This Makes the Curl
Stay in Your Hair

The silmerine method of curling the
hair is unusually popular just now ac-
cording to the druggists. This is large
~ due to the warm weather and be-
cause women are now spending so
much OF their time out or doors. LID
uid silmerine not only produces the
loveliest, natural looking curls and
waves. but it keeps the hair in curl no
matter how hot or how moist the day.
or how hard the wind blows.
It is simply wonderful. how this
harmless liquid converts the straight
est, lankest hair into such pretty curly
locks in a single night. All one need
do Is to wet a clean tooth brush with
liquid silmerine at bedtime, draw this
through the hair. and in the morning
she finds her hair has dried in just
the sweetest waves and crinkles. A
few ounces will keep the hair curly for
many weeks. II will also keep 1t
beautifully soft. silky and lnstrous.-

TAX CASE BEFORE COURTS
North side Land & Water Co. Will
Resist foreclosures OF County
Tax Liens.

A case, the elimination of which
will be watched with much interest
by the taxpayers of this and Good
ing counties, was heard before
Judge Ensign at Gooding last
week. The case was that of c. L.
Miller, Auditor, VS.. Adolph Ehinger,
in which 1t was sought by the
county to foreclose a lien on land of
the defendant for delinquent taxes.
There are many of like cases in
Gooding County as well as in Lin
coin County, and in fact in every
county in The state, as the law has
defined this method of gaining pos
session of property delinquent for
taxes
The North Side Land & Water Co.
interceeds in this case and resists
foreclosure proceedings on the
ground that its water right is a first
and prior lien on the land. 1t bases
its claim on the fact that the Carey
lands come within the jurisdiction
of the Federal government and that
the laws governing these lands can
not be changed or modified by the
states. A stipulation of facts was
filed in the case and the same was
argued by Judge Walters on the
part of the company and County At
torney James for the county. Both
sides were given permission to file
briefs in the case, which will be done
later, when Judge Ensign will take
the same under advisement.
This case is to be made q test one
on the part of the company and
county, and ii is the desire of both
litigants to have the same reach the
supreme court as soon as possible
AS yet there has been no decision
by the latter court upon cases OF
this nature, and should a final de-
cision be rendered in favor of the
company t will mean the loss OF
many thousands of dollars to the
county in delinquent taxes.
A case somewhat similar affect
ing lands on the Salmon River segre-
cation was recently tried before
Judge Boutwell,, in which the judge
held that The water right was a pri.
or lien on the land. but this decis.
ion, however. will not affect the
case in hand as the questions al
stake may be of a different nature.

$500 Per Year
To Become a National Bank.

Application was made some time
ago TO the comptroller Of the curren-
cy by the Farmers & Merchants
bank of this place to be chartered as
national bank. The matter has
been under advisement and investi-
cation by the comptroller for some
time and last week the announce
ment was made that the application
had been approved.
1t will be some little time, how
ever, before the actual change will
be made, as there are many details
TO be worked out, which is being
done as fast as possible. Cashier
Zug informs US that the capital
stock of the bank will be increased
to $4,000. with a surplus fund of
$4,000. and that probably new
capital will become interested In
the bank.
The Farmers & Merchants Bank
has always enjoyed the confidence
OF the people of this section and has
always been considered as one of
the sound financial institutions of
this section of the state, and this is
further evidenced by the step taken
TO become a national bank. Ono
object in becoming a national bank
is TO become allied with the federal
reserve banks, and we note a recent
suggestion Dy the Ctate bank exam
iner of Idaho, that all state banks
become national ones. When the
change is made the bank here will
be known as the Jerome NatIona |
Bank.

ELECTKlFYING RAILROADS.

The c. NJ. & St. P. Railroad has
steam locomotive is. BY the elec-
trifcation of it's line over a part OF
the Rocky Mountain system the ad-
vantages of electrical power are
made plain. 1t is predicted that all
the western railroads will follow by
electrifyins their grades, and 1t
would seem that in time the whole
American system of railroads will
see the change. Cheapness of coal
has prevented it heretofore.
The electric locomotive will haul
over a mountain grade 80 per cent
more trainlcad at a cost of about 40
per cent less than a steam locomo-
tive will do the work. The speed is
16 miles an hour instead of the nine
miles performed by the steam loco
motive. Thus the capacity of sin
gle train is doubled.
Trains are able to keep closer to
schedule. The cold weather pre-
vents steam locomotive from Sc
curing its steam capacity. Electric
locomotives plow through snow
drifts which would stop a steam en-
gine.
In the mountains the electric
power is obtained from water pow.
er. In other territories central sta
tions for the generation of electric
ity would be necessary. But it is
cheaper and more effective to draw
coal to one central power plant than
it is to have steam power plant at
tached to every train, which is the
present method throughout the
country.
The cost OF electrifcation stands
in the way of a change from steam
to electricity, but that this is COM
ing appears quite certain.-Utica

HOLD YOUR HAY.
This is the Advice or the Director oi
the Farm Markets Bureau.

