TEN DEGREES BELOW
ZERO LAST NIGHT
SECOND COLD SPELL OF THE
WINTER STRIKES MOSCOW
FOLLOWING HEAVY SNOW

The heaviest snow fall seen here in
years occurred Sunday when more
than a foot of snow fell during the
day Many persons who have been
here many years say they never saw
as much snow fall in the same length
of time as fell between daylight and
o'clock Sunday. The snow came
down in sheets. 1t was soft and wet
and it is well that it was, for a strong
wind would have drifted a dry snow
terribly. 1t drifted to considerable
extent in spite of its dampness.
So rapidly did the snow fall that
it was useless to clean walks until it
ceased falling and the snow plows
did not go out until evening, when the
sidewalks were cleaned of the snow
which was more than foot deep.
About O'Clock the snow ceased falling
and the temperature started down,
reaching the lowest point-10 below
zero ,at o'clock Monday morning.
Water pipes froze and house plants
were nipped by the frost in many
homes The extreme cold was unex-
pected and people had ont prepared
for it. So sudden and severe was the
drop in temperature that it caught
people unprepared and plumbers have
been busy today The most serious
damage reported is that the Star
Hotel, where the pipes in the range
froze and exploded destroying the

VILLA THREATENS
JUAREz, MEXICO
BAND OF MURDERERS WITHIN
% MILES OF AMERICAN LINE
AT Ell PASO, TEXAS

JUAREZ.-An armed Villa band
was reported late today at point
north of Villa Ahumada, % miles
south of here. Whether the band is
main Villa column under Martin
Lopez or a scouting party under
Ramon Vega, or other minor chief,
was not known here tonight, but its
presence within the 100-mile radius
of Juarez is causing continued vigil
ance in the border district. Military
officers are taking every precautlon
against a Villa attack.
American Exodus Continues.
Ell PASO, Texas.-American min
ing and smelling men continue to
arrive at the border from the interior
of Mexico, fearing Francisco Villa
will carry out his threat to wreck all
American owned mines and mills and
kill Americans unless a tribute esti-
mated at $1,000,000 gold is paid by
the big American companies operat-
ing in the north of Mexico.
March 1 was the date set by Villa
for carrying out his threat. Many
properties are being closed. The de-
mand was made on the Madero Lum-
Der company, an American Canadian
corporation, as we'll as upon several
mining companies including the Am
erican Smelling & Refining company.
The demands for tribute were de-
livered to the American mine officials
here by an American mining man who
was held prisoner by Villa and re-
leased for that purpose. The money
was to be paid at the mines or to
Villas agent here, who is now under
arrest. AS far as known none of the
demands have been met.

EXTENSION WORK
TO IMPROVE HOMES
CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER HOME
CONVENIENCES AND SUR
ROUNDINGS STARTED HERE

What the home economics workers
are doing in Idaho to help the women
and improve home conditions and
make the home life, especially on the
farms, brighter and easier was showr
during the extension workers con-
ference held here last week. The
university, the agricultural college
and their branches, including the
home economics and extension work
ers forces are trying to improve con-
ditions in every line, especially in
the rural districts, and great success
has been met throughout the dis
tricts where the greatest amount of
work has been done An explanation
of the work that has been accomplish
ed and the plans that are being made
for future work is given in state
ment prepared by the department. 1t
follows:
During the past week the home
demonstration agents here have been
discussing the plans of work for the
coming year. There has been much
discussion among outsiders as to
whether the home demonstration
agent was in close enough touch with
the women to actually know their
problems, but as the women belong
to the farm bureau and they them
selves state their problems, the home
demonstration agent is only leader
the work. Consequently the
problems given the most attention
this week have been those brought in
from the field. Since the epidemic of
influenza there has been great de-
mand from the women to know more
about the home care of the sick. Ar
rangements have been made to give
this work in communities under the
direction of trained nurse. Actual
will be given in TAX
ing care of sick patient. Along
with the work will be carried the |
,hild welfare program.
Because of the scarcity of wool |
and it's high price during the war |
much of the clothing on the market |
S inferior quality. 1t is hoped with
he aid of the clothing specialist,
who have not been accustom-
ID to make over clothing will utilize
he garments on hand in making /
.lothes for the children till both the
quality and the price become normal.
N many sections Of Idaho the homes
ire new and much interest has been
hown in the planting of trees and
hrubs and thus beautifying their
grounds. Out of this has grown the
'roject, "Beautify the Home" Along
With this project improving the ex-
erior of the home is project to pro-
-ide more conveniences for the home
nd to install some kind of water
ystem in every home. Much interest
as been shown in poultry throughout
he state and many women are in
crested in making the farm flock
ay. So with the help of the poultry
pecialist many communities are
yorking for better breeds of poultry
nd for better egg production. These
our projects are being carried on in
Twin Falls, Gooding and
anyon counties. The women of
nese counties are much interested in
nese projects and the home demon
bration agent is endeavoring this ,
eek to work out plans that will help |
1e women much along these lines !

war successfully and her
profit making railroads was
lone of the reasons. When the
United States went to war we
were guided by Britain's ex-
perience and took over the
railroads. The purpose in mind
was swift movement of troops
and freight needed for war
uses. That purpose was ac-
complished and necessarily
profit making had to be side
tracked. The fact the govern
ments of England and Amer
lea incurred deficits while op-
eratng the railroads in war
time is no reflection on the eff
ficiency of the management. !
There was bigger object in
view than dividends. The sue
cess of government operation !
should be judged not by defi-
cts or profits but by the de-
gree of success attained in the
of traffic to meet
war needs.

asked Adams.

THEY DO NOT LIKE 1T

N F German newspapers gen.
orally reflect German
public opinion, we may
fairly judge that the people of
the defeated country do not
like the plan of the League of
Nations.
In Berlin the Vorwaerts as
serts the league ''is a league of
victors with character of trust
despite the welcome establish
ments of the principle of arbi-
tration, and the treaty is pre-
vaded with a capitalistic spr-
it." The Germans, according
to the Tageblatt, now learn
that in the League of Nations
statutes Established at Paris
without consultation, no atten-
tions appears to have been paid
to Germany, evidently consid-
cred a second or third rate
power. The league is a draft
not of a League of Nations but
a league of arms against Ger
many" The Leipzig Tageblatt
says: 1T does not follow that
we must swallow the treaty in
its present form" The Vos-
sische Zeitung terms the ''trea-
ty a great disappointment"
All of which, remarks the
Boston Post does not "jibe"
very well with the shouts of
some of our senatorial hostiles
to the effect that the league is
designed to 'let Germany
down easy"
1t is impossible that both
sides can be right.
