This provision of the law makes 1t
a misdemeanor for one dairyman to
use the bottles of another dairyman
in handling milk or cream.
the consumers attention is invited
to the provision of the law making
1t misdemeanor to use milk cans
or milk bottles for any purpose other
than holding of milk or cream. This
Jaw reads as follows, chapter PIP,
session laws 1911, section four:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son other than the rightful owner
thereof to use any (milk) can, bottle,
cask, keg, barrel or other receptacle
marked or branded as herein provid-
ed, for any other purpose, or for the
transportation or handling of any
article or product than designated or
provided for by such branding"
1t has come to the attention of this
department that milk bottles register
ed and marked with the name of the
owner, are being conlscated by some
housewives and used as jelly glasses,
etc. This is not only unfair to the
,dairyman but is a violation of law.
Investigations along this line will be
made and prosecution instituted
where facts are sufficient to warrant
such action.
1t might be we'll for the public to
bear in mind that registered milk
bottle cannot be sold by the dairy
man and cannot be used by anyone,
other than the owner, for any pur-
pose and can be used by the owner
only for the transportation and de
livery of milk and cream.
Creameries,, dairies, junk dealers
and all Others are warned that this
law will be enforced.

HORRORS OF CONQUEST
Copyright 1915

Moscow-Hundreds of refugees
from Warsaw are arriving here daily,
Most of them are without money or
means of substenance and are seeking
aid at the American consulate, where
an enlarged staff is attempting to
lsupply temporary assistance, pending
the organization of Russian relief
lcommission.
The refugees state that although
the population of the Polish capital
was convinced that the Germans ul-
timately would occupy the city, a ma
jority of the citizens elected to re-
main, only approximately 15 per cent
to date having left the city. This
accounts for the absence of panic
which accompanied the exodus.
AS the German occupation at first
seemed imminent, the government is
sued an order that third class tickets
to any point in the interior Of Russia
would be given free to all citizens
desiring to depart. The only condi-
tion attached by the authorities was
that residents 80 leaving would not
be allowed to return without special
permit.
The abandonment of the city was
so carefully planned and SO systemati-
cally executed that an onlooker re-
ceived the impression that nothing
more extraordinary was occurring
than the ordinary summer exodus.
Sufficient extra trains had been pro-
vided 30 that travelling conditions on
the whole differed little from normal.
An unusual feature of the present
retirement was the fact that provis-
ion tickets we're made unnecessary.
The bulk of the refugees travelled
ON foot or with their wagons along
the highways. Most of the refugees

ma monopolized for military purposes,
they took the line to the east, tenn
porarily crowding Moscow, vladova
and Brost-L Litivsk. Many of these lost
their homes in the outlying portions
Of Warsaw, the destruction of which
became military necessity.
All the territory Immediately to, the
west of Warsaw, containing large
factories, Polish estates and peasant
dwellings, now presents blackened
and uninhabitable areas.
Care had been taken that no subur-
ban factories should fall in the hands
of the Germans and be converted to
their. use. Chief among those de-
stroyed was the million-dollar sugar
factory" belonging to Polish lawyer,
Eugene Kuruluk, with more than
'2,OQ6 tons of sugar.
The factories in the city itself, al
though abandoned, had not yet been
destroyed when the refugees left.

the people were invited to take ad-
vantage of the occasion to offer a

tions on the mail-order question. 1t

conscientiously believed it profitable
to patronize home merchants, viewed

THRIFT

One of the most important confer
ences at the congress of education in
San Francisco was that dealing with
thrift. Attention was called to the
need of the American developing in
dividual and community saving of
waste material and waste time. II
every citizen of Idaho could observe
the principle that his expenses each
week, each month and each year,
should be somewhat less than his in
come, presuming' that he has an In
come adequate to meet the needs OF

his particular social relations and
Eprovide some savings fund, there
would be very decided advance in
Fthe economic situation throughout
this entire state.
If the farmer in Idaho could be
persuaded to form budget or esti-
mate of yearly expenses for his farm
and for his household and II he would
adopt some simple but reliable sys-
TEN of accounting for farm and fami-
ly expenses, it would assist greatly
in arriving at the proper basis Of saw
ing and accumulating. In, addition
to the general practice of making
budgets and following an accounting
system, each farmer. would profit
greatly if he would adhere to reso-
luton not to purchase any machinery
which was not absolutely needed SO
long as the older machinery could be
repaired and used economically. 1t
was the opinion of this congress, and
there were able authorities in attend
ince, that practice of this sort would
change the entire financial situation
with many who are now paying pro-
hibitory interest rates. A study and
practice of these suggestions is rec
commended by the University of Idaho
in the firm belief that the practice Of
such principles would be of inestima-
BILE value to all agricultural interests
in this great state.

NAMES OF STATES

Most of the United States have spe-

not to members Of others states. New

course, the Gold state. Vermont is
the Green Mountain state and New
Hampshire the Granite state. Mass

Maine is the Pine Tree state Rhode
island is called Little Rhody, and
Connecticut very properly objects to
the nickname Wooden Nutmeg state,
though in really compliments her for
her very neat and perfect manufac-
iture of all sorts of little things. like
buttons and pins.
Tennessee is called the Big Bend
state, because of the winding river,
and Kentucky is the Corn-cracker
state, or the Blue Grass state. North
Carolina is the Old North and the
Turpentine state. South Carolina is
the Palmetto state and Virginia is, of
course, the Mother of Presidents and
also the Old Dominion. West Vir-

The spectacular finish of the cam
paign which was the subject of my
article published last week, was per-
heps the most unique affair ever
coptrived in the way of celebrating
:, commercial victory.
More than $4,000 had been ex-
pended for mail-order goods and as
the use made of most of them had of
course destroyed their value, it was
decided to hold big barbecue, the
main feature of which would be the
burning of these goods that had so
usefully served their purpose.

ROUNDHOUSE WILL BE
BUILT IN NAMPA NEXT YEAR
Will be Recommended
by Chief Engineer Robinson.
(Nampa Leader-Herald. }

That an eight stall roundhouse and
railroad shops be built at Nampa dur
ing 1916 will be recommended to the
board of directors of the Oregon
Short Line by Chief Engineer Robin
son in his report to the board in Jam
uary. Mr.. Robinson was in Nampa
yesterday and made the definite state
ment that he would recommend the
erection of roundhouse here.
The statement from the chief en-
gineer came after he had learned that
satisfactory arrangements had been
made with the Pioneer Irrigation dis
trict for changing the course of their
ditch running through the railroad
company's property near the "H,
where it is planned to build the round
house. Arrangements for diverting
the canal from its present course
were made by Assistant Engineer
Lawthers, who met with the board of
directors of the irrigation company
last Saturday.
The need for roundhouse here has
been felt for some time, according to
railroad men. The present accomo-
dations for housing engines are far
too small and other wise unsatsfac-
tory. At times as many as ten and
twelve locomotives must be allowed
to stand out in the open.
While it will be recommended by
the engineering department of the ..
S. L., that a roundhouse and shops be
built at Nampa next year, final decis-
ion on this point rests with the board
of directors of the system. who will
hold meeting to pass on such mat
tiers in New York some time during
the winter. Since the contemplated
improvement here is said to be one
of the most urgent on the whole sys-
tenn, it is generally believed that the
directors will adopt the recommends
ton of the engineering department
The roundhouse will be built on the
unit system so that additional stall:
may be added as the railroad business
increases. Shops sufficiently large tc
handle all of the lighter repair worl
on locomotives will be erected at The
same time the roundhouse is built.
