Minstrels A Success.

The ladies of the Civic Club GER
tsinly scored a great success In the
production of their home talent min
strel show which was given before a
very large and appreciative audience
at the Amusement hall on Thursday
evening last. The stage was taste
fully decorated with American flags
and as the curtain went up the scene
was very elaborate one, the ladies
being attired in patriotic uniforms,
and much of the program was given
over to a patriotic nature. 1t was
hard to distinguish the various parti-
cipants with their coal black faces.
and the appearance of Mrs Heiss,
as interluctor. attired in white, with
her face devoid of any of the burnt
cork, presented quite a contrast
Mesdames Burkey, Gould. Peters and
Fraser as the end men were prof.
cient in their parts and the jokes that
they perpetrated on some of the To-
cal men were heartily received, and
we trust kindly so by those who
We're the targets for these Jokes,
though some might have hit pretty
close at home. The soloists were all
accorded most hearty encore aand
while it would be quite impossible
10 call attention to each individual
act, The Piccaninies" as sung by lit
tie Miss Jane Burkey. and the dane
ing by Miss Everett, OF Wendell. de-
serve especial mention and their eff
forts met with a most hearty ap-
plause.
The entertainment represented i
great amount of work on the part OF
the ladies, and We are pleased to
note that their efforts were appre-
ciated by such large and apprecia-
tive audience.
Following the entertainment a
dance was given under the auspices
of the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal
church, which also proved a most
pleasant af1air and was participated
in by large number OF our young
people. as also some OF the older
ones

The sudden movement for agricul-
tural and commercial preparedness
is certainly a very meritorious one.
and farmers throughout this section
as well as throughout the nation are
responding to the call of the govern
ment for the intensive cultivation of
every available acre of ground the
coming season. Many farmers how
ever. are hampered in their desire to
respond to the call by the rapid ad-
vance in the prices of grain and seeds
of various kinds. A plan is now be-
ing formulated by the agricultural
department of the government to
take supervision of the food and
grain supply of the country and con-
gress will be asked to give authority
to the department to license and su-
pervise the operations of all plants.
mills. packing houses. and all fac
tories I'm which food and feeds are
manufactured or kept for sale or dis
tribut1on.
While the government is now agi-
tating the putting to use OF every
available acre of ground. II should
at this time take hand I'm the super
vision OF the prices of the grain and
seeds to be planted. Take wheat for
instance. Earlier in the season 10
cal dealers were asking $3.50 per
hundred for seed wheat, but last
week the same wheat was quoted at
S425 per hundred. We are not
blaming the local dealers for this ad-
vance. as OF course they must be gov
erned by the wholesale market for
this product, but II would seem that
the big elevators which control the
supply of wheat in the country. have
taken advantage of the government s
agitation for greater production. and
boosted the price to a figure that will
deter many Of the farmers from put
ting in this crop this season. Again
we say, Il Is time for the government

Brings Discouraging Message.

The British commission. headed by
Foreign Secretary. Arthur J. Balfour.
who have been sent to this country
to confer on the war policy of the
allies. landed on American soil last
week. and the message that Balfour
brings. is a warning to this nation Of
a cruel and prolonged warfare ahead
of them. Realize. people of Amer
lea. that you lace a real fight. and be
prepared for great individual sacri-
flee, for it will be demanded" said
the Foreign Secretary.
Balfour made it clear that the war
will be long. that il will tax our
resources of men; it will require all
We have of financial strength; ii will
command our commercial and indus
trial energy; ii will involve the indi-
vidual effort of every true American
We have come" he said, ito help
America turn the first page in a new
chapter in the history of mankind"
The United States does not yet
realize all it will be called upon TO do
and what we know il will do And
II is much. Time will bring the war
home to you-as it has done TO us -
But" il was suggested. there is
an impression that we will be called
upon to do nothing but make muni-
tions and build ships"
Balfour's expression showed clear
ly that he was astonished After a
pause, he said significantly:
you shall see"
II appreciate" he went on, that
il will be quite a little time before
the people of the United States-to
borrow an American phrase--thor-
oughly realize what they are up

