Includes Immense Area.
This extension will irrlgate 600,
600 acr9s of good ground that at
present lies idle for want of water.
In the district covered by the
north canal already in commits
sion, the average s.rved is 24O,
600 acres. The south canal,
which also is in service, brings in
to agricultural use 100000 acres
more of ground. The Breneau
extension, which we will soon
proceed to build, will bring under
cultivation 100000 acres more
Of good land. Under the entire
Twin Falls project, as now in op-
Grafton and to be in service when
the extension shall be completed,
a total of 100000 acres will
yield agricultural products for
the state of Idaho.
Unless one should take the
trouble, and the pleasure to look
over that vast area, he can
scarcely realize the fact that it
constitutes practically an agri-
cultural empire that is being ad-
ded to the productive acreage of
the united States.-Logan Rep.

Prof. Mills gives Interesting
Talk.

Prof. JOS. Mills OF the Academy
in a short and pointed talk at the
Fourth Ward Meeting House on
Sunday explained his attitude IN
regard to truancy, whether on
April fools day or any other day.
He said the policy of the Academy
was one OF work during school
days and no other course would
be tolerated. If the people of
Cassia Stake wanted any other
policy they did not want him as
Principal of their Institution.
He gave examples ofHigh Schools
which would not tolerate truancy
on any day, and the penalty met
ed out to an organized mob of
students who attempted to break
up school was suspension. Among
the schools that meted out such
punishment were the Weber Acad-
emy, Ogden High School. Ids.
High and the Salt Lake High, all
leading schools of Utah, and they
are successful schools He--also
gave examples where the break
ing up of three schools was treat
ed as a joke. One of these had
finally outgrown its childish folly.
The other two would if they ever
amount to anything.
Another phase of his talk was
the social problem in high schools.
He said that the report had reach
ed him that Students were break
ing the rules by going out on the
sly. The speaker said if such were
the case it was not the fault of
the school but the parents. The
duty of parents was to look after
the home end of School and re-
port infractions of the rules which
they could not handle. The Tea
with the full support of the par
ents would look after the school
end. He maintained that High
school work could not be accom-
plished we'll by students who
were out every night or even a
few nights week. Experience
had taught him that the school
furnished enough socials to keep
"Jack from being a dull boy" and
if the parents could realize that
fact the best results could be at
tanned and the school could more
nearly fulfill it's mission.

the sum of money to be expended
upon another great irrigation
project in Idaho. This will bring
100000 additional acres of till
able land into productiveness in
Twin Falls and Owyee counties.
A great dam across Snake river
at American Falls is to be built
to impound and conserve spring
flood waters in a gigantic natur-
al reservoir, whose waters will
cover 700 acres of ground.
To convey these stored waters
onto 100000 acres of fertile land
in Twin Falls and Owyee counties
a concretelined canal 14O miles
long is to be built from the town
of Cephas to Bruneau river, this
conduit to be an extension of the
south canal in the great Twin

DOES NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING PAY?

A recent campaign of the Dayton
Lighting Company of Dayton, Ohio,
adds conclusive proof that it does pay
handsomely in most instances.
For twenty years this company
conducted it's business on the old
fashioned plan, without any news
paper advertising. At the end of
that time they had 600 contracts,
using $4,000 16-c. p. lamps.
Under practically new manage
ment, this company in August began
an intelligent, persistent and liberal
advertising campaign-one of the
best ever used anywhere-using ng
larger space each day in the news
papers. In a short month Of "a days
they added 3O2 new contracts, usin g
1915 16-c. p lamps. ., -
In other words, in "a days (with a
newpaper advertising campaignj
they added more than one-half the
volume Of business that it had taken
twenty years to build UP without
newspaper advertising, Or, to be
exact, the increase was more than
SIS per cent.
In the case Of this lighting COM
pany at least newpaper advertising
has decisively proven that it is the
best sort of publicity. 1t reaches
just the people who turn on the
lights, and when supplemented by
judicious circular advertising should
prove valuable in almost every case.

CURSE OF DRINK IN GEORGIA
Three-Fourths of Gases Before State
Court Of Appeals Caused by Ex-
cessive Use Of Liquor.

Three-fourths of the cases that go
before the state court of appeals are
due directly or Indirectly to the
cessive S Of intoxicants, declares
Chief Justice Ben Hill of that tribunal,
in an opinion handed down by him in
the case of Will Langston, a Chero-
kee county youth, convicted of man
slaughter for killing his father, says
the Atlanta Constitution.
This opinion is as strong as any
sermon or temperance lecture against
the evils Of drink. In it Justice Hill
says:
The fact Of this case presents an
other of the daily occurring instances
showing the monstrous and measure
less evil of intoxicating liquors. This
hydra-headed and remorseless mon
ster, with ceaseless and ~tireless energy,
wastes the substance of the poor, man
ufactures burdensome taxes for the
public, monopolizes the valuable time
of courts, fills jails, p~enitentiaries and
asylums, ruins homes, destroys man.
hood, terrorizes helpless women and
innocent children, battles the church
and mocks the law, and answering it's
memorable demands, each new morn
new widows mourn, new orphans cry,
new wrongs strike heaven in the
face.'
These are the products of a curse
imposed, not by the decree of. God,
but self-inflicted by the voluntary con
duct OF man, it's weak and wicked VIC
tim. Judges of criminal courts, speak
ing from official experience, have
grown weary calling attention to the
drink habit as the principal cause of
crime, and nothing the writer could
say would add to this manifest truth.
But | cannot refrain from saying that
after five years observation Of the
cases that have been before this court,
three-fourths of the crimes are due d.
rectly or indirectly to the excessive use
of intoxicants, and that-if the church
and the state and public sentiment
could ultimately make Georgia sober,
the prisons would be vacant, the chain
gangs entity, and the cities, towns
AM country would be filed with pros
nerous ard happy homes"
VIII Langston, 10 years old, killed
his own father, who had come home
beaslly drunk and drove his sick wife,
the youths mother. from her bed into
tile night. The youth resented this
Treatment OF his mother. The father.
frenzied with liquor, knocked him
down, cut him with a knife and
threatened TO kill him. The son then
picked up a stone. used as a door prop,
and hurled it at his father, it striking
him on the head and killing him. He
was tried and convicted of manslaugh-
ter and appealed for a new trial, but
the court of appeals could find no
error on which to send the case back
TO the lower court. Consequently the
decision was affirmed.
