Wool and Hog
Pool Problems

A number of farmers of Bingham
county decided to pool their wool,
and name their own price. They put
it in the warehouse of the Blackfoot
Pocato Growers association, and the
best of it brought SO cents a pound.
But the wool buyers were offended
when asked for single price for all
grades of wool pooled. They looked
and went away. They say that wool
can not be mixed up and sold at the
price the best of it brings.
A. J. Snyder and George A. Line
pooled about $4,000 pounds in
Springfield and sold to Mr.. Pratt, a
regular buyer last week.
There is a movement on foot to
make a cooperative shipment of
hogs.

LONDON BURGLARS HAVING
DONE BIT RESUME JIMMIE&'

LONDON.-The oldtime house
maid who has Just finished helping
win the war by drawing huge wages
in munitions factories will not go
back to cap and apron.
The ex-dustman who carted away
the ashes before he went oyer the top
for king and country refuses to go
back to his former post.
A hundred lowly and some fairly
profitable occupations cry out for the
men and women who refuse to slip
back smoothly into the inches they
fitted before William Hohenzollern
started his campaign of kultur.
But the burglar-he of the soft
foot fall, the jimmy and the bottle Of
"'soup''-had pride in his "profes-
sion" long before William dreamed
his fatal dream. That pride abides
with him still, and he is "going
back"
His thirst for excitement has been
whetted by the thrills of midnight
raids and the dangers of No Mans
Land. Perhaps. there will be new
and daring inventions and achieve
ments in the profession" Of bur-
glaring; certainly there has been a
vast increase in the number of bur-
glaries since rehabilitation started.
Men who prowled by night for the
sake of adventure and profit enlisted
or were combed out by the draft.
Rehabilitation has released many
burglars, just as it has released many
blacksmiths and church deacons.
1t is on record that one convicted
burglar won and now wears the
Victoria Cross, the .higheset award
for bravery.
The captain of famous fighting
regiment tells the story of the
bravest man in his company, a cor
poral, who won decorations and
honors and described himself as a
professional thief.
His one regret" said the captain
was that the recruiting authorities
would not let him describe his oc-
cupation in his attestation papers as
burglar"
1t has been suggested that aero
planes are being used to take stolen
goods into Belgium. When $4,000
worth of cloth can. be lifted" as
was recently done, from a warehouse
absolutely without leaving a trace,
theories are sure to be numerous;
but the police refuse, thus far, to

Chance for Water System
As for Blackfoot's water system,
the city attorney reported he had
talked with the attorney general
about city's rights under utilities

water system. and it was his opinion
it could be done. The matter was
continued with the committee.

Information About
Farms for Soldiers
Continued from page one)

practically been decided upon will
of all other wars that the service
men, because of army life, with its
| openness and activity, largely seek
out-of-doors vacations.
The interior department has al
ready explained to more than 100000
men that the development Of it's
plans rest solely with congress. 1t
is expected that early in the extra
session which convenes May ~,
there will be introduced bills cover
ing the farms-for-soldiers plan.
Briefly the department is saying
that if such legislation is passed.
work will begin at once in the de-
| velopment of cooperative farm set
Elements for soldiers and sailors in
nearly all of the states. In practic-
ally every state in the Union there
are large areas of land suitable for
this purpose. There is dry land in
the west that needs water, which can
be providide by building dams and
canals. In the east are large areas
of cut-over or logged-off timber lands
from which it will be necessary to
blow the stumps and clear of the
underbrush. In the south Is a large
amount Of cut-0ver land and swamp
land which must be drained.
Many Of the soldiers have asked 1t
it will be possible for them to obtain
a Job near their homes by draining,
clearing, irrigating and improving
these lands. That again depends
upon the action Of congress In pro-
viding the money for construction.
The plans propose that these settle
ments be scattered all over the
country, so that it would be possible
for every honorably discharged SOL
der or sailor or marine to work near
his old home. There would be work
of all kinds in connection with these
settlements, fro mthe highest tech
nical and clerical positions to that
of laborer.
The plan involves "the new farm
idea" in that.there will be built what
are known as community settle
ments, each containing a number OF
farm homes, so that the men will
have near neighbors, good roads over
which to bring their produce to
town, and market for the sale of
the produce within a short distance
of the farm home Efforts will be
made to overcome the handicaps OF
farm life that are driving the people
to the cities-the lack of society in
the country, the distance between
farm homes, the remoteness from the
post office and the newspaper, the
desire for better school facilities for
the children. Under the new way
there will be the farm village, the
settlement Of farms around center
which is their home, in which can
be gathered most of the advantages
of the city-the good school, the
church, the moving picture the well
out-fitted store, and these, with good
roads, the rural express, the tele-
phone, the automobile and the post
office will make life on the farm q
thing of far different meaning from
the isolated life It has been.

