A boy will suddenly alarm you when
he begins to talk about wild schemes.
He has decided to start circus Of
his own and intends travelling through
the United States first and after that
TO China to display his wonderful
troup. He may be fifteen years Of
age and he may be but twelve. He'll
suddenly take to staying out late at
night and Dad will find him little
later on in the season loafing around
corners listening to older men; trying
to get a slant on politics. A boz loves
to get a sprinkling OF knowledge on
the important affairs of older emn.
Not long age some boys were found
down by the railroad track with a fire
who had travelled from another town
on one Of those adventurous jaunts.
II was after dark and late but these
youngsters weren't afraid. In fact IN
Isl they were rudely torn from their

they appeared for a hearing the next
day there was only few cents among
them. Without money, begSing food

often develops dangerously, until boys
grow to love the free unrestrained life
very much like the gypsy way of liv.

q Did you ever envy the tramp who
swings easily along an endless wind

In the spring and summer coming con-
stantly upon new adventure in ma
lures surprises and getting the full
benefit Of many soft winds and sun
baths. He has no cares or worries;
no home to keep, no garden to work,
no bank account to overdraw, no wife
TO scold. He gets up when he likes
and goes to bed when he pleases and
has a different bedroom each night
sometimes in soft hayloft, often d.
rectly under the stars. 1t all sounds
good when we're having one of our
ages and are tired OF our own way Of
living.

Patti became such an export that

Miss Haywood has received offers

| realized they would likely be dis
counted, because the local banks woulo
not be able to carry all of these reg
istered warrants issued during the
year, and that would mean that the
individuals in whose favor the war
rants were drawn, would have to
either hold them or discount them in
order to cash them, which meant inn
pairing the states credit, as these war
rants would be scattered all over the
United States in the transaction of
the states business.
This condition of affairs could not
be ignored, and had to be met at once.
These problems caused many anxious
hours, and in discussing them with
the governor, | made the suggestion
that if law could be passed author
izing the issuance of treasury certifi-
Gates or notes, based on the tax levy,
it would in my judgment, take care of
the situation until the taxes could be
levied and collected, as it would en-
able the state to go on a cash basis
without having to levy an extra year S
taxes in order to have cash on hand
with which to meet state expenses,
which / believed would save many
thousands of dollars each year in in
terest, and save the credit of the
state as we'll.
This suggestion seemed to fit into
the needs OF the state, and the neces-
sary laws were enacted by the legis-
lature authorizing the issuance of
$3,OOO,0OO of treasury notes for general
expense, and $l,SW,00 for road work,
during the years 1919 and 1920, to run
one year from date of issuance, based
on the tax levy made by the legisla-
ture. In other words, these notes are
in anticipation of the taxes, the sale
OF which will allow us to pay our ex-
penses as we go, instead of having to
register warrants, and wait until the
taxes are collected in January and
July, 1920, in oredr to pay the ex-
penses of the state for 1919.
Notes Solve Difficulty.
In order that these notes might
bring the very best price, we had the
legality of the law authorizing their ,
passed on by the Supreme |
court, and just as soon as it's decision |
was rendered approving the legality of |
The law, ST. 100000 of these notes were
sold at par and accrued interest, bear
ng. four and three quarters per cent,
while registered state warrants draw
) per cent interest, so that this differ
ence in interest resulted in a saving to !

departure in Idaho finances, but has
been used quite extensively in eastern
tate, and | am very pleased to state
hat our first sale of these notes. Ga
little more than one-third of the entire
ssue authorized proved the success
# this plan of financing. The cash
eceived from the sale of these treas
ry notes will be used to pay the reg
stored state warrants just as fast as
'e can figure the interest, and take

Another law which suggested that
as already proven its success, is the

| NAMPA-How much extra labor
will be needed to harvest the fruit
crop of southern Idaho will be de-
termined by survey to be made at
once. as result of a meeting of as
prominent orchard men held in the
city hall Saturday afternoon on call
Of c. J. Sinsel, president of the Idaho
State Horticultural society A com
mittee was appointed which includes
one member of each of the principal
fruit sections in this part of the state.
Each member of the committee will
make careful survey of the labor sit
uation in his district. These reports
must be in the hands of Mr.. Sinsel
not later than August 10. They will
then be consolidated and if the result
shows there is going to be a short
age of pickers and packers to handle
the apple and prune crops, all or
ganized effort will be made to import
labor form other sections of the state,
or from other states if necessary
No Wage Scale.
Considerable discussion was had on
the question of setting a minimum
wage scale, but this was finally set
aside as impractical and unnecessary.
There was a general feeling that the
labor situation was not gong to be
acute and that, moreover, it wa, not
feasible to establish a flat wage Tor
orchard workers, since expeii fenced
workers were always worth more than
green help. A number of speakers
said that they expected to pay high
wages this year, but they did not wan!
to be bound to any minimum or max
imum wage scale.

Estimates Too Low.
Practically all of the orchard own
ers at the meeting Saturday said that
the estimates of their crops made a
month ago and reported to the state
horticultural society at that time had
been from 2 5to so per cent too low.
Since the estimates of month ago
were the basis On which the Boise
Valley Traction company made their
plans for refrigerator cars, there is
a possibility that there may be some
small shortage of cars on this &C
count. Mr.. Sinsel pointed out this
fact to members of the association
and advised members they should not
blame the railroad company if their
own estimates had been too low.
Test R R Scales.
H. A. Lyons, director of the state
bureau of farm markets, was present
