CRIPPLED IDAHO BOY, WOUNDED IN BATTLE
IN FRANCE, NOT WORRYING OVER THE FUTURE

Milton e. Blair, Hagerman youth,
crippled in the world war, is not wor-
rying about his future. He already is
receiving a pension of $11.50 per month
and soon intends going to school, TAX
ing advantage of the offer made by
the government to educate those who
were crippled or injured in the ser
vice. Mr.. Blair will take up automobile
mechanics, will receive soldiers pay of
$23 per month while in school, get S65
per month for maintenance and CON
sequently he says the future looks
bright.
Milton was among the first $50, 600
troops to cross the Atlantic to fight
for humanity and Old Glory. He was
not long in getting to the front but it
was not until Sept. u, 1918 that his
left arm and ankle were broken by a
high explosive shell at st. Mihiel after
three months fighting with but little
rest.
Milton operated a Stollen motor gun
used in wiping out machine gun nests
and destroying barbed wire entange-

ments. He enlisted and served with
the first division during the war.
After being wounded he was put out
of the fight for good and in December
returned to the United States but has
been out of the hospital but a short
time.
The United States can well be proud
Of the record made by its boys, he
states They had just one fault and
that was going ahead too fast, he said.
Along a front, he states, the advance
would be so rapid in some places. that
occasionally American soldiers would
be killed or wounded by those whose
advancement was not so rapid. Milton
was with the troops which stormed the
hill the Germans said could not be
taken, just before the fan of st.
Mihiel.
For the past several days he has
been visiting his uncle, L. l.. Abbott,
near Meridian, but has now left for
Hagerman to remain at home until he
takes up his school work

ONLY TAXPAYERS
CAN VOTE BONDS
Property Owners in Boise to
Determine Fate of $135, 900
Issue for Capitol Approaches
Must Register.

The necessity of registering in order
to vote on the $4,000 bond election
May 10, is made clear in the Black
law under which the city is operating
Only property owners can vote on this
issue, the success or failure of which
means, either the building of the wings
TO the state capitol or that they will
not be built.
The bonds are for the purchase of
property adjoining the capitol build
ing in order to improve the approach.
The law passed by the legislature pro-
viding for the expenditure of $500, 900
to building the wings, is made condi-
tional upon Boise buying the property
occupied by the Collister flats and the
Serman house, that the front of the
capitol may be made more easily Access
sable and shown off to better advan-
tage.
The city clerk announces that resi-
dents of any precinct may register at
the city hall or with the register of
their respective precincts. The election
comes on Saturday and owing to this
fact the last day on which to register
will be on Saturday, May s.
Thus far less than 1000 taxpayers
of Boise have registered and it is
urged that all who desire to vote, reg
lister as early as possible.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
make POSTERS FOR
HUMANE EXHIBIT
Prizes Awarded to Students in
the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth Grades-Cole ction
at Carnegie Library.

Considerable interest is shown in the
collection of posters for Humane
Week now on exhibition in the
chfldren's room of the Carnegie Ii
brary. These posters were made by the
pupils in the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades of the public schools, and
the limitations are decided because
they were restricted to the use of cut
paper for the executing of designs.
The posters are remarkable in many
instances, not only for the dexterity
and neatness with which the design
is carried out, but for the elaborate
ness and color values. There is indica-
ton of decided artistic talent
The judges, Miss Miller of the high
school, Miss Cornelia Hart of ST. Mar
Garets, and Miss Marie Irwin, were not
only delighted with the workmanship
but were also much pleased that the
pupils had so thoroughly entered into
the spirit of the season which the
posters were intended. 1t was a most
difficult task to make the awards so
many were the posters worthy of re-
cognition
The pupils to whom the prizes were
awarded are:

8-HOur Day Means
Trolley Fare Raise,
Experts Declare

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The
electric railway industry is facing an
other upward leap of labor costs,
which will make existing rates cen
tirely inadequate in most instances"
the Federal Electric Railway Commits
sion was told to-day by Dr. Thomas
Conway, jr., Of the University Of
Pennsylvania.
THE electric railways are face to
face with world wide demand for an
eight-hour day. DR.. Conway said
"The granting Of this demand would
mean a very material increase in
operating costs"
w. E. Creed, Of San Francisco, this
frst witness from the Pacific Coast
declared that because of high operat-
cisco district had lost interest in COM
petition.
Eve are losing money on every pas
eenger we carry" he said, land the
fewer passengers we carry the less
money we will lose"
"What can this commission do?" he
was asked.
well, since you have no rate fix
ing authority, I think the best thing
is TO tell the truth to the public and
educate it to the real situation in the
electric railway industry"
John H. Pardee, president of the
American Electric Railway Associe-
ton, presented statement on behalf
of the smaller lines. declaring they
were suffering from the same condi-
tions as the larger ones. Samuel In
sull, of Chicago, sent letter declaring
the situation there was so serious be-
cause of additional demands by labor
that he could not personally appear
before the commission.
A concrete plan of relief was offered
by Harlow c. Clark, of New York, edi-
tor Of street railway mems maya
zine. Included in his recommenda-
tions were immediate temporary re-
lief by increased fares, subject to re-
vision later, and adoption of a plan
for the permanent conduct of the stree.
railway business under state or munic-
ipal regulation.
Tonight the commission adjourned Z
to August a, when it will hear the
testimony of Secretary Baker and
others. A short recess then will be
taken to August II, when the testi
mony Of mayors and other officers Of
leading cities will be heard.

