Presidents FLAG.

1t Is usual in other countries to have
a special ensign to designate the pres
ence on a vessel of the ruler of the
nation. President Arthur suggested
such flag In the United States in the
early part of 1882, and, as his cabinet
concurred in the suggestion, decided
on the design of blue ground with
the arms of the United States in the
center. The navy department ordered
that this flag should be displayed at
the mainmast of any vessel that bore
the president. Arthur first used it In
1888.

of cattle totaled 1000, including car
load lots with fewer tail end steers
than usual and a heavier per cent of
fairly good cattle. The run of stock
ers and feeders was smaller and of
better quality than the corresponding
| type of stock last week There were.
1850 hogs and only $50 sheep offered.
The conditions at the opening of the
market were generally slow with an
inclination on the part of buyers to
continue the decline which set in last
week. There was a brisk demand for
really good beef steers, and the best
offered were taken readily at 10c.
The highest load sale was $3.50 or 35c
lower than the best carload sale of
the previous week. The general in
dications are for 25c cut in price of
good beef steers. Common to medium
steers are in less demand and are suf-
fering depreciation of soc from last
weeks open market. Cows and heif-
ers are going at SOC lower than the
opening of last week as there is a
good supply of commons with only a
few loads of really good cows.
Quotations for today are as fol-
lows: Receipts 1912; tone of market
slow, 25c to SOC lower; best beef
steers $3.50 to $40; good beef steers
$3.50 to 80; best beef cows $3.50 to
$3.50; ordinary to good cows SIS to Sc;
best heifers $3.50 to SIPS; calves SO
to $3.50; stocker and feeder steers
Sc to 81; stocker and feeder cows SIS
to Sc.
The hold over on hogs got shock
when the market opened this week
with heavy supply and Csc to 40c
decrease in prices offered from the
close of last weeks market. Com
pared with the opening of last week
prices have suffered a little decline,
being quoted as follows for this week
opening and topping at $1565. Re
ceipts 1922; tone of market steady at
slow 25c lower; light hogs $15.25 to
$1565; heavy hogs SLABS to $14.65;
pigs $3.50 to $14.
Sheep :.
The decline in the sheep market
was very slight, amounting to prob
ably 25c on lambs and as much on
wethers with no further cuts on ewes
The top for lambs was S12, but the
grade offered was not standard for
quotations. The market for the open
ing quoted as follows: Receipts 1879;
tone of market steady to 25c lower;
lambs SLIPS to s12.75; yearling weth-
ers SO to $3.50; ewes $3.50 to ~.

portant amendments which, in my
opinion, make very attractive in
ducements for all banks in the Unit
ed States to become members.
Time to Act Now.
During the past two years | have
urged the banks under the supervi-
sion of this department to get their
affairs in such shape that they could
readily go in when the proper time
came. That time is here now. The
exigency created by war now makes
it the imperative, patriotic duty of
every bank and trust company to join
in with the other member banks and
make one solid compact banking sys-
tenn. Every dollar of gold should be
promptly deposited in the Federal
Reserve banks Of each district where
it will be ready and available for is
suance of federal reserve notes. There
is today $725,000 in gold coin and
100000 in gold certificates held in
the vaults of the state banks of Idaho
which should be on deposit with the
Federal Reserve banks of San Fran
cisco. The reasons why you should
join the system and the inducements
that are now offered you to join are
too numerous for me to mention in
detail in this letter The two out
standing ones are: PATRIOTISM
AND GOOD BUSINESS.
Sit down and give this your careful
and undivided attention and write
this department asking any questions
you feel like and we will be very glad
to assist you in any way we can in
helping you to become member of
the federal reserve system WITH
OUT FURTHER DELAY. Let us
make Idaho the banner state for
state bank members. You do not have
to surrender your state charter, but
join and be state bank member.
IN SHORT, LET US GET IN THE
BAND WAGON AND DO 1T VOL

PATRIOTIC DUTY TO
JOIN IN THE SYSTEM
Proposed to Make Idaho the Banner
State for State Bank Members of
the Federal Reserve System-Can
Keep State Charters.

The time has arrived when the 1874
banks operating as state banking in
situations, in Idaho, should join the
federal reserve system. That is the
opinion of State Bank Commissioner
G. r. Hit, who believes that one of
the most important periods in the
banking history of Idaho has arrived
when changes of paramount import
ance to state banks will take place. In
fact, he views it as the turning point
for the better for all banks that come
under his jurisdiction.
The $725,000 in gold coin and $780,
600 in gold certificates held now by
the state banks should be on deposit
in the Federal Reserve bank at San
Francisco, which would combine pa
triotism with good business, in the
opinion of the commissioner
Letter to Banks.
With a view of urging all of the
state banks to join the federal re-
serve and to obtain the opinion of the
bankers as to taking this step, Com
missioner Hit Wednesday addressed
an open letter to them. This letter
is as follows:

