Idaho Declares War on Rodents.

The farm bureaus of Is counties in
Idaho, in cooperation with the Bio
logical Survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture, this year
treated 266,068 acres of land with
poisoned bait to kill ground squirrels.
According to the estimates of the
farmers benefited, $1,16S,074 worth
of crops were saved at a cost of
$30,920. In Bear Lake County, fol-
lowing the quirrel-eradicatio cam
paign, the local bounty office re-
corded the receipt Of 136,500 squirrel
tails. In Bingham County one men,
ber of the farm bureau reported he
had received $49,74 bounty on the
presentation of 2,487 squirrel tails.
These were killed by the use of only
$40 worth of strychnine and sac
charine. He saved his crops besides.
In Blaine County the farmers report
saving of $40 for every dollar ex-
pended, and the county commission
ers have increased their appropria-
tion for this work of poisoning
squirrels from $500 for 1913 to
$500 for 1919.

THE DEATH ROLL.

The latest governmental estimates
of soldiers killed during the wal
are as follows: Russia, 100000;
France, 100000; Great Britain
65S,704, and Italy, 100000.
The figures of course, are esti
mates, but the sharp scrutiny of loss
IS and the steady accumulation OF
information tend to remove error;
and eXaggerations. Reports of Ger
many's losses vary greatly, but it /:
robably conservative to estimate
them at 100000. Austria-H Hun
gary lost heavily, probably 10000
men. Turkey lost at least 100000
oerbias losses have been estimated
at 250,000 as enormous percentage
while Belgium lost more than 100,
900. Roumania 100000 and th
United States perhaps $4,000.
The total number of deaths direc
tly resulting from the war was there
fore no less than 100000 men
Probably the death roll is higher
AS for permanently crippled men, tn
.otal will run more than 100000

A fire broke out in the bakery of
w. C. Bowling on Main street at
about $50 on Friday evening, and
before it could be extinguished, much
damage had been done the building
as we'll as the stock therein. When
discovered the fire was about ready
to break through the roof and it was
some little time after the alarm was
given before a stream of water was
playing ON the flames. In about
three minutes time, however, after
the water was turned on, the fire was
extinguished and no damage re-
suited to abutting property. The
fire evidently started from defective
flue which goes up about the middle
of the building. No one was near
the premises at the. time, but there
had been a fire in the heating stove
land 1t was from this the fire un-
.doubtedly started. The building be.
longs to the George Noble estate and
Is one Of the Oldest houses on the
street! Damage to, this will run tc
about $3.50. Just what loss Mr.
Bowling sustained we have not
learned but it will be several hundred
dollars. AS soon as the insurance is
adjusted, arrangements will be made
for repairing the building or taking
it out entirely and replacing it witt
a concrete structure. AS to this, Mr.
Noble is not decided at present. II
the meantime, the bakery is out o
business and numerous housewives
of Heppner are taking a turn a
bread making.

A COSTLY LUXURY.

Water appears to be about the
most expensive thing we have.
Especially when it is surrounded
With a tin can and is shipped across
the continent.
Take tomatoes. Probably canned
tomatoes are 80 per cent water, and
eight-tenths of the remainder can,
and that means bulk and weight and
freight rate and scandalous prices.
The newest thing in commercial
food preparation appears to be the
dehydration plant.
1t merely removes the water from
the vegetables and leaves the tin
witltnUt tenant. s. 20 Ia
1t ksfigured that the housewife can
add the water, and that she would
rather not pay at the rate of dollar
or more a gallon for needless
moisture. 'f
TNe flavor, the amount of nutri-
ment, is the same in the dried pro
duct as in that canned by the olo
method,
Some vegetables are the better
for drying, as those who ever had the
pleasure of sampling grandmothers
dried sweet corn can testify.
Here are some Of the vegetables
now being dehydrated; potatoes
rutahagas, turnips, squash, pumpkin
beans, sweet corn, tomatoes, beets
carrots, parsnips, spinach, peas
onions, caulifower, peppers and eel

The process is not the same as thu
old drying process, and it bids faiI

Also it has already helped tht

surplus at a fair price in mid-sum

ONE WAR REVELATION.

One great public fact brought
out by the war is that multiplicity of
government enterprises has shown a
great trend toward inefficiency.
Industries embraced under war
necessities and not protected against
political pull, in most cases showed
poor results far below American
standards.
Under our polisicaI, system and
party rule those who advocate taking
over all the important industries in
times of peace, work against public
welfare. r~H*1I.
Government ownership and opera
tion of any industry means increased
cost Of production and lessened out
put, with consequent higher cost to
the people. @-+ r. -
Who gets the increased outlay for
the product. The army of officials
who constitute the inevitable politi-
cal overhead or public administra-
ton.
All who work for the government
slow down in their efforts for they
are not subject nor indeed can they
be made subject to laws Of competi-
tion.
To place all industries under gov
ernment management means to
create o privileged class, destructive
to liberty and becoming constantly
more inefficient
The example of what it lead to in
4 Germany, centralized autocracy, and
what it lead to in Russia, anarchy

sufficient warning The Manufac.

