was that Christine asked her 20 be

Because she could not get home
that night. and because the little
house had no telephone. she wrote
tho news to her mother and sent a
note TO lie Moyne:

men FLOCK TO SUNDAY
SCHOOLS in CALIFORNIA
Rev. ii. ]. Richards Returns From
California With Stories of Churches
Which Must Turn Away Part of
Crowds to Sunday Services.

People in California are far more
religious than those In Idaho, II one
can judge piety by the attendance at
Sunday services; for Rev. III. j. Rich
ards. who has just returned with mis-
family from months vacation in
southern California reports that the
churches there have to turn people
away on Sundays, and even the tab
ernacles and auditoriums, where some
religious services are held, are just
as crowded and we'll attended.
Mr. Richards was particularly inn
pressed with the attendance of men
and women at Sunday school in the
golden bear state He attended sew
eral churches and found at the Chris
tian church in Long Beach, for ex-
ample, regular Sunday school class
of 500 men. One Sunday, that class
held special service and 1900 men
were present. Rev. Richards is par
ticularly anxious to see American
Fails emulate their example and says;
Let American Falls be known as a
Sunday school town. IL would be u
fine reputation for this town to get.
A week ago last Sunday, Mr. Rich
ards preached in the NJ. E. church AT
Gardina, little suburb of Los Angeles
about the size of American Falls, and
says that the attendance was pro
bably triple~the number who come "a
services here on a Sunday He found
however, that this same lack of in
terest on the part of everybody seem
ed to prevail throughout Idaho, and
has accordingly recommended that
more men and women attend Sunday
| school.

Conservation of the water that is
allowed to escape and leave this state
in the Snake river will solve the wa
ter shortage situation in Idaho for all
time and move should be made with
out further delay to construct reser-
voirs for that purpose. This is the
keynote of an interview given out Sat
urdaay by Major Fred R. Reed, secre-
tary of the Idaho Reclamation associa-
ton, who was in Boise from Poca-
tello. He believes a campaign to Sc
cure the reservoirs should be started
Immediately.
Hold in reservoirs all the water
that runs down the Snake river and its
tributaries every spring and is lost to
Idaho forever and you will solve the
irrigation question of our state for
all time," said Major Reed.
when this is done the irrigated
acres will produce crops that when
converted into dollars will every
year equal the amount of money that
the reservoirs and canals cost.

Can Almost Double Wealth.
THE reclamation of the upper and
] lower Snake river valleys is the big
gest problem in Idaho today.
THE agricultural products of Idaho,
not including livestock, is in round
numbers, 500, 100000 annually. Save
the water that is now wasted every
year by holding it in reservoirs and
you add $75,O00,O0O to our annual
wealth producing power, and probab-
ly more.
The big problem then is to get the
land producing as soon as possible.
Government aid and government con-
troll over the water distribution seems
to be the real solution of this all i'm
portant problem.
by such a plan all decreed water
rights will be fully protected now and
forever, and the surplus will be used
on new land.
The crop losses in Idaho, owing to
the drieset season in 80 years, will be
millions of dollars, oYing to shortage
of water. We had the water, but we
let 1t run down the Snake river and
get away.

THE government project supplied
by the Arrowrock reservoir is pro

government to build them.

to work out the feed and sed pro-
