HEAD OF CITY STEPS ASIDE TO
LET OTHERS ASSUME THE
BURDEN OF OFFICE
DISCUSSES WATER IN HIS FOR
NAL DEC[INATION
Differs From Citizens Signing Report
Which Criticized The Report of En-
gineer Louis c. Kelsey and Defends
Kelsey.

Reiterating his belief that the citi-
zen's committee which reported unfa-
vorably on the Kelsey report with ref
erence to waterworks and assuring the
people of his sincere desire to see a
good waterworks system installed,
Mayor E. NJ Sweeley in a formal sign
ed statement today announced that he
would not again be a candidate for the
position which he now holds. The
statement follws:
April 4th. 1917.
To the People of Twin Falls:
The formal call for the City Elec-
tion will be ssued during next week,
setting the election for April gath,
and calling for the election of Mayor,
Councilmcn and Clerk.
In view of the approaching cam
paign I wish to submit the following
statement:
The hope of two years ago-fnd-
ing a source of pure water in suffici-
ent amount for the city's needs, both
present and future-is impossible.
There remains only the building of
system which will take water from
the most practical source and by mod
ern methods and equipment make it
safe, palatable and satisfactory, and
distribute it over the city so as to af-
ford fair and even service to all.
This at the smallest first cost which
will insure through the years effec-
tive service and a minimum of upkeep
expense.
For the past two years my time
and energies have been consistently
devoted to this problem, with the
other work of the city, to such an ex-
tent as to the affect my private affairs,
and there is now for your considera-
tion and action a bond issue for the
construction of the system planned
by Mr.. Kelsey after months of work,
in the light of years of experience,
and with a full knowledge OF the
present system, the service now
available and that needed, fire pro-
tectisn, and other matters.
This plan has been recommended
for rejection by a committee COM
posed of Messrs. Channel, Ostrander,
Hart, Eldridge and Swim. / firmly
believe the committee acted in all
good faith and only regret that they
did not see fit to devote enough
more time, of which there was plen-
ty, to make their plan more clear,
and indicate in a general way at
! least what parts of the present sys-
TEN they expected to continue to use,
the engineer they expected to have
, plan the substitute system, what
1 parts of the city were to have left to
them the present service, and what
was to have new installation.

German Antecedents or Sympathizes
With Germany.

Below is a statement made by E. E.

pany, today:
To my fellow townsmen and asso-
ciate citizens: l wish TO state that /
am an American citizen. loyal and
true. l am not connected with nor
related to German ancentry and do
not sympathize with the Germans in
their relentless inhuman warfare. The

SACRIFICES QUIETLY MADE BY
TWIN FALLS PEOPLE FOR
CAUSE OF COUNTRY
LARGE CROWD ATTENDS MEETING
At LAVERING
Fnlistments Not Coming In As Fast
AS Desired-Three New Men Enter
The Regular Army In The Aviation
Corps Here.

To a crowded house at the Laver-
ing Tuesday night. Charles d. Thomas
of this city explained practical pa
triotism as it is being manifested IN
this city at this time. Mr.. Thomas
gave as an example an instance where
a certain man in order that a member
of the guard might go to the front,
was contributing $50 a month to the
support of the family. A certain real
estate man had deferred all payments
due on a piece of land purchased by
a guardsman until after the war and
agreed to knock off all interest. The
address was literally applauded.
The whole entertainment was great
ly enjoyed and the flag was cheered
when 1t was thrown upon the screen.
The number of men enlisted in Com
pany d up to noon today was lS2. VI
these probably ten will enter other
lines of service later and should the
second examination prove more rigid
than the first, it is likely that the
total will be cut down to 12O. Fully
fifty more are needed in order to be
ready for all contingencies. The same
condition which has existed is still
manifest; there seems to be plenty OF
patriotism and willingness to make
sacrifice, but this is not made mani
fest by any great number of enlist
mentS.
Three new men, Rex Lue, Jasper e
Mckinney and r. A. Hewitt have made
application to join the aviation corps
and it is expected that they will be
accepted.
The band has been ordered to be in
readiness to go but transportation mas
not arrived The band goes to Boise
Rollo Crater and John Kendall o.
The medical corps have been called.

Tho following from the Okolona
Messenger il : true statement Of the
productiveness Of the soil in this
section Of Mississippi. The corn
crop here is not unusual this year,
it lie just an average under similar
weather conditions and acreage at
all times. and represents but frac-
ton of what it would haye been had
labor been more plentiful:
1t is true that more corn will be
gathered here this year than has been
gathered in any one year for quite a
while, because more is planted. But
this section has made more corn and
better corn than it is making this
year. Much of the upland now run
down, used to average around sixty
bushels of corn to the acre and much
of it was planted to corn. During
the civil war the women, old men,
negroes and children made and gath
cred more corn in a year than will
be made here this year.
An old soldier told us the other
day that ne had seen a hundred
thousand bushels of corn on fire
where our depot now stands. This
was government corn and was a
tenth of the corn grown near here.
Another old soldier told us of seeing
the railroad below town lined for
miles and miles with rail pens filled
with corn.
In fact Mississippi is the home
of the corn. 1t holds the worlds
record for a single acre and hun
dred acre field. And besides that ii
is good wheat state, the average
yield being about the same as the
great wheat state, Kansas. There
is nothing to keep our people from
growing all the corn they want to il
they turn their attention to it,
