Our Predictions Maturing.
When the Non-partisans and the
farmers complain about this matter
they score one more point in the
line of our prediction Of October.
1917, when we said that most of
the farmers will not carry out their
own measures after they are enacted
into the law. AS proof we cited the
fact that the legislature In 1917 en-

and the amount of acreage of each
kind of crop growing. The plan was
"a fiat failure because when the as
sistants sent out the blanks of in

Der of acres of each crop, they neg
lected and refused to furnish the in
formation which their own depart
ment of government asked and re-
quired Of them; requirement which
they themselves thru their represen-
tatives had demanded.
This paper has frequently express
sed doubts about the Non-partisan
league furnishing relief for the
farmers in the many things talked
about, things that are as much their
own fault as the fault of anybody
else. This matter of potato sorting
and crop reports are two of the most
striking examples that have come to
our attention.

NON-PARTISANS SCORE
ONCE AGAIN

The very rigid rules for gradins
potatoes this fall are the occasion Of
some very severe criticism from DO
tato growers and especially from
members of the NOn-partisan league
who take occasion to abuse every
thing in general because Of the al
legged unreasonable grading and the
hardship it imposes.
Some of the men who complain
about it blame the government, who
ever that is, some blame B. Harvey
Alfred, superintendent of the farm
markets department Of the. state gov.
eminent, some blame the merchants
some blame the capitalistic class
and same blame the town peo-
pie in general
Everybody admits that they can
not sell defective potatoes, split po-
tatoes, frozen potatoes, potatoes that
are Clipped or SCARED and some say
they cannot sell potatoes that are
crooked or that have those little
bulbs on that indicate second growth.
Farmers who have sorted their po-
'tatoes very carefully and have
thrown out everything that was con-
sidered defective heretofore have had
their potatoes refused until they
were sorted again to conform to the
new rules. Many men declare they
will no longer raise potatoes. Some
pretty good men and some pretty
good potato growers are swearing off.
The writer had heard a good many
Non-partisans talking very decidedly
about the matter and give it as evil
dence that there is something wrong
and that the farmer is getting the
worst of it.
We desire to remind the farmers
that the farm markets bureau is re-
sponsible for this new kind of potato
grading; that the man who organ
lied and first operated the farm mar

ter treatment Of prisoners Of war and
for the helpless non-c0mbatants. The
archbishop made his appeal In the
name Of christianity and professor
Deissman received the appeal, but
made no reply.
At this time the fortunes of war
have been reversed and Germany has
signed the armistice with terms
sufficiently severe to cause the Ger
man delegates to sob and shed much
tears while they were signing 1t.
Whether these sobs and tears were
grand-stand play or whether they
really wrung the German hearts does
not matter. 1t was the intention of
the allies to make the terms of the
'armistice severe. The conditions de-
manded it.
Now professor Deissman has ap-
pealed to the archbishop of Canter-
burg asking him to influence our al
lies to modify some of the harsh
terms of the armistice. Professor
Deissman remained silent thru four
years of atrocities committed by Ger
man soldiers and now he makes his
appeal to the archbishop in the name
of christianity aud urges the beaut-
les and blessings of exercising the
Christian spirit and mutual forgive
ness.
We are sorry our information at
present does not enable us to pub
lish the terms of the archbishop's re-
ply.

WARNS EDUCATORS
TO CHANGE VIEWS

NEW YORK.-Warning to bust
ness men and educators they must
cooperate to bring business and the
schools into closer relationship, was
sounded here Friday by E. st. Elmo
Lewis of the federal department OF
commerce before the national con-
ference on junior employment.
There was lack of relationship
between the school and the job, Mr..
Lewis declared, which had resulted
in damaging degree, in failure to
prepare boys and girls to earn their
living. The schools, he said, must
lay less emphasis on the cultural
side of education and more on the
essentials, getting the idea of the
pay envelope into education"
Notice to Business Men.
On the other hand, he asserted,
the business man must abadon an
attitude toward junior employment
which fails to take into consideration
the school and it's records of student
accomp- -shment.
Sherwin Cody, managing director
of the National Associated Schools
of Scientific Business, urging general
adoption of employment efficiency
tests for pupils, declared that bust
ness should MAKE good job depen-
dent upon good record in school.
The key to the situation, Mr.. Cody
stated, was in the hands of the en-
ployment managers of the great ma
tional corporations. If they would
cooperate, he said, the result would
be a higher standard in the funda-
of education, now a dis
grace to the country

COMMISSIONERS
BOUGHT ROAD MACHINES

The commissioners of Bingham
county have purchased two Hall mo-
tor trucks and two dump wagons to
be operated as trailers. The trucks
Carry four yards of earth or gravel
and the trailers three pards each, so
that the two outfits are capable of
carrying about fourteen tons at a
trip. 4
We understand it to be the inten-
lions of the commissioners to begin
road construction using the Goshen
gravel and using these outfits for
transporting it to the roadbed We
are informed that the first piece of
road. they are likely to make is from
Goshen west to the state highway.
The tow trucks are to cost $1O,296
and the two trailers $1045 at the
factory ands the freight on the COM
plete outfit is to be 100000. The
trailers have arrived and the trucks
are ON the road.

