Back From State
Cattle Convention

L. e. Dillingham;, editor Of the
Mackay Miner, is back from the state
convention of cattlemen in Arizona.
He says the stockmen of the west
ern states are repudiating the Ken
drick kKenyon bill that contemplates
putting everything in the packing
industry under the control of bu-
reaus. They take the view that if
control of the livestock shipments
and the packing and selling have to
be under government control and ac-
tion is as slow and inefficient as the
railroad service has been under gov
ernment control, they would never
get fat steer thru the red tape in
time to get him to the consumers in
this life. They have decided that
private enterprise is the things that
gets action, that gets service and that
meets the demands Of the producer
and consumer, and they are against
the bureau system. They declare it
was the bureau system that brought
Germany to ruin by making every
ma a. mere cog in wheel, and des-
troyed Individuality and made auto
Gratis necessary to govern the auto
nations. ,,,.-.,
Mr.. Dillingham; is secretary of a
stockman's association covering "a
dozen western states, and he is study
ing conditions of the whole western
country as it affects the stock in
terests.

American Legion
Backs Boy Scouts
Boys Appreciate Praise of Ex-Service
Men Perhaps More Than That of
Wilson, Pershing and Others
PROVED THEMSELVES LOYAL

The war work of the Boy Scouts
has been commended by President
Wilson, General Pershing, Mr.. Nc
Adoo and a number of others, but
the praise they appreciate the most
is perhaps the praise of the soldiers
and sailors who served in the ranks
and for whose sakes the boys ex-
pended their efforts.
1t was with a knowledge of this
fact, and with the desire to assist
in recruiting additional SEQ. masters
that Post 81, Philadelphia, OF the
American Legion, went to the Penn
sylyania State Convention in Harris
burg on. October 4th with the desire
to have the Boy Scouts work Off
cially endorsed by the great soldiers
and sailors organization.
The following resolution, intro
duced by Post 81, was formally
adopted by the State Cantonment:
Whereas, the Boy. Scouts of
America have deserved the commen-
dation of the country at large for
their activities in the numerous
Loan drives, War Chest campaigns,
and all patriotic activities, without
exception, and have proved them
selves to be 100 per cent Americans
by every test, be it therefore,
Resolved, That the first Penn
sylvania State Cantonment Of the
American Legion extend the unani-
nous appreciation of it's organiza-
tion Of the Boy Scouts of America,
and pledge to them its most hearty
cooperation in any way whatso-

Beet Growers
j. on War Path
Shipment Of Beets Away From
BlackfOot Factory Considered
an Injustice
FACTORY MAY CLOSE SOON

It has been brought to the atten-
tion Of Blackfoot business men by
beet growers of the county that the
Utah-Idaho sugar factory is not
grinding all of the beets raised in
its territory, but shipping them to
other factories. 1t has been said
that with a crop of 10000 tons in
this territory the Blackfoot factory
will only handle half of that tom
mage.
the beet growers have an asso-
citation within the farm bureau which
over this manipulation of the crop,
is actively expressing indignation
and they have brought the matter
to the attention of the Blackfoot
commercial club. 1t is an undis-
puted fact that even ordinarily there
are almost enough beets raised in
this territory to occupy the facilities
of two such factories as the one that
is here, and that beets are shipped
out each year in large quantities.
If it is true that the factory will
stop at half the crop this year it
is quite possible it will close down
in about two weeks.

Shelrnan Roars
About \ Roads
A Little Thought Before Voting on
Road Bond Question has Already
Meant Thousands Of Dollars
NO WORK AND WORRY NOW

l.. Shelman, the man who raises
hogs, horses and good roads notions,
drove in from his farm east of
Springfield Monday morning and
gave us a few whoops about roads
that constitute the story of the life
Of early settlers down that way. 1t
ran like this:
"Just after we settled down there
we all came to BlackfoOt one day to
buy some goods. I say one day but
that doesn't quite cover it. We
started at the break of day and we
got in here after night, and we had
plugged right along all day with a
white-top rig, doing two days work
as the striking miners figure things
now. We walked, we. pushed, we
ran ahead and we whipped; some
times we were in mud ankle-deep
and sometimes it was belly-deep to
the horses, but we got here and were
glad. We carried our blankets and
lunch along with u.s."
"Well, we spent one day in town
and on the third day we started
home at the break of day and we put
in two days and half that day. We
pushed and lugged and pried up and
dug out, and got home late in the
evening, think it was between eight
and nine o'clock. We were wet and
cold and cheerless, and had to rustic
wood and water and rig up our own
cafeteria in the tent"
Conditions kept on improving till
we got so we could crank our tin
lizzy and come to town in an hour
and half before we started on the
bond roads. Now the bond roads
are partly done and we just get into
the car and "step on her" and stear,
and we are in town in 45 minutes.
figure that l did something worth
a thousand dollars last spring when
made the cross in the little ring on
the road bond ballot saying: Bond
yes."
There was a while last March
when Mr.. Shelman was thinking seri-
ously of following the wisdom of a
fellow down there who was predict
ing that the county officers would
waste eighty per cent of the bond
money in graft, and advised every
body to vote no. But Shelman sat
down and did some thinking for him
self before he went to the polls, and
he remembered about those ten hon
est people in SodOm.

