Hot Lunches for
School Children

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO. Moscow.
Nutrition groups in various parts of
Idaho are planning to serve at least
one hot dish for school lunches, ac-
cording to Miss Marian Hepworth,
state home demonstration leader:
The PIT. A. nutrition class at Post
Falls has taken the lead and has
made definite arrangements proyid-
ing for employment of one of their
own members. Mrs. S. E. Bennett
will prepare one hot dish for school
meal each day.
1t is time, Miss Hepworth believes,
for many groups and individuals to
begin thinking about the plan as a
large factor in aiding school children
to meet requirements made in their
daily curriculum. '"The school lunch
DISH" she says, "does not need to be
a burden to anyone but may be pre-
pared as suggested by the Post Falls
PIT. A., or where there is no one in
immediate charge and the school
equipment does not make provision
for it., the hot dish may be planned
at home; by the women, alternating
from day to day, and re-heated at
school.
"The following dishes are suggest
ed: cream soups, scalloped vege.

Recently IL cars of beet seed,
grown in the skagit Valley, were

is, according to the Argus, the larg-
est single shipment of beet seed ever

Idaho Has Promising
New Copper District

WASHINGTON.-A promising cop,
per district in Lemhi County, Idaho,
in the vicinity of Salmon, is described
in a report by Clyde P. Ross, just
issued by the Geological Survey as
Bulletin TIA.
Idaho is well known to mining men
for it's silver-lead mines, and especially
in early days, for it's gold placers,
but it's copper deposits are less fam
Gus, although copper has been pro
duced in a number of places in the
state. Some copper ore has been
shipped from the Salmon district, but
most of the properties are now in the
development stage or are mere pros
poets. When general conditions in
the industry become more favorable
to new development and the deposits
are more adequately opened up, the
district may yield considerable ton
mage of copper ore. Mr. Ross dis
cusses the major features of the geol-
ogy Of the deposits and offers some
suggestions to prospectors.

Alfalfa Pastllred in
Western Washington

The value of alfalfa as forage crop
for dairy COWS in Western Washing
ton was again demonstrated during
the month of October. This demon
stration by one of the herds in the
King County Cow Testing Association
was with alfalfa as late pasture
crop. The herd is owned by Mr. Sim,
who lives in the Snoqualmie Valley.
Mr.. Sim cut two good cuttings of
hay and pastured the third The pas
ture was in excellent condition dur,
was little or no pasture elsewhere.
The herd averaged approximately five
pounds of fat higher for the October
test month than for the preceding
month; the latter test occurring be-
fore the COWS were turned into the
alfalfa field. In addition to this in
crease in fat production, the feed
cost per pound fat was reduced about
33 per cent.
There is absolutely no question but
the alfalfa pasture enabled Mr.. Sim
to produce milk during October at
feed cost of 81 cents per hundred
pounds. This feed cost is, of course.
much lower than the average for the
whole association.

Passengers coming on the Admiral

below the bluff at the edge of the
forest. Looking down he saw two
waving figures. He came lower and
recognized them. But there was no
place to land on this side of the
stream. He Unanswered about, look
ing for landing and finally located
a flat spot on the other bank. In a
few minutes he swooped down,
brought the plane to a stop there,
and climbed out.
He was half mile or so below
the spot where he had seen Mary
and Terence. He waited impatiently,
and soon saw them coming down the
other bank They waved, plunged
into the stream, and wading and
swimming, finally joined him.

joy to find them alive after their
ordeal. "They have sent for your
father, thinking you are dead. He
will be worrying himself to death"
They climbed into the plane and
started aloft.
Just as the sheriff's posse, with its
prisoner, was passing the gates of
the Bar M Ranch, there was buz.
zing sound in the sky. Miguel, ex-
cited, pointed upward and cried:
"senor Marshall, look-the plane
Maybe she is in it-maybe Miss Mary
is saved"
New hope started in old Marshalps
breast. He begged the sheriff for
permission to stop a few moments.
1t was granted. The procession
halted, and waited while the plane
swooped toward the ground. Miguel
rushed into the ranch to meet it. At
the same moment Taggart came out
of the ranch house.
Marshall gazed nervously as the
machine descended, trying to make
out who was in it. At last it touched
the ground, TAXED to stop.
"Thank God" cried Marshall, as he
saw the tire figures climb out If

