THE CITY BUSINESS

On Tuesday evening the city coun-
Gil had a sitting and authorized the
purchase of four sections of fire hose
each fifty feet long; granted per-
mission to the American Legion to
erect a steel fiagpole at the city park.
and studied the mechanism of water
meters to see which of two kinds
they would buy.
Installation of meters is going
along and is going to be pushed as
rapidly as possible. People who
have given some thought to the adj
vantages and economies of having
meters are phoning in their orders.
After a meter is installed on the
place, the sprinkling can be done at
any time it suits best. They can
sprinkle regardless of days or hours,
it takes the gamble and the waste
out of water service. When all OF
the waterusers are on meters it will
greatly reduce the cost of pumping
the necessary water and will enable
the city council to get the rates ad-
iusted to the lowest price that will
make the system self sustaining.
People who wish to help the water
committee take the losses out of
he system should phone in their
orders to the city clerk to be listed
or meters early.

SEED GROWERS PAID

Additional payments to the am
cunt of $25, 900 were made last week
to member growers of the Idaho
Grimm's Alfalfa Seed Growers AS
ISOLATION, according to a statement
by H. L. Kennedy, general manager
of the organization. A survey of
the acreage being utilized in the
production of Grimm seed in Idaho
and especially in Bingham county
is now being conducted but accurate
figures are not yet available.
Estimates based upon the survey
as far as completed indicate that at
this time there are approximately
5, 900 acres planted to Grimm seed
in Bingham county which includes
about 1900 acres of new sowing
from which seed will be taken next
wear. 1t is estimated that the acre
age from which seed yield will be
produced this year will show an in
crease Of about 500 acres over that
of last year. Reports show that in
Oneida county the acreage planted
to Grimm seed will this year total
about $500 acres as against 500
acres last year. A large increase in
acreage also is reported from the
Roseworth tract in the Twin Falls
section where approximately 1000
more acres are being planted this
year. The Roseworth tract Grimm
seed growers last year sold about five
carloads of seed from about $50
acres.

gineer F. A. Banks, an allowance OF
$4,000 of reclamation funds has
been set aside for surveys on the
Dubois project.
The land under consideration lies
in two bodies, both very irregular
in shape. One contains about 2OO,-
900 acres and extends from point
northeast of Dubois to Little Lost
River and south including much of
the Powell tract. The other lies
nearly eighteen miles straight west
of Blackfoot, reaching east, north
and southwest to point twenty-five

Business Women
to Help Students

The regular business meeting Of
the B. P. w. c.. was held at the
commercial club rooms Wednesday
evening. The matter of sending de.
legates to the state and national con-
ventiOns was discussed and it was
voted to send delegates to both
meetings. Mrs Grace Faulconer
was elected delegate to the state con-
rention in Moscow in June and Vera
Bentley was elected as delegate to
the national convention which will
be held in West Baden, Indiana, in
July. Blackfoot will probably be
one of the newest clubs to send a
delegate to the national convention
from this section. Both delegates
may we'll be proud of the club they
represent.
President Vera Bentley read a
letter from the national president,
Adelia Prichard, thanking the club
for the flowers sent during her visit
to Idaho and congratulating the club
upon its active local organization.
Mrs. Fred T. Dubois also wrote that
she had heard many good things
about the club and was glad to know
it is progressing so rapidly.
Each committee chairman explain
ed briefly the purpose of her COM
mittee and t he work which was
planned. Mrs. Grace .Faulconer,
chairman of the Educational COM
mittee expressed a desire to raise
4 fund which could be used in assist
ing girls and boys in securing high
school education. She stated that
n her work she found many worthy
students who were unable to con-
.inue their education because of lack
If funds and while the Rotary and
were assisting as much as
possible it was still impossible to
lelp all those who needed it. The
members of the club voted to stand
behind Mrs. Faulconer in her educa- !
ional program and that this project
hould be the one big object of the
hub when the fall meetings were ;
so that a few students !
night be helped during the coming !
chool year and the work increased !
IS rapidly as funds we're available.
1t was decided that no business |
meetings should be held during
une, July and August and that all
BUSINESS matterS, except those of
nusual Importance, be tabled until
he first meeting in September. The
rst meeting in June, which will be
cid on June 2, will be in the form
( picnic lunch in the park with
ames and amusements following
he lunch. Julia Bithell will have
barge of the lunch and Ruth Chap
ian will arrange the program.
Jessie Lloyd explained mem
lethOd in raising funds in the form
( an Earn two dollars different"

lrs In some manner different than
ne earns her living. She suggested
lat we carry out this campaign dur
lg the summer months and that the
loney be turned in at the first meet 1
lg in September for the purpose of
eating an educational fund. Each
lember will be asked to explain /
lst how the money was earned at

