FORCED PEACE.

The German government signed the
peace treaty AT Versailles Saturday.
In doing SO II served notice TO the
world that Il cannot and Will not live
NJ TO the terms. Rather n happy sit
uation we would say and one that
will undoubtedly call for some care
full calculating on the part of the al
lies.
Yet what else was there TO do but
for Germany 20 sign tho terms? And
what else for the allies to do but ac-
cept the situation? The German
army Is disrupted and the German ma
tion hardly more than a name. We
might have gone into Germany with
our armies and burned and sacked
and killed but there would have been
no defense worthy the name. Ger
many has signed but not honestly and
sincerely. In fact sincerity could not
be expected from a people who had
declared treaties of near u century in
age mere scraps of paper"
Germany will still bear watching
and the watching will only be effec-
tive II there IL behind e force with

LEGION AGAINST AGITATION.

The first convention of the dele
gates of the American Legion in Boise
last week. went solidly for the reso-
luton aimed against +. W. w. and
Bolsheyiki propaganda within the
state Of Idaho. Power county's del
egates, be II said to their credit, we're
solidly behind the resolution. We
have little cause for worry in our
county at the present time but in
northern sections OF the state the
menace is already existent. occas-
ionaily however, we hear the ranting
OF tho man that believes the papers
all lied about German atrocities in
Belgium and France and that after
all the Germans are a pretty nice sort
OF %neighbor. We take pleasure in re-
ferring all who are in doubt to any
one Of Power eounty's overseas sol
diers.

MANS FRIEND, THE BAT.

DIR. Charles A. X. Campbell OF San
Antonio, Texas, is rated the worlds
greatest mosquito exterminator. Con-
%sequently, he also becomes the worlds
greatest malaria. e~radicator.
DIR. Campbell's means OF Kidding the
earth OF mosquitoes is simple, or COM
pick. as the view may be. He de-
clares the only effective method OF re-
moving the mosquito is through the
bat At San Antonio. DR.. Campbell
has built. at the request OF the city
government. the only municipal bat
terry in the world. The roost is cap
able of housing $50, 900 bats and al
ready has about 5000 regular occu-
pants. Another roost constructed by
DR.. Campbell at Mitchell Lake. about
ten miles from San Antonio, has rs, 1000
bats. The Mitchell lake roost pro-
duced 4012 pounds of guano, and since
this fertilizer has sprung into life.
says the doctor. there is not a single
case of malaria at Mitchell lake, a
hotbed of the disease before the bat
moved in"
AT the instance of DIR. Campbell,
who has Just returned from Havana,
the Cuban government is planning TO
establish an extensive battery. He is
also in receipt OF an invitation from
Italy. and has another request to go
to India for the British government.
At New Orleans DR.. Campbell told
the health authorities that malaria.
the semi-tropic scourge, can be elm
mated from Louisiana. The mos
quito alone is responsible-it is the
incubator OF mankind. II the mos
quito is disposed OF, with its passing
will come the disappearance OF ma
laria. The surest and swiftest method
of Kidding the earth of mosquitoes is
by propagating the bat"

In the game of bottling up the waste
water for future use ON a thirsty des-
ert there should be full cooperation.
Especially on the part of the farm
sections most interested. Pocatello
and Bannock county are interested on
ly to the point where the state at
large may be benefited. The work
OF the reclamation association is not
a childish dream. 1t is a serious bus
mess effort, and part of the game to
secure a half billion dollars operat-
ing capital for the reclamation of dry
lands in the west.
Some of the communities haven't
shown their mettle. They are locat-
ed in farming sections that are vital
ly interested in the SUCCESSOR fail
ure-of the reclamation plans. This
isn't a balloon venture. II demands
the tense interest of every live guam
tity In the state, and were time and
energy available a world of publici-
ty could be advanced that WOULD ac-
quaint the citizens, as we'll as the
derellct, with his per sonal part in
the game.
The big theory to be considered in
the program for securing the half
billion dollar appropriation is hat II
the government will but impound or
bottle up the water in the western
areas, ways and mean Will be found
for Its distribution, even IL the gov
eminent does not participate to the
extent of going into the canal system.
The main thing re CURED ia conser-
walton of the supply. It's proper dis
tribution Is but a detail.
Millions are available for that pur-
pose,
Reservoirs are the primary item,
and control of the waste is the essen
tial thing. There is enough waste
water running by the go Il farm lands
of Idaho every day to water millions
OF acres, to say nothing of developing
other projects.
II Is possible that some OF the far
seeing might entertain speculative
ideas On the final promotion. Those
things can be kept under control by
cooperation of all elements.
The big purpose is to control the
supply. and stop the leaks. Hold the
waste water for the dry seasons and
the extra lands, and Idaho and other

to tho construction of canal systems,
so much the better. II not, plenty of

The main idea is to control the wa
