MEMORIAL FOR
MAJOR FRED r. REED

A movement has been started to
raise a fund for the purpose of erect
ing a memorial at the grave of the
late Major Fred r. Reed, of whom
it has been written: He gave his
life for IDAHO"
It Is not intended that the memor-
ial shall be unduly elaborate, but
merely Of character to perpetuate
in enduring granite the memory of
a man who did so much for his
state and to harmonic with the
prideful consideration of his efforts
by the public. 1t is to be from the
people of Idaho"
List Headed by Ell Korah
Ell Korah temple, of Boise, took
the subject up. Major Reed had
long been Shriner and in 1901,
1902 and 1903 was potentate of the
Boise temple. The local Shriners
believed, however, there were many
who would appreciate an oppor-
tunity to participate and, therefore,
decided to make their donation, of
$500, as part of a public contribu-

is headed with this $500, but with
the understanding 1t is not to be
considered as guide for any con-
tribution, which will be welcomed,
however small. The idea is that the
memorial be erected from the vol
untary contributions of individuals
and organizations.
A committee representing various
parts of the state will be named for
the Major Reed Memorial Fund, sub
scriptions to which will close May /.
Dedication Ceremony
1t is the present plan, subject to
committee approval, to make the un-
yelling dedication of a state char
acter, with the governor delivering
the address.
Charles L. Stewart, cashier Of the
Boise City National bank, and past
exalted ruler of the Boise Elks'
lodge, of which the Major was q

A flock Of pullets that can bs

Very few eggs are secured on the

is advisable, though not essential, that
the cockerels and pullets be separated

Avoid overcrowding at night. A coop
that will hold 100 young chickens will
not house properly more than half as
many growing pullets. Their maturity
will be retarded II too many are kept
together, or II they are annoyed by
lice or mites. Frequent inspection OF
the houses, especially after the pull
let's have gone to roost, Is advisable.
IL mites are seen crawling on the
perches or are found by careful in
spection Of the house, prompt meas
ures must be taken to kill them by
spraying the interior Of the house, as
advised by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, with crude pc

annoyance and retard growth and ma

ointment will clean up these pests on
the birds themselves.

countries, because the governments

to playing cards.
But the reason why certain other OBJ

Blackfoot Current Event Club


Altho the Blackfoot Current Event
club has been very silent member
of the Idaho federation, nevertheless
she has been very wide awake in
her work this year.
The first meeting was held Sep
TENDER 5 with a membership OF
sixty-seven. To date twelve new
members have been voted into the
club.
On the first Monday of the month
a general meeting is held. After a
musical program and business is fin
ished, one or two excellent papers
are read. The second Monday, the
study department meets. Mrs. G. A.
Hoover is the very efficient leader.
This year the Current History maya
zine is studied from cover to cover.
The third Monday the economic de-
partment, under Mrs. ]. H. Miller's
leadership convenes. The working
problems of the day are studied in
this department. The fourth Mon
day is devoted to music This year
the great operas are studied. A paper
on the life of the composers, a paper
on the opera, illustrated by selec-
tions on talking machine makes the
program very interesting.
Much interest is shown in all the
studies and with Mrs. Earnest Pear
son as president of the club the year
will close as one Of the most success
full years of the Blackfoot Current
Event club.

dimensions of the heating plant and
on the care that the operator is will
ing to give it, that it is not possible
to say in each case just what fuel
will give the best results. Under
general conditions, however, the Or
der given above is best. 1t is be-
lieved that coke may be relatively
easily obtained at almost any time
and it is recommended as a very sat
coal. cheaper than hard coal and is
easily fired in the house plant.
Coke may be used either alone or
in combination with coal. 1t can be
very satisfactorily used with the
small sizes of anthracite. One solu-
ton is to use about Is per cent coke
with % per cent pea anthracite. The
pea coal is used to keep the fire at
night and the coke is used during the
day time.
In burning coke. care must be
given to the air tightness of the fur
mace because air leaks will much
more effect q coke fire than coal
fire. The idea is to get the fire burn
ing well but not too high and then
regulate the heat almost entirely by
the ash pit damper. Very careful
regulation is required for best re-
suits.
Even the very small sizes of anth-
racite have been used in furnaces
with success. This is done by placing
in your furnace a sheet iron plate,
punched with one-half inch holes,
over the CRATE bars Though this
plate requires renewal from time TO
time. very little expense is added
thereby. The ashes are fine and silt
through the plate and CRATES III the
usual way. Simply the fact that we
hare accustomed to using large size
anthracite should be no reason for
suffering for lack Of heat this winter.

Maine Assessors
Problems to Be Taken
UD at Convention

The taxation of intangible property
and other problems which confront
the local assessors throughout the
State will be given thorough discus
sion at the sixth annual convention
of the Assessors association of Maine
which will be. held at the State
House, Nov. Z, s and .. An interest
ing and instructive program is being
prepared and will be given out within
few days.
The assessors conventions are held
for the purpose of getting the men
and women-for there are already a
few women assessors who levy taxes
together for the discussion Of the
problems which confront them. Many
of the speakers are members of local
boards who are able to present help
full suggestions and solutions of puz-
zling matters in their lines of work.
Other speakers are men who have be-
come known as experts in special
lines of taxation. 1t is estimated by
the State Board of Assessors that the
valuation Of the State has been in
creased by fully s75,O00.O00 through
the influence of these conventions.
Those who attend return to their
towns with better appreciation Of the
sources Of taxation and with wider
knowledge Of how to assess the val
uation.
The officers of the Assessors asso-
citation are: President, c. S. Stetson
of Greene. who was the promoter Of
the organization; vice president. r.
A. Ryerson of Auburn; secretary.
George w. Norton of Passport; exc
cutive committee. Messrs. Stetson,
Ryerson and Norton, Percy A. Hasty
of Dexter, f. A. Worthing of Angus
ia and Simon Delcourt Of Westbrook.
Mr. Stetson. who is chairman Of the
Board of State Assessors, has been
president of the association since its
origin.
