skirts of Nampa was totally destroyed
by fire. The Record gives the particu-
| lars as follows: "The home of An
drew Nelson beyond the roundhouse
and better known as the Colt place,
was totally destroyed by fire Thursday
afternoon. Only piano, bed room
suite and little clothing was saved.
The house was blaze when discover
ed by the neighbors. 1t apparently
started in the roof or garrett, as Mrs.
Nelson did not know it was on fire I'M
til neighbors called to warn her, she
being alone in the house. The flue
was good so there is no theory as to
how the fire started. The loss which
will amount to ever $4,000 is reported
to be partly covered by an insurance
policy of $500.
Once there was a man who had at
one and the same time a boil on his
neck, an aching tooth in his jaw, the
rheumatism in his left leg, new hat
on his head and the grip all over him.
While crawling miserably to the dem
lists to have his fang extracted
with the intent to go therefrom to a
surgeon to get the boil lanced, and af-
terward to an osteopath to have his
limb rubbed, and thence to a drug
store to purchase bottle of grip
remedy, he was struck by motor
car and thrown gallywinding. His
aching tooth was knocked out, his boil
was bursted, the rheumatic leg was
broken in two places and panied him
so that he forgot the rheumatism, his
new hat was torn to pieces, but thank
heaven his grip was not in the slight
est degree disturbed and is with him
yet.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
Five Amendments Will Be on Ballots
for Voters to Consider.

The voters of Idaho are asked tc
vote on five Constitutional Amend
ments at the coming election. The
first provides for the calling of con-
vention to revise and amend the State
Constitution. Vote against it.
The second is to permit counties,
towns and other municipalities to be-
come stockholders and give aid to
fair associations not organized for
pecuniary profit. Vote against it.
The fourth is to exempt stock-hold-
ers in cooperative associations from
cumulative voting in the election Of
directors and managers. The purpose
of it is to give to small stock holders
in incorporated cooperative sssocia-
lions the same power in the election
of directors as the ''big fellows" with
large blocks of stock. 1t makes the in
divldual stakeholder the unit rather
than the number of shares of stock
he controls. 1t is in the interest of
real cooperation. Vote for it.
The fifth proposed amendment is to
permit an increase in the bonded debt

MEASURING HAY IN THE STACK
Fowl Methods Adopted by Farm
Markets Department

As a result of investigation extend
ing over several years, the Unite
States Department of Agricultur
has worked out formulas for measur
ing hay in stacks which, it is believed
farmers may apply easily and witt
accurate results. This method is thu
one adopted by the several meetings
recently held by Farm Markets Di-
rector, Harvey Alfred, in southern
Idaho.
In order to make the formula cas-
lily remembered, the specialists who
have worked it out call it the "Fowl''
formula, F standing for fraction re-
presenting the face of the stack, 0
for the over, w for the width, and
L for the length.
Instead of having to measure the
height, always more or less difficult
matter. the farmer, when measuring
a stack by the "Fowl" formula, need
only ascertain the "over," the width
and the length, also noting the gen.
eral shape against the sky line from
end to end.
The lover" is found by merely
throwing a tape over the stack from
side to side and measuring from the
ground at the edge of the stack at
one side to the ground at the opposite
edge. The cubic contents of the stack
is the product of the over, the length,
the width. and a decimal Fraction,
which depends on the shape of the
stack when viewed from the end. This
fraction always lies between % for
low shapes that approach triangle
and 81 for shapes having high, full
sides and blunt points.
In making his estimates the farm
err should compare the end outline
of his stack with the figures Show
ing shape given in Cir. No. 81, US.
of Agriculture, using the
fraction accompanying the shape Of
the end of his rick.
From the formula it is known that :
the volume in cubic feet equals
or Fraction times Over times
Width times Length. That will give |
the number of cubic feet in the stack
Shrinkage makes a very marked
difference in the number OF cubic feet
required to make ton. The best
at hand indicates a yar-
ation of from 512 to Az, with 4s6 as
IN average.
Circular 81 will be secured by ap-
,lication to the various county Farm
Bureau offices, or by direct request to

Boy Who Had Spinal Meningitis
Makes Good Recovery At

The boys case attracted consider
able attention, as he was a victim of

which made it a remarkable one. The
lad was not afflicted with paralysis,
although every other symptom of the
disease developed. As soon as the case
was diagnosed as spinal meningitis,
treatment was begun and every pre-
caution taken. He was given at inter
walls four doses of anti-spinal menin-

DAYLIGHT SAVING
BIG STEP AHEAD.
But Think How Hard 1t Is Going
To Be To Get Up Whole
Hour Earlier.
THINK OF BENEFITS.
Shop Girls And Others Get Home
Earlier. Dad Can Work In
The Garden An Hour
Longer.

