More than so per cent of 706 scales
examined in Boise, Nampa and Meri-
dian retail and wholesale establish
ments by F. U. Brossard and E. J.
Crouch, special agents of the state
farm markets department, were found
inaccurate, according to H. A. Lyon,
director of the state farm markets
bureau, who launched an investigation
of scales in the state several weeks
ago. No arrests were rade, out inves-
tigators instructed the owners of faul-
ty scales to replace them with accur-
ate ones. In some cases it was found
that the adjustments in the scales had
slipped, and by little manipulation
the scales were put back into order.

Colonel Woods, assistant to the sec
rotary of war, has issued this advice
to housekeepers on what not to feed
a returned soldier: "The tabooed ar
ticles are dried beans, salmon, hash,
cerned beef, bread pudding, rice pud-
ding, condensed milk, Irish stew and
horse meat. The colonel is sure that
chocolate ice cream, steaks, roast beef,
French fried potatoes, salad with Rus
sian dressing, ham and eggs, will meet
with unanimous applause from all re-
turned soldiers and sailors. Hot bis
cults, deep apple or berry pie and
waffles, with plenty of good butter.
are seldom scorned. We have known
soldiers, however, who refused meat in
all forms, saying that they had had
beef for two years and wanted some
thing else"

Robert G. Ingersoll wrote his fam
GUS whisky letter" to Wolston H.
Brown of New York, who was i'll with
pneumonia and for whom whisky had
been prescribed. Mr.. Brown recovered
married Colonel IngersolPs daughter,
and the original whisky letter now
occupies conspicuous place on their
walls at Dobbs Ferry. The text Of the
original letter is as follows: ~ send
you some of the most wonderful whis-
ky that ever drove the skeleton from
the feast of painted landscapes in the
brain of man. 1t is the mingled souls
of wheat and corn. In it you will find
the sunchine and the shadow that
chased each other over the billowy
fields; the breath of June; the carol
of the lark; the dews of night; the
wealth of summer and autumn's rich
content, all golden with imprisoned
light. Drink it and you will feel with
in your blood the starlit dawns, the
dreamy, tawny dusks of many perfect
days. For forty years this liquid joy
has been within the happy slaves of
oak, longing to touch the lips of men,"

Ninety million pennies are being
turned out of the minis every month to
meet the demand for "odd cent" sales
caused by war taxes. This is an aver
age of million pennies day. 1t
takes between 400 and 500 men and
women just to count the pennies and
put them in packages for distribution.
However, they are not the only ones
who are counting pennies these days
while having to spend dollars.

C. w. Giesler has started new in
dustry for Payette. He has purchas-
ed six fine goats to take the place OF
the Jersey COW, which seem to be
quite success. The six goats COM
bined will give considerable more milk
than the average COW, and the quality
Of the milk has no comparison. One
gallon Of goats milk will produce as
much cream as four gallons Of ordin-
airy cows milk, while the feed for one
COW will keep eight goats. These lit
tie animals are quite interesting. They
are regular pets and are very gentle
to handle, but must be lifted to box
or stand while being MIXED. 1t is
claimed that goats milk has no equal
for infant children-Payette Eenter-
prise.

The industrial program Of the Ma
tional Nonpartisan league. which was
Endorsed by the voters of North Dako-
ia at special referendum election on
June 26, is being put into operation
and this first experiment in state Soc
ialism will be watched with interest.
The bank of North Dakota, in which
all state, county and municipal funds
are to be deposited under the new
laws, is in operation, but is not yet
ready to make loans and handle de-
posts on big scale. The bank now
employs 20 persons with an annual
payroll of $4,000. The banks re-
sources will be more than $31, 900, 900.
Public funds totaling $21, O00, 900 have
been reported and there are state
bonds, of $1O,0OO,00O. Only about
100000 worth of bank bonds have
been sold in the state, but bank Off
Gals explain this by saying investors
held off pending the outcome of the
referendum. The bank had planned to
sell $500 900 worth of bonds. When the
institution is in full operation state
ment similar to those from the federal
reserve banks will be issued monthly
outlining conditions over the state.
The bank will provide funds for car
rying out the industrial program, and
an industrial commission will control
the state-owned industries to be es-
tablished. The Home Builders asso-
citation which will provide funds for
persons desiring to build homes, is
to be in operation soon. The
Mill and Elevator association, in
charge of. the leagues wheat market
ing and distributing system, has been
mills and elevators with a
view to purchasing two or three to
start the experiment. The state is
not expected to start an extensive
building program for several months.
Those directing the work express con-
fidencc that every phase of the pro-
gram will meet with success despite
strong opposition which they say is
being offered by league opponents.
