BEET GROWERS TO
SUBMIT CONTRACTS
Idaho Producers Agree
On New Terms For
Next Season

After considerable deliberation,
the sugar beet committee of the Ida
no State Farm Bureau federation,
has reached an agreement on the
type of contract demanded of the
sugar companies for the 1925 sea-
son.
This committee, representing the
beet growers of Idaho, favored re-
tention of the 1924 contract in sub
stance, together with SO per cent
of the market value of all syrup to
come from the beets.''
The 1924 contract was on what Is
known as the $3.50 basis. The
companies guaranteed the grower a
certain price for his beets, with all
over that amount to be divided
equally between the producer and
sugar company.
The demands for 1925 constitute
another point in favor of the farmer
for a return of SO per cent of the
market value of all syrup extracted,
and is expected to increase the rev.
enue slightly.
The following were in attendance
at the meeting which was held at
Pocatello Tuesday: Henry A.
Bjorkman of Central, president of
the Idaho Farm bureau; P. V. Nash,
McCammOn, secretary of the State
Farm bureau; John S. Eames,
Teton; George A. Pincock, Sugar

Elks Want Report On
All Cases Needing Aid

Inc COmm1CL00 from the BldChIOOt
lodge of Elks in charge of distribu-
ton of Christmas cheer in the ma
terial form of food, fuel, clothing,
etc., to needy families in the COM
munity, is asking cooperation of all
citizens of the town in their effort to
locate every case of need, that none
may be overlooked. 1t is stated by
member of the committee that to
date they have had no reports of
needy cases except through the
schools although they have publish
ed requests for such information as
will enable them to supply all cases
with their individual needs.
Every person in the town is ur-
gently asked to report at once any
information they may have of any
instance where family or individu-
al is in need. This report may be
made to any member of the COM
mittee of ladies in charge of the
work of looking after the needs in
the homes, any member of the Elks
committee or any member OF the
Elks lodge. If you don't happen to
know any Elk member just phone to
any newspaper office and the infor-
nation will be handed to the
proper person. Don't be afraid that
the case has already been reported
by someone else. The committee is
arranging all cases in alphabetical
order and there is little chance of
duplication but they would rather
have case reported a half dozen
times than to have any person de-
MED the pleasures of the holiday
season because of circumstances of
material distress.
Another thing the committee de-
sires to urge is that reports of cases
needing help be made at once. If
the need is urgent the case will be
taken care of Immediately and
prompt reports will also help the
lodge in it's work of packing and de-
livery of supplies. Don't wait I'M
til day or two before Christmas,
someone may be overlooked in the
last minute rush. Then there may
be very pressing need that can and
will be supplied Immediately. This
applies either before or after Christ
mas The important thing is to get
a report of the cases into the hands
of the Elks committee and the rest
will be taken care of to the end that
no single individual in the commun-
fly will be without a Santa Claus
this year. Members of the commit
tee of ladies are Mrs. ]. H. Early,
Mrs. H. d. MacCosham, Mrs. Mark
Mrs James Young and Mrs.
James Ryan.
Members of the Elks committee
are j. H. Early, DR.. w. S. Hoge, J.
M. Hartong, j. E. Estenson, j. A.
Stewart and L. B. White.
Telephone or give reports to any
of the above or to any Elk or any
office. No information
is given out as to the cases reported
or as to who made the report.
In addition to the more substan-
tial assistance to be distributed as
noted above, the Elks are also ar
ranging to see that the children In
needy families are assured Of visit
from Santa Claus on Christmas and
in this connection will appreciate
the donation of discarded toys for
The work of packing
the boxes and baskets will be done
at the Millick building, corner OF
Main and Bridge street and will start
Toys may be left at the
building or at the office of John H.
Early and will be received up to
Tuesday night but the earlier they
are brought in the better 1t Will be.

Exploration for Truth

Forewarned that the vice of the
times and the country Is an excessive
pretension, let us seek the shade, and
find wisdom in neglect. Be content
with a little light, so it be your own.
Explore, and explore. Be neither
chlded nor fattered out of your posi-
ton Of perpetual inquiry. Neither
dogmatize, nor accept anothers dog
matism. Why should you renounce
your right to traverse the star-lit des-
erts of truth, for the premature COM
forts of an acre, house, and barnf
Truth also has it's roof, and bed, and
board. Make yourself necessary to
the world, and mankind will give you
bread and, if not store of 1t, yet as
shall not take away your property III
all mems possessions, in all mems az
fections, in art, in nature, and in hope.

Home Fires Kept Burning

There are domestic fires burning In
Yorkshire today which have never been
out for hundreds of years.
At the old-fashioned farmhouses in
the dale of Yorkshire peat is still
burned. The fuel is obtained from the
moors, and stacks of it are kept by the
farmers in their stack garths. The
country roundabout is noted for its
griddle cakes, which are made from
dough baked in quaint pans suspended
over the peat fires, says the London
Times.
These fires are kept glowing from
generation to generation, and the son
warns himself at the fire which
warmed his sire and his grandsire's
sire and which will warm his son and
his sons son.
There is a fire at Castleton, in the
Whitby district, which has been burn
ing over 200 years. The record proba'
bly, Is held by farmhouse at Osmoth'
erly, In the same district. This fire has
been burning for 500 years and there
are records to show that it has not been
out during the last three centuries.

