ply awarded them as champions of the
first Southern Idaho basketball tour

consolation cup bested their final
competitors, Shoshone, by two points.
This was the first affair of its kind
to occur in Idaho and much interest
was shown by the schools in this part
of the state. E. P. Nafziger, coach
of the local basketball team, suggest
ed such a function to the various
schools over six weeks ago, and who
favored it were represented here Fri
day and Saturday. They were Sho-
shone, Jerome, Gooding, Rupert, Hey
burn, Kimberly, Hollister, Buhl, Twin
Falls, and Oakley Academy. All the
contestants were in favor of making
it an annual affair
In order to give all contestants an
equal chance, the names of the vari-
GUS teams were written on cards and
dropped in box. A boy was blind
folded, and given the box. The first
two cards drawn by him made the
match for the beginning of the first
series. They were drawn as follows
Kimberly VS.. Shoshone, Twin Falls VS.
Jerome, Rupert VS.. Buhl, Gooding VS.
Hollister, and Oakley VS.. Hepburn.
The first game, between Kimberl,
and Shoshone, was a surprise to ev
eryone concerned. Kimberly won thu
game by the score of 16 to IT, through
good team work For as little prac
tice as Kimberly has had they car
boast an excellent team. Shoshont
was thus dropped into class B, to com

and Bull, resulted in defeat for Buhl

score of 33 to 13. Hollister Shove
much improvement over her form c
two weeks ago. Gooding also playe
most of her subs, holding the regu
lars in reserve for the coming gam
with Rupert.

NEW WsIRR|GAT|ON
DISTRICT FORMED
Hansen Butte Watering is Object Of
Organization Formed This Week at
Murtaugh.

Another project for the watering of
Hansen Butte is reported this week,
being in the nature of the formation
of a district at Murtaugh for the ir-
ragation Of lands, including part of the
land which lies within the territory
in which the Twin Falls Miner Land
& Water company and the Miner
Canal company originally planned to
operate.
Whether connected with the new
move or not, it is reported that H. T.
Stevens, who signed a contract with
the companies will ask the court 10
release him, presumably with viey
of joining In the district.
The new district has been tempor-
arily organized by the election of o..
D. Bills of Hansen as president and
George B. Schweiger of Twin Falls as
secretary Other directors are w. H.
Turner of Kimberly, H. Ashdown of
Burley, T. Rutledge and M. Bowley of
Murtaugh, A. H. Derringer of Hansen
and Albert Dunken of Kimberly.
The promoters assert that they have
filed on reservoir project at Jackson
hole big enough to hold 100000 acre
feet of water and have filed on plenty
of Snake river flood water to irrigate
$4,000 acres. They say that they have
the money in sight for the preliminary
work and that they will push things
right along. They claim to have some
$4,000 acres already signed up. ]. Fl.
Burkett of this city is engineer and
Sweeley & Sweeley attorneys for the
district.
In the meantime the work of prep
aration by the other companies named
above is going on steadily and assur-
ance is given that plans will be car
ried out on schedule time.
IN. Bowley, who is among the or
ganizers of the district mentioned
told me some time ago that he would
go in with us if we would buy Out

we would not he would fight u.s. said

withered hand of beggary and

Having before our vision a
picture of those sturdy people of
colonial days it makes us blush
with shame to even imagine a
defeat of our mighty nation to-
day and the downfall of the H.
berty which they so gallantly
fought for. We are a mighty ma
ton today! And we can and will
accomplish what we have set
forth to do, but it requires the
united effort of each and every
one. Be you on the farm, a Ia
borer, or whatever your calling
may be, you have a duty to per-
form, and now more so than ever
before, do it the best you know
how-to the utmost of your abb
lily. And we must economic,
the great majority are doing it,
but there are some who can eco
nomize still more. The more we
practice these things the shorter
will be the war and the less
lives will be lost.
Let us hope that this awful
struggle may terminate in the
course Of the new year and that
the good people of Germany may
live in peace and liberty here
after, as we'll as the balance of
the world. We close with these
wishes and also the wishes of a
bright and happy 1918.

