There is an urgent necessity for

state of Idaho, and the present weights

so as to prohibit the use of any spring
scale in this state, J. X. White, pure
food inspector, in communication to
Governor Alexander, SO states. He also
points out the necessity o. merchant

forcement OF this act. no work has been
done in the inspection of Weights and

There is almost an urgent necessity
for a weights and measures inspector
in this state and | would recommend
an appropriation be made to carry on
this work. The fact that all of our

Il would also recommend that our

any spring scale in this state, as in
my judgment they are unreliable. In
this connection I would call your at

Supervisor Grandjean has just sub
nitted his annual game report to the
district forester and it will, upon APP
prevail of the district forester, be sub
mitted to the state game warden.
The forest rangers on the Boise for
est have made an approximate census
of the game animals on this forest aud
report 300 deer, 5000 goats, $50 elk and
five mountain sheep within its bound
aries. The report also shows that big
game is increasing gradually. Espe-
cially is this true Of the game on the
state game preserve on the south fork
of Payette river.
LICENSES FOR WOMEN.
Among the recommendations made
by Mr. Grandjean is that women, as
well as men, be required to purchase
hunting licenses before killing wild
game. Considerable trouble has al
ways been experienced, he says, by the
fact that only men are required to
purchase hunting licenses thereby
making it possible for hunting parties
accompanied by women to exceed the
bag limit by stating that the women
had caught or killed portions of the
game and fish found in their posses
sion.
Mr.. Grandjean believes since the
women of the state Of Idaho are en-
titled to vote that they should also be
required to procure hunting and fish
ing licenses and thereby increase the
fund for the protection of he fish ana
game.

forest officers closed season on all

state that some drastic action must
especially be taken for the protection

a Strange Christmas HELPER

presents are all finished! And in
plenty of time too, for l don't have
to take them around till Christmas!
Don't you think they are pretty"
Mother stopped her own work to
say heartily, Indeed they are. Sue!
I'm proud that my little girl could
make such pretty things all BY her
self. Everything is just as nice as

Sue smiled appreciatively and then
fingered her parcels again. Such fun

she decided thoughtfully. There was
the crock OF freesias that she had
grown for grandma-those she had
started long ago. And the glass OF
grape marmalade for Aunt Nell-she
had picked the grapes and made the
Jam under mothers careful direction.
Then there were baskets of shelled
nuts; quaint little stockings filled
with popcorn balls; and dainty lit
tie scrapbook for a sick cousin
everything was made by her own
hands, that was the jolly part No
wonder Sue felt proud and happy as
she looked them all over. In their
gay wrappings they seemed very at
tractive and Christmas-y-no doubt
of that!
But how are you going to deliver
them all?" asked mother suddenly
you won't have much time for run
ming back and forth Christmas. And
1t will take three or four trips from
home to carry all that load"
Sue looked at her mother doubt
fully. Yes, there was much to do
Christmas. You know yourself how
busy everybody always Is just be-
fore Christmas! Sue had promised
to help string the popcorn for the
tree; to help brother Ned with the
birds tree and she did want to crumb
up the bread for the turkey dressing
that was such fun.

SHOULD GIVE SALE SLIPS.

TO illustrate the necessity for ac
curacy in scales ! quote the follow
ing from my report for 1915:
When we consider the accur-
acy Of scales from an economical
business standpoint it is startling
to see how much money can be
stolen from the consumers by Civ
ing short weight, or how much
the dealer loses by giving long
weight. For instance, take one of
our many meat markets and say.
for comparison, that he makes
1900 sales over his scales in one
week. The average of all these
weighings will run one pound or
16 ounces. II his scales are mac
curate and weigh one ounce short

counter. Is sixteen (18) cents per
pound. the 100 pounds taken from
customers through faulty scales
amounts to s1s in one week and in
81 weeks, or one year, amounts
to eight hundred and thirty-two

of scale Is ten years and IL this