BOYS OF NATION TO
MAN MERCHANTMEN
Youths, Is to q, Are Of
fered Sailor Training.

Washington.-The first step In plans
to give the United States an American
manned merchant marine has been
taken by the shipping board under a
decision to place boys between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-three
years on commercial ships crews The
boys will be able to work their way to
officers berths through an arrange
ment by the industrial division of the
shipping board working in conjunction
with Its sea service bureau.
Under the plan, detailed Instructions
Of which have been sent to fleet cor
Doration district directors on the At
lantic, Pacific and gulf coasts, two
deck boys will replace one ordinary
seaman on all the governments mer-
chant vessels. They will receive a
thorough training and be given ex-
aminatlons for higher ratings.
The boys, who must be American
born or naturalized, will be paid $50
q month and receive the customary
subsistence. AS an ordinary seaman's
pay averages $47.50 a month, the total
crew pay roll will be increased only
$3.50 a month, the total cost for all
ships with the plan in full operation
being estimated at 100000 a year.
An applicant must be under twenty
three years of age, and while eighteen
Is fixed as the minimum age require
ment, the physical and mental devel-
opment Of boys at that age, the In
structions point out, will be consid-
cred as factor in making appoint
ments. Minors will require the con-
sent Of their parents or guardians to
ship as deck boys.
The sea service bureau has advised
masters and officers of the govern
ment'S merchant vessels that on them
will be imposed the duty Of training
the deck boys to become ordinary and
able seamen and later, as they develop
ability and experience, to receive
higher ratings.
The youths will be required to serve
six months before being rated as or
binary seamen and year before being
eligible for able seamen ratings
through tests prepared by the United
States steamboat inspection service.

When Ears of Godding
WiUes We're Cropped

The ancient Assyrlans, 2100 B. c.,
punished severely their gadding,
wasteful wives, according to writings
on clay tablets recently unearthed by
Doctor Hrozny, Czechoslovak archeolo-
gist.
If gadding wife went. to see an
other married woman in distant
house her ears were cropped as a
penalty. If husband found his wife
with another man he was at liberty to
kill or mutilate both.
A scold or reviler was separated
from husband and children and a
wasteful wife could be called to ac-
count before the authorities and d.
vorced. If the husband did not di-
vorce her she had the option of be-
ing a servant to the second wife. An
invalid wife had the same tragic OPP
ton, or she could go home to her ia
Their.
If married man was living in his
father-in-law's house and his wife died
he had the right to marry one of her
sisters on the same dowry.

incident Wei Called
Impossible, but True

Most persons can remember at least
one startling coincidence in their ex-
perience. The elder ]. Pierpont Nor
gan liked to tell of one lucky encoun-
ter he had while he was seeking pair
of vases to complete a set of Sevres
table decorations on which he had set
his heart. Collectors had been ram
sacking Europe for them in Mr.. Nor
gan's behalf, and then one stormy
night-as Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman
tells the story In From Pinafores to
POlitics"-he arrived in London from
Liverpool, having come from America
without warning the servants when to
expect him.
AS he ran up the steps and put his
latch key to the door a shivering figure
in the vestibule drew two vases from
under torn coat and murmured, i've
been going from house to house all
day; won't you buy these, sir? My
children are starving"
The light from the half-opened door
fell on what seemed to be porcelain
from the famous set. While the man
waited Mr.. Morgan rushed upstairs to
compare the marks. They seemed the
same, but 1t wasn't possiblel
How much do you want for them?"
he demanded when he came down.
The man asked small price, took
the money and melted away into the
night.
The next day all the London con-
noisseurs were at Morgan's house, ex-
claiming, ITS impossible, but true!"
The vases matched, and the set was
priceless.
Il wasn't expected in London" said
Mr.. Morgan. "The man didn't know
what Sevres was worth. never could
trace him. How did it happen2 Out
Of all London to come to my house and
at that moment !"-Youth's Companion

Cuckoo Superstitions

There are numerous superstitions
associated with the hearing of the
cuckoos first call. In the maritime
Highlands and Hebrides, If the cuckoo
is first heard by one who has not
broken his fast, some misfortune is
expected. Indeed, besides the danger,
it is considered a reproach to one to
have heard the cuckoo while hungry.
In France to hear the cuckoo for the
first time fasting is to make the nearer
IAN idle do nothing for the rest of the
year." or ito numb his limbs" for the
same period. There is a similar be-
lief in certain parts of the west of
England. In Northumberland one is
told, If walking on hard road when
the cuckoo first calls, that the ensuing
season will be full of calamity; to be
on soft ground Is lucky omen.

MILK MAKES GOOD
AS SUMMER DRINK

IF the nickles and dimes now spent
by children for soft drinks with little
or no food value were used instead
to buy wholesome milk drinks, the
health of the coming generation
would be greatly improved" says J.
L. Sammis of the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture in a circular on Milk
Drinks.
Delicious and refreshing milk
drinks can be made in a short time
either at home or at the fountain.
They are least expensive for the
money. Fresh whole milk, powdered
whole milk, or condensed milk may
be used with a large variety of flaw
ors to suit ones taste. Milk has no
flavor of it's own, and it is necessary
to add some pleasing flavor to i'm
prove its taste. Here is a sample
that anyone may try:
'Put few drops of any good
aavoring extract in a glass; add one
or two teaspoonsful of sugar; fill the
glass with cold milk. Add little ice
if you have it. The colder the drink,
the better you like it."
