here that Valentino had no intention
of remarlying.

CAPITAL DEATH RATE
GAINED DURING 1925

Washington's death Sate increased
and the birth rate went down dur
ing the calendar year, 1925, according
to figures compiled today by Health
officer William c. Fowler.
The ratio of deaths mounted from
1916 per 1000 population in 1924
TO 14.09 in 1925.
The falling off in the birth rate
was from 1922 per 1000 population
to 1S.42 for the period.
DIR. Fowler said the increase in
deaths apparently was due more to
organic heart disease than to any
other cause, since there was reduction
in deaths from pneumonia and tuber-
culosis.
The lowest death rate in recent
years was 1894 in 1921.

POULTRYMEN TO TRY
CAPON BUSINESS

A number of Elmore County poul-
trymen are trying out the Capon
business this year and indications
are that there will be several hun
dreds of Capons to market this win
ter With the high prices prevalent
for this kind of meat there should
be opportunity for good profits in
this business. The heavier breeds
only will make good Capons. Leg
horns, Minorcas, and Anconas being
rather small and active to make the
best Capon.
If enough Capons are developed in
this district the marketing will be
greatly simplified as the buyers can
then be asked to bid on the entire
lot and there will be a large enough
quantity to interest commission
houses and poultry buyers.
Anyone having chickens of the
heavier breeds, that want to try this
project out should communicate with
the County Agent and arrangements
will be made to carry on the work.
Cockerels weighing from to 2
pounds from to 10 weeks old

This alone is reason enough for
cleaning up the disease within the
cattle of Gilmore county.
Cattle tuberculosis, "consump-
ton, caught from cattle, kills at
least 10000 people annually, or one
tenth of the people that die annually
of tuberculosis in the United States.
Eminent authorities state that about
sixteen percent of tuberculosis in
man is caused by the cattle tubercu-
lar germ. In child victims between
five and eleven years, 25 per cent
is from COWS. and below five years
Of age, 81 per cent,
The effect of cattle tuberculosis in
man is the same as human tubercu-
losis. The germ may be inhaled, eat
en- or absorbed through open
scratches. or breaks of the skin They
may be the COWS breath, milk. ex-
erection and discharges, body scales,
and dust from the barn and pasture.
They infect the human body in what
ever form they come and however
they gain entrance.
Tuberculosis in a COW not only
threatens the health of the family
of owner, but also to the families to
whom the milk may be sold A tu-
bercular animal in a herd will rap
idly spread the disease to the whole
herd and thereby destroy the pro
duction of the dairy products derived |
from the herd.
Nineteen counties in Idaho have
been cleaned up of the tubercular
COW by the testing conducted by the
Federal and State veterinarians, and
it is deemed advisable at this time
that Gilmore county should clean out
the tuberculous cattle from the herds
of the county.

THE MINES OF PEACE AND OF
WAR

There were other mines than those
anchored in the sea during the
World War. Many of them were in
Idaho, and they helped materially in
the victory. Lead was the principal
item-lead for death and lead for
development. In 1917 Idaho's lead
mines produced $33,S46,119, prac-
tically all from the Occur d'Alenes.
All the other mineral production OF
the state that year-$11, 100000. So
it has been for many years lead
first, the great Occur d'Alene district
supplying large part of the worlds
requirements.
In 1925 Idaho's metal output to-
tailed $32,971,93O, with lead three
fourths of it. That was the largest
production since 1918 and approx
mated that of 1915, till then the
largest from 1908.
Idaho is so heavily mineralized it
should become among the greatest
producing sections of the world.
Right now, as never before, it needs
aid and encouragement. One way to
assist is to stand squarely behind
those agencies that are fighting fake
promotions and wildcat operations.
Another, and very effective, is to deal
fairly with legitimate operations
and thereby attract additional CAPT
tall
The thought should be borne in
mind. that every ton of ore taken
from a mine reduces its value as to
present development. Further ex-
ploration means heavy investment of
money previously produced or new
capital.

mining is fine friend of the agri-
cultural producer 1t furnishes him

designated, the SIS mile cut-off to
the California capital will engage the