CHAPTER IA
The Captive

1t was broken man, this John
Marshall, who rode alongside Miguel
on the way to the Bar M. Ranch.
| 1t was not the real, strong, fighting
John Marshall. The news that Mary
his little Mary-was probably dead
had completely unstrung him, and
taken all the fight and hope and heart
out of him. n,
vainly MIGUEL tried to console
"There is still a chance that she
lives, Senior Marshall" he kept say
ing. Bud he, look for them, he
find them, he bring. them back
safe"
But Marshall was inconsolable and
hopeless.
They had almost" completed the
| sad journey to the Bar M. when
coming around bend in the road,
they were confronted by the wait
ing sheriff and a posse of men, all
pointing guns.
Halt" commanded the sheriff.
"Senor, the sheriff." cried Miguel
in terror.
Marshall made no move. He re-
piled simply:
miguel, it doesn't matter now.
Nothing matters any more. Let them
put me in Jail. My Mary's gone"
I'm the name of the State of Ari-
IONA, l arrest you, John Marshall,
for the murder of Black Benway,"
said the sheriff.
II surrender, sir" Marshall replied.
Miguel was sobbing. They placed
guard at each side of Marshall, and
behind, and the procession started on
its way.
After what seemed like an eter-
nifty of struggle through the forest
of flames and smoke, Terence. at
last came to the rim of the wood
land, on steep bluff overhanging
creek. Mary was still unconscious
in his arms. The flames were creep
Z ing up to this last line of trees. Des-
cent down the bluff was the only
hope of escape.
But the face of the bluff was al
most vertical. Clfnging to shrubs,
roots, and breaking footholds into
the dirt, he might have scrambled
down alone. But that was impos-
sible with Mary. Then plan flashed
into his mind.
He laid the girl on the ground, and
unfastened his lariat. Making a loop
around her body, and another around
his own, and passing the rope around
a tree trunk to use it as pulley, he
again lifted her into his arms. Then,
clinging fast to the rope, he cautiously
swung over the side Of the cliff Get
ting footholds where he could, and
gradually playing out the rope. be-
tween his hands, he lowered their two
bodies slowly toward the bank of the
creek AS he let the loose end of
the, rope go up, the one tied to their
bodies let them down, = ta -.
\ They at last reached the bank of
the creek! He carried Mary to the
water, and bathed her face, watching
anxiously The sight he waited for
finally appeared-:she- opened her
eyes, and smiled. -
Meanwhile Bud in the plane cir
cled as low as possible above the
smoking forest, looking down intently
through field glasses f6fr any sign of
the lost ones. It seemed hopeless
and futile task. He could see moth
ing, and IL he had seen them he
could figure no way in which ne
could reach them.

BOXING SHOW
For Riddles Camp Benefit
To Be Hummer, Scheaf
Assures

Chairman Jack Scheaf, of the COM
mittee arranging for the big annual
benefit boxing show for the kiddies'
camp on waterworks hill, announces
that the card this year is to be be-
yond par. When it comes to fixing
such things, Jack is some fixer. When
ne says it is to be real show, out
doing the attempts of last year and
year before, that means that the low
ers of the fstic art are in for real
treat.
The show is to be staged on We'd
nesday evening, February IL, at the
Regent theatre. Every dollar of profit
goes to the kiddies' camp fund. AL
most every expense connected with
the show is being donated Even the
boxers, of high class, are anxious to
do their 'bit" for the cause and offer
their services at a very nominal cost.
This is the third show of the kind
staged and is the result of efforts
of organized labor to establish a fresh
air camp for tubercular infected chill
dren.
Jack Scheaf has been a leading fig
ure in the movement There is
debt of $500 remaining on the camp
at present, which it is hoped to wipe
out with the proceeds of the coming
show. This, it is believed, will be
easily done with nice remainder in
