SCOT SINGERS TO
BE NEXT LYCEUM
COURSE OFFERING

On Friday night of next week the
Rob Roy quartette will give the
fourth concert number of the lyceum
course at the Standard theatre un-
der the auspices of the high school.
Probably no country in Europe is
richer than Scotland in popular
minstrelsy. From the remotest time
the chief entertainment of the people
thru the long winter nights of the
north was listening to the lays of
war, friendship, humor and love.
There is a fragrance like the heather
to the songs of Scotland. Their sly
humor, their Tilt, their tunefulness
make them unique in the music of
the world.
The central idea of the Rob Roy
Quartet is to present the romance
and the music of Scotland in song
and story In addition to the en-
semble, each member of this company
is soloist. They also appear in
the dress of Scotland.
A few Scottish songs have partly
lost their charm. They have been
sung SO often. In preparing the
music for this program, whole port
folios of song and their traditional
airs brought direct from Scotland
were examined, with the result of
the recovery of a number of charm
ing ballads practically unknown to
the present-day song-loving people.
This does not mean, however, that
none of the more familiar songs
will be sung Several of the old
favorites will be heard on the pro-
gram.
Victor F. Henry, who heads the
quartette, is not only an excellent
bass singer widely known on Chau-
tauqua circuits, but he is also
clever cartoonist and his work of
several of the songs as
they are sung, adds vastly to the
entertainment.
Harvey B. Dunn, the second tenor,
is at home in impersonation and ma
gic and furnishes a number of at
tractive new features to the even
ing's entertainment. The entire pro-
gram is said to be the best number
of the course and should not be
passed up by anyone who enjoys a
good musical entertainment.

With more than 100000 to be

$4,000 of the total of the amount is

$1,000. The taxes this year amount

FARMERS FIX PAY
OF SEASONS HELP
State Organization Agrees
on Prices to be Paid Labor
of Various Kinds During
Season of 1918.

w. j Love was at Gooding last
| week, as representative from this
county at meeting of the state
farm bureau, which met with repre-
sentatives of the state defense coun-
ell and the director OF the state farm
markets bureau and after canvassing
the matter fixed the following wage
scale for farm help during the season
of 1918:
1t is the earnest recommendation
of the state farm bureau that harvest
hands or extra help employed by the
day should not be paid more than 30
cents an hour or So for a day of ten
hours with board, and that a maxi
mum of Is cents an hour be paid such
hands for every hour above that,
with. the understanding that time
will be taken out for delays caused
by storms or acts of providence 1t
is further recommended that one dol
lar additional be paid such hands who
board themselves.
1t was the unanimous recommen-
datoin that the state farm bureau
that for general farm work, where
hands are employed by the month,
$50 a month with board, be the max
imum wage to be paid during 1913.
1t was provided, furthermore, that
married men who board themselves
be paid $50 a month, with suitable
housing.
For men specially engaged as ex-
pert irrigators, it was recommended
that these be paid not to exceed SIS
month and board.
Growers of potatoes are urged not
to pay more than cents sack of
100 pounds for picking potatoes said
price to include board Where pick
ers board themselves it is recon-
mended that not more than cents
a sack of 120 pounds be paid
Committees have been appointed
to consider the wage scale for ma
chine and engine men and for pick
ing fruit and harvesting sugar beets.
Their recommendation will be con-
sidered later by the state farm bu-
reau.
1t was the sense of this meeting
that every effort be directed to the
continual engagement of all timer
ant and idle labor throughout the
year that the enveryone be urged to
develop public sentiment to that ef-
feet 1t was furthermore recon-
mended that the movement to close
the pool halls at least during the
thine when labor was scarcest, be in
dorsed.

county in southrn Idaho was repre-
sented at this meeting
