Boy Scouts Need Work

The Boy Scouts summer camp starts
the first week in July and many local
Scouts will have to earn the money
necessary for their board, which is
$500 the first week and $500 per
week thereafter.
Anyone having work that can be
done by Boy Scouts will confer a
favor upon deserving boys by advis-
ing 0. F. Howe or ]. B. Cowen. These
boys are those unable to secure steady
work and will NOW lawns, run err
rands, do garden work or any other
work they can do.
Local people are urged to bear in
mind that the Boy Scouts are willing
and anxious to do all sorts of odd
jobs and that boys can be secured
through Mr.. Howe or Mr. Cowen, who
have the names of boys wanting work.
Parents of Boy Scouts should also
try to make arrangements for their
boys to attend the annual Scout en-
campment to be held on Lake Pend
d'Oreille, at Standpoint

POLITICIANS AT
BOISE AREBUSY
THE 1922 CAMPAIGN WILL START
IN EARNEST NEXT
MONTH
C. C. MOORE REPUBLICAN CHOICE
Moses Alexander Scheduled TO Head
Democratic Ticket.

BOISE, May 22.-The state cam
paign will be on in earnest between
now and the first of June, with both
parties, democrat and republican, with
headquarters here and campaign man
ayers in the field.
The Liberals" made up of those
who believe in the principles of the
Committee of 4S, and the former fol-
lowers of the Nonpartisan league, who
still cling to the teachings of that
party, plan a state convention and the
opening of state headquarters and a
three-cornered fight is looked forward
to. It is felt that the third party will
pull away more from the democrats
than the republicans in the coming
campaign and that the third party will
gain most of its strength in the way
of reflections from the democratic
party
The republican party in the state
will depend more on the established
machine than any other one thing to
continue in office while the democrats
expect state wide organization.
Publicity will be a feature in the
campaign The democrats will ask for
tax reductions the doing away with
the state constabulary, the commission
form of government and a promised
reduction in state appropriations.
The republicans on the other hand
will endeavor to show that the state
taxes in Idaho are lower than those
OF any other state in the northwest
that the taxes are the direct result of
authorized bond issues on the part of
the people themselves and that the
state government of Idaho is efficient
and economical.
Moses Alexander, former governor
Will more than likely head the state
democratic ticket, while Lieut.. Cover
nor G. c. Moore of St Anthony. to
this time, is the only republican can
didate for governor who is being CON
sidered.

Applies for Patent ON
a Battery Improvement

By the recent receipt of a letter
from the patent office, Jack Poland
proprietor of the local battery sta
tion, is assured that his application
for a patent on an improved terminal
connection for the wires which carry
the current from the battery to the
starting motor of an automobile, has
been received there and properly filed
Mr.. Poland, who spends most of his
time repairing and caring for auto
mobile batteries, was not satisfied
with the arrangement for connecting
the cables commonly in use, and his
device is designed to insure perfect
contact with a minimum of trouble
IN connecting or disconnecting.
In non-technical terms the improve
ment consists of a terminal made in
clamp shape and split. A taper thread
is cut on the outside of the clamp.
When the clamp terminal is placed on
the battery post a taper nut is turned
on the clamp which draws it down
tight against the post making per-
feet contact The whole device is
placed at the top of the battery and
easily accessible and can be operated
with the simplest tool, just wrench.
the perfect contact prevents corros-
ion. The same device can be- applied
to- the connections betweenJthe cells
of the battery.
