Establish Office at Boise

Recognizing the Importance of
giving to the citizens of Idaho
better service IN the matter of pay
ment of Federal Government taxes,
the bureau of Internal Revenue, at
the urgent insistence of Senator
John Nugent, has established at
Boise, the state capital, an office
of Collector of Internal Revenue.
Taxpayers of income tax, as we'll
as those paying tax on admissions,
dues, transportation, telephone and
telegram messages, soft drinks,
jewelry, luxury ard all other forms
of Government tax, should in the
future file their returns with the
Collector of Internal Revenue at
Boise.
In the past the taxpayers of the
state have sent their returns to the.
Collectors Office at Helena, Mon
tana. The district of Idaho has
been created out of the old Montana
district by the Internal Revenue
Bureau and taxpayers of the state
will no longer report to the Mon
tana district.
1t is important that PAYERS of
Internal Revenue taxes take notice
of this fact. Besides having the
central office at Boise, the Bureau
has made arrangements to establish
service stations at other principal
cities in the state. This will be a
great convenience to the taxpayers.
Competent officials will be IN
charge of these service stations,
prepared to advise taxpayers how
to prepare their returns. This SER
vice to the taxpayers will be free
of cost and will be given cheerfully
during business hours. While the
service stations will not be in oper-
alton for a short time due to the
great amount of work necessary in
the establishment of the central
Office at Boise, taxpayers should
forward their returns to the central
office at Boise, addressed to the
Collector Of Internal Revenue.
Prompt attention will be given
to all correspondence IN the Office
Taxpayers will be advised through
this paper when these service
stations are opened. 1t is hoped by
the Department that the public
will avail itself of this convenience

Will Buy Idaho Seed Wheat

A carload of Idaho seed wheat
will be purchased next spring by
the farm bureau members of Kit
titas county, Washington, who
want to profit by the fact that
Idaho seed is certified by law.
Dicklow is the variety of wheat de-
cided upon. Farmers in the Kit
titas valley are becoming ccnvinc-
ed, says County Agent w. l.. Davis,
that big yields can be obtained only
through the planting of pure wheat.
The county agent told the farmers
that the state seed analyst of Idaho
reported yield of 81 bushels to the
acre on measured 16 acres, in the
Twin Falls district, under con-
ditlons similar to those prevailing
in the Klttitas valley.

sum Of $S3 on the ridge, which is
included in Hendricks quota.
Latah county's quota IN this drive

Turn Clocks Back Oct. 26

Washington, Oct. 13.- General
uncertainty as to when the clocks
of the nation may be turned back
and daylight saving abolished seems
to have resulted from the recent
action of congress in repeating the
daylight saving act. In answer to
numerous inquiries officials have
pointed out that the clocks may not
be turned back until the last Sun
day of October, or October 26, at
a. m.

Specialize

In every community it seems
there are individuals who can do
some one thing better than anyone
else. 1t indicates in small way
that specializing pays. For in
stance, Ben Callison is the most
successful poultryman in the COM
munity because he has specialized
along that line. He gets the best
prices for his stock of anyone.
j. C. Hamll is also the most sue
cesful poultryman in the COM
munlty, but along different lines.
He doesn't go in for fancy stock as
does Mr.. Callison, but he special
ICES on egg production and it is safe
to say he gets more eggs according
to the size of his flock than anyone
else in this locality. Nearly every
farmer has some one thing on the
farm in which he takes more inter
est than any other department of
his farm and it is always noticeable
that IN this one speciality he is more
successful than in any other. 1t is
simply case of becoming an expert
along one line, land by having wide
knowledge along this line the
chances for success are much great
er than a general knowledge along
different lines.

Death of DR.. c.. w. II. Smith
Veteran Minister of The Gospel Called to His Reward
After Forty-three Years of Service

years ago he moved to South Bend,
WASH, and after seven years came
to Kendrick where he spent nearly
five years, working always with the
one idea in mind of building up
his church and the community in
which he lived.
During his forty-three years as
minister of the gospel he made the
notable record of either building a
new church or lremodeling the old
in all Of his pastorates.
DR.. Smith leaves a wife, two
daughters, Mrs. Hans Flo of Salt
Lake, and Mrs. A. W. Patton of
Denver, two grandchildren, his
mother who is now eighty-nine
years old, two brothers and one
sister. A son, Karl, and little
daughter, Irene preceded him in
death.

