Presidents
Message

Probably no presidential mess
age in recent years has attracted
more interest than President
Wilson's message. The recomm-
endation of President Wilson
touching the nomination of
candidates for the presidency by
primary law that will apply to
all the states. is of special interest.
and sentiment is divided.
Congressman French in speak
ing of the subject said: Il am
heartily in favor of carrying out
this recommendation of the Pre-
sident and for long time | have
stood for this manner of nomin-
ating our Presidents. If the
people generally may well have
the responsibility ofelecting their
President, why not assume the
responsibility ofnominating him.

Our Inland Water
Problems.

The movement for the con st
ruction of per manent leves along
the lower Miss issippi River, for
floods protection, is responsible
for bringing one thousand dele
gates to the National CAPITAL to
attend the rivers and harbers
convention. The movement also
includes proposal for an inland
waterway along the Atlantic
coast. here is an enthusiastic
demand that Uncle Sam loosen
up his purse strings and spend
more money on this project than
heretofore. The policy of the
government iii past years has
su ffered somewhat through In
direction OF the expenditure of
large sums, which were formerly
secured through manipulation OF
Congressman in the passage OF
appropriation bills. However,
the policy has been stiffened, so
that matters do not rest entirely
in the discretion of Congress:
and the representative men OF
the lower ississippi, who have
been exerting their influence in
Washington by emphasizing the
Importance OF more vigorous
action on the part of Congress
and the War Department., be.
lieve they have made headwav,
and thev hope to secure Their
levees, and thus prevent recurr-
ency OF the destruction visited
upon them in the years past.

The figures for 1918 season for
the sugar beet production for
this vicinity are at hand.
Island shipped 2.174 tons;
Marion shipped 3,3S4.5O tons;
and Oakley sent 6,1S6.75, max
ing total of 11.755.25 tons for
these three places. These beets
brought s4.75 per ton or s55,
SAT Al a very nice addition to
our local resources.
John Adams of Oakley had the
best yield on small field. He
raised forty FIVE on two acres,
which brought s106.S7 per acre.
The best WELD for the larger
fields was that of Alfred Wilson
who produced 1877 tons on IL
acres or seventeen tons to the
acre. or sSO75 per acre.
These are splendid yields and
fine returns.
Take all through this part of
the Valley, the average yield OF
beets was fraction over ten tons
per acre.

The company is now making

Working of
Co. Prisoners
on Roads

Some time ago, Don Bennett
and B. Coburn were ordered
to work on the roads to serve
out their sentence and refusing
to do SO, were closely confined
and put on a bread and water
diet. They sued out a writ of
habeas courpes, and finally the
case reached the Supreme Court
of the state; ane on a technicali
ty. the court decided that the
prisoners could not be made to
work on the roads or condemcn-
ed to the unusual bread and
wa ter diet because their sentence
of fine did not admit of such
construction.
Persons confined oftbe County

sonment rendered in criminal

OF the county commissioners to

roads of the county.
If a defendant is fined, and is
confined in jail until the fine is
paid, such a judgment is not a

the law.

Petition.

A petetion to the TWIN Falls
Oakley Land and Water Com
pany is beng circulated among
the water users on the Oakley
tract in order to secure an exten-
sion of time on the payments for
the water.
The water was put on the land
late last spring SO that many
could not raise good crops last
year and taken all through,
strict justice demands that
bonahde water users should be
given an extension of time in
which to meet the payments.
More than half of the petitions
have been signed and sent in and
it is earnestly requested that all
who have not signed will do so
at once, to enable the petition to
be presented to the company
in the new year.

