DAY
At CIVIC CLUB

Wednesday afternoon the Civic
club held one of the most interest
ing meeting since its organization.
1t was social day and the committee
in charge had a program of guess
ing games, which proved most in
teresting. A number of the ladies
came dressed to represent names of
books or some character in the book.
Some very beautifui costumes were
worn, Mrs. H. H. Eaton as Miss
Ainslee in Lavender and Old Lace"
wore a large lace shawl which had
belonged to her grandmother and
hand made, and a bit of lace to
match was pinned on her hair. Mrs.
A. F.. Anderson and Mrs. Eckstein
were Little Women" Mrs. Ander-
son wore her mothers wedding gown
which is over fifty years old 20
names of books were to be guessed,
and Mrs. Rich Thompson received
the prize for high score, and Mrs.
d. W. Latimore for low.
The next game was along the
same line, only PICTURES were pinned
on the wall to represent names of
books, 2S of these. Most of the pic
lures were easy to guess, such as the
Main Street, so much like our own
little main thoroughfare, but the one
that puzzled everyone was an old
white slipper with the heel hanging
loose, and it was to represent that
fascinating book, Lucille" The first
prize for this game went to Mrs
Eckstein and the second prize to
Mrs. House who only guessed three.
Mrs. John Caldwell read a very
interesting report, giving a history
of the library, after which the rel
freshment committee, Mrs. Stewart, /
Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Wetherell and
Mrs. Vance served the lunch

A lawyer thus illustrates the Ian

to give another an orange he would
simply say: Have an orange. But
when the transaction is intrusted to
a lawyer to be put in writing he
adopts his form: I hereby give and
convey to you, all and singular, my
estate and interests, right, title,
claim and advantages of and in said
orange, together with all rights, its
rind, juice, pulp and pips, and all
rights and advantages therein with

or kind whatsoever to the contrary
in any wise Notwithstanding.
And then another lawyer comes
along and takes it away from you.

IDAHO S0LON5 GUT
STATE TAX LEVY
nth SESSION ADJOURNS WITH
APPROPRIATIONS AT
S4,596,634.64

The tax levy for Idaho will be APP
proximately one-half mill less for 1923
than it was for 1922. A summary
Of the appropriation bills passed by the
seventeenth session of the legislature
which adjourned early this morning
shows that appropriations totalling
S4,596,6 34.64 were made and that the
general state tax levy will amount to
.00363, while last years levy under the
Governor Davis administration for
general state purposes totaled .00358.
Highway redemption leVieS, interest
and sinking the 3-8 mill levy for school
building purposes and the capitol sink
ing fund levy will bring the total to
slightly less than IL mill less than
last year. Decrease in valuations of
approximately $20,000,000 brings the
total of the levy slightly higher than
it would be if valuations had remained
the same.
The tuberculosis hospital appropria-
ton bill failed to come out in the last
hours of the senate's session.
The last bills to be passed by the
senate included the bill to reduce the
maximum county levy; a house bill
adding mills to school district levies
to provide high school tuition; the de-
ficieney appropriation; house meas
ure requiring hunters to get permits
sion TO hunt on private owned ground;
a $4,000 appropriation for vocational
education and the ad volorem tax bill,
calling for $1,575,000.
Action of the house in its last hours
made into law a bill providing for CO.
operative action between state, coun-
ties and federal government, to build
roads; the lawyer license bill and a
measure allowing probate judges to
work deserving husbands and apply |
their wages to the support of wife and
children.
The seventeenth session of the Idaho
legislature adjourned sine die at 1925
a. m. Saturday after the house had |
waited for two hours for completion |
of senate business and conference COM
mittees of both houses had deadlocked I
oyer the reduction of the salary Of
I. H. Nash, state chairman of the Re-
publican party and land commissioner.
The house had previously amended
the land departments appropriation
bill cutting the salary of the commits
sioner to $4,000 per year from $4,000.
The senate refused to concur but
finally adopted the house amendment.
Indefinite postponment Of the de-
ficiency bill also kept the upper house
in session when a battle was waged
to bring the measure back from OBJ

