tons of Hay Around
The Grand View Section
Remains Unsold
$12 per Ton Asked

Very little Of the 10000 tons ol
surplus hay of the Grand View sec
tion has as yet been sold. There
seems to be some little contention be
tween sheep and cattlemen relative
to the price, which is now ranging
around s12 per ton in the section ad-
jacent to Rupert.
Some of the sheep owners of this
locality are taking under considera-
tion the proposition of shipping their
focks to the east, where they will
feed them before marketing. This
may be attributed TO the fact that
hay will be SO. high throughout Ida
no this fall, according to a promin-
ent local owner
A scarcity of hay throughout all
of the coast states this year owing to
the drought will undoubtedly assure
the farmer of an exceptionally good
price.

Violators of State Game
Law Are Fined by
Judge Manion
INCREASE OF GAME
BIRDS NOT NORMAL
Sage Hen and Grouse Seem To Have
= Abandoned Nests-Decrease
In Young Noticeable

Game Warden X. o. Upton re-
ports the arrest of several game law
violators during the past week.
Among those who contributed to the
State Game Golfers this week for
their indiscretions were:
Joe Idoeta, who was arrested on
the South Fork of the Boise on Aug
ust 1s for the possession of a rife.
Mr.. Idoeta was fined $25 by Judge
Manion.
Elmer Cook, of Hagerman, was
not expecting the game warden
while he was shooting sage hen at
the Camas Reservoir. He was ar
rested for a violation of the game
law and after pleading guilty was
assessed a fine of $25 and costs in
Judge Manion's court.
Contrary to a common impression
the supply of grouse is not as plen-
tiful as should be expected. Mr..
Upton reports the finding of many
abandoned nests, containing five or
six unmatched eggs. He attributes
the cause, possibly to the prevailing
dry season or the possibility of the
eggs becoming chilled.
Owing to the fact that so many
sage hens are noticed around the
water holes has also led to the belief
that they are quite plentiful, but the
Game Warden insists that the same
condition exists with regard to the
sage hen as the grouse. He states
that he has seen numerous bands of
sage hens in his travels but has
noted that the young birds are very
much in the minority.
Sportsmen generally are cooper
ating with the game department in
the enforcement of the law and ow-
ing to the prevailing conditions are
endeayoring to encourage a strict
compliance with local game regula-
tions pertaining to game birds.

Census of Cars on Highway
Through Mountain Home
Shows Big Average
APPROXIMATELY $500
CARS PASS WEEKLY
Local Camp Ground With Adequate
Facilities Attract Tourists to
Stop Over Night

The fact that the Old oregon Trail
is now the popular route for tourists
was demonstrated by the census;
which was recently completed by the
Oregon Short Line. The census COW
cred a considerable period and when
totaled showed an average of one car
every two minutes or thirty per hour
for the week days and forty cars per
hour on Sundays, reports the Gas
House.
The enormity of this traffic can
not be realized until definite figures
are presented. Taking six week
days of twelve hours and one Sunday
of twelve hours, the weekly total
would reach 3,120 automobiles pass
ing through on the Old Oregon Trail.
The Importance of tourist travel
is realized by many of the towns
along the route and excellent camp
ing facilities in the way of camp
grounds, etc., are provided to attract
them. Mountain Home was one OF
the early birds in this regard and
several years ago established an ex-
cellent camp grounds for the con-
venience of her guests. Her efforts
in this regard have been appreciated
to a large extent by the travelling
public and the attending advertis-
ing and patronage realized from this
item alone has proven beneficial.

Labor Day is not school holiday

During the past school year all
rooms not previously supplied with
electric lights were so equipped.
This was a great improvement dur

teachers. During the present vaca-
ton our school board has had the
woodwork vanished in all of the
rooms and the walls of most of the

sides this there has been some
painting done and some of the fur

improvements will all be highly ap-
preciated, also, and will help to start

Two automobile tires were taken
last Sunday evening from the Ford
coupe belonging to Hal Robertson,

