A new pipe organ has been installed
| In the Brick Presbyterian church. Fifth
avenue and Thirty-seventh street, New
York. ain gratitude for the ministry of
Henry Van Dyke" Doctor Van Dyke,
who was until recently American am
bassador to the Netherlands, was for
more than twenty years pastor of this
church.
The new organ, which is one of the
most complete and is today perhaps
the most modern church organ in the
United States. is four-manual instru-
ment of 120 stops and 5000 pipes, with
electric action. 1t Is really a combina-'
ton of six organs-great organ, swell
organ. choir organ. solo organ and
echo organ. The installation includes
also set of chimes. The echo organ
and chimes will be placed above the
ceiling at the rear of the church, over
the apse. The other parts of the com
binatlon, are inclosed, each in its own
swell box and all in one general swell
box, placed in the choir gallery over
the front entrance to the church.
Though the new organ is considerably
larger than the one which il replaces,
no architectural change is evident,
much of the instrument being con-
ceaIed behind the walls. T.. NJ. Skin
ner of Boston Is the builder Of the new
organ, which has been under construc-
ton since the summer Of 1917.
II Is understood that the organ cost
In the nelghborhood of $4,000. The
fund was contributed by members of
the congregation as tribute to their
old pastor under whose leadership the
of the Brick church was great |
ly enriched and beautified.

Cable the Peace Conference

Americas prestige is at stake In
the coming Victory Liberty Loan. The
eyes of the world are fixed upon us.
The nations of the world are going to
rate us on this last effort. 1t is right
that they should judge us, not by
what we do in the heat OF the strug-
gle, but by our condition after the
fight.
One OF the best guarantees of world
peace for years to come would be the
successful flotation of the Victory Lib
erty Loan for five or six billion dol
lars. Even a combination of powers
inclined to start another war would
hesitate in the face of such a display
OF tremendous national strength.
Every man who buys a Victory Lib
erty Bond next April, moreover, will
be adding to the determination with
which America speaks at the Peace
Conference. There are undoubtedly
going to be many moments during that
Conference when every whit of the
power of the United States will be
needed to shape into actualities those
ideals for which we entered the world
Struggle.
Let the cables carry into the Quai
dOrsay this message. ~
America has oversubscribed her
Fifth Liberty Loan by more than a
billion dollars
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1919-02-13

of this, shall we hesitate for a moment
to respond to the last call-the Victory
Liberty Loan-when we can do so by
pledging our credit, perhaps with some
little personal inconvenience, sacrifice
or small discomfort?
The blood of the young manhood of
America is not now required. That
was generously given before the armi-
stice was signed, and now we may give
thanks that no more will be taken.
The credit and good faith of our
country is at stake. We have won the
war, and the cost is small compared
with what has been won. The men of
the West with red blood in their veins
will not need to be appealed to, because
they will subscribe to this last call of
the Government as ungrudglngly as
they did in the past. There are others,
however, who may not be so keenly and
conscientiously alive to the duty OF re-
spending to the Nations call, and 1t is
to those that the women must direct
their most nntiring efforts.
This last call is truly a Victory Loan.
What greater pride can men and wo-
men experience than in contributing
to it? A Victory Bond will be worth
more than its price expressed In dol
lars. Every one will be IA badge testir
flying that the holder has helped his
country TO fulfill its pledge to those
who have been spared as well as those
WHO have made the supreme sacrifice.

Payettc Oregon slope, better known
by The old timers as Dead Ok flat,
lying between Payette and Weiser ON
the Oregon side of the Snake river,
has been transformed in the last few
yca-5 from a barren waste into a
ranehers paradise. The home of
countless numbers of jack rabbits
ard the bowling coyote have been
crowded further back into the hills.
Beautiful homes and productive fields
are dotted over tire entire body of
land consisting of some twenty thou
sand acres of tie most fertile land in
the Pacific northwest. This section is
becoming q center fer stock men.
Many bands of sheep and cattle are
being fed during the winter; every
pound Of hay has found a ready
market ct the ranch; many of the
rancher3 are feeding their own hay
and have found = more profitable
than to cell. Al the present time
there are about 1900 head Of cattle |
being fattened for the market besides
many punches of stock cattle and
dairy cows, and at least $4,000 head of
sheep. Hay alone is not the only
crop grown in this section Thousand
Of bushels of excellent grain is pro
diced, and many hogs are fattened
for the market. A trip through this
valley will convince any one of the
thrift in that community. All Of this
thrift and prosperity is the combin-
alton results Of the large electric
pumping plant which is owned by the
people, good soil and proper manage i
nient.

back. Entil they get back, they must
be fed and clothed and otherwise

shame not to do that. Sd people

FARMERS IN BEST
FINANCIAL SHAPE
OF Recent YEARS
Smooth Transition of Agricul-
ture to Peace Basis Predicted
by Federal Reserve Board

| American farmers are in better
| financial shape than they have been
for years, according to recent report
of the Federal Reserve Board at Wash
ington, which also predicts a smooth
transition of agriculture and industry
from war to peace basis. The
boards review of economic conditions
throughout the country is based on
detailed reports made to it by the
governors of the twelve federal re-
serve banks.
"The farmer is said to be in the
best financial shape for many years"
the review says. "In the South he is
able to hold his cotton for better
prices and is marketing his output
conservatively.
Excellent crop prospects are re-
ported from the wheat states of the
West and from California. On the
Pacific Coast the prospects for excel
lent crops are exceedingly bright"
Victory year" crops, according to
another government report, added
SIT 900, 100000 to our wealth. The
principal contributions were:
Corn, 5S2,S14,OO0 bushels, $685.

