The boys and girls clubs Of Idaho
reported production Of food stuffs to
the amount Of $11.ss4 In 1915. Defin-
lite figures concerning this years work
for the state are not yet available, but
single towns, as for example, Twin
Falls, report production equal to nearly
one half Of the state total for 1916. For
next year the boys and girls work of
production and conservation will be
under more closely organized manage
meht SO that we may confidentially ex-
pect results double that of this year.
They will have the opportunity, in
many counties. to work under leader
who is retained especially in proper
methods Of carrying on such work.
During the past two months, Miss 2.
Fay Fowler, assistant state club lead
er, has devoted her time to the mat
ter of getting a number of Idaho coun-
ties to cooperate with the university
extension division and the United
States department OF agriculture In
hiring county leaders to supervise and
assist the boys and girls of such
counties in their production and con-
servation activities.
ELEVEN COUNTIES SIGNED UP.
AS a result, eleven Idaho counties
have already guaranteed the funds ne
ces sary to secure cooperation with
the extension division, and the United
States department of agriculture.
These counties are Canyon, Twin Falls,
Gopding, Power, Franklin, Bingham,
Jefferson, Madison, Lewis. Neg Perce
and Latah. Two other counties-Ada
and Boundary-have the matter under
adyisement, but only one of these two

SMALL FARMS IN CHINA.
In America They Would BE Called
Good Sized Gardens.

United States Consular Report: IL Is
incorrect to speak OF the Chinese as
farmers In the strict sense OF the word
for they are gardners rather than
farmers. A so-called Chinese farm Is
no larger than what In America would
be called a good.siZed garden. and the
methods OF cultivation are of the most
intensive sort
Generally speaking, II seems that the
greater the prosperity OF the nj iSicnl
tural family the larger the number OF
children: hence I'm turn the greater the
number OF months to feed. In addition
PROSPEROUS conditions always bring
with them greater expenses, incident TO
family festivities. such as weddings
which stand out as all important con-
slderations in the lives OF the Chinese
In Monchuri the conditions are
somewhat different. for there are vast
stretches of land open to cultivation
on much larger scale than In CHINA
proper. These tracts are generally
worked by hired farmers, who come IN
hundreds of thousands from the more
densely populated section of China TO
spend the short farming season In
northern portions. returning again
when the cold weather makes further
labor in the fields impossible.

Institute for Red
Cross in Valley City
Valley City, N. D., Dec. II.

r. Valley City, N. d., Dec. II.
Dear Mrs: There will be a Red
Cross Institute held in Valley city

will be given in the cutting and max
ing of hospital garments, methods OF
finishing, etc. There will be classes
in surgical dressings, and talks and
missionaries upon all lines of Red
Cross work in which you are inter-
ested. Our purpose in having it at
this time is that representatives from
the various branches may all meet
together and receive uniform instruc-
ton. Then at the beginning of the
new year, all branches will be work
ing along definite lines and all un-
der the same instructions. 1t is our
earnest desire that every branch in
Barnes county will CO operate with
the chapter by sending as least one
delegate to this institute. Let us
make this first county inst!tite so sue
cessful that it will prove profitable to
ali who attend and perhaps lead to
other meetings of the same nature.
The meetings will all be held in the
room occupied by the chapter head
quarters in the basement of the new
post office building. Morning sesr
stems will begin promptly at $50 and
afternoon sessions at 1870. The fol-
lowing program will be carried out as
nearly as practicable:

All sessions will be very informal

meetings a success and we feel that
the work all over the county will be
much more efficient because of this
opportunity of getting together. Bring
notebook and pencil, so as to carry
home all suggestions which you find
worth while.

has been discovered, but the details
and the question Of whether the Unit

after special meeting of the naval

MERCHANT CREWS ARE
NOT HELD PRISONERS

Washington, Feb 13.-There are
two classes of German ships in Ameri.
can ports.
Those interned are war vessels, such
as the commerce raiders Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, Kronprinz Wilhelm and
such naval vessels as the gunboats
Cormorant at Guam and Geier at Hon.
olulu.
The crews of these vessels, as we'll
as the ships, being part of the German
naval forces which have taken refuge
in neutral harbors, are interned as
prisoners for the duration of the war
under provisions of international law
and The Hague conventions.
The status of the warbound German
merchantmen is different. and so is
the status Of their crews.
The merchant ships are not informed
in any sense of the word but are re-.
naming in harhor of refuge. They
are free to put to sea at any time and
take their chances with the enemy
warships.
Their crews are in the same status
as any other aliens coming to the
United States. Any one of them may
be admitted to the country on fulfill
ing the immigration requirements.
