New York. March S.-tSpecial.)-- Bond men today reported large demand for Anglo French bonds. and during today the securities sold as high as ss. They have been creep ing up gradually in recent weeks, having been slightly lower than 94 this year. The rally was inter- preted to signify important buying, as $500, ,000,0O0 of the bonds are out standing and the market position could not be easily swayed. The is- sue will mature on October 15 next, and at the present prices the bonds yield approximately the current rate for time money.
 Although United States Steel common is now selling more than 10 points below 106. the price at which the corporation announced that employees may subscribe to O., GOO shares under this years stock subscription plan, it was learned today that indications point to larger participation than a year ago, when 156,6S0 common shares were offered at 92. There seems to be popular misconception concern ing the Steel Corporations profit sharing scheme. Under the plan, when employees signify their inten- tion of buying the stock at the of fered price it is paid for on par tial payment system. After all payments have been made, each em- ploye is entitled to bonus of $5 share for every year that he holds his stock up to five years, so for the full period the bonus amounts to 25 a share. This rebate, there fore, would bring the net price of the stock subscribed for this year down to $s1 share if held for the five-year period.

Rains Delay Farm
Work but Favorable
for Fall Sown Grain

BOISE-Moderate temperatures,
generally above normal, prevailed
thruout the state during the week
No frost occurred and there is gen.
eral comment on the part of crop
reporters to the fact that no killing
frost has yet occurred and that late
garden vegetables and flowers are
still growing luxuriantly. There was
much cloudiness and sunshine was
inadequate. Moderately heavy rains
were general.
Conditions were for the most part
quite favorable for the slow growth
of all vegetables. Meadows and
pasture grasses are thriving and
ranges are in exceptionally good con-
dition for the season, altho increas-
ing cold on the higher ranges is
slowing the growth of forage plants
considerably.
Conditions Of both moisture and
temperature were very favorable for
fall sown grain and the early seeded
fields are mostly up to fine stand
and growing nicely. The rains in
most localities have been copious and
heavy enough to put the soil in the
best Of condition for fall blowing.
Most branches of farm work were
delayed considerably by the rains.
Much of the third crop of alfalfa is

on Bottle.
The stock on the farm Of Harvey
Trump Of Gamble township, near vii.
Transport, Pa, has been increased by
the addition of fawn which requires
more care than any other animal on
the farm. When Mrs. Irving went on
the meadow field the other evening to
drive home the cows she discovered q
doe and It's fawn in the herd.
When the doe saw the woman it ran
and deserted the fawn, which Mrs.
Trump picked up in her arms and
carried to the barn. The fawn now
occupies stall in the COW shed and
Is being cared for by members of the
farmers family, who were shown by
a game protector how to feed 1t with
a bottle. Three times a day the fawn
Is given bottle filled with warm
milk.
For several weeks John Ely, also of
Gamble township, has been caring for
fawn that came to his farm for pro-
lection when its mother was chased
by dogs. Ely plans to rear the deer
until 1t is old enough to take care OF
itself when he will release 1t in the
woods near his home with the hope
that the present treatment will tend
to make 1t frequent visitor to the
Ely farmhouse.

FARMERS HAVE INTEREST AT STAKE
in REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRATIC ISSUES

about the cost of production of farm
crops, is reported to have said that
this was no time to investigate farm
costs of production; that it was the
farmers business to produce and not
bother his head of about the cost.
Thru the war the farmers. were
frantically urged by one crowd while
another crowd was using every de-
vice of market manipulation to hold
down prices of farm products. Was
that fair? No, it was mott Look
over your slate and remember
November 2.
Drive Against Farm Prices
But some one will say, "Well, we
were in war then, and the farmers
should not complain about what it
was necessary to do, even If they
didn't do 1t to others" Very we'll,
let us wipe the slate clean up to the
signing Of the armistice, leteus con-
slider what has happened to the
farmer since the war ended. The
farmer had been urged to produce to
the limit and had been assured that
even If peace came, all he could
grow would sell at profitable prices.
Remember the price drive in Janu-
airy: 1919, within three months after
the armistice had been signed; and
more determined drive in July,
1919, when hogs dropped from
$22.10 on July Is to $14.50 on
October Is, altho pork products to
the consumer dropped on an aver
age less than 10 per cent. In June,
1920 hogs were selling at $3.50 less
per 100 pounds than in June, 1919,
but retail ham prices were higher.
AS result of the government drive
the producer received less and the
consumer paid more. Who bene-
fitted?
Have you been making so much
money on your cattle and hogs that
you can afford further reductions in
prices?
We shall not deal rther with this
sickening story of incompetent and
inefficient government meddling.
You know the story in most of its
details as we'll as I. As you think it

