LOCAL FIRMS
ARE BURGLARIZED
Night Prowlers Break Into
The White Swan Laundry
and the Boise Payette
Office

Tuesday night seemed to be the
star night for robbers in this vicin-
ity as was discovered on Wednesday
morning when the proprietors OF two
establishments found that their
places of business had been broken
into during the night and the cash
drawers and safes were ransacked in
quest of money and valuables.
w d. Clayville, proprietor of the
White Swan Laundry upon opening
up his establishment last Wednesday
morning discovered that the place
had been broken into and the i'm
truders had gone through practically
everything in search of money. They
gained entrance to the laundry by
breaking through the rear door.
They also tore the cash drawer open
and secured a purse containing about
two dollars and fifty cents No
clothing was taken insofar as Mr..
Clayville was able to discover with
out making complete check-up.
Aside from the tracks Of Ford
car, no other clews were left, but
local officers are now working on the
case.
On arriving at the Office of the
Boise-Payette Lumber Company,
Manager Lewis discovered on We'd
nesday morning that he too had been
among the victims Of the robbers.
Entrance there had been gained
through a rear door into the office.
The man had turned the safe on its
back, taken the front door of and
used a punch to remove the lock on
the inner door. In order to deaden
the sounds they had used a piece of
burlap to pound on. After a check
up it was found that they had Sc
cured approximately $27 from the
cafe, leaving number of checks.
On nearby desk Mr. Lewis had a
box containing quite a few pennies
md this also had been rified.
1t is believed that there we're at
least two men in the crowd as it
would have required at least two
men to lay the safe over on its
side.

NEED
GOOD DAIRY COWS
Profits Are Multiplied By
Higher Producing Cows;
If Interested Should see
County Agent

The average farm needs some good
dairy COWS, how many, to be deter
mined by the size of the farm, the
number of mixers, etc. The word
good should be underscored as the
following figures will show. A COW
producing 200 pounds of butterfat
per year, which is considerable above
the average of the milk cows in the
United States, would bring in about
$50 from butterfat and $40 from
skim milk as by product, total re-
turns 500. With feed cost at $50
the dairyman would have $50 for his
labor, Investment, interest, etc. But
supposing instead of 200 pound cows
they were 400 pound cows, the re-
turns would then be increased to
$500 per COW per year, allowing an
increase in feed cost up to SIS, the
net returns for the same labor and
practically the same investment and
interest, would be 1925 per COW. In
other words the increased cost of
more feed consumed by the higher
producer, of $25 would bring in SIS
additional revenue. The ratio of
profits increases very rapidly with
the increase in butterfat and milk.
The problem that confronts the
farmer is, how am l going to get
better cows? There are two ways,
buy them outright or grow them on
safest and cheapest is to grow them
your own place. OF these ways the
on the farm. True enough this is
the slow way but it is the cheapest
and the surest. The use Of purebred
bulls of good type and from high
ancestry is absolutely the
key to better producing cows. Any
farmer who will use the best of sires
and continue to constructively build
np his herd can soon have cows that
will be delight to him, and an hon
or to his community. Now is the
Tine to get your herd sires, the very
best is now being offered at very low
figures. If you interested see your
County Agent.

SCHOOL BUILDING
DECLARED UNSAFE
Another Examination of Lo-
cal School Building Re
suits in Statement that
Auditorium is Unsafe

In order to be thoroughly conver-
SAINT with actual conditions the
school board the forepart Of the past
week secured the services of Mr..
Scott of the firm of Scott & Welch,
architectural engineers, of Salt Lake
City, to go over the local school
building and make a report on the
condition. Mr.. Scott made very ex-
haustive investigation of the build
ing and on Wednesday reported to
the board that the auditorium was
positively unsafe. He recommended
the closing of the auditorium, the
tearing away of the present roof and
place a fat roof on the building,
thus reducing the weight. He also
recommended the abolishment of the
present electrical heating appartus,
the installation of better ventilating
facilities and the abollishment of the
basement rooms.
The board after seriously consider
ing the matter retained Mr.. Scott to
draw plans for the new building and
submit them together with an esti-
mate of costs in the next week or so
and it is quite likely that the matter
will be put before the voters in the
form of bond issue.
According to members of the
school board the local district is in
excellent financial condition, it is
stated that the tax this year has been
reduced two mills thus making the
total for maintenance 8 mills.