A NEW YEAR

Before another issue of the

home the new year, 1918, will
have ushered in. The past year
has been one of great anxiety in
our land, which has been felt To-
cally as we'll as at our national
capitol. Many homes are at pre-
sent short son or two or even
more-our young manhood who
are now preparing themselves to
do battle for their home and
country. In the immediate vici-
nifty of Askov there are about 80
such young men who are spend
ing the holidays away from home
and Preside, whose thoughts wan

to them, and likewise here the
hearts especially of the mothers
of those stern young men, are
with them wherever they are

LAWS OF SUBSCRIPTIONS

For the benefit of those who
are not familiar with the law re-
garding newspaper subscriptions
we give below the decision of
the United States Supreme
Court.
Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary
are considered as wishing to re-
new their subscription.
If subscribers order a discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until all dues are paid.
If subscribers continue to take
the periodicals from the postof-
flee to which it is directed, he is
responsible until he has settled
his bill and ordered the paper
discontinued.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the
publisher and the papers are sent
to the former address the SUBJ
scriber is held responsible.
The courts have held that re-
fusal to take periodicals from the
postoffice, or removing and leav-
ing them uncalled for is prima
facia evidence of intention to de-
fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do
not wish to continue taking it,
otherwise the publisher is au-
thorized to send it and the sub
scriber will be responsible until
express notice with payment of
all arrearages is made.

serving, be 1t IN America or
across the waters.
So far there has been no casu-
alties among Pine County sol
diers-that is from the result of
actual warfare-and let us hope
that there may not be any. Let
us also hope and pray that the
war may come to an end in the
coming year, but not unless a
decisive victory has been won
and the world has been made
safe for democracy. We feel safe
in saying that this is also the
spirit of our soldier boys; they
would rather die honorably on
the fields of battle than to re-
turn home without having OBJ
tanned their goal. United States
has always fought a war of
righteousness and our people of
today-regardless of being from
all corners of the earth-are i'm
bued with the same spirit of Ii
berty as our good forefathers in
the Thirteen Original Colonies.
When we think of how our peo-
pie in those days strove and suf-
fered for their liberty and the
liberty Of coming generations it
can but have one effect-that of
encouraging strengthening, and
making us firm in our determi-
nation to keep our land of the
free where it belongs-free from
the hands of tyranny. And not
alone our own land, but the
whole civilized world. We are
perhaps living in the greatest
history making days since the
birth of Christ.

About a County Agricultural
Agent
My Dear Mr.. Madden:-
Answering your objections to
the plan of Pine County getting
a County Agricultural Agent,
which recently appeared in the
Pine Poker" I shall be pleased
to give you some information
relating to this question.
honestly do believe, this move
ment is timely and economical.
have had such a move on my
mind for number of years, but
knowing l had not the ability to
start the thing moving, l have
been waiting for somebody else
to take the initiative, and l was
very much pleased, when l re-
ceived notice, that the govern
ment as war measure would
aid our county in this work, and
l have no doubt Pine County will
respond nobly, also in this line,
to the call from our government.
You will see from this, that it
was no office seeker who started
the movement.
The State of Minnesota has
not promised any aid, whatever;
the money appropriated by our
legislature for that kind of work
was long ago taken up by other
counties, that have been more
farseeing and progressive than
Pine County. The federal govern
ment has appropriated this aid
of 81, 800 a year for Pine County
for two years. if the county shall
provide for $1,000 a year. The
county commissioners said yes
they would do Soft the far
mers were enough interested in
the movement so as to organize
with a membership of at least
200 with a membership fee of 81
year for two years. Now then
it is up to us farmers to say
whether we will take the re-
sponsibility of this work. have
no doubt about what the answer
will be; and if some of the bust
ness men in our community are
interested in the agricultural
development of Pine County
they will not be barred from
subscribing to this fund; but the
so per cent of members must be
actual farmers.
In regard to increased taxation
to meet this and other expenses
of the county, l beg to state,
that Pine County last year had a
taxable valuation of more than
seven million, and | shall not be
surprised if it will be over eight
million next year. Pine County
is developing rapidly. at least
the northern part is. Everybody
knows. or ought to know, that it
takes a certain amount of energy
to make a move. and every move
creates heat. and heat creates
expansion (development).
A dormant (sleeping) commu-
nifty has only small or no taxes.
1t does not need them; it does
not know what it is good for. A
strong. live. developing commu-
nifty will always have high taxes:
| it is sign of life and prosperity,
