Moro Items.

Spring is here and already the progressive Moroites are clean ing and brightening things up. Moro is coming to the front so fast that the town is beginning to assume the proportions of a city.
 Health in Moro at present is very good, despite the very bad weather which has just passed.

 On last Sunday the Methodist of LaGrange circuit met in a Sunday School union at Aubrey. This is a new move to promote better schools in this circuit. and more interest in the study of the Bible. Rev. Wimpey, the pastor of this charge. is the backbone of the movement, and on every fifth Sunday somewhere on the circuit there will be one held. Several Moroites were on the program, and after spending the day in services at Aubrey and a fine dinner voted to have the next fifth Sunday Institute at Moro. Moro was we'll repre- sented, as something like thirty went from here, and the day was enjoyed by all.
 J. H. Winters had the misfor- tune to lose one of the houses on his place by fire a few nights ago.
 On Tuesday April 1st, the school took a march on the Prof lessor and spent the day off in the woods. To say that it was a great joke for all fools day, wouldn't be exactly right, as those who participated in it will find that in after years they will need even that one day.

INTERESTING FIGURES.

Some interesting figures have re-
Gently been compiled tending to
show the steady trend of American
emigration towards the north. The
exodus into Canadian territory is
interesting from a number of stand
points, not the least of which is its
effect upon the American West.
For the ten months ending Feb
ruary first of this year one million
three hundred forty-five thousand
foreigners arrived in Canada. OF
these one hundred and thirty thous-
and were British subjects and one
hundred and nineteen thousand
citizens Of the United States. Fig.
uring every man in the party worth
one thousand dollars on either sid,
of the line, fair idea of the impor
tance of the movement can be gain
ed incidentally, national legisla
ton looking to the removal of tn,
cause of this enormous annual los
to the United States, might be
very good thing Exchange.
Might it not be well for eacl
state, or even every community fo
that matter to look around ther
and see if they are doing all III thei
power to encourage new settlers, c
in fact to retain the ones they a
, ready have.

EARLY IN THE FIELD.

The Republican political pot has
already commenced to simmer out
candidates for the 1914 election.
Several prominent republicans are
already being groomed for the gov
ernorship of this state, including
the present incumbent, and among
others are Arthur Hodges, the pres
ent mayor of Boise, Fred w. Good
ing of this county, Ed. II. Dewey
l.. II. Sweester, former Lieut.. Gov
ernor, II. II. Taylor, A. b. Moss,
and other lesser weights that might
be mentioned.
To the minds of many, one of the
most available, if not the strongest
of all of these probable candidates
at the present time, is Arthur
Hodges. His election last year anC
reelection this year to the mayor
atty of the capital city of Idaho b,
the largest majority ever given
candidate for that office in the his
tory of Boise, is strong evidence c
his popularity at home. Anyon
= who is capable of filling the office {
Mayor in a city like Boise as abl
n and successfully as Mr.. Hodge
seems to have done would seem
d be good material for the governor
great state like Idaho.

ANOTHER MERGER.

There has been much talk during
the past week of a gigantic rain
merger among the dry farmers of
the intermountain country and the
charge is openly made that they are
entirely responsible for the recent
heavy rains, remarks the Ogden Ex-
aminer. Evidence has been secured
that they put in most of the present
month down on their pray bones in
earnest supplication TO the Al
mighty to send rain upon the just
and the unjust.
1t is a case for a public utilitie:
commission and no stone should b,
left untsrned in exposing such {
combination. When the merging
business is carried to such an ex
tent it is plainly a combination il
restraint of trade. 1t is killing OF
the land sharks in other parts o
the country who swear it never rain
here.
Then what is the use of buildin
a lot of dams and irrigation ditche
if these dry farmers are going to /
permitted to flood them at their wi
just by doing a little praying?
they keep it up much longer the
will make boobs out of every ma
that owns an irrigated farm.

PRESIDENT BRYAN.

This title, long sought for by the
great Nebraska statesman, was
finally achieved last week, when he
was the acting president of the
United States. This title for years
has been popularity given to the
ranking officer of the administration
in Washington in the absence OF
the president and vice president, and
the Fourth of July found Mr.. Bryan
sitting on the lid, with President
Wilson, Vice President Marshal
and every member of the cabine
except himself out of the city.

LET US STAND TOGETHER.

There was probably never a time
in the history of the North Side
tract when there was more need oi
unity on the part Of the land hold
ers than at the present time.
While we may have differed here
tofore among ourselves as to the
best methods to pursue in dealing
with the company, let the past
mistakes, if any, be forgotten and
for the best interests of the tract III
general, let there be no division III
the ranks of the land holders.
While the recent reported finan'
cial troubles of the Kuhns neeo
have no alarming effect upon the
tract, matters of vital importance
may confront us at any time and W.
should be prepared as n unite'
body to meet them. While we al
agree that the tract is too far ad
vanced to suffer any permanent dc
preston it is a. duty we owe oui
selves to see that the plans mappe
out by the company are carried o
by tie receivers.

The Pocatello Tribune is agitat
ing wet and dry election for Ban
mock county this fall, believing that
the sentiment of the citizens Of the
county on the liquor question has
changed during the past two years.
Pocatello has probably seen more
effects of the bootlegging saloon
than any other city in the state, ,and
this record seems to be the basis fol
the agitation of local option cleo
ton in that county.

