Hogs--Compnred with the runs OF hogs

seen very moderate, thu total being 45,t66

Prices improved sharply again today. the

which were no more than 8 @l10c up.
when packers finally got down to busi-
ness and began filling their orders, they paid
l.ices that were 200 25c higher, and in most
cases the accent was on the quarter end
Of the quotation. Some sellers only quoted
IL % zoe advances but II was obvious that
they were figuring from tn. high end OF
yesterdays trade. and had gotten about
the hogs that sold on the early low spot.
When there were still as many as twenty
five cars left packers began refusing hogs
at their earlier bids. Shippers got back in
the market about this time to fill few
late orders. and this soon brought killer
buyers. who had visions Of pinching off
few nickeh on the last h,', to time,
late sales being fully as good as at any
time. Some Of the palmer light hogs were
neglected all morning.. but on the close
thsy found an outlet at the general advance

London is Prepared for
Short Loan Borrowing

Correspondents Of The Associated Press)
London, March 1s.-The $1,000
100000 loan Of 1917, if regarded as a
consolidated loan, wipes out the whole
of the outstanding floating debt and
gives the government a clean slate
start for the issue OF further short
dated borrowing which is expected to
appear soon. Commentators estimate
that including the conversion of ex-
chequer bonds and Of the AZ per cent

money obtained, the total capital of

New Observation
Balloon Is in Use
By French Army

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
Paris, March 25.-Among the latest
triumphs Of the French aerial service
is a new observation balloon, known
as lie Caquot. At the beginning Of the
war observers other than those in
aeroplanes utilized kite balloons Of
the German Drachen type, called by
the French soldiers, "sausages."
There are still some of these in use
at the front, but lie Caquot is much
preferred. In shape it resembles a
great tadpole.
Whereas the Drachen is inconven-
fenced by a wind of from fifty to fifty
five feet a second, lie Caquot can re-

GENERAL FOOD SHORTAGE.

War is upon us with general
food shortage, which is as serious a
proposition as our lack of traine q
forces. We can build battleships
and enlist men for action to protect
our nation, but the men must be
fed An army without food is worse
than without fighting equipment II
is now time to speed UP on food
production and you may do as much
good for your country as though you
went to the front. Both are absolute
ly essential; all of the patriots will
not be on the firing line. If you are
not in possession of the best seed
to plant and the proper equipment
for producing the best results, both
of the Banks at Payette stand ready
to assist all good reliable parties in
procuring the same. Every precau-
tion should be taken to plant moth
ing but the best seed and the ground
should be in the best OF condition
before planting in order to obtain
the best results, and every avail
able spot should be planted and made
to produce, and the producer should
have in mind the most staple pro-
ducts--beans, potatoes, onions, wheat
and such products as will be most
needed and can be stored without
perishing. The people of the cities
can assist in this important move
ment as well as the farmer. Every
vacant lot should be planted.
The bankers throughout the state
nf Utah, Idaho. Oregon. Wyoming
and Washington have been enlisted
in this great movement through the
American Bankers Association to in
crease the production of food stuff |
a. preparedness measure, and are
sending out thousands of letters to
Bankers of these states to initiate
the movement in their community
The Bankers have been enlisted in
this service because they are in a
position to know the conditions and
through the Bankers a tremendous
movement in these states mentioned
may be initiated simultaneously.
Prompt action on the part of the
people will mean that the 1917
crop returns will be greatly increased ;
because Of this campaign. We hope I
thas every citizen in this community '
will do his part

WHY ! FAVOR COUNTY DIVISION.

In the first place | am opposed tt
Capitalization of government. The
closer the government can be kept
closer the government can be kept
to the people the better. If the
theory OF those who are advocating
big counties in the interest of econ
omy wer" carried out to It's logical
conclusion all the counties Of the
state would be merged into one and
all the states merged into one, and
the power of government merged in
to one man and he would be the
Autocrat of all the Americas Who
wants that? And who, after all, will
contend that an Autocratic govern
ment is either a cheap one or
good one? We all rejoice that auto
cracy has been discarded in Russia,
and we bespeak for the Russian peo-
pie better things in the future than
they enjoyed in the past. We like
our form of government, fSde ration
of as nearly as possible independent
units. There are some general laws
that are very well adapted to all the
states OF the Union; but we would
not be satisfied to be entirely under
the same laws and customs as the
State Of Delaware. Our needs and /
conditions are different in many
ways. The same thing holds good in
the units Of state, the counties
The various localities of the state
have some common interests and
needs but they also have some spe-
cial needs, depending on local condi-
lions and so it is expedient to make
up county units. Now the needs and
interests of the Payette and Boise
Valleys are similar. but they are
not identical And so, as long as
there is sufficient territory, wealth
and population for county in each
valley it seems to me not only right
but necessary to make two COUNTS
in order TO curtail expenses and to
expedite efficient government.
