New Law So Construed by Boise
Attorney.
Only minors under the age of 1S
years are prohibited by legislation
passed at the last session, from smok-
ing cigarettes, or using tobacco in
anv form, according to the decision
of Prosecuting Attorney Givers which
was given at the request of Juvenile
Judge Dunbar of this county, saws the
Statesman.
The bill making it criminal mis-
demeanor for minors to use tobacco
in any form and making it a crime
for any person to give those under
age tobacco, to sell it to them or to
permit them to frequent their prem
ises for the purpose of using tobacco,
was confusing, since in its title, it de-
clared that it related to "minors un-
der the age OF Is years" while the
body of the bill made reference only
to minors"
Under the statutes of Idaho, a minor
ls male person under the age of 21
years or female under the age of Is,
and the juvenile court Judge was there
for at loss to know whether per-
son more than 1S and less than 81,

new law. or whether it applied, as the
title indicated only to bows under 1S,
Prosecuting Attorney Givens, in his

UNDER AUSPICES OF RIO GRANDE
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY AT
DONNA.

DONNA. Texas. March 1S.-In re
Spouse to the invitations sent out through
the generosity Of the society's president,
Z. Pomery, about seventy people gather
cred from all Over the Valley at La
Granja, the presidents home, to zeal
about the progress made in the CONNER
cial strawberry growing contest and 10
see the fruit exhibited by the contestants.
The committee of judges consists of
Messrs Sam III. Emerson of Mercedes,
DR.. G.. w. Collier of Donna, and the
president. Mr.. POmerOy. On Jan. 81,
last. this committee made a tour Of in
sp~ectiOn, visiting all the places and tax
ing notes and observations. The results
were embodied in a brief preliminary re-
port which has already been published
in full. The essential facts set forth
were: ~ Strawberries can be grown in
the Valley; ~ satisfactory commercial
yields can be obtained; 81 KlOndyke is
a better variety in this climate than Elk
celsiOr or st. Louis.
At the meeting held at La Grania these
three points seem very well established
for a favorable season such as our past
winter has been.
RATE OF YIELD TABLE.
Variety. St. Louis, plants to yield one
quart, Feb. %, 200; March 1 $50.
Variety, Excelsior, plants to yield one
quart. Feb. %. $50; March I, 160.

Mr.. MOthershead's report shows many
other things besides but they are being
reserved for further confirmation and
analysis and will appear in a bulletin to
be published by the society later.