WEDNESDAYS COW SALE

OF the forty-six dairy animals put
on sale at the drawing on Wednes-
day afternoon, 29 of them were TAX
en- in the regular drawing, and
others went at private sale following
the drawing.
About hundred and fifty people
assembled for the event, most of
them farmers and farmers wives,
and some members of the families Of
the men in town who have been ac-
tive in the work Of the Cow Corpora
ton that organized for the purpose
of shipping in good dairy stock for
selling to individuals. One man
could not go abroad and select and
buy a few or for his neighbours, and
the Cow Corporation undertook to
act for all such persons as might
wish to buy when the cows arrived.
The arrival of the two cars of
dairy cattle was the result of several
months of study of how best to get
such stock here and be sure that 1t
was good stock, free from disease
and delivered here at right prices.
Much time was spent in finding re-
liable breeders from whom to buy
animals, and men serving on the
board of directors have donated
great deal of time to the project
for the sake of getting the dairy
business started of right in this To-
cality. The animals shipped in now
will help form the basis of future
breeding, and the herds they came
from II satisfactory, will be drawn
upon for futures, so the people buy
ing this stock are receiving the bene- |
fits of careful study by good business
men and the experts they consulted |
and employed to go and study the
all things affecting the purchase,
shipment and delivery of the stock.
In carrying on the. work they have
consulted with experts from the
county, state and federal bureau OF
agriculture and those who have had
20 do with stocking successful dairy
in other places, and
Ill such experience has been gone
over and used to protect the pur-
chaser of the animals brought in
he present Offering.
The work was done or led by such
nen as Neil F. Boyle, H. D. McCOsh-
I'M, C. C. Clark, v. C. White, L. B.
White and others, with Miss Grace
Peck secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce using the facilities of the
Tub, and many business houses loan
ng funds without interest to finance
t. Failing to secure enough funds
he directors gave their personal
totes for the remainder that was
leeded for putting the project
cross.

ought in the wednesday sale.

Lodge Desk Long Used
by Bay State Members

ate chamber used by the late Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge during many years
Of his service In that body was the
same formerly used by two other dis
tinguished senators from Massachu-
sets, Charles Sumner and George
Frisbie Hoar. There Is a report about
the Capitol that at time even earlier
the Lodge desk was used by Daniel
Webster.
When the senate vacated the cham
Der now occupied by the Supreme
court and moved to its present quar-
ters In the new wing Of the Capitol,
the desks, including that which Sem
ator Lodge used and which had long
seen service. were retained. As new
states were admitted into the Union
and new senator's entered the chamber
desks Of the same style were construct
ed for them.
These relics are highly cherished by
the senate, and It has been the un-
broken rule, so far as the memory Of
the oldest senate employees runs, to
refuse permission for the removal Of
any Of them.

Breed Chickens Immune
From Auto JuRgernaui

Bloomsbury. Pa.-"Automobile NOR
tality" as one Of the chief sources Of
loss to poultrymen is being fought by
farmers of this region. and two pro-
tective steps are being taken. One
is the removal Of the chicken pens to
points far distant from the road, and
the other the breeding of birds that
have shown, under observation, a
readiness to stay on their own side Of
the road when an automobile comes
along.
Tests made with nearly 100 focks
Of a certain breed revealed only half
dozen chickens which went across the
road. With other breeds, there were
less than half dozen of entire focks
along the road which did not try to
cross. Some of the farmers are not
slow to realize the difference and are
turning to those breeds which "stay
put and avoid the losses.
On farms along main highways the
losses to focks from motor cars has
been as high as 35 per cent. In some
cases a single passing automobile has
killed four chickens.
