the participation in the framing of the
organic law of our state to be sub

SERGEANT CURED BY
HIS CAPTAINS TALK

m er an Field Headquarters,
France, Aug. q (By maid The ser
geant had been drinking. 1t is against
the regulations, and especially against
the spirit of the new American army
for a soldier-and a sergeant, of all
sodiers-to get drunk.
SO when the sergeant awakened he
knew he faced a storm, But the morn
ing routine in camp passed as usual.
There wasn't a word of reproof. If
the captain knew, he wasn't letting on.
At noontime the captain hurried
through his lunch and walked over to
where HIS boys were sitting eating.
The sergeant knew the worst was
about to happen without word 10
the non-com the captain called on all
men of more than one years expert
ence to withdraw 200 yards. Il want
to have a little talk with the re-
cruits," he said.
"A non commissioned officer, who
knows better, came In drunk last night.
He has been in the army for long
time. I've always told you to observe
the older men and follow their eX-
ample, but you've got to use your mans
sense In the army. You're all getting
more money than you reasonably need
over here. ! cant dictate what you
are going to do with it. But I hope
you'll not go and blot up a lot OF
drinks. Every day | get letters from
your mothers and sisters and the girl
who is waiting for you back in the
L. S. A., asking me to see that yon
don't go wrong in the army. I'm bound
in honor to reply to all those letters
and tell the truth-abount drunken
ness, for example"
Since that talk the company hasn't
had even a mild case of Jingle" The
sergeant is still sergeant. When he
walked up to the captain the night af-
ter his fall to ask for another chance,
the captain merely held up his hand
and said: Not q word. sergeant"
The captain says the sergeant will
never drink again.

which he is unsurpassed. Music for

HANDSOME REVENUE
FROM DAIRY FARM

Nampa, Sept 15.-The milk pail is
putting the country tributary to this
city on the map Of the Pacific north
west as not only "A section where
money cirCulates freely among the
farmers who are always enabled to
pay cash for their supplies, but also
as one of the best dairying sections in
the entire United States section
where a greater number of cattle can
be kept to the acre and for a longer
period of time during the year than in
any other section known to the dairy
world,
Indicative of this is the fact that
George Mayse, prominent dairyman
residing on his farm of IS % acres
near this city, maintains SO head of
stock on his small farm and feeds
this number from the crops grown on
it, Twenty acres of this farm are in
alfalfa, 10 2-3 In corn, and five in
dairy yards and garden. He has one
pit silo of Cotton capacity, and is
constructing another of an 80-ton ca
pacity. From the corn grown on his
farm he fills the silos. His cream
check from 10 cows the past month
amounted to the handsome sum of
$3.50, and he estimates that it will not
decrease in the future months. He
now has % Jersey and Holstein milch
cows, with 20 young calves. The hd-
ditional stock includes one pure bred
Holstein bull and seven head of horses
and a good number of chickens.
The progress of the dnirying indus
try in this section the past few years
has been phenomenal and what is true
of Mr.. Mayse's success is applicable to
that attained by many farmers in the
surrounding country.

Nicaragua Asks Why
$4,000, 900 Due From
u. S. is not Yet Paid

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, Feb.
5.-There was spirited debate in
posed public credit commission @ Of
two Americans and one Nicaraguan
which would have the disposal Of the
$S,000.000 due Nicaragua from the
United States on account Of the canal
treaty concessions. The finance minis
ter was called before the chamber OF
deputies and asked why the money
had not been paid, inasmuch as Mica
ragua had complied with the treaty
and whether interest is being paid on
the amount due. He replied that the
money was still in the United States
treasury and was not drawing inter
est. One of the deputies proposed de.
nunciation Of the treaty on the ground
that the United States had not fulfill.
ed its obligations under 1t.
The minister Of war asked why
Americai soldiers are in Nicaragua al
a time when there appears to be nc
prospect Of disturbance of the peace