After these service men have

After these service men have
builded the dams and canals, or
cleared the cut-over land of stumps,
Of built the bitches to drain the
swamp lands, after they have helped
to erect houses and barns, built
fences, constructed roads and laid
out town sites, built creameries, can
neries, warehouses and schools, after
they have in fact reclaimed the land,
the government intends to allow the
men to pick out one Of these farms.
The plan provides that these farms
and homes shall be paid for in small
payments over long term of years.
1t is expected that the men will be
able to pay the first small payment
out of the wages received from the
government in helping to build these
settlements. The balance can be
paid from the proceeds from the sale
of crops.
1t is planned that the government
will also furnish the new farms with
the necessary stock and farm imple-
ments, these to be paid for in small
payments spread over several years.
These farms will contain from
forty to eighty acres for general
farming purposes, from eighty to
100 acres for live stock purposes,
from fifteen to twenty acres for fruit
farms and from five to twenty acres
for truck farms.
Competent instructors in farm
practice will be stationed on each
project to teach the men how to
make a success Of farming. This
will make it possible for men who
know nothing about farming to
make success of these plans. The
plan Is to be open to every man who
has worn Uncle Sans uniform in the
great war.

DO YOU
WANT

II you want something and know
who has it all you need to do is go
and get it, providing your want is
reasonable. But if you want some
thing and don't know who can sup
ply it you have to ask the public.
There are two ways of asking the
public for something you want; to
go after them as body, and to go
after them'as individuals.
In olden days you would get the
town crier to help you. He was the
advertising medium. He told every
body in his stentorian tones whose
COW was lost and who desired to hire
a man to work in the vineyard.
1t was a custom in Athens and
Rome for man to get up on soap
box in the market place and tell the
public what he wanted.
The other. way is to go from one
to another of your neighbors asking
"have you got?" or do you know
where?" This method has the ad-
vantage of being a personal appeal,
but it takes time. If your time is
worth much and your want is no
great matter you are inquiring at
loss.
Any person who has pursued this
QUESTIONABLE method among ac-
Quaintances will know that finding
cook, q maid, or secondhand sew
ing machine is hard row to hoe and
one sown with annoyances. It's
rather depressing each time you re-
ceive the mo, don't" from some
friend, who can't be bothered with
your troubles.
The loss of horse is misfortune
but the loss of weeks time search
ing for him doubles the loss.
There is an agency in every COM
munity which shoulders all such per-
sonal needs and deliberations and
that agency is the classified column
Of newspaper.
Modern newspapers have done
away with and supplanted the town
crier and the man-to-man inquiry.
Stop and think-for your every
want there is the want column.

JED TAYLOR SELLS FARM

Jed Taylor of Riverside has sold
his eighty-acre farm on the south
side of the road, where he has been
living, and will build fine home on
his other tract on the north side of
the road.
The price of the transfer is re-
ported to US to have been $4,000,
which is 5000 per acre. Edward
Green is the purchaser; he says he
knows people in the Salt Lake
country, who would like to buy lands
here and he is encouraging them to
come and look.

Gem State Lumber
Yards Change Hands

With the sale of number of yards
of the Gem State Lumber company
to the National Park Lumber COM
pany, yards at Blackfoot, Arco and
Mackay have changed hands. There
has been so far no change in the
management or the routine of BUSH
ness.
This movement is part of an ex-
pansion on the part of each company,
in different directions. The National
Park company now controls twenty
yards in this territory.
Manager v. D. Gossett remains in
charge of the local yard and business.
