Second haying is on in full swing.
The crop being much better than the
first, in both quantity and quality
Hay is worth from $500 to $500 per
ton.
The hum of the threshing machine is
being heard on the desert, where tire
yield and quality is reported unusually
light. Grain on irrigated farms seems
to be extra good, where water has been
plentiful.
Oscar Estby went to Pocatello, Mon
day on business, returning Wednesday.
Water seems to be more plentiful for

Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Price, who spent
almost two years around Moreland and
Blackfoot, skipped out between two
days recently for some point in Kansas,
while their numerous creditors are hav-

mourning the loss of grocery bills, dry
goods, coal and lumber bills and most
anything else the parties could either
buy on credit, o. borrow, and it is hop
ed by many that this section will not
be annoyed with their presence again
for many day-yes and forever more,
amen. They received Accommodations
when almost destitute, but just as soon
as they got on their feet and could see
daylight, they turned around and soaked
the very parties who put bread in their

Mrs. J. J. Spicer went to Pocatello,

Albert Hanson went up to Idaho Falls,

Boise will enforce its ordinance re-
quiring mufflers to be used on all gaso-
line motor machines within the city, and
it is good thing to follow up locally.
The sputter, spit and crack of a GER
tain type of motor vehicles is about the
most annoying thing that can occur on
crowded thoroughfares, as we'll as in
residence districts and it is nuisance
that should be suppressed, and is sup
pressed in most cities Of the country.

RICH AND POOR

theoretically rich and poor should be
equal in the courts. Actually it is an
almost impossible ideal to realize. The
Harry Thawsbare within their rights
if they spend every dollar of their mon
ey in hiring the best legal advice. And
it would never be wise to encourage liti
cation by providing unlimited legal tai
emit for the poor man, so as to place
him on an absolute level with wealthy
clients in civil cases.
The rich man seems to get the best
Of everything in this world. 1t is the
law of life. He hires the most skill
full doctors, and gets well where the
poor man succumbs. He employs ex-
pert foremen for his factories, and
wins more wealth, while the struggling
business man fails for lack of COM
petent assistance. Similarly the man
with the long purse has the most clear
headed, astute, and learned lawyers
They put their clients in the most favor
able light in criminal cases, and in civil
suits make opponents look like the ira
ditiOnal "thirty cents.'
The rich man may get the better Of
his INDECENT antagonist in the law suits
of civil life, but often these victories
cost him high. There are many very
astute lawyers who rarely take their
clients cases into court. If they can
get any kind Of a decent settlement,
they close up the matter to the clients
advantage.
II is not merely the lawyer g business
to throw himself into his clients case
and fight it for all it is worth. He
should also see the other side. If the
opponent g position has its strong points
the lawyer who is true friend to his
client will advise compromise. The
immediate fee will not be so large
but he will have added to his reputa-
tioa for wise counsel.
We're this spirit more generally to
prevail, justice would be easier for the
poor man. The big fellow may be able
to win with his command Of legal re-
sources. But battles gained that way
often leave heritage of bitterness that
costs far more than the winning of the
suit was worth.-Pocatsllo Tribune.

RICH

Hon. H. c. c. Rich returned from
Star Valley last Wednesday evening,
and in crossing small bridge near Mr..
Bittan' s ranch, the hind wheels of his
auto ran off the bridge and quite pain
fully jerked Mr.. Rich g neck.
Why is there so much strife and tur-
MOL about water when there is plenty
of it in the Snake river, and more to
come, to irrigate the valley. All that
is necessary is for the people to turn

WHERE THE SUBMA-
RINES ARE WEAK

Our dispatches today tell OF the
destruction of another German sub
marine by a British vessel. and as
several had been previously de-
stroyed doubtless there will be some
subsistence of the almost panicky
scare which resulted in England
when Germany put war zone"
around Great Britain.
The submarine is probably not so
formidable as supposed. Its greatest
weakness is it's extreme Vulnerable
ity to attack. 1t has great offensive
power, but practically no means OF
defense If it is cornered. More =
over, its ability to attack small yes
sells of light draft is very limited,
unless it comes up clear to the sur
face and uses it's rapid fire gun. The
torpedo is generally discharged
eight to ten feet below the surface,
and light craft have therefore little
to fear from the only deadly weapon
which the submarine carries. An
armed tug can ram submarine or
disable it by gunfire with slight risk
Of destruction.
