room, as a result of trying to inaugu
rate the two kinds of filings on two
loom work.
The weavers struck Immediately
Comrade Reid requested Of the men
to organize mass meeting and to
spread the strike to the whole mill
force. He addressed the meeting and
the strike became 100 per cent effec-
tive.
A Magnificent Spirit.
This is the first strike that has oc.
CURED in Middleboro. In spite of no
relief until the eighth week the solid
arity Of the strikers was superb
After the mass meeting there was
mass picketing, and Y. w. L. members

line along with the strikers.
There is certain to be a strong

2703 MILES IN
IDAHO FEDERAL
AID SYSTEM

The federal aid highway system il
idaho embraces 27S3 miles, according
TO statement from the bureau o.
public roads of the department of ag
riculture. OF this total, 800 miles
have been completed, ninety-siX miles
are under construction, fifty-four miles
have been approved for construction
and S505,91S is available for new pro
jects not yet approved for construc-
ton, says the statement.
This system of highways has been
designated by IGpho, Montana and
Wyoming, and approved by the secre-
tary of agriculture, as provided by the
federal highway act of 1921. Accord
ing to this act, state highway depart
ments were to designate a system of
roads not to exceed percent of the
total rural mileage, for improvement
with federal aid and on which the gov
eminent was to pay up to 80 percent
of the cost in the public land states,
where the amount was increased in
proportion to the area of unappropri-
ated public lands.
Appropriations for federal aid total
ing S540,000,000 have been made since
1916 In the states named the total
apportiOnment has been as follows !:
Idaho, $5,741,014; Montana, $9,241-
933; Wyoming S5,75097S. Although
two of the appropriations were made
before the federal highway act re-
stricted the expenditure to roads of
the federal aid system, by far the
greater part of the expenditure has
been on the designated system, the
statement sets forth
According to figures presented by
the bureau, 2737 miles of the 10,0O4
miles embraced in the system in the
three states are either completed, I'M
der construction, or scheduled at an
early date. In addition, the bureau
says the states have improved roads
on the system independent of federal
aid.
The whole federal aid highway sys-
tenn embraces approximately 10000
miles of road. A careful study is now
being made, the bureau reports, of its
present condition of Improvement An
approximate estimate, based upon in
studies, is that at the end of
he year there were about 10000 miles |
If surfaced roads and 500 miles of |
graded, which leaves more than 100,- |
100 miles yet to be Surfaced.
According to the bureau, to bring |
his system up to serviceable standards
within the full decade ahead, twill be
Necessary to surface nearly 1000 |
niles for each Of the ten years, this in
conjunction with additions to the sys-
EN-, the separation of grade crossings
and such other work
necessary.

MUCH INTEREST TAKEN
IN NEW POSTAGE STAMPS

Great interest is being taken IN
the three new postage stamps which
will soon be issued by the govern
of 1. and cents and will com,
memorate the coming to America OF
the Huguenots and Walloons and the
Booth anniversary of the settlement
of New York and the Middle Allan
tic states.
Government officials decl9re that
they will be the most beautiful
stamps ever issued by the depart
ment. In order that the historic
scenes which they will bear may be
shown more effectively they will be
larger than usual and oblong in
shape.
On the 1-cent stamps will be pic
tured the ''Nieu Nederlandt," the ship
which brought TO America in 1924
the first thirty-two families under the
auspices of the Dutch West India
company. Some of these families set
tied ON Manhattan island, others at
Fort Orange, now Albany, and still
others in different Atlantic States.
The 2-cent stamp shows the land
ing of the colonists at Fort Orange.
The 5-cent stamp is a reproduction of
a monument set up at Mayport, on
the Saint Johns river. Florida. by
the Huguenots who made in 1862 the
first attempt at a permanent settle
ment in what is now the United
States. They were mastered ny the
Spaniards in 1865.

GRANGEVILLE BOYS
TO TRAINING CAMP

pocatello Tribune: With notnlnt
narticular in mind other than de
sire TO have an enjoyable outing DE
fore entering for thirty days lnten
sive military training at the citizens
camp at Fort Douglas, Salt Lake, q
distinguished delegation from Grange
vile. one of north ldahos import
ant and enterprising cities, tarried q
while i'm Pocatello this morning. The
bows made the trip from the north
ern city over the North and South
highway and the excellency of that
thoroughfare is proven by their nav
ing successfully negotiated it IN a
.fBaby Lincoln" with -four wheels
and no brakes"
Leaving Grangeyille early Sunday
morning they made exceptional time
while travelling, but as is usually the
case with boys and car they had
considerable grief They sought to
pass Pocatello early this morning but
were unable to do so as their engine
objected about four miles out of town.
The North and South highway, they
say, is in fine shape and they feel
that the editors caravan to Grange
vile for the summer meeting of the
State Editorial association, will have
an unusual drive. Traffic over this
latest addition to the state highway
system is very heavy, they report.
This quick drive from the far north
ern point impresses southeastern Ida
no with the rapidity with which Ida
no is getting away from sectionalism
and is cementing herself into great
unit Only a few years ago such a
drive would have been impossible and
for that reason travel between the
two section was reduced to a mini
mum, as the railroad Schedule en-
tails considerable embarrassment.
Now the drive from Boise to Grange
Vile can be made in ten hours and
in that time it is pleasure. And
Boise is distinctly southern Idaho
and Grangeville is in the north.
Work is constantly being done on the
highway and when it is surfaced it
will be OF greater value than at pres

cation are James Geary, Paul Elm

And Raggedy Andy and the little fat
Captain made hard snow balls Of the

the fierce Brigands, not AFFECTING this
were very much surprised and they
howled and ran in all directions.
"Quick?' RaEgedy Ann called to
the little fat Captain and Raggedy
Andy. Hop upon the hobby horses
back and we win dash away through

SO the Raggedys and the little fai

fierce Brigands could wipe the chcco'
late ice cream from their eyes, the

were out of sight.

Brigands had to guess what way our
friends had Travelled. But luck was
with them and as they turned bend
in the path, there they saw Raggedy
Ann and Raggedy Andy and the little
fat Captain and the hobby horse eating
the ice cream from the chocolate pud-
die; only the fierce Brigands did not
know it was ice cream.
"Ha! Now we have them!" the lead
er of the Brigands shouted: Capture
them and we will tie them to a tree.
They must be very hungry when they
stop to eat mud from mud puddle.
SO we will not let them have mud to
eat until they tell us just where Watch
Tower Hill is and show us where the
treasure is buried! And all the fierce

I'VE must hurry and follow the Rag

leader of the Brigands said to the
others. For even if we have the. map
showing where the treasure is buried,
none of us knows where Watch Tower
Hill is, and the Raggedys may know
the place. So we must follow and
catch them and make them tell us
where Watch Tower Hill is. Then we