PRICES ARE GOOD
Close of Month of June
Shows Slight Increase In
Price. IS Wool Shows
Improvement

The month of June witnessed the
close of the California lamb market
ing season and, with the bulk of fat
lambs now coming into the State
from Idaho and other Northwestern
States, the market is about one-half
cent pound higher than at the close
of May. Good and choice lambs are
quoted at $500 to $1400 hum
dredweight at the Los Angeles Union
Stock Yards and conservative trad
ers believe that the right kind OF
tidyweights might sell at a higher
price. There is a good demand for
the comparatively few aged ewes Of
fered for slaughter, quotations ou
good and choice handyweight ewes
being conservatively made at $500
to $3.50. :
California exported something like
100000 lambs to the eastern markets

than in any preceding year. OF this
number, 254,OOO were shipped alive
and the balance were slaughtered by
California packers and shipped as
dressed product to the eastern con
suming centers-
The wool market showed some i'm
provement during the month, with
wool dealers showing a disposition to
once more enter the buying field. A
sale in the Bakersfield section is re-
ported by the California Wool Grow
ers' Association at S3 cents f. o. b.

desirable wool in the Fresno section
and a Stockton grower reports an
offer of 3S cents A lot of 25 bags of
heavy wool, six months fleece, was
sold June IS at Dixon at 40 cents,

MRS. &. c. ACHER IS WINNER OF
FIRST PRIZE IN REPUBLICAN CAMP AIGN
Subscriptions For so to 7t
Miles Were Gathered In
After Seven Weeks of
Hard Work

Mrs. G. c. zacher won first hon
ors in The Republican Salesmanship
Club Campaign, votes which were
counted by the judges Wednesday
night.
The judges, Mayor John shrum, Of
Glenns Ferry, A. F. Anderson, vii
lage Clerk, and Roscoe w. Smith,
Druggist, began their count soon af-
ter the close of the box and finished
in about two hours.
Attracted Much Attention
After holding the attention of this
entire community for the past seven
weeks and establishing a record in
the newspaper annals of this terri
tory, the last chapter was written
with the awarding OF the prizes to
the winners.
The final week of the campaign
when the balIoting was blind, saw
many members lending every effort
to gain the main objectiye-The
New Overland Standard Sedan. Other
prizes were equally as much to be de-
sired.
The campaign closed right on the
dot, when the judges who had been
appointed took charge and proceed
ed with their task. During the
evening they counted the millions Of
votes turned in by the candidates.
Systematic procedure marked their
efforts; their count was methodical
and business like. Theirs proved to
be a painstaking work and The Re
publican extends to them its most
sincere thanks.
Interest Keen
That unusal interest was taken In
the campaign was evident by the
great number of inquiries at the Of

notable. Rivalry was in

PALACE FIVE BREAKS
EVEN IN SUNDAY BILL

Palace Laundry tossers broke even
yesterday. winning 81 to II in the
night tilt with the Hagerstown Elks,
but taking a 33-to-32 defeat earlier
in the day from the 104th Medical
Regiment in Baltimore.
In the preliminary to the Palace
Elks game, the Aloysius Club of
Washington proved no match for the
fast Newark five of Baltimore, losing
12 to 81.
Hagerstown scored the first basket
of the game, but the accurate tossing
of Benzoni and Cooney. the midget
forwards of the Laundry quint, soon
placed the home team far in the lead
The score stood II to 6 at the half.
Excellent foul tossing by both
teams was a feature of the game.
In the preliminary Aloysius trailed
the visitors from the start. A light
ming attack near the end of the game,
after Emery Madder had entered the
contest, failed to improve the Big
Five's chances.
Poor foul shooting cost the Alloys
ians many points. Travers and
Scheurholz of the Baltimore team
shared scoring honors, accounting
for three two-pointers each.

GREAT YALE ELEVEN
WITHOUT REAL STAR
BY WALTER CAMP.

One of the most interesting points
which has been raised in discussion
of the writer's all-American team for
1924, is the fact that Yale, although
going through the season, tied for
leadership with two other Eastern
teams and undefeated all season, did
not win a place on the first all
American eleven.
Any one who studies the history of
Yale foot ball will realize that this
very fact demonstrates the greatness
of the work done by Tad Jones and
his assistant coaches. Having lost
practically all their stars, they de-
veloped in a period of great stress a
real team that finished a very shaky,
desperate season with a united. eff
fective organization, and defeated
both Harvard and Princeton.
Even these coaches were decidedly
''up against it" when they saw their
team barely squeak through the
Georgia game, Z to 6. heaved a sigh
of relief at tie with Dartmouth.
when the latter had the ball on Yale's
2-foot line with four downs to get it
over, and again went through another
tie game with West Point.
Certainly that team missed Mallory
Milstead, Stevens and Richeson, four
great men of 1928. But they had the
fighting spirit, and after seven weeks
of .agoniZing effort, developed co-or-
dination and came through a finely
working organization in spite of the
lack of outstanding stars.