Our Hands Tied.

If the United States is to establish
itself on a foundation of rock, during
! the trying Gays of reconstruction, the
Government. loud not place 2 single
stumbling block in the way of the
progress o. Industries and the en-
/, ployment OF abor. Such policy is
based, not upon theory or high sound
| ing phrases, but upon good, sound,
common sense. Whether the exacting
problems of advocating a League Of
Nations idea is too occupying to lend
time to consider the necessary prob
lens at home, we shall determine.
/ They undoubtedly must take the bet
ter part of every twenty-four hours,
in order that the idealistic theories
upon which they are based SHALL not
fall by the wayside.
But If we eoncede that they take
twenty-three hours out of every day,
the remaining hour should at least be
devoted to the necessary exercising of
power, given during the war, to right
industrial conditions and place them
on their feet. We refer specifically to
the shipbuilding industry because i'll
affords concrete example. Senator
jones of Washington, has cited several
cases where these concerns are ready
and anxious to build ships and to ac
cept orders offered them by other
The shipyards are idle be-
cause they cannot get a permit from
the United States Shipping Board to
accep: tie orders. One of the graves, /
problems in the United States today
S the giving of employment to dis
,harged soldiers. If these yards coul,i
proceed with their work, thousands OF
rem could be given an opportunity to
.ceept good positions. In this con-
Senator Jones recently reao
pen the floor of the senate the fol
owing extract from letter which he
eceived from large shipbuilding
oncern in Washington:
"Our yards are now practically COM
leted and we are in a position to take /,
n contracts for three years work the ,
linutc we are authorized to construct
Oh foreign account, and, as you know,
ur yards alone will employ from s
lree to four thousand men, and as
c are going to give preference to
eturned soldiers, there seems to me
, be an additional legitimate reason
by the Shipbuilding Board shol
,t." I

From the editorials in the last issue
of the Fruitland Banner the editor OF
that little suitcase print shop is the
only newspaper man in Payette Coun-
ty. He takes side wipe at the New
Plymouth Sentinel, Payette Independ
ent and the Enterprise; also the pres
ent board Of county commissioners.
According to his brilliant idea of run
ming the county the most of us are
crooks, parasites and grafters, all be-
cause the Banner was not allowed to
continue as the official paper of Pay
cite county. The people of this coun-
ty are not paupers and looking for
something for nothing, but are willing
to pay reasonable price if the ser
vice is rendered The price at which
the Enterprise is to receive the county
printing is only about one third of
what the law provides shall be paid
for such service. The Enterprise hav-
ing the largest circulation of any
paper in the county our bid was con-
sidered the best, and we don't have
to put the wife's name at tie head of
the Enterprise as manager in order to
make the flinsy excuse for having
the legal right 20 receive pay for
cur service.
We never did see a calf that
wouldn't ball when you take the milk

Payette county is fast becoming a
diversified farming community. It
has only been but few years since
fruit was the principal crop, but at
the present time there are more cattle,
logs, sheep and other stock raised
than has even been known. The dairy
industry is also rapidly increasing
with splendid results. The poultry
business is no small part of the farm
crs steady income; the people have
began to realize that is is unwise to
depend on one industry. While Pay
cite county is the smallest county in
the state, we believe we are safe in
saying that at least 5000 head of
beef cattle are being fattened for the
market al the present time, ard the
farmers are the owners Of the bes;

Women and
Children Starve

NEW YORK, April 21.-Dispatch-
es from Constantinople received to-
day by the American committee for
Armenian and Syrian relief reported
that the problem presented by the re-
lease of thousands of Christian wo-
men and children from Turkish har-
ems in Asia Minor is constantly grow
ing. Many have been given shelter
by the relief workers, but there re-
mains large number wandering
about the country destitute, some of
them crazed from hunger and expo
sure.
Telegrams have been received in
Constantinople from Gregorian bish-
ops, pastors and leading business men
in various sections of Asia Minor APP
pealing for help for these women and
children. The Turks, the message
said, were casting adrift the Arme-
nian girls they had taken into their
homes and orphanages for the pur-
pose of bringing them up as Mos
lens, believing that by thus setting
them free they themselves might be
able to escape punishment.

u. S. Farm Tractors
Going to Europe

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Nearly
$100, 100000 worth of American
farm tractors to be shipped abroad
this year will:
Replace war caused man shortages
in France and England.
Free peasant laborers for more
schooling and socializing influences in
the Balkans and Turkey.
Save camel and butfalo-power in
Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and
other tropical lands where horses are
little used in agriculture,
Increase the crop production in
nearly all countries of the world.
Approximately 10000 American
tractors will be seld for export thiI
year, if last years export rate is main
tanned. More than 314,000 tractors
will be manufactured in the U. S. il
1919, according to estimate of th'
Agricultural Department.
Together with 100000 machine
put in use on American farms las
yetr, this will give one tractor TO

Americans Are
Stranded In London

LONDON, April TO-. (By Mall
Thousands of AVericans are stranded
in England, unable to get home, de-
spite important business and family
engagements in the United States,
owing to lack of transport. All the
shipping companies are booked up to
the middle of May, and reservations
are daily becoming more difficult to
obtain. The shortage of accommo-
dation is due to the large numbers of
American and Canadian soldiers and
their wives who are returning home,
according to shipping officials, a