fact: That the Democratic party, If
continued in power is committed to
the same sort of policy in, deal

dark, they might like it in Wood
ville."
So OF to Woodville they trotted
and under the tree where Mr.. Owl
lived they began their music.
When Mr.. Owl heard the terrible
noise outside, he ducked under the
clothes and hid, for what was after
him he could not think.
But after a while, as nothing hap
pened but the noise, Mr.. Owl poked
out his head, and then got up. But
instead Of getting out Of the right
side Of his bed, as he first started to
do, he got out this time on the wrong
side, which made him very cross.
He ran to the window and threw 1t
up with bang, and Tom Kitten and
Bah Rabbit were sure this time they
were to get mouse or a radish.
Each held up his hat and said {:
"Pity two poor orphans and give US
something"
"I'll give you something" said Mr..
Owl, for he was cross when he went
to the window, but when he saw who
it was he was crosser than ever.
Mr.. Owl did not wait to dress. He
few right out Of the window just as
he was, in his night cap and slippers,
and down he pounced upon the two
orphans.
He carried them up to his window,
land there Ia no knowing what would
have happened If the window had
been large enough for Mr.. Owl and
Tom Kitten and Bah Rabbit to get
through all at once, but It wasn't, and
Mr.. Owl, thinking Tom Kitten was a
rabbit and could not get away, he sat
him down on limb Of the tree until
he could put Bah Rabbit inside.
No sooner did he let go of Tom
Kitten than away he went down the
tree and off at his best running speed.
Old Mr.. Owl was so surprised that
he dropped poor Bah Rabbit, and the
moss under the tree was thick, and
so when he struck 1t Bah Rabbit
jumped up pretty quick and ran hip
perty-hop-leap away from around Mr..
Owls home.
Tom Kitten and Bah Rabbit had q
very hard time explaining how they
tore their clothes, and to punish them
their mothers made them stay In bed
all the next day, and you may be sure
that neither Of them ever again want
ed to play orphans.

Well, Just thought of an occur

road-house and when anybody
came along that they thought had
money, 1t is said, they killed them
and buried them in lot close to the
house. They had a curtain stretched
across the room, according to the
story. They would set the table so
as the mans back would be to the
curtain and when q man or woman
sat down to eat they would hit them
with hammer on the back of the
head. They had a trap-door in the
floor and would drop them down
into the cellar. They killed men,
women and children. knew parties
that helped to dig up the bodies.
Finally they were caught. One
daughter by the name of Kate got
away. Just after that boy or
young man came to Silver City,
southwest of Boise, and went to
work in livery barn. After little
while he got some cattle and started
a cattle ranch over on Snake river. |
He would come over on the Boise
river to winter his cattle. I knew
several cowboys that used to ride
with him. One winter he became
sick and died at neighbors. When
they dressed the body they dis
covered that he was woman. Many |
believed that she was Kate Bender.

FRANCE IS RAPIDLY
GETTING ON HER FEET
lronmaster Schneider Declares
Reconstruction Has De.
veIoped Quickly.

France is on the way to recovery"
Eugene Schneider, the ironmaster,
told the delegates to the international
chamber Of commerce at its dedicatory
session In the SorbOnne.
He supported his optimism with fig
ures on the reconstruction Of devas-
tated regions. These showed 2,412
factories employing 235,0O0 persons,
were operating in the invaded depart
ments. This, however, was compared
to 1888 factories, employing 66S.OO0
before the war.
He gave two general indications Of
growing Industrial force. First, the
diminishing excess of imports over
exports with a marked increase In the
expectation Of manufactured articles
and, second. the increasing excess In
various taxes over the receipts esti-
mated by the government.
Reclamation Of the war-torn farm
land necessary to reduce the country's
onerous importatlons Of foodstuffs was
said by M. Loucheur to be encourag-
ing. He said devastated regions would
produce two-thirds Of a normal crop
this year.
Several phases Of Germany's failure
to fulfill treaty requirements to France
were cited by M. Loucheur. He said
instead Of the minimum delivery of
one and two-thirds million tons Of coal
monthly France had received in seven
months only an average Of 672,900
tons.
