frequerters spend their time denounc-
ing the church and religion for having
brought about the condition or state
of being of prohibition.
Which finally, is what DR.. Empring-
ham, from behind his pink necktie is
driving at. 1t is the opportunity of
the church. Having brought about
prohibition, and reduced the saloon to
uselessness under present conditions,
he is putting right up to the church
the problem of finding substitute fos
the saloon, and is asking the cooper
alton of the public with the Every
Name and Nation Wide campaigns of
the Episcopal church in devising such
a substitute. Letters and suggestions
along these lines will be gratefully re-
ceived by him at 124 East 2Sth ST.,
New York City.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

One hundred ten years ago this week. or to be
more exact, February - 1909, there was born in
Harden County, Ky, IN the midst of the most abjec
poverty and discouragmg surroundings, a babe who
was destined to become the savior Of nation and
the hbcrator OF race. peruSa of the life of Alb
raham Lincoln suggest few parallels even in this
country of great and promising opportunities
And among the more Intelligent persons of today
the real worth of this remarkable character is be
coming more apparent and his work more appreci-
ated There is, however among those who most
benefited by his life, confined we are glad to be able
to say to the ignorant and unread disposition to
belittle and diSparage his "Proclamaton of Eman-
cipation They say he really was never opposed

We say the ignorant and unread" because we do
not believe any man of intelligence or even one who

possibly take that stand. The more we have read
and studied his life the convinced are we that

PREPARE FOR THE VICTORY
AND THANKSGIVING LOAN

When the Victory Libery Loan
is announced by the Treasury De-
partment in a few weeks from to-
day, Americans will have probab-
ly their last opportunity to OBJ
tain the best investment in the
world at a price which gives them
half again as much interest as
they used to receive from the saw
ings banks. With the Treaty Of
Peace only a few weeks or months
away, it is a certainty that the
Government will be able very soon
to obtain money on better terms
than prevailed during the war.
That is a good reason why every
sensible American should be MAX
ing plans now for liberal subscrip-
tons to the coming Victory Loan.
1t is generally thought in fnan-
cial circles that government
bonds, based on national wealth
and revenues, with the ordinary
tax exemptions that they carry
are the best securities for banks,
trust companies, insurance corpor-
ations, and endowment funds of
all kinds. Generally these Securi-
ties pay very low rate of inter
est, because there is no risk in
holding them.
This war has given the Ameri-
can people investment oppOrtuni-
ties that may not be equalled in
generations. Fortunately $4,000
000people have had the good sense
to see this and they have bought
the first four Liberty Loan issues
out of their savings bank accumu-
rations and by laying aside every
week or month part of their salar-
les and wages. Some persons did
not buy enough of the early Lib
erty Bonds and they might now
have trouble in obtaining them,
if they shonld try to pick them up
in the bond market
The Government is going to
give everybody one last chance to
stow away saved-up money where
neither robbers nor swindlers can
touch it. To finish paying war ex-
penses, the u. S. Treasury will
put out in the spring the fifth and
probably the last issue-the Vie
tory and Thanksgiving Liberty
Loan, as Secretary Glass calls it.
The terms of this loan probably
will be a little better than those
on which the Fourth Loan was
doated. 1t will be very foolish to
neglect this last chance to become
a Government Bondholder. There
Is no money so sweet as that which
comes in by the coupOn-clipping
route.
Every American ought to be a
regular saver by this time. There
is evidence that at least a third
of the total population are saving
money With the country on the
way to bone dry" and every
body trained in economy and saw
ing, nothing hould prevent won
derful oversubcription of the Vie
tory liberty Loan.
IL you have not started a fam
lily budget or adopted a regular
saving scheme, now is the time to
do it. Only a little time remains
to save up money for your first
payment on the new Liberty bonds
of the Victory and Thanksgiving
issue. You will regret it all your
life if you miss this good chance
to become a real Investor in the
Future of the United States.

COLD WEATHER PREVAILS
THROUGHOUT WIDE AREA

mon Winter, Weekly Weather
Report Shown

The weekly weather report issued
from the Boise office said this week.
THE past week was characterized
by decidedly severe winter weather
Unusually low temperatures for De-
cember prevailed in all parts of the
state and in many sections the cold
was without precedent. Tempera-
lures below zero occurred even in the
mildest portions of the state and in
the mountain sections Temperatures
of 40 to so degrees below zero were
recorded. The snowfall was general
and quite heavy in some localities.
The depth in the mountains has in
creased decidedly and the high winds
that prevailed at times packed it solid
in the canyons. The snow in the
Bear river range is 6 to 9 feet deep.
"The snow and cold prevented any
resumption of farm work and farmers
confined their activities to absolutely
necessary chores and feeding. There
is no report of loss of livestock due
to weather conditions. although the
intense cold and heavy snow worked
hardships for all classes of stock. Cat
tie and sheep on the desert range are
being fed.
The snow on the main travelled
roads is packed hard and the roads
are somewhat slippery; side roads are
rough and mostly in poor condition. i,

Prolonged Feeding Season Confronts
Both Cattle and Sheep Men, Hay

While reports are coming in from
all sections that livestock men are
already experiencing one of the worst
winters of their history and have been
driven from the ranges at an UMPIRE
cented date in the fall, local livestock
growers feel confident that members
of that fraternity in this section will
come through unscathed. Grant Ward
Wednesday expressed the belief that
there was sufficient hay in the valley
to meet all demands and that prob
ably no losses would be sustained.
Reports are current that both cat
tlemen and sheepmen in the outlying
districts are having more than usual
difficulty rounding up their livestock
Calves are reported to have died be-
cause of the severe weather even
where sufficient feed but insufficient,
shelter was available. Heroic meas
ures have been pursued in some in
stances to get cattle off the ranges
Shipments of livestock have been re-
ceived frequently at the local stock

hurrying them down from the noun

delivering the water to the land in

ing overcome by means of drain

Crops Stimulate.
The movement in farm property
since harvesting the 1919 crop has
likely been the greatest on record.
This is largely due to the arrival OF
new settlers, and partly to the spirit
of speculation existing all over our
country. The bumper crops secured
this year has contributed its share in
increasing the values of the land, as
is sown by the following figures.
Early frosts did considerable damage
I othe orchards, the prune crop being
almost total failure, yet many or
