GOOD LAND
EASY TERMS
Idaho Offers Home Builders Fine OPP
pOrtunities to Obtain Farms
For Little Money

The last session of the legislature
made it easy for Industrious folks to
establish homes on agricultural log
ged-off land so far as payment for
the land is concerned. A new sec
ton was added to the law already on
the statute books regulating the sale
of state land. This is section 15S0a.
1t reads as follows:
whenever any state lands on
which the standing timber shall have
been sold and removed by the pur-
chasers or their assigns shall be turn
ed back to the state as stump lands,
the state land board shall cause the
same to be classified as soon there
after as possible as agricultural and
non-agricultural lands. When any of
said lands so classified as agricultural
lands shall be offered for sale the
terms of sale on the same shall be
as follows: Ten per cent of the pur-
chase price in cash on the day of
sale interest to be paid annually in
advance on the balance at the rate of
two per cent per annum for the first
five years after the date of sale and
at the rate of four per cent per an
mum for the second five years after
the date of sale. Thereafter the bal
ance of the principal due the state
shall be divided into thirty equal an
nual payments with interest at the
rate of six per cent per annum in ad-
vance on all deferred payments. The
purchaser shall have the right to
make payment in full with accrued
interest at any time. The contracts
and deeds for these lands are to be
made in the same manner and under
the same conditions as is prescribed
for other state lands in section 1880
of the Revised Codes of Idaho.
There is good land in Latah coun-
ty that comes under this designation,
agricultural logged-off land, and no
doubt these easy terms offered by the
state will appeal to readers of the

giving grown women the hard, back-strain-
ing work of the needle, at less than cents
day, 1T is no wonder that little children are
hired by the dollar seeking heather at 4 cents,
when said dollar-seeking Asiatic cares no more
for the uplift than the American dollar-seeker
does
On page 1914 of Prof Headland's book,
Home Life in China he says that, in the
Picking University, (missionarv) "We en-
ploy cook on the basis that he hires his own
help, we pay him $175 per month for board
ing each boy (student) he being expected to
get his own food and wages and that of his
assistants, out of this amount"
That was in 1914
The cook feeds the missionary students at
less than 6 cents day, and supports himself
and his aids, and pays his wages and theirs,
out Of that sum!
Did Willard Price need to travel all the
way to Asia for a sight Of pa1lid faced factory
girls?
He ought to have taken preliminary trip
to the tenements of the Fulton Bag and Cot
ton Factory, Atlanta, Ga
Or he might have secuted around the cot
ton mills of the Carolinas, and of the Stand
ard Oil Edens in New Jersey, and in the
Elysian Fields belonging to the Americans
who own the State of Colorado and the coal
lands.
If pallid factory girls and boys, men and
women are what give Willard Price the heart
ache, he can find all he wants in the mill
towns of these United States
And Willard will also find that none of the
churches or Boards are losing any considera-
BILE amount of sleep over those fearful home
conditions.
a. Willard proceeds-F'I saw things
which [ have not the heart to set down, and
you would not have the heart to read.''
He must be badly informed of American
conditions, if he thinks that Asia, alone, can
show things too horrible to describe
Can any pen describe the fate of the tens
of thousands of white American girls dragged
into White Slavery each year. and held for
the brutal appetite of the vilest men?
Can anybody describe, with bare truth, the
conditions under which the sexes live and la
Dor in the packed tenements?
There isn't a town, or city in all this
broad land where things don't 90 Oh which
cannot be described
49, Lastly, Willard Price says-'I saw
life in its lowest terms''
He may think he did; but nowhere on this
globe is it possible for life to be lower than
it is, in the darkest spots of Europe and
America.
In London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Copen-
hagen, Stockholm Brussels, Washington, Nor
folk, New Orleans, and scores of other
Christian cities Willard Price may see in full
prurlency every unnatural vice of the Orient.
Our Exposition managers sent committees
to the most depraved cities of the East
to Constantinople, to Cairo, to Tangiers,
to Smyrna, to Beirut, to Alexandria
and those Vice-hunters employed the
very lowest types of the Orientals, male and
female, and those lepers were imported into
this country, set up at the Expositions and at
State Fairs, and advertised, so that every

