Sterilization of the price of sugar
and its by-products and great in
creases in the supply are intcnts
of the food control commission
which became more manifest yes
terday, the former in an an
nouncement that the industry is
to be licensed and the latter
through the announcement of the
arrival of cargo of sugar beet
seed at Vancouver for delivery to
the United States for distribution
among the beet growers and
among others who may be Undue
ed to grow bects in the United
States.
BY a system Of licensing the
food commission hopes to stabil-
ize sugar prices, and by a control
of its distribution to prevent
boarding as we'll as speculation.
Not only will refined and raw
sugar be thus controlled but so
also will the by-products of mo-
lasses and syrups. These latter
will be placed under a control
that is practically identical with
raw cane sugar.
Cuba is meeting the plan half
way anil has named a committee
to go to Washington and consult
with the food control commits
sion regarding participation in
the price fixing program that is
to be outlined.

TELLS OF PLAN

Licensing of the sugar indus
try was provided for by a special
proclamation made by the Presi-
dent yesterday. Later in the day
Hoover said that imports and ex-
ports of sugar, especially the lat
ter would be licensed under the
rinM"seI system as would be, the
retincries, brokers, distributors
ard jobbers. He added that beet
sugar and cane sugar were alike
included in the provisions that
are to be issued and that molasSes
and sugar syrups will also be
cared for.
In Havana yesterday a meet
ing Of Cuban sugar growers was
held and a committee to go to
Washington and consult with the
food commission there was select
ed, They had previously been
informed OF some of the plans
and of the proposed price that
was to be fixed and had been con-
suited, fully even as to what
might be considered a fair price
to show reasonable profit to the
producers.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC WAR
RALLY At BULL
New Theatre Building Crowded to Ca
pacity last Night in Interest of Com
pany h.

hastily called meeting of the char
acter indicated by the foregoing head
lines served to prove the awakening
loyalty and interest of the citizens of
Bull and vicinity, in that the house
was crowded to the DOORS
The first notable incident of the ev-
ening was the appearance of a stalwart
member of Company X leading by a
telegraph wire looped about his neck,
another and very popular member of
the company, while a compact column
of his comrades brought up the rear.
Inquiry elected the fact that the sol
dier under discipline had been down
to Twin Falls during the day and had
taken unto himself a wife-a proceed
ing evidently frowned upon in that
crowd of young patriots.
The meeting was called to order by
Captain Biggs, who explained the
cause and nature of the call to arms
and the needs of Company admit
ting the hardships of throwing up a
four or five dollar day job for a
fifty cent one; but relying upon q
sense of duty and the promptings o1
of patriotism to bring about the de-
sired result.
Mr.. G. l.. Longley was called upor
and made a thirty minutes talk, in g
general way, about what was, what is
and what shall be.
Mr. Miller, who was introduced as
German American, gave an exceed
ingly patriotic and pertinent address
in which he fully demonstrated that
though he might have once been
German, by descent, at least, he wal
now a full fledged American, withou
any hyphen.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO
TO UNKNOWN MAN
A Stranger in the City Sustains BrOk-
en- Leg Through Apparent Failure to
Hear Danger Signals.

Shortly after IL o'clock this morn
ing, an unknown man, about forty-five
years of age, while walking along the
tracks at the o. S. L. crossing on
Main avenue east, had his left leg
broken above the ankle, and sustain
about the face, when an incoming en-
gine struck him from the read and
threw him to the side of the tracks.
The injured man was picked up by
witnesses to the accident and rushed
to the Twin Falls hospital where he
is now being treated.
W. ]. Hough, driver for the Nc
Nichols Transfer company, was driv-
ing into Twin Falls and was within
800 feet of the man at the time of the
accident. Mr.. Hough says he noticed
that the man failed to get off the
track. although the trainmen had
whistled for some distance before
reaching the crossing. The stationery
bell was also ringing, but for some
reason the injured man failed to hear
these warnings and although the engi-
neer, after realizing that the man had
failed to take warning, tried to STOP
1
pletely stop it before the man was
struck 1t was several feet before
the engine came to a standstill ano
the cowcatcher had rolled the mar
to the left side of the track. He was
unconscious when picked up by sew
eral who hurried to the scene of the
accident and placed upon the Nc
Nichols dray.
Charlie Lowe, who lives nearby
helped bring the man into town. He
stated that although he did not SEE
the engine hit the man, he heard botl
the whistle and bell and looked to
ward the engine in time to see the MAJ
lying at the side of the tracks.
The victim did not sustain any grea
loss of blood while being brought int
town, and until late this afternoon haC
not fully regained consciousness.

FARM BUREAU TO
WORK WITH u. S.
Cooperation in Preparing County AS
sured-President White Appeals For
New Members.

