Sour Stomach.

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid sour stomach
without taking any medicine whatever.
When you have sour stomach take one
of Chamberlain's Tablets to aid di-
gestion.

THERE are in Gem and Canyon
counties more .nan 100000 acres
of as good land as lies out of doors
that only needs the support OF Sec
rotary Lanes department and con-
gress to make i; available for the
purpose the secretary is now cham
pioning. Here in the Payette valley
there is a large tract of water-lDgge
land that only needs draining to make
it wonderfully productive. These are
only a drop in the bucket in Mr.
Lanes big scheme, but scattered all
over this far western country there
are several million acres that only
await the sanction of the interior de-
partment and an appropriation from
congress to make them available for
the soldier boys. when they come
marching home.

A S an example, Secretary Lane says,
it has been estimated that the irri-
gable public land amounts to 8 mill
lion acres, not great area, but irri-
gated farms are small in acreage.
Besides this arid land there are from
10 to 80 million acres of swamp and
overflow land, of which the secretary
SAYS it has been estimated that go
million acres can be reclaimed. There
is very large area, perhaps 200 mil
lion acres, of cut-over timber lands,
most of it available for agricultural
use, but this land is in private owner
ship, and no provisions have ever been
made or considered for making it
available for homes. Any plan for the
development of land for the return
ing soldier will come face to face with
the fact that new policy will have to
meet the new conditions. The era of
free or cheap land in the United
States has passed. We must meet the
new conditions of developing lands in
security must to a degree
replace speculation. This is an imme-
date duty. 1t will be too late to plan
for these things when the war is over"
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-06-27


MOT all soldiers will care to go on
the land, to become farmers, but
Secretary Lane is planning and look
ing ahead for those who do. The in
dustrial organization of the country
also has the opportunity of making
provision, as it is able, by combined
action and understanding among in
dustrial managers, planning for the
returning soldier, to furnish him an
opportunity to make living. 1t re-
quires no great power of imagination
to see these boys streaming home, mil
lions of them. What will they find
here for them? Not narrowed, but
wider opportunity than before they
left should be the aim of the govern
ment. Fighting men in war are y *
ing men in peace, and in either capac-
ity the same persons. A nation w,rth
fighting for is worth working for.
These boys will think so. They vii
expect, and they will receive, betu
conditions than ever existed
in this nation before. And it is the
part of craftsmanship to look ahead
and make provisions, so far as posi- |
Die, in this spirit against their return.

TALES OF TOWN
TWO FLAGS SIDE BY SIDE.

Two flags that flutter side by side
Hats off where'er you see them fly
The banner of our country's pride,
And yon new flag that floats on high
That flag that everywhere you meet,
In little windows, DER the street,
In front of church and mill and store
The service flag that marks one more
Dear fellows gone to join the warl
Two flags that win our equal love-
Yon starry banner there above
The other in the little street
With each new star to make complete
The record unto human eyes
Of some ones dearest mid the CLEAN
Gone forth-unselfish, noble, true
To make the sacrifice supreme>>
For that dear flag against the skies
The old Red, White and Blue!
Two flags, two symbols, both divine
One of the dear lads in the line,
One of the land for which they've gone
Upward against that mighty dawn
OF herohood to strike their blow
For you and me, for all they know
Of truth and right and love and worth,
To make this earth a sweeter earth,
Shorn of the vandal power that sears
The very soul with tears!
Two flags that futter side by side
The service flag, the flag above,
Whose stars and stripes are freedoms
pride
Both flags our own in equal love!
One for the land DER which it flies,
One for the lad who fights and dies
That this dear land, by freedoms will,
May live and smile and conquer still,
That truth may triumph and the right
this high service live in
might.

THE statement from Washington
that we will very shortly have
million soldiers in the armies of the
United States makes Secretary Lanes
letter to the president relative to the
care of returned soldiers after the
war timely and important. These
young men have given up business,
trades they were learning, education
in the midst of it, to fight in behalf
of the rest of us, and when they re-
turn they will find probably business
reaction and reorganization going on,
or soon to follow, that will make it
difficult for them TO find satisfactory
place for themselves, if matters are
left to drift. Years the most i'm
of preparation and fitting for life
work, will have been given to the ma
ton, and the reciprocal obligation of
the nation not to forget these young
men, not to fail or neglect to make
suitable provision for them, appeals to
all we'll meaning Americans. The sec
rotary points out that the arabic pub
lie land does not permit of adequate
provision for cheap homes, as after
the Civil war, for returning soldiers.
1t is desirable to see that they may |
be home owners rather, as he says,
than tenants. But one thing the sec
rotary emphasizes, and that is that
there are great areas of land that
through irrigation or drainage can
be made fit for homes. and this is
matter that he puts forward In his
letter to the president as specially
worthy of attention without delay

The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1918-06-27

GO far as this feature of preparation
for the returning soldier goes, 1t
is not the intention to irrigate the
land for him in advance, therefore, but
only to make provision, to complete
surveys, to be able to promise what
can be done with given tract of land,
and to fulfill the pledge, and then to
let the soldier build the irrigation pro-
ject, making his own home, but pro-
.ected while he is doing it, money
advanced to be repaid over long
stretch of years, 80 or 40. The nation
will lend its credit to the returning
soldiers.

planning well under way, if appropri-
ated now. He does not think anything
further should be attempted at this
time than planning, with the idea that
when the soldier returns the nation
will have prepared itself to say TO
him: "If you wish to go upon farm
here are variety of farms of which
you may take your pick, which the
has prepared against the
time of your returning" Nothing like
charity or bounty is intended,
"He is not to be made to feel that
he is dependent. On the contrary,
he is to continue in sense in the
service of the government"

OUR PATRONS ARE
APPRECIATIVE.

The New Era'S patrons are appre-
ciative of the paper and because
things have SO generally raised in
price they agree that we were justi-
fed in raising the subscription price
to $2.OO year in place of $1.5O. AS
matter of fact we would prefer
$3.50 as things were two or three
years ago in price. than to get $2.00
per year now with prices of our
papers, inks. labor and other COM
modities SO high. II we had made a
raise in proportion to our raw ma
terial and other advanced costs We
would have had to make 1t $3.50 per
year.
In all the time since the first of
the year we raised the rates we have
had but four people discontinue be-
cause of the advanced subscription
price. During that time also we have
added nine times that number of new
patrons to our list. One of the four
who stopped his paper was a farmer
who wrote: 81 cannot afford to take
paper at $500 per year" This
same farmer sold his beahs for al
most double what beans used to sell
for. He also got $40 per ton for his
alfalfa hay which two years ago sold
for $3.50. and so on. OF course he
can't afford to take the paper at $2.00
year.

WHY NOT BALLREICH
FOR GOVERNOR?

Chas. A. Ballreich, of Pueblo, ia
deserving the support of the Repub-
licans of Colorado for the nomination
to the office of governor. Ballreich
is not an announced candidate for
the office, but that makes no differ
ence. 1t won't hurt the party to
seek the man rather than have the
man seek the Office. Ballreich has
asked but little of his party. On the
other hand he has always been hard
worker for the party and for those
IN the many campaigns past who have
-been out for office. He has done
zmore good hard campaigning for
others than perhaps any other one
man has done in the state. If man
should be rewarded for such work
then Ballreich is deserving the recog
milton his party can give him.