The American who "saw in ASIA is Will
lard Price, lunatic-a large.
Willard Price says he "saw in Asia the
following sights, none Of arhicb he eUer S0lU
IN Ame93cd, it would seem:
G.) Villages where modern sanitation IS
neglected.
Why, dog-gone it all my town of Thorn
sonastonbillekins is in that fix, rig GILT now, and
typhoid fever is the consequence.
co. Glittering cities, in which there is
suffering and filth and want, indescribable.
Isn't New York a glittering city, and
doesn't it weller in suffering and filth and
want!
Why go to Asia to find poverty and filth,
when thousand American cities are full of
them?
(3) Willard Price says, II saw rotting
bodies, empty minds, naked souls
Did you, Willard?
And where are your eyes, that you couldn't
have seen them in America, before you went
to Asia?
We've got them yet, Willard, and you can
see them whenever you unlock your eyes off
of China.
a. Says Willard-'I saw disease stalk
ing up alleys wading ankle-deep through
garbage to enter the doors of the people,"
Same here, Willard!
You can see it in the slums and tenement
districts of Philadelphia Boston, Chicago, St.
Louis Baltimore, Atlanta, Nashville, Jack
sonville, or any other city.
You needn't have gone to Asia, Willard, it
that was all you went for.
(5.) Brother Price continues-'I saw III
one land the stains Of parental vice on the
skin Of two out of five of the children"
Which land?
q IL.
and if Willard Price saw two out of every
five children, he certainly is swift sight-seer.
Did he think of the number of american
children who are blind, or scrofulous, or other
wise defective, on account of ''paternal vice."
If not, he can learn something by having
talk with an intelligent doctor.
co. Willard says, Il saw pallid factory
girls of twelve and even ten years of age, who
worked thirteen hours a day, seven days a
week, :. at third of a cent an hour"
He mentions one mill where he saw this:
of course all the others may be run on the
same pattern.
Thirteen hours, at 1-3 cent an hour amounts
to 4 1-3 cents day.
Who denied 1t, bitterly, when [ stated that
the cost of living was low in Asia?
Who printed BOOKLETS to prove that | was
a liar, and that it cost more to live in Asia
than in this country?
Bless my eyes! didn't Sister Emma Lester
publish letter, in this meNiSsioma1y Voice,
saying that the missionaries worked Chinese
women in the sewing business, at $1.65 a
month?
If these Chinese women worked for the mis-
sionaries six days in the week, the wage per
day was less than cents!
How about it, Brethren?
I am getting not only shocked, but scandal
lied.

incites its youth to go IN unto these o5omina-

Does Mr. Willard Price know any heather
land that imports strange vices?
Does Mr.. Willard Price know of Buddhist
government, or Confucianist government. or /
Mohammedan government that ever appr0~
prlated public money to finance such corrupt
ing denominations as have been advertised and
patronized at our Chicago, ST. Louis James
town. and San Francisco Exposition?
This poor luatic, Willard Price concludes
his silly article thus:
I saw, upon returning to America a rich and
happy nation, eager and generous to fault, but
unthnking storming the movie theatre swallow
ing lump in their threats for pity Of the ragged
child in the play-while Asia waits.
Who is it, in America, that's erich and
happy"
The laws of the land have ENABLED the
Rockefeller Brothers to rob the American
producers of more riches than the States Of
Georgia. Alabama. Florida and Mississippi
possess; but in proportion that the two Rookie
fellers have more than they need is the num-
Der of men who have less than they need.
National wealth is the national living fund:
II gets too much, another will get not
enough.
When one Corporation, chartered to rob,
can cash iii greater profits every months,
than eighteen million agricultural laborers
can earn during whole year, how does any
sane man imagine that the nation is rich and
happy?
The Steel Trust is rich. and it may be
happy; but God help the millions that it robs!
|'While A STA waits -
Asia waits, does she?
What is Asia waiting for?
The Gospel has been preached at Asia for
more than a hundred years; therefore, she
isn't waiting for that.
She must be waiting for more American
dollars
Let Asia be patient: the dollars will get
there-at least, some of them will.
The Brethren Of the Board will stop few,
for their modest little salaries and perqu-
sites; few more will have to be stopped. to
pay up the printing bills; few more will be
lifted out, to pay interest at the bank; and
then when the dilapidated balance reaches
Asia, she must wait until the missionary sub
tracts his little $500 and his wife's little ditto,
and the separate little ditto for each of the
children; and then. of course, he must deduct
the hOuse-rent and the travelling expenses,
and the nice sums paid to the teachers. the
nurses, the doctors, the surgeons, the dentists,
the experts the demonstrators, and the manly
instructors in the gymnasium; and then,
again, the missionary must take out enough
to replenish the stock of drugs, the hospital
supplies, the schoo-room furnishings, etc.
All this goes on while Asia waits
Well, what if Asia does wait?
