SOME TALK OF CHANGE FOR
COUNTY OFFICERS.

Two years ago the county officials
| in the Ada county court house, with
hardly any exception, were candi-
dates for reelection and there was no
Opposition to their ambition along
this Inc. To give credit to the rumors
floating around one would be in
clined to think that in this year 1922
things are different.
There seems to be sentiment that
those in the court house should grace
fully retire and give room for some
other worthy individuals. Two years
ago the claim was made that the Off
cials had made good and should have
another term in recognition of their
valuable services, but some now feel
that the debt is paid.
| All the officials are, supposed to be
candidates for reelection except Pro-
bate Judge D. n. Miller, who will re-
tire after four years Of good service
Two Boise attorneys, Gardner G. Ad-
Jams and M. I. Church, are mentioned
to fill this position
| For County Treasurer, Ethel T..
Clark is candidate to succeed her
self, and Mrs. Lee Barber Council is
also a candidate.
For county commissioners the three
present officials are up for renomi-
nation. For the Third district, HB.
Illingworth may have opposition
from a Meridian or Kuna man, al
though this is only rumor. Several
names of Meridian men have been
mentioned in connection with the
commissionership including L. w. Al
Ilison, residing southwest of town also
the names of DIR. F. G. Burkhardt,
f. L. Gilbert, and Ed Crawford. Mr..
Crawford was at one time commits
sioner, and is well posted on county
lroad work.
Stephen Utter, of Boise, present
county auditor, will have competition
in case a Meridian man should enter
the race for that Office, and A. ID.
Stanton and j. nj. Dodds have been
mentioned as being competent. Their
names have also been mentioned for
county assessor, now held by W. A,
i Kincaid.
4 Under the convention system, Mer-
idian could secure recognition, one
man told the Times this week, but
under the present primary system il
4 will be hard for anyone not residing
In Boise to secure a nomination.

COST OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
WILL BE SMALL.

The proposed bond issue of $4,000
for the improvement of the mile Of
state highway thru Meridian should
be favored by the people for the
reason that no burden is nlaced on
anyone. II the adjacent property own
er paid for the Improvement it would
be different but the whole town is as
sessed for the Improvement and every
dollar of taxable property in Merid-
ian win bear share Of the cost.
The total assessed valuation Of the
town of Meridian, as shown by the
books in the Office of the county aud
itor is $633.155.0O for the year
1921.
To raise annually the amount of
$500 necessary to pay the interest on
the bonds, at 8 Ier cent, and $1,000
to apply as a sinking fund to pay the
bonds at the end of ten years, an as
sessment of 24c on the 500 valua-
ti0n will be- necessary, according to
the figures OF the auditor Or, for
instance, il a man has property of an
assessed valuation of $1,000 he will
pay S2.40 a year for the road inn
proyement for ten years, which may
mean only fraction of the amount
of benefit it will be to him to have
this road nsat in proper shape.
Another way to figure it is this.
In some localities certain road work
is done by each donating a days
work, to the value of SO. For this
amount the taxes on the Meridian
road Improvement can be paid by the
individual, and with a few cents to
spare.
AS far as the cost is concerned to
the individual, no one need vote
against the bond issue June 9th on
account of excessive taxes.

AL G BARNES BIG ANIMAL SHOW
GIVES SATISFACTION.

Those who are under the banner of
the society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals and protesting
against the exhibition of trained an
imals, would have a difficult time in
convincing anyone that there is
cruelty practiced OF the AL G.. Barnes
show. Among the animals is, for
instance, buffalo, now almost ex-
tinct. only a few being on the range.
A walk thru the menagerie is certain
ly a lesson in natural history. All
kinds of animals are here, including
"Tusko" an elephant bigger than
Jumbo, and LOTUS" trained hip
popotamus.
1t is evident that these animals are
more protected from harm than when
hunted in the jungle, and 1t is pos
sible that the menagerie has been the
means Of saving some of the species
|of animals from extinction.

TIME no POISON APPLE WORMS

The time for the application to fruit
orchards in the Meridian country of
the second spray to destroy codling
moth is June 10th, or anytime this
week, says the state department This
date is announced following extensive
experimentation in orchards. Traps
were employed to catch moth and de-
termine when the worm which at
tacks the fruit would hatch. In or
der to control the codling moth it is
of the greatest importance to prevent
the first of the early brood of worms
from entering the fruit. Both the fol-
iage and fruit of all apple and pear
trees should be thoroughly covered
with a fresh coat of poison Just be-
fore the young apple worms begin to
feed. Four pounds of powdered ar
senate of lead to each 200 gallons
of water should be used.

By the. time he married Mary, Todd,
who was neither beautiful nor gra-

as a necessity rather than as the ulti-
mate result Of love and romance.
Their courtship was long and SUI
fered many humps and separations

When Lincoln first met Miss Todd
she was only sixteen years old and
was being courted by Stephen Doug