and the bill passed eliminating ac-
counts of those who had filed for re-

DAILY RANCH PAY CHECK

Last week we presented facts prov
ing the dairy her, when properly
handled would put the rancher over
the top with his financial problems
Any story about cows always has
"Kick" to it and this week our
story has a Scratch" to it because
it is about chickens.
The outstanding financial figure
in the entire agricultural world is
the hen. The poultry products OF
the country run into staggering fig
ures and is one of the few indus
tries that there is no immediate dan
ger of overriding, as our national
population is increasing faster in
proportion than tie poultry business.
The business as a rule is conducted
as side line, though in many in
stances it is specialized and in either
case where the rules of the game are
followed it is sure money maker
In the poultry business as well as
the dairy business there must be no
drones to eat up the profits. A hen
that does not clear 81 per year for
her owner is an Improbable servant
and should be cast into outer dark
ness.
The farmers family that does not
at least make enough off of the poul-
try flock to pay the grocery bills and
ordinary household expenses is eth
er too careless or too indolent and
don't know good thing when they
see it.
Every farm paper in the country
furnishes ample directions for the
management OF the flock so that
THE wayfaring man though fool
need not err therein
1t is therefore our purpose to urge
the industry as tonic for local f.
nancial conditions rather than at
tempting to tell you how to keep
your chickens from getting bow-leg-
ged or writing prescriptions for the
roup.
The returns from the flock are like
unto Professor Coue's propaganda in
that it is in Every way" an every
day" proposition. When all the far
mers on this tract give the proper
attention to the poultry business,
the out put will make it possible to
make car load shipments of poultry
to the most profitable markets as
well as making it possible to ship
refrigerator carloads of eggs from
which we can realize top prices.
Even under present conditions we
must not expect the local maket to
consume our egg or our poultry pro-
duction, and many of our ranchers
are making direct shipments and
making money.
One of the proper functions of the
Grange is to be in touch daily with
all available markets and furnish
this important information to its
members.
1t is useless to expect local mer-
chants to handle the entire output
as the local market cannot consume |

the bottom drops out of the price.
When we all get to pulling to-
gether in the poultry game, the large
packing houses will install a local
buying and shipping agency and we
will be on par with the rest of the
world in prices received.
In certain county where the far
mers were all broke the Bank put an
ad in the local paper stating that
they would give away thirty-dye set
tings of standardized eggs. The
only stipulation was the bank was
to receive one pullet from each
hatch. The pullets to be brought to
the bank in the fall when the poultry
show was to be held in town. But
instead of calls for thirty five set
tings 1872 came in. Out of the 1872
matches they received ninety six pull
lets which they sold at $3.50 each.
The poultry business received a great
boost that day and has been pay
ing business ever since.
A bank sheet for the year fol-
lowing showed that one dealer alone
paid out $14,O11.S1 for poultry and
eggs in the month of February.

HEARS Of MOSCOW And
is HEADED WESTWARD

The fame of Moscow as an educa-
tional center and a business point
has gone far, and one man who has
never been within hundreds of miles
of the city has been willing to lease
a building and make arrangements to
move to Moscow and enter business,
on the strength of the community's
reputation.
A short time ago J. H. Carpenter,
a resident of Nevada, wrote to Mos
cow regarding building where he
might open a confectionery. He was
told of the building recently vacated
by the Economical pharmacy, and
was informed tnat G. A. Hagan was
in charge of the building for the
owner, G. B. Holt. Mr.. Carpenter
wired Mr.. Hagan and secured lease
on the building.
The interior Of the building is now
being refinfshed, and Mr.. Carpenter
and his family are expected to arrive
here about the first of August There
are several children in the family and
it is reported that some of the child
rem are ready to enter the univer-
sity. Mr. Carpenter will put in a con-
fectionery, according to reports, with
a soda fountain, and will probably
later make his stock more compre-
hensive.

