MAKING PROFIT IN IDAHO FROM
WASTED RESOURCES

Not only are the waste places being
made glad, but wasted resources in
Idaho are being turned TO profitable
account. Irrigation has done much.
The dry farmer has accomplished Won
ders in the face of stupendous OBJ
stacles and of discouragements TO try
the stoutest heart. The timberman,
the miner. the dairyman and others
have produced much to the credit Of
the state, but with all these very large
activities under way we find that there
has been almost complete oversight of
a resource that has been a waste and
in some instances-an expense of con-
siderable proportions-the fur raising
industry.
At present this industry is coming
to the front in giant strides. Rallying
around the Idaho Game Breeders as
sociation men and women in all parts
Of the state are interesting themselves
in the production Of fur bearing ami
mails, which gives promise of becoming
by far the most remunerative busi-
ness in the state, investment and ef-
fort considered.
Fur Prices High
With a black or silver fox skin
worth 5000. a coyote up to s32, mink
s2S. muskrat $3.50, red fox s55, lynx
$40, marten s12O, and even the odor-
ferrous skunk IS to s12, the business
Of raising fur bearing animals merits
the attention it is receiving; and as
the prices are bound to remain high
because of the penchant of the veal
thy to obtain those things the average
person cannot afford, permanence is
assured those who go into the business.
Many are contemplating doing this as
q side line if not more elaborately.
The sponsor and guide is the breed
ers' association. from the farm OF
which in Hagerman valley will radiate
the necessary encouragement.
Aid for Dry Farmers
Dry farmers are more "pestered" by
'-varmints7 than those in the more
thiellly settled il ricts. They have
been fighting tn. 81 animals away,
whereas if the, secured a start and
raised them fhe'- would obtain more
money than from tie farm. in any
event enough 10 put on tractors and
other equipmcnt TO do the farming
right and raise larger crops The
same thing is true of those having
land that is in part marshy as well
as those owning logged off land
The parent association is headed by
such men as Judge ]. II. Richards.
E. H. Dewey Col. L. V Patch, ex-
Governor Hawley and others, and the
membership of at present around 500
is divided into local units that are en-
thusiastie hackers of the new industry.

Magic $50 Bill Changes
To 500 Bill Instantly
Especial to The Tribunel

Kansas City, Nov. 11-Uncle Sam
rarely makes mistakes in his bank
note printing, but one of the most
famous errors he did make was that
of the Kansas City bank note which
lore 500 face and $50 back. The
single not was paid out by the bank
as $100 note to local hotel for the
same amount. All went we'll until
the cashier in checking up the days
receipts found he was $50 short. He
recounted the money and it was cor
rect. Just to make sure he counted it
a third time and found himself $50
short again.
For fifteen minutes he counted and
recounted, and at last convinced that
his mind was giving way, he called
the manager, who underwent the same
experience. Both clerk and manager
had counted the bills by stacking them
on the right, pulling off bill and
placing it on the left, turning the bill
over as they did so. The error was
discovered by a third clerk who was
called in by the frightened hotel Off
Gals when he counted the bills one
by one and examined both sides. The
bill was turned into the treasury de-
partment and destroyed.

70 Split In Baptist

ams pastor OF Olvst Baptist church,
aid TO be the largest eolored organ
zaiion ia che world. issued a state.
neni denying there was insurrection
q his church Dr. Williams IN his
statement says:
Touching this report. ] would say
hat 10 IS not true TO Baptist princ..
PIES nor Is 30 true TO the actnai veri-
ed facts in the case. guess you
know q is not possible for a congre-
saiion 20 be a Baptist church without
possessing the right OF self-determina-
ON and independence.
zone other corollary OF this funda-
.neutal Baptist truth Is the rule Of
be- majority The members OF the
|Olivet Baptist church who worship
t 2Tth street have the right 70 and
10 vote 20 decide finally and absolute
N all matters affecting themselves.
|fhey are just that much OF Ollvet

and privileges Of participating az all
lines in an the general business meet
'ngs Of said church, wherein an mat
'iers affecting their autonomy is al
ways considered and passed upon
'lhey 90 not only possess an the rights
|Oi Baptist members. but they enjoy
likewise the privileges that exist in

|ihere could be no internal strike in
the church over a desire for a thing
the worshipers at 27th street already
possess as does every member OF
|Olivet or members Of any other Bap-
tist church.
ITO further illustrate that the wor-
shippers at 27th street are not seeking
+ thing they -self-direction-
and that there is no strife in ollvet
over this, they. the worshipers at 27th
street voted unanimously to disap-
prove newspaper reports and rumOrs
which have been assiduously circulat-
led to the contrary. This they did last
Sunday evening.
MANY truth-seeking and truthlov.
ing people do not draw the real and
the Baptist distinction that exists be-
tween churches and church houses.
They do not always remember that it
is as much possible for one church
to worship in many houses as it is
for many churches to worship in one
church house"