Touching Tribute to
, Theodore Roosevelt
Boy Scouts of America Honor Mem.
ory Of Departed American Al
ways SO Loyal and Faithful
RESOLUTIONS WE'RE ADOPTED

One of the most beautiful tributes
paid to the memory of that great
American, Theodore Roosevelt, was
the resolution adopted by Boy Scouts
of America in annual meeting this
year. The resolutions:
"He was found faithful over few
things, and he was made ruler over
many; he cut his own trail clean and
straight and millions followed him
toward the light.
"He was frail; he made himself
a lion of courage. He was dreamer;
he became one of the greatest doers
of all time.
men put their trust in him;
women found champion in him;
kings stood in awe of him, but
children made him their playmate.
"He broke a nations slumber with
his cry, and it rose up. He touched
the eyes of the blind with flame
and gave them vision; souls became
swords thru him; swords became
servants of God.
"He was loyal to his country, and
he expected loyalty; he loved many
lands, but he loved his own land
best. N~'~,
"He was terrible In batcle, but
tender to the weak; joyous and tire
less, being free from self pity; clean
with cleanness that cleansed the
air like gale.
"His courtesy knew no wealth or
class; his friendship no creed or
color or race. His courage stood
every onslaught of savage beast and
ruthless man, Of lonliness, of victory,
of defeat. His mind was eager, his
heart was true, his body and spirit
defiant Of obstacles, ready to meet
what might come.
"He fought injustice and tyranny;
bore sorrow gallantly; loved all ma
ture, bleak places and hardy COM
panions hazardous adventure and
the zest of battle. Wherever he went
he carried his own pack, and in the
innermost parts of the earth he kept
his conscience for his guide"
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-11-21

The prosecution was based on two
main premises: that Koury, being
soldier trained in bayonet drill,
would not have been struck down
If he had had his own shovel in play !;
and that two blows were delivered
upon his two temples. Physicians
who testified as to the condition of
Koury's skull were Drs. Patrie,
Mitchell, Simmons, of Blackfoot, and
DR.. Cline. of Idaho Falls, for the
prosecution, and DR.. Beck for the
defense. According to the evidence
it was not conclusively shown that
more than one blow was struck, altho
DR.. Beck was the only physician who
declared positively that but one blow
was struck. This testimony went
into the technicalities of anatomy
and took up a considerable part of
Saturday afternoon and Monday.
In the opinion of several attorneys
verdict of involuntary man
slaughter may result in a sentence of
from six months to five years in the
state pentitentiary. The courts an
nouncement of sentence possibly may
not be made until the end of the
term.
Since his arrest on July Z, the day
upon which he killed Koury, Grover
has been confined in the county Jail.
He was bound over to the district
court under a charge of murder in
the first degree, and denied bail.
Each time he appeared in court
he was accompanied by his wife, and
sometimes by his children. During
the days of his trial last week and
this week Mrs. Grover was constant
ly by his side in the court room.
Motion for appeal of the case to
the supreme court or for new trial
will not be made until sentence has
been pronounced upon the defend
ant.

evening.
The case, which was prosecuted by
the county attorney, R. w. Adair
and Harry Holden, of Idaho Falls
opened last Thursday morning. Fol
lowing the jury's verdict the Court
allowed Grover his freedom on $2,.
900 bonds, which were signed by
David Barnard and Marion Merkley.
Attorney ]. H. Andersen for the
defendant gave notice that the case
would be appealed to the state su-
preme court. Judge Cowan will pro.
nounce sentence later in the term.
During every day of this trial the
court room was packed with specta-
tors, and on Monday and Tuesday as
it drew to close many could not
even get to the doorways.
Grover himself was his own prin-
cipal witness. He told his story of
the killing in straightforward way,
alleging that Joseph Koury had been
the aggressor and had struck at him
three times before he struck back.
He said that his only blow was aimed
at KOury's arm which was raised in
the act of delivering another blow
with his shovel; that Koury lodged
and caught the heavy shovel blade
squarely upon the right temple.
Grover said that he was working
at the headgate early in the morning
of July Z, preparing to take his turn
at the water, and that Koury came
out to him and accused him of taking
the water the night before, out of his
turn. Grover was standing in the
water with his back to the main
ditch, according t, his statements,
and when Koury thrust his shovel
into the headgate to change the flow
of water he took him by the arm and
pulled him back. 1t was then, he
said, that Koury began swinging his
shovel at him. He showed an abra-
sion on his own shovel handle where
he claimed to have received the first

