BOY DIES FROM
BY MISTAKE
TWENTY- YEAR-OLD KENNETH
SOLLENBERGER PASSED AWAY
AT POCATELLO HOSPITAL
FUNERAL SERVICES WILL BE
HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON
FROM BAPTIST CHURCH.
Kenneth Sollenberger, the 20-year
old eon of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Sollen
berger, living about-two and a half
miles northeast of Blackfoot, died in
the Pocatello hospital about 6 o'clock
Thursday morning, from the effects
of taking a quantity of bichloride of
mercury, or corrosive sublimate. The
poison was taken in mistake for Ep
som salts which was on the shelf with
the poison, on Sunday night.
The young man was taken to the
hospital as soon as the mistake was
discovered. Little hope was enter
tained of his recovery, as the poison
was in the system too long before
any remedy was available. As a last
resort Dr. Irvine of Pocatello and Dr.
Beck performed an operation which
consisted of opening the stomach cav
ity and cutting the kidneys to accel
erate the elimination of the poison
from those organs. But the opera
tion was useless to prevent the fatal
effects of the powerful poison, which
is used to treat potatoes to check or
prevent disease.
The body was brought back to
Blackfoot and funeral services will
be held at the Baptist church at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon, with Dr
Butler officiating. Kenneth had a
wide circle of friends and was well
to
liked by all who knew him. The
heartfelt sympathy of the communityi
goes out to the parents In the loss of I
a loving and dutiful son, taken In the ,
flower of bis young manhood. i

WILLS. CANTS UNO WONTS
ARE YOU?
Salesmanship campaign Is place
only for wills. No chance for cant's.
No room for wont's at all—Only those
who can and will work wanted. ' f
There are three kinds of people ifl
this world: The wills, the wont's anjl
the cant's. The first can and do
accomplish most anything that they
tackle. The second oppose everything
and the third fall in everything. The
News' big Salesmanship campaign
classifies the wills, the wont's and
the cant's. Those who are In the
campaign and are devoting their time
to doing the very best possible belong
to the wills. There are none of the
second dass as they have been elimin
ated. The third class is also disap
pearing. so that ere long the entire
Hag will he represented by the wUle.
There le only two more days of
this week and then one more weekof
the second period. A week from this
Saturday the second period of
oampaign will come to a close
again the credits will drop and
loss will be greater than before.
It !
is up to the workers to do their very I
best right now so as to get in every
single subscription before the close
of this second period in order to
make the best* showing possible for
after next week the ballot box will
be placed in the bank and the cam
paign will come to a close with every
one in the dark as far as the number
of credits any one has.
Race Unusually Close.
It is a strange coincidence—some
thing very unusual in affairs of this

members benefited so equally during
the first period wnich just closed,
that without hairline figuring It is
almost impossible to determne the
real leaders today. It seems that
this campaign is going to be an ex
ceptionally close one throughout, and
any one of a number of the club mem
bers may jump up to the top and
walk off with the Buick car at the
last moment. Mrs. Nugent of district
one still leads with a small mangln,
While Mrs. Hagen of district two is
a close second. Mrs. Bithell of dis
trict two is third and Mrs. Disher
is fourth. A club of subscriptions
would place any of the three last
named right at the top. Mrs. Black

Rowland of district ope made a good
gain and is now in third place In dis

Wlfh the club members so close to

bound to be some changes by the time

possible that a new leader may hold
