chosen to consider the Constitu-
tion, there were weeks of heated
argument and serious debate. Del
aware won everlasting honor for
herself by being the first to ratify
the new constitution, making her
action unanimous. Pennsylvania
came second. In this state the
people were almost equally divid-
ed. but, according to Elson, the
Federalists held a snap" conven-
ton, and won the day after a
fierce contest. New Jersey came
third, and, like Delaware, ratified
the plan by a unanimous vote.
Georgia came unanimously on
January 2, and Connecticut fol-
lowed a week later.
Five states had ratified the
Constitution when the Anti-feder-
alists reused themselves and lined
up for battle. 1t remained for
/ Massachusetts to turn the tide in
! favor of the Constitution. Her
convention sat for several weeks
and discussed the document. 1t
would doubtless have peen defeat
ed but for the conversion of the
great New England leader, Sam
uel Adams, and the great lesson
taught by Shay's Rebellion. Mary
land and South Carolina followed
late in the spring. New Hamp-
shire became the ninth state, and
Virginia, the most powerful in the
group of states, followed after
four days.
For many months it seemed that
New York would refuse to ratify
the Constitution. When she was
about to be isolated from the rest
of the country, however, her peo
pie began to reflect more seriously
and late in July, 1888, the conven
ton was carried by the Federal
lists.
1.-TWO states, North Carolina anC
Rhode Island, owing to theil
paper money heresies Quoting
Elson), still remained sullenl,
out of the Union, the former ad
journing its convention withOu
action, and the latter refusing t.
call a convention. But at length
after the first amendments of th
constitution had been assured, AM
after the new government hat
been organized, and the Presiden
seated, and when the Unite,
States revenue laws were about t.
be enforced against them, thes
states sought admission to tn
sisterhood, and the whole thir
teen became united in one stron
government"

No other store in Newark can sell you original
Burbank seeds. The prices moderae-no more
than you would have to pay for average seeds of
good quality.
The securing of this exclusive right to sell
Luther Burbank original seeds is but another ind-
cation Of the progressive policies of this store to
give the unusual at all times. Look for the Bur
bank seal upon every package of seeds you buy.

TO HAVE FARM ADVISOR.


Ada county will have an agricul-
tural agent That became practically
certain Tuesday morning when del
egation OF farmers held meeting
with the county commissioners and
reached a tentative agreement, says
the Statesman, OF Tuesday Under
that agreement the commissioners
will appoint an agent recommended
by H. w. Hochbaum, head of the farm
management department of the Uni
versity of Idaho extension staff. For
the balance of this year his salary
will be paid from the Federal Smith
Lever fund and what state funds are
available for that purpose. Thereafter
his salary will be paid by Ada county.

TRIP OF LIBERTY BELL is OVER

The long journey of the liberty bell
is at an end, says dispatch from San
Frncisco on Saturday
After arousing San Francisco to one
of the most remarkable demonstrate
ons of patriotism in the history of the
west, the symbol of American Inde-
Ipendence rests tonight in the Penn
sylvania building at the Panama-Pac-
ific exposition.
Hanging in bower of CALIFORNIA; s
flowers, the bell all day received the
homage of cheering thousands. From
the Southern Pacific depot to the fair
grounds the ancient relic passed to-
day in an auto between unhroken
lines of men. women and children,
Hundreds of soldiers, sailors, marines
and plain citizens constituted its es-
cort. Hats oft" shouted the crowd,
as the bell passed out of the railroad
yards and hats off, was the slogan
OF the day through the long process
ion to the exposition.
Comment by Governor Alexander.

of Idaho, Governor Alexander said in

and they said they believed favorale
action by the board would meet with
little opposition in the county.
On account of the high taxes the
commissioners were unwilling to in
cur any expense for 1915. but were
willing to make the move for next
year if the agents salary for the rest
Of this year could be provided foI

GET FIRST WATER.
sss Section Receives Benefit from Arr
row Rock Reservoir.

The first delivery of storage water
from Arrow Rock to one OF the pri-
vately organized companies was made
Tuesday, when the New York canal
company began receiving some of the
$500 acre feet allotted to It. This was
In pursuance of contract made with
the Payette-Boise Water Users asso-
citation, says the Statesman.
At its meeting two weeks ago the
Water Users association voted to sell
$4,000 acre feet of the government
water it is figured will remain as a
surplus above the needs of the pro-
Z ject settlers. Apportionment of the
amount which the more needy COM
panies which have made application
will receive from the $4,000 acre feet
has been made by Supervising Engi-
neer Weymouth and A. V. Tallman
Of the state engineers office,i in whose
in whose hands the matter was left.
In letters mailed out the first of the
week officials of three of the larger
Irrigation systems expected to be the
first to need, extra water were infor-
med of the amount they may pur-
chase of the July allotment. To the
New York canal company is allotted
$500 acre feet. The Pioneer Irriga-
ton district is awarded 5000 acre
feet and the Farmers Union Ditch
company 1880 acre feet. This leaves
1920 acre. feet to be allotted to other
districts which have filed Applicant
ons. Among these are the Riverside
Settlers, Farmers Co Operative and
Nampa- Meridian systems.
Water will be turned into the Pho
neer and Farmers Union canals when
ever the officials SO request and they
may draw from the storage supply III
to the limit set.
1t was the thought of the Water
Users association directors that the,
would have further surplus in sigh
from which they may sell another al
lotment at their next meeting to b.
held about August 10th. The sur
plus then in sight may be as large a
$4,000 acre feet and, on the othe
hand, may be considerably less thai
v this amount. 1t is the intention Q
the association to do the best it cal
to relieve the situation by a furthe
sale from the government supply. N
promises are made in this respect
however, in the letters mailed out b
Mr. Weymouth.
The present spell of hot weathe

more rapidly than was anticipated

1t is said that not more than one 9
two of the river systems need suffe
in the next Is days and that not

enough water to give the third cro