That day has passed. The patient
everyday citizen, the tOiler on the
farm. in mill and factory. and shop,
and store. who. in person, OF
through his sons, has paid the
stupendous price of victory, has
awakened to his right to say that in
the interests of the great mass of
men and not in the interests of the
few shall peace terms be made. He
has believed he was sacrificing and
fighting in q war that was to end
war. He has made up his mind that
this sort of thing shall not happen
again. The peace conference of 1919
is not to be peace conference OF
kings and presidents. Should it
prove such. should 1t forget the un-
numbered millions who have won
the great victory. and revert to the
old underhanded, selfish methods
whereby the elect by birth and
financial power of each nation seek
their greatest gain at the expense
of the common good of all, then woe
betide remaining kings, presidents
plenipotentiaries. The curtain has
fallen on that stage where the
destinies of nations are determined
by men whip have not looked at the
calendar for two hundred years So

PAYING FOR BLOOD.

Al average registered cattle sale

The highest price paid was S12,OO
ft ,e bull and the top"
he. sold for $500.
This was not national stock
show; it was a private sale of a large
breeder, and the total amount re-
ceived and the average price paid,
have been matched many times these
last few months in sales held over
the country.
These sales, held in hundreds of
counties every year, are not attended
chiefly by breeders, who are paying
fl es for breeding stock to
sell again.
n herds of the country are
absorbing this rich blood; and farm
el nen. baby beef men, stock
men who expect to groy beeves or
sheep or hogs only for the market,
are paying $4,000 for sire,
= $4,000 for a boar, $4,000 for ram,
hundreds of dollars for rooster,
When it is considered that the
change from a grade sire to a regis
tered one means an increase in the
milk yield of the future herd of
el,uugh to pay for the sire in two
years, you understand that this pure
blood eagerness of the farmers is not
a hobby, it's just business.
The herds and flocks and droves
and bands on the farms of this
country are being graded up to
European pure blood standards faster
today than ever, and countless farms
have nothing on them that breathes
that does not have a pedigree.
Unless it may perchance be the
hired man, and probably he has an
agricultural diploma, and is getting
more a month in cash than the boss
farmer once got for 1000 bushels OF
corn.
Remember when corn sold at ter
cents a bushel?
Scrub animals, cheap seed, hap
hazard methods and wired together
equipment no longer typifies ever
the average small farm in this
country. And those farmers who
still struggle under such handicapE
are each day getting farther anc
farther behind.
So far. behind, that each spring
will see an increasing number O.
them selling their tattered belong
ings, and quitting the game, unit
there will be not even one left for

DON'T sTARvE THE CATTLE.

1t is short-sighted policy to starve
cattle by attempting to maintain
hem in depleted fall pastures. This
ractice is common in western range
states. 1t is unjust because 1t is in
humane, and it is unwise because it
is Improbable.
Although animals suffer less than
man, they none the less suffer.
Partial starvation is agonizing in the
extreme. Aside from this, it causes
stockmen to lose money.
When the cattle come off summer
pastures they are usually in good
condition. They are then turned
into the fields to pick up what could
not be gathered during the harvest
This Is desirable both in order to
save the feed which would otherwise
be wasted. High price OF feed
tempts owners to delay feeding as
long as possible. This is not wise
because cattle lose flesh rapidly.
Experienced feeders know only toe
well that 1t is more difficult to gel
flesh back on animals than it is tc
keep them in good condition and il
| is also much more expensive than tC
| avoid its loss. 1t is not profitable t(
keep cattle fut, but they should be
kept strong and vigorous.
Weak animals die at sprin}
,alving. When cows die, thei
calves, too either die or else ar
saved with extreme difficulty. Fee(
that the dead animals have eaten Il
lost. Had these animals been solt
or killed in the fall and the hay fet
to other animals, these others woult
have been in better condition.-Sal

Little does he know what a
strong effort is being made by the
socialist ponucians in this country
to "Europeanize'' and "paternalize"
this nation in his absence.
This man has seen the lack of
initiative in the common people in
countries where the government con-
trols the great utilities such as the
transportation telephone and tel
egranh systems as we'll as many other
lines of industry.
He has been in country where
the common people" never heard
of such things as telephones and
electric lights in their homes. These
conveniences were for the rich and
"official class" only. The govern
ment controlled the supply and there
was no competition and so why fur
nish cheap phones and juice to the
people"
This is simply an illustration of
the system.
This man expects to come home
! to a country such as he left where
the private individual was at liberty
to develop and grow and build up a
business under the protection of a
constitution guaranteeing him these
rights.
lie doesn't expect to come home
and find his country "Europeanized'
and "paternalized" so that when the
door is forever closed to him as a
private citizen to enter the field of
railroading, the telephone, telegraph,
cable business, the maratime IN

This man doesn't want to be petted
and pampered and made a mere
ward of the government.
lie wants an Americans chance to
build and develop along lines of in
| dividual initiative under tho protec.
ion of the American flag.
This man little realizes that while
he has been away from home fighting
for democracy in foreign lands, ar
rganized movement has been start
