PLAN ADOPTED IN w
 SALT RIVER VALLEY

That an agricultural commun- ity is a business enterprise which should be conducting it's farming along systematic business-like lines is a fundamental principle which has been recently recog- nized by the farmers and busi- ness men of Salt River. Valley,
 Arizona, in adopting plan for it's agricultural development. A comprehensive plan providing for an agricultural development covering long period of years and based on careful analysis of farming and economic con- ditions was prepared by Prof. Stanley F.

Mountain elevations. quoted by the News have been questioned by the News readers. The News gave the height of Bill Williams as 10, 900 and San Francesca peaks as 14,000 feet. The U $. Geological Survey gives these elevations as 9,090 and 12.611 feet, respectively. Now comes the Holbrook News with the statement that Flagstaff water comes from the San Fran cisco peaks at an altitude of 14, GOO feet. Maybe we newspaper men would better be little more careful of our figures.

A tariff Board could take the tariff question absolutely out of politics, but the tariff commission which politicians are talking bout may not do it. It is not a com mission to furnish Congress with information that is needed so much as Board with power to adjust schedules to meet the absolute needs of protection and revenue. This Board would have to provide sufficient revenue, but at the same time it would lower protective duties to the absolute needs of the various industries, and in so doing would remove a good deal uf 1t.

President Wilson represents a nation with the greatest moral for ces that nation ever had and at a time when more righteousness is expecte l of nation than ever be- fore The president could rush us into war, but were he to do so with out having exhausted every means for preserving an honorable peace, history would hold him culpable.

 U. s. department of agriculture and presented to a small com mlttee of representative farmers, landowners and bushes s men for consideration. After a series of meetings this plan with mod iications was brought before
 the advisory council of the Mari copa County Farm Improvement Association and adopted. This provides for making the Mari copa County Farm Improvement Association (composed of all the farmers and business organiza- tions in the county) the central organizations through which all matters agricultural will be handled. The work of strength ening this organization and get ting the farmers to thoroughly cooperate and standardize their pro ducts will be under the direc- tion of a high-class farm advisor who will soon be employed (the present incumbent having just resigned). A marketing special ist is also to be employed to make a careful marketing survey and prepare a plan for a market ing corporation. Ten thousand dollars is to be raised for carry ing out the plan, the funds to come from the University of Arizona, U. s. department of agriculture, county of Maricopa, farmers organizations and private subscriptions. With the backing of everyone concerned it is believed that eventually the agriculture of the Salt River Valley will be handled like the business of any great corpora tion with $100, 900, 900 invested.

A Unique Logging Railroad

T he s acramento Mountain Lumber Company will install unique logging railroads to han dle logs from it's large body of pine and fir timber on the Ala mo National Forest. The logs will be conducted by overhead cables. Instead of following canyon bottoms, the logging rail roads will follow the ridges. The cables will be stretched across the canyons, and the logs will be lifted out Of the canyons instead of being pulled down the slopes. It is said that this operation will mean a revival of prosperity for the Sacramento Mountain region, the former lumber mills having been closed down for ten years.

In the sIeeninn Room.

Sleeping rooms should be cold. At least one window should be opened top and bottom all the time. The bed should be as far from the windows as possible, in a corner out of the direct draft. The same treatment applies to small children and babies as well as to their parents. The mother who can convince herself of this will get re- suits. She will discover that her baby, if properly clothed and with d blanket pinned around his crib to prevent a current of air, will sleep more quietly, learn to keep under his bed clothing and will not catch cold so easily. Of course this does not apply to ailing infants or those under six weeks of age.