No Sugar Shortage,
ays Zabriskie Of
Equalization Board
Housewife Should Not Pay
More Than ii Cents, and
Some Stores Are Selling at
Less Than 10 Gents Pound

Stories Of a serious sugar shortage
in the United States are chiefly the
result of profteers' propaganda, George
A. Zabriskie, president of the Sugar
Equalization Board, said yesterday.
Consumers should not pay more than
eleven cents a pound for sugar, he said.
He added that several chain stores are
selling sugar at less than ten cents q
pound.
"Sugar is abundant,' Mr. zabriskie
said, "and if it were not for profiteers
and nervous housewives encouraged to
hoard it., there would be enough for
every legitimate demand and a thirty
days reserve supply"
The apparent shortage, he pointed
out, was created by the scramble OF the
big fruit Gamers and confectionery
factories for supplies, a yearly occur
renee. They held out until the eleventh
hour, he said, because they expected a
sharp decline in price. They knew
they were safe, because the Sugar
Equalization Board had fixed the maxi
mum price to refners at nine cents a
pound.
According to Mr. Zabriskie, the can
merry and confectionery men failed to
consider the limitations of the re-
tineries here. The capacity of the
twenty-five retineries is approximately
AS00,0 tons a year. while the corr
sumption is 4,25000O tons The slight
difference between supply and demand,
he said, makes it necessary for the re-
fineries to work continuously, piling up
reserves during March and April, when
the demand is lighter, for June, July,
August and September, when the dc
mand is al its height. The present
difficulty lies, he said, in the limit d
capacity Of the refneries, as raw sugar
is plentiful.
Il know the reiners are doing Their
part he said, "for their plants have
been operated night and day, and some
on Sundays, FOR months. In those
parts Of the country where local short
ages exist there is an inclination t.
protitccr The refner cannot sell sugar
for more than nine cents pound. The
wholesaler is obligated to a maximum
profit of 35 cents a hundred pounds, SO
that the retailer does not pay mole
than $685. hundred"
The demand for sugar this year is
25O,000 tons above normal, Mr.. Zabris
kie said hut this is counterbalanc !
by the fact that the sugar beet crop
will be 100 900 tons greater than las.
year.

National Weekly and Other
Publications Turned Over
to Concern That Pub
fishes Other Magazines
Follows Death Of Owner
No Change To Be Made IN
Name Or Personnel Head
ed by Finley Peter Dunne

"Collier's Weekly" changed hands
yesterday, when a contract giving the
direction and control of the magazine
to the Crowell Publishing Company
was signed. All other books and othe.
publications issued by P. F. Collier &
Son, Inc, are also to be controlled by
the Crowell Company.
George D. Buckley, president Of the
Crowell Publishing Company. made the
following statement last night an
nouncing the transaction:
"a contract has been signed under
the terms of which Golfers Weekly
will henceforward be published under
direction and control of the Crowell
Publishing Company, publishers of the
Woman's Home Companion, the
"American Magazine and Farm and
Fireside. This is of more than ordi-
nary interest in the advertising and
publishing business inasmuch as it
adds one of the best known national
weeklies to the list of monthly maga-
zines already owned and published by
the Crowell Publishing Company"
No Changes in Personnel
No changes in the personnel of "Col-
hers Weekly" are contemplated at pres
ent, Mr., Buckley said, and the publica-
ton offices will rcmain at 416' West
Thirteenth Street. Finley Peter Dunno
is the editor Of the weekly.
"'Collier's' has q circulation of H.
OQ0o0o,' continued Mr.. Buckley. cts
editorial policy will remain indepen-
dent and the name Golfers and
The National Weekly will be con-
tinued"
Peter F. Collier established q maga-
zine called "The Once a Week" in 1887.
When MS son, Robert J. Collier. be-
came editor Of the magazine in 1888
the name was changed to "ColNer's
Weekly
The elder Collier died in April, 1906,
and Robert j. Collier became head of
the firm. Although Peter +. Collier
was chiefly self-educated and "self-
made in business, he gave his son
the advantages Of course at George
town University and of a year each
at Harvard and Oxford.
Figured in Investigations
"Collier's' figured prominently in
the Investigation regarding the nomi-
nation of Louis D. Brandeis to the
Supreme Court in 1916 and in the
Ballinger investigation
Robert ]. Collier died in 1918 ard
left a will in which he named Payne
Whitney, Finley Peter Dunno and
Francis 7. Garvan as residuary leg
atees and exec~tors They filed re-
nunciatlons of their designation as
lcgatees and executors, creating a
precedent by relinquishing all rights
TO share in the Collier millions. The
effect of this move was to leave Mrs.
Robert J. Collier, widow of the tes-
tator, in the same position she would
have been had she been named as
legatee of the whole estate, except
$200,000. Part of the residuary estate
consisted of "Collier's Weekly" and
the publishing business.