tains of their windown and disclose
the display they have prepared in a
friendly contest of skill at window
decorating.
The commercial club has announced
the selection of the following judges:
w. j. Young, Hal G. Blue and R. A.
Reed.
1t should be borne in mind by those
merchants who have entered to date
as well as by those who contemplate
entering that windows will be judged
on a basis giving the small store an
equal chance with the large store.
The selling qualities of each window,
as well as artistic arrangement will
be taken into consideration in deter
mining the winners. This places the
merchant with limited space on an
equal footing with the merchant with
several windows and greater oppor-
tunities for elaborate display.
The list of entries is so representa-
tive of the best stores of the city that
the contest is bound to result in a
splendid array of windows through
out the business section.
This is the first contest Of its kind
ever held in this city, and it will give
the buying public an opportunity to
view the wares of our local merchants
displayed to the best advantage.

GERMANS DESPERATE
THEIR LETTERS SHOW
Domestic Crisis Said to BE Cause of
German Defiance to The United
States.

(By William Philip Simms, United
Press Staff Correspondent
With the British Armies in the
Field, April 3O-Germany's evident in
tention Of trying for short, sharp,
decisive struggle" as chronicled by
neutral observers in Berlin, is daily
making itself visible in black and
white out here. He is an extract
from a captured letter, dealing with
recruiting:
There is a general clearance now:
everyone who can move his legs is
passed fit for service in the field.
Everybody is now being called up.
Even those who at first were declar-
ed quite unfit have all been taken"
The reason for this levee en- masse
seems to be indicated in the follow
ing letters, also taken from captured
Germans: "ALTONA,-want is now
only beginning, the hunt for coal and
the shortage of food. Every day, tur-
nips, not even cabbage. A serious
epidemic of virulent smallpox has
broken out in Hamburg, but has not

SOLE SWISS SEAPORT
DOES GREAT BUSINESS
Only Port Which Germany Does Not
Try to Stop With Submarines
Where Ships Are Neutral.

PARIS, April 2S.-The Swiss port
of Cette is today doing landoffice
business.
Cette is the first Swiss port in his
tory. When on February 1, Germany
ordered it's submarine blockade of
England, Italy and France, Germany
selected the little French Mediterran-
can town of Cette to be alone acces-
sible to neutral ships bent on work
of revictuallment for the Swiss.
The Swiss send three trains each
day to Cette to collect the necessities
of life piled there by neutral ships,
principally Spanish. The municipal
authorities of Cette, the Council and
Chamber of Commerce, have, as yet
taken no official cognizance of the
unique position of their port. But
M. Laurent, mayor, things as express
ed privately, that the Germans were
not only desirous of helping the Swiss
by leaving Cette open to neutral ship
ping. He said: "As fas as it con-
Germs us it is necessary to render to
the Bosches this Justice; that they
have a system of espionage well
organized and that they know when a
neutral boat leaves any port and OF
its cargo and destination"
While Cette is now doing heavy
port business by virtue of the Swiss
imports this state of affairs cannot
last, M. Prats, president of the CettC
Chamber of Commerce, believes

doubtless responsible for the rnsh of

M. Prats continued:
"The Spanish ship captains, who
feel themselves spied upon here are
showing an inclination to stop their
voyages in our direction. There are
many risks And they are surely
spied upon by German agents"
Considering strictly from the Swiss
point of view, the German note placed
Switzerland in a singularly embar-
RAISING position. The port of Cette is,
in effect, totally insufficient to as
sure Switzerland her means of Re
victuallment Since the war, the port
has doubled its capacity. Today it
handles more than million tons of
goods over what it did in peace times.
But it is not even now sufficient to
provide the necessities for man and
beast of our neighbor country"
"Even if Cette could provide the
barest needs of foodstuffs for the
Swiss, M. Prats concluded, it could
not begin to help the needs of Swiss
industries. Briefly, it is considered
here that the German submarine zonC

nor finished laundry, while in a town
with several wet wash laundries or
wet wash departments in laundries,
the competition would likely be keen.
3. Building and its Location. The
building in which the laundry is to
be located should be suited to the De-
culiar needs of a laundry. It's location
should be determined not SO rluch
with relation to the residence or bust
ness section of the town as is the
case with other branches of the laun-
dry business, but it may be located
largely with relation to convenience
of collection and delivery Of work,
and low rental and land costs.
.. The layout and equipment of the
plant. The plant should be laid out
and the machines installed in such a
manner that the work may be passed
progressively from one operation to
another, from the time of its recent
until it is ready for delivery. BY
thus planning the layout of the plant
much time and money may be saved
in operation expenses. The best
equipment possible should be secured,
and further expansion should be kept
in view in it's purchase.
8. The problems of operating. The
major operating problems outside of
those of a mechanical nature are found
in the processes requiring a practical
experience with or theoretical knowl-
edge of chemicals and chemical COM
pounds and their effect upon various
fabrics. A man with ordinary intel
ligence should be able to master these
problems, and can get plenty of advice
and assistance from the manufacturer
and dealer in laundry supplies.
