Poultry Plans Go
Forward Rapidly
New Idaho Association
Prepares Contracts;
Name Selected

The Idaho Oregon Egg producers
will be the official designation OF the
new egg marketing association which
will succeed the Idaho branch OF the
Pacific Cooperative Poultry Produc-
ers whose contracts expire January l,
1924.
Plans for the new association are
going ahead at ful speed. according to
Prem Moore. state poultry specialist,
who was in Caldwell Thursday. Con-
tracts are now being drawn on five
year basis with the privilege OF with
drawal the first of each year. prcvid-
ing notice is given before October |
each year. according to Mr.. Moore.
Finances. the stumbling block that
must be overcome to satisfactory or
ganize a strictly Idaho egg marketing
association, are believed now to be on
a basis that will permit all to join.
Memberships have been fixed at s.
and with the additional stock sale en-
bodied in the contract, i; is believed
this phase OF the new organization
can be satisfactorily worked out.
Idaho directors in Caldwell Thurs
day included A. f. Talcott. Archie
Larson of Weiser and Prem Moore.

FARM MARKETS
GIVEN THOUGHT
Distribution Real Prob.
lem; Passing Laws
Doesn't Help

Distribution OF farm products TO the
end that the producer might get the
largest possible return from his pro-
duce formed the basis for several
short addresses at the Kiwanis lun-
eheon Thursday Among those dis
cussing this problem were +. A. Jeter
secretary OF state. and c. J. Hurd,
head of the o. A. c. department OF
marketing and one OF the recognized
authorities on this subject.
Less political agitation and more
constructive thought along economic
lines" was the remedy he submitted.
Professor Hurd ridiculed those who
are inclined to seek legislative help to
cure economic ills Laws won't make
loganberry bushes produce, he said,
nor will they materially help in mar
keting the crop
Prunes. he said, are not popular
enough in the United States. The per
capita consumption is only u pounds
per year. This. Professor Hurd
thinks, might open a market for the
big Idaho and Oregon surplus.
Somewhat different viewpoint was
taken by Captain Jeter who discussed
briefly the probability of congression-
al action along marketing lines this
winter. Washington. he said. is Civ
ing serious consideration to this prob
lem. 1t is quite probable that a fed
eral bureau will be organized for aid
in the distribution of farm products.
Secretary Herbert Hoover and DIR.
Hubert Work are both favorably inn
pressed with this plan and will ad-
vocate il.

NEW PROPOSAL
ADVANCEDFOR
PROJECT HELP
Counter Proposition In
troduced and Endors-
ed by Water Users
Here Thursday

That the proposition offered by
Miles Cannon, for relief OF the Boise
project will not adequately relieve
those delinquent in payments formed
the basis for new proposition sub
mitted to project settlers here Thurs
day afternoon by L. J. Magee secre-
tary of the Payette Boise Water Users
association. This proposition, endors-
ed as a basis for negotiations with
Mr.. Cannon at an overflow meeting
held at the American theatre, carries
with it some radical departures from
Mr.. Cannon's original proposition.
In introducing this proposition. Mr..
Magee said briefly that he continued
his opposition to an irrigation dis
trict-one OF the essential features OF
any settlement with the reclamation
service-and that If he were to trade
relief for a district, tangible relief
must be offered. This proposal
follows;
Whereas. the condition OF the sett-
lcrs on the Boise Project is such that
it is impossible to meet the charges
to the Government as they become
due, and
"Whercas, relief from this condi-
ton has become necessary and that
the construction charges be returned
to the Government over period OF
not less than forty years. and
"Whereas, the Commissioner of
Reclamation has announced that he
has been authorized by the Secretary
of the Interior to negotiate a contract
with the settlers on the Boise Pro-
ject. giving the relief that is required
by the project settlers and
"Whereas. District counsel has
stated that under the present law the
Secretary has the authority to with
draw public notice and also stated
that it would be impossible under the
proposed contract to reduce the annual
charges to the United States by more
than four dollars per acre per year,
"Now therefore be it resolved. That
the regular Board OF Directors OF the
Payette Boise Water Users Associa-
ton, representing large majority I
the water users OF the Boise Project
submits the following as the basis and
upon which a new contract shall be
written:
1) That the public notice be with
drawn for a period of five years, dur
ing which no construction charge will
be paid.
(2) That the penalties on accrued
and unpaid charges be cancelled.
(3) That all accrued and un~aid
charges be added to the construction
charges not yet due,
(4) That no payment on account
of construction shall exceed Sl.50 per
irrigable acre in any one year,
(s) That payments heretofore made
on account of drainage be credited on
construction charges,
(6) that the operation OF the project
be turned over to the district,
(7) That no overhead charge Tor
detached Offices shall exceed Sl,Ooooo
pcr wear and that for inspection only;
(S) That the district law provid-
ing blanket obligation be waived and
only individual obligations as at pres
ent be provided
(o) That all property, real, per-
sonal and mixed. charged to the DIS
trict lands shall become the property
of the District, including water and
water rights;

