NEWS FROM STATE CAPITAL.

Boise, Idaho, April 4.-Governor
Davis has named Frank W. Brown, OF
Idaho Falls, as his private secretary
to succeed. J. X. White. Mr.. White
has beer named commissioner OF pub
lie welfare. Mr.. Brown is a news
paper man who came to Idaho about
two years ago from Nebraska. He
was an active democrat In Nebraska,
but the policies Of the national adj
ministration caused a revulsion on
his part. Mr.. Brown was connected
with the Idaho Falls Register for a
time and during the recent session
OF the legislature served a number OF
newspapers as a representative OF the
Idaho Press Bureau. Governor Davis
says he made a careful inquiry and
felt he was fortunate in securing Mr..
Browns services.
The development spirit is abroad
in Idaho to a superlative degree.
| The people OF this state, according to
authentic reports from every section,
realize that u%pbuilding has been neg
lected and appreciate the menace OF
further non-action.
The only criticism OF the legisla-
tive development program is that the
body did not go further, especially
with road appropriation. IF they
were afraid Of Democratic opposition,
one leading democrat said publicly
the other day, their fears are I'M
founded. The vote in the legisla-
ture shows the Democratic members
favored a liberal construction policy.
The Democrats wanted to appro-
pirate more funds, through the only
avenue open, bond issues, but the
constitutional limit had been reached
Republicans and Democrats alike in
, the legislature wanted to authorize
more bonds for highway building, blu
It could not enobe done"
The legislature, facing the consti-
tutional limit, adopted a constitution
al amendment to be voted on in Nov
ember, 1920, authorizing $2,OOO,OOt
J for road work in 1929.
The Legislative appropriation JUS
= made for roads is 81 800, 900 in round
= numbers. This for the whole state
, Of Idaho for two years. The com
= ~parative smallness OF the sum, in view
r of the requirements. is revealed in the
. light of the fact that some districts
: have voted almost as much bonds Il
= he applied in one year. An example
I Is the Twin Falls highway district
. which voted 81, $50, 900 by almost
D.. unanimous vote. The same sentiment
I for public improvements permeate'
' the entire state.

into California the Cascade mountains
form a barrier that protects the coun-
try lying to the east OF this range with
the exception OF the great broad gap
formed by the Columbia river and
that wide valley through which II
flows. California is protected in the
interior by the Sierra Nevada range.
Arguments presented to the naval
committee show that a large enemy
force occupying the Columbia river
valley would find abundance OF food
supplies. countless tons of fish, bill
lions of feet of timber, hundreds Of
thousands of bushels of wheat. cattle,
sheep, all waiting a forceful seizure.
The entire Northwest might be opened

The committee Travelled Over The
Columbia highway, along the Column
bia river, down to Astoria, the oldest
city on the Pacific Coast, founded by
John Jacob Astor. Astoria is seven
miles from the Columbia river bar

water at low tide. Seven miles s

HOW CAN PEOPLE KNOW THE
TRUTH.

Through cunningly prepared props-
9anda the people are being urged 70
get behind the League OF Nations III
an eudeavor 10 force the senate 10
ratify any document that may come
from Paris.
The friends of the League OF Ma

and control OF the cables leaoinB 10
Europe and the peace conference ~
ia impossible to get anything through
he merlcan-French censors mat re-
f1ects American sentiment In an I'M
preiudiced manner. IL Is equally I'M
nossible TO get anything to America
from the peace conference that tne
American delegates do not wish 10
have come. Through control OF the
cables the sources OF information are
controlled. How are the people OF the
limited States TO form intelligent
opinions when their information Is
limited or controlled? Why should
there be an attempt to mold opinion
in favor OF a plan the details OF
which are not fully known.
President Wilson favors the league
plan which he brought over. Senate
Chamberlain, Henry Watterson, sen
ator Thomas, former Senator Bailey,
senator Reed-all Democrats, ana
thousands more like them, are violent
ly opposed TO the plan submitted.
Senator Lodge, Senator Borah, Sena-
tor Sherman, Senator Cummins, sen,
ator Knox, all Republicans, n rated
among the leading statesmen OF the
nation, are opposed TO the plan
violently opposed.
lis President Wilson wiser l. a all
of these2 Because of his exalted po-
sition, and through the appointlVe
power he holds, the president IL aDle
10 silence criticism In his own party.
and thus to a great degree compel
il to support his views. But the
question is not a party question, ano
should not become such.
The League plan Is only a treaty
between a part of the nations or th'
world. AS submitted II Is not for I
year, ten years or a thousand, Du
forever. There is no way provided
to withdraw from II. By its terml
the United States must SURRENDER
much that IL has held dear, and b'
prepared to help police Europe or g
to war, although 1t Will have but on

Ia this wise?
Unless all signs fail, there Will 800
be a movement inaugurated to OF
ganize in every county In the natio

There IL no need for hurry. 1t

months. At certain seasons of the year
these same sections of the country re-
ceive from the northern growers con
siderable quantities Of cabbage This
year there is u prospect that the north
ern supply of cabbage viii be extreme
ly short, and United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture specialists advise
that the people Of the South plant
plenty Of crops TO provide them with
a supply Of green's for winter use.
Turnips are the old standby. but
people get tired of eating turnip greens
continually and change is desirable.
Perhaps the best alternate crop is
spinach. This requires rich, deep.
oamy, wellprepared soil with plenty
of fertilizer to insure a quick and ten
der growth If planted late in Septem-
Der or early in October, the spinach
will be ready for cutting in November
and early December, If planted in
late October and November, it will
go through the winter and be ready
for use in the early springtime.

rapid growth. Where il is to be car
ried over winter in the ground, very
little fertilizer should be applied in
the fall, but a liberal top.dressing
should be made abou. the time that the
spinach starts growing in midwinter.
This may be Sown broadcast over the
plants and worked in with a hoe or
some similar tool. The usual method
of growing spinach is to plow the land
in beds about 6 to : feet in width then
drill the rows Of spinach or . inches
apart lcngthWisc Of these beds. This
arrangement provides drainage, the
burrows between the beds carrying off
the surplus water during the rainy
season

rietes. make excellent greens during

ii seeded in October will be ready for
use from February to April. Like spin
ach, it wants plenty of plant food and
IL is best to apply a portion of the
fertilizer at the time the land is being
prepared, and then add a dedressing
along in January when the weather be
comes warm. Kale is very much like
cabbage seed and may be drilled in
rows "a to 80 inches apart and la.er
thinned to 6 to inches between the
plants in the row. Kale does not have
cutie so delicate a flavor as spinach,
but provides variety and makes an
abundance of green's that can be used
in the same manner as cabbage.
Now is the time to get a winter
garden started and if the work is
properly attended to am abundance Of
green food will be provided, thus leav

duce anything during the winter
