EZELL HURT
IN ACCIDENT

Deputy Sheriff George r. Ezell was
thrown from his car and painfully
injured Saturday evening between
Blackfoot and Pocatello when as he
was about to pass car ahead which
suddenly slowed down and turned
slightly into the road. Mr.. Ezell
had one hip fractured and Is now in
q hospital in POcatello.
The car ahead was occupied by Mi.
Armstrong, special agent for the
firemen's fund, and c. S. Beebe. The
car, which belonged to Mr.. Arm
strong was not damaged. They had
been having a number of punctures,
and asked Mr.. Ezell when he caught
up with them on the road to go along
and let them have some mending ma
terial if they should have another
puncture.
When almost to Pocatello Mr..
Ezell started to go round the Arm
strong car, just as tire blew out
turning the car directly into his path.
Mr.. Ezells car was complete wreck.
He himself was thrown over the
other car and given heavy fall in
the road. They took him straight
into Pocatello for treatment. Miss
Betty Ezell, Sumner Ezell and A. H.
Simmons went to Pocatello Sunday
to see Mr.. Ezell. and learned that he
would probably be able to come
home Wednesday. Mrs. Ezell is ex-
pected home from trip to Kentucky

WEST TO COME

summer go to the sea. The state
are the proper agency thru which Il
Wild these reservoirs. When this il
done and the states police the waite
TO the point of intake. the waite
situation in Idaho will be foreve
settled and an additional millio
acres will be put under cultivation
The best way to get government
aid, and quickly, is for each far west
ern state to organize reclamation
association and every citizen join and
ay money to become a live member.
County commissioners in Idaho are
authorized to appropriate up to
20 a year for any matter which
may be necessary to the promotion
If plan to secure aid from the U. S.
government for irrigation purposes;
Session Laws 1911, Oh. 8, p. 25, on
petition of 100 taxpayers.
The Idaho Reclamation association
an organization Differed by men of
character, ability and experience, has
adopted this slogan. Store the water
in reservoirs built by our states with
thoro government cooperation, and
not only insure the old water rights
against such conditions as are exist
ing this year, but also use the sur
plus for additional new acreage"
If we had the reservoirs built they
would pay the cost of construction
this year by the amount of money
represented by the loss of our crops
this season. With reservoirs on all
our streams If we do not use the
water one year we will have 1t there
for the next season, which may be
1 dry one. It is better to have the
water bottled up in Idaho than to
have it in the Pacific ocean. The
equalization of water-fow would also
vastly increase the potentiality of
the power systems which supply our
pumping plants, manufacturers, rail
ways, cities and towns with electric
energy.
The-Laaff6 Reclamation association
witt office at PocateHo was not Or
ganized for a year; it intends to stay
on the job until Idaho is reclaimed.
Having no state appropriation, it is
wholly dependent on the people of
the state for support. The bills now
before congress need support. The
big effort is on.
When all the far western states
form an association of states with six
million of people represented by af-
filiation the west will come into it's
own. Plans are being rapidly made
to consummate such an organization
of states at meeting which was
.eld at Salt Lake August IA.
The. quickest way to reclaim the
west is to stand solidly behind the
U. S. reclamation service and back
them to man. The quickest way
lip the U. S. reclamation service
20 get into constructive action is to
work with the big corporations who
have large investments here and in
yite their trained brains, influence
and money to help us, as by helping
us they help themselves; then, with
eleven states organized and six mil
lion of people behind us, when we
approach, our Uncle Samuel, he
ought to be able to see us coming.

The unsuccessful series Of con-

which terminated in the strike order
Saturday night started in Septem.
Der, 1913.
At that time the unions first pro
scented their demands for . new
wage scale to take effect January
1. 1913, when the company's con-
tract with the girls expired
The proposals were sent to Post
master Burleson who is in charge
of all the telephone systems in the
country. Meantime the girls had
taken q referendum vote and deter.
mined to strike in case Burleson
did not grant the increase and rec.
ognize their union.
On the threat Of a nationwide
phone strike Postmaster Burleson
in May recognized the phone girls
union and authorized the company
to Immediately start negotiations
with the girls. The threatened
strike was officially called off June
Is, 1918.
Operators In California and New.
ada were dissatisfied at the slow
action taken by the company and
a strike in those states followed
with the resulting conference Of

A very large proportion of the coun.
ties in the Southern States have adopt.
ed the individual quota system for the
Victory Loan, and expect thereby to
distribute the investments in securi,
ties oYer-Widar ground. By-this- sys-
TEN, every citizen will be assigned a
definite quota which he is expected to
take, just as states and counties have
their quotas. This will be based on
his income and property, and will be
subject to change by local appeals
committee if he feels his quota has
been fixed at too high a figure.
In previous campaigns, counties
which used the individual quota plan
went over the top quickly and by a
large margin, without placing the bur.
den of heavy investments on compar.
atively few patriotic citizens. This
plan makes every man feel certain that
his neighbor also is carrying his share
of the obligation to his country.

DUE TO THEIR MILK DIET
Why Yanks Are Noted for Their Phys
lcal and Moral Courage Is Elk
planned by Dairyman.

American soldiers have displayed
such wonderful physical and moral
courage at the front because they are
from a dairy nation and are milkfed,
Is the conviction of M. D. Mum of st.
Paul, president of the National Dairy
council.
Speaking at the dairy show held in
Columbus, o., the other day, Mr.. Mum
said, "At one time the dairy show very
enormously compared the food value
of milk and meat as being equal. Milk
has just as much nutritive value >as
other foods, but more than that, it con-
tains something other foods do not con-
tain. A quart of milk supplies the es-
sential elements of child growth which
no other food contains"
He continued, saying, last year this
country produced approximately 90 bill
lion pounds, equal to 40 billion quarts
of milk, and yet taking from this the
amount used in condensed milk, butter,
cheese and ice cream there is left only
about glass of milk day for every
person in the United States. Milk
made up 10 per cent Of the American
diet last year.

PAST STILL VITAL IN JAPAN
Why Ancient Heroes Are Able to Ex-

Peoples Minds.

No wonder that Japan's past is a liv-
Ing past, Gertrude Emerson writes in
Asia Magazine. The ancient heroes
are not dead, but exert their subtle
influence through the intimate contacts
OF the daily life Of the people. One
meets them under thousand guises-
as legends imprinted on the common
blue and white towels upon which the
people wipe their hands, as the ever
fresh inspiration for artists in choos-
ing subjects for their paintings in the
commemoration festivities at the count
less temples in the illusions scattered
through the Hundred POEMS famil-
lar to the lips Of every man, woman
ann - in Japan, reappearing In the
cfsiss ssJoh dramas Inherited from
the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
in the popular theaters, and, finally, so
that no one may escape, in the mo
vies." All the really cultural roots of
Japan are buried deep in the past, and
although the Japanese student of to-
day Is thrust unceremoniously into a
modern school system of western der
ivation, his western education sits but
lightly upon him. He never breaks
free of his own inherited influences,
which are peculiarly strong, his own
angle of vision, which still has its
feudal slant.