When President Wilson signs the
daylight saving bill, as it is believed
he will do within the next few days,
the United States will have Joined
Canada. France and several other ma
tions in adopting the only plan that
has ever been devised by man for
getting ahead of Father Time
The project, while producing only
an apparent advantage so far as
economizing time is concerned, it is
said, has produced splendid practical
results in the countries where il has
ben tried for several years, because
by readjusiing daily periods for work
during the spring and summer
months. a real gain is made in respect
to the number of hours available for
daylight pasttimes.
1t is proposd to put the bill, once
it has the Presidents signature, into
effect on Easter morning-neXt sun
day a week. This means that A
NJ. on that day the clocks of Annapo-
lis. simultaneously with those in
every other part of the country. will
be set ahead one hour and that they
will remain so minutes fast for the
ensuing six months.
William Jones, Henry Smith, George
Brown, ct ais, whose wives make
them go to church whether they want
10 or not, may feel that Congress
combined insult and injury by pick
ing out a Sunday TO start the day
light saving scheme because if there
10 do iG
lie abed as long as he pleases during
daylight on the first day of the week.
But now-oh, well, the sun rises
about 6.10 o'clock. but when the Gov
ernment pushes the clocks an hour
ahead the sun won't rise apparently
till 40 o'clock, though, OF course, the
sun will just be kidding. It's getting
up at the same time. The watches
merely will be camoufiaging the time
situation.
All along the line daylight saving
means increased efficiency in the i'm
provement of health, morals and So
cial welfare of the 20,000000 workers
of the country.
Working girls will go home by day
light.
Parents will have a new hour to
spend with their children.
Bills for gas and electric light will
be cut down and outdoor recreation
will be stimulated.
In this connection the possible in
creased gardening production through
daylight saving is worthy of serious
consideration.

SERMON TO LODGES
At NJ. {. Church.
"Fraternal Orders Night" OBJ
served By Large Congrega-
ton.
SPECIAL SERMON.
No Man Can Be Independent Of
His Fellow Man, Says DR..
Burgan In Sermon To
Fraternal Orders.

The various fraternal orders of the
city had requested the Rev. DR.. H. w.
Burgan, pastor of the First NJ. K.
Church, State Circle, to preach a spec
ial sermon TO them last evening at his
church The "Fraternal Orders Night
was inaugurated last year when DR..
Burgan preached TO the lodges of this
city. This year the lodges decided to
try it again with the result that prac-
tically every fraternal order was rep
resented in the congregation last
night at the First NJ. f. Church, in
cluding the Odd Fellows, the Knights
of Pythias, the Red Men, Eagles, Elks,
Mechanics and others.
The church was filled, every, seat
both in the main auditorium and gal
leries, being occupied.
The pastor, DR.. Burgan preached an
earnest forceful sermon based on ii
Samuel xvii 1929 DR.. Burgan pic
tured King David in distress, and only
saved from utter destruction by the
kindness q ends. He described the
many times during the rebellion OF
Absalom that friends came the res
cue of the old king From this the
minister drew two deductions. The
first that no man reaches a position
in this life where he is independent OF
his neighbors, and secondly, that al
ways men do come to the help of their
70 hn of
first principle, and the willingness to
fit into the the second, is based the or
ganization of all Fraternal Orders and
Lodges Men join brOtherhoods for mu-
tual helpfulness in times of need. The
pastor further showed that the mo-
tives back of the spirit of helpfulness
exercised toward King David and also
back to all helpful movements today
are three Belief in God, patriotism
and the instincts of common humanity.
These in turn, he stated, are the re-
suit of love in the universe. He set
forth the evidence that love prevailed,
and that love was the result of the
fore, what he creates is permeated
with love.
DR.. Burgan in conclusion, endeavor-
ed to emphasize the fact that the love
of God as expressed in churches,
lodges, and other uplift organizations
is but imperfect, and that the only
perfect expression of love is in Jesus
Christ. He urged the men to stand
lOvally bv each other in their lodge
work, commended them for what they
were doing, and then pointed toward
the time when lodge brothers must
fail, and that Christ was sufficient

judgment
