The Silo the Farmers Gold
Mine
A. L. Hacker

Good prices are now beine
paid for farm products, but W,
hear our city cousins complain
ing of the high cost of living
through their complaint, we are
fearful lest in some way we lose
these high prices. The farmer
is not inclined to believe he is
receiving any more for his pro
duce than he should. In fact,
he maintains his profit is still
too small. and he should receive
more. AS We ire an agricult.
ural people and prosper as the
farmers prosper, we certainly
should rejoice in these high pri.
ceS of farm products, but at the
same time. we expect the farmer
to use economic methods in his
production. To illustrate: We
would hear a storm of complaint
if the clOth-makerS were using
the spinning wheel and charging
prices accordingly. We could
not afford to pay for manufac-
tured goods if they were turned
out by old methods. We demand
progress in every department of
our industry, for the lager pulls
back the leader. If beef and
butter are too high. it may be be.
cause they are not being pro.
duced economically. Therefore,
the consumer certainly has a
right to complain if the farmer
does not use economic methods
IN his huSbandry.

mission when the town of Wardner

to be more serious than was at first

luckless perpetrator.

the name would be changed the O.-W.

which were sent to every agent of the

bones and scrubbed few lines on 1t
after which he mailed it to R. E. Weni-

Harmon's idea was to have q little
fun with the Wardner councilman and
1t was not until a report of the brief
filed by Wardner was received that 1t
was learned that this letter was in
cluded. c. W. Mount had visited the
Wardner committee several week s
previous and personally told those in
terested that the company had decided
to change the name, requesting at the
time that the fact be withheld from

INDUSTRIAL WORK
TO Be EXHIBITED
Annual Display Will Show
the Progress Made by
High School Pupils.

What the students of the Boise
schools are accomplishing along indus
trial lines can be seen Wednesday and
Thursday OF next week when the an
nual display OF work in the different
departments will be put on exhibition
covering a greater portion of the base
ment of the high school in both the
east and west wings. 1t Is given out
by the instructors that the exhibit will
be larger and better this year than
ever before and that in many instances
it will be carried out along different
lines. For instance in the domestic
science department instead of making
fancy dishes for exhibition as has
previously been the custom, the stud
ents will demonstrate the prenara-
ton of articles of food from to s
p. m. and 1880 to $50 D. m. Wednesday
and until 5 p. m. on Thursday. An
opportunity will also be given the pub
lie to purchase cookies and doughnuts
at cost.
The art department will have an
exhibit covering three years of the
work in the schools. The sewing de-
partment, which has always made a
big showing. will have better exhibit
this year and in addition to the general
work win show fancy waists and few
graduating dresses made by the girls.
The work of the manual training de-
partment, the agricultural department,
the mechanical drawing department
and in fact every department of the
vocational work in the grades will be
shown from the beginners to the
seniors. The work will be classified
SO that the spectators may note the