CHAPTER Xxi
The InMritten Letter

NJ le on the ' trsn herself to sleep that night
1t was in vain that she stormed at
herself for being weak, historical fool; the
tears would come, and after that she felt
better. She resolved the next morning never
TO see Anthony Breen again. She faced the
TACT that he held a strong fascination for
her. faced it and decided that she must con-
quer her weakness This trip was fortu-
nate thing, it would help her to regain her
bearings. When she returned she would be
strong again. she would tear this thing out
Of her heart, she would not let it beat her.
And SO with long stretch of country ever
widening between them, she made her plans
and, of course, she did not write.
Not that she wasn't tempted. The Comet
Club seemed indelibly brand on her mind
He had said she would remember that and
she did, but it was only because the Comet
Club conjured up his face to her and seemed
TO bring him nearer.
But she did not write, and slowly the time
passed. One week, two weeks, three weeks
slipped away. In New York, Anthony dropped
III at the comet Club every day. He believed
that she would write. There. was no reason
why she shouldn't drop him a line. even
though she didn't care about him one way or
another. And besides, women always did as
he asked, and all women wee the same. he
was convinced of that.
There came a time when he realized tha :
the most important thing in his dav was this
casual dropping in at the Comet Club for his
mall. This was significant, but he couldn't
tell whether it was because he really wanted
TO hear from her was simply piqued be-
cause she didn't write. Since that night
when he had watched the long black line of
cars slide out OF the Pennsylvania station a
feeling Of restlessness had settled upon him
He could not seem to shake it, and as the
days slipped away and she did not write,
there was added to this restlessness a sense
Of irritation that made him nervous and i'm
patient
1t was as If he were waiting for something
to happen, something that never did happen.
To be sure he was longer bored, but this
was far worse than passing his days in Sc
rene boredom, for he was continually dissat-
isfed.
He tried to divert himself by visualizing
Miriam on her trip, and suddenly he remem-
bered his careless words the night he had
said goodby to her Something about going
along and acting her guide and she had
flushed and for a moment had seemed con-
fused
A wild idea seized him to take trip to
the coast. to try to locate her, and then to
travel back across the continent with her.
This idea was utterly mad: but. TO his amaze
ment. his pulses stirred at the thought and
the blood drummed heavily in his temples.
It was absurd TO feel emotion at such
thought, to be carried away by such an idea

FOOD FADS
BY H. Addington Bruce

\ ANSWERING a query as to the value oil
~ diet consisting entirely of uncooketI
foods, l would simply say that such !
diet is unscientific If only because Of the fac
that many raw foods-particularly certain
vegetables not acted upon by the dill
gestive juices.
Some foods, indeed, such as most of til {
starchy foods, need to be cooked in order i'd
be made fit to eat. Besides which, raw food !
are more likely than cooked foods to act al
conveyors of typhoid and other germ dis !
eases.
On the other hand, proper care bein :
taken in the way of thorough washing before1
serving, the inclusion of some raw foods i1j
the diet is always advisable. For, as is now
pretty generally known fresh fruits and green
vegetables are yitamin-containers, and in adj
dition promote the action of the eliminativa
organs.
To argue from this, however, that the
health will best be conserved by restricting 4
the diet wholly to raw foods is to go to an,
unreasonable extreme and is without scien1
tific sanction. Is
So, too, restriction Of the diet to milk and
milk products, has been urged by someI
than helpful M is admittedly almost Al
perfect food, in the sense that it contains
most of the elements essential to nutritionl
But, excepting in early infancy the human
organism requires a dietetic variety denied
It by the milk product fad.
The same argument applies against rel
stricting the diet to nuts any other one
kind of food.
Nuts, by the way, are no doubt most nu-
tritive, and have uncommon food value, es7
pecially as providers of protein and fat. I'M
fact, they are so rich in fat and protein that
the common practice of eating them at meals
as an addition to other fat-containing and
protein containing foods is a more or less
serious mistake. Nuts should be eaten, rath-
er, as substitutes for meats and other such
foods.
Also nuts have the auxiliary value oil
compelling mastication and giving the teeth
that healthy exercise withheld when a soft
food diet is the rule Hence frequent eatin q
of nuts is to be recommended for more rea-
sons than one-but not to the exclusion Of
other foodstuffs.
There are times, of course, times of illness
or Of weakened digestive power, when rel
striction of the diet to certain kinds Of fSl6Sa
is advisable, and even necessary. MECCA
science has long recognized this and "dietN
ing" has soundly established place in med7
ical practice.
But such restriction is only intended to
serve special purpose, and once that has
been served there should be a return to the
use of mixed diet. This is the dictate, not
only of medicine but of common sense as
borne out by centuries of human experience.
