FLY SKATERS OUT OF DATE
GET HIS BREEDING PLACE

Good suggestions as to getting rid
of the fly and the mosquitoes.
Flies are every where and are of
great danger to our good health. They
are always annoying us and carrying
diseases-yet they can easil he con-
trolled and our homes may be kept
clear of these pests
Flies breed in filth and if their
breeding places are attaeked-there
will be no reason for us TO have TO
Swat the Fly"
The fly leaves his breeding place
and flies directly to food, conveying
on his feet germs of typhoid, tubercu-
losis, dysentery and many other dis
eases.

Don't swat the fly go after his breed

powder, ground from Closed flowers
so termed because the flowers are
just about to blossom or open. The
Oleo-rasin, the source of the insect
cidal properties has at this stage
reached its greatest development.
Mosquitoes are as easy, if not east

carry malaria and many other dis
eases. Go after them with a pure

EVERYBODY NEARLY SATISFIED.

Everybody and his dog may not
be satisfied with the decision of Gov
ernor Alexander to refrain from call
the legislature together, but the word
"amen" echoes from many corners
and from adverse elements. The State
Federation of Agriculture at its re-
cent meeting declared that 1.-THE adj
ministration," proposed to call the
Legislature in special session. and de-
nouned the proposition, so it ought to
be happy. The Boise Statesman. Joins
in the chorus of commentator The
TIMES is inclined to do likewise. The
legislature whose term is still unex-
pired is, all things considered. the
best the state ever had, and there are
things that ought to provide for the
carrying out of the state end of the
agricultural federation's suggestion
that the electrical power not vet dis
posed of be handled by the state
This, however, with the prohibitorv
amendment and needed buildings can
be taken up later The success of
the amendment will not be endanger-
ed by waiting until next winter.
Probably, it would do the right thing;
but there is always a possibility that
legislature called together in hur-
ry may attempt to do things that
might well be left undone. Perhaps
it is well that this one was not given
the opportunity.
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1918-02-07

that it would be difficult to excuse,
the TIMES submits the above indis-
putable facts for consideration, as an
explanation of any seeming contra
diction between the acts of the or
CARNATIONS during an unusually diff
cult period of business disturbance,
and the patriotism of the individuals
who controlled such interests at that
time 1t wants to point out that this
unsatisfactory condition no longer ex-
T lists. It wants to suggest that while
the farmers should stand, through
their farm bureaus, for the carrying
out of all concessions TO the letter,
they should not. bark back to old
grievances at this period, after they
are either abolished, or are in the
way of being speedily abolished.

THE SUGAR MEETING

The TIMES desires to congratulate
President w. f. Alworth of the state
organization of farm bureau presi-
dents. for his stand on the question of
sugar production this year, under the
regulation established. Not only has
the price been materially increased,
but promises have been received that
the irritating grievances so often just
" complained of relative to unload
ing and the like will be remedied.
Moreover, assurance is given that the
farm bureau representatives, who
speak for the government no less
than for the farmers of the individual
county organizations which select
them, will be permitted to see to it
that all arrangements are carried out.
The TIMES has stood by the far
mers in this fight with the companies
from the day that the old beet grow
ers' association was formed up to the
present day. 1t believed that there
were real grievances to remedy and
believed that prices for beets were
not as high as they should have been,
making due allowance for the very
considerable degree of exaggeration
that always creeps into charges made
in the heat of battle. The facts and
figures in the case sustain that po-
sition.
1t is quite willing to agree with the
spokesman of the department of ag-
riculture that an ideal state has moi
yet been arrived at But while thi.
is the case, it must also be admitted
that a condition of affairs has beer

given by the farmers to the plea of
President Alworth to raise more sug-
ar beets in this trying time of nation
al need.
Relative to the question of indiv-
idual patriotism of the sugar makers.
the TIMES has no doubt on the ques-
ton and never has had Patriotism is
a personal trait The talk about this
war being a erich mans war and a
poor mans fight" is a pro-German
falsehood. The sons of the rich and
the sons of the poor are fighting with
equal valor and with equal disinter-
estedness on the fields of Europe. The
rich have subscribed in accordance
with their means to every call for
funds for relief. just as the poor have
done, just as the men of moderate
means have done On this score there
has been no difference.
When the war broke out abroad, it
was an inconceivably difficult task to
apply patriotism in a practical way
to business operations. There are
two theories of modern individual
istic economies: one, the theory of
regulated monopoly and the other the
theory of regulated competition.
Neither prevailed before the war,
either in law or in fact. While less
jug-handled under the laws enacted
under the Wilson administration than
at any time for more than half a CEN
fury before, we still had in existence
great deal of unregulated, lop-sided
competition, and a certain amount of
unrestrained monopoly, based largely
on this biased competition. Still,
things were working along on a fair
ly definite basis. and gave people a
chance to calculate with some degree
of accuracy
The declaration of war by the Uni
ted States accentuated a tendency
manifested in business from the be-
ginning of the war in Europe The
normal regulations of competition, &C
tive or potential, were removed To
take its place regulation was needed
and this regulation. to secure benefic-
ial results, or even results not posi-
/ lively harmful. must be studied out
with the greatest care. Even then
mistakes and oversights were inevi-
table. Until such regulation came to
replace the ordinary props of compe-
tition and to stake the ground from
which landmarks had been swept
away, the only thing that each bust
ness could do to protect itself from
all other sorts of industrial activities
was to rush in and get all it could
Business pretty largely did this, nc
less as a matter of greed than as Z
matter of self-protection. The bust
ness which contemplated voluntarily
restraining its acquisitive qualities
had no assurance that rivals in it,
own line, or in parallel lines, woulC
show like confluence. Hence. the in
centive to grab was everywhere mani
fest under peculiarly unrestraine,
