so loyalty to the call is an evidence
OF good faith and optimism that is es-
pecially cherished at a time when the
county is virtually on trial and is re-
ceiving the most severe test in the
annals of it's history. Then when the
county commissioners came through
with a handsome little donation it was
generally concluded that this years
fair was indeed to be bigger and bet

BOOST NOw-OR FOREVER REST
IN PEACE.

The driest season In thirty years is
here with the acid test for our dry
farm land, our methods of farming
and our methods of doing business.
with three or four years Of poor crops
behind us we are faced with an un-
parallelled drouth. Strange to say
Power county is wlthstanding 1t much
better than any Of her n~eighbors up
and down the valley and compares
very fayorably with any section In
the west.
Why not cash in" on the fact that
we have right at our doors the best
dry farm land In southern Idaho.
True, some' of II isn't farmed proper
ly perhaps, some OF IL Is sowed to
spring grain when II should have been
sown 10 fall grain, and some of IL Is
naturally poor land. But as a whole
whore would you go TO get farm land
that will produce as well, at such a
reasonable price? You will have TO
travel many lonesome miles In most
any direction that you go. No land
we know about will live through a
drouth as has the farm land of Pow
er county.
SO It is a time to boost. 1t Is a
time for cooperation. II Is q time for
Fluctuations. II is the time for us all
to awaken and capitalize our re-
sources and opportunities. At our
door stands the most logical reclama-
tion project In the state of Idaho. We
have thousands OF acres that a be
irrigated.
We have the best dry land I'm thu
state. We have thousands of acres
of undeveloped land that can be cul
tivated TO advantage. We are blessed
with a good start In schools, highways

Ambassador Bacon, who preceded
him. was probably the wealthiest
representative we have had in Paris
for long time. He certainly spent
between $4,000 and s1S0,o00 a year
in keeping up the honor of the flag.
Ambassador Herrick had the Bacon
pace to follow, and he did it. Why
should the American ambassador be
constrained to make such sacrifice?
Some Americans think them unneces-
sary, especially since the war cur
tailed entertaining. But the war, on
the other hand, is over and the figure
of the American ambassador looms
bigger and bigger
