KENTUCKY RED CROSS" CORN

The ear of corn faithfully and ex-
actly shown in the above cut was
husked from an ordinary field Of
Dent" near Somerset in Pulaski cOun-
ty, Kentucky, just a week before the
beginning of the last great national
Red Cross drive, and is now on eX-
hibition in the office of the News in
the city named. 1t is possible that it
might have passed unnoticed in or
binary times; but under the circum-
stances it at once attracted interest
and attention both far and near-a

President Wilson and eliciting

post for Mr.. S. NJ Boone, of the
TIMES indeed there have been

it from its Indian occupants. 1t is al
so known as the center of the earth, ?"
having been thus christened during
the civil war by our Mr.. Boone's
father, then a member of the Union
army. So it was that Mr.. S. NJ.
Boone went back there this fall after
nine years absence, with mingled
pleasure, pride and satisfaction-and
however surprised any one else may
have been to see the soil put forth
patriotic emblems, we think Sam
was all the time rather expecting
something of the kind! At all events
he hailed it with acclaim and made a
vigorous effort to bring it back to
Twin Falls with him, assuring the ma
tives that any corn that would show
one red cross on forty acres in Ken
lucky would grow at least one to each
hill out herel But the ear itself
would not be surrendered and he was
obliged to content himself with a
photograph (Which was all the presi-
dent goD, and which the TIMES is
glad to reproduce herewith.

The desirabiiity Of raising more
hogs. often emphasized in the TIMES
and strongly urged through its col
umns on several occasions by DR. w.
A. Sullivan. of the United States bur
eau of animal industry, is q point
brought home with great directness
and force by c. e. Granville. special
representative OF the Salt Lake union
stock yards who was in this city
yesterday and who is now trying to
get the farmers Interested in this
subject.
Last October Herbert c. Hoover,
federal food administrator, appointed
Joseph p. Cotton as chief of the meat
division of the United States food adj
ministration, with headquarters at
Chicago Having considered the sit
uation from all angles, Mr. Cotton is
sued statement, the following of
which is pointed to as being of spec
ial interest and Importance to hog
raisers.
I'VE have had, and shall have. the
advice OF a board composed of prac-
teal hog-growers and experts That
board advises that the best yardstick
to measure the cost of production of
the hog is the cost of corn. That
board further advises that the ratio of
corn price to hog price, on the aver
age over a series of years, has been
about twelve to one Tor a little less)
In the past, when the ratio has gone
| lower than twelve to one, the stock
Of hogs in the country has decreased,
When it was higher than twelve, the
! hogs have increased That board has
given its judgment that. to bring the
stock of hogs back to normal, under
present conditions the ratio should
be about thirteen. Therefore. as to
the hogs farrowed next spring, we
will try to stabilize the price, so that
the farmer can count on getting for
each 100 pounds Of hog ready for mar
ket thirteen times the average cost
per bushel of the corn fed into the
hogs. Let there be no misunder-
standing of this statement. It is not
a guarantee backed by money 1t is
not a promise by the packers. It is
a statement Of the intention and pol
icy OF the Food Administration, which
means to do Justice TO the farmer"
Mr.. Granville points out that I'M
fortunately many people have sold
breeding stock and that this practice
should stop ard as many as possible
should enter the business of raising
pork so necessary TO the feeding of
the nation and so vital to the increas-
ed prosperity of the people of the
country of Idaho and of the Twin
Falls tract

F arm Prospects
For Idaho Good
Wheat Outlook rs Whole Fine-S Says
If Labor Draft Is ResOrted To Idle
Rich Must Help Work.

The farmers of Idaho as a whole
face a satisfactory condition next year
in the opinion of Harvey Alfred, head
of the state farm bureau, who went
through the city yesterday on his way
to the Salmon tract where he is hold
ing Institutes this week In many
places the wheat prospects are bet
ter than ever before, though some of
the farmers were prevented from
blowing, in the dry farming districts,
by reason of lack of enough rain.
Mr. Alfred strongly favOrs the inn
portation of oriental labor, as he says
that a great labor shortage is threat
ened. He says that he is pretty much
alone in this respect. In his opinion
the situation would be much improv-
ed if all idle men could he drafted,
provided that they could be made to
do sufficient work in the right way
after drafting This. however. he
questions. He emphatically declares
that he believes that all idle men
should be compelled to produce some
thing, if such system would operate,
and that this applies no less to the
idle millionaire than to the wander
ing tramp.
The problem of good seed is one
which will require careful study, in
the opinion of the market bureau head
and the securing Of first class quality
is greatly to be desired.

Dear Folks:
got the night letter the day after
Christmas. I had gotten three of your
letters and so my anxiety had been
ended.
! spent a very quiet Christmas day
in Camp. Was busted" We had a
big turkey dinner with all the trim
mings I thought we were pretty
lucky The Red Cross gave each man
a Christmas package. The bundle
was tied up in a nice o. d. handker-
chief and the contents consisted Of q
box of candy, writing paper and en-
velopes, and lots of tobacco, pipe,
cigarette papers and deck Of playing
cards. They meant well Of course,
but the Smokes" were not much ap-
preciated by me since 1 don't use

fine, warm weather 1t is very win

below zero this morning. We arn't
suffering any in our barrack buildings
but we surely make the most Of all
our knitted stuff when we are out
doors.
You say you want to know more
about the brigade headquarters de-
tachment, which took me away from
the company. I thought I had told
you something about it. Besides a
number of officers there are just for
ty-nine enlisted men, consisting Of
sergeants, corpOrals. orderlies, cooks,
mechanics, horshoer. WAGNER, tele-
phone operators, signalmen and
scouts Most of us are mounted

like the same as does the telegraph
instrument. / have learned the the
DRY of construction and operation Of
the instrument and the code. I am
practicing sending and receiving now
but it will take some time to gain
proficiency Each man in the de-
tachment is supposed to have a thor

