so great that the dishes must be
washed before all the late ones are
served. This often occurs when Ice
cream and beef stew are served.
One OF the days cooking girls goes

Dear Sir: We have kitchen in
our school where wholesome lunches
areSserved every day TO those who
want them.
The girls of the seventh and eighth
grades help daily, except on Fridays,
when the sixth grade helps The girls
goin three divisions, the first division
girls from the seventh grade go from
9:45 to 1890 and prepare the lunch.
The second division girls from the
eighth grade do what the first did not
finish and help to serve The third
division. from the lower grades, takes
the dishes in and cleans up the
kitchen.
The serving is the most active part.
Those who order regularly and those
who do not are served In dl1fefenI
places. The pupils form in line and
are served in turn. Each has ticket,
so that everyone who has ordered will
have it. Five cents is charged for
every dish. The regular ones buy
tickets at the office and give these
instead of the money. The latter
march up the stairs into the kitchen,
where they are served. The former
walk around the veranda to the sec.
ond window, where they give the
money and tickets and get their
lunches at the third Each brings his
dish and piles it on the table just
outside the door when he has finished
Chairs Are Needed
I think it would be very nice
thing il the legislature would apprO
pirate money for more chairs, because
the boys and girls sit on the railing
to eat their lunches, which is uncom.

NO LABOR SHORTAGE
IN ADA COUNTY.

There is practically no labor
shortage in Ada county, O.P .Hender-
shot, secretary of the committee sell
ected to assist the farmers to acquire
seed and farm machinery announces
This impression is erroneous he says
Farmers who desire help. whether a
man or man and wife. and who will
pay what is now the going wage of
$50 per month. can secure all the
help they want through the secre-
tary
I'VE have two farm tractors ready
for use in this county, he says. The
men on the tractors will run two
shifts. The capacity of the tractors
is 48 acres of land day. 1t will be
impossible to take contracts for less
than 80 acres. Those who desire
their lands plowed will have to make
special contracts with the operators.
Those desiring them should notify
me. The tractors will be placed thru
this Office. Later a number of other
tractors will become available for
use in the county They are privately
owned"
The farmers in this county are
not behind in their seeding. 1t is the
season that Is behind. Those farm
ers who are able to take care of their
own seeds should not burden the
committee. A great deal of good
work is being done by the commit
tee in taking care of the farmer who
is not able at this time to secure his
seed and machinery. Many of the
dry farmers are working with their
teams away from home in order to
support themselves ana we are trying
to arrange to have them do their
own farm work.
There is more seed in the county
than was at first anticipated. We
are having 1t listed and supplying all
demands as they come in. Those who
desire seed or who are in need of
farm machinery to put in their crops
should not fail to fill out the appli-
cation blank and send it to me. 1t
will be given attention.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF
DRAFT BILL is PASSED

Here is what will happen when the
draft bill, reported to the senate. be-
comes law:
1.-The president will designate
by proclamation a day of registra-
tion, the voting precinct being used
as the smallest unit for enrolment
The governors of the various states
will be asked to have the sheriffs
of the counties appoint registrars
to take the names of all males be-
tween the ages OF 10 and 25.
Those who refuse to enroll will be
arrested
2-The state officers will ex-
empt from military service per
sons engaged in industries. includ7
ing agricultural, found to be nec-
essary to the maintenance of the
military establishment or the eff
fective operation of the military
forces. or the maintenance of ma
tional interests during the emer-
gency."
3-Those not exempted will be
reported to the war department
which will make further exemptions.
4-It is estimated that by Aug.
ust the 100000 men desired will
be in training camps. In the mean
time the government must provide
equipment for the recruits.
Sit is estimated that the regis
tration will result in an enrolment
of 100000. and about 40 per cent
of this number will be weeded out
on account of physical disabilities.
The 100000 to be selected from
the remaining 60 per cent will be
chosen by lot.

BORAH WILL NOT
BE CANDIDATE AGAIN.

The surprise of the week is the an
nouncement of Senator Borah, and
there are various guesses as to the
reason for the step. One report is
that he will move to New York City
and practice law, another is that he
is physically weary of the stress and
exactions of public life and feels that
rest is absolutely necessary in or
der to keep his health. Another re-
port, suggests that he will be the re-
publican nominee for the presidency
four years from now; and that locat-
ing in the east would make him geo
graphically eligable.
AS to who will be the republican
candidate for the senate to succeed
him is question, but 1t appears to
be generally understood that Ex-Gov-
ernor James H. Hawley will be the
democratic candidate.
Senator Borah's letter is as follows:
1t has for some time been my de-
sire and it is now my purpose to quit
official life at the close of my term.
March A, 1919 Having come to this
conclusion, feel it should, for mani
fest reasons, be made known in
public way to the people Of my state.
I" | am deeply grateful to the peo-
pie of my state for the honors they
have conferred upon me and can
never fully repay the debt of graft
tude | owe them. From the hour 1
reached Idaho, inexperienced and
without means and acquaintances
people of the state have. treated me
with kindness and with generosity
for which no words of mine can ad-
equately express my appreciation.
Confidence which they have re-
posed in me and warm personal
friendship they have manifested, so
often regardless of party. must bind
me to them in bonds of affection for

deeply interested in the welfare and
happiness of the people OF my state
and in the growth and prestige of
Idaho, which am very proud. in
the future as have been in the past.
Whatever may transpire. nothing can
diminish my sense of gratitude.
Official life is not indispensable
to service of the people and | have
no intention of terminating my serv-
ice with the termination of my of
flee. / am not going to discuss my
reasons for retirement. These reasons
will better appear and be better un-
derstood as my plans and purposes

thought of ceasing to be interested in
those matters which concern the well
fare and interest of my own state
and her splendid people.
