No definite date has been set for the town meet ing, hut 1t is probable that when the board of relief finishes its work on next Monday, a date will be set for the first part of March. Many are waiting for the meeting. when the biggest question, that of Ievying the rate,' will be discussed. Much discus sion on this project is being indulged ir by the officials and taxpayers of the town at present. The tax now is IT F mills. but this will not meet the requirements of the town. There have been a comparatively small number of complaints registered at the previous meetings of the board of relief, and apparently the property owners are satisfied with the increase lid by the assessors. The grand list has had an increase of $5OS, ,659, over last years list, but this will not be enough to cover expenses, so the off, cials say.
 The board of relief will hold ses- sions at the town hall Monday after noon for the last time. They will be there between 1:30 and o'clock. All appeals for a reduction must be in on that day.

IT MIGHT HAPPEN

A potatoes eye would be fearful,
the heart of a lettuce grow sad,
some cabbage's head get dizzy, a
clam start talking bad. A Spanish
tale from an onion might split the
peas in pod, blade of grass might
cut them down if the flowers began
to nod. An apple would certainly
dig to the core, banana slip on its
peel, the scales of fish would cheat,
no doubt, and Virginia surely would
reel. The slippery elm would slide
along, a pin might lose it's head;
even the frogs would cease to croak
and widows past be dead. The
salad might leave without dressing,
and give the window pain, stamp
might get licked for sticking and
Adam start raising Cain. The sun
might get shine on, causing the
moon to beam, needles eye might
close in shame, and the tongue of a
shoe might scream. The dogwood
tree might bark aloud, boot might
stick to the last, bean might stalk
away in the dark and a plaster lose
it's cast. Tires would never have
blowouts, blue Sundays might never
accrue, all this and more might hap
pen if

him. He was in that studenpous

races for supremacy.
Another Road to Fort
Persons desiring to go by the
reservation road to Fort Hall should
go to Tyhee school house and con-
tinue westward to where the dug
road leads down into the bottoms,
then follow the best road some five
OF six miles northwesterly until
after crossing the large bridge at
Cold Spring creek, then turn sharply
to the right and follow an old road
nearly north about three miles into
the big bend and the spot Of rye
grass. People desiring to see the
country should go by one route and
return by the other. We believe 1t Is
not possible for vehicles to go in via
the Ferry Butte, tho we have not
tried recently.
While on this trip, remember that
the reservation belongs to the
Indians and that you are not to dis
turb anything in nature. They re-
gard the earth as their mother and
it is an offense to disturb any
natural growth unless it is taken for
food in such quantity as is needed
for the passing day.

EASTERN BANKERS
WILL ASSIST WEST
WILL RAISE FIFTY MILLION FOR
CREDITS TO INDUSTRIES IN
THE UNITED STATES
Western Bankers Must Supply Re-
malYder Of Sum Required; Confer
ehce Called for Chicago Soon
to Complete Plans

Washington.-EaStern bankers have
agreed to furnish half of the $50, OO0,-
COZ corporation fund which is being
organized by the treasury and federal
reserve board to furnish additional
credit facilities for the livestock indus
try.
This assurance has been given, it
was stated Monday following the con-
ference Of last week in which ]. p.
Morgan represted eastern bankers.
The other $25,OOO,oOO must be rails
ed by western bankers. Possibility Of
raising the amount will come up for
consideration at the conference Of
western bankers to be held in Chicago
A committee representing the eastern
bankers will attend the meeting.
While eastern bankers will make
a substantial contribution to the pool,
the Chicago banks will be asked to take
charge of the details Of the scheme.
The program Is to make six months
livestock loans rather than for a two
year period as has been urged. The
six months paper will be subject to re-
view upon maturity and renewal If the
loans to six months periods, the paper
eral reserve banks. The loans will bear
will be eligible for rediscount at fed
interest at current rates.
It Is intended that the Chicago banks
shall handle the loans through banks
in the cattle growing sections or
through cattle loan companies. In
this way it will be possible to use ex-
listing credit machinery, which will ia
clitate matters.
Handling of the matter through pri-
waite banking channels is regarded as
desirable because of the urgency Of
the situation.
The purpose is to facilitate the an
nual movement of cattle feeders from
the southwest to Idaho. Montana, Wy
oming and other northwestern states.
Among those who will attend the
Chicago conference is Senator Stan
field of Oregon, who also participated
in the meeting of last week in Wash
dngton.
II believe that private credits to the
amount Of $5OOOO,0OO would aid ma
terially in the crisis now present
in our country" said Senator Stanfield
in discussing the livestock situation
Tuesday. Naturally desre to have
the financial problem handled through
private hands than through govern
mental aid. The Chicago conference
ought to establish definitely whether
there is any need for federal legdsla-
ton. Private capital or federal credits
must work to save a situation that is
headed straight for meat famine"

Furniture Cleaner.

Homemade furniture cleaner can be
made by adding one tablespoonful OF
turpentine and three tablespoonfuls OF
linseed or lemon oil to one quart of
boiling water. When cool enough to
be comfortable to the hand, use as a
wash water on all furniture except
white enamel. Soft cheesecloth for
wash cloth and a dry piece for soft
wiping cloth will give the good polish
Of clean wood. There being no varnish
in the mixture, the furniture will not
be sticky from this cleaner.
