AS early as 1911 the Swedish riks-
dag passed a law establishing a ma
tionaI board of censors for all films to
be shown in the kingdom and laying
down certain guiding principles, ac-
cording TO which yerdicts should be
rendered. The law embodied Ia the
main the recommendation of a COM
mittee appointed several months ear
lier. The Swedish system has since
served as a model for legislation in
Norway and Denmark. The Swedish
statutes prohibit the exhibition of all
film scenes prescribed by the COM
mon or statute law of the land or
by a sense of propriety and good man
ners. Films must be excluded which
might tend to foster vulgarity or ex-
alt boorishness. Care must be exer-
cised to eliminate all scenes likely to
confuse ideas of right and wrong, and
films that present suicides or brutal
or ingeniously contrived crimes. Films
may not be shown betraying army or

Serving Grape Fruit.

A visitor from Florida says the latest
way Of serving grapefruit is to cover the
fruit with Virginia Dare wine. The
sweetness Of the wine ncutralizes the
acid of the fruit and largely takes the
place Of sugar. though sugar is some
times added by those of extra sweet
taste. II is easily imagined that the fla

THE FIRST CAMPAIGN RALLY.

Captain E. c. Davis, OF Boise, Re-
publican candidate for the nomina-
tion for governor of Idaho, spoke to
a good-sized audience at the Booster
club room last Friday evening. He
said this was preliminary get ac-
quainted affair, and that he hoped to
come again later in the campaign. The
address of Captain Davis was we'll
received, and was along the usual line
of his remrks that have appeared in
the public press of late. He advo-
Gates less of an expenditure of money
by candidates and is by means of an
auto tour of the state attempting to
demonstrate that a candidate, even
a poor man, can reach and secure the
support of the people without a big
amount of money being paid out for
hired workers, hiring halls. bands,
etc. The Captain will start out on a
trip in few days, and will speak
at every cross roads" from his auto.

Tallman Reelected watermaster.

A. v. Tallman was reelected water
master for the Boise river by the
members of the Boise Valley Water
Users Association, who met in the
city hall at Boise Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Tallman has been special dep
uty to the State Engineer, and as this
position means much to his position
as water master, a committee with
Dan Barker as chairman was appoint
ed to wait upon the governor and ask
him to appoint Mr.. Tallman special
deputy to the state engineer without
salary. This appointment would mean
that the water users could secure
from the government $500 toward
paying the water master and the
state would be saved an expense ac-
count of SO a day and expenses for
the special deputy.
The meeting was attended by
about 12-13ths of all the water us
ers and was presided over by Mr.. Bar
ker. The members include all the
water users from Boise to Parma

HOW PROHIBITION WORKS.

Never have there been so few pris-
oners at the county jail at Boise as at
the present time. The former aver
age, according to Sheriff Post, is
from eight to %. Since the state
went dry the number has grown less
and less until at the present time
there are but four county prisoners
and one held on federal charge
Statesman, Mch 9Th.
One would expect to read such an
item In the New Republic, or even
in the Meridian Times, but not in the
Statesman. If such a record is be-
ing made during the brief time prohi-
bition has been in effect, how long
will it take to clean out the jail en-
tirely? When this happens court
costs will tumble and taxes will be
less to the people of the county. A
good argument for the prohibition
cause.

WILL CALL ELECTION
Settlers of n. & M.District in Favor
of Refunding Bonds Rather than
Direct Assessment.

Holders of water rights within the
Nampa e Meridian Irrigation district
favor the plan of issuing refunding
bonds rather than direct assess
ment on their lands for the purpose
OF meeting that portion of the bond
ed Indebtedness of the district which
falls due this year. The former plan,
while extending the time for pay
ment number of years, carries with
it additional interest on the refund
ing bonds.
A short time ago letters were sent
to the settlers asking that they ex-
press their preference with regard to
the two methods. At the regular
meeting of the Nampa & Meridian
board of directors Tuesday the sec
retary reported that the replies re-
ceived indicated that the owners of
5213 inches of water were in favor
of calling special election to au-
thorize the issue of refunding bonds,
as compared to owners of 1916 in
ches of water who considered it best
due by levying special assessment
on their holdings.
The result of this canvass will be
Lh"t tHo podiu VI uiIeCIOTS Will III the
near future call a special election
when the question of authorizing the
new bond issue will be regularly sub
mitted to vote of the settlers as
provided by law. 1t is probable that
provision will be made not only for
refunding the $4,000 worth OF
bonds which fall due next November
but also for whatever portion of the
bonded Indebtedness must be met
from year to year in the future, sc
that it will not be necessary to call
a special election every year.

day, set apart to direct attention to
the wonderful development of sal

A solid train of so carloads of can

Idaho via the o.. s: L.. February %,
bound for New York where part of
the consignment was exported to Eu-
rope and the remainder distributed
to domestic consuming centers. II
was rated as costing $250,000 and
was sufficient to furnish a meal for
each of 100000 persons.

SALE BREAKS RECORD
Over 81 300 Worth of Property Sold
at Monthly Traders Day Sale in
Meridian Saturday.

The second monthly Traders day
sale in Meridian last Saturday is
generally conceded to have been one
of the largest if not the largest event
of the kind ever held in Idaho. The
actual receipts of the sales ring ag-
gregated $1,000, and another remark
able circumstance is that over half of
this amount was paid in cash at the
time of sale.
The class of livestock was except
ionally high and, especially the hor-
ses, mules and cattle, attracted prom
inent buyers from several outside
points. There were over 40 head of
horses and mules sold singly or in
spans, about 80 head of cattle and
prices on everything offered were ap-
parently satisfactory to both buyers
and seller.
The sale attracted one of the largest
Saturday crowds ever in Meridian.
1t is difficult to estimate the number
of people in town but in addition to
the large crowd around the sale yard
local business houses were crowded
nearly all day and the merchants had
record breaking business.
Six hundred lunches were served,
this being free treat from the Mer-
ididan citizens.
Col. Marsters & Son conducted the
sale, with Leo Marsters as general
sales manager, and it's success is
largely due to their effort and the
assistance of E. c. Pfaffle and w. H.
Peer as clerks.
The next Traders day sale will be
held Saturday, April 1st.

WILL ORGANIZE CLUBS.

County Agent F. L. Williams and
Miss Ivy Wilson, County Supt., have
been visiting the schools of the
county in the interest of the boys and
girls club work. This movement start
ed by the government a few years
ago, aims to secure interest in corn,
potato, pigs and poultry clubs for
boys, and sewing and cooking clubs
for girls. The matter was talked at
each school and clubs will be organ
lied in many of them as a result. 1t
is hoped to secure better showing
this year in Ada county, so that we
will be better competitor for Can
yon county, which has won the ban
ner for two years.
