Mrs. Joshua

By Wallace M, Bayliss The wives of famous men, 'tis sad
 to state, Have often had a hard and cruel
 fate. It always has been so, since time
 began; We'll illustrate by telling of the
 man Who followed Moses as first in com
 mand, None other than old Joshua, whose
 band Walked round and round the walls
 of Jericho And knocked the city down In one
 fell blow. The military feat was quite enough To prove that Josh was strictly up
 to snuff; But one day, in a most important
 fight. He found he needed just bit more
 light. No sooner was 1t thought than 1t
 was done, For he stood up and shouted: Stop,
 oh, sun." B'gosh 1t stopped! It would be
 standing yet Had he not later cried; Go on and
 set" It's lucky he was not killed in that
 fight Or we'd have daylight always, and
 no night. Your sympathy should go to Mrs.
 J., For night and morning, following
 that day She had to hear him tell about his
 feat, Explaining why it never could be And why she should be proud it
 was her man Who first devised a daylight saving
 plan.

EXTRADITION REFUSED
 FOR MRS. ENSMINGER
GOV. smith Refuses To Sign Papers For Woman Accused of Mailing
 Poisoned Candy.

Clean, N. r., Jan. Ex-Governor smith has refused to sign papers for the eXtradition to New York state of Mrs. Hilma Ensminger of Columbia, Miss. for whom warrant had been issued by local authorities on a charge of attempted murder, first degree. She is accused of sending poisoned candy through the mail to George Ensminger.
 The governors action, District Attorney Archibald NJ. Lairlaw de- clared, makes 1t impossible to bring the woman here for trial. The prose- cutor says that all that is left for him to do now is to turn over all evidence in the case to the federal authorities who have already begun investigation.
 The governor explained that he could not act in tho case as Mrs. Ensminger had never been in Clean, but continued to reside in her Mis- sissippi home and was therefore not a fugitive from justice.

RADIO FILM SHOWS
 MYSTERIOUS SIGNS
Dr. Jenkins Discovers CharaG terS and Man-Like Figures

New Haven. Jan. 1i. -- Strange and mysterious signals received by n recently perfected radio-photo- graphy machine were described to members of the electrical engineer ing department at Yale university yesterday by Dr. c. r. Jenkins, pres ident of the Jenkins laboratories of Washington, D. c. Dr. Jenkins Is the inventor of means of trsns- hitting and receiving pictures by radio and it was in connection with the receiving device of the radio picture set that the signals were discovered, he told the students.
 At the suggestion of Professor Cobb of the Amherst astronomical department, Dr. Jenkins said, he set up his receiving set in his labor atory short time ago and left fl in condition to receive pictures for several hours. In Dr. Jenkin's machine, the pictures are produced on roll of films which pass slowly through the set, ready to record continuous pictures of enything that might pass through the air.
 When the roll of films was de- veloped. on it were found first a series of strange characters and then seven distinct likepesses of a man, followed by more characters and more characters and more pic. lures until the end of the strip was reached.
 Dr. Jenkins believes that nc other station In the sountry Wa. sending out pictures at the time and as there is nothing in the labora, tory that would produce any such affect, he Is at loss to explain thG phenomenon.
 According to Dr. Jenkins, Pro, lessor Cobb took the roll of films to the chief code official at sigma corps headquarters in Washington but efforts to decipher the characters on the film were unsuccessful Further experiments performed un, der similar conditions have had nc such results, Dr. Jenkins said.

MERELY POSTPONING 4 SPECIAL TAX

Going through fiscal year with out an extra tax reflects favorably upon the city government but eventually an extra tax levy will have to be made in this city to cover our sins of omission during the year past. The present postponement of ceeded repairs upon city property and delays in the payment of several fixed charges is temporary ex- pedient, as effective in the long run Hs King Canute's effort to brush back the waves with broom.
 The maximum that can be &C., complished will be postponement in the levy of tax that eventually must be laid, and laid to make good for the past twelve months.
 Most of the money to be transfer red from one city department to an- other Is made up of funds appro- priated specifically for the payment of fixed charges and for matters re- garding which the city Is now de- clared overdue on payment. It IS planned to delay these payments until after the first of the new fiscal year, which opens in April. When these payments are appropriated in the new fiscal year, provision will also have to be made for similar payments due within the new fiscal year, resulting in larger appropria- tions for the year than the actual outlay for the year would call fo1 otherwise.
 The crux of the situation is that certain payments are due during this fiscal year and will be laid over un- til the next fiscal year in order to avoid the extra tax Sufficient tax money will have to be secured dur ing the following fiscal year to make up for what isn't paid this fiscal wear. It is like a man postponlne payment of bill due until the toi' lowing year. when he intends to pay it. the deferred payment adding tc his outlay that year.
 A very small part of the $S1OO' deficit that is anticipated will bf made up through the elimination o' the municipal ice fund, which Wa' created for the conduct of a munl cipal ice house no longer in exist ence, and from money drawn iron department balances. Bookkeeping is all right in it's place, but it can
 not take the place of tax money Not only will the rearrangemen of payments be productive of n' actual benefit to the city, but 1t me' add to the expense by interes 2 s4 charges in some instances. One o the repair jobs that will be postpon ed has to do with pointing a cor ner of the police building long Il
 need of this repair work. It is serl |. ous matter when needed repairs iik this are not made If the winte ! should turn more unfavorablo m ronairs. when they are made, Woui'
 he more extensive and expensive a fl is the effect of the weather on tn < exterior of the building that cause the disrcpair.
 As conditions are, the city IS say Ing inc levying of an extra taN-oI : ,be books. Meanwhile money ne vord the taxable returns goes out al ; inc same. Eventually there will hay to be the extra tax levied or cir
 expenses reduced greatly; and Of tn
 latter there is no sign in view oi ih
 necessities created in the gro"ln city.

cHALLIs is sEvENT
DISTRICT CHAMPIONS

Last Saturday night closed the sew
enth district tournament with the
Maroons coming out the winner. Ar
co was the contesting team and stag
ged a hard fight for the first place,
both Friday and Saturday nights.
Areo had previously beaten the Ma
rooms on the Arco court, making two
games necessary to decide the cham
pions, If Challis won the second
game. Both games were fast and SER
we'd much entertainment for the many
fans who witnessed the battles. The
game the first night ended in score
of 10 to s, Bradley, forward and
captain of the Maroons, was high
point man, making a total of II points
while individual honors were divided
among the Arco players.
The game the second night was al
80 fast, and quite exciting during the
last few minutes of play. The score
at thep end of the first half was % to
0 in the Maroons' favor. But the
Arco squad came back with little
fight in the second half and piled the
score up to 10 to 81. Nevertheless
the Arco fellows were good sports
and good losers and showed that
they were atisfied with the results of
the games.
The Maroons will probably start
on their trip to the State meet at
Moscow Monday the 9th. This will
give them plenty of time to get rest
ed up from the trip and get used to
the Idaho court. Funds will be need
ed to finance this trip, so the school
is planning events which will take
place the week end, and will be an
nQunced later.
