BOISE TO BE GIVEN
GENUINE CLEANING

Mayor Hays has designated April 16
TO 81 as cleanup week, and it is the
intention of the health department to
see that when the week is over Boise
will be, in-~'such condition as to go
| through the season with nothing to
worry her or cause fear of epidemic.
Already many citizens are busy put
ting their premises in shape.
This has been a very hard winter,
and 1t has been hard matter for
many who really desired to keep things
in good condition to do so. Clean up
week should have come earlier, but
the condition of the weather has been
such that 1t has been impossible to
undertake such work, as there are
many places yet too wet to admit of
successful work.
Plans are afoot now to have the
addresses of every job wagon in the
city on file in the health department,
so that when any citizen desires serv-
ice all they will need to do will be to
telephone to that office and a wagon
will be sent. Charges for them will be
nominal.
Queen Anne fronts and Mary Anne
backs are to be equalized by eliminat-
ing the latter.
The department hopes to have the
same support this year as that ac-
corded last year, when the ladies of
the various clubs of the city rendered
invaluable assistance.
Until such time as Boise shall adopt
some plan whereby the city will take
charge of the disposal of garbage and
refuse 1t will devolve upon the individ-
ual to take care of their grievous prop
usition. The health of her citizens de-
pend upon the degree of diligence, and
in this respect they have not Jagged.
This matter is now being looked in
to by the health department with the
view of determining what steps, II
any, might be taken to make Boise a
better place in which to live.

HAY SHORTAGE IN
IDAHO RELIEVED
DURING PAST week
State Farm Markets Bureau
Issues Warning to Alfalfa
Growers-Seed for the
Farmers.

The hay shortage situation in Idaho
has been greatly relieved within the
past week. Director of Farm Markets
B. Harvey Alfred stated Saturday that
No. Nebraska hay can be secured by
Idaho stockmen at s25 per ton and the
third crop of Nebraska alfalfa at from
$25 to s26 per ton. Lots of hay in
from 80 to rs tons, may be secured
from inside points in the state at $25
per ton f. o. b. AS near as the state
market director has been able to as
certain there is a more equitable dis
tribution of hay for stock and much
less suffering now than during the
past few weeks. In fact during the
past few days no requests for hay
have been received by the state farm
market bureau. The express COM
panies have made a rate of 80 cents
per hundredweight, five balls to each
individual. Wheat hay can be secured
now in considerable quantities.
The farm market bureau is prepared
to place stockgrowers in close touch
with hay they desire If they will notify
the bureau of their needs, Director ALL
red announces.
ALFALFA WINTER KILLED.
The director issued a warning to al
falfa growers to test their alfalfa field
for winter killed alfalfa. Reports have
been received by the bureau that many
alfalfa fields are winter killed and
will have to be reseeded. Growers can
easily ascertain if their field has been
damaged by examining the roots of
the alfalfa. If winter killed the roots
will be found rotted. In order that
there will be no difficulty in obtaining
seed for reseeding of these fields, the
bureau has made arrangements to put
growers in touch with all the seed they
need, and inquiry should be made to
the department for It.
Farmers who desire help on their
places can secure men by notifying the
bureau. Director Alfred states that
If farmers can use both a husband
and wife on their places they will
greatly simplify the troubles of the de-
partment and give many people work
by making this fact known. Farm
hands seeking employment should al
so notify the department, which will
endeavor to place them.

