Business VS.. Politics in Idaho.

The governor of Idaho is a
business man and he has pruned
ont of the appropriations heaped
up by the politicians in the late
legislature $422, 282 by use of the
veto ak.
He further declares it to be his
ambition when he retires at the
end of 1919 he will try to leave a
surplus of $5O0,0O for his success
sor instead of a deficit.
The net appropriations for the
next two years total, after de-
Quoting vetoes, $3,645, Ill Iof
which 81, 1894, 562 are for the high
er educational institutions, state
university and normal schools.
The total net appropriations are
100000 above those of two years
ago, largely on account of the
people, or rather the officeholding
class, demanding new functions
and extensions of their jobs.

The Boy Scouts are being Or
ganized in our city. We would
suggest as first thought that
they take up the work of plant
ing as many vacant lots around
town as possible and make them
produce something worth while
instead of weeds.

The spring freshet is now on
and Cottonwood creek is up to its
old trick of overlooking Main
street. If the street were paved
the freshet would wash it clean
as the floor but now it may do
several hundred dollars worth of
damage. This is another argu-
ment for paving.

The man who maliciously starts
a tale against the loyalty of the

not a good citizen and will bear

We are inclined to believe that
Mrs. Duffy's fine patriotic win

part in causing many of the boys

MUST BE RECRUITED
TO FULL STRENGTH
Orders Concerning National Guard Or
ganizations-Local Armory to Be
Open at All Times.

Orders have been received directing all
National Guard organizations To be i'm
mediately recruited to full strength Re
serves are to be called about July ID.
These are to go back 10 taear companies
il not full, but in that event to other
organizations. Company | will gain sey-
eral men from the reserve.
The burden of filling the ranks rests
primarily upon the community repre-
sented. The National Guard organiza-
ton represents the patriotic spirit of the
county. Every man and woman may
well talk enlistment from now on. ANY
public meeting where enlistmentS are not
encouraged falls short OF its purpose.
Every organization having for its object
service to the public should use every
effort to get young men to join.
In Massachusetts business men and
others are making a canvass Of every
town in order that the companies may
be promptly filled

DAIRY PRODUCTS IN NEED OF
CONSERVATION.

Warning that conservation Of
dairy products must be not only a
war measure, but must be carried on
after the war. has been given by the
Food Administration.
'The worlds dairy supplies are de-
creasing rapidly" says the state
ment. Gwen our own dairy sup
plies are not keeping pace with our
growth of population. Yet we must
ship increasing amounts of dairy
products to our allies.
''The people must realize the de-
pendence Of the well-being of their
children and thus of the nation, upon
the encouragement and upbuilding Of
the industry. We must save the
wastes in milk and butter if we are
to provide milk supplies to all, espe-
cially including the children Of the
crowded districts of our Cities"

HONEY FOR EDUCATION FROM

Dogs are great factors in the edu-

Ing dogs. according to the State Su.

one of the best ways county superin-

cational standard Of the State.
Money gained In dog taxes goes
for education under the new law.
Payment Of sheep claims partially
takes from the canine tax receipts,
but the majority of dog tax dollars

superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton v. o. Gilbert wrote to all
county superintendents saying that
Z large number Of dogs were going

counties were properly assessed for
taxation

ELECTRIC BARBERING.

The latest device to save time,
which nowadays, according to the
economists, is more valuable than
ever before, has appeared in bar
Der shop In big Eastern city. It is
a hair-cutting machine driven by a

for the new device that 1t not only
reduces the labor Of the barber to a
minimum, but 1t cuts the time nee.
essary Tor q haircut almost In half.
Also, according to the inventor, by
doing away with the physical labor OF

LIQUID FIRE.

Detailed descriptions of the "Flam-
menwarfer," or fiame-throwers used
by the Germans in thier attacks have
reached this country. The apparatus
consists of tank holding mixture
of oil and benzine at a pressure Of
800 pounds to the square inch. The
pressure is secured by pumping in
nitrogen gas. A pipe and flexible
hose lead to the nozzle, where burn
ing oil wick ignites the outrushing
stream of oil. The spray of flame is
cast about 100 feet, with tremen-
dous roar and great blaze of light,
The effect is said to be largely psy-
Geological, consisting chiefly in the
demonstration of the opposing troops.
The flame throwers grow less and
less effective as the enemy becomes
familiar with their work.

More Motor Car Value
At Less Actual Cost
This the day of big values in motor cars Never be-
fore the history of the industry have you been able
to buy, per dollar, much comfort, much utility,
SO much real motoring value.
We make this statement in the face of sensational adj
in the cost of labor and materials Those
makers who have followed the scientific,
progressive manufacturing methods that have made
the industry remarkable have been forced to adj
the price of their anywhere near the pro-
portionae increase in the cost of materials.
We believe that other industry has achieved as
group of successful motor car manufacturers among
them the Paige-have achieved-in constantly in
creasng quality and constantly keeping down the cost
Today you buy motoring value for $1,000 than
you could for $500 five years ago.
Then your purchase price did include sefstarter,
windshield, top headlights tire carrier etc. Now
you find all these things well innumberabe Others
making for luxury and comfort, your when it
leaves the factory The purchasing power of the dollar
in this field has increased to extraordinary degree
AS for the relation of price value the Detroit
Motor Car Company has always been in most for
tunate position. Low capitalization, low overhead,
low profit per car combined with scientific manage
ment and the most complete manufacturing equipment
have enabled this company to put the maximum OF
value into its product and also to keep the price down.
These unique assets too. for the quality that goes
into every Paige quality which has reduced to
the minimum the cost of maintaining and driving and
enjoying The Most Beautiful Car in America.
That why you can buy much quality in The Most
Beautiful Car in America at so low figure in spite

DEATH MAY CHANGE
POLITICAL SITUATION

The death of Representative Conry
OF New York places the Democrats at
disadvantage in he coming fight for
central Of the lower branch Of Con-
gress. The November election result
ed in the return of 2l5 Democrats. 2l5
Republicans and five members Of diff
ferent political views Before the
death Of Mr. Conry three Of the indie
pendent votes would be sufficient to
swing ,he scales either way. Uader
present conditions the Republicans
can elect their candidate for Speaker
with the aid OF three Of the minor par
ty members, while the Democrats
must secure four votes in order to
insure success. If three Of the indie
pendents should support Champ Clark
and the other two vote for leader
Mann, the result would be tie and
long drawn out battle in the House
If there is to be an extraordinary
session OF Congress the fight for con
troll must be settled before action of