In view of the statement yesterday
Secretary of Agriculture Houston, the
farmers should realize more fully than
ever the desirability of joining the
farm bureau movement in the interest
OF patriotism" said President John e.
White today, "as the secretary appeals
to both patriotism and sound econom-
les.
We have some 500 members in this
county and should have 600 more The
country needs cooperative efforts on
the part of the farmers. Secretary
Houston points out that by working
together they can avoid wastes in
production, that they can secure bet
ter seed, secure better disinfection,
prepare better for planting and can
treat more successfully pests and dis
seases in cereal vegetables and fruits
He suggests many good things in the
way of saving products after they are
produced.

BOND ISSUE LEGAL
PHASES ARE CONSIDERED
Attorneys Study Laws in Effort to
Find Means to Vote For Good Roads
Through County.

County Attorney F. L. Stephan and
Attorney A. W. Ostrom who represents
the Buhl highway district are consid-
ering the legal points involved in the
decision of the supreme court with
reference to the distribution of funds
secured from the sale of bonds voted
for roads in counties within the
boundaries of which Independent road
districts have been created.
The supreme court has held that
where a county as a whole votes bonds
for roads and sells them it cannot di-
vide the proceeds of the lump sum so
obtained with any road district with
in its limits. The point that the at
torneys have in mind is the possibil-
ity of voting bonds and using the
funds so obtained to fix the entire
system of roads under section 16 of
the session laws of 1911 permitting the
county and the road district to coop
crate. 1t is thought possible that
should this be deemed feasible a call
might be issued for an election and a
test case made by means of Injunction
proceedings in order to get the SUI
0reme court to pass upon the validity
of such action.
Nothing definite has been determine
ed on the point as the attorneys have
not yet made up their minds in regard
to the possibilities of such a plan
might be.

Registration books are now oDen for

beyond the fact that City Clerk R. M.

field. nothing seems positive.

In addition to above saving, we
recommend that as much as possible
of the present distribution system be
used as long as it will serve the pur-
pose. We are confident that a very
large reduction can be made from
the proposed expenditure of $780,
807.62. If we can salvage even to
the extent of $50, ,O76.0O, we have cut
from the proposed cost the sum of
1925, 100000, and will deliver to the
people of Twin Falls all the water we
can use and as good water as we
should obtain by a much larger ex-
penditure.
The estimated salvage of $33, ,076
is approximately one-half the physi-
cal valuation at present of the dis
tribution system on the basis of the
Horn report.

SHALL WISCONSIN CELEBRATE
WITH AN HISTORICAL PAGEANT

In the spring of 1917 Wiseonsin's
beautiful capitol will be completed. In
1887, just eighty years ako, the tiny
procession Of oxteams and workers
toiled painfully overland from Milwau-
kee to begin the erection, in the heart
of the virgin wilderness, Of the first
capital building at Madison. The pres
ent building is the third to be construc-
ted on this site. In eighty years Wis
consin has progressed from the estate
of a wilderness outpost to that Of one
of the leading members Of the sister
hood of American commonWealths.
Measured in terms of dollars and cents
the progress has been from capitol
building planned to cost $4,000 to one
costing almost $4,000, 000-an increase
of 10000 percent. In many other re-
spects the progress made in eighty
years has been equally striking. in
recent years, many communities have
celebrated such anniversaries, often
times with far less excuse than Wis
consin now has, with beautiful and
striking historical pageants. Such pa
geants at st. Louis, at Boston, at Chi
cago, Freeport, Beloit, and elsewhere
have attracted scores of thousands of
interested spectators, and have afford
ed a rare combination of clean recrea-
ton and patriotic instruction. It is
time for Wisconsin to consider how the
new State capitol shall be dedicated.
The suggestion is advanced herewith
that no more appropriate method than
a suitable historical pageant can be
devised. The consideration and com
ment of the editors and newspaper
readers of the State is courted.

DROPS TWO GAMES

The high school team lost its first
game to New London on Friday with
a score of p to %. After a day of
waiting for trains the basketball
team reached New London and played
its game at midnight. A slippery
floor and home official were obstacles
that proved to be too much for the
local team. The score at the end of
the first half was IS to in favor of
New London. The second half saw
a change in the game as the visiting
team became accustomed to the sur
roundings, we secured 7 goals to New
London's one but the lead was too
great to be met in the twenty min
utes of the second half. The team
was up early Saturday and travelled
till noon getting home.

BICYCLE RIDING is
NOT A DEAD SPORT

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 5.-If any
one supposes bicycle riding is a dead
sport, he doesn't know Judge A. c.
Run1el of Milwaukee. Judge Runkel
is the champion optimist. He vows
bicycle riding will come into favor al
most as widespread as in the famous
days of the bicycle "craze" when it
was the proper thing to be seen on the
fashionable boulevards, pedaling a
two-wheeler. Judge Runkel is newly
elected president of the North Side
Cycling club here and intends to stage
a bicycle race which will put the bike
on the map again.
