FARMERS INSTITUTE
The School Lunch by Venia Merle KelIar,
Farmers Institute Lecturer.


The school lunch is one thing that
can not be given too much thought, for
the health of the school children de-
pends largely on what they have for
their noon meal nine months out Of the
year.
From observation, | have noticed
that a great many of the children's
lunches are just thrown together, that
they consist chiefly of piece of bread
partially huttered, & slice of meat or a
hard boiled egg, and some times a
piece of cake or an apple may be added
and as usual thing we find the dinner
pals and baskets lined with newspaper.
Is it any wonder that children, carry
ing such lunches, prefer to eat in the

ANSWER Of BANK
IN C0UNTY'S SUIT

| That the county should collect its
money from the stockholders and not
from an insolvent bank, Is the con-
tention Of the defense in the suit
brought by the county against the
Boise State bank for $11O0 taxes.
Through Claude Gibson, the attorney,
the bank claims that the county should
assess and collect the taxes due on
the bank stock from the holders of the
paper. and not from the corporation.
1t admits that the bank should pay the
taxes on the stock If it were a fact
| that there were any undivided profits
or surplus in the treasury during the
| year for which the taxes were assessed
and levied.
The bank says, however that during
1911 there were never any profits in
the bank and that the stockholders
never had any money there that could
be used for the payment of taxes. In
this connection 1t points out that the
law provides corporation may pay an
employees taxes and then charge the
| amount against him to his salary &C.
count 1t argues that this might have
been done and the amount taken from
the surplus held by the stockholders II
there had ever been any surplus there
| during the year 1911. 1t contends that
the county should collect the money due
on the stock from the stockholders
themselves, that the baak was going in
debt every day during 1911 and that it
never had any money during that year
that could be credited against a stock
holder after the taxes on his stock had
been paid.
1t was brought out by w. O. Pierce,
assistant state bank examiner, that
Edward Payne. the president, had 20
| shares of stock in the bank in his own
name and that he held 154 shares as
trustee. 1t was also brought out that
on June 20, 1911, his indebtedness to
the bank both personally and as trustee
amounted to $42,07294.
