TRAVELLING MAN PRAISES
SALVATION ARMY WORK
AND TELLS EXPERIENCES

A travelling man was standing down
at the railroad passenger station a
few days ago when a boy boarded a
train for a distant city where he had
a position awaiting him. Il wonder" !"
said the travelling man. "if that boy or
his parents realize the hard road that
he is going to have to travel the
temptations that he will meet with and
the hard fight that he is going to have
to put up to overcome them? And
] wonder If they know that in case he
finds some of those temptations too
much for him and falls by the way
side who 1t is that will stand by him
when all others have turned away? II
win be the Salvation Army whose slog
an is: A man may be down but he is
never out"
The Salvation Army Home Service
Fund, May 1926 will give the people of
this town and county an opportunity to
help the Salvation Army in its work.

fairies and when for the closing
chorus, Spring is a lady" they

MUST HAVE MORE
STORAGE RESERVOIRS.

Mr.. Tallman, speaking of the short
age of water, in recent report to
the water users association, said:
Though this season had an unus-
ual short water run off, yet approx
mately 100000 acre feet of flood
waters went down the Boise river
on account of no storage facilities be-
ing available except Arrowrock to
take care of it, and Arrowrock being
filled to it's capacity, could impound
no more water and the surplus OF
flood waters necessarily ran to waste
down the Boise river. If adequate
storage facilities had been provided
by all parties interested in the water
supply of the Boise river, this
drought could have been avoided en-
tirely."
THE above emphasizes the fact
that further storage must be pro-
vided an the upper Boise river be-
fore any additional acreage is put
under irrigation from the Boise river
drainage area"

BOND ISSUE WILL NOT
INCREASE YOUR TAXES

The present bonded Indebtedness
Of Ada county is $429,893.40. The
annual interest on this is s19.500. 90.
The interest on the proposed million
dollar bond issue would be about
$50,000.00, and this added to the
interest now paid would be $69,5oo.
The receipts for auto licenses for
the first half of 1919 was $64,380.25
or almost enough to pay the interest
on the present and proposed bond is
sues for an entire year. But in 1920
it Is expected that $95,000 win he
received from auto licenses.
Vote for the bond issue as no inter-
est will need be raised by direct tax

RETURNED SOLDIER BOYS
ARE HONORED.

A reception in honor of the Merid-
ian boys who recently returned from
service was given Monday night at
the Christian church. A feature OF
the evening was brief talks by the
boys of their experiences overseas,
each of them telling of some differ
ent branch of their work. Following
this, Verne Caldwell played the diff
ferent bugle calls, while Harold Dow
ney explained each of them and their
meaning. After this, those present
took turns asking the men questions
about something concerning the ar
my life.
During the evening, the soldiers
we're presented with a beautiful cake
appropriately decorated. At the close
of the evening, the cake and other
refreshments were served, in the
basement of the church. Mr.. Groes-
beck, of Boise, who was recently dec
GRATED for bravery, and Harold Sal
isbury, of Emmett, were among the
boys present, and others were: o. G.
Thurman and Euell Hawkins.

TAXES ARE HIGH ENOUGH TO
GIVE US NIGHT WATCHNAN


Recent robberies call attention to
the fact that Meridian has always
been in need of night watch There
is little use of policeman or watch
man during the hours of daylight, but
after night the property of the cit
liens should not be exposed to every
thief that comes along Besides,
night watchman could protect the
property against loss by fire and with
the high cost of lumber and the COM
mon use of the inflammable gasoline,
the fire danger is a serious matter.
There is not business man in town
who is not concerned over the danger
to his property when he goes home
for the night. A wise course would
be to cut down to the minimum the
expense for day police and secure
first-class night watchman who will
not sleep on the job He should be
paid sufficient sum to make it an
object to do his work right.
The taxes in Meridian are surely
enough so that the property should
be given this protection without any
volunteer assistance. People of Mer-
idian pay more taxes than any COM
munity in the county, the total being
$3.50 on each 500 valuation. Boise's
total tax is $S.19 per 500 valuation.
The village tax is $3.50 or more than
twice as much as any other item, the
rural high school calling for zoe, the
grade school 55c; the state .268c;
and the county .942.
Let's have night watchman, at
least before the winter months start
in. 1t is hoped that the town board
at their meeting nexr Monday night
will act favorably on this long felt
want

POPULAR MERIDIAN BOY
TALKS OF FRENCH PEOPLE.

Harold Salisbury, of Emmett, was
shaking hands with friends in Mer-

has been with the A. E. F. in France
for more than a year. Harold does
not seem particularly impressed with
the enterprise of the French people,
and says they would rather wait
convenient time and allow the Amer

to work and produce something They

present and are a hundred years be-
hind the times, and don't show an in

province, Normandy, he says, is pro-

Paris, but the balance of the nation
are living on the reputation of their
ancestors. They raise wine and such
things but no wheat, so in times like
this, they are dependent on the char
ity of other nations. While they had
time to get in crop this year, they
planted but very little, and have not
yet recovered from that unsettled,
nervous state caused by the war. He
says the nation is celebrating the end
of the great struggle, but are taking
very little thought as to where food
for next winter will come from.

GOODYEAR CO. HAS

The company now owns q conces-

portion of the plantation was already

The plantation 10 divided into six
parts, each aprpoximating 1000 acres,
and having its own manager. Except,
the small portion that had already

WAS necessary before anything else
could be done. Thirteen hundred cool.

step was to clear out the vines and

WORKERS Use AUTO
IN GOING TO SHOPS

1T did not surprise me to hear the
other day that it was not uncommon
in the coal fields to see coal miners
owning automobiles, riding out to
work, digging their coal and riding
home again. says G. c, Frey, of the
kissel Motor Car Company. I'm fact,
you cannot name branch of indus
try, social, agricultural. or financial
America that does not Include mem
bers who own automobiles to ride to
AMI from their work
IF you should ask any of these en-
ploye owners Just why they use their
cars for this purpose. they will state
that there is a wide difference be-
tween riding in the comfortable seat
of your own automobile and in stand
ing in crowded sereet car.
I'm discussing the subject the 9TH
er day with a prominent employer, he
stated that of course in every class
there are employees do do not own
cars, even the majority do not; but
those who do are generally good
workers who purchase their cars
with money they would otherwise
spend for some other desires
I'm fact, an investigation will prove
that the average owner of an auto
mobile does not spend nearly as
much money for miscellaneous de-
sires as the non-owners OF a car. An
automobile eliminates desires created
by not having this means of individ-
ual travel at hand"
