DIGEST OF new
TOBACCO LAW
PENALTY FOR VIOLATING
NEW TOBACCO LAW Is
VERY SEVERE

The Department of Law En-
forcement, Bureau of License, of
the State of Idaho, with head
quarters at Boise has sent out to
all newspapers throughout the
state excerpts concerning the
new tobacco law which goes into
effect the 5th of May. The law
is a very strict one, and if it is
enforced will make it almost i'm
possible for minors to get tobac
co in any form.
Following are some of the
main features governing the new
tobacco law:
Every person or firm handling
tobacco in any form, in the State
of Idaho, must have a license.
The penalty for operating with
out license is fine of not less
than 500 nor more than $500 or
jail, not exceeding six months,
or both.
The license must be conspicu-
ously displayed in place of bus
mess where tobacco is sold. If
you have more than one store
you must have a separate license
for each store.
All licenses expire on Decem-
ber 31st, the year of issue. The
license fee is $50, and a bond of
$500, whether a whole year or a
part thereof, but for the balance
of 1921 the fee of $50 is required
and bond of $500.
A license can be transferred
by returning the original license
to the Department and the filing
of a new application and new
bond by the transferee.
The penalty for violating the
laws pertaining to the sale of
tobacco cigarettes to minors is a
fine of not less than $50 nol
more than 800 for the first of
fense and not less than 500 nol
more than $500, and by imprison
ment in the County Jail for q
period of not to exceed six
months, and the forfeiture OF
your $500 bond on conviction.
If your license is once forfeit,
ed you cannot secure another
license for five years from date
of forfeiture.
A minor cannot have tobacco
in any form in his possession
1t is a violation of Chapter 26z
to allow a minor to smoke or use
tobacco on your premises.

WILL POISON ON
VACANT LAND
u. S. BIOLOGICAL DEPT. TO
PLACE MAN HERE TO
POISON SQUIRRELS.

If the hundreds and thousands
of ground squirrels that infest
Camas Prairie are to be exter-
minated this season the Idaho
County Farm Bureau must have
the cooperation of every farmer,
no matter whether he resides on
decided land, government or school
lands, Indian lands or lands be-
longing to unknown owners.
Squirrels are plentiful in this
section this year and already
hundreds have been killed off,
but unless eternal vigilance is
employed thousands of dollars of
damage will be visited upon the
farmers. Through the efforts
of the Idaho County Farm Bu-
reau and the County Agent,
Pavey, the u. S. biological de-
partment will put a man in Idaho
county to take care of the squir-
rels on the vacant lands. Re-
Gently the biological department
put the proposition to the farm
bureau in the following manner
'The government will poison and
eXterminate squirrels on its land
where it adjoins decided land that
is poisoned. The government
will furnish the poison and oats
and place a man in the field to
assist in mixing and the distri-
button but makes the demand
that farmers who have adjoining
public land must poison their
squirrels and render aid in put
ting out the poison on the public
land. Furthermore the govern
ment will go over every piece of
land the second time"
If you want this work done II
is up to you to see your neighbor
and talk the matter over. Those
who get started in the campaign
first will not encounter the OBJ
stacles that present themselves
later iii the season.
This week letters were sent
out to all farmers who have
lands adjoining public lands in
which frank expression OF
their intentions along this line
is contained therein.
The county farm bureau ha:
the poison on hand at $500 pei
ounce and this added to II
quarts of oats makes 700 squir
rel bats. The county agent il
here to give mixing demonstra
tions. Notify him and he viii
be pleased to visit any commun
ity.

munity leaders in the differen
sections where organizations haI
been affected, see them for in

RESUME WORK
ON CONVENT
PLENTY OF MATERIAL ON
HAND TO INSURE NO
LOST TINE.

The few nice balmy days
which made their appearance
the first part of April had made
every one believe that spring
really was with us, and had part
icularly awakened the expecta-
tions of all those interested in
the erection of the New st.
Gertrude's. First to arrive on
the grounds was the highly eff
ficient architect and superintend
ant of the works, Engelbert Gier,
of Mount Angel, Oregon. accom-
panied by his son. Leo Gier. and
a crew of men to operate the
stone quarry. Within a few
days, more good mechanics,
among them several stand-bys of
last year, were also on hand and
the work was at once resumed
under the leadership of the COM
petent well-known foreman, c. c.
White, of Spokane. A hearty
welcome was extended to all
these gentlemen.
A thorough inspection of the
works brought out the fact that
not one single detail of the build
ing had suffered in any way
from the snow, frost, rain, etc,
a proof that the task of covering
the walls and protecting the
works had been quite well at
tended to last fall.
The progress of the construc-
ton was somewhat hampered
last year by the shortness of
help and the lack of readiness of
stones, but this is now practic-
ally overcome. From actual
prospects there should be no diff
ficulty to adding to the force OF
builders, as the needs may de-
velop; and as to stone question
much good work has been done
in the quarry during the winter
by the willing hands of the Con.
vents sturdy hired men
through their efforts a large
amount of good stone has beer
uncovered ready for quan'yinl
and hauling. Until now, blue
porphyry stone has been uset
exclusively in the building, but
another quarry of gool substan
tial Basalt rock having beer
opened, east of the convent OF
the property, much of it will b,
utilized since it is a rock of fin,
quality and easily dressed. A,
soon as the road will allow heavy
hauling there will be no lack O
good stones on the premises.
There is on the grounds {
large amount of sand. Lumbe
, and other needed materials hav,
been ordered and will be on hant
in due time. The large window
frames of the chapel have beel
put in place and soon will be in
closed by the intervening walls
The walls of the basement an,
,, the first story of the conven
} proper are completed and tn
, rough floors laid. A sixty foo

, few days, by means of whicl

upper stories of the conven
which it is the intention to CON