Like all things else in the world, the

Another detective, connected with a
nationally famous agency, man famil-
lar with the criminals of two decades
ago ands those of to-day, when asked If
there were any clever criminals left

There were clever crooks in the old
days." this man went on, "and there are
clever crooks to-day Crimes have
changed and the types of criminals with
them, but the confidence man or the loft
robber or the safe ripper of to-day is as
clever as was the green goods man or
the safe breaker or the jewel robber of

Wiretapping, it is true, is still as good
as it ever was. In fact, it's the most
common form of confidence game now

as a pool room, get hold of a gullible
stranger, and convince him they have
advance information on the races

they let him win first, or maybe not. In

The corporal of the American boys
quickly whispered:

The German interpreter began long
line OF queries. Finding they couldn't be

to the boys:
Come wild me-"
He led the boys to the Generals quar-

stout, good natured officer After hear
ing the interpreters story, the General
began by greeting his prisoners in most
affable manner assuring them no harm
would befall them. ~

tinued the General.

How many men in your diwision?"
continued the General.

And to each and every question the
General received the same answer.

recovering his amiability, said

the man who sold it to him.
''The bank burglar of to-day doesn't
stack up so well with the bank burglar
of the old days. In the first place, he's
a vault breaker to-day rather than
safe breaker. The old time safe breaker
was skilled mechanic and high class
clever crook. The invention of the So
called burglar proof safe and the use of
time locks. and burglar alarms of var
ious sorts have made bank safes almost
immune from the attacks of burglars.
"The only banks that ever have their
safes burglarized to-day are those in
small suburban towns. The modern
city bank usually has a safe that would
be proof against the best of the old
timers. The last word in modern safe
making. the safe with the tubular door
of manganese steel, is proof against
nitroglycerine and the oxacetylene torch.

Bad Colds Worse
For Hotel Coughers
Patient Might Get Sympathy
at Home. but at Inn He
Disturbs Guests.

Under any circumstances a spring
cold is trying, but particularly SO when
the afflicted one lives in hotel Sur
rounded by solicitous family, amid all
the comforts of home, the situation as
sumes a more cheerful aspect. It's sur
prising how tea tray temptingly laden
with invalid delicacies, the solace of
well marked book and occasional in
auiries as to ones health alleviate such
woe.
Nocturnal fits of coughing untirlely
sneezes and other unaesthetic phases,
rcondoned by ones family, are not
,1ated so alphabetically by fellow
Euests The helpless offender is greeted
by chilly stares.
While the corridors Of an excellent
middle class hotel echoed with hoarse
coughing at the peep o. dawn, one
guest. an elderly woman from the mid
die West, gathered the courage of E~r
convictions. Wrapped in a pious look
ing bathrobe she opened a creaking
door. cautiously peered the length of the
hall and tiptoed to the door whence is
sued rasping volleys of sound.
Here, sir she said somewhat tremu-
lously. 'is some cough medicine I've
brought you. Use All you Heeo anu
Just leave 1t at my door--across the hall

.The recipient mumbled thanks. and
evidently imblbed the draught 10 some
purpose, for presently the coughing
ceased, permitting harried dodgers to
snatch much needed forty winks."
An amiab1e old gentleman deposited
a small bottle at the volunteer medico's
door bright and early next morning,
putting audibly from STOPPING, just as
the worthy lady sailed forth to break
fast.

came to my picture in the gallery and
said: "Now, you see in this picture that
the artist has not learned his trade-it

clouds look like bits Of paper stuck on

would not object to the fly had he been

This Is the Day of
the Drug HoLdup.

zone thing l will say. There's big
difference in the number of common
ordinary stickup men and the number
of holdups between the present and the
old days There never were so many
holdups, and the big difference between
the holdup man of to-day and his coun-
terpart of yesterday is that the modern
crook shoots to kill, and he doesn't need
much of an excuse. You'll notice time
and again in the accounts of holdups that
the victim was shot down for utterly no
reason, The old time burglar or holdup
man almost never shot to kill. If he used
a gun it was as a last resort when he was
in a tight corner. Dozens of the old
time criminals pulled off big jobs UNI
armed.
"I can't help thinking that drugs have
a good deal to do with this change. Drug
addicts go out to stick a man up for the
money to buy drugs, and they're so nerv-
GUS and on edge that at the slightest sign
of resistance or even the least suspicion
of it they shoot. Half the time they are
actually crazed by the use Of drugs or
by the necessity for them They are al
ways armed and in their state of mind
and the nervous condition they are in
human life means nothing, and the fact
they're letting themselves in for the chair
means nothing to them
another change from the old days is
in the smaller number of cases of break
ing and entering in the country as a
whole There are fewer burglaries of
private homes and Of small stores. The
petty thievery that followed the migra-
ton of the hoboes of old times from one
part of the country to another is not so
prevalent to-day.
"But all things considered, still would
repeat what I said before. There were
clever criminals yesterday; there are
clever criminals to-day. There will be
clever criminals tomorrow too"
