IDAHO IS ON THE LINE

March 10th marked the hftieth
birthday of the telephone in America.
On that date in 1876 Alexander Bell,
inventor, talked to Thomas A. Wat
son over 80 feet of wire between
rooms in a Boston building. There
are 100000 phones in the nation
today. Last year there were TWEEN
ty-five billion calls.
Idaho is fortunate in having a
network of telephone lines, reaching
every part of the state, wonderful
service, considering the compare
lively sparse population. Way back
in the mountains one may connect
with home or the outside world
through the forestry systems.
Relatively the same is true with
respect to railroad transportation.
Idaho can add it's Drag to that Of
older states This state is not iso-
lated Thanks, Mr.. Bell and othersl

IDAHO FARM CALENDAR
DAIR YING
G.. G. Anderson

One of the most important bene-
fits to be derived from testing is that
the farmer can tell which cows to
select heifers from. Raising calves
costs money and the average farmer
doesn't have any more money to
throw away raising poor calves than
he has to put into buying poor
COWS. The herd sire's value is meas
ured by the way his daughters pro-
duce. An athletic coach picks his
team by testing out the candidates.
The wise dairyman picks his herd
by testing out each individual in it
and he has one on the athletic coach
as she can determine what sort of
candidates he is going to have in
the future.

LINCOLN'S DREAMS
FORETOLD FUTURE

The opening of abraham Lin
coin" at Weaver Theatre on March
II and IS recalls that the martyr
President was believer in dreams
and it is of record that he was the
subject of two dreams equally re-
markable.
After he went to the White House,
Mr. Lincoln dreamed one night that
he was on a big ship sailing away
in strange waters, he knew not
whence nor whittier. The next
morning good news came from the
army. Many times thereafter Presi-
dent Lincoln had the same dream,
and it was always followed by good
news.
Toward the close of the war the

weary President had a terrible
dream that upset both Mrs. Lincoln
and himself for several days. One
night he seemed to be aroused from
his sleep by the voices of many
people in mourning and lamentation.
The voices came from all sides as
choir invisible Of woe, and he went
out to inquire the cause. He des-
cended the stairs to the east room
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1926-03-12

and there, in the middle of it, stood
a black catafalque upon which rest
ed a corpse in grave clothes. The
President asked of an attendant:
"Who is dead in the White House,"
"The President" replied the man.
This is the last recorded dream of
President Lincoln, and there is evil
dence that he accepted it as a pre-
monition of the future.

PLANT DISEASE
c. w. Hungerford

To secure best results from any
wet seed treatment careful attention
should first be given to thorough
cleaning of the seed to remove smut
balls. If the seed is practically free
these balls it can safebly be treated
in sack. If there are noticeable
number of smut balls present, the
seed should be poured loose into the
treating solution and the balls
skinned off.

HORTICULTURE
C. c.. Vincent

AS little pruning as possible dur
ing early years of growth is shown in
recent experiments to be advisable.
The results show not only that larg-
er are developed in given time but
that the trees bear larger crops.
Heading back new growth on young
trees is detrimental in direct ratio to
the severity os the pruning. Elk
periments conducted in several states
show that heavy pruning of young
trees reduces the total amount of
fruit produced.

 Nal s. Daugherty was visibly nervous as he was sworn. Buckner immediately began questioning him about the disappearance of records of the Midland National bank of Washington Courthouse, Ohio, of which he is president.
 The records, the government al leges, were destroyed by Harry NJ. Daugherty to prevent the govern ment from trading to his accounts s150,oOO of the s441,0oO commits sion.
 The s441,00o was paid by Rich ard Merton, German metal mag nate, to John T. King, late repub- lican national committeeman from Connecticut.

Physician Finds Mans
 Appendix on Left Side

An interesting phenomenon from the medical viewpoint was discovered this morning at New Britain General hospi- tai when pr. Matthew II. Griswold of Berlin operated on Lloyd Elderkin of Berlin to remove his appendix. Upon ex- animation it was found that Elderkin's appendix was To- cated on the left side of the abdomen instead of in its usual place on the right side.
 Physicians state that cases of this nature are occasional ly reported but the occurrence is not common, the dislocated appendix being a freak of na- ture. Elderkin is an employe at the Styles & Reynolds brick yard in Berlin.

RELIC OF ST. THERESE
 TO BE APPLIED HERE
Novena at Sacred Heart Church Will Open
 September 30

A relic from the body of St. Therese, most recently canenized saint in the Catholic church, has been received at the Sacred Heart church and will be applied during morning and evening services of a novena to open September 30.
 The relic is a piece of bone from the body of "The Little Flower" as the saint is affectionately called by persons of the Catholic faith. This is the only relic of St. Therese in New Britain and one of the few in America.
 Father Bojnowski pastor Of the Sacred Heart church, will open the novena with a mass at o'clock in the morning of September 30. Masses will be held on each of the nine days at the same hour and benediction will be held In the eve nings at 7:30 o'clock. The relic will be exposed only during the hours of services.
 St. Therese was born in France in 1873, one of a family of nine chill dren. At the age of Is years she entered the Order of Mt. Carmel, be- coming Carmelite nun. Two of her sisters chose the same life, also be- coming Carmelite nuns. Although her life in religion was comparative ly brief, spanning a period of but eight years, it was marked with such piety that she attracted the atten- tion of her superiors. After she died, on Good Friday in 1896, re- ports of miracles through her inter cession and at her grave were heard. Within a few years these reports grew in numbers until they became so numerous that the machinery of canonization was set In motion. She was declared a saint in 1925.
