PAID BIG WAGES

Idaho paid the highest month
ly wages for farm labor in 1919
and 1918 of any state in the
Union. In fact, they were al
most double the average for the
United States, according to fig
ures released by the Boice office
of the Idaho crop reporting SER
vice. The average rate per
month without board was $3.50
last year and $86.25 in 1918, or
an increase of 8.5 per cent in one
year. Back in the good old days
of 1910, when prices seemed a
bit unreasonable, Idaho farm
ers were paying $49.50 a month
for the same class of labor,
which price at that time was ex-
ceeded only in three other states.
Thus in the short space of ten
years the farmer has been re-
quired to increase the wages of
his hired man 80 per cent.
When the farmer furnished
board for his men, the monthly
wage in 1919 was $4,000; IN
1918, $4,000; in 1910, $500,
only one state exceeding the
Idaho 1919 and 1918 rate, while
two states exceeded the 1910
rate.
Harvest hands without board
were paid $4.95 in 1919; $4.45 in
1918 and $3.50 in 1910. These
seem reasonable enough when
compared with $500 and $6.25 a
day paid last year in South
Dakota and Nebraska harvest
fields. When board was furnish
ed the Idaho harvest hand re-
ceived $500 per day last year /;
$3.50 in 1918 and 1920 back in
1910.
For work other than harvest
Idaho farmers paid $3.50 per day
without board in 1919; 1896 a
day in 1918 and 1927 in 1910.
With meals furnished the rate
was $3.45 per day during 1919 +;
$40 for 1918 and $1.70 in 1910.
1t is interesting to note that in
the nine northern counties the
average monthly wage of $62.77,
including board, is lower than in
any other district of the state,
while the rate per day for har-
vest hands of $4.44 and and
board is the highest. The west
ern district, composed of Adams
and Washington counties, pays
the highest monthly wage, $75.-
90 and board, and the south
eastern district, Pocatello east
and south, pays the lowest daily
wage, $3.77 and board.

There are two kinds of borrow

There are two kinds of borrow
ers: l. The man who is
chronically hard up and borrows
because he can't save. 2. The
man who is ambitious and bor-
rows to enlarge his business or
make a start. The community
has little use for the first kind.
But it encourages the second
kind. Many men who might
make a business success, never
get anywhere because they lack
faith to borrow money. The
ambitious business man or farm
er in Ilo-Vollmer and vicinity
sould submit his proposition to
his home bankers. If it is on
sound basis and he is competent,
he will have no trouble in getting
funds.-Ilo Register.

Keep on the move or the flu

numerous signs that have been
placed on the prominent coroner
of the city this week by Marshall
John Funke, by order of the city
council and it behooves every
one to keep moving. For is it
not better to stamp out the
malady as soon as possible or
wait until everyone has been af-
flicted with it? 1t was done for
the best interest of the citizens
at large.

row money to pay his income

however in many instances.

NEAT STAND FOR PATCHWORK
verted Into an Attractive and Use fui Receptacle.

What girl does not like a room that is frightened by bit of cretonne? What girl would not like place to keep sewing materials and bits of fancywork where they are out of the way and easy to reach when one has an inspiration to sew? A normal girl likes both of these things, and the great number of normal girls in the world will be glad of an opportunity to learn how to make that bit of fur
 This stand Is made out of wash board. An old washboard will do. A cretonne work pocket Is tackled along the front and sides of the board. A slight frame of wood should be made to keep the cretonne away from the board at the top, so that good-sized pocket Is formed. The cretonne, of course, is tackled fast to the bottom of the board.
 Before the cretonne is tackled into place the zinc should be covered with a piece of cloth to form a pocket lin ing. The recess at the top of the board which holds the soap Is util- ized to hold scissors and thread. Nails should be driven into the bar across the bottom of this recess to form spin dies for the spools. Two pieces of tape at the back of the board will hold the scissors.
 The stand Is supported like an easel by screwing pair of uprights to the sides of the washboard. These uprlghts are held together near the lower ends by means of a horizontal strip.
 Next the woodwork of the stand should be painted to harmonize with the woodwork in the room.

Lucky Even to Get That.

"The president of the stone bank was kidnapped by a robber," relates the landlord of Petunia tavern. "He was in his own yard, in his shirt sleeves, moving the lawn, when the villain driv' up in a snorting car and cOmpell- ed him, at the pint of pistol to get in, and then went roaring off with him in a southeasterly direction. The sup position was that the scOundrel expect- ed to hold him for ransom. Just at dusk last night the bank president came back in the car. He was wear ing a vest and a pensive smile, and also pants and coat. In a pocket of the coat was a pistol. and there was a bundle of clothes In the bottom of the car When asked about the fate of the bandit he sorter yawned and said he presumed likely the villain found a barrel sOmewhere.-Kansas City Star.

FORGED REMOVAL OF EDICT
Londoners in Riotous Mood Whom Monarch Threatened to Close
 citys Coffee Houses.

All England was up in riotous de fense of the right to pursue happiness and coffee when, in 1875, Charles tried to close the coffee-houses as "the great resort of idle and disaffected persons" hot beds of political intrigue. So loud were the protests against the prohibi- tion that the king was forced to re- yoke his proclamation. To save his dignity, he said that "out of his prince ly consideration and royal compassion all and every retailer of the liquor aforesaid shall be allowed to keep op- en until the four and twentieth day of June next" The arid date came and went-and the lid didn't go on. The London coffee houses still flourished champions of free speech when the press was controlled and parliament unreliable.
 Of all the literary and political meeting places, the most influential was one popularized by the patronage of the poet Dryden. Literary aspir- ants of the day paid dearly mere ly for the privilege of entering the room the great man usually occu- pied. There 1t was that Pepys saw him, center of an admiring throng having "very witty and pleasant dis course" Dryden's chair always was placed by the fire in the winter and on the balcony in summer.
