The evacuation of Warsaw is now
going on, say dispatches to London
from Petrograd and the Russians are
retiring along the entire Vistula front.
Shortage of munitions and the danger
Of being surrounded by the German
enveloping movement are the reasons
given for the withdrawal.
A French military expert suggests
that Russia send men to the western
front, there to be armed and equip
ped by France. The severest fight
ing on the western line is in the Vos-

holding two heights against furious
German attacks.

Kovno, Grodo and Brest-Litovsk.
Lublin has also fallen to the Teuton

The German endeavor to capture
Warsaw has not made any material
progress since Tuesday, according to
reports coming from Petrograd, Lon

ties in their latest official announce
ment reiterate assertions that the
German advance movements in the

have to say. Mr.. Kruttschnitt, exec
utive head of the Southern Pacific
has written an article dealing with
the financing of railroads. He said
in part:
"The financing Of a railroad is a
function which the people, through
their servants, the Railroad Commits
sioners and the Legislators, have
never attempted, but it is a most i'm
portant problem, especially to sec
tions of a State where new railroads
are needed. The placing of securities
has been left entirely with the pro
moter and owner Of railroads.
"The immediate determination of
what earnings the railroad shall be
permitted to receive and what bur
dens it shall have put on It is in the
hands Of other servants Of the public

OUR PUBLIC FORUM
III---JuIius Kruttschnitt
On Financing Railroads

the Legislators and the Commits
sioners.
Managing a railroad is quite differ
ent from managing a government
where the money is raised by taxa
ton. When the expenditures, for
good reasons or otherwise, increase,
taxes can be equally increased. The
railroads, while servants of the pub
lie, cannot raise money with such
ease and facility. The railroads must
keep their expenditures within their
incomes because while they have
some control over their expenditures
they have almost no control over their
public authorities.
There is not a railway manager in
the country today who is not fearful
that under the press of increasing de-
mands the transportation systems of
the country will, in a few years, break
down, unless the railroads are allowed
to earn larger funds wherewith to
build it up. There are vast sections
of the country, especially in the West,
where more railroads are needed and
they cannot be built unless the rail-
ways raise new capital.
people invest money in order to
make money, and they are skeptical
as to whether they can make money
by investing in concerns that are dealt
with stringently and unfairly. Rail-
road securities must be made more
attractive to invite investments, and
in order that they may be made more
attractive, the roads must be allowed
earnings that will enable them to
meet the increased capital charges

FARMER RADFORD ON
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu-
ton of women to the world and the
hearthstone is her throne Our So
cial structure is built around her, and
social righteousness is in her charge
Her beautiful life lights the skies of
hope and her refinement is the charm
of twentieth century civilization Her
graces ana her power are the cumu-
lative products of generations of
queenly conquest, and her crown of
exalted womanhood is jeweled with
the wisdom of sanity mothers She
has been a great factor in the glory
of our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties of citizenship Ameri-
can chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending and
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities of
the sordid affairs of life that will
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood of the farm
is our inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and guide
to higher life, but directing the af-
fairs of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

County Assessor Busy

A o. Christopher, Canyon county
assessor, this year is assessing Can
yon county with force of five depu-
uties as compared with 10 deputies in
previous years. He thus is saving the
county $50 day for period of about
two months. The county commits
sioners are permitting Mr.. Christopher
to rent motorcycle during the time
the property is being assessed. Each
deputy, however, furnished his own
conveyance. Mr.. Christopher passed
through Parma Friday evening en-
route to Caldwell. He said he had
just completed the migratory stock
assessment for this county. On Sat
urday he started assessing the real
estate of this county. He stated there
are 100000 head of sheep being fed
in Cayon county this winter, and $780,
600 migratory cattle, Dairy cattle are
not included in this number.

RURAL SOCIAL cENTERs

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained
amused and instructed under the di-
rection of cultured, clean and com
petent leadership, where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at.
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business of
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives of
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements of human
thought and activity.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
BY Peter Radford


Lecturer National Farmers Union
The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else The fair to
city man is an entertainment; TO
farmer it is education. Let us take
stroll through the fair grounds and
ingeT moment at a few of the points
of greatest interest We will first
visit the mechanical department and
bold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers
You are now attending a congress of
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence of all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues Of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story Of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands We have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can ali help others for
a brief period while we live, but 1t
takes q master mind to tower into the
realm OF science and light q torch Of
progress that will illuminate the path
way Of civilization for future genera
lions. The men who gave US the
sickle, the binder the cotton gin and
hundreds Of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown US how grand and noble it is
to work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and eff
cheney. how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll on the
back of humanity
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their m
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.

unsanitarY Country.

According to the National Council OF
Education and the American Medical
association, country school children
are from 10 to 20 per cent less healthy
than city school children. Some Of the
reasons are that tightly closed doors
and windows and poor lighting are
more usual in the country than in
cities; that country children's teeth
are not properly cared for; they often
do not get suitable luncheons. and
country sanitation is VIGOROUSLY prim-
tive.
