CADETS FOR BOISE
HIGH SCHOOL BOVS
IS NOW PROPOSED
Conference to Be Held With
Adjutant General Follow
ing Meeting of Students
on Plans.
An Independent movement ninong
rstP( j
number of the boys attending thei
Boise high school may result in the
organization of a cadet corps. An !
informal meeting of the boys Inter-j
held Tuesday. Later the,
matter was called lo the attention ef
Moody who
stands favorable to such a movement, j
It is understood that a large number|
of the boy students are anxious to]
secure the benefit of the military l
training that would be made pos-1
sible through the organization of I
a cadet corps.
The matter of organizing a cadet,j
corps was called to the attention ofj
! Oliver O. Young, principal, lie
| that one of the young men attending ! T
the high school had spoken to him
about it saying some of the boys were
considering the plan.
The movement is independent of the
high school proper," said Professor
Young. "Personally, I believe the mil
itary training the boys would receive
would be a good thing. A cadet corps
might have been taken up by the high
school itself, had it not been for the
fact I understand the federal officials
desire that It be made compulsory for
two years, and we do not care to malte
it so. That wus ane of the main rea
sons negotiations were not carried on
further. If the students of the school
! desire to form a cadet corps independ
ent of the school itself 1 can see no
j objection to it. Certainly the military
j training would be a very good ihing
j physically and otherwise for those
who participated. However, the high
] school itself has no connection with
'he movement."

Washington. Oct. 17. Alleged

j
at

munitions manufacturers have been

ury department today, of this sum.

HUNTER HUST WAIT
FOR SUN TO RISE
BEFORE SH001C
Fish and Game Department
Points Out Federal Pro-
vision Does Not Interfer
With State Law.
The state fish and game department
announces that it will enforce to the i
letter any violations of the game law ,
! prohibiting the shooting of ducks be
fore or after sunrise. The department
I
holds that the federal regulation which j
went Into effect Oct. 15 permitting the;
shooting of ducks a half hour before |
j sunrise, does not apply to Idaho. The
regulation is made subject to the pro
visions of state laws restricting shoot-i
l ing during that time. The Idaho law
provides that ducks can only be shot
I from sun up to sun down,
DEPARTMENT ATTITUDE PLAIN.
This department will enforce the
sta,f ' law. said t htef Clerk t'lift lo
saidfollowing receipt of a eommunica
! T * on from W ashington, relating to the
regulation, allowing a half hour for
shooting before the sun rises. "Tt will
be noted that this communication says
that the change in the migratory bird
law as adopted by the federal govern
ment is subject to the provisions of the
state laws. It will permit the shooting
of ducks in those states a half hour be
fore sunrise where there are no state j
laws specifically setting other hours. I
In states, like Idaho, the law says that !
ducks cannot be killed during the open
season except between sunrise and
sunset. This is the law that, we will
enforce. It will be noted in the gov
ernment statement that reference is
made to the open season in Idaho being
from Sept. 7 to Dec. 20. This is in
correct. The open season in this state
is from Sept. 16 to Dec. 31."
IMPORTANT TO SPORTSMEN.
The stand taken by the fish and
game department is of importance to
sportsmen in Idaho, not a few of whom
have been under the impression that
because of the government ruling they
can shoot ducks a half hour before
sunrise. Tf they do this, however, they
will he arrested by the state fish and
game department wardens.

PROBATE JUDGES ON
JUVENILE PROBLEMS
Probate judges at their first annual
(convention held at St. Antlu*> last
week gave practically all their time to
j the consideration of juvenile problems.
The results to he obtained b\ sending
ja delinquent child to the industrial
'school were freely discussed. Consid
erable attention was given to the re
sponsibility of probate judges in deal
ing with delinquents. The judges also
: took up tlie matter of what a commun
ity owes to a boy or girl who lias been
j at the industrial school ami returns to
his or her home afterwards.
"There were many problems to be
disrussed," said Judge K. H. Dunlap,
sp iiking of the convention, "but it is
hard t *» adopt any fixed policy. All
children are different ami each must be
studied and given special attention. We
exchanged views on the problems that
confront us and I am sure every one
in attendance at the convention was
greatly benefited."
It was decided that every other year
the convention will be held in St. An

MACHINERY TO REPLACE MEN.
Chicago, Oct. 17.—Machinery is re
placing man power on American rail- 1
roads. The shortage of men, owing
to the war, is forcing the adoption of
all sorts of labor savin* devices.
This was the principal conclusion
reached by the 105 members of the*
American railway bridge and building
association in convention here today.
