WHY
Is "a Black Sheep?-And
Some Other Why's

Why is there black sheep in every
lock?
because sheep, in their early domes-
ticated conditions, were brown or dirty
black. and because nature occasionally
''harks back" or reverts to early type
in nearly all species.
Why does a red flag infuriate a
bull? Because. according to one
theory, the animal ''sees red" The
condition which occurs naturally, in
certain circumstances Gas on the bat
tlefielO, in man, rendering him indif-'
ferent to danger, is produced arti-
ficially in the bull, with like results.
Why does dog turn round and
round before lying down? Because
the animals ancestor, the wild dog,
made its bed thus by forming hol-
low in the leaves and branches.
Why has the camel got a hump?
Because in its natural state 1t needs
an emergency ration" If deprived
of food for several days, it falls back
on the fat of its own hump. which
then gradually disappears before the
limbs are perceptibly reduced. That
it carries a reserve of water in It's
stomach is well known
Why is the underpart of rabbits
tail white? Because the appendage
has on occasion to serve as a danger
signal. Violently agitated as it is on
the approach of danger, it can be
seen by other rabbits even at dusk,
whereas it might be wholly invisible
if the color of the tail was uniform
with that of the body.
Why has cat got whiSkers? Be
cause otherwise-apd this applies to
the whole of the feline family, includ
ing lions and tigers-its eyes would
lose sight Of prey, such as birds or
mice, through fatigue arising from
Experiments prove /
that cats deprived of their whiskers
catch few mice, or none at all.

SULPHUR FOR ALFALFA FIELDS

A two-year experiment in the use
of sulphur on alfalfa fields is being
started in Canyon county through
cooperation of two farmers with
the county farm bureau and the soils
specialist of the university extension
division. Demonstration plats have
been selected and a soil analysis will
be made before the application of
the sulphur. Other analysis will fol-
low at intervals throughout the
period of the experiment.

COLLECTOR OF
INTERNAL REVENUE


Recognizing the Importance of giN
ing to the citizens of Idaho better
:srvice in the matter of payment o.
ederal Government taxes, the bu'
sau of Internal Revenue, at the
argent insistence of Senator John
Nagent, has established at Boise, the
tate capital. an officer of Collector
Of Internal Revenue. 49,
Taxpayers of income tax, as well
rs those paying tax on admissions,
dues, transportation, telephone and
telegram messages, soft drinks, jew
elry, luxury and 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 Dis
trict by the Internal Revenue Blu
reau, and taxpayers Of this State will
no longer report to the Montana Dis
trict.
1t is important that payers of In
ternal Revenue taxes take this no
tice 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, pre-
pared to advise taxpayers how to
prepare their returns. This service |
to the taxpayers will be free of cost
and will be given cheerfully during |
business hours. While the service sta
tions will not be in operation for a /
short time due to the great amount
of work necessary in the establish,
ment OF the central office at Boise,
taxpayers should forward their re-
turns to the central office at Boise,
addressed to the Collector.
Prompt attention will be. given to
I'll correspondence in the office.
Taxpayers will be advised throughi
this paper when these service sta,
lions are opened. 1t is hoped by
The Department that the public will
avail itself of this convenience

The Gentle Speech Of Railroadine..

Willie finally persuaded his aunt
to play train with him. The chairs

Boise, Idaho, Oct 13.-There new
ar was president of the United
States who did more for Idaho thar
Theodore Roosevelt; there never was
2 citizen whose every thought was
more centrally in sympathy with the
leeds and the development of this
tate than Teddy.
This great man has gone to his
sward and movement is on foot
u erect a suitable memorial to his
memory. Idahos quota is $4,000
which it is confidently expected will
b raised during the week of Octo,
bar 20 to 81, the latter date being
Colonel Roosevelt's birthday. An
association has been formed in Idaho
loaded by ex-governor Frank R..
ooding and associated in the move
snent are prominent men and women
il all parts of the state.
The plan is to raise this money
~ popular subscription. Each sub
fcriber will be given life member
hip card in the Roosevelt Memorial
Association and each school child
vho contributes will be given a spe-
cial certificate
This most praiseworthy movement
is entirely non-partisan. While Colo.
mel Roosevelt was Republican in
politics, he was first of all an Ameri-
can citizen and the greatest champ
ion of American rights and the
rights OF the American people that
ever sat in executive position.
The feeling all over Idaho, as in
dicated by letters coming to the state
association headquarters, is that in
contributing to this fund, Idaho is
honoring herself by it's voluntary as
ISOLATION in this national movement
which plans perpetual tribute to
the memory of a man whose namc
and deeds will live forever as synony
nous with the highest type of Ameri
canism.
Local organizations are being form |
ed in every county and the subject /
is being taken up with the schools
by the State Superintendent of pub
lie instruction, Miss Redfield. Min
listers are being asked to preach ser.
mons on Sunday, October 26th on.
Roosevelt; lodges and other organi,
cations, including the Idaho branch
OF the American Legion of Honor.
have been invited to assist in this
labor OF love and reports indicate
that there will be general co-opera-
ton.

TALE OLE a PIG

This is a story that l heard
give it to you word for word: 4.
There lay pig beside a ditch.
Or hog, | don't remember which.
Beside him lay another creature
Resembling him in form and feature
The time, l think, was last October,
The man was drunk, the pig was sob.
On the mans finger was ring;
In the pigs nose similar thing.
And there might other points, ween
OF likeness 'twixt the two beseen.
For brevity let it suffice
To say that neither looked too nice.
They both were dirty, fat and lazy,
And seemed disposed to take life
easy.
And in the mild autumnal weather
They lay contentedly together
Some city people passing by
Glanced these companions to espy,
And as they passed they dropped a.
word
Which the pig, listening, overheard;
BY the company one keeps" said
they
One may be rightly judged, they
say
The pig got up and walked away!
