Statement of
HGerman Assets.

In reviewing the question Of
whether Germany is able to pay
war damages and war expenditures
incurred by the Allies, the London
Daily Mail declares that the esti-
mated Allied expenditures of 25.-
OO0.0OO.000 English pounds are less
than one.seVenth of the main Ger
man assets in sight.
The railway systems in the Ger
man states are the property OF the
various governments which in ad-
dition, own forests, mines, and large
areas of lands. The newspaper says
that moderate estimate of the
value of German mineral deposits
is 1871, OOO,OOO,OOO English pounds.
In 1871 Germany made France
pay not only the cost of the war,
but exacted a fine OF 100000
English pounds and the surrender
OF Alsace-Lorraine. The Daily Mail
says that the Allies ask for no fine
but require reparation only.

Morgenthau Says
Guilty Should Pay.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 8-"Ihe prece-

rulers can not commit wholesale
murders and escape the conse-
quences.' This is the view as ex-
pressed here by Henry Morgenthau,
former ambassador to Turkey. Mr..
Morgenthau arrived in Atlanta to
deliver an address in the interest
of the Jewish war relief fund.
Not only should the former Ger
man kaiser be punished, he declar-
ed, but Won Hindenburg, Luden-
dorff, "and others too numerous to
mention, including the rulers Of
the Turkish Government response

Armenians and the brutal mistreat-

bar of justice" "All have got to

crimes" the former ambassador

The presence Of President Wilson
at the peace conference is absolute
ly ESSENTIAL, Mr.. Morgenthau said.

Our friend George Morris, editor
of the Memphis News Scimitar. in
an editorial a few days ago failed
measure up to his real dimensions,
when he referred to Richard H.
Yancey, of the Nashville Banner as,
in one sense, the leading editorial
writer in the South. Mr.. Yancey is,
we grant, the best historical editorial
writer in the south, but otherwise
he does not rival. much less eclipse
C. P. J. Mooney, Of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal and time alone
has given Yancey the advantage
we grant him. The Scimitar and
Commercial Appeal are rivals-but
Editor Morris is yet young and the
local rivalry between the two
Memphis papers should not be per-
mitted to keep him from that
broadness and fairmindedness for
which he has generally been
known In his newspaper work. AS
a power for patriotic Americanism
during the late world war and for
the cause Of humanity in all the
world, the Memphis Commercial
Appeal has been the tallest and
strongest tower Of strength to the
reading public in the Southland
we make that limitation only be-
cause the c. A. has its circulation
here.

acres of meadow land are owned by
Mrs. Daniels and a large tonnage of
wild hay is cut from them annually.
A good deal of hay is required on this
ranch. where quite a number of horses
and cattle are fed. This year how
ever, the hay stacks are getting off
easy as the open fall is giving plenty
of pasture. Ray Daniels has his ar
rangements all made to go into the ma

In Arbon valley a great amount Of
alfalfa is raised and early in the fall
it was noticed that the growers of this
most useful forage had stacked up
large tonnages of it. Last winter
many ranchers were caught in the hay
shortage and they evidently learned
by the severe experience, as it is no
fun to haul up a load of hay from the
railrOad burgs through the deep snow;
and the price paid per ton last winter.
if represented in ~greenbacks. came
nearly equaling in bulk the load Of
hay. All over the valley these stacks
are in most cases intact, the open fall
providing the stock with plenty Of
pasture. The hay, however, will keep
for an indefinite period and will be re-
lished by the livestock at n time.

Henry Fedler this year raised 120
acres of Turkey Red wheat on his
320-acre ranch 10 miles west of Amer
lean Falls and 100 acres on his 800
acre farm near the lava rocks, two
and a half miles southwest of the home
ranch. An acre average of IA bushels
was threshed and the wheat tested
SO pounds per bushel and brought
from s3.08 to s3.11 per 100 pounds.
Mr.. Fedler is we'll pleased with the
yield and the prices. especially with
the latter. A smaller acreage of Blue
stem was cut for hay. Wheat grow
ing, however, is not the whole thing
on this ranch. At present only one
COW is being MIXED, but during the
spring and summer months two were
MIXED. The flock of laying hens
numbers about 40 and in the spring
and summer of 1916 the income de-
rived from the aisle of eggs and young
stock was $3.50, and the sale of butter
added enough TO make a total of $1S7.
This year the income from eggs and
butter will closely approach 5000.
The chickens on this ranch are mixed
stock and they do not require much
care. Mr.. and Mrs. Fedler have been
on this ranch for four years, coming
here from the John Day country in
Grant county. Oregon. Mr.. Fedler
~confesses that he likes it a shade bet
ter in Oregon than here. but added
that the women folks-Mrs. Fedler and
his daughter, Miss Mary-like it bet
ter in Idaho. Since the majority rules
in America. Mr.. Fedler will remain in
Idaho as n of Power county's good
ranchers.

Now the Grocers of Idaho are planning to

whether this change is actuated through pa

mined when the credit grocer announces his

fact makes it easy for us to do that which the

Try a Skaggs Cash Store, where the price

Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Porter are staying
on the ranch this winter, a mile west
of Arbon ~postoffice. Last winter Mr..
Porter and his family moved out. and
in the spring the roads were so bad
that they could not get back to the
ranch in time to attend to the early
spring work. Mr.. Porter stated that
as a result he was behind in his work
all summer, and he has resolved to
stay with the farm both winter and
summer. This fall he has accomplish
ed a great mount of work hat or
dinarily is left to be done in the spring.
and he is just that much ahead. His
father, c. D. Porter, who resides on a
ranch a mile to the south, also stays
on the ranch during the winter
months. Mr.. Porter, Sr., owns 4S0
acres of land and leases $50 more. and
he and his son cooperate in the farm
ing operations. This fall they have
seeded 300 acres to Turkey Red and
in the spring will seed lao acres to
Bluestem. In 1917 they harvested 800
acres of Turkey Red and Is acres of
Bluestem. Some of the Turkey Red
went IA bushels per acre and it brought
from SLIP at the platform to S1.92 at
Michaud per bushel. On the home
ranch of Mr.. Porter. Sr.. 20 acres are
in alfalfa, irrigated from the Knox
canyon ditch. and two crops are an
nually cut. This year the third crop
grew more than a foot high and was
used as pasture. Mr.. Porter and his
son are newcomers to the west, COM
ing here from Illinois three years ago,
and the elder has stated that alfalfa
growing is an entirely new venture to
him-but a delightful one. He has
given the Pilgrim some excellent
points on his experiences here as a
rancher and they will be published at
a later date.

While in Arbon valley the Pilgrim
one day called at the ranch of a farm
er who had just finished the necessary
work of cleaning out his chicken house,
and in the ensuing conversation the
subject of mites came up. His little
daughter, three years old. listened to
the talk, and a little while later pre-
scented her doll to the visitor for in
spection in the charming way all little
girlies do. When asked what the
dolls name was, the little one replied
that it had no name; when it was sug-
gested that she name the doll Mike

F. c. Reiger, whose ranch is located
near Crystal, threshed an average of
Is bushels per acre from his field of
Bluestem and received s2.95 per 100
pounds for it, and that is getting near
the top price for Bluestem. Mr.. Reig-
er overlooks no bet in getting his
ground in shape each year so hat the
grain will have every possible advan-
tage which can be provided. This
winter he is putting in his time cut
ting firewood on Mink creek for a con-
Germ in Pocatello. He took full ad-