The man who does things may
expect to be criticised. Says the
Moscow Star Mirror. 1t is the price
men must pay for the privilege of
being useful citizens. Look around
you and count the men who have
been and are doing things for the
betterment of the community, and
find one who has not made enemies
and been criticised. And the more
a man does the more criticism usu-
ally comes often from the very ones
who ought to have no criticism to
offer. If you would not be criticised
follow this rule: Do nothing, say
nothing, be nothing" 1t is easy t.
find fault and to criticise the othe
fellow, but how much better coulC
the critics do if they were in tn
shoes of the other fellow criticised
OF course we all make mistakes
Men who try to do things are hu

Judge Walters, who has had a
long siege of court duties, left last
week to Join his family at Coranada
Beach, Cal, where he will enjoy a
vacation for several weeks. He
plans to return about the first OF

official information on the subject
it is probable that no decision will
be given by the Judge in the Ran

county.

BREAD BY THE.POUND.

Bread will be sold by the pound
in Idaho from this time henceforth,
or every loaf will be plainly labeled
as to its contents in ounces. II not,
the baker ho-ignores the law will
have trouble. The pound loaf is to
contain 16 full ounces, and the half
pound loaf eight ounces.
This is the result of late moye
on the part of Inspector Wallis. He
called in all the Boise bakers, read
the law to them and told them that
it was up to them to comply or
take the consequences. To their
credit be it said. every local baker
was ready and willing Ito fall into
line. They asked for time to have
labels printed and make other neces-
sary arrangements and were given
until August to make their prepara-
tions.
This law, enacted at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, is not con-
fined to cities of any particular
class, of course. 1t applies tc every
baker in the state who furnishes
bread to the public. 1t is intended
to protect the public against short
weight and to give the consumer
that for which he pays.
Just as in all other articles o
food, the bread loaves must bea
labels telling just what the packag
contains. Or in the absence o
labels the loaves must be standard
lied to each contain the requisit
weight-16 ounces for the poun'
and eight ounces for the half pound
At the conference held betwee
Inspector Wallis and the local bak
ers, there was a complete under
standing reached and no trouble {
any kind is anticipated

THE KUHN FAILURE.

interests have been thrown, while
of a startling nature, need Have no
great significance to the people of
this tract. 1t would seem from the
dispatches that the financial trou-
bles in which they found them
selves in Pittsburg, forced them in
10 the hands of receiver in order
that their vast enterprises through
out other parts of the country might
be properly protected.
Their work on this tract is so
near completion that no fear need
be expressed but what the work
will go on unmolested under the
supervision of the receivers. Some
little complications may be exper-
fenced in regard to the suits now
pending against the company by
the settlers on the tract, but this
is of small moment as compared
to the great work already accom-
plished by the company in this sec
ton.
While there have been questions
of dispute arising between the set
tiers and the company, we believe
there is no one who does not de-
plore the present troubles that have
come to the company, and hope for
a speedy adjustment of their iinan-
cial difficulties,
Now is the opportunity for every
settler on the tract TO show his con-
fidence in the company. We have
always prided ourselves on having {
company that was financially able
to carry out its obligations. and un
I'll we have more reasons than a
present appear let us still retalI
this confidence, as the tract is nov
too far advanced to suffer any re
lapse. There can be no denyin
the fact that the Kuhns have don
great things for Idaho, and let tn
people of the state show their NJ
probation of this by hoping tha
they will come out from under the
present difficulties without any grei
financial loss.
As an evidence of the confidenc
reposed in the Kuhns by the res
dents Of this section, at publ
meeting of the Business Mems A
sociation held yesterday afternoon
the following resolution was adop
ed with instructions that it be wire
to the Kuhn Bros:
w. S. & J. S. Kuhn,

The people OF Jeror

and hope and feel that your troub
will be of short duration.

WHERE THE PROFIT GOES.
Between the Railroads and Commits

for the Producer.

hiptiti CfldCllCc vi tilC uilid'l
ness practiced by the eastern mid
dleman upon the farmers Of this
section is forcibly demonstrated in
the recent shipment of potatoes
made by Mr.. Thos. Jaycox, of this
place. Having found market for
potatoes in Texas, Mr. .Jaycox loaded |
several cars here during the latter
part of May and consigned them to
a firm at Wichita Falls, Texas.
ID. :. Boyd, living a few miles west
OF town was among others TO furnish
the potatoes for this shipment, re-
ceiving 35 cents per hundred for
them. Mrs. Boyd in order to ascer-
tain what the potatoes brought at
their destination, inserted a note in
some of the sacks, asking that the
purchaser be kind enough to advise
her what he was compelled 10 pay
for the same.
Recently Mrs. Boyd received a
reply which stated that the potatoes
were sold at wholesale to the Warden
of the Penitentiary at Wichita Falls,
and brought s1.65 per hundred.
These potatoes laid down at their
destination, including the original
price paid the farmer here, and the
freight and commission charges
cost 81. IA per hundred, leaving the
commission firm at that end of the
line a profit of 81 cents per sack, ol
more than the farmer received fol
his potatoes, sacks and all, togethe
with the percentage Mr.. Jaycox re
ceived for handling them.
Is it any wonder that the pro
ducer feels that he is getting tn
small end of the deal. The ship
. per here is powerless to prevent this
as his profit represents only SINAI
margin, and he ia at the mercy c
the commiss.S.. man at the othe
end Of the line. 1t may be all rigl
y, to form shipping associations here
but we feel that the fault cannot b
remedied by these organizations
. What il needed most is an organiza
ton at the other end of the line thi
will see to it that the shipper get
the full benefit Of the profits d'
=, rived from the sale of his product
i Instead of spending their none
in supporting these local organic
tions, the shippers could much be
ter afford to club together and EN-
ne ploy representatives in the larI
IA market centers whom they had col
on fidence in to handle their shil
ments after they got there, and
this way be assured of all the pro
there was in the produce.
