troduced by Representative w. c.
Adamson OF Georgia to make all au-
tomobiles eligible for use on the
roads OF any state il the home state
license is paid. At present many
states have very narrow periods in
which a foreign car can be operated
in the state without taking out a state
license. Rhode Island allows oniy
seven days each year. Nebraska law
says that Nebraska license must be
taken out If the car is to run for
more than one month within the
state. About half the states have
adopted the provision OF making re-
ciprocal laws, that is, giving the car
OF any stale as much time as its home
state gives to foreign cars. In this
way Nebraska tourists in states with
the reciprocal clause are forced To-
take out license if they are in such
a state for more than thirty DAYS.

CHANCE TO GET DAIRY STOCK
G. A. johnson Offers to Place Stock
and Purchaser Can Settle i'm Easy
Monthly PAYMENTS.


C.A.Johnson, residing near Frank
lin school, near Boise, has made ar
rangements with Boise capitalists
so that he is able to assist the Merid-
ian farmers who desire to secure
more cows. AS the fruit crop is a
failure there is tendency to go into
the dairy industry more extensively
and as Mr. Johnson is a reliable
farmer and stock man, his offer
should appeal to the farmers in this
vicinity.
He will place one or more cows on
your ranch, Of the Holstein or Dur
ham breeds, high grade and extra
good dairy stock, and you pay for
them on easy terms, so much a
month.
He has already placed lot of
stock in this vicinity and all are sat
isfied with the courteous treatment
and favorable terms.
Mr.. Johnson is one of the Boise
valleys veteran cattle men and says
there is good money in the dairy for
an industrious man, but he says it
is hard work and no lazy person
should go into the business.
Mr.. johnson was in Meridian this
week and says he will make can
yass of this vicinity. Those wishing
the choicest stock should not wait
for him to call but can phone 1667W
at Boise.

HAY SHOULD BRING GOOD PRICE

Boise, May 80.

Boise, May 80.
To the Hay Growers of Idaho;
Reports are reaching this office
that certain large sheep interests are
already beginning TO make contracts
with growers for the 1916 alfalfa
hay crop, at prices which show that
the sellers are ignorant of the real
value of their product. This state
ment is not made i'll criticism OF the
sheep men as they are not to he
blamed for buying as cheaply as
they can, just so long as they do not
Wilfully misrepresent market con-
ditions to the grower The farmer.
II placed in the same position, would
unhesitatingly drive an equally close
bargain. This department desires.
however, to assist the growers in Sc
curing more equitable price for
the hay this season than most of them
secured last year.
The thusands OF acres of alfalfa
land that was plowed up last year
and put in grain combined with the
great reduction in yield through
water shortage, resulted in a hay
market condition that sent prices in
the Pacific northwest last fall and
winter up to figures that caused
much regret to those growers who
foolishly contracted their tonnage
earlier in the seaso nat six, five and
even as low as four dollars per ton.
This office last season received or
ders for many hundreds OF tons of
alfalfa at $12 and $13 per ton on
board cars, much of which it was
found impossible to supply; and al
though we of course cannot at this
time predict what the market will be
the coming fall the indications are
all very favorable to the grower.
A survey of the field is at present
being made, and until this is COM
pleted, growers are urged to make
no contracts.

DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous, and the result is neural
gia, stiff neck, sore muscles, or some
times an attack of rheumatism. In
such cases apply Sloan's Liniment. 1t
stimulates circulation to the sore and
painful part. The blood flows freely
and in a short time the stiffness and
pain leaves. Those suffering from
neuralgia, or neuralgia headache will
find one or two applications of Sloans
Liniment will give grateful relief.
The agonizing pain gives way to a
tingling sensation of comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep is
possible. Good for neuritis too
