GIRLS! Be QUIET
NAVY HIS ENOUGH
YE0W0MEN HERE

There are plenty Of would-be yeo-
manettes in Pensacola, who are con-
stantly requesting enlistment from
either the army or navy recruiting
stations, but must be refused.
Yeomanry is distinctly a naval oc-
cupation, but that makes no differ
ence to the gentler sex, for some
would just as soon be yeomanettes in
the army, at least they continually
apply to the army officer here for
enlistment
Also many women and young girls
apply for service in the Red Cross,
at the army or navy, some demand
ing that they be<immedately sent to
France. But neither Red Cross
nurses, or. yeomanettes are being en-
listed, but if the men showed the
same desire to serve, the troubles Of
the army and navy would be ended.

CHANCE IN METHOD.
Of COLLECTING TAX
IN CITY IS ORDERED

In line with a resolution which was
passed at a special meeting of the
board of city commissioners, which
took place at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, city tax collections will be
received hereafter at the office of the
city clerk instead Of the collectors
office hereafter. The comptroller will
still~ render statements when asked,
but all collections, as stated, will be
handled through the clerk.
This gives the advantage of one
man handling the cash for the city
for the clerk is also city treasurer,
and all license fees are payable to
that office, and a receipt from the
clerk is all the comptroler's office
has to go by in the issue of license
taxes.

the
Apple Crop

The harvest OF the apple crop is
the biggest" thing in the history OF
Meridian While hundreds Of teams
come to Meridian hauling wagons
filled with apples, OF all varieties
and sizes, the railroad is bringing in
perhaps an equal amount.
Agent o. j. Morton, OF the o. s.
L., says hundred cars of apples are
coming in from various parts OF
southern Idaho and each day this
Week dozen cars were sidetracked
and the apples unloaded either to
the McBirney-Earl or the Idaho
Products Co. plant.
This activity will continue until
freezing weather, when the local crop
will have been garnered The frost
has already given warning of colder
weather to come, and this is the
cause of the haste in hauling to mar
ket as fast as the facilities will per-
nit. A shortage of boxes and farm
help means that part of the crop viii
go unpicked. u
The evaporators in Meridian is
the biggest boost the town has re-
ceived in it's history. They will not
only provide pay roll for from so
to 200 persons for from six to nine
months of the year, but provide a
way for the Boise valley orchardist
to dispose of the "culls' from an or
chard, fruit that would otherwise go
to waste.
Both the dryers start this week on
dried apple contracts. the prunes be-
ing disposed OF for the season. While
it is not given out from the manage
ment, it is understood these dried
apple "chops" are to fill war or
der, and as mentioned in the Times
last week, 1000 tons of apples will
be used on this big order and 500
tons of dried apple chops" Will be
the net yield. The chops" go to a
firm in the east to be converted into
jelly.
1t is expected that the driers will
work on this apple order for so days
at least.
