can aspire to the purple-it must be

princess because she belonged to a

new ERA PREDICTED

Realization

The following address was de.
livered before the Idaho State Bank.
ers' association at Burley, June l6,
by Monte B. Gwinn, president OF
the association. 1t is full of thoughts
expressing the bankers point of view
and therefor valuable to any student
Of the times:
AS the Idaho bankers association
meets this year in it's fifteenth an
nual convention, we find ourselves
in new era, with new conditions
surrounding us, and with the busi-
ness of banking rapidly developing
along new lines and serving the peo-
pie in new way.
The war has revolutionized busi-
ness, and our ideas of business.
Ihlngs that seemed impossible, or
financially too large to hope for a
few years ago, have all been accomp-
lished under the pressure of neces-
sity, and today the people of our
country are in a frame of mind
where nothing is too great or too
difficult to accomplish If we shall
determine to do it. Where we once
spoke in terms of millions, today
we attain billions-and success has
crowned every effort. And so the
war has given us a new idea of the
ability, potentiality, willingness and
resourcefulness, of the American peo-
pie, and I am Of the opinion that un-
precendented growth and develop
ment will be witnessed in the next
1eW years-indeed, such as the world
has never known.
When we became involved in the
world war, the nation turned to the
banks for help and our financial in
stltutions promptly and gratuitously
TOOK up the work OF, raising the bill
lions of dollars needed to bring about
a speedy victory. It was wonderful
service, cheerfully and patriotically
rendered, and has brought forth
words of commentator from the
people of our entire land. The two
greatest forces in helping our gov
ernment during the war were the
banks and the public press. AS

Idle Boys Turn to
Destructive Hoodlums

Gangs Of young men, ranging from
the age Of fourteen to twenty, are
taking exercise and diversion at the
city park at night. Most of the tables
so carefully made for picnickers and
tourists are now minus legs The
benches are racked and weakened: /:
The ladies of the v. I. S. have
been for some time demanding ade-
quate policing for the park, but
there is only day man, and the
city cannot afford to hire a night
man, according to Mayor Thorsten-
berg. The soldiers organization
which is planning to enter the park
with dance platform, is determined
that in some way lawlessness at the
park must be stopped.

Royal Neighbors
Had Good Picnic

A most pleasant affair was the
picnic of the Royal Neighbors Wed.
nesday afternoon and evening at the
city park when about 100 of their
number, grown-ups and kiddies,
gathered to enjoy the annual affair
which always means a full afternoon
Of sports and excellent picnic lunch.
Included in the afternoons sport,
and perhaps the most interesting and
exciting number on the program was
the women's ball game, when the
fats and leans" crossed bats. Every
one on both teams played hard and
fast and the fats" felt justly proud
when they carried off the honors
as winning team. The little folks;
OF course, enjoyed themselves as only
kiddies can on picnic day.
The committee in charge furnished
an abundance of ice cream and lem
onade and the men came out to help
eat supper.

HERE TO SELL BUGS

w. G. Mount, of the
Western Soil Bacteria company, with
offices in San Francisco, is in Black
foot arranging for the representa-
tion Of his business here. Mr., Mounts s
firm has dressing for seeds which
contains bacteria, and the bacteria
are so fond of nitrates that they
gather them around the seed down
in the ground in punches and glo-
bules. Nitrates make the plants
grow fat and sappy, and for the
seeds this methods is the same as
living off the fat of the land. 1t is
used for wheat, oats, and such plants
as require a store of nitrates out
of the ground. Alfalfa, for instance,
gets it's nitrates from the air and
sun, and is often used for fertilizer
itself.
Mr.. Mount>is cooperating with M.
o. Monroe, county agent.