IN MEMORlAM
An hour ago the wires flashed the
sad announcement, "Dr. Smith is
dead" We can hardly realize that
our bosom friend and, ,classmate has
entered into Life Eternal. 1t is
but year and a half ago since last
we saw him and at that time he
was full of life and joy and hope,
looking forward with almost boy
ish anticipation to the completion
of the last details of his church
edifice and of his home. The
poignancy of the grief and the over,
whelming sense of personal loss
that grips us. tell US that the de-
lightful comradeship and highly
priced friendship here on earth are
ended, yet what precious memories
are ours.
About the year 1872 "Smithy" as
he was familiarly called, was wei

young men, the writer being one
of them. For four short years W.

mained to the end.
On the 18th day of June 1876 W

While the condition of DR.. Smith
was considered very serious during
the greater part of last week, never
theless the announcement OF his
death Sunday morning came as a
distinct shock to the community.
A little less than three weeks be-
fore his death he was in splendid
health and it is hard to realize that
a fall of less than four feet caused
injuries that brought death so soon.
During the first week of his illness
his injuries were not believed to be
serious, but as he gradually became
weaker his physicians held out
little hope for his recovery. At
two O'Clock Sunday morning he
peacefully went to sleep as death
came to relieve his sufferings.
Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church Tuesday morn
ing, the body lying in state from
nine O'Clock until eleven. The
funeral> was very impressively con-

Asotln and Rev. H. A. Vickor of
Charleston who is the state clerk of
this Presbytery. Vocal music was
beautifully rendered by Mrs. Joday

McCrea at the piano. After the
church service the Odd Fellows
| Lodge took charge OF the ceremony
and held a short service. The casket
was then carried to the train and
the body shipped back to DR..
Smiths boyhood home where the
Masonic Lodge will have charge OF
the burial.
The bank of lovely flowers com
pletely covered the casket and was 8
loving tribute and token of the
esteem in which DR.. Smith was
held within the large circle ir
which his influence for good ha:
been strongly felt.
DR.. Smith was born May 80, 1850
at Polk, Ohio, where he spent hi
early boyhood. He entered college
at Oberlin and from there went tC
OHIO Wesleyan. He then began hi
theological work at Heidelberg
Seminary, ,Tiffin. OHIO, from which
school he graduated in 1876 and wa
ordained in that year. He had th'
pleasure of attending a reunion O
he alumni of Heidelberg this sum
mer, where he met three of his olt
classmates.
September 20, 1876 he was mar
rled to Miss Lura Berry, who ha
been a loving, helpful companion t
him in the arduous duties whicl
I. his calling required of him.
) His first pastorate was at Xenla

years. He then spent eleven year
at Lancaster, Ohio, and from ther

sonal letter was received from him
A visit from the genial Doctor toll
lowed. He preached to the people
of Kendrick. A call to the pastor
ate was quickly rendered and as
promptly accepted and in this field
he closed his labors. For half
dozen years he labored with hand
and brain IN the upbuilding Of his
church until the Master called him
to that higher life, into that House
not made with hands.
We had known that DR.. Smith
was not entirely we'll, however no
one could think that death would
come SO quickly. But now the man
ly form is laid low yet the recol-
lection of the hearty greeting, the
contagious smile, the warm hand
clasp, the generous hospitality, the
alI-prevailing genuine good feel
ing, come back to us as priceless
heritage. We firmly believe he is
not dead but still lives in that
higher Life.
On account of its many sidedness
it is hard to estimate the real value
of this splendid life. Of him 1t can
truly be said that he gave his SER
vice to his church without ostenta-
tion or display He worked and in
duced others to work. He lived
nobly as man and minister of the
Gospel. His loss creates well de-
fined blank IN the home he graced,
in the church he loved, in the city
where he spent the last of busy
life. He leaves his people the in
spiration and example of one loyal
in friendship, fearless in duty, and
of service paving the way to that
abode where all is Light.

The Country Sunday School.

If the Sunday School has been al
lowed to die down, there should be
no furthur delay in reorsanizing it..
In our concern for the mental de-
velopment of our children, we should
not forget the need for moral train
ing also. In the writer's neighbor-
hood a boy who was to have grad
uated at the high school last month
a bright boy in his ,books-spent the
commencement period in Jail, having
entered store at night and killed it's
owner only a few weeks before.
Proper moral training had not ac-
companied his mental training.
Every father or mother should ask
himself or herself if the Sunday
School is not needed to supplement
the training given in the home and
public school. And if a boy learned
nothing useful in Sunday School, it
might still be worth while for him to
60 simply because the Sunday School
offers an opportunity for him to meet
other boys. and girls in the right en-
vironment and under wholesome in
fuences. The average boy who has
nothing to do from sun up to SUM-
down every Sunday is pretty likely
to get into mischief.
The moral and spiritual benefits of
the country Sunday School, therefore
should alone insure efforts to utilize
and strengthen it, while the social
and intellectual advantages which it
offers may also be not improperly
considered. The Bible is one of the
worlds supreme pieces of literature,
and to study it Sunday after Sunday
will contribute not a little to any
body's mental growth and equipment.

Several interesting facts appear in this brief item
In the first place. the thus compelled to donate $125
