We have had several inquiries
from people as to the operation of
the state hail insurance law. For
the benefit of our readers, we have
secured complete text of the law
and after perusipg its contents
will put it down in a nutshell in
these columns. A notable phase
of the law is that all land planted
to crops is deemed insured, and
unless the owner or renter makes
his desire known by a statement
in duplicate to the county auditor
asking exemption from the appli-
cation of the law to his fields be-
fore June 1st, such fields will au-
tomatically be insured. For next
weeks issue we shall prepare an
article explaining the law in full.
Brookings, S. D., April. The
chicks that are Matched in April
will weigh more at four months
old than those Matched in June
will at the same age, according to
G. 0. Hudson, State college exten
sion poultryman. The rate of
growth of a chick is greatest the
first sixteen weeks of it's life, so
the early Matched chick having ad-
vantage of a more favorable grow
ing period makes greater gain
than the late hatched chick.
March, April and May are the
best months for Matching in South
Dakota.

At the general town caucus
Tuesday, the proposition of sewe-
age has been discussed along with
drainage. Tabor stands in a lake
bed and naturally needs drainage.
Also the lowering of the rate on
electric light service from zoe to
15c per kilowat hour. SO far
those who have the lights have
paid enough to place the plant on
a self sustaining basis, with a sur
plus of about $50 each month.
The users of electricity have been
paying for the town lights on the
streets, the town hall and running
of the motor in the town pumping
plant. In our opinion, as we'll as
others, this is an unjust affair, as
people who do not have the lights,
but are burning kerosine, have the
benefit of lighted streets without
paying a cent for it. What should
be done, is that all juice used by
the town should be recorded by a
special town meter and a bill hand
ed to the town, as to other users,
each month. In this way the
the toyn electric bill would be
paid by all tax payers in town,
thru the town treasury, as it
should be, and not only by those
who use electricity in their bust
ness places and their homes.

LosT-A REPUTATION.

Caldwell has for many years en-
joyed the reputation of being the
cheapest city in Idaho, SO far as living
was concerned. Enormous amounts
of rural business came to Caldwell
from nearby points and even from re-
latively distant communities because
it was possible to buy here more
cheaply than in other Idaho towns
with railroad facilities. "
And just as truly, Boise, Idaho's
capital city, has long enjoyed the
reputation Of being the highest priced
city in Idaho Higher rents, lack OF
railroad facilities and other conditions
made that situation possible. While
Boise has long been recognized as the
commercial center of Idaho, many
purchasers of worldly goods refused
to patronize the state capital as a
business center. High prices have
prevented many families from making
their winter home there that children
might attend Boise schools.
That favorable situation continues
no longer, as evidenced by an investi-
CATION OF grocery prices made last
week at Boise and compared with
local prices prevailing the same day.
Boise has free delivery system, a
courteous and prompt service. Cald-
well stores charge 10 cents for each
delivery.
Here is a comparison of prices
which were made last week Straw
berries, retailing locally for IS cents
for two boxes. were being sold and de-
livered in Boise for 80 cents. Canta-
loupes were quoted at five cents each
In Caldwell they were sold four fol
rs cents. Tomatoes were five cent.
a pound in Boise; here they hsough
grocery dealers 6A cents per pound
Prunes were four. cents per pound
herethey were sold at five.
Other quotations on locally pro
duced commodities, regarded as es
sentials during the summer and fal
months, had prices varying in tina
proportion. Waternelons alone wer'
quoted at lower price in Caldwell
than were being obtained for them il
Boise. 1t must be borne in mind tina
in Boise those goods were delivere,
free. In Caldwell, an order larg
enough for the ordinary family woul
cost an additional 10 cents to magnif
the difference already prevailing.

LAUGHING IT DOWN.

One of the finest things happening
in America today is the additionally
American method of handling the Boil
shiyik menace. Last winter we were
warned and informed and frightened
into the belief that only small mi
nority, lingering among the ranks OF
sane citizens, prevented Socialistic
up heaval Russia was cited with hor-
ror, Hungary tried Bolshevism and the
world stood agast at the rapid strikes,
encroaching strides, made by the ex-
ponents of that barbaric cult.
Spring passed into summer and
summer is fast fading into fall. We
have had labor troubles to be sure.
Everyone anticipated that we would
have. But where have all the clamor,
the vindictive threats of government
destruction gone?
We have our old democratic method
of doing things, cluttered and incon-
veniently irksome at times. but stable,
intact as ever. America mas. simply
looked the situation over, taken stock
of herself, hitched her belt and gone
about her business of producing grains
and metals, shoes and automobiles,
and Bolshevism has been backed from
the map. Hungary's Socialistic effort
failed dismally. Russia has reached
the point where even Lenine is willing
and anxious p restore the. industries
his regime deliberately destroyed and
lis looking to allied capital to accomp-
lish that end.
Probably as a vital factor in our do
nestle problem, Bolshevism has beer
safely relegated to the scrap heap
And the devil-may-care attitude of the
American populace, that sanity and
humor which is the basis Of the ma
tons strength, appraised Bolshevism
discarded it and forgot 1T. While
America laughs, Bolshevism dies.

