ton of extremely fine fruit-made
small, the superintendent Mr. Fitz-
gerald, advised, by the extreme late
ness of the season-but of a quality to
make any locality proud. Those beets,
also, just beat the world Mangels,
garden and sugar-plenty of them so
large that about fifty would more
than make a wagon load.
The Twin Falls TIMES occupied a
corner in Horticultural hall for the
purpose of meeting old friends and
making new ones. Some three hun
dred copies of the Tuesday night is
sue were handed out; and that mum
Der would have been more than dou-
bled had not nearly two men out of
every three confessed to already being
subscribers. All were interested in
the fact that the TIMES now receives
the news of the world over a leased
wire operated right in it's office. and
is thus able to publish the latest news
up to the moment of going to press.
Another feature begun with this issue
will be the potato market, published
each Tuesday and Thursday, direct
from government headquarters.
In the Woman's building the exhibit
made up in quality what it lacked in
quantity. The Red Cross section was

numbering about fifty, constitute one
entire outfit for a wounded soldier in
the hospital. This exhibit was sent
out by the Twin Falls Chapter in
charge of the Filler Auxiliary
The best collection of fruits, jellies
and meat sauces was the work of Mrs.
NJ. j. McCaw of Filler and was award
ed first prize. The exhibit of Mrs.
Decker of Kimberly is worthy of spec
ial mention. 1t consisted of fourteen
varieties of pickles and meat sauces.
On account of it's excellence Miss
Decker was awarded the blue ribbon
and requested to send the entire ex-
hibit to the State Fair at Boise next
week
In the fancy work department the
most noticeable collection belonged
to Mrs. Higgins of Twin Falls. A
sampler worked in 1895 and some an
tique embrOideries were awarded blue
ribbons
Mrs. Nicholson of Filler was given Il
first premium for hand painted china
The special exhibit of cut flowers
by Byrd Walter of Twin Falls was re-
mdlkdDly line. Each year Mr.. waiter
takes his choicest specimens to the
Fair and furnishes all flowers for dec
orations in the Woman's building, al
though there is no prize offered.
The showing made in the Children's
department, under the direction of
County superintendent Miss Wolfe,
was splendid considering the very
short time given for preparation. OF
particular interest and uniqueness
was the department called Language
Interpretation" Each child in the
Second b grade of Filler was told to
model out of clay what he expected to
see at the Fair. The best specimens
were an elephant with a howdah, the
work of Earl Wilson, a horse and cart
by Earl Wilson and Raymond Griffith,
and platter of grapes by Effie Tel
ford.
A very large crowd assembled for

Americans Receive
the Croix de Guerre
General and Major At Front Take
Part In Struggle On The Verdun
Line.
BY Newton c. Parke,
N { Staff


FIELD HEADQUARTERS AT THE
AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Sep
TENDER 20-Brigadier General George
Duncan and Major Campbell King of
the American army, have been award
ed the Croix De Guerre- They are
the first American officers to be so
honored. Both of the officers viewed
the last French offensive at Verdun-
Instead of remaining in the rear
both of the American officers took
up their station in an advance Obser-
walton post where they we're under
heavy shell fire. A shell fragment
struck the helmet worn by Brigadier
General Duncan, but he was not hurt.
The American is keeping the head
piece as a momento of the occasion.
French officers, who witnessed the
gallant conduct of the American tele-
phoned the circumstances and both
we're mentioned in divisional head
quarters dispatches for assisting our
forces under extreme danger during a
very violent bOmbardment."
General Duncan wrote to General
Pershing asking if he would be per
mitted to wear the medal, offering to
send it to the state department if for
hidden. The medals are of silver.

40 urging the people to get behind
the president and win the war.
Rake Off" not American Victory
has been its battle cry. A few weeks
ago it chided Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, because he said that
he would not urge a change in the
present tariff policy at this time, as
a discussion would interfere with the
prosecution of the war. To this
organ of special privilege that was
a minor consideration.
The Economist was the defender of
the sort of patriots whose "pernic-
ious activities" were exposed by
President Wilson early in his admin
istration. No man who has been in
the presidential chair during the past
generation has been extreme enough
to suit it, Roosevelts hazy references
to possible tariff revision threw it in
to spasms 1t was in Mysteries over
President Taft's suggestion, since
adopted by the Democratic party, that
tariff commission be appointed to
ascertain the facts The Economist
did not want the facts 1t wanted its
owners to name their 'pizen," to
say when" and have a congress do
the bidding of those asking for pro-
lection instead of proceeding after
investigation.
OF course, the imputation is false
Whoever feels that he cannot defend
his position without falsehood, feels
that his position is wrong. That is
what the Economist does and that is
why it resorts to untruthful state
ments.