Director Alfred of the Farm Mar
kets Bureau, according to the Boise
papers, has Just returned from a
tour OF investigation into the hay
crop of the staete and frankly
states that alfalfa hay may reach a
price of $500 per ton this fall. In
his opinion no farmer should sell
or contract his hay for less than
$500 per ton, and while the price
may go beyond that he is leaving 1t
to the judgment of the farmer to
determine the prices he will hold
for.
The farm markets bureau is re-
ceiving inquiries from Minnesota
and other middle western states rel
ative to the hay situation in Idaho.
The middle west is facing a hay
shortage, as in Oregon, Alfred says.
In his statement TO the Boise press
the director says:
The hay crop in Idaho and the
United Sta1es is short for 1917 and q
majority OF growers in this state will
hold for better prices than are now
being paid-from s12 to SIS per
ton and l am confident they will get
them. Few of the growers will be
caught selling short this year as they
were last with the result there was
for a long time during the late win
ter and spring months a famine
among stock. Idahoans propose to
keep enough hay on hand to feed
their own stock.
The 1916 hay crop in the United
States amounted to 109, 5000
tons. The government estimates of
the crop for 1917 is but 1O3, 3,00O,-
600 tons. In other words the crop
this year is 100000 tons short. In
dications that hay is short in other
states is evident from inquiries that
have been received at the farm mar
kets bureau. Buyers in both Mon
tana and Minnesota have written to
secure Idaho alfalfa hay. Other
states also report a shortage.
Growers in Idaho this year find
that it is costing them more to
place the hay in the stack than ever
before. In the first place labor is
short and high. The experienced
hay hands Of last season are not to
be found this year. With inexperi-
enced help and high prices growers
realize that their hay is costing them
more to put up now than ever be-
fore. They, therefore. believe thy
are entitled TO better prices. In
proportion hay has not gone up
whether of the farm or otherwise"

session of activities of German n
agents.-Twin Falls Times.

BUSINESS VS.. POLITICS.

1t is still an open question wheth-
er the American people care more
about politics than they do about
business and industries.
Partisan politics appeals to mnny
people and a few make money out
of it, but. the multitude must depend
on payrolls and business under any
administration.
Whether one man is elected to an
Office or another is not of as much
consequence to the average citizen
as the founding of new industry
or building 4 new railroad.
Radical advocates of collective
ism or individualism are willing to
sacrifice all else to carry their par
ticular theory into effect, but pros
perity depends on use of both sys-
tens.
Public ownership and private cap
ital are not antagonistic only when
used to destroy each other, and then
the loss falls On the whole commun-
ity and hiniers progress.
The one-idea theorist on any line
believes his nostrum viii cure all the
troubles of city, state or nation, but
he is not safe person to follow In
any direction.
Industry. payrolls, investments,
improvements still mean a chance
for the average man to succeed In
life. while political activity enriches
few and ta5 es everybody.

with the hope that it may come to
the notice of those who are looking
for this class of work, and that they
will proceed at once to the wyoming
coal fields.
There IS no longer any question
of car shortage. so that if the Wyo-
ming coal mines could be furnished
with sufficient labor, it would be-
come a mighty factor in relieving
what l believe to pe a serions con-
dition for Idaho.
Too much credit cannot be given
Mr.. Joseph Hansen, Secretary of
the Council, for his efficient work
while in Salt Lake. Through ar
rangements made there by your
committee the increased tonnage
into Idaho was very gratifying
showing an increase up to the time
of the washout, of nearly three hun
dred per cent over the same period
in 1916.
Mr. Hansen is now familiar with
the work N Utah, and it will be a
serious mistake If he is not relieved
from other duties and stationed al
Salt Lake. 1t must be borne in
mind that other states have their
agents on the ground who are urg.
ing shipments into their respective
states.
