IL RedOubIeS HudsOn'S Value
Advantage

There is no need to call attention to
the quality, ability and distinction of
Hudson. Its leadership in these is a
long acknowledged position. II is
now in its sixth year as the largest
selling fine car. In every way that
proof can be offered it has establish
eI lis right to that eminence.
Many of its official records are Of
five years standing. They have been
challenged necessarily. Isn't it sig
nEicant that five years Of intensive
csmpetition has produced no rival TO
outstrip them?

Our Debt To Borah

Some of the esteem in which Ida
hos senior senator is held in the cast
may be obtained from an editorial
appearing in the Ohio State Journal,
published at Columbus, Ohio, as fol-
lows:
"A man to whom this country and
the others owe a great deal is Sena-
tor Borah, for his Enthusiastically
vigorous pressing of his resolution
for an armament limitation confer
epce with Great Britain and Japan
has brought this matter to head.
1t has become live and perhaps the
paramount issue sooner and with
more hopeful prospects than it would
have done but for the efforts of the
fighting irreconcilable from Idaho. AL
ready Secretary Daniels h2s backed
water and now sees the possibility
of the drastic abbreviation of naval
programs. General Pershing is for it.
General Bliss is for it. Lloyd George Is
is for it. Japanese statesmen are
for it. Congress has reversed itself
and now believes that much cmaller
standing army will suffice than it and

sary year ago.

IDAHO WHEAT OF
EXCELLENT QUALITY

Idaho wheat is of excellent quail
ity, and 1t meets every requirement
for the baking of a beautiful white
loaf of rich full favored bread as
well as the most delicate pastry"
This is what Mr.. J. @. Beam the
Meridian baker has to say about it.
This is the kind of -four which we
ara now US ing exclusi1ly in our
bakery, and we have found, that
when properly blended, there is moth
nag better for every baking need,
than the -four which is now being
ground entirely from Idaho Wheat" :"
We wish that every one could
have an opportunity to taste loaf of
this bread which we are now max
Ing" says Mr.. Beam, as the taste Is
the most convincing argument. We
are selling these larger loaves now at
ten CENTS

FARM HOMES NOT
ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH

Too many Idaho homes are little
more than shelters for the overwork-
ed housewife and her growing chiIdT
rem, who endure their hardships in
the hope that some day the family
can retire in the city and enjoy the
comforts of modern home.
A permanent agriculture cannot be
founded under such conditions. The
modern farm home with labor saving
accessories must become a reality
and it must equal, if not excel in
comfort and equipment the homes OF
city dwellers. Engineering must 60
hand in hand with agriculture and
home economies in this fundamental
work of home building. The boys
and girls while still in the rural
schools, should be taught the princi-
pies of practical home building.
There should be carried also to the
very farmsteads of Idaho practical
demonstration and assistance which
will hasten the building of better
farm homes.
When the average farmer has a
good home with community privi-
leges for education, entertainment
and recreation, then we can reasona-
bly, expect a happy and permanent
rural population.

RURAL HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICTS CREATED IN BILL

Designed for the relief of COM
munities where several school dis
tricts have combined into joint dis
trict for the purpose of building a
high school, house bill No. 70, intro
duced Friday morning by the commit
tee on education, creates rural high
school districts and provides for the
maintenance and operation of the
same.
The main feature of the bill Is that
II raises the bonding limit of school
districts SO joined together from
per cent of their assessed valuation
to per cent
The measure has the Endorsement
of the department of education and is
also highly favored by all members
of the committee on education. w.
Scott Hall Of Oneida county, chair
man of the committee, says that 1t
Is to relieve such situations in the
state as exist at Meridian, where sew
eral districts have joined together to
form joint district for the purpose
OF building high school. They find,
however, that the 2, per cent bonding
limit, which is allowed ordinary
school districts, is insufficient even
though their valuation is in the
nefghborhood of three million dollars.
The measure also regulates the
levying power of tie district Ten
mills is the amount named in the bill
with an additional mills under cer-
tain circumstances and with the per-
mission OF the state board of educa-
tion. Permission to strike the clause
providing for this additional 4 mill
levy will be asked Saturday morning
ia was learned Friday night as the
authors of the bill think it unneces-
sary particularly as the valuation in
districts to which the bill applies is
generally high.
The proposed districts must not
embrace a greater territory than that
IuE3uded within a 6-mile radius from
the proposed center of the district.
districts are formed by the county
commissioners of the county in which
IL Is proposed to build the school and
residents desiring the formation of a
district must file petition signed by
the majority of the qualified voters
of the territory effected. Acceptance
0g the petition by the commissioners
IN regulated by the valuation of the
dlstris+.. III it be less than five hun
dred thousand dollars the petition
cannot be accepted and the district
cannot be formed.
Little opposition Is expected to the
Measure by its authors. Boise

Senator William P. Dillingham; of
Vermont is the author of bill to re-
strict immigration into this country
to not more than five per cent of the
total aliens of any one nationality
now In the United States. The Sena-

bill would fix maximum of about
337 600 for immigrants from north
western Europe, and from southern
and eastern Europe. Turkey, and Asia
of about 256,000. Mr. Dillingham;
has given many years of study to the

BIG LOCAL MAR
KET FOR HAY


Six hundred dollars is being paid
out to the farmers of the Boise
valley for milk daily now by the
eheese factories of the different COM
munities for milk with which to man
safacture their cheese. The factories
ara now turning out cheese at the
rate of 5000 pounds day and so
great is the demand for their output
that they have no surplus stock. 1t
ID estimated that the amount of milk
Purchased is supplied by 1900 cows
Each of these cows will consume 40
pUands of hay day and during the
year the 1900 cows will consume H.
$50 tors of hay, which If sold at $40
q ION would be worth $129,600. The
total expenditure In the valley each
DAP for milk is approximately $i0,-
$50 and the consequent amount of
h&y consumed by the cows of the val
lGy Is enormous. as Is also its value.
These figures arc stupendous. but
they are based upon an existing con-
dItion and are indicative of the real
,xQzntion of the problem of develop

Capt. Dancey Speaks Here.

Il go SO far as to say, that the man
who will place any obstacle in the
path of better understanding be-
tween the different branches of the
English speaking races of the world,
that man opposes the principle of a
world peace, he is not an American
and fails to support the very princi-
pies upon which the American consti-
tuition is founded" declared Captain
is. N. Dancey, of the Ellison White
Lyceum circuit, in addressing large
and enthusiastic audience in the high
school auditorium at Meridian Tues
day evening. Captain Dancey is one
of the Canadian representatives on
the Lyceum and chautauqua platform
In support of the union of the Eng
lish speaking races of the world as
the safest guarantee of the world
peace. 1t was the third number on
the Meridian Lyceum course. During
the day, Captain Dancey addressed
the high school pupils, giving them
the inside story of the war and em-
phasizing the imperative need of a
100 per cent pure American heart as
the best weapon for combating the
evils that are tugging at the heart
strings of the nation today,
with II languages in New York,
SO In Chicago, 103 west of Chicago
and 81 west of Winnipeg in Canada,
with more than 1000 newspapers
published In foreign language in
this land, ! submit, that, even : as a
common spirit of nationality is the
foundation of every national struct-
ure, that we will never, never Amer
icanize the foreigner within our bord-
ers, until we make him think and
talk In the English language. That
is the first problem before the Ameri-
can people today and, particularly so,
in view of the fact that many of these
papers are, today, breathing a spirit
OF sedition and treachery."
