Southern idaho. west OF Pocatello,
went on Pacific time New Years day.
Pacific time may be popular with the
railroad administration in Washing

While all dutifully turned their clocks
back an hour, they have not made 4
corresponding change in their habits

Superintendent Wallis Was among
the first TO realize what the change
meant Darkness not only came In
what appeared to be the middle Of the
afternoon, but the children also came

Pacific time, and some on their own
time There was no uniformity. un-

In order to ascertain sentiment and
to secure uniformity, Mr., Wallis cir
euiated paper amonv business men,
bearing the following heading:

1918. Shall we observe the following
hours opening at Z. lunch at IL, clos

This was circulated among the bust-
ness houses, and with one exception,
all signed yes. One OF the signerS
] favored compromise between tho
two times, by opening ut 1880, and
closing at $50, new time. The senti-
ment was so nearly unanimous as to
secure the ready adoption Sf the hours
suggested. The schools have also

PESTS CATGE BIG Less
TO FARMERS OF C0UN ~.
More Than Third of a Million Dollars
is Estimate of Farm Bureau. Based
on Reports Received From o2a
Farmers.

Should anyone rob farmer of the
county of $400, it would create a SEN
sation, and the sheriff's office would
put forth great efforts to apprehend
the criminals. Should fifty farmers
be robbed, the news would be sent
broadcast throughout the state and
adjoining states and a dragnet search
for the criminals would be instituted.
A bigger robbery than that has ia :
ken place, robbery far in excess Of
the total amount collected = as taxes
from all the people of the county, anu
it has created no sensation. 1t has
been taken as a matter of course, aud
has been going on in a greater or les
ser degree, for a number of years.
The robbery has not been committed
by men, but by rodent pests-rabbits
and squirrels.
The losses caused by these pests
is astonishing. AS a part of the CAM
paign for pest determination that has
been undertaken by the Power County
Farm Bureau, cards were sent out by
the county agent to ascertain the ex-
tent of the losses sustained. Five
hundred and twenty-five of these
cards, out of more than 1000 sent out
have been returned. A third of the
cards returned make no mention OF
losses sustained. The other cards es-
innate losses totalling 113,375 bush
es, based on average yields. At pre-
vailing prices. this means loss .o
approximately $225,000 sustained by
about $50 farmers, or an average o.
about $643 for the farmers reporting
The losses reported have beer
checked by conservative men from the
different sections of the county, NJ
it is not believed the reports are over
drawn. County Agent Lampson esti
mates, from inquiry and observation
that not more than two-thirds of th'
losses have been reported. Accord
ing to his estimate the loss last yea
reached a total of 1851 900.
The most sanguine political reform
er who would propose to save the peo
pie of the county half as much, by tn
adoption of any reform, would b.
laughed at yet if the people believes
that a tenth of this amount could b.
saved, they would be unit for tn
adoption of any plan that gave sucl
promise. But they have overlooke'
.n,e doing of a thing that holds NOR
Prospect than any political promise
Nihat such extensive losses hav
been shown is a matter of encourage
ment to Cont Agent Lampson. II
believes that it will result in the or
ganization OF the farmers to fight tn
pests to the point of determination
which can be done if each farmer vii
do his part, but in no other way. Th
government is ready to co-operat
with the farmers by clearing the va
cant lands adjoining the cultivate
areas,
County Agent Lampson is muc
Ileased at the cooperation he is re
ceiving from the county commission
ers, who have placed an order fo
three thousand ounces of strychnin
Nat cost of about $500, which will B
tsold to the farmers at half cost. I'M
is an appropriation of $2,6OO OF u
eountys funds to assist the farmer
in their fight With such loyal SUI
port, and with the active cooperate
of the government, the pests ought
he cleaned out and kept out.

Sixteen Meetings to BE Held During
the Next Two Weeks.

Sixteen farmers meetings begin
ming January 6 and enung January II
have been scheduled by County Agent
Lampson, when he expects to round
up his pest poison squads for the Win
ter's work. In letter mailed out to
the various communities he calls at
tention to the cooperation of the
board of county commissioners in the
campaign and urges the farmers to do
their part His letter is as follows:
To the farmers of Power county
Five hundred twenty-five farmers in
Power county sent in their orders for
strychnine. These orders amounted
to nearly 1900 ounces. The esti-.
mated losses "a considerable number
did not give estimate of losses) were
11S,S75 bushels of wheat, or over
1926, 100000.
At meeting of the county commits
sioners December 30th, an ordinance
was passed to purchase 5000 ounces
of strychnine for squirrel poisoning.
and to let the farmers have II at half

should secure the government help
mentioned In Mr.. Crouoh,s letter and
also the state help which will come
through the same office II appropria-
tions from the state are made se-

asked to pass, requiring the county
commissioners to poison squirrels on
all decided land where poisoning is
not being done and to charge the cost
TO that land.
This is very good beginning, and

lue JuUlOT fteu 0TOSS school cOlHlIt-

to the teachers of the county, seeking
their cooperation:
American Falls. Idaho,
January 8, 1919.
Public School Teachers, Power
County, Idaho:
Now that the armistice has been
signed there seems to be feeling that
there is not place for the Junior
Red Cross in the school. This is a
mistaken idea. In the rehabilitation
of the war-devastated portions of
Europe there is every demand for Rel
Cross service.
The Junior Red Cross has been one
of the most salutary agencies that has
ever entered school work. Good les
sons in school are the best evidences
of the Red Cross spirit. When the
work of the Junior Red Cross ceases
we must contrive in some manner to
provide the incentives for helpfulness
which it gave.
Your first task is to see to it that
your school is enrolled as Junior
Red Cross auxiliary. Have the school
raise a fund equivalent to 25c per pu-
ril If this money cannot be raised, a
pledge of service will be accepted in
its place. We shall use every endea-
vor to have the Power County mem
oership of 100 per cent.
You will send the amount of money
raised for the Junior Red Cross to the
county treasurer, Mrs. Rosa c. Brown
American Falls, keep the school funds
! in one central fund, with each school
receiving its proper accrediting, and
all bills to be ordered paid from this
| fund by voucher at the regular meet
! ihgs Of the committee.
While each school has the right tc
draw on the fund for an amount equa
TO the sum it has paid in, minus the
er cent the committee sets for its
overhead expenses, it has that righ
only if it can make use of the money
for legitimate Red Cross purposes
which are o. KID by the committee
This year the allotments of worl
will be made through the chapter. W.
are in great need of feathers for thu
allotment of 80 pillows. The Rock
land school has done more than it
share in furnishing feathers but oni.
Two other schools in the country hav
contributed. The allotment of bed
side tables, handkerchiefs, etc, whicl
have been made has been assured b.
The schools maintaining a domesh
.science and the manual training de
partment. -
AS soon as allotments are receive
YOU will be advised. However, en-
courage any work helpful to the com
munity. Clean yards, neater road
sides. rubbish heaps done away witt
taterpillers destroyed, neat dress
good manners, courtesy-all thes
things may be the results of Re