PICTURESQUE. FIRE
DESTROYS RABBITRY
JOE ERWIN LOSES FINE COL
LECTION OF PUREBRED
ANIMALS.

Fire last Thursday evening COM
pletely destroyed Joe Efwin's rabbitry
at 11lo Chicago street where Mr..
Erwin housed one of the finest col
-lections Of pure bred rabbits in Idaho.
The alarm was turned in about s
o'clock Because of some delay in
starting and the long distance to be
covered, the fire department did not
arrive on the scene until the fire had
teached such proportions that the
building and contents were complete
loss.
Origin of the fire is unknown but it
is believed to have been caused by
defective wiring. Mr.. Erwin owned
26o head of natured rabbits besides
several filters. OF these, only seven
survived the fire. Mr.. Erwin had those
on exhibition at the state fair Mr..
Erwin had recently purchased a few
exceptional breeding animals in Port
land and had laid considerable plans
for the Improvement of his already
fine stock this winter. Eighteen
guinea pigs, recently added to the col
lection, we're also destroyed.
Large crowds collected to witness
the Nblaze which was unusually pictur-
esque one. Electric wires, current
carriers for that section of town, were
quickly burned in two and attracted
considerable interest when the blaz-
ing ends lay in the dry grass, consti-
tuting constant menace to adjoining
property.
Mr.. Erwin has announced that he
will Immediately begin rebuilding his
herd making preparations for con-
tinuing the work on broader scale
than heretofore. Insurance on the
building and contents Amounted 10
$500

ON THE FENCE

President Wilson has persistently
elected to refrain from definite
stand on the GREATEST domestic Ameri-
can problem of today-that of labor.
In general, he has favored increased
wages to men in the employ of gov
eminent operated public utilities.
Only nation wide refusal, emphati-
cally expressed, to brook additional
wage increases to the railroad broth
erhoods, prevented a substantial ad-
dition to the deficit being rolled up
by the railroads and a further en-
tanglement of an already sadly mud
died situation and stopped President
Wilson from granting the demands as
presented.
| England is tied up with the worst
strike of her history. Government
naturalization of the railway system
is in vogue there. Extensive labor
concessions amounting almost to the
establishment Of Soviet have failed
to pacify the industrial classes
Something of the same situation i:
almost inevitable here And that pos
sibility is becoming daily more acute
through the willful refusal of oul
president to face the labor situation
with definite policy. In considering
the political horizon, concession ha.
always been made the labor the labo

DROP THE DEBATE.


Without regard to the merits of the
League of Nations as President Viii
son proposes it to be, one thing is
certain; American people are becom-
ing anxious, restless, wistful that
something definite be done. Now that
the president and number of his
opponents have taken the covenant
before the people, presenting both
sides of the controversy, it would
seem that little time should elapse
before the league can be disposed
of definitely.
No sane American wanted haste in
ratifying the -peaeetreaty and the
league covenant. Postponment was
more to be preferred than prompt ac-
ton which might be regretted later.
The world and its people might suffer
while we waited but that is preferable
TO entering an agreement WHOSE tenets
might prove nationally detrimental.
Nothing new has been lately
evolved in the controversy. II savers

QUESTIONABLE MOTIVE.

Last Friday, without taking the mat
ter before the public utilities commits
sion, the controversy between the
Caldwell Traction company and the
idaho Power company was practically
disposed of. At no time was there
any question that the Traction COM
pany would continue to operate and
that the difference would be amicably
settled.
Something behind the scenes used
for purposes which are not now ap-
parent, caused the temporary disrup-
ton of traffice on the Traction lines.
1t seems that an organized effort is
being made to discredit the Caldwell
Traction lines to those who are de-
pendent upon them for service. Fol-
lowing closely upon the discrimination
flagrantly practiced by the Oregon
Short Line in providing refrigerator
cars directly contrary to orders issued
from headquarters of the railroad ad-
ministration at Washington, every in
dication points to determined effort
to deliberately hamper the work Of
the smaller corporation.
No public utility, such as the Idaho
Power company, could have been un
aware of the futility of pursuing sucf
practices as those which they inau
gurated last week The Caldwell Trac
ton company, itself public utilit,
corporation and carrier of govern
ment mail, must be operated. AID
hitting that the Traction compan,
could not pay for its electricity, thu
Idaho Power company chose malic
iously wrongful method to enfore'
payment.
Two courses were open to them
They might have asked receiver il
the event the Traction lines wer'
bankrupt. If collection of an old out
standing note was desired, the onl.
recourse is court. And the Traction
company, as evidenced by its abilit,
to meet the indebtedness promptly, il
not bankrupt Under those circum
stances, some questionable motiv'
mnst lie behind the action of othel
