PAINLESS DENTISTS
CAUSE GREAT PAIN
EXTRACT MUCH MONEY FOR
VERY QUESTIONABLE GLASS
OF WORK.
GET OUT WITH MOST OF IT
travelling Dentists Heap Great
Harvest Here, and Leave Just as
Work is Beginning to Show Up as
Nery,, Very, Bad.

Dr.. Irwin & Company, the pain
less dentists" who have been work.
ing here for the past three weeks
left town Monday. Prior to depart
ing they were called before Justice
Jones and compelled to digorge a
wee mite of their easily gotten
gains to a young lady who complain
ed to the authorities that the fill
ings in her teeth fell out in a
short time after she left the office
of the tooth carpenters"
1t Is estimated that the dentists
for their three weeks, carried away
from town considerably more than
$1,000. One man was mulcted for
1856 and others for more than 500
AS the work done by these trans
tents Is usually very poor. 1t 10
Safe to scy that far more than half
of the money is pure waste. for
the work will in most instances
haze 10 oe done over
Sheriff Jeffries stopped the den
lists at the depot and got the
money for the young woman previ-
cIsly mentioned, and, as there
were no other complaints filed, was
compelled to allow them to leave,
which they seemed very anxious to
do Since they have gone numer-
BUS complaints have been received
from them that were stung, but as
the present address of DR.. Irwin & |
company is unknown, the victimsl
will have to stand holding the sack.
There is great lesson in this |
and 1t Is earnestly to |
Dc hoped that local people will |
AXE advantage of it in the fu-
ure.

BUSINESS MEN OF TOWN WILL
HAVE NEW CREDIT BOOK.
Everyone to Be Rated And Guide
Will Up-To-Date and In
valuable to Merchants.

The Merchants Mercantile company
incorporated of Walla Walla, Wash .
is getting up data to publish a rat
ing book that will fill a long felt
want
By this system this county will be
put in direct touch with the credit
conditions all over the United States
and whenever anyone moves here
from any part of the country, the
merchants here will at once be post
ed through this company as to how
the party paid his bills where he TO
merly lived.
These credit guides are made up
in districts covering nearly every
state in the Union. They are made
from the combined experience of all
of the merchants in each district
and every merchant rates his own
customers according to how they
have paid him. Before a customer
is rated, he is given notice by let
ter that he will be rated and Is
given a chance to pay up his old
accounts and thus secure good
rating.
Each merchant and professional
man is furnished with copy of the
guide so that he may refer to it
and look up the rating of any
customer before giving credit.

interest on the entire amount of the
bonds, to-wit: $500. would amount
at per cent to $3.50 per annum,
which would be to each homestead
within the district not more than
$500, 1t might be well to add in
this connection that the amount of
money that this district receives
from the state will exceed the
amount of interest per year on
the bonds; besides the money is Dor
rowed from the state and eventual
ly CONS back to the district
The above explanations are made
for the purpose of showing the
people of the district that the board
of trustees is not attempting to
spend their money extrayagantly or
but for the best interests
of the people,

PLOW AN ACRE OF GROUND
IN TWENTY MINUTES.

TO say that one has seen an
acre of ground plowed in twenty
minutes, is statement, which had
IL been made in the youth of the
older generation would have
brought either the sanity or vera
city Of the person making it into
serious quest ION 1t would have
seemed beyond reason or truth or
out of place beyond the pages of the
feats OF the Baron Munchausen. To
day it will be received with more or
less wonder by some, but without
question as TO its truth by any. 1t
is a process which will be seen daily
at The Stn d. go. California, EXPOSE
ton. in 1915
When President D. c. Collier of
the San Diego Exposition announced
the worl,. tha, the exposition was to
be one of processes rather than of
products "a demonstration of mans
evoiution-it was too far reaching
statement to be grasped in its en-
tirety. and . is only now, when prep
atiops are being made for the par
t!ciparion of the various states and
their constituent industries, that the
idea is becoming apparent.
Flowing an acre of ground in TWEEN
~ minutes is. of course, something
not 70 be considered seriously ex-
cnpt by 4 traction engine driving
large nnmter of plow shares.
When one considers that the turn
ing vi a single furrow is the work
of a span of horses and at least
one man, 81 Me idea of the power of
the modern farm tractor, turning
twenty tIrrcws at once, and con-
trclled by I. single pair of hands, is
gained.
Careful estimants and calculation
shows that We're the same work
done in the same length of time, by |
a single plow, as it is done by the |
large tractor driven gang-plows, the |
single plow would have to be driven |
through the ground at the rate of |
thirty miles an hour. AS can well be /
imagined, such speed would leave
the most of the soil scattered about
the landscape in anything bu agri-
cultural usefulness
At the San Diego 1915 Exposition
t is now planned to plow an acre
of ground in twenty minutes. each
lay, during the ,365 days the expo
'ition grounds will be open to the
public. This is but one process of
he almost infinite number neces-
'ary to portray the evolution of ,
nan, all of which are to be shown .

BUDGET PLAN OF LIVING.

