Contracts and Things

Perhaps the Free Press doesn',
know that the county commissioner
have sold bonds to retire warrant in
debiedness of the county. More likely,
though, the Free Press doesn't wan,
to know 1t. or, knowing it. wants the
subject kept a secret just as long as
possible
The Tribune has no quarrel with
the sale. The offer that the county
commissioners accepted is a good one.
Even If 1t were possible to better il.
the successful bid could not greatly
improve the conditions for the county
under which these bonds have been
contracted for sale.
But The Tribune does protcs, the
method OF sale Not only are the
commissioners today absolutely with
out power to abide by the contrac;
that they have negotiated, signed and
sealed, but every Idaho law governing
the sale OF securities has been fagrant-
ly ignored. Bonds are properly sold
when they are available for sale. and
when they have been duly advertised
Competitive bidding for bonds means
something more than merely grabbing
at the FIRST favorable offer that shows
its head.
When asked at a recent meeting OF
the kiwanis club here il statements
made in The Tribune to the effect that
Tie commissioners had already nego-
iia'ed the sale OF these bonds. Mr..
Beck. chairman of the board. admitte 1
hat contracts had been signed. But.
he continued, better offers might be
made and more favorable terms OBJ.

Which seems to mean, in brief tina,
while the commissioners have con-
raeted for the sale OF the bonds. II
hey can get a better offer. this con.
raoi will automatically become null

we are trying TO make. Nampa and
this part OF Canyon county are IN the
highway district. Under the law the
road taxes raised within district be-
long 10 the district and II Is not re-
CURED TO pay county road taxes. This
OF course. is only justice. Under the
law this district issued hall million
in road bonds and has levied taxes Tor

Il is a heavy load. but our people
wanted good roads and have assumed
the burden uncomplainingly The
rest OF the county outside OF the road

they were built beyond the available
funds and deficiency warrants issued

than you could buy ready-made for
three times the money. Teatea pleas

gives almost immediate relief. 10

Today I am going to give you what
she says of the Indian Time:
Indians told the time of day by
the sun; counted the days by sleep,
calculated the months by NOON
(making thirteen), and scored the
years by winters. The new year be-
gan in March. Different tribes had
different names for the months. The
Natchez names were:
Deer Moon-March.
strawberry Moon-April.
Little Corn Moon-May.
watermelon Moon-June.
Peach Moon-July.
Mulberry Moon-August.
Great Corn Moon-September.
Turkey Moon-October.
Bison Moon-November.

break at the close of winter, when
supplies ran low)."
We will take up their history
again next week.

times a splash like that meant that
food had fallen in the water. Almost
at once he saw something coming
down through the water that made
his eyes grow bright with eager
ness. It was an earth worm. Yes,
sir, it was an earth worm, and it
was wriggling in the most enticing
way. Spotty likes earth worms.
Sometimes after heavy rain many
of them are washed into the Laugh
ing Brook and come down into the
Smiling Pool. Then Spotty joins
with the fish there in having a
feast.

ing, and somehow he had had no
luck at all. Every pollyw Jg he had
tried to catch had been too nimble
for him. He had succeeded in nip.
ping off the tail of one and that
was all. This had just made him
hungrier than ever.
To be sure there were water
plants which he could eat, but he
wasn't feeling like water plants.
"I'll fill up on them if I have to-"
said he to himself, "but I don't
intend to unless l have to. 1t is
queer where all the insects have
gone to- Usually there are plenty of
little fish, but for some reason or
other they are all hiding. Ha! So
that's itr'
Spotty had discovered a big ugly
looking head thrust up from the
mud at the bottom of the Smiling
Pool. He. knew it at once for the
head Of his big cousin, Snapper the
Swapping Turtle, and he knew now
why those little fishes were hiding,
and why the tadpoles were keeping
buried in the mud, and why he had
had no luck in finding insects such
as live in the water. It was all be-
cause of that ugly looking, big
cousin Of his.
Spotty swan away to another
part of the Smiling Pool. He
popped his head out of water for
fresh air and for look around He
was just in time to see Farmer
Browns Boy come to the bank OF
the Smiling Pool. Unlike Peter Rab-
bit and so many other of these lit
tie people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows, Spotty was not
acquainted with Farmer Browns
Boy. OF course he had seen him
many times at the Smiling Pool,
but he never had really made his
acquaintance. So Spotty was dis.
trustful. He dived at once, and
went clear to the bottom. Down
there he couldn't see Farmer
Browns Boy, and knew that Farm
er Browns Boy couldn't see him.
So he no longer gave Farmer
Browns Boy so much as a thought
He continued to hunt for something
to eat.
It was not long after this that
Spotty heard a little splash in the
water up above him. AT once he
turned to see what it meant. Some

This was the dream Of st.
Peter, hungry on the housetop
in Joppa: great sheet let down
from heaven, full of all manner
of flesh, fish and fowl, and the
divine command, Rise Peter:
kill and eat.%
1t was a sign Of the falling of
that wall which had divided the
Jews from the Gentiles mainly
on the ground Of the kind OF
food they ate.
Peter objected because he was
conservative.
But the inward voice told him
that conservatism of that type
was opposition to the Divine
Will.
God fulfils himself in many
ways.
Lest one good custom should
corrupt the world"
Peters dream is a moving pic

Christ:

This dream Is a proclamation
of liberty from those faddish
rules like vegetarianism which
judge a man by what enters in
to his mouth rather than by

Cover Crops for the Pecan Orchard
J. A. M, Atlanta, Ca, writes:
have about forty acres in eight
year-old pecans, and am going to
plant about sixty acres more in
November. I am contemplating
some kind of a winter cover
crop. Rye and Vetch mixed, but
clover, yellow annual melilotus
and black medic have been sug-
gested to me. Which would you
recommend? Next spring 1 ex-
pect to turn under the land and
put in some kind of summer COW
er crop, such as soy beans. What
variety would you suggest? Do
these crops need incubation?
In your situation, We would ad-
wise that you plant rye and Vetch
as a winter cover crop. 1t is difficult
to obtain a stand of bur clover, es-
pecially in a dry fall. This is also
true Of yellow annual melilotus and
black medic. Rye, as you doubtless
know, is the hardest OF the cereals
and will generally give a good &C
count of itself even under unfavor
able conditions. Vetch is the hardi-
est of our winter legumes, and the
easiest to grow, if given a chance,
Our plan is to use three pecks to q
bushel of rye and we prefer the
Georgia or the Virginia varieties. Use
twenty pounds of vetch. The hairy
vetGh is the variety hest suited for
planting in your section Of Georgia.
Seeding may be done any time after
the 18th of October. Much larger
yields Of grain and hay nave been
obtained by us from the early plant
ing of these crops. This is an IN
portant point to bear in mind, as
many people defer seeding until De
cember and still hope to obtain an
abundant harvest. They are mis-
taken in this conclusion.
1t will not be necessary to inocu-
late vetch, and, of course, rye can
not be inoculated satisfactorily as it
is not a legume. The foregoing mix
ture is excellent for turning under
for the enrichment of the soil. Soy
beans will make an excellent crop
for the purpose you have in mind.
We recommend the Southern Profit
&c, the O-too-tan, or the Laredo as
being the best varieties for cultiva.
ton in Georgia.
