Home Cannerv
a Profitable
Investment

A question of paramount i'm.
portance to every farmer in
Idaho today is whet ther the in
stallation of a small cannery is a
probable undertaking? Can the
by-products that go to waste at
home annually be utilized and
sold at profit? The results OF
our experiments thus far seem to
indicate that an undertaking OF
this kind would be profitable,
especially for those not having
access commercial canneries.
AS an illustration we will

The Panama
Camel Toll

President Wilson is in favor of
a repeal OF the law giving dis
criminations to American vessels
going through the Panama
Canal, claiming that such dis
elimination is contrary to our
treaty Obligations with England.
We think with our president that
there being such an agreement it
should be lived up to. and that
our country should keep up its
good faith with its sister nations.
The United States has an un.
sullied reputation for clean and
open diplomacy, and for being
honest in its treaty relations.
President Wilson will be gener.
ally supported in upholdi,,g the
National honor.
We agree that the canal is
American. and has been built
and paid for by the United
States, but yet let us be true to
our treaty contrats. We believe
that our own interests will be
best conserved by opening it to
the world on an equal bases.

Experts Discuss
Cost Of Brick Work

Just prior to the opening of the
clay products show, when it was
known there would be demand for
information on comparative cost of
wood and brick or tile houses of SIM
liar design, the brick men started an
investigation and secured reports
from six contractors.
The result was an average showing
Of f3 per cent excess over clapboard
house in brick house with % inch
solid walls, with considerable smaller
excess in the case of cheaper brick
constructions In figures a clapboard
house from q particular design would
cost $6, ,759, and the best type of.brick
house $7.641.
More favorable results were secur-
ed from independent contractors in
other cities. The following statement
came from William d. Austin. of
of Boston after examination of
$1,000 brick house.
The cost of this brick work. includ-
ing the necessary Turing and the
more expensive window frames and
finish required would be about 81 200
The exterior walls, if in frame with
shingles or clapboards, would cost
about 5000 less, and if in frame with
metal lathing and cement plaster
about $500 less. In other words. If
the total cost of the house in brick
is $4,000, the saving in wood would
be 6 per cent and in cement plaster S
per cent.
The figures here given are based
on carefully made estimates which
were obtained from reliable contrac-
tors, and, generally speaking, repre-
sent the comparative cost of wood.