The regiment has been gone for
over a week so I don't see Talbot and
the other fellows any more.
We have a pretty good bunch OF
fellows in the detachment, but they
were all strangers. I was the only
Idaho man transferred. They are a
bunch selected from all over the brig
ade, though more Of them are from
Portland. Oregon, than from any other
place. I'm getting pretty well ac-
Quainted now.

c. Whaley, the collector, arrived yes
terday and went to Rogerson where
he will remain the rest of the week,
going thence to Filler and coming here
on January "A. The following is his
own story of what he wants and when
he wants it:
1.-THE new war revenue act extends
the income tax to include all mar
ried persons having a net income of
$4,000 or more and all unmarried per-
sons having a net income of $1,000 or
more for the year 1917.
They are required to report their in
come, on a form prescribed for that
purpose, to me, or one of my officers,
on or before March /, 1918, met" in
come is the amount left after sub
tracing expenses (but not family ex-
penses, money used to pay off the
principal of mortgage, new machin-
cry, buildings, or improvements from
the gross income. If the remainder
is $4,000 or $1,000 then the person has
to make return of income and nay
tax. If he doesn't report he becomes
liable to penalties of from $40 to $1,000
fine or imprisonment
1T is the taxpayers business to go
to him. He is supposed to report his
income for 1917 before March /, 1918.

report their incomes and to assist
them in making out their reports, the

Twin Falls Wins
First Basket Ball
Hard Contest Results In Clean Vie
tory Over Excellent ShOshOne Team
Last Friday.

The first game of the Twin Falls
basketball season was won by the 10
cal quintet from the ShOshOne nigh
school team on last Friday.
The game was called at $3.50 in the
afternoon, thereby making it possible
for the northsiders to motor home al
ter the game. The boys game was
preceded by a fast and interesting
game between two of the high school
girls team. Miss Johnson has de-
velOped some very good material, and
ii they are given a chance to defend
the past titles of the Twin Falls bas-
ketball teams, team will be put out
that will be a credit to the high
school
The Twin Falls boys came onto the
floor, for the first game of the season
with much enthusiasm, and they were
greeted with continuous cheers from
the student body. The game opened
with very loose playing and continu-
GUS fOuling by both sides. The. first
scores were made on free throws by
Newman After a short time the Twin
Falls boys found themselves and be-
gan to show excellent team work and
during the remainder of the first half
the ball was kept mostly near the
Twin Falls goal At the end of the
first half Twin Falls was in the lead
by a score of 10 to 5, Shoshone hav-
ing made one basket and three free
throws
Shoshone came back strong in the
second half and made an attempt to
hold the Twin Falls boys, but it was
OF no use, Twin Falls continued to
score and when the final whistle blew
they had succeeded in running the
score to Al against Shoshone's 16
If Coach Nafziger's boys continue
throughout the season at the pace
they have started, Twin Falls may be
able to boast of a championship bas
ketball team, this being their first
game of the season, while the Sho-
shone boys had played five games
with other schools before meeting the
Twin Falls boys.
The following is the lineup Of the
two teams.

THE ARCH.PIG OF THE NORTH

That the people of Ketchikan, immediate vicinity and adjacent communities have contrib ,lted generously their money to the Ked 0foss in the recent drive. is evidenced by the report of the committee published in this issue. II we consider that s5O00 was the allotment ot the Katchikan chapter and that S1S,116.2o. was con- 4ributed, we are forced to agree with the com nittee that the people showed an unprecedented generosity.
 Headed by Chairman Geo. F. Rounsefell. most enthusiastic supporter of the cause, ably assisted by force of assistants. men and wo- men in,bued with spirit that knows no defeat from the start to the finish, every one appeared determined to show the world real i've patfl- otic community and we are glad to say. sue ceeded to remarkable degree, for the achieve ment recorded is unsurpassed by any community the size of Ketchikan. We may well be proud of the people of this precinct. They are of mighty good sort-none better. Every ndlvld- ual corporation company came up to the most sanguina expectation. Some better than others, but as general rule they all contributed accord ing to their means. with the exception of the ARCH-PIG OF THE NORTH, the Northwestern Fisheries Company.
 That company, which owns six canneries in southeastern Alaska, and made over two mll- lion dollars last year. reckessly contributed $50 while the employees in four of the companys canneries contributed S971.55. Just think, a company making over two million out of our country in one season and contributing $50 to the Red Cross It's extravaganza is appalling. Incidentally we may mention that during the Christmas drive last fall, the company refused to contribute penny. Yet our boys are on the front fighting for the protection of the com pany's property just as much as they are fighting for our homes. Our women working night and day to help the fighting boys. The entire population of the country is saving food that the boys may keep up their health to the end that they may be able to give us and the ARCH-PIG better prot acton.

LET US ALL JOIN.

A number of citizens met at the Council Chamber last night in answer to a call by May or Wakefield to discuss the advisability of cele- brating the Fourth, and voted to do so. While the decision arrived at cannot be said to repre- sent the sentiment of the majority of the cit- gems of the town, yet it represents the sentiment of the majority of those who were interested to the extent of attending the meeting. which con- stitute the majority for the purpose. Therefore it behooves every one of us to join and give it boost in vigorous manner. Personally we favor giving the children the right-of-way and give them the time of their lives. Unless some thing happens of happy nature within the next few days. we doubt whether grown-up people s hearts shall feel like enjoying any kind of cele- bration for the seriousness of the situation for bids But we can at least check our feeling temporarily and help keep the young hearts young.
