Entire Country
Going DRY
II. F. HANLY


Nationwide prohibition will soon
be happy realization in this coun-
try"
So declared former Governor ]. F.
Hanly of Indiana.
prohibition in every state will
come because the economics of the
situation demand it, he continued.
"Other countries are slowly but sure
ly creeping ahead of us in the matter
of commerce, manufacturing and
other big industries. Especially in
our foreign commerce are we lag
ging.
The bulk of the things we eat,
wear and use are imported. People
do not realize this truth. They do
not know that We import tons Of
butter from New Zealand and many
shiploads of beef from the Argentine
Republic. The reason for this, boil
ed down, is the liquor proposition.
Matter of Business
1--WE annually spend a staggering
amount of money for liquor. We can
not hope to regain our lost CONNER
cial prestige from other nations, or
we cannot attain the best business
efficiency, with the liquor demon at
our heels. It's not matter of
morals, but question of hard bust
ness sense. To keep the United
States at the top of the business
world me must be a sober people.
Prohibition Makes Rapid Strides
''The prohibition movement has
made rapid strides in the east. The
steel plants of Pennsylvania have
warned their employees against the
use of liquor, and other industries
are following their example. Big
business men realize that efficiency
and strong drink do not go hand in
hand. The head of our navy realized
this some time ago."
The Flying Squadron of America is
prohibition society recently organ
lied in New York. Their active cam
paign against the liquor traffic will
begin in October, when a number of
speakers, including Mr.. Hanly, will
lecture in $50 of the larger cities of
the country. The present speaking
tour is a preliminary one.
The Organizers
The organizers of the association
are: D. A. Polling, general secretary
of the Christian Endeavor society,

TO WHOM THIS MAY COME

There are laws that mete justice to
the murdered and other laws that
provide punishment for the man who
kills wild animals out of season, but
the worst fiend of all, the character
assassin, goes sneakily on his in
famous way. With skillful cunning
he injects word here, knowing
smile there and with shrug of the
shoulders implies whole volumes
which he dare not express, scattering
drops of poison which he would have
eat their way to some strong heart
which he dare not APPROACH in the
open, and so cuuninly as to evade the
retribution he so richly merits, but
which overtakes him at last in the
contempt of all worthy people. Some
times he succeeds in enlisting other
and thoughless persons in his crusade
against some worthy person, some
one who does things and who has,
therefore, incurred his resentment,
and succeeds for a time in making
his victims life uncomfortable, as
the bowling of dogs and the yowling
of cats disturb ones rest at night.
But with the dawn of truth his tar
get stands out clean and untouched
by the shafts of SANDER, as with the
coming of the dawn the tired sleeper
finds rest from the turmoil of those
other beasts who stink away with
coming of the light. Then the
character assassin has not only the
contempt of others but contempt for
himself as he realizes the futility of
his efforts to besmirch the character
of clean man and his general use
lessness to society at large.-Elmore
County Times.

CHAPTER XIII.

The Knight Of the Crimson Rose.
The row of horsemen had halted in
a curving line before the grand stand.
and now in the silence the herald,
holding a parchment scroll, spurred
before each rider in turn, demanding
his title. AS this was given he
whirled to proclaim 1t, accompanying
each evolution with blast on his
horn. Knight of the Golden Spur"
Knight of Castlewood," Lord Of
Brandon" "Westover's knight"
Knight of the Silver Cross: the
names, fanciful, or those of family es-
tates, fell on John Valiant's ear with
pungent flavor of medievalism. He
started as he became aware that the
rider next him had answered and that
the herald had paused before him.
Knight of the Crimson Rose!" 1t
sprang to his lips without forethought,
an echo, perhaps, of the improvised
sash and the flower in his hat-band,
but the shout of the herald and the
'trumpet's blare seemed to make the
words fairly bulge with inevitability.
And through this struck a sudden ap-
palled feeling that he had really
spoken Shirley's name, and that every
one had heard. He could not see her
face, and clutched his lance fercely
to overcome an insane desire to stoop
hideously in his saddle and peer un-
der the shading hat-brim. Lest he
should do this, he fastened his eyes
determinedly on the major, who now
proceeded to deliver himself of the
charge to the Knights"
The major made an appealing CEN
ter to the charming picture as he
stood on the green turf, "the glass
of fashion and the mold of FORM" his
head bare, his shock Of blond-gray
hair thrown back, and one hand thrust
between the buttons of his snowy
waistcoat. His rich bass voice rolled
out to the farthest corner of the field:
"Sir Knights:
1.-THE tournament to which we are
gathered today is to us traditional; a
rite of antiquity and a monument of
ancient generations. This relic of the
jousts of the Field of the Cloth-of-
Gold points us back to an era of
nightly deeds, fidelity to sacred trust.

PRISON LABOR EXPERIMENT

More than usual interest attaches
to the policy of the state in develop
ing state lands in the Gem Irrigation
district. 1t is hoped to accomplish
several useful purposes and to derive
much financial gain to the state.
The Gem Irrigation district is one
of the most promising irrigation
tracts in the west. 1t comprises about
10000 acres of land, included in
which are about 5000 acres of state
lands. These lands sell for from $40
to $50 per acre in their raw state
in addition to which the purchaser
buys water right from the district.
The price of the water right is de-
pendent upon the cost of the project
as relates to the entire 10000 acres
Improved land within this district is
easily worth 500 an acre and will
no doubt be worth great deal more
within few years as the land is
very productive and is excellent fruit
land 1t is located about 20 miles
southwest of Caldwell in the Snake
river valley and the railroad is now
operated to Homedale, the CONNER
cial center of the tract.
The state has entered upon policy
of developing its lands and trans
forming them from their raw state
Ito improved farms. The state is do
ing this work at very little expense
as convict labor is employed in cler-
ing the lands of sagebrush and put
ting them into cultivation and under
irrigation. 1t will only De a short
time until the state will be in a po-
sition to sell it's lands in this district
as improved farms bringing the maxi
mum price. This will bring the state
a very large profit and will solve the
problem to large extent as to what
the state should do with it's convicts.
The employment of the convicts in
this manner will give them use
full and healthful occupation and the
result of their labors will be much
financial gain to the state. Not only
will this gain be represented in the
increased value of land but the lands
will produce most of the supplies re-
quired for the penitentiary, includ-
ing grain, vegetables and meats. AS
fast as the given acreage is improved
and sold the labor can be turned to
new lands and they in like manner
prepared for the market and while
being prepared furnish products for
the up-keep of the state institution.
Governor Haines, who originated
this policy, is very enthusiastic as to
the result to be derived from its
operation. He claims for it not only
the advantages above outlined but
says that it will be step in the d.
rection of reducing taxes. The pro-
produce that may be obtained from
these improved lands will 60 far to-
wards making the penitentiary self
sustaining, especially if the surplus
products are taken into consideration.
AS the legislature appropriates $780,
600 biannially for the support of the
penitentiary the Importance of the
governors plan will be fully realized.
