SEEMED LIKE AN IMPOSITION
ParVenu Couldn't Understand Why
Musician Hadn't Come With
Instruments Tuned.

Herman Finck, the noted English
composer, tells the following amusing
story of a somewhat ambitious at
tempt of a member Of the newly rich
to grasp matters musical. He said:
my grandfather used to direct a
small orchestra of about half a dozen,
which could be hired for dances. par
ties and weddings. and even ION one
occasion only for funerals, but that's
another yarn. Well, the orchestra one
night made its appearance at the
house of the type Of parvenu we
should call nowadays a war prOfiteer.
The guests were assembled and the
fiddlers and so on were crowded up
in the usual corner with the ferns and
things. Suddenly the host approached.
'Whatevers this horrible noise
you're makingY he said. Rotten
piece, l call it?
"'This isn't a piece replied my
grandfather; we're tuning up, that's
ALL
"'Tuning up? engaged you over
two months ago. and you're tuning up
nowT"

BOYS SURPASS THEIR ELDERS
Total Purebred Stock In Idaho Com
munity Increased to rs Per Cent
by Young People.

1t is estimated that only 8 per cent
Of the cattle in the United States are
registered. and experts say that an in
crease of 2 per cent accomplished in
from five to ten years is a mark well
worth aiming at.
Out In Ustick. near Boise City, the
boys have shattered this record, ac-
cording to report brought in by a
United States department of agricul-
ture field worker who recently visited
the community. These boys, acting
upon their own initiative. and aided
by agents Of the department and the
State College of Agriculture. bought 10
head of purebred stock. thus increas-
ing the total for their community IS
per cent.

The particular byway referred to Is
that which wholesale shipments of
food follow in their costly travel from
the railway car to the retailer. A car
load Of fruit or vegetables can be sped
half way across the continent in
day or two, but on arriving in the city
where the food Is to be retailed. the
shipment starts on winding trail

Eliminating Expensive cartino.
This expensive shunting and hauling
of fOOdStuffS from point TO point in the
cities and the spOilage which the I'M

on the peaches and the city's dust and
dirt filtered in through the crateS so
that the fruit was far from being as
fresh and attractive as when taken
from the car. Moreover. the journey
so jostled and bruised the fruit that