Inspector POINTS OUT
BENEFIT SANITATION LAW

Albert Fl. Wilson of Boise, chief
inspector in the state public welfare
department, has been in Moscow for
the past three days, inspecting local
markets, confectioneries and eating
houses. He states that most Moscow
places are found in excellent condi-
ton, although there were two or three
places where it was necessary for
him to give instructions to clean I'M.
The present law providing for
state inspection of places where food
stuffs are sold, or food served, be-
came effective in 1911 and Mr.. Wilson
states that there has been a wonder
ful improvement in conditions since
that time. At first there was more
or less resentment, but this has died
down and the dealers, as well as the
public, realize the value of such
protective law. Above all it has been
educational and has caused the peo-
pie to take a great interest in sani-
tation
'You will notice." said Mr.. Will
son, that there are fewer flies than
there used to be. The fly is the
carrier of diseases and when
you see his tribe decreasing you may
know that some steps toward clean
l1ness have been made. The death
rate, too, has decreased in Idaho ten
per cent since the present law went
into effect, II years ago. There is
no question about the law being one
OF the most valuable on the statute
books, and it is gratifying that the
public is so generally recognizing
its benefits, and that people coming
under its provisions are so willing
% comply with it,
Mr.. Wilson is visiting the various
Latah county communities on this
rip.

Opening GRAIN Price IS
UNCERTAIN; CONTRACT S3

With no new wheat yet on the mar
ket, there are no definite local quota
tIons and it is not known what the
opening price will be, although it is
generally believed it will be above
80 cents. Farmers are refusing to
contract and it is doubtful if there
will be any rush to sell on the OPEN
ing market.
Cutting has begun in some sections
OF Lata& county, especially in the
Genesee district, and by next week
harvest will be in full blast. Local
dealers are shipping in large quanti-
ties of tWlne, sacks, etc., expecting
the delivery at local elevators and
warehouses to be the heaviest in many
years.
The labor problem is giving the far
mers considerable worry, compare
lively few men having come into the
country so far for the harvest, and
those who are on the ground demand
ing high wages. The farmers, by CO.
operating with each other, will do all
the work possible themselves and
hold down the expense of labor as
much as possible.

MOVE FOR COUNTY
HEALTH NURSE
RED CROSS WOULD FINANCE
YEARS DEMONSTRATION
BRANCHES ARE INTERESTED

A movement is on foot for the Mos
cow chapter of the Red Cross to main
tain a public health nurse for one
year, as a demonstration Of what a
nurse would accomplish, especially
for children Of school age. Miss Ye-
teve Taake, Red Cross field repre-
sentative for Washington and Idaho,
has been at work in Latah county for
the past few days, and finds the SEN
timent among the members Of the
various Red Cross branches decidedly
favorable to such a move. Miss
Taake, with G. L. Butterfield, chair
man of the Latah county chapter, has
visited many of the branches in the
county, and arrangements are being
made for a mass meeting, to be held
early this fall, at which definite ac-
tion will be taken, looking to the en-
ployment of a demonstration nurse.
Miss Taake called attention to the
excellent work which is being accom-
plished in counties where a nurse is
mentioning especially
Whitman county, in Washington,
where Miss Edna Clarke of this city
is county nurse. The result in cor
rection of children's ailments, such
as bad eyes and other forms of weak
in school, are so noticeable, she
states, that the matter of the money
outlay is beginning to be looked up
On as unimportant. Practically every |
in Washington now maintains
4 public health nurse, and consider
able number of the counties in Idaho.
In number of counties the Red
Cross is furnishing money for the
salary of nurse for year, as
the county commits
;ioners taking UP the work at the end
If the year, if it is found that the
expenditure is justified.
The sentiment in Latah county
vear ago was strongly in favor of
public health nurse, but because of
he short crop and consequent scar
ity of money, no action was taken.
Miss Taake, before coming to Mos
ow, had been in the Occur d'Alene
district engaged in disaster work at
,urke and Mace, following the fire.
,he states that conditions were not
ad, and there was no unemployment
nd no trouble was experienced in
ousing the people. Emergency re-
ief was given by the Red Cross in
ases where people had lost their
ONES and household equipment. /
Miss Taake has visited practically c
very branch in Latah county and
vill now spend day in Moscow, con-
ulting with persons interested in the G
ublic nurse movement.