SHOULD BE
REELECTED

Mr.. Garfield Bond, County COM
missioner of the Second District, and
the present chairman of the Board, IS
a candidate for reelection on the Re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Bond is a young
man of exceptionally good business
Judgment and ability, well qualified
for the office by reason of his past
experience in public Affairs. He
several times served the people of Black.
foot on the City Council, and has had
two years experience in the office to
which he again aspres.
We have watched his record, and
have no hesitancy in indorsing it and
supporting him for reelection. He has
stood for good, clean, economical gov
ernment. He is a progressive young
business man, thoroughly familiar with
the various sections of the county and
its needs.
When a man has made good in his
office he should be retained there. Mr..
Bond is the only one Of six candidates
for commissioner who has had expert
ence in that office and his knowledge
of the details Of the work will be an
incalculable aid to the new board, no
matter which ones should be elected.
The large number of details requiring
familiarity with the records and pro
cedure in the various duties of the Of
flee demand that some of the old board
be retained. 1t requires considerable
effort and study to learn the different
duties of any public office, and one IA
miliar with the work canSrender more
efficient services than a new man, no
matter what his natural ability might
be.
A man who has served in any public
office naturally makes enemies. espec-
tally where decisions have to be made
between factions in communities. Aside
from differences arising ont of ques-
ton of the creation of school districts
Mr. Bonds work seems to have given
entire satisfaction. In school districts
where sentiment is divided bitter feel
/, ings are sometimes engendered by the
division or refusal to divide "A school
district, and this difference has existed
in Bingham county in various COM
nunities during the past administra-
ton, and has caused some criticism of
the present board, Of which Mr.. Bond is
! member.
Mr.. Bond has been on the job, con-
scientiously performing the duties OF
! his office at all tim>s since his inaug-
, uration on January IL, 1913, and has
been energetic and honest in his efforts
! to serve all Of the people Of Bingham
= county.
We endorse his candidacy and recQrn
!. mend to the readers of this paper that
! he be reelected We have 10 doubt
: about his success on November 1th, IN
, view of the high vote he has received
heretofore in the elections and recent
primary.

HALLOWEEN So
CIETY NOTES

Hallowe zen, ushering in the week
with a new moon led to the disap-
pearance of Dull Care and Duty, and
for the time being one might almost
have believed from the appearance of
the masqued dances on the streets,
Tuesday evening, that they were III
New Orleans at Mardi Gras, for the
ghosts, witches, fays and fairies with
their weird lights darting in ahd out
among the trees lent charming effect
to this madcap season. Many bonfires
helped to light the city and the good
natured way in which the pranks OF
the Youngsters were received told that
fun. mirth and frivolty was the order
of the day. Many parties were given,
among them being the beautiful after
noon card and Kensington given by
Mrs. John Guthrie Brown and Mrs. Sam
uel Wilson at the X. of p. hall, to
about 100 guests. The hall was sym
phony in it's autumn cOlOrs and the
spirit of Hallowe 'en shone forth from
a myriad of golden lighted candles.
Beautiful yellow popcorn crysanthe'
NUNS decorated the tables. Punch was
served by Mrs. Fred Cowan and Mrs.
Fred r. Dubois. Assisting the hostesses
were Meslames Farley, Aldrich, Thore-
sen, Patrie and Miss Hart. Miss Bren-,
nan carried off the prize for cards,
while Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Cheney
We're given the Kensington prizes.
The ghosts of all departed spirits
white and Indian-returned from their
happy hunting grounds and paid Wis
it to Mr.. and Mrs. f. A. johnson, from
the wtching hours Of 9 to l, Tuesday
evening. Judging from the sound OF
hilarity the spirits welcomed their re-
lease. None seemed to fear the sight
of the spooks walking the streets The
air was full Of the sounds Of horns and
bells and upon entering the dance hall
the newly finished garage-one was
simply entranced by it's fairy like beau
ty. 1t had been transformed into syl-
van glade where tiny lights only re-
lieved the impression of the home of the
gnomes, witches and fairies. Over it
all the good witch presided and brew
ed drink that seemed to cheer the
spirits to greater pranks. Father Time
was there, and very agile Father
Time he was. At the sound of twelv"
he moved his scythe and the merry
spirits departed, leaving the request
with their hosts that they might be
called back each year.
Miss Margaret Dubois was hostess
at a Halloween party given in honol
Of the teachers in the High School an,

Cat. Judging from the sounds it wa:
most realistic. Toasted marsh mallows
cider, coffee and doughnuts added som'
zest, while Miss Turner, Miss Barron
