FARM MARKETS BUREAU STARTS
Department Created by Last Legisla-
ture Now Ready for Business

The new department of farm
markets, which was created by the
last Idaho legislature, officially
came into existence recently with
Director w. G.. Scholtz in charge,
who made the following statement:
There are three distinct feat
ures in the law which created the
farm markets department. In the
first place there is the farm land
listing feature through which own
ers can list their farm property for
sale and the department endeavor-
ing, through funds made available
for this purpose, to promote the
sale of the properties listed, bring
ing the seller and the buyer direct
ly in touch with each other. Any
farm land owner wishing to dispose
of any part of his holdings is in
vited to get in touch with this Of
fee, upon receipt of which request
the necessary blanks and further
particulars will be furnished. Then
there is the free farm employment
bureau, through which this Office
will attempt to bring the job and
the man together, without expense
to anyone concerned. This feature
of the law is really self explanatory
and anyone desiring farm help of
any kind, or anyone desiring farm
work, is requested to correspond
with this office.
The largest and most important
feature of this law is of course the
one concerning the better distribu-
ton of farm products. Instant re-
lief along these lines of course can
not be expected as the first year
will be taken up largely with pre-
liminary work, organizing, survey
ing the field and mapping out
plans. Right from the start, how
ever, l am anxious to get the farm
ers throughout the state to realize
that in this department they will
have friend at court, state de-
partment that is particularly inter
ested in their commercial problems
and anxious to assist in every way
possible. "

A NEW FAITH.

Although Mai Dan Morgan Smith
of Chicago was never personally ad-
dicted to the use Of strong drink, yet
he was for several years the able gen.
eral counsel OF the Model License
league. He is now a jealous advocate
of temperance, and thus writes: Ar
guments that once seemed so plaus-
ible have failed me; for the founda-
tion of my faith and the corner stone
of my arguments was the failure OF
regulation and the success Of prohibit
tion. My faith is gone and my corner
stone is displaced, my structure has
fallen, and 1t remains for me to help
build another, founded on new faith.

whinstone, In the course OF the op

welldefined foundations, which so far
as can be ascertained, were not known
to the present generation. The re-
mains are directly in front OF the por-
ton known as the Chapel Royal
(which has long been used as an ar
mory), and they take the form of two
lines of stones, each line being about
three feet in width. Nothing has been
done to destroy the remains, the po-
sitions of which have been indicated
by the linear arrangement of the sets

lines of stones form part OF the
foundations of the original Chapel

HOW TO EDUCATE.
In the temperance education cam
paign now being vigorously carried on
in all parts of the country a special
lied system is advisable DR.. Wells
Andrews, in Chicago Daily News.
puts this suggestion into words that
are well worth passing on.
Tell the lumber men Of Michigan, he
says, how many thousands of drinking
farmers will shingle their homes and
barns or build new ones as soon as
they quit their meanness" Tell the
shoe manufacturer of Massachusetts
what 1t means to take all the bare
feet Of drunkards' children of the
ground. Tell the iron men Of Penn
sylvania that new stoves will be need
ed in 100000 homes when the saloon
keeper ceases to get the money, and
tell the miners they will have work
all winter through getting coal enough
to put into those stoves. Tell the wool
growers Of Ohio that everybody in this
country is going to be wrapped In
woolen and sleep under blankets when
the blizzards blow, and the men no
longer heat up with "liquid fire" in or
der to exterminate their families with
atmospheric cold. Tell the cattle rails
ers Of the West and stockyards men
in Chicago that there is going to be
beef on thousands Of tables, where
now there are few cold potatoes. Tell
the grocer he can sell for cash and say
good-by to bad debts when the dimes
no longer go into the saloon till. Tell
the farmers there is going to be an
unheard of demand for flour and meal,
butter, cheese and eggs as soon as
beer drinkers cease fostering that In
dustry and begin filling out the hol
low cheeks OF wives and children.
