faithful servant, Pedro, saddle to
Manuel, son of Pancho Leon, while
Horizons favorite horse is devised to
Captain Robert Rutledge of the Tex
as Rangers.
The will declares that Liberty must
live one year at the home of Major
Winston, in New Mexico, and the
next year with Jose Icons family,
at the Horton estate in Mexico. Lib
erty spends a year at the Winston
home, and then goes to her late
fathers estate in Mexico, being es-
corted there by Major Winston and
Captain Rutledge. They are made
welcome by Pancho Leon and his
son, Manuel, and by Pancho Lopez,
majordomo of the ranch.
A fiesta is held in honor of Liber-
tvs arrival, with feats of horse
manship. Theresa, a Mexican girl,
in love with Manuel Leon, becomes
maid to Liberty. During the fiesta
there are many thrilling vaquero
stunts performed by the Mexican
riders and the Texas Rangers, the
latter having come with Liberty from
the United States.
Captain Rutledge is in love with
Liberty, and Manuel becomes Kut-
ledge's rival for Liberty's hand, de-
spite his amour with the jealous
Theresa.
A grand ball concludes the fiesta,
and here Pancho Lopez secretly plots
against his employers by conspiring
with evil Mexicans to abduct Liberty
to the mountains and hold her there
for ransom, the prospective money
to be used to finance a revolution
against the Mexican government. The
plan succeeds and Lopez and his
vaqueros seize Liberty late at night
and carry her away to a hiding
place, where she is held captive.
Liberty" will be shown at the
Amazon each Monday evening, the
/ first episode to be shown Monday,
April 9. Regular Prices, 10 and Is
cents.

Boise, Idaho, March "a, lotto
the People of Idaho:-Years ago
while struggling to make a living,
under adverse conditions, on the i'll
fated King Hill irrigation project, l
conceived the idea of state depart
ment to help farmers in their market
ing and other commercial problems.
Later, moved to Boise and started
a farm paper with estate aid in mar
keting" as the principal slogan of the
publication. After two years editor
ial effort, sufficient public sentiment
was developed to force the bill for a
state department of farm markets
through the legislature.
Then farmers organizations
throughout the state insisted that the
governor remove the office from par
tisan politics by appointing the au-
thor of the law as organizer of the
department-my activities in the
farm organizations having shown me
to be affiliated with neither of the
old parties.
Resignation in Advance.
Reluctantly, but as a matter of
political expediency, the governor
complied with these petitions and

May Start Work This Week

According to Iumor which was cir
culated last Saturday the Great
Northern will begin work some time
this week on the two new sidetracks
for the local yards. The steam shovel
is expected here the middle of this
week. The rails were shipped some
time ago together with all other
equipment needed. The original plans
called for the construction of about
a mile of track.

MODERN WARFARE.

The United States is actually en-
gagged in war. Somehow we find 1t
hard to grasp the fact and face it, not
withstanding the many evidences on
all sides. Some of the regulars are al
ready on the firing line in France and
Uncle Sans battleships are helping
the allies in the strenuous Job of po-
Icing the high seas.
1t has been nineteen years since
Uncle Sam tangled with Spain and
lifted the burden of cruelty and op-
preston from Cuba and the Philip
pines, and more than fifty years since
the North and the South resorted to
arms to settle certain disputes and
Misunderstanding. Meantime meth
DDS of carrying on the horrid trade Of
war have changed entirely. Doubt
less 1t is proper to say progressed" in
this connection, because the destruc-
ton of life and property has become a
| thousand times more deadly.
Only meager proportion of Uncle
Sans 100,000000 citizens will actually
get within sight and sound of the
dreadful tragedy being enacted across
the Atlantic. The rest will have to
acquire knowledge and information
through the medium Of the printed
page, the camera and demonstrations
in the line of open-air pageants.
| OF the latter the spectacular produc-
ton entitled, Modern Warfare" to be
staged at the coming state fair, takes
precedence over all other means of en-
lightenment for showing actual meth
dds of warfare. Blowing up forts, bonn
harding cities, battles between power
full air machines will be shown. Also
trench fighting and the up-to-date wal
enginery in the way of siege guns
tanks, etc.
The troops engaged in this mimic
warfare will be correctly costumed to
represent the different nations, and il
will all be very thrilling, very realistic
and give the onlooker much clearer
idea Of how war is actually conducted
than volumes Of printed matter could
do. This spectacle will be presented
every night during the fair, staged in
the centerfeld in front of the amphi
theatre.

of farmers already are too low ana
that they must not be reduced further
in order to obtain greater yields OF
staple crops. Fortunately this Is not
necessary. Hog raising can be ex-
tended in many sections Of the country
where IL is now of little Importance
and the total supply Of human food
increased accordingly.
At the present time large part OF
our pork comes from the few states
in the corn belt. where II is the COLI
mon belief that hog raisers possess
advantages that farmers in other sec
tions lack. This. however, Is not al
together true. The South. the East

reason why the industry should not
be developed extensively in those re-
giOns.
