FORMER RESIDENT HERE

John r. Foulks, former resident
|of Aberdeen, and once the largest
land owner In the county, passed
thru Blackfoot recently on his way
to Idaho Falls, where he had en-
gagements for a short time. Mr..
Foulks said that he lost his good
wife few months ago, and now his
daughter Edna has married and it
leaves him quite alone in the world.
He still has his home at Salt Lake
and is interested in some lands in
Nevada. He had quite serious
breakdown in health a few years
ago, but has mended from that and
is looking well.

If they could get it. 1t is almost i'm
possible to get labor in the country at

have demoralized it. They want pal
ace prices for small work.
Wheat and oat planting is going on.
Some have planted more and others
less. than last year. 1t is reported
that number Of people will plant
all cotton next year and get money
while cotton is high, running the risk
about the future prices.
number OF papers are continually
speaking about so much money in the
country What money went to pay
for two and three prices for provis-
ions and other things. The crop is
short shorter than is now known. If
people have so much money there will
be no need to borrow any next year.
But watch the banks and see if people
borrow any.
Before asking the people to econ
omize so much for the benefit OF the
world, the government should set a
worthy example in economy. If re-
ports are correct the soldier camps
are perfect spots of extravaganza
and waste. No one wishes to deprive
the soldier boys of anything for their
comfort and maintenance. but econ
omy should be practiced in the camps
as we'll as in the country, especially
when we have the world to feed. The
Lessons of Washington and Marion
should be we'll taught and practiced
