Don't Let That Cold
Turn Into Flu"
Rub ON Good Old Musterole

That cold may turn into Flu"
Grippe or, even worse. Pneumonia,
unless you take care of it at once.
Rub good old Musterole on the con-
gested parts and see how quickly it
brings relief.
Colds are merely congestion. Mus
terole. made from pure oil of mustard,
camphor, menthol and other simple
ingredients, is counter-irritant which
stimulates circulation and helps break
up the cold.
As effective as the messy old mus
tard plaster, does the work without
blister.
Just rub it on with your finger-tips.
You will feel warm tingle rs 1t en-
tiers the pores, then cooling sensation
that brings welcome relief.
To Mothers: Musterole is also
made in muder form for babies
and small children. Ask for
Children's MusterOle.

POTATO EXCHANGE TO DISSOLVE

On Monday evening there was a
meeting of the Bingham county
branch of the Idaho Potato Exchange
to elect officers and to decide what
to do. There had been division in
the ranks of the membership all the
time it was functioning, some were
loyal and some were not; some were
not willing to entrust duties to per-
sons they did not like personally:
there were weak spots and plumbers
in the plan of operating; some stay
ed with the plan regardless of per-
sOnal sacrifices and would not care
to carry such a burden again, and
for many reasons there was reason
to believe that those constituting the
present membership could not sue
coed in the cooperative venture.
A resolution was submitted, pro-
viding that the organization should
dissolve, and this was adopted and
forwarded to the state organization
with the recommendation of this
county that it be adopted there.
During the meeting there was a
spirited discussion regarding the
past winters operations of the ex-
change, Mr.. Barth of Wapello sug-
costing that the exchange dissolve
and this was vigorously opposed in
addresses and maneuvers by J. H.
Merrill, Byron Hayden and Forest
1rego. T. S. Vanderford reviewed
the operations of the exchange and
pointed out mistakes and showed
how they might be avoided in the flu
ture. A. c. Quigg followed with sim
liar remarks, and James Pendlebury
reviewed some of the difficulties and
obstacles of marketing, and the han
dicap of the disloyalty arising from
the lack of study and understanding
by members.
The new board consists of J. H.
Merrill, F. P. Halverson, A. c. Quigg
and R. F. Wilkie, with Vanderford,
president; Wilkie, vice president; j..
H. Merrill, secretary and Quigg,
state trustees.

BLACKFOOT INVENTOR RETURNS

Peter A. Johnson of Portland,
Oregon, and his wife and daughter
Margaret visited at Blackfoot and
Mooreland the last of the week after
long absence. The father, P. M.
johnson is in business at MOOreland,
and all of them were once residents
of Blackfoot, Mrs. Johnson's maiden
name being Tessa Staples.
Mr.. Johnson Is the inventor of a
steering apparatus for ships, and
has been busy for a number of years
perfecting it. 1t took a long time to
get 1t built so that 1t answered all
requirements, and still more time to
get an opportunity to install 1t on
a ship for a trial run, but when that
was done 1t measured up SO we'll in
performance it Immediately COM
manded respect and attention.
About seventy-five percent of the
marine disasters are chargeable to
defective functioning of the steer
ing apparatus, so that when Mr..
Johnson's invention proved its abili-
ty to bring ships safe to port where
the standard steering apparatus
would land them in the bottom of
the sea, it meant something to sea-
faring people and investors.
During the pear 1923, sixteen YES
, sells were equipped with his inven-
ton, and nine them have been equip
ped this year, with good many
orders booked for installation.
The business is handled by an or
ganization known as the Johnson
Fries Construction company, 405
Spalding building, Portland, and Mr..
Johnson is president of the company
The venture looks as If it were going
to be very profitable, and unless the
unexpected happens, having some
thing discovered to reyolutiOnize
shipping and take away his world
market for steering apparatus, Mr..
Johnson's company has good fight
ing chance to ride the road to wealth.

MALCOM WINS CASE

The supreme court has just handed
down it's decision in the case of the
state against E. T. Malcolm, as asses
sor of Bingham county, and the
surety on his official bond, wherein
it was sought to recover for Bingham
county the amount of personal pro-
perty taxes uncollected by the asses
or for the years 1919, 1920, 1921
and 1922, aggregating about $11, 900.
The high court holds that the law
passed by the legislature several
years ago placing upon the assessor
the duty of collecting personal pro-
perty taxes Is unconstitutional, for
the reason that the constitution in
Idaho, in enumerating the various
county officers, says that the county
treasurer is ex-officio tax collector -
And the supreme court holds that
this means the couny treasurer must
collect all the taxes, including per-
sonal property taxes.
This decision leaves the matter of
collecting personal property taxes in
very unsettled state, for the reason
that there is no statue requiring the
treasurer to collect such taxes, and
the highest court decides that the
6ooOooOl uOCb hOt Ia VIC W w ~ hO
constitution says that the treasurer
is tax collector, but it says no more,
leaving it to the legislature to make
laws to carry that provision into
effect. But the legislature placed
the duty on the shoulders Of the as
SCISSOR.
The full text of the decision has
not been received in Blackfoot as
yet, but notice has been received by
the attorneys that the decision of
Judge Adair is affirmed, which
means that the case is dismissed.
The supreme court has nullified the
act of the legislature which required
the assessor to collect personal pro-
perty taxes.
The result of the whole agitation
is that the people know now that
the machinery for assessing and col
lecting is as bad as it was represent
ed to be, and the responsibility for
such condition rests with the trainers
of the constitution and the legisla-
ture.