Practical application of the budget
plan to household as well as to city
and state finances is something new
Helen Louise Johnson writes of it
under the tile "The Gospel of the
New Housekeeping" in Harper's
Bazar as follows:
There is a very evident desire on
the part of many people forced upon
them perhaps by the economic condi
tions of the day, to learn to disburse
or use their resources in a better
way. Economy is becoming fashion
Right here we have need to remem-
Der what Ruskin told us many years
ago. We have warped the word
economy in our English language in
to a meaning which it has no busi-
ness to bear. In our use of 1t 1t
constantly signifies merely saving
or sparing. Economy no more
means saving money than it means
spending money. 1t means the ad-
ministration of a house, its stew
ardship, spending or saving money
or time or anything else to the best
possible advantage"
This is the meaning of the budget
but this is not all. For the spend
ing or the saving of money is only
one of the means to an end, and 1t
is the failure to see this end which
is making SO much unnecessary trou
Bile in so many homes.
The ideal or aim for which every
budget is directly planned is free
dom - definite freeing of time,
strength and money that these re-
sources may be used for the attain
ment of what we have termed
higher life. Necessary as food, cloth
ing and shelter actually are in all
their varied forms which make for
the greater distribution of expends
lures, they, too, are but means to
the greater end OF life."

BASEBALL OUTLOOK
is VERY BRIGHT,
Matters Baseballic Are Rapidly
Shaping up for Successful
Season,

The baseball outlook in American
Falls is daily growing more rosy
In another week the fine new grand
stand will be up and in condition
for occupancy, the grounds will have
been put in tip top shape and pre-
liminary practice will have been
started. All candidates for posi-
tions ON the team Will be invited to
come out and demonstrate their
several abilities, and after few
workouts Coach Moench and Man
ager Oliver viii be able to get a
line on the first string men.
At a meeting of the Athletic
club. held in the Press office on
Monday evening, gray suits, with
dark pin stripe, and maroon stock
ings and caps were decided on. Each
player will, on account of the scar
city of club funds, be compelled to
pay for his own suit. The club,
will of course furnish balls, bats.
etc.. and pay all necessary expense
of travelling. A new catcher's mitt,
and protector were ordered by
the club on Monday evening.
Sunday has been designated as a |
day for all, club members to get |
out and help put the grounds in |
shape for playing. There is a good |
deal of sage brush to be removed |
from the outfield, and the infield |
must be packed and levelled. Men
with teams have promised to assist |
II the work.

Petitions Are Now in Circulation.
Asking County Commissioners To
Call Special Election and Finally
Decide Liquor Status.

Definitely the status of Powe
County on the liquor question WI
be decided soon, and the soverigl
people will be the judges. An elec
ton will be held in two months
II the petitions now being circulat
ed are signed by forty per cent O
the registered voters at the las
general election. AS the thing il
being undertaken in a non partisan
spirit. merely for the purpose of gel

the people in the matter, no diff.
Guilty is anticipated in securing the
requisite number of signers.
When the petitions have the nec-
essary names they will be presented
to the county commissioners; the
board must then give ten days no
tice before acting upon them, and If
they decide to call an election, must
advertise that fact for at least thir-
ty days before such election can be
held.
A everyone who has taken the
trouble to interest himself knows,
the county is at present divided:
Part wet" and part dry This
is unsatisfactory to both sides. In
American Falls no liquor can legal
ly be sold, but just acros the river
that runs by the town-in the ter
ritory taken from Blaine county at
the time of Power county's crea-
tion-a saloon is in operation. A
quarter mile walk will bring the
drink desiring citizen to the source
of his hearts desire. There is small

vocate in dry town on one side
of the river and a saloon at the
other end of the bridge, while as
for the personal liberty element.
they'd much prefer to have it clos |
er to hand and there are those who
want licenses in order that profit
from the traffic may be more gener-
ally distributed.
At any rate, the county will soon
be committed, once for all, to one
position or the other. 1t is ex-
pected that the battle will be as
close as it is sure to be bitterly con-
tested. Both sides are already pla |
ming a strenuous and complete cam
paign and it is safe to say that the
circumambient ether will be vari-
ously agitated before the battle is /
over.

 0H|sAhh CAMP
SIate Creek Operator 8elieves District Has Possibilities
 for Prospeotors.

Jim Black, the well known Slate creek operator, arrived in
 town this morning with Joe Stan- ton, the mail carrier. MT. Black
 has just returned from a trip to the Chisana, where he spent a couple of weeks looking over the country. He speaks well of the new diggings from a prospector's point of view and plans to go back there next spring.
 MT. Black reports that he met a number of stampeders going in with horses who were sure to ex- perience trouble. The native grass has been frozen in that district and horses will not live on it if being worked. He came out during the recent cold snap when Valdez was visited by the furry of snow and travelled for one hundred miles through snow which was from three to eighteen inches deep. He believes the snow has since melted but that the heavy frosts have rendered the grass unfit for horses. He reports provisions short in the Chisana and states there are about three hundred people in the district. They are scattered over a wide area and it is difficult to form an accurate estimate of the num- Der.
 Mr.. Black reports that opera tions on Slate creek were ham, pered during the past summer owing to shortage of water, The late rains helped to relieve the situation, but were so late in coming that the output of the camp was greatly curtailed.
