SHEEP MEN
ARE LOANED SOME MONEY

A. r. Estes left on the 6.29 east
bound train Tuesday evening for Id
aho Falls, where he goes In the In
terest of certain sheep growers there
who have made application under the
federal reserve act for loans. This
government aid will help out quite a
number of sheep and cattle men in
that section of the state, where the
opportunity to get some money will
be their salvation Just at this critical
time. MIR. Estes says there have been
no applications from the immediate
Meridian country although the stock
men near Caldwell have made appli-
cation and secured some of the fund
that is now at the disposal OF the
cattle and sheep men of Idaho.

All Want Taxes Paid
TAXES BEING PAID BETTER
THAN LAST YEAR

Notwithstanding the hard times,
Mrs. Ethel Clark, county treasurer,
reported Saturday that the tax delin-
quency list this year would not be as
large as d year ago. Last Friday
$55,774.64 was taken in in taxes. :.
Those who predicted that taxes
would not be paid this fall on ac-
count of the hard times, will be sur
prised at the statement of the county
treasurer. Several reasons, how
ever, are given for the promptness in
which the tax payers are meeting
their payments. One is that the av-
erage individual considers his tax
bill is debt that must be paid-and
the sooner, the better. Others, who
are not even taking advantage of the
half payment privilege, say they have
the money, and if they pay all the
tax, it will ease their mind as to the
chances that it will go for some other
than this necessary purpose. Still
another reason is that people value
their homes more than ever before,
and that If adversity should come,
they will still retain a roof over their
heads.
