STATE MONEY TO LOAN

BOISE, .Idaho.-The department
of public investment, which has
taken over the investment and col
lection duties formerly held by the
state land board and register of that
body, states that on the first day
of April there was deposited to what
might be called the credit of the
loan and investment accounts about
100000. which the, department is
anxious to get invested in mortgage
loans, on improved farm lands and
such school bonds as are permissibly
loaned on.
During the last two months of
last year and in January, 1919,
loaning on farm lands was almost
wholly discontinued. In February
and March a number of loans were
made aggregating something like
100000. Applications for loans to
the amount of possibly $4,000 to
$4,000 are now in process of ap-
praisement. and school bond offer
ings will be made this month of
possibly 100000.
Regarding farm loans the policy
of the department whenever money
is at hand will be to make speedy
apr raisement and determination, so
that those who ask for loans will
not be subjected to wearisome de-
lay.

Mrs. John D. Kent,
Dear folks:
Just few lines once more to let
YOU know | am we'll tho there ism t
much news to write; it is just the
same very near every day.
The French has started to do their
farming, so | guess it is spring, but
it still has to rain about five days
out of every seven. That is the way
It has been all winter.
Well, We are booked for the U. s.
in May, and l think l will reach
home by the first of June, and that
will be one happy day for me, for l
have had all Of France l want-that
is to be soldier over here.
1t has been now three weeks since
! received a letter. 1t is worse to
get mail now than 1t was when the
war was going on.
BY the time you receive this letter
| suppose everybody will be farming
and very busy.
| will close for this time, hoping
these few lines will find all we'll at
home, as am feeling fine. Write
as often as you have time.
Your son and brother,

ARMY AIRCRAFT TO
FIGHT FOREST FIRES

OGDEN.-Army airplanes and
captive balloons will cover portions
of the national forests of California
Arizona, New Mexico and other
states this summer, to aid in detect
ing and suppressing forest fires. In
compliance with an order from Sec
rotary Baker directing the air SER
vice to cooperate with the forest
service in this work, conferences are
under way to determine where and
to what extent the air scouts will
supplement the forest rangers.
One of the interesting possibilities
to be tested is bombing fires to put
them out. 1t is believed that bombs
charged with suitable chemicals can
be used with good results.

When men begin to think about

traordinary instance is given:

Chlna's Peanut Industry.

Before the war the peanut industry
Of China had reached its highest point
in its relation to the foreign export
trade. The annual exports then were
about 10000 tons Of shelled peanuts
and about $4,000 tons Of oil. More than
40 per cent Of these amounts went
from the port Of Tsingtau, as Shan.
tung has become the largest peanut
producing province Of China.

WOOL PRICES REACH
HIGH WATER MARK

According to R. F. Bicknell, a
wool-grower and an expert student
of the market, now is fine time to
get rid Of the wool crop. He states
that prices are better than condi-
tions in the east warrant, and points
to the fact that As cent and 48 cent
wool is higher than government
prices.

Impossible to Accommodate All


These repetitions of ingratitude
resulted in the telephone company
disseminating the service such as has
been mentioned above. The con-
tinued answering calls asking what
time it was, but the work became so
heavy during the war that the regu-
lar calls had to be neglected to
answer these. These calls kept in
creasing until they had about 1000
each day. 1t was necessary to make
an addition to the switch board and
put on an extra operator or quit
furnishing THAT service, so they dis
continued it. 1t was difficult to get
help and it was almost out of the
question to get the materials needed
for the addition to the switch board.
The Operator Called the Police
Arrangements existed for calling
a police officer thru the telephone
office and the operator pressed a
button that turned on red light on
a high pole situated on the railroad
right-of-way. The officer seeing the
red light called central and found
out who wanted his services.
Notified Fire Company
The volunteer fire department
made arrangements to have list of
the members in the telephone office
and when the alarm Of fire was given
the operator called the members of
the fire company as quickly as pos
sible. At the same time that she
was attending to this a hundred of
two hundred receivers would come
down and hundred or two hundred
voices would begin to Glamour for
information as to where the fire was.
If she kept on calling the members
of the fire company, the others be-
came impatient and there were com
plants about not getting the de
sired service. If the operator an
swered these calls she could not
call the fire company. When so
many receivers came down at once
she could not serve them in their
turn and then there would be COM
plants because they were not served
as expected: The telephone COM
pany discontinued this service and
no longer tried to answer inquiries
as to where the fire was.

Obliging School Children

Another source of annoyance to
the telephone company was the
pupils who were likely to be late for
school. They would call for the time
between $50 and o'clock and be-
tween 1890 and o'clock. At few
minutes before school time the calls
came thick and fast, mostly from
children's voices, asking for the time.
After school had taken up the calls
dropped off and the operators had
time to answer the business calls.
II the company put on enough op-
orators to handle the business
calls and all the calls of the
housekeepers who are placing their
morning orders by telephone, and all
the calls of the children who wanted
to know how much time they had to
get to school, it took an additional
force until school time and then a
smaller force could handle the work
very nicely after that.
Similar to Alarm Clock
1t seemed as if the custom was de-
veloping to where the telephone ex-
changes had to act as an alarm clock
to get good many people out of
bed and lot of children off to
school. This interfered very ser
iously to the service due to those who
bought the service for transacting
business.
Depot Second Victim
When the telephone company
ceased to answer such calls they were
turned upon the depot. and hundreds
of calls each day interferred with
the work of the operators and with
so many Interruptions they were I'm
abel to take care of the dispatches
and keep track Of the trains. They
had to neglect their railroad duties
or quit serving the public as an
alarm clock, so they adopted the
practice Of hanging up their receiv-
ers every time they got an inquiry as
to what time of day it was.
Annoys jewelers. Now
When the railroad company dis
continued to tell people what time
it was, whenever they asked, the peo-
pie began to call the jewellers, and
they get scores Of calls of that kind.
1t is great annoyance to them and
interrupts their business seriously,
but they cannot afford to refuse the
service, because their success de-
ponds upon their keeping the good
will of the public. The only way
they can do it carry the load which
the telephone company and railroad
company do not feel able to carry or
both act together and hang up their
receivers when they get such calls.

Divorces Granted

| Andy R. Fletcher was granted a
separation from Grace e. Fletcher in

his busy day.
Judge to See Wing Dam
The case of the Aberdeen-S Spring
field canal company versus the Peo-
pies Canal company occupied the
court room. most of Saturday. The
defendant claimed that the contem-
plated dam, which was worrying the
plaintiff ct al, was not q wing dam
at all, but low even one that would
not change the course of the river
current, nor in any way interfere
with the operations of the aforesaid
Aberdeen-Springfield Canal company.
And so Judge Cowen decided to take
trip up the river and see the dam
(thing) before deciding the con-
troversy.

separation from Esther Keesler.
