The Boise Capital News.

The Boise Capital News has the
only full leased wire day news report
published in the state. This gives it
the complete market reports, all the
war news with the expert comment
thereon and all the news of this coun-
try, as correspondents in every small
place, as well as all the regular news
centers contribute to this report. In
addition to this comprehensive SER
vice, special correspondents at Wash
ington and the larger cities of the
United States are always on the look
out for important news for the Capt.
tai News.
In reporting the happenings of Ida
no, special and regular correspondents
send all the important news from
their communities. The system that
has been established to secure the
State House news is proving very
practical. By its means every public
act of the officials of the State House
can be reported.
Arrangements have recently been
made by which the minutes of the
Land Board meetings will be publish
ed. Heretofore the complete publ
cation of these minutes has never ap-
peared. This Board does more bust
ness than any business house in Idaho
and every resident of the State is Wit
ally affected by their acts. 1t is for
,unate that the Capital News is able
% publish these reports,
The subscription price is only so

Salt in History.

In oiden times, when salt was not
so easily obtained as it is today. it
was regarded in some countries as q
luxury. This seems strange, does it
not? At one time the Chinese made
it into little cakes, stamped the image
of the emperor upon it, and used it as
money. In Arabia those who together
ate food which had been sailed, be-
leved that this established special
bond of friendship between them. This
led to the old saying: There is salt
between us"

There is n broad distinction between
character and reputation, for one may
be destroyed by SANDER, while the
other can never be harmed save by its
possessor. Reputation is in no mans
keeping. You and l cannot determine
what other men shall think and say
about us. We can only determine
what they ought to think of us and
say about us, and we can only do this
by acting squarely up to our own con-
victions.--Uolland.

About Spuds.

An Emmett grower in answer to ar
inquiry from an Fastener to "tell us
all about the potatoes" sent the fol
lowing reply:
at is short but interesting story
That little pile of pale-faced spuds
that dealer hoped to buy last fall
for $500, has swelled up until they
look like thousand dollar bank ac-
count. They are actually sprouting
nickels in their eyes and wearing dol
lar marks for spectacles, and as the
price continues to soar their faces
broaden and brighten into the like
ness of full moon in August.
Folks won't plant spuds in the
moon" this year; they are already
too high for that. They may go to
Jupiter or Neptune for spuds by next
fall and use the moon as a halfway
station for aeroplanes in transport
ing them. The price will not be made
in the moon, either, but in Wall
street or Europe or wherever it was
Phil Sheridan said about war. And
there1l be no full moon on the face
of the poor laboring man, either,
whose 4-year-old comes tripping from
the store with as many dollars worth
of spuds in paper sack as bent the
back of dad four years ago.
"And this growers sympathy goes
out to that consumer, for less than |
one grower in ten thousand is getting
more than 80 per cent of the consum-
,r's dollar, while a few pirates of
commerce revel in the ill-gotten spoils
of trade. Their wives and daughters

hands for laws that shall make i'm

PANAMA CANAL SECURE.
War Department Officials Feel No
Uneasiness in Present Crisis.

War Department officials feel no un.
easiness as to the security of the Pan
anna canal in the present crisis, de-
spite many published reports that the
big waterway is exposed to possible
German-inspired raiding parties in
tent upon destroying it. 1t was said
authoritatively at the department to-
day that the canal is regarded as the
most secure of the nations OUTLYING
possessions.
German propaganda in Central and
South American countries has led to
the publication of reports that parties
might be started out from those places
in attempts to dynamite the locks or
other working sections of the canal
Bombs dropped from airplanes' could
have little effect upon the massive
concrete and steel structures of the canal.
even If the aircraft escaped the guns Of
the garrison. No danger from that source
is feared.
With the completion of the present
coast defense works of the zone thew
practically will be impregnable to sea
attack, and the garrison cannot be emf
off from communication with American
fleets because OF the high-power radio
plant.
South and Central American conn.
tries, even in the improbable event that
they should join Germany against the
United States in the event of war arc
not equipped with either ships or Guns
to threaten the zone. High-power
weapons OF great range are the onIv
elements to be feared. it is asserted.

MANY BANK SITES CONSIDERED
Farm Loan Board Hopes to Locate
Baltimore Quarters Soon.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE. Nd, March 21.-Sites
for the location of the farm loan bank
to be established in Baltimore are under
consideration by the farm loan bank
board. which held another meeting yes
terday. Many sites have been ex-
amined and the selection may be made
within week.
Arrangements for the opening of the
bank headquarters and details of or
ganization in connection with the con-
duct of the bank operations were con-
sidered at yesterdays meeting George
H. Stevenson. president, presided. Presi-
dent Stevenson. with Vice President G.

lions for loans from all parts Of the
farm loan district of which Baltimore
is headquarters. These have not been
tabulated, but the aggregate amount
runs into large figures.