JUST ANOTHER wHOPPER

THE President would rather lose
the war than recommend or consent
to a restoration of Protective Tariff
duties!" This was the recent remark
OF a prominent member of the con-
gress of the United States over and
over again the long-headed, prudent
Protectionists of the senate and the
house have pleaded in committees for
such an increase in the Tariff as
would double or treble the present
meagre income of S240 100000 year
from duties on $3,000,0QO.OOO of inn
ports. Many Democrats have declar-
ed that they would like to see this
brought about. But they dare not
run counter TO the decree of the
White House that the Tariff shall on
no account be increased. Hands OFF,
is the order Apparently nothing
now can change that ultimatum. II
can, however, be changed by the cleo
tfon of a Protectionist Senate and
House in 1918, and by the incoming OF
a ProtectiOnist congress and admin
istration as the result of the election
of 192O.-American Economist.
OF course, President Wilson occu-
pies no such stand. He opposes the

protective system that has been re-
pudiated by everybody except a few
beneficiaries and their organ, the
Economist, but he would adopt ever
that temporarily to win the war, il
necessary. If the nameless "promi
nent" member of congress said whar
the Economist declares that he did he
simply lied. We doubt If any con
gresham said it. prone as some con
gressmen are to make careless state
ments.
Fortunately, it is neither necessar,
nor expedient to return to the dis
carded system. No other method o
raising revenue that could be devised
would fall so heavily on the con
sumner and hamper the normal growth
of industry as that advocated by thu
Economist.

Swiss Unable to
Stop Smuggling
Men Slipping Food Over The German
Border Are Making A Fortune Al
The Business.
Unconditional News Servicel

ilulGIudllODdl NEWS OGIflCGJ
ZURICH, Sept 19-The smuggling
Germany and to a smaller extent
also to France and Italy, is fast be-
coming a national menace, but, de-
spite all protests of the press and
the public, the Government seems I'M
able or unwilling to stop this con-
tinuous draining of the SWISS re-
sources. Only a few arrests are made
every week by the frontier guards,
with small fines, which they can cas-
lily pay, because their profits are
enormous. Dozens of small boats
carry tons of food across the Rhine
and the Lake of Constance almost
every night, and the authorities know
it.
at is an open secret that some of
the smugglers' organizations make
from five to ten thousand dollars a
month from their nefariOus business -
says the Neue Zuericher Zeitung-
Small tradesmen who a short while
ago had nothing but debts have be-
come wealthy, because their con-
science is elastic enough to permit
them TO rob their own cOuntrymen
and to endanger the safety of the
republic Most of the smugglers try
to excuse their criminal activities
with the claim that small merchants
cannot get export permits, while
large corporations are allowed to
make millions by selling food prod
ucts and other necessities 10 Ger
many and other belligerents. That
may be true to a certain extent, but
does not alter the fact that smuggl-
ing under the present circumstances
is a crime that should be punishec
with long terms of imprisonment"

GOOD FARM BUREAU MOVE

The TIMES trusts that every stock
holder within reasonable distance OF
Twin Falls whether such stockholder
has previously attended meetings in
the school houses or not, will be pres
ent Saturday afternoon and that those
of the West End will all get out to
the Bull meeting Saturday night.
There has been much agitation on this
question going on for months. Many
charges of inefficiency have been
made. Whether these general charges
can or cannot be sustained by the evil
dence, The TIMES is unable to say;
but now that the matter has been pre-
scented to people from at least one
point of view, it is fitting that they
should all get together in one place
and consider not only the defects
which they may have discovered to
exist, but agree on some plan to pre-
vent the continuance of such defects,
provided defects are definitely located.
The stockholders of the company are
the real owners of the system. So far
as they are able they should canvass
the matter together here and at Bull,
in order that between this time and
October 9. each individual stakeholder
may form an intelligent opinion, which
will lead to the casting of an intelli-
gent vote at the meeting. The more
men who have. on investigation, sat
isfied themselves regarding condi-
tions. and come personally to take
part in the meeting, the more repre-
sentative will that meeting be. There
has been much just complaint in the
past that many who could have at
tended the meetings and voted failed
to attend.
The TIMES, therefore. congratu
Iates the farm bureau leaders in call
ing the people together as they have
done in order that they may get fur
Their insight into the actual condi-
tons The discussion of this ques-
ton must necessarily have already
had the effect of arousing the great
est interest in its issues, and the
bureau officers are to be further con-
graduated in making every effort to
see to it that those unavoidably un-
able to be present in person should be
represented by proxy.
An interesting educational meeting
is to be anticipated October 9. and
the more people that attend the meet
ings here and at Bull Saturday. the
more they will understand one an
other when the time comes to act
tremendously a few weeks hence.
