RlELE Clue ACTIVITIES.

The Payette Valley Ride Club
has painted its target house and tar
get erected on the Range in Ore
gon. The posts have been set show
ing each one hundred yards for fir
ing points, which will enable those
having private rifles to go out and
practice before the rifles to be de-
iivered by the Government have ar
rived. The requisition for target sup
plies is being filled from the BE
nitia Arsenal,' and are looked for
daily. The Hles may be delayed
only because 1t is the custcm to de-
lay delivery when "Red-Tape" ap-
pears; however, the Club has been
offered the loan of some rifles
from the Boise Club and Mr.. Fred
Moss has offered to bring them from
Boise along with the new Buick
automobile he is going for some
day this week, to make delivery on
his latest sale. Vice-president White
will accompany Mr.. Moss and bring
with him some target supplies to
fill out the time before the Clubs
supplies will arrive. The Equinox
has supplied its storms to other
places than this favored portion of
Idaho, and the lovely bright fall
afternoons can be utilized by the
Club members in finding out the
difference between firing at
foot target and the side of barn
: There is ample room to miss the
target and not hurt any thing but a
hill, unless they miss more than SOo
feet high and half mile wide either
side,

cARsTENs GETS JAIL SENTENCE

VIM. N. Carstens, former assist.
ant postmaster at Payette, was in
Idicted by the Federal grand jury
at Boise Monday, for rifling the
mails. Upon being arraigned immed-
lately after the indictment had been
returned, before Judge F. S. Diet
rich in the United States District
Court, Carstens entered a plea of
guilty and was sentenced to six
months imprisonment in the Ada
county Jail.
Carstens' attorney made strong
plea in behalf of the family of the
defendant to have the court impose
a fine as the sole punishment, but
Judge Dietrich held that the dignity
of the court must be Upheld by the
following of the law in such cases,
saying, in substance, that the money
that would have to be used in pay
ing a fine might better be used in
supporting those dependent upon the
support of the prisoner while he
was serving out his sentence.

CALL FOR CITIZENS MEETING.

Pursuant to the Investigations
Council with reference to working
out plan to secure for the city
an adequate supply of pure water
for domestic purposes, it has been
deemed advisable to have a mass
meeting of the citizens of Payette,
in order that the entire subject
might be fully presented and care
fully gone over, to the end that the
city administration might be guided
in a large measure by public senti-
ment for or against the proposition
to incur such indebtedness as will
be necessary to secure a municipal
water system, by utilizing wells such
as that now owned by the city near
the spillway of the old Prestel
mill-site.
A very thorough test of that well
has been made and a satisfactory
analysis of the water has been Sc
cured. 1t is believed that water
system such as the city stands
greatly in need of can be obtained
at very reasonable cost by means
of system such as will be submit
ted for the consideration of the resi-
dents OF the city.
1t is therefore requested that a
mass meeting of the citizens of |
Payette be held in the Commercial
Club rooms in the City Hall, in the
City of Payette, on the evening of
Friday, October 9Th, for the purpose
Of considering and if possible, to
agree upon some definite plan of
out this municipal improve
nent that is so much needed and
las long been demanded.
Very respectfully,
BURT VENABLE, Mayor.

STATE BOARD
OF EDUCATION
HANDLES PROBLEMS OF GREAT
INTEREST TO. STATE
SCHOOLS.