WHAT WE FEED OUR SOLDIERS

Soldiers are fed and clothed b,
the government. Officers buy theil
own clothing and pay for their owr
food. During the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1918, the food for the
army cost $425, 900, 10000.
A soldiers food for one day il
called ration. This ration consists
Of twenty-seven different articles
which must be ready daily, and they
are ready. General Pershing reports
that no man in France has had to
wait for meal when that meal was
due, and the same is true on this
side.
The materials in the soldiers ra-
ton will stand the acid test. Moth
ing second grade is bought. Only
the best Of meat is procured and it
Is handled in central place in each
camp by butchers; the cuts are thus
used to the best advantage and
waste of bones and surplus fat
avoided.
Packers are required to can the
best variety of fruits and vegetables
and the department has gone into
those states, where the finest grade
of tomatoes, corn, onions, peas and
beans are grown and has taken such
portions Of the crop as were needed
for army use. Last August 1881
500 pounds of potatoes and onions
were furnished camps and canton
ments in this country; and during
the eight months prior to June s,
1918, about 75,000,0 900 cans of to-
matoes were used, enough to reach

HOW 10 HANDLE
COUNTY WARRANTS

Auditors Office, Bingham County,
Idaho.
Byron Defenbach & Sons,
Blacksoot, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your request for an
opinion as to the law relative to the
endorsement of the Treasurer upon
county warrants Not paid for want
lof funds, and your statement that
1t is the custom of the Auditor in
issuing such warrants to secure from
the Treasurer his certificate of pre-
sentation before the warrants are
delivered into the hands of the payee
named therein, beg to advise you
as follows:
Section 1895. Political Code OF
Idaho, provides:
When any warrant Is presented
to the treasurer for payment
and the sam, is not paid for
want of funds, the treasurer
must endorse thereon mot paid
for want of funds" annexing
the date Of presentation and
sign. his name thereto; and
from that time until paid the
warrant bears seven per cent
interest"
1t is my opinion that the proceed
ure followed by the auditor Of this
county is improper; the statute
above quoted provides that the war
rant when presented to the treas
urer for payment and not paid for
want of funds shall be endorsed by
the treasurer.
think that under this statute it,
is clearly the duty of the payee to
present the warrant anu secure the
treasurer's endorsement thereon. In
terest only runs from the date of
presentation and of course the county
officers should be Interested in saw
ing such interest whenever possible.
| am sure that the procedure now
followed in this respect was and is
due to the precedent set by former
auditors, but believe that such pro-
cedure is erroneous, and should be
corrected hereafter.
Yours respectfully,

1t is indeed unfortunate that the
political party in power usually has
to stand for lot of unjust criticism
The party that is looking on and
waiting for their turn to administer
the government usually says great
deal on what is being done by the
party in power. The Democrats have
put in a greatSdeal of time finding
fault with the Republicans and the
Republicans have raised considerable
hulabaloo about Democrat activities.
During the early days of the Eu-
ropean war and before our own entry
into the struggle great deal was
said about the unpreparedness of
the American fleet and no doubt
much of it was true. Everybody
knows now that we were too slow in
preparing for work by the army and
navy, but readers may remember
that in the early days of the war
there was a review of the American
navy forces in New York harbor and
much was said about the unfitness of
many of the vessels>for active service.
1t was said that many of the best
vessels in the navy were so poorly
manned that they could not go into
action. 1t was even said of some of
them that they were unsea-worthy
las well as poorly manned.
At the present time these critics
must be in the dilemma of admitting
that when the time for action came
the navy had been very speedily put
in trim or else 1t was in good trim
all the time, for the navy has not
failed us nor disgraced us during the
war.
Within the past month much has
been said about muzzling the press
in the United States for war purposes
and predictions have been made that
the administration would take over
the ocean cables and place such a
close censorship on the activities of
the peace conference that American
people would not be able to keep in
touch with it and would know little
OF what was being done until it was
all over.
Many publihers advanced these
ideas as if they were sincerely
alarmed. Now it transpirees that the
censorship is being lifted and that
the government will not only keep
the ocean cables in service to handle
the news of the peace conference,
but orders have been given to handle
the news of the peace conference
first. 1t is to be transmitted ahead
of all other business and the admin
1stration very correctly says that |
the news of the peace conference, as |
1t transpires, will be the most i'm
portant news and the most impor-
tant business in the civilized world. |
We are curious to know what the /
calamity howlers will say in the next
thirty days about the subject that
they howled about during the last
month. While we are working to
usher in better conditions they will
be having the advantage of every
body. We wish the calamity howlers
would learn to conduct their critic
ism and perfectly reasonable and
honest way, cutting out these great
extremes.

BIG FALLING OFF IN
GERMAN BIRTH RATE
Decline Of 70 Per Cent Reported in
Live Births Between 1918 and

A decrease in Germany's live
births from 100000 in 1913 to

40 per cent is revealed by figures
compiled from German sources by

PARIS WENT WILD.
So Lieutenant John III. NIullin Writes
Concerning News of End Of War.

Lieutenant John II. Mullin of Will
mington, who is in charge of the Medical
Branch of Hospital No. 3, at the Hos
pital for Officers, France, has written a
letter under date of November II, in
which he describes the scenes in Paris in
celebration of the armistice signing.
"The city is overcome with Joy and
decorated beyond description" he writes.
when the bells and cannon sounded
announcing the signing of the armistice,
the people went wild, some with JOY,
other with sadness for | saw many
weeping bitterly at the thought of the
loved ones they had lost. 1t was simply
a reaction. Up to this time they had
borne their sorrow without murmur.
Downtown the people moved along
the streets in swarms as thick as bees,
the pavements crowded with British,
French, Italians, Americans and so on
Soldiers marched down the street arm in
arm, everyone running up to kiss them.
One of the biggest annon was drawn by
party of French sailors; husky Ameri-
can soldier sat astride the gun waving
an American flag In another group
huge Negro soldier walked arm in arm
with a French colonel. The festivities
are still going on, but all III an orderly
fashion The French are so nice about
it all and give the credit to our men"
Lieutenant Mullin closes the letter by
recalling that he is a Princeton graduate,
and from that viii arise an added pleasure
