NO VACANT HOUSES
IN PAyETTE
No Vacant Houses.

There never was time in the his
tory of Payette when vacant houses
were as scarce as at the present. There
are several families now stopping at
hotels as they are unable to find a
place to rent, and quite a number of
new corners have purchased homes in
order to find a place to get in. If
we are short of houses at this time OF
the year, what viii it be next fall?

SILo EXCURSION. Within tn,
next two or three weeks a silo excurs
ion win be held in connection with
state specialists on beef feeding anC
dairying in order to compare the mer-
its of the silos we now have in Pay
cite county and find out just what
their owners think of them TIE date
of this excursion will be announced

GREENING POTATOES. Ranch
ers will get better results this season
by placing their seed potatoes in a
light room to "green" for two or
three weeks prior to planting This
exposure to light keeps the sprous
short and stubby and makes the future
crop more resistant to disease. Simply
spread them thinly in light room and
compare this procedure with potatoes
planted in the ordinary way.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

l
Presbyterians are no better than
any other "crops" of the Christian
--rmy unless they behave better. They
re net SO good if they fail to meas
ure up to the highest standards OF
Christian activity. But their history
.oes not show them any where at the
aiI end of spiritual progress. We
will not allow the good record to be
dishonored in our generation. Present
activities with us are in line with all
who hold Christ as Savior of the
world. But we have a particular pro-
gram by which we undertake to do
our part in establishing the Justice
that is so much wanted at the present
iuncture of national relations. Next
Sunday is to be fellowship day of the
entire denomination. Some churches
will use it in group visitation and
conference upon the things for which
we must unite. We here have ar
ranged to enter into committee of
the whole" to accomplish the same
end. After the regular service we
will tarry in the church, eat luncheon
together, and then take a survey Of
our field, our forces, and our morale.
1t is earnestly desired that everyone
whose Christian activity is with our
denomination be present through the
entire meeting. The aim of the day is!
10 set before ourselves work for the
world that will warrant the outlay of
big sums of money, as well as of all
our personal influences.
The regular service at eleven o'clock
will be for preparation to this auto
view of our opportunities. This is moi
day of small things and the task of
making the world what our Lord in
tends us to make it demands the best
there is in US. People of other 'divis-
icns" than the Rainbow" need not
feel excluded. We have a message
for all. You may have a message for
us. Come and let us be a League of
Nation savers.
Moreover the adption of the Bible
for this purpose would do away with

the case now stands, it is impossible

than a minority of teachers. Books |
that are recommended by one commit

too difficult, or too juvenile, or as not
being literature at all. No such OBJ |
lection would ever be made agains,

tics and devotees, agnostics and evan

for me to stop here. Nothing that ]

indeed to be able to extend the reach

ample, take Luke's description of the
storm and shipwreck that carried Paul

NEVER AGAIN

1t was not altogether unnatural that
the members of the American Legion
should have seemed disposed to neg
lect universal military training as part
of their program and purpose.
The most recent recollections of ar
my men will hardly nourish in them an
abiding affection for army life. Their
vivid retrospects will not be pleasant
ones. They will feel like men who have
lately recovered from lingering dis
ease.
And it is not so much the thought
of dangers faced and hardships under
gone that paints sombre color on the
picture. 1t is the deadly monotony of
the daily routine, and the more trivial
grievances, such as unpalatable meals,
ill-cooked food, bad sleeping quarters,
and the like.
And one thing even worse The mis-
cry of being everlastingly "bossed,"
without the divinely sweet alienation
of being able to claw back" which ev-
cry laborer enjoys, who does not mind
being fired-and few of US do. Most
Of the army men were, necessarily, pri-
Yates or non-coms; and a man who has
gone through continuous hectoring-
very often from junior officers whose
mental equipment was, all things in
clut I'd, inferior to his own, has little
enthusiasm for making military train
ing universal.
Now that the flag waving and band
playing is over, we are getting cold
facts, instead of sentiment and hys-
terra; and we know that conditions in
the army were bad. Our private sol
diers do not whine, but when we ask
them for the plain truth we can get
it. The food was often unhealthy,
wen IN training camps. Hospital ia
cilities were, in many cases, far from
adequate. Many officers were only
half-trained, and, like most incompe-
tent men in authority, inclined to sub
stitute petty Tyranny for the leader
ship which real efficiency guarantees.
So the members of the Legion do not
wax Jealous over universal military
training.
But they overlook vital fact. All
the evils of which they complain were
caused by lack of that very prepara-
ton which they now discountenance.
If we had been ready, officers would
have been fully trained, rations would
have been efficiently handled and dis
tributed, hospital facilities would have
been ample. Considering our unreadi-
ness, we did remarkably well-though
badly. It is surprising that our Off

