Schaecher, Prop. ROBBERY IN FERDINAND. Tuesday, near midnight a Maxwell car, belonging to Joe} Kuther was taken from his gar- age and headed south on the) Cottonwood road, and up to go-! ing to press, has not been recov- ered. ; The same evening someone} had taken Arthur Hasse’s car from his garage, but were un- able to get it started off the place. The robbers had taken i: kodak from the Sauters’ car in the same lot and placed it in the Hasse car where it was found in the morning. Two young men aged about 17, according to Mrs. McMurray came to her home Tuesday even- ing, near midnight and asked for a drink of water. She escorted them to the rear porch, where they took on about five glasses of water, each. They said, their car had broken down in Cotton- wood, and they were walking to} Kamiah. This aroused suspicion | as Ferdinand would be far out of their way. A Ford car was found near the Uhlorn place the same morning, abandoned, head- ed for Cottonwood, and it is the} opinion of some that the robbers are part of the jail birds who e caped from the Pendelton jail a, few nights ago, and killed Sher- iff Taylor. Scouting parties are out fol-| lowing the tracts of the car, and Sheriff Eller, who was notified | at Grangevile, is hot on the trail. If this gang is part of the Pend- leton bunch, there is a heavy re-| ward for their capture, and there | are quite a number of prize seek- ers right here in Ferdinand.— Ferdinand Enterprise. COSTS $1000 FOR PRIMARY. The county clerk, Henry Telch- er advises that the cost to the taxpayers for holding the prim- ary elections August 3 will be! about $1000 to settle three con- | tests between two democrats and two republican contestants for | legislative honors, and to decide whether John D. Long, incum- bent, or G. W. Tarbet shall be! nominated by the republicans for | the Second commissioner dist-| rict, which includes all of Camas | prairie precincts. | Expenditure of $1000 by the county covers cost of ballot box- es, election supplies, ballots, transportation of supplies to and from polling places and the like. The law is mandatory and the primary must be held even if! there are no contests. Precinct committeemen and delegates to | the county convention are also} elected at the primary. Judges and clerks of election are requir- ed to serve without pay, and can-| didates must furnish the polling | places. As there are 50 widely | seattered precincts in this great | = the expense is consider- | able. | AUTO INDUSTRY SECOND. | The automobile industry now | ranks second in the United! States, being excelled in output only by steel. On its payrolls are nearly a million employes, whose checks support approxi- mately 5,000,000 people.

Des- | pite these astounding figures the | industry is claimed by experts still to be in its infaney, with rich foreign markets barely touched, and its demand for cars | at home exceed the supply. CHICKEN DEMONSTRATION. | Pren Moore, the chicken spec- ialist of the extension depart- | ment of the University of Idaho, | accompanied by County Agent | Pavey, were in Cottonwood last | Friday to give a demonstration | of culling chickens and also to} give other information regarding | the domestic foul. The demon- | stration work took place at the C. H. Greve residence and was} attended by a small, yet a very | interested crowd. Many were} under the impression that the would _ visit Cottonwood Saturday as was at first advertised but owing to some conditions over which the above mentioned gentlemen had no control, the meeting had to be held a day earlier. | PICNIC AT WINCHESTER. | A big social affair in Masonic circles will be the first annual Masonic pienic to be held at Win- The territory to be represented on this oc- casion includes the Camas and Nez Perce prairies, the towns of Clearwater, Lewiston, Clarkston and Asotin. The participating | Masonic lodges are those at Nez-| perce, Craigmont, Grangeville, | Winchester, Gifford, Lewiston, | Clarkston and Asotin. | One of the features of the day | will be a ball game between teams of the Prairie league. | There is also talk of having a} ball game between a nine from} the Lewiston lodge and the chal- lenging team from Craigmont.

The 20th of January, 1265, was a great day not only for the English- speaking people but the world; it nas the time appointed for the meeting of the first parliament In England. Mathew of Paris in his chronicles first uses the word In reference to a council of the barons In 1246, but it was In the year 1265, during a civil war which very much resembled that of the seventeenth century, being for law against an arbitrary power as ux- pressed by royalty, that the first par- Uaments, properly so-called, were as- sembled. It was at this time that Simon de Montfort held King Heaory in his power, This parliament was summoned In such a manner that there should be two knights for each county, and two citizens for every borough; the first | clear acknowledgment of the commons | element In the state. The meeting was held in that magnificent hall at West- minster and the representatives of the commons sat In the same place with thelr noble associates, probably at the bottom of the hall, little disposed to assert a controlling voice nor joining if But there they were | in any vote, and, notwithstanding the fact that De Montfort was shortly overpowered | and he and nearly all of his associates slaughtered, the commons were never again left out. It was an admitted power entitled to be consulted In all great national movements and to have a directing voice in the matter of taxation, ALL DUE TO MALNUTRITION Various Diseases of Childhood That Can Be Traced to Undernourishment.

These urgent requirements are the necessity for neutralizing acid bodies in the blood; tn other words, to neutralize or compensate an exist- Ing acidosis, that all chronic conditions of malnutri- tion, of whatever kind or from whatso- ever cause arising, finally terminate in an acidosis—all of which means that children who do not get proper nour- | ishment are In a fair way to become deformed.

A man passes for what he is worth, Very idle is all curlosity concerning other people's estimate of us, and idle is all fear of remaining unknown... . “What hath he done?” Is the divine question which searches men and transplerces every false reputation. A fop may sit In any chair in the world nor be distinguished for bis hour from Homer and Washington; but there can hever be any doubt concerning the respective ability of human beings when we seek the truth.