DUBOIS PROJECT ONCE AN INLAND SEA-.
PLAINS BROKE OUT WITH BOILS OF LAVA
Soil Hundred Feet Deep; Beets Four Feet Long,
Make the Dubois Project the Sugar
House of the World
A NEW GIANT PLoW IS NOW NEEDED

A long time ago there was no
snake river canyon on the line be-
tween the present Idaho and Oregon.
The mountain range may have had
one or more passes where the over
How ran, but southern Idaho was a
lake, varying in depth from about
$500 feet at Weiser to a shoreline
at the edge Of the bench between
Dubois and Spencer. 5,5
While there was a .Shoreline at
the elevation stated, amM there was
heavy washing of mud down the
streams from the north and north
west, most of the mud lodged as
soon as it entered the lake. 1t built
mud bars that rose nearly to the
surface of the water, and as the
stream spread out over the bars, it
showed the mud or silt to the edge
of the bars and kept building far
ther out into the lake. The lighter
silt that f1oated for long time,
gradually settled in the deep waters
and coated the lake bed with this
thin, light soil that was finer than
that which lodged promptly at the
edge of the bars. Settlers should
expect to find the coarser soil near
the. foothills, and the finer soil far
ter out in the plains. The mud
banks mentioned still stand in the
form of the BENCH" and when the
water level of the lake suddenly
sank, each stream that had been
building the mud bank, was left to
run down across the soft mushy
mass and it cut gulch thru, COM
Meeting with the canyon above. The
wash from this gulch spread out in
what biologists call an ''alluvial
FAM" and still later, when the water
level sank, again to lower levels, the
stream again cut it's way on down,
making mere creek bed thru the
fan itself. AS the volume of water
in the creek decreased, it narrowed /
down to the dry creeks of today or
to the creeks that flow part of the
season and then go dry. The water
sinks in the edge of the plain or
n the gulch while passing thru the
bench, or perhaps back in the can
yon.

lake bed lose themselves and are
named as follows:
Sixteen Lost Rivers
| Big Lost, Little Lost, Birch creek,
Warm creek, Warm springs, Lidy
Hot springs, Blue creek, Medicine

creek, Irving creek, Eddy creek,

Beaver creek, Three Mile, Eight Mile,
and Camas creek.
Other streams farther to the east
ward found their way into the
greater stream-Snake river, and
are now known as Sheridan river,
Ice House creek and Hotel creek,
The Rain of Mud
While the mud was being washed
into the lake, it settled alike over
the high and the low places, but the
action of the water kept taking it
down off of the hills and mountains
that were submerged, so they. are
covered with less soil than the level
is. Some of these isolated peaks are
covered all about their bases with
silt, and settlers drill wells in some
places fifty and other places a hun
dred feet or more to get thru the
silt into the rock where they secure
water.
A Lighter Mud Crop
Those parts of, the lake bed MAX
ing up the broad part of the valley
opposite American Falls, Blackfoot
and Idaho Falls, did NOT receive SO
much of the silt because no large
carried their load of mud
out in those directions, hence the
uneven surface was never covered
over with mud and is, still uneven.
The fine silt that settled from the
still waters far out from the rivers
currents, made the soil that now lies
two or three feet deep in that part
Of the valley.

The fast approaching month of
June will bring new ideas in we'd
ding gowns and wells. The war
weddings of the past few years
have had little need for the white
filmy costume and June has been
quite overlooked as the wedding
mcnth. In all the haste and tur-
MOL weddings were held in any
month, at any hour, on any cay
and it might be said in almost any
costume from the boomers of the
land army girl to the last years
party dress of the debutante.
But now things are getting back
to normal and the month of June is
coming back into favor as the we'd
ding month. The future brides are
choosing white stuffs for their we'd
ding gowns and long trains, fun
wells and all Of the marks of for
nal weddings are back in style.
This net frock was created for
tile very young bride. Flowers and
rufffes of taffeta trim the skirt and
give an air of lightness and full
ness to the ffounces. Green leaves
are appliqued on the petticoat and
white satin ones are appliqued on
the long veil. A wreath of orange
blossoms holds the veil in place and