FINAL BAND CONCERT

The last of the series of monthly
concerts by the American Legion
band was given in the Tabernacle
last Thursday night and while the
attendance was not as large as might
have been expected, the work of the
sband and orchestra was evidently
5much appreciated. These concerts
were started in January and those
who have attended them regularly
have been impressed by the progress
smade by both band and orchestra.
The program Thursday night was
largely made up of numbers for
which requests had been made and
the march "Nibelungen" by Wagner,
played by the combined band and or
chestra of fifty pieces was especially
we'll rendered.

POSSE CAPTURES
ALLEGED SLAYER
Man Wanted for Killing
Idaho Falls Deputy
Surrenders

Officers in this county were noti-
fed early this morning that William
c. Wilson, wanted by Bonneville
officers for the alleged killing of
deputy sheriff Neal Simpkins at
Idaho Falls last Monday afternoon,
surrendered shortly after daylight
this, Thursday morning at Menan.
Posses from Bonneville and sur
rounding counties have been comb
ing the territory north of Idaho Falls
since the shooting
Simpkins was killed in an attempt
to serve warrant on Wilson at the
home of the latter Monday, charging
Wilson with violation of the prohibit
ton laws. The deputy was shot four
times and died while being rushed
to the hospital. In dying statement
he is said to have charged Wilson
with having fired the shots and said
the slayer was headed north from
the scene of the crime.
Pursuers picked up the train of
the fugitive about ten miles north
of Idaho Falls where Wilson had
been forced to abandon his car on
account of leak in the gas tank
caused by a shot fired by the deputy
sheriff. Evidence was found showing
that Wilson had been assisted in
continuing his flight by a rancher in
the vicinity of Menan and that he
was last seen making for the swamps
in that neighborhood.
The slain deputy sheriff leaves a
wife and eleven children who are said
to be in dire financial distress. A
public funeral was held Thursday
afternoon and was attended by hun
dreds of Bonneville county citizens
where Simpkins had served as a
peace officer for a number of years.

Aged Indian Chieftain
Makes Appeal for Son

BOISE, Idaho,-President Calvin
Coolidge has been appealed to by Q
proud Indian chief of Idaho to show
leniency to his son, who is serving
a term in the federal prison for the
Staying of his Indian wife. CHIEF
Pete Moctelme of the Occur d'Alene
tribe is the father. Bartholomew
Moctelme is the son. Supporting the
appeal of the father for pardon fol
his son is the recommendation OF
United States District Attorney E. G
Davis, together with the uames OF
some sixty-five members of the Occur
d'Alene tribe, who urge that the
great white father" show mercy
to the erring boy.
The appeal, written by the chief
himself, sounds like that of a child,
yet it is forceful, and it is believed
will move the president. In it Chief
Moctelme says:
81 am chief of the Occur d'Alene
Indian tribe. l am friend of the
courts and an upholder of the law.
When my son was being tried at
Occur d'Alene | wanted to see justice
done | was a witness at the trial
and l told the truth. l believe 1t was
my evidence that convicted my son.
My wife, Agnes Moctelme, testified as
| did. Our son told us he had killed
his wife. We told that to the court
and to the jury at the time of the
trial.
when our son, Bartholomew, told
us that he was so drunk that he could
hardly talk and soon afterwards was
dead drunk My son has always
claimed since that he did not commit
the crime. We do not know whether
he did or not. During the trial /
took no stand one way or the other,
but all during the trial l prayed that
justice be done. If my son commit
ted a crime / wanted to see him
punished the same as any other boy
who had done wrong.
when the boy was found guilty,
l said 1T is the will of God The
laws of man have divine founda-
ton. They are founded on the laws
of God. AS chief of my tribe l have
been instrumental in seeing that
others were punished for violating
the law He too, must suffer the
penalty for his own wrongdoing.
After the trial my wife was heart
broken. She said nothing to anyone,
but l could see that she was grieving
over the fate of her son. / felt very
sorry for her. My son has now been
in prison about twelve years. Dur
ing all these years l have said moth
ing. l felt very sorry that my son
was in prison but l did nothing to
try and get him out. Now l speak
for the first time. / am getting old. |
am between rs and II years of
age. My wife is about my age.
1--WE realize that we do not have
many more years to live and we
would like to see our son back again.
believe he has suffered enough.
And there is always doubt in my |
mind if my son committed the crime
for which he was convicted. But If
he did commit the crime it was
because of drink. / now ask that !
my son be pardoned. "-Pocatello
