FOLLOWING
SUGGESTION
Many Property Owners Have Cut
Weeds and Thoroughly Cleaned
Up Premises.

Last week we had an article urg-
ing the people to clean up their
premises, cut the weeds and white
wash their fences. In going over
the city the first of the week we
have had our attention called to the
fact that many people followed the
suggestion given. We are sure
everyone wants their premises clean
and sanitary and it will surprise you
how little time it will take to have
them put i'm that condition.

VERY HIGH
PRICES PAID
Good Crowd Of Buyers Present from
Central Kentucky Counties Here
Monday.

Quite a good crowd in the city
Monday and the most orderly one

all seemed to be doing nicely.
Fully 5000 cattle were on the
market with some good stuff in the

of sight. When feeders are weigh
ed up at 8 cents it means that prices
are close to the danger line. The
best SO0-pound steers sold at 8
cents, and ~ cents was common.
Yearlings at Z to ~ for the best.
Heifers at 6l2 to 7 cents, with one
bunch of extra ones at $40, a price
that we never saw before on this
market for stockers. Cows at So
to 1915 for the best; 512 to cents
for bulk of sales. Old cows and
rough oxen at 4 to cents. Bulls
at to cents. Good crowd at the
pens and all Central Kentucky had
good buyers for all desirable stock.
A great many sales made during the
day and the bulk of sales were by
the head, making it difficult to catch
many sales.

Question rabors Record.

Considerable controversy has devel-
oped in track and field circles as to the
propriety Of accepting the new worlds
record Of 4 minutes, - s-5 seconds for
the mile run, made by Norman Taber
in the Harvard stadium on July IL.
The contention Of the objectors to ac-
cepting the figures is that the time was
made IN special trial and not In
race in the true sense OF the word.
Few followers OF athletics realize the
difficulty OF finding a field and condi
tons that win give runner Of Taber's
type the opportunity to break such a
record even though he has the ability.
In the race In which w. @. George
Of England established the worlds rec
ord that Taber broke the English pro
fessional bad as his opponent In the
match contest at Lilliebridge, London.
Billy Cummings. runner Of almost
equal ability. It can be seen. there
fore, that It b seldom that a group Of
runners Of sufficient speed can be gath
cred under perfect racing conditions to
warrant expectations Of reducing rec
orda which have reached the point
where the mile figures are today.

gives premise Under renewed activity
Of again becoming thriving mining
center. as a new mine this year has
become producer. with every indi7
cation of becoming one Of the big
mines Of the state; and there is much
activity BIZ prospectors and claim
owners all over the historic district.
In the vicinity Of idaho City several
mines are reported as entering on the
ore shipping stage and there IS great
activity in all Of the surrounding dis
tricts
Marvellous stories are coming from
the Deadwood district and the old re-
liable Occur d Alenes are developing
new properties OF the million dollar
class. And so the story goes from
one end of the state to the other. In
a mineral sense. the next FIVE years
will have placed Idaho on the map.
And the best Of II All Is that there IS
no fuss and feathers. nothing but good,
solid work with definite object IN
view.

George Perring, the hard hitting In
fielder Of the Kansas City Feds. uses
a bat that Is more than thirty years
old and which came originally from a
prison seafold that was the scene OF
many hangings.
Perring's father was a basebalIer.
When in the heyday Of his career the
scaffold in the Ohio state prison was
diamantled the older Perring got q
piece Of tia hickory joiat--and had It
carved down into the size OF baseball
bat.
For twenty years he used that bat.
and It produced a large flock OF hits.
Seven years ago the father gave the
bat to the son, and the son. has been
using It ever since.
Perring never allows any one to carry
around the bat for him. He takes 1t
himself IN a special case.

PATRoNTzE HOME rNDUsTRy

EA1kONALE HOME INDUSTRY
A good slogan at all times Pat
ronize home industries In fact that
IS the only way to build up own town.
If anyone, and that all comprehensive
term is broad enough to include each
individual and each individual should
act as though he himself were the
only one concerned; IL then. every one
should make il a rule to patfonize
home products the community would
grow by leaps and bounds. 1t would
be better place to live; for back of
the local patriotism would be a spirit
of cooperation and Of helpfulness
that would cement all interests into
one. There has been constant preach
ment for some time of the doctrine of
patronizing home products. but it will
have missed its point unless il has en-
listed individuals for all time. Every
local patriot. and by that name we
distinguish those who have adopted
this rule, Immediately becomes a pro-
pagandist to spread the doctrine OF
community building by mutual CO.
operation. and so one thoroughly
earnest advocate can be depended up
on TO constantly enlist new recruits.
We are firmly convinced that there
is a better spirit abroad in Boise than
at any time in recent years; that in
dividuals are asking themselves what
they can do to usher in an era Of pros
perity, and there is nothing that one
can do that will prove more beneficial
than by always patronizing home in
dustries; that is the one sure way to
an era of prosperity that
will be founded upon solid rock.

The work of the Industrial Reia-

ahe history of organized labor in the
United States. While the Commits

three separate and distinct reports,
the fact remains that practically all OF
1abor's demands were presented in
the chief report, which is signed BY
four OF the nine members. This re-
port, known as the Marley report
will present labor's views in details
and in an official manner to the Amer
lean people as it will, undoubtedly.
be printed for wide distribution under
authority of Congress.
4 The report goes into details upon
a wide variety of subjects, all of
which had been under more or less
thorough investigation, and it is the
FIRST time that so comprehensive a
presentation OF the cause of labor
syill have been presented under off
'ciai authority. The tremendous inn
portance Of this fact cannot be over
estimated as showing the trend of
modern thought and the growing
strength Of the labor movement. AS
our cause is Just, so is it surely win

From now on practically the en-

will be discussed in the public prints.
