CARRANzA ON WORLD PEACE.

Our friend Carranza, president pro
TEN of. certain parts of Mexico, has
front page notice again. This gentle
man, it seems, has hit upon a plan to
stop the war in Europe. In notes to
the neutral nations he offers it to the
world for what it is worth.
Some people may doubt the claims
he makes for his proposal, but no one
will attempt to belittle the earnest
ness with which it is advanced. And
no one doubts but that Carranza takes
himself very seriously.
The big idea donated to humanity
seems to be the shutting off of sup
plies of munitions, food and clothing
from the nations participating in the
European scrap.
Carranza is always wonderfully
consistent, according to the Mexican

Interpretation of that word. 1t will
be recalled that on several previous
occasions he has mentioned how ex-
peditiously he would be able to deal
with the foes of Mexico" if the Uni
ted States and other neutrals would
put a ban on certain articles much
needed by his enemies. OF course
Carranza has always been a good Gus
toner of the world at large in the mat
ter of furnishings for his so-called
army, but that seems to be an entire
ly different matter.
Germany in particular, before the
European conflagration, enjoyed
quite friendly business relations with
Carranza, after he had somewhat
strained his credit with American
merchants.
In addition to this reason for
friendship, Carranza has other causes
to be grateful to Germany. It is gen
orally conceded that if England's at
tention was not otherwise engaged
at the present time, she would very
probably have something to say about
internal affairs in Mexico; and that
speedy determination of the European
affray, unfavorable to Carranza's
friends, would necessitate some en-
barrassing explanations from one
Carranza.
In view of a few things like these.
and further because Germany is not
noticeably awaiting itself of its op-
portunity to trade with neutral ma
tons, Carranza's frame of mind can
be readily understood, even by those
not versed in Mexican mental intrica-
cies.
And with the renewal of raiding and
murder on our southern border, and
his alleged congratulatory message to
the Kaizer-which, we doubt not.

Carranza can thank his lucky stars

Mexico-wards.

to display it's ability, and have
chance at the championship. Follow
ing this plan, each school will be
required to send III a record of games
played, giving place, opponent and the
score of the game. If all the towns
mentioned above enter, division can
be made of the comparatively stron
ger teams and those of lesser strength.
Each team of the former will then
be paired off with one of the latter,

of the first round will form Glass B.
and continue in competition for the
championship of Glass B. This plan
will provide two games for each team
entering the tourney as a minimum.

teams in each will play a maximum
of four games. The preliminary hal

BASKET TOSSERS
PLAN TOURNAMENT
Effort Being Made to Have Fourteen
Towns Represented in Two Day
Meet-Play Nineteen Games i'm Ali.

r. P. Nafziger, the coach of the To-
cal high school basketball team has
laid plans for holding a basket ball
tournament in this town on Friday and
Saturday March 1916. Fourteen
towns, including Twin Falls, have
been asked to take part in this ac-
uvity. Mr.. Nafziger has arranged the
schedule by figures, and if all the in
vited towns participate, nineteen
games will be played, and not less
than one game and not more than
four for any one team, within the des-
ignated two days. To best explain the
system Mr.. Nafziger is quoted:
IAN effort is being made to interest
the high schools of this section of
southern Idaho in basketball tourna-
ment to be held in the gymnasium
of the Twin Falls High school Friday
and Saturday, March 1917. Letters
have been sent to the high schools of
Gooding, Jerome. Wendell, Shoshone.
Bull, Filler, Kimberly, Hollister. Han
sen, Burley, Hepburn, Rupert and
Oakley, inviting then to participate
in this tournament A number of these
schools have already expressed them
selves in favor of such a tournament.
The plan for conducting this tourna-
ment will be similar to that used in
the large tournaments of the Missouri
Valley states, where as many as eighty
teams compete in the one tourney. and
an arbitrary division of teams is made
in classes A. B. c., depending on the
record made in games lost and won
during the season. A plan can be
adopted for this tournament which
will offer each team the opportunity

The best editorial thought in the
country is now criticising the new
Federal Farm Loan Act as being
class, or special, legislation and pre-
dieting that it will find itself without
the pale of constitutional require
ment It is. at all events, an exceed
ingly complex and ambiguously word
ed method of loaning the money of the
government to ndividuals-provided
they are farmers; and the question
at once arises, if to farmers, why not
to other classes of honest laboring
men? Indeed, the American Fedora
tion of Labor has already sensed the
invitation to United States Treasury
pie; and at its Baltimore convention,
last November, resolved that,
"Inasmuch as the government has
already established a rural credits
system for the benefit of the farmer
we believe it is an easy matter
for the government to take such steps
TO relieve the working people in in
dustrial centers of the unsanitary
homes that are unfit for habitation. !"

There are no honorary members in

with the population, the society is the
largest in the country
The young ladies of the town are
responsible for the unusually large
membership. They worked with un-

the arms of the men when they
stepped out of the registration places
Headquarters are to be opened at

IN excess of 100000 to the Western

The property consists of seven thou

Gated in this state and Kansas, with
4 daily production of five hundred
barrels of oil and eighteen million
pany owned the oil leases. while the
gas was the property of the Petrol

the property is i'm Oklahoma.