Pres. Wilson Should
Throw these Grim
inalsinto Jail latonce

The innate cussedness and per-
verse wickedness of human
nature is again revealed in the
following dispatch of the Asso-
ciated Press:
Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE an
nual meeting of beet sugar
manufacturers was held here
today and new officers elected
for 1914. Next years crop
will be the last to be marketed.
it was said. as beet sugar will
be unable to compete with
free cane sugar after 1916.
One hundred million dollars in
vested III beet sugar factories,
according to one delegate. will
be forced to find new employ
ment within a year.
President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan, aud the balance of them
should lose no time in bringing
these beet sugar criminals to JUS
tice. Early in the present game
it was announced that any man
ufacturer who went out of bus
mess or cut wages and pretend
ed that it was on account of the
Tariff legislation might expect
to be landed in Jail, What bus
mess had any owner of an in
dustry to pretend that he knew
more about the effects of the
Tariff on that industry than
Prof. Wilson? Clearly none at
all. And if any such undertook
to pretend that they did-why
they could see how they liked ly-
ing in jail, that's all.
The case of the beet sugar
people is a good one of which to
make an example. They have
something like hundred million
dollars invested III the factories,
practically all of it in machinery
which is good for no other pur
pose. They say they will find it
impossible after the next crop to
compete with the cane sugar
imported by the Sugar Trust, SO
they will have to scrap their
hundred millions worth of mach
inery and go into some other
line OF industry, The 10000
farmers who have been growing
sugar beets at a tair profit will
also go to doing something else.
Perhaps few weeks in Jail
wouldn't hurt them either.
We certainly trust Prof. Wilson
will lose no time III going alter
these malefactors and putting
them all where they belong,
Go to it Woodrow.

Give Home
Merchants A
Chance

Honest lnJun'-now don't get
angry but just listen a moment
Don't think because we say, 90
to your home merchants first.
that we have no interest in you
farmers and labores and that we
are taking sides with the rnerch-
ants as against the consumers
i'll this valley, for such is not the
case. But you know we all get
funny sometimes and suspicion
that so and SO is trying to do us
and all that sort of thing.
The holidays are approaching
and everybody is thinking about
buying something. And while
this has been a prosperous year
every one is anxious that his
dollar cover multitude of
things, and accordingly sets out
to locate bargains. Montgcm-
cry, Sears RoeBuck. National
Cloak and many other catalo.
CUES are consulted, and after
reading "A lot of dope about the
quality, color, stile, price and
ETC., great many make out an
order and send it off without
even investigating what the
local merchants is offering. And,
it very often happens that a
larger price is paid to some OF
these houses than the article
would cost right here at home.
Now then. if your home merch-
ant can sell you goods as cheap
as you can buy them from east
ern mail order houses, why not
leave your money at home? OF
course you will Immediately say,
They won't do it," Ne reply,
will you give them a chance
before placing your order else
whcre?" Walk into the store
and state your business and that
you propose to pay the cash,
and compare the goods and
prices with mail order house and
prices, ard see where you get off
alter paying transportation
charges. If you are not then
satisfied, send your big silver
cart wheels to Chicago and no
body has any kick coming.
Do you kown kind reader that
the merchants of Oakley are big
tax payers. Deduct this from
the assessment roll and add it to
the balance OF the taxpayers and
where do you get off at? When
the churches give an entertain
ment. who is one of the first to
buy a ticket? When you are
after subscriptions for the sick or
needy, who heads the list?
When you, or some member of
your family, is sick and your pay
check won't reach around, who
gives you credit? The home mer-
chant is the target tor every
move made for the advancement
OF some local scheme and for
benefit propositions. Does he
complain very often?
Another thing-did you ever
stop to think what a convent
ence it is to havs a full line OF
good retail stores at home in our
communities? 1t enables people
co see what they are paying for
and then you get your goods
; when you want them. You can
take all the time you want to
talk over your purchases and in
spect goods.
1t is the good fortune of the
citizens of Oakley to have line
! of finely equipped and attract
. lively stocked retail stores. If
every dollar possible was spent
at home, these stores could grow
faster, put in fuller assortments.
employ more clerks, And in this
, way they would contribute to
the conveniences of every resid-
ent, and add to the prosperity If
every property holder. Think it
over.