to inaugurate little Investigation
along this line.
That the advance in price is not
due to any shortage is evidenced by
dispatches chronicling the fact that
100 car loads Of wheat are to be ship
ped daily from the Portland market
to the Atlantic seaboard for export
to Europe. and the further fact ac-
cording to a dispatch from Minnea-
polls, which states that a glut of
100000 bushels of grain are now
paralysizing that market, and at the
present rate not over one-third of
this surplus will be moved before the
new 1917 crop begins to arrive.
With these facts before US, there
seems TO be no need of the advance
in the prices of wheat, and as self
preservation is the first law of ma
ture, instead OF exporting this wheat
to the European countries. the gov
ernment should adopt some plan to
supply the farmers with what seed
they desired at a reasonable figure.
Here also. is an opportunity for
little investigation on the part of the
county organization that has just
come into existence to encourage
the greater production OF foodstuffs
Think il over.

personally urge upon the governor
the necessity Of the state or federal
government furnishing guards for
this purpose. This delegation will
probably be Joined by other delega-
tions representing the various irriga-
ted tracts III this section of the state,
and We trust that their mission may
be successful as the success of the
farmers on these tracts represents
several millions OF dollars worth of
grain and food stuffs to be added to
the country's supply. We feel that
the people as a rule do not fully rea-
lie the seriousness of the situation,
as has been stated above it would
only require a few moments work on
the part of some miscreant to com
pletely ruin the prospects of the
farmers on this tract. At present
the Irrigation companies are closely
guarding the Miner dam, but It
would be impossible for them to
safely guard the entire system, and
We look for the governor to meet
this delegation half way at least.

The Scouts Camping Trip.

The Boy Scouts had a camping
trip to the canyon on Saturday and
Sunday of last week. starting at Sis
Saturday morning thinking it was
terribly hot and ended by thinking
ii was winter.
Struggling along for the first few
miles. they were halted and had
their pictures taken. They then
marched on in military fashion
marching at the beat of the drum.
After reaching the canyon they de-
scended in all sorts of fashions.
Arriving al place OF camp at
about - O'Clock. After eating din
ner they fixed camp ready for night
when a high wind arose that made
them move the camp over a hill.
In the new camp wood was scarce.
SO all went 90 get wood. They had
supper at about o'clock and at 9
o'clock went to sleep leaving two
guards for every hour. In the morn
ine they awoke with snow on the
ground. They started home at 9
O'Clock After going half way they
were met by autos which they were
glad to see and came on into town.

We are advised by the manage
ment of the Canal Co., that the work
of cleaning and repairing the bitches
is progressing as fast as it is possible
10 procure men and teams, and it
is thought now that the work will be
so far completed as to allow the
turning in of water about the first
of the coming month.
Some very exaggerated reports
have gone the rounds OF a bad break
in the cement section of the canal
near Miner. This caused q party of
farmers to visit the point this week.
where they found the break of no
particular magnitude. and It is being
repaired and will not deter the turn
ing on of the water as soon as the
work Oh the bitches is completed.

$500 Per Year
To Help on the Farm.

Governor Alexander has addressed
letter to the State Commissioner of
Education, suggesting the early clos
ing Of the spring term of schools
throughout the state, and the public
Institutions, in order that the stu
dents who are able may lend their
assistance in getting the crops in the
ground
Already this plan has been carried
out in some localities, where all stu
dents Of the eighth grade and high
school are being excused for the re-
mainder OF the term, with full Gre
dit for the years work
The matter has been brought to
the attention of the school board of
this district, but from the fact that
the term ends next week, no formal
action has been taken by the board,
but We understand that all students
who are able to do farm labor, and
who so desire, will be excused for the
remainder of the term. with full Gre
dit. providing the request is made
by he parent or guardian of the pu-
pill
From the fact that the season is
late. and all the work seems to come
in bunch, this action seems a very
proper one, and it is likely that It
viii be taken advantage of by many
OF the boys who are anxious to as
sist with the work on the farm.
