MARBLE FRONT

The Union Congregational church
worshipping in Marble Front school
house will have its Children's Day on
the lawn on the county farm next
Sunday, June l8. Nearly 200 people
will be there from Middleton. The
Middleton children will take part in
the big program of the day and the
Middleton preachers will do much of
the preaching, and there will be three
sermons during the day. Everybody
will bring a we'll filled basket of din
ner. The meeting will in no way be a
picnic. but will be day of lively wor-
ship and everybody in this whole re-
gion is invited Caldwell people in
their automobiles could snend part
of the early afternoon proftably in
this crowd of children and parents. 1t
will be a good time to take notice OF
the county farm and see how we care
for our worthy people who would
otherwise be unfortunate. The exer-
cises begin at II o'clock prompt.

lean industry and give employment to
American labor
Agan, prior to the outbreak of the
European war, as everybody knows
large, amounts of American stocks
and bonds were held by foreign in
vestors to whom we paid interest and
dividends amounting annually to many
millions of dollars. So great was the
amount of these securities held abroad
that when the war broke out there was
fear OF the dumping of these securities
upon the American market and our
stock exchanges were closed. Upon
the reopening of the stock exchanges
more than a billion dollars worth of
these securities were returned to us
and bought by American investors
who now collect the interest and div
idends and spend the proceeds at home
for the development of American in
dustry and the employment of Ameri
can labor.
Furthermore, prior to the outbreak
OF the war, ocean transportation UNI
der the American flag was at a mini
mum, but since that time, because of
the protection they would receive.

to me that the Reclamation Service
would be glad to bear this share of the
mistakes that have been made in order
to fix up bad mess, most any reason
able person would do it but | don't
believe this would reduce the cost per
acre very much. More land must be
added to the project so that the acre
age is in proportion to reservoir sys-
tenn that has been built Like some
concerns they build too
big a plant and must increase their
business. If more lands are included
in the district everybody will be ben
Gifted and the cost per acre materially
reduced. This will take more money
and we must not be put in the light
of refusing to pay debt and asking
for more money at the same time.

War-Not Democracy Brought Trade

The three tables presented above
demonstrate two things: First, that
as a result of Democratic tariff leg
islation. balance of trade that was in
our favor was changed to balance of
trade against us, thus showing that in
stead of other nations sending their
money to buy the products of foreign
labor, discouraging our own indus
tries and building up the industries of
foreign lands; and, second that the
outbreak of the European war created
an enormous abnormal demand for our
products-a demand coming from the
nations at war and chiefly for products
essential to the maintenance of armies
The Democratic party had absolutely
nothing to do with the creation of this
abnormal market.
Other Factors
The figures presented above apply
only to foreign trade conditions.
There are other and perhaps no less
important factors which have been
very materially influence by the out
break of the war. American tourists
were spending in Europe sums esti-
mated at from $300,0O0,0OO to $780,
100000 annually, this constituting a
net outgo for which we had practically
no corresponding income. The out
break of the war not only shut off this

YOU GAN CATCH MORE
FLIES WITH SUGAR
THAN VINEGAR
Editor Tribune:

Editor Tribune:
Have just read your editorial advis-
ing Water Users Assn. to secure legal
assistance to proceed against Recla-
nation Service. Pardon my humble
opinion but it sounds to me like bum
advice. The old saying that sugar
catches more flies than vinegar is a
pretty good one to remember. AS |
remember the report of the Board of
Review which was made public last
year showed only small per cent of
the total cost of the project was spent
in way that was of no benefit to the
water users mot much more if any
than is usually wasted in similar en-
terprises. The reason the cost per
acre ON the Boise project is so much
higher than originally estimated is due
to the fact more bitches and reservoirs
have been constructed than originally
contemplated and less land irrigated.
The building of the Arrow Rock dam
accounts for large portion of the ad-
ditional cost. The construction | don't
think was included in the original es-
innate but as | remember it before the
dam was built some very enthusiastic
meetings were held to prove to the
hIHly wiz WNlC dSlllS
an advisory board that it should be
built. Some very glowing figures were
produced to show what enormous re-
turns could be derived from an acre of
fruit land if sufficient water was as
sured. Later on we wanted drainage
which was not originally contemplat-
ed. In the meantime survey of land
showed that there was considerable
high land and sandy land which could
not be irrigated and the acreage
which was to bear the expense of con-
struction of the project was reduced.
1t occurs to me before we start any
thing we wants to look at both sides to
this proposition. No doubt the Recla-
nation Service has made mistakes one
of the chief of which is that it did not
insist in the beginning that our irri-
CATION District be formed so that it
could have some tangible body then
which would deal with the settlers the
same as it has done with the Pioneer
and Nampa- Meridian. A contract
have been drawn with the district and
the water users could have had some
thing to say about how much money
they were willing should be spent to
irrigate and drain their lands. Where
ever one makes a deal he generally
wants to know what the cost will be
and if this interesting feature is left
till the end trouble as rule will re-
suit Had the Reclamation Service
kept the people fully advised of what
moneys they are expanding and what
it would cost per acre to do the work
the land owners would not now be so
suspicious. In private irrigation COM
panies and districts the land owner is
given a vote in expanding money and
in mourning indebtedness Itwould seem