THE NAUGHTY
MOVIE SHOWS

As most towns have their moving
picture shows, there is logic in the
conjecture that any movie problem is
the problem of this town also If the
class of exhibits dispensed in any To-
cality calls down public condemnation
in any town, it is fair to assume that
plant minded citizens in other towns
are being perverted by the same brand
of naughty entertainment.
We need not wait, therefore, until
crusade starts in our midst We may,
for aught we know, be tasting poison
unawares. No doubt in many places
there is indignation among the su-
premely righteous at the reels which
present grand larceny, murder
and sudden death among their multi
colored programs. In many places the
inhabitants are forbidden to see these
things, for fear that the instinct of
imitation should lead them to murder
and to rob.
Unfortunately, those who are thus
shielded from contamination may draw
the inference that the only thing they
must not do are the things they never
see. Whatever they are not. forbid
den by public ordinances to witness,
they may freely initiate And heaven
knows that no code of ordinances can
hide all evil from their eyes.
The principle which relies absolute
ly on censorship is a bad one. 1t re-
lieves the individual of responsibility
He feels that if legislation can not
make him good by clockwork, then it
is not his fault if he is bad. Legis-
lation, if we trust the differences, has
undertaken to keep him pure-by
clockwork; has guaranteed him kind
of clockwork virtue. What will become
of him when the wheels of restrictive
legislation cease turning-when the
sumptuary clock runs down?
Prohibition seemed unavoidable. We
apparently had decided not to stay So
Der and to keep control of a certain
appetite. That particular appetite,
therefore, is controlled for us by ma
chinery. But if we depend absolutely
upon machinery, and refuse to rely
upon our strength of will, our sense of
morality, our self-respect, then these
uplifting forces will be atrophied by
disuse, and die.
There is murder in Hamlet, in Mac
beth, in the books of Genesis and Exc
dus-in nearly every one of the mar
rative books Of the Bible. The por-
trayal of these happenings need be
no more harmful on the screen than
in the pulpit.

While we would not like to be held
responsible for all that is said at
sewing circles and ladies' tea parties,
neither would we be willing to answer
for all the conversation at banks, gro
ceries and other places where men
congregate. What post-mortem exam
nation of dead characters! What
sumptuous dishes of tittle-tattle are
concocted here! What fires of martyr
dom are here kindled about innocent
victims! How quickly and beautiful
the heads fall beneath the ak of the
self-appointed executioners. Talk of
gossip az something light and airy, too
feathery almost to grasp! It is a ser
pent, with it's head held high in mar
ket places and public meetings, it's
folds coiling on every side.

Balance of Power.

The trouble about England's six
votes To Americas one really started
in the British colonies. The English
do not worry much about representa-
ton at the league council. They care
very little, when the truth is told, a.
bout the league at all.
It was a South African who made
the stipulation. The British colonies
are not suspicious of America so much
as they are of England. And they do
not mean to be bound by Englands vote
any more than they do by Americas
They want votes of their own. 1t is
even possible that they will be found
voting with America instead of with
England at the council.
England is in a fair way to become
Bolshevik. And in the colonies they
have no intention of being bound by a
bolshevik vote.

to provide for the employment of

Where The Money Went

The American Cooperative Journal
is holding meetings to discuss agri-
cultural matters. The subject billed
for the first meeting is collective
Bargaining for Farmers" And the
news has drawn loud and angry out
cry from the protagonists of the class
called the Consumers" They COM
plain that they will be crushed between
organized labor on the one side, and a
farmers trust on the other. The far
mer, they lament, will be the most
dangerous kind of profteer.
Well, keep your shirt on. Let US
look into this thing.
A Michigan farmer lately shipped
to the city two bushels of early apples
which sold for $1.10 per bushel-total
$3.50 for the load. His expenses were:
baskets, 40 cents; labor and spraying,
20 cents; freight and Grating, Sc cents,
commission % cents. His profit was
80 cents. The retail price we can, of
course, only guess, as he was through
when he reached the commission agent.
But it is we'll that the city where he
sold his apples was nearby, so that
the freight and Grating could be kept
down to 56 cents. His original invest
ment is, Of course, neglected.
We can hardly blame the farmers
for wanting to federate.

Do Your Duty.

Don't be afraid to do your duty
because some one ridicules or oppos-
es you. A man who has opinions of
his own and the courage to advocate
them will be sure to have opposition
in this world because he runs con-
trary to other peoples opinions; but
just keep right ahead if your cause is
right and your conscience clear. Don't
bother yourself about what people
say; life 81 too short for that. Some
will abuse you thru envy, others for
the want of principle, and some be-
cause they honestly differ from you;
but if you keep right on openly, man.
fully and intelligently and with proper
dignity and character, honesty of pur-
pose and self-respect, those who differ
from you will respect your opinions.

There is notable decrease in crimes
of certain kinds. Disorderly hoodlums
grow scarcer; wife-beaters diminish;
cases of cruelty to children are fewer.
But the need of caution is not gone.
Prohibition is a national confession
that we cannot be trusted to control

wisdom of prohibition. But we have