IDAHO FARMERS
PRODUCE WEALTH
Crop Summary Shows
Yield Of Grain, Po-
tatoes and Fruit
NOVEMBER REPORT

The Idaho commercial potato crop
Will amount to $3.50 cars, according
to the November report released by
julius H. Jacobson, in charge of the
idaho crop reporting service at
Boise. While freezes in late October
did some damage, it was small, as
fully 95 per cent TO the crop was in
storage. Reports show that Ga per
cent Of the total commercial crop will
be grade No. 1, "a per cent No. 2
and IL per cent culls. The percent
age OF culls is higher this year, due
to drought and irregular irrigation
water supply in some districts. Quail
ity Of the tubers is placed at 80 per
cent, whereas last year it was SO per
cent.
The Caldwell district will probably
ship twice the number of cars as last
season, or 1000 to 100 cars, due to
increased acreage. The Twin Falls
district (Filer to Kimberly is esti-
mated to ship 800 to 975 cars, COM
pared with 1145 cars last season.
The Burley-Rupert district promises
to ship as much as last year, or 929
cars. Considerable acreage was con-
tracted year ago around Burley,
which stimulated the seeding of
large acreage this year. 1t is esti-
mated that 1850 cars will move out
of the Blackfoot-Shelley district,
compared with 1888 cars last season.
Approximately $50 cars are credited
to Shelley this year and 500 cars to
Blackfoot. Idaho Falls production is
now placed at 1926 to 1900 cars, as
against 2193 cars last year.
Potatoes in Country
The prospects for the United
States are somewhat better than last
month. due to Improvement in the
Colorado crop. Seventeen of the i'm
portant nothern states growing late
commercial potatoes indicate sur
plus of 131.804 cars, as compared
with 152,248 cars in 1918.
Potatoes are not moving to market
as rapidly as last year. For instance,
up to November IL, Idaho shipped
2603 cars, against 1859 to the same
date last season, while for the United
States 95, ,404 cars had rolled Novem-

feature offering at the Columbia the ater for the four days starting today will be one of the most satisfying bits Of photoplay that you have seen.
 This film enjoyed run of eight consecutive weeks at Quinns Rialto theater in Los Angeles and broke all house records at that popular play house. In other cities, it has attracted the most liberal patronage.
 There is that something about this film that is hard to put into words. You'll laugh at the childish pranks of Little Ben Alexander-and you'll cry 8 little more as the story is unfolded on the screen, depicting the acts of self sacrifice occasioned by a greater love.
 The story told in the film is one of unusual whOlesomeness, vet replete with all the emotions of mankind. There is nothing that is the least dis tasteful to the most eXacting, but it IS a picture that can be enjoyed by all.
 Pictorially, the production is mas terpiece of artistic beauty and the re- alism is accentuated by a vivid storm scene during a big dramatic climax
 Among the better known performers to be seen in this production are Ben Alexander. George Nichols, Lloyd Hughes. Winter Hall, Helen Jerome Eddy, Pauline Curley.
 Augnenting numbers to the feature are q Mutt and Jeff cartoon reel and a Sunshine comedy.

 Tt is one film in a thousand" to quote Q Los Angeles critic, a play that pulls the heart strings and makes for better men and women. It is a whole some story builded, more or less di- rectly, around the greatest of all child performers, Ben Alexander All the emotions of humans are depicted; the acting is unusually brilliant; the pho tography is splendid and the settings are pretentious yet perfect in appoint ment.

But they will be gladly welcomed if they ever, return and 1t is expected that they will, as is proven by the many inquiries at the box office daily regard. ing their future movements, but their departure is made necessary by pre- vious contracts, calling them back to San Francisco from whence they came Mir. Lawrence declared the sother day that at the conclusion of the San Fran cisco engagement he is going to make a flying trip to New York, where he will arrange for the latest and best plays on the eastern market, and when his company is next seen in Phoenix he will be prepared to offer his patrons the best menu the theatrical table affords.
 For the tenth and last week the Lawrences will present a comedy that has been creating a sensation all last season in New York and other cities with the catchy title, Don't Lie to Your Wife" It is the same vehicle MT Lawrence will use for his opening week in San Francisco, so he must think pretty well of it.
