Getting a Measure.

Farmer Giles had heard rumors of
the short weight scandal, but as for
himself, he was honest in thought and
deed. He was naturally incensed
when an apple buyer from the city
objected to his half bushel measure.
'I've used the red bucket FIVE years"
he said, 'and know it's correct"
"A dozen years use wouldn't affect
its correctness" was the reply Have
you any other reason for thinking it
is correct"
The farmer controlled his anger, and
after a moments thought led his critic
to the corn crib and showed him a
basket woven from hickory splints.
That measure twice full fills this" he
said. And this holds exactly a bush
Ell"
How do you know it does?"
Because Bill Sullivan made it, and
he makes baskets for everybody, and
he said it was bushel."
Still the man was not satisfied.
They went to interview Bill.
why, of course" said the basket
maker. Il weave every one of them
OF an exact size. l make only one
pattern basket to hold a bushel."
But how do you know the pattern
holds bushel?"
How do know? I'm sure of it. |
made it originally to hold two OF this
half bushel basket"
And this half bushel basket"
Bill frowned and pulled his hair in
an effort to remember. Then his face
frightened
Why, yes" he said. I'm sure OF
it | tried it one time. Giles. by that
old red bucket measure of yours!"-

The line has been delayed for sew

Plumbers Object to Statement.

A local paper stated that the plumb
ers of Caldwell were in combine and
had refused to do the plumbing for
Mr.. Mansell, presumably because he
had purchased his fixtures from an
eastern mail order house. The local
plumbers declare that the paper is
mistaken. The gentleman called on
the Hartenbower Bros. late Saturday
evening for figures on the work. They
informed him that they were ready to
submit bid but wanted to look over
the work first. 1t was arranged that
this should Be done Monday evening
The following Monday evening the
job was investigated and figures were
submitted. Mr. Harthrong was asked
to submit bid. He claims to have
informed the gentleman that he had q
business deal on just then but would
make an estimate in a day or two. Mr.
Bennett claims that he did submit
figures.

WHO CAN BE A KNocKER7

Someone has said business is dull, !"
Yes, there is always lull before a
storm. Well the storm is over, the
clouds are breaking away, the silver
lining is showing here and there.
If we just stop and consider the ad-
vantages we have right here in Can
lyon county, there will be no pessi-
mists among her citizens. 1t has been
recorded that we have produced 67A
bushels of wheat per acre, ll3 bushels
OF oats per acre, 4o spuds that weigh
100 pounds Those yields are not Sc
cured from special selected plots of
ground Canyon county has thous-
ands of acres that will equal this yield
under proper cultural methods. "Who
can be a Knocker?"
A very emminent authority has said
that Idaho has shown as fine fruit
this year as has ever been shown in
the world, and that apples grown in
the Boise valley are equal to any
grown anywhere, and that Jonathan
apples grown in this section are Su-
perior in keep qualities to those grown
in other famous fruit sections.
The good word is going out. Our
eastern cousins are beginning to sit
up and take notice. They learn from
the scattering few who come out here
and look us over that the wild and
woody west has disappeared, progress
sive cities grown up. all the advanta-
ges of society, schools and churches,
