"Oats baron' lis the latest title
that has been attached to former
Lieutenant Governor L. H. Sweet
ser of Burley, who continues to ac-
quire premium ribbons, diplomas and
other articels on oats grown on his
farm. Just now he is in the posi-
ton of a man holding a first prize
and not knowing on what grounds
the honor was conferred. He was
notified that oats exhibited by him
at South Carolina's national show
took first prize, and r. w. Spangler
of this city wrote to the oats grower
to ascertain for what the ribbon
was awarded. In reply he received
the following humorous letter yes
terday which was signed by l.. H.
Sweetser, "oats baron"::
'Honored Sir-I have just come
from the Raft river ranch here but
the fancy oats is not available for
topographic purposes received some
sort of a first prize for white oats.
Professor Olin has written to find
out what it means and maybe he has
received reply. The celluloid certifi-
cate is in possession of the clerk of
the Owyhee. l have not yet confid-
ed in any newspaper reporter, pre-
ferring to wait to ascertain what
really got The first prize by rights
should be for the heaviest head
grown"
Mr.. Spangler wrote for photo

for information. The above letter
was in reply.

THREE coNvlcTs ARE RELEASED
FROM PENlTENTlARY
Pardons Are Granted To Them While
Several Others Have Their
Sentences COMMITTED

Three convicts at the penitentiary
were granted pardons by the state
board of pardons Wednesday, some
others had their sentences commuted
and Carl Machold had his reprieys
extended to the July meeting of the
board. In all the board considered
80 cases. Some of them were con-
tinued to the next meeting and quite
a number of applications wee de-
MED.
Practically the entire day was con-
sumed by Governor Haines, Attorney
General Peterson, Secretary of State
Clifford and Warden Shook in the
consideration Of these cases.
Unconditional pardons were grant
ed to but two men. These are ThOm-
as Ryan, sent up from Bonneville
county for burglary under sentence
of l to Is years. His term began
April 23, 1911, so that he had served
practically two years. Ryan Is also
suffering from tuberculosis and was
endangering the lives of the other
prisoners. Clemency was solicited by
the Judge of his district and the at
torney of his county.
Jack Miller, sent up for two and
a half to 10 years from Elmore coun-
ty for a statutory crime, had his SEN
tence commuted to two and one-half
years. He has been in prison since
July, 1911.
The applications of Frank Gaffney
and Jack Mamba were considered
and further action deferred until the
meeting of the board i'm July.
In the Machold case the board
found that it could take no action in
the matter of pardon for the rea-
son, as pointed out in these columns
some days ago, that Machold would
have to make application for pardon
in the regular way and have his ap-
plication published, as provided for
by law. ALI the board could do in
behalf of Machold was to continue
the reprieve of the governor until the
meeting in July.

MOUNTAIN HOME. IDAHO. SATURDAY, APRIL s. 1918.
SHOOK REELECTED WARDEN BY
PRISON BOARD
No Other Name Was Considered and
He Was Reappointed by
Unanimous Vote

John w. Shook was unanimously
reelected warden of the state peni-
tentiary by the state board of prison
commissioners at its regular meeting
yesterday The re-appointme dates
from April IL and will run for two
years. There was no other name
considered.
This will be Warden Snook's third
term in the office and each time he
was chosen by the unanimous vote of
the board. He presented no indorse-
ments for the place, choosing rather
to permit the board to Judge of his
fitness for the place by the record
he has made.
Heretofore, it is said, the peniten-
tiary has figured prominently In
state campaigns, but since Warden
Shook assumed the office this has
not been true. 1t is also considered
significant that although the present
warden has served under both Re
publican and Democratic administra-
tions he has held aloof from politics
and has been chosen always without
opposition.
In addition to the reelection of
Wardar Cnnok tho hoard ra-aJaotad
DR.. George Collister prison physician
and this will make 16 years that he
has served in that capacity. Mrs,
John w. Shook was also reelected
matron of qthe prison. Statesman,

VILLAGE ELECTION
A QUIET AFFAIR
Only One Member of the Old Board
10 EIected-Bond Question
is Up In The Air

The Village election here last Tues
day passed off very quietly, and but
little interest was taken in either
election of Trustees or the sewer
bond issue
Advocates of the sewer bonds are
now kicking themselves that they
did not get out a few more votes for
the bond and land it safely within
the required number and likewise are
the opponents kicking themselves for
not mastering few more in opposi-
ton, which they easily could have
done. The vote on the bond ques-
tion stood 124 to 60. AS it requires
two-thirds majority to carry, it is a
question If it is carried or lost. The
city attorney is not sure that the
bonds would have been legal if they
had carried by any number of votes
as the Village cannot bond for more
than 40 per cent of the assessable
valuation. However, the case may
be tried out in a friendly suit to as
certain just how the question stands.
The vote on trustee resulted as fol-
lows: John F. Gaines 166; r. H.
Bennett 1853; J. H. Whitson, 1876; B.
B. Swan, 142; H. H. Eaton 1873. This
composes the personel of the new Vii
lage board.
The defeated candidates were W.
A. Hoobler who received 1913, Sulli-
van 119; F. j. Ticknor 109; and J.
B. stanfield 104.
The vote polled was very light.
This was partially due to inclement
weather and partially to lack of in
terest There were registered 393
names and the election fell short of
that figure over 100 votes.

are the only marks of the passing of
the years since then and now.
In consequence of the day Mr.. and
Mrs. Weaver invited in a group of
friends last evening to aid in the cele
bration thereof and in delightful
but informal way the welcome of the
iamly home on North Ninth street
was extended to the company.
Showers of green and white we'd
ding bells adorned the archways and
chandeliers while elsewhere about
the rooms tiny chimers We're ef-
fectively placed. Wherever possible
the green and white motif of the oc-
casion was used and it figured In all
appointments OF the decorations and
of the late hour luncheon served fol-
lowing a jolly tournament of cards.
After merry greetings and congrat-
ulations the guests surrounded the
small tables placed at convenient In
tervals and the favorite high five"

white cards in wedding bell design
with pencils in the opposite color
were dainty conceits upon which to
keep score which when counted re-
suited in the awarding of a lovely
nandpainted salt and pepper set in
rose design and a bronze cigar tray
as the first favors for the ladies and
gentlemen while the consultations
were package of gum and cigar.
Following the friendly tournament
the tables were cleared and tempt
ing collation. of banana salad served
in lettuce beds, sandwiches, pine
apple ice, cake. coffee and green and
white mints refreshed the guests.
Mr.. S. S. Lightfoot presented Mr.

friends assembled, with beautiful
.arge Satsuma Japanese vase. In
his jovial remarks he made the host
and hostess feel they had endeared
themselves to the friends assembled
which they fully appreciated by ap-
propriate words of acceptance.
Throughout the hours splendid
selections ON the graphaphone were
played and listened to with much
pleasure during the conversational
pauses.
In every way the evening had been
one of unalloyed merriment and those
to share in its pleasant phases and to
wish the host and hostess, whose
hospitality had been most cordial,