high power rifle.
There is whole latitude in the
choice of % calibre repeater as to
weight, length of barrel, style OF &C
ton, etc. The length of barrel makes
no practical difference SO far as &C
curacy goes and neither does weight
provided you are able to hold the very
light rifle steady. In selecting a rifle,
therefore. you should pick one riaed
and chambered for the % long rifle
cartridge and stick to that cartridge
exclusively, using either Lesmok or
semi-smokeless powder. The length
of barrel and whether it is round or
octagon makes no difference. AS to
choice of action, this is up to you. The
rifle should be take-down and you
should be able to clean it from the
breech, for the % barrel, being small,
requires more care than the larger
calibers.
The sight equipment can be any
thing from the regular sights supplied
with the rifle to a high priced tele-
scope sight-probably the best sight,
considering the cost, Is rear peep
sight with not too small an aperture,
the front sight to be preferably OF the
bead type-the question OF whether
ivory or gold being governed to a
large extent by the light conditions
under which the rifle will be used. A
very light trigger pull is not advisable
about a four pound pull is right.
For ammunition. you will find the
hollow point bullet cartridges surpris-
ingly effective for game shooting. If
you do not believe it, try them on
fresh bar laundry soap in comparison
with the regular bullets.
The ever present % repeater, when
properly treated. is not toy and con-
sidering the amount Of money IN volv-
ed, pays big dividends in the pleasure
produced.

THE MOST POPULAR RIFLE.


This is a dark and dismal secret,
and | really should not put it in the
Column anyway, but just between you
and me-very confidently speaking
| wish to state that the most popular
rifle is the % calibre repeater.
Dozens of the little lead singers
are sold to one big game rifle in spite
of the fact that most of the comment
the big rife. Perhaps the reason there
is so little comment is because the. ~
repeater so capably fills the require
ments in its field. 1t is surprising the
amount of pleasure which can be OBJ
tanned from the % repeater and one
hundred .22 long rifle cartridges dur
ing an afternoon at the targets. The
net expense is about 40 cents. a
sportsman may have shotgun, or
high power rifle, or both, but no mat
ter what other fire arms he has, some
where in his collection you are almost
sure to find % calibre repeater. The
newer light weight take-down models
are ideal for canoe trips, hshing trips
and other expeditions where the main
object is not hunting.
There are two types OF firearms
which are used for small game-the
u rifle and the very small guage
shotgun. OF course, the man who con-
siders himself true sportsman does
not use a shotgun on still game as
there certainly is no skill required to
hit a squirrel with a shotgun at close
range when he is sitting there look
ing at you. There is far more salts
faction in proportion to the size of the
animal in knocking a squirrel out Of
the top of tree with a % repeater
than there is in anchoring deer with

PROSPERITY
IN THIS COUNTRY
DUE TO WAR

Emboldened by their unchalleneed
assumption that the Democratic ad-
ministration has brought whatever de-
gree of prosperity this county is now
enjoying, the Democratic National
Committee now expressly asserts that
the Democratic party has overcome
the period of depression and has just
issued large bulletin across the top
Of which is printed in large letters
Democracy brings era of unexam-
pied prosperity" A similar claim
was made by President Wilson in his
Jefferson Day Speech, when he said:
I'VE have turned thoughts and the
energies and the conquering genius of
men of America to the great field of
the business of the world at large"
These two assertions raise an issue
of fact-an issue which can be deter
mined by an almost conclusive mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration. Was it the
Democratic party that brought tenn
porary return of prosperity? Was it
! the Democratic party that turned the
conquering genius, of the business men
of America to the great field of the
world at large? Let us see.
Democrats Turned Balance Against Us
The chief factor in determining In
dustrial conditions is the balance OF
trade. While there are other factors
that very materially affect financial
condition.. the balance of trade most
nearly reflects the condition of pro-
ductive enterprise. We present here
with brief table showing the month
ly balances of trade of the United
States beginning with October, 1913,
when the Underwood Tariff law was
enacted, and covering period of IA
months, from which it will be seen
that at that trade was largely in fav-
or of the United States, but it stead
lily diminished until in April, 1914, the
balance of trade was against us and
continued against us until September,
one month after the outbreak of the
| European war:

D. T, B.
Can you give me a practical form
ula to ascertain the trajectory of the
fight of bullet?
Ans. If you know the time it takes
the bullet to travel from the muzzle
to the end of the range, the formula
to use is H-4(T)2. al" equals the
greatest height of trajectory in feet
and ct" equals the time of fight.
c. D.
How is the range for accuracy of a
cartridge ascertained? By that mean
the trajectory is so much at a given
distance; how do they know at what
range the rifle is suited? Tests,
should think, would vary too much to
verify it.
Ans. The ange for accuracy of a
cartridge is rather an indefinite guam
tity 1t is determined by experiment.
Trajectory has nothing to do with the
accuracy of cartridge.

NOMOre Pure
Food License
for GrOcers

Grocers of Tacoma will not pay
81 annual pure food license
hereafter, according to one pro-
vision of the new license code,
which is being completed this
week by Commissioner Petit.
There are between 700 and $50
stores and confectioneries in Ia
coma coming under this head, but
the city has never collected more
than half of the licenses, and the
inspection has been poor, accord
ing to Petit.
~ do not think 1t is fair to
charge a pure food license when
we are not inspecting these
Stores as often as once a year,"
he declared. 1--WE will make up
this loss of revenue, 81, 800, in
some other way"
Another feature of the new or
dinance will be the motion pic
ture license fee. Instead of pay
ing on a sliding scale, according
to the admission price of the
houses, the movies will be al
lowed to charge any admission
price they wish, on a flat license
fee.