RESOLUTIONS GIVE
PROMISE OF SUPPORT
TO THE PRESIDENT

Weiser held a patriotic demonstrl-
ton during the week and pledged it's
support to the president and congress
in the present national crisis. Copies
OF the resolutions adopted have been
forwarded to Governor Alexander.
They are as follows:
Called together in solemn conclaVe,
in harmony with the spirit of patrio-
tic proclamation issued by Hon. Moses
Alexander, governor of our state, to
consider carefully and prayerfully the
crisis we as a nation are facing, it is
mete and proper that we give ex-
preston to the patriotic sentiments
permeating this nSnentious assembly.
Recognizing fully the awfulness of
war; the probable sacrifice of human
life and the great financial burdens
such course may heap upon our be-
loved nation, but firmly convinced that
no self respecting people can longer
tolerate the indignities we have suffer-
ed at the hands of the ruthless and
tyrannical military arm of the Ger
man government, therefore be Il
Resolved, That the time has come
to let the world know that, while
Americans are long suffering and
peace loving. we are not a nation of
towards or mollycoddles and that we
are not afraid to draw the sword in
defense of human liberty, national
dignity and international honor. The
path of duty lies before US and we
stand ready to follow it, under the
guidance of Almighty God, to that
victory we believe awaits the cham
pions of the cause of humanity.
Resolved, That we believe the ma
tional government has exerted every
possible influence consistent with
honor, to avoid conflict and that our
president, Woodrow Wilson, has only
faced the central European powers in |
a belligerent attitude when all peace
full efforts to maintain our rights have |
met with contempt, treachery and in
tolerance, therefore be it further
Resolved, That we, the citizens of
Weiser and Washington county here
assembled, regardless of former ma
tionality, solemnly pledge our united
and answering support to President |
Wilson an dto congress in this great |
crisis. And to the end that autocracy
shall give way to democracy; Injustice
to Justice; dishonor to honor and will
full wrong to external right we follow
the example of our nations early pa
triots and lay upon our countrys altar
"our lives, our fortunes and our sacred |
honor"

tiations for the Building
of Prune Drier at Merid-

TO HAVE CAPACITY OF
FIVE THOUSAND TONS

Gro ers Against Car
Shortage, Labor Shortage
and Bad Weather-Pack-
ing Plant at Emmett.

The Boise valley is to have one of

by F. V. Martin, northwest manager of
the Earl Fruit company, that he had
closed negotiations for the site of the
new plant at Meridian and it would be
built by the Earl Fruit company and
w. S. McBirney this year and be
ready to handle the fruit crop in the
fall.
When completed the plant will rep
resent an investment of 100000. A
force of 60 persons will be necessary
to run it during the drying season,
while 1000 tons of coal will be used.
1t will take 1S5 tons of green prunes to
fill all of the trays when the plant is
running to full capacity. No less than
10000 yards of wire cloth, will be nee
essary to make these trays. The drier
will take care of 5000 tons of green
prunes.
A BOON TO GROWERS.
The company will operate the plant
under the name of the Southern Idaho
Dried Fruit company. The dimen-
sions of the plant are 70X100 feet. A
large packing house 1O0x100 feet, cost
ing $7100 will be erected by the COM
pany at Emmett. The best of trans
portation loading facilities have been
secured for both the drier and the
packing house for both are located
alongside of railroads.
The big drier will give protection to
prune growers against car shortage,
labor shortage and bad weather. If
there is a serious shortage in cars to
move the green prune crop the grow
ers will not stand to face a failure
for the prunes that cannot be shipped
can be dried at a good margin to the
grower. If the labor shortage is seri-
Gus as the prospects even now indi-
cate and the green prunes cannot be
packed, they can be hauled to the
drier. II had weather interferes, the
same action can be taken. A big prune
crop is anticipated in this section of
the state this fall, owing to the al
most complete failure in the crop last
year a thing it was thought was i'm
possible.
The new plant, 1t is believed, will fill
long felt want and be of great bene-
fit to the growers in many way.

tee believes. by every housekeeper:
Meat substitutes may be used, such
as eggs, cheese, milk, peas, beans and
nuts
Do not buy meat until You have
bought one pint of milk day for each
member of your family.
A dozen eggs are worth as much in
the dietary as two pounds of meat.
Waste in meat, the committee points
out. may occur In leaving the trim
mings at the market. in throwing away
fats that could be used IN frying. short
ening or soap making: In throwing

What a Little Seed Did.

In the city of Hanover, in Germany,
Is an old. neglected graveyard. Near
the entrance is tomb In which lie
the remains of lady who belonged to
the old nobility and who was buried
there about the middle of the last CEN
fury. The tomb Is covered with mas
sive blocks of stone On one OF these
stones. besides the name OF the lady
and the date of her DEATH there are
these words: This grave, bought for
all my time, must never be opened"
But there are mlghtier forces than
heavy stones and iron clamps. a lit
tie seed found lodging In the crevice
between two of the stones. 1t took
root and grew until now there is an
immense birch tree waving its grace
full limbs over the tomb. Ats roots
went through the grave, and the trunk
lifted the great stones and broke the
iron clamps. and the little seed had
opened the grave. for its power was
greater than the stone and the iron.

Of the United States. BY comparing
other countries and seas with those
that are familiar to us on the map a
much clearer notion of them is OBJ