The State Board OF Education held
Its regular quarterly meeting il
5Cise, September 18th to 14th. The
members of the Board were all prHs
eut-Evan Evans of Grangevile, Wa.
.er S. Bruce, Boise, T. A. Walters,
Caldwell, Ramsey M. Walker, Wal
ace, R. M. Terrell, Pocateno, Miss
Bernice Mccoy, State SuperinteL d MT
Mr.. R. M. Terrell takes the place
Of Mr.. H. Harland who resigned from
the Board to become Register of
the State Land Board.
The presidency of the Board be-
ing vacant on account of Mr.. Har-
iand's resignation, the vice-present,
Mr.. Evans, was elected president;
Mr.. w. s. Bruce was elected vice
president, and Mr.. II. A. Walters,
secretary. President Evans appoint
ed Mr. R. NJ Terrell on the Execu-
tive Committees of the University
and the Deaf and Blind School.
EDUCATIONAL BUDGET.
In addition to routine business
the Board was occupied mainly with
;wo great problems, the first being
he budgets of the six state insti-
tutions These were presented by
the heads of institutions and con-
tanned the estimated needs of the
Institutions for the coming biennium.
These budgets were given prelimi-
nary consideration; final action win
be taken at the next meeting of
the Board in November. The other
big item was the consideration Of
school legislation. The statute makes
it the duty of the State. Board of
to study educational con-
ditions and needs of the State, and
all proposed changes or ad-
litions to existing school laws
SCHOOL LEGISLATION
In accordance with this provision
the Board is constantly gathering
facts and data concerning the schools
and studying the experiences of the
schools thruout the State The ma
terial thus obtained forms the basis
of all recommendations made.
One of the main ideas OF the
Board with regard to school law
is to simplify it by removing unnec-
essary provisions and getting rid of
conflicts and obscurities, many of
which have accumulated owing to-
measures being passed without due
consideration of other statutes. AT
the last session of the Legislature,
the recommendations of the Board
resulted in actually reducing the
bulk of the school law.
HEALTH WORK IN SCHOOLS
The Board decided to recommend
a bill to enable the counties and
school districts to carry on health
work in the schools. In this connec-
ton they went on record as in fa-
vor of laying stress upon heath
rather than disease in all this work;
they favored having the health in
spections in the schools made as
as possible.
A number of the larger districts
IN the state are already conducting
health work and the results are
gratifying In the extreme One of
the largest towns In the state hes
eliminated epidemics Of
nhildren's diseases by this method.
In this matter the Board will act in
cooperation with the State Board of
Health.

DON'T BLAME THE FARMER

In a recent address before the
National Grange and the American
Workers at Washington, President
Wilson expressed the hope that the
American farmers would not permit
the recurrence Of present high
prices of farm products and food
materials. The farmer is not to
blame for present conditions.
The farmer is but single factor
in production. He is perhaps the
most consistent and dependable Of
many factors in production. The
seasons vary. Rains prevent !lar-
vests and damage hay and grain
Early frosts prevent the maturing
of crops. Severe winters increase
the consumption Of food, stock los
ses and the prices of meats. Drouth
reduces the yields. The farmer can
not control these things. He is not
to blame.
When high wages and great
booms in business attract laborers
to the city, and only buns and hobos
are left to employ of farmers, and
even these too few for the seeding
and the harvest, the farmer is not
to blame If high wages to artisans
and craftsmen in town are reflected
in increased cost OF production Of
farm staples, whose fault is it?
Only in higher prices is there an ad-
ded inducement to produce more.
To fear bread famine is f0Oly.
The resources Of the land are scarce
y touched. Millions Of acres are
idle, producing nothing. Other mil
lions produce only a small fraction
of what they are able. More land,
more labor, better methods Of cu'-
tivation, will multiply many times
the present product. Before starv
ing, millions OF city workers would
help cultivate lands to increase the
food product. 1t is uneccnmic to
produce food greatly in excess Of the
needs. A great surplus would en-
tail a loss to producers. Only
little more than the needed amount
is economically desirable. The larg-
er the proportion Of the countrys
population is engaged in manufac-
ture and commerce the better for
farl.ers and the higher the prices
for foods.
Farmers didn't start the Europe
an war. Don't blame them Tor that
yet who can deny that it has an
enormous influence on the cost OF
living.
Farmers sold eggs at Is cents.
20 cents Per iiUaon. Ash cold stor-
age managers. who Bought them,
why so cents is demanded Tor those
eggs now.
Don't blame farmers for car short
age. Perhaps stock manipulation
has sometimes displaced railway
management and operation.
A consideration of marketing and
cost of living will be prominent in
the Farmers Week program at
Bozelnan January 90 February ::
