IN FRANCE

Drowned In the mud of Sunny
France
Why, home Is not a circumstance
AS far as mud and transforms go,
With here and there a fake of snow.
! 1t rains in torrents, rains in gobs,
And almost browns US poor wet
slobs;
1t pours all morning, night and
noon
A shining day would be boon.
They're wringing wet-shoes, sox
and shirt
It's damn good thing we don't wear
skirts,
For with all the mud that we wade
thru
We'd surely catch our death of "iu. :"
We're soaked thru slickers, coats
and pants
Drowned in the mud of Sunny
France.
Back in the days before the war
In eighteen eight-three or four
An old man here was heard to say
They once had one whole shining
day.
1t shone when Jacques arose at
morn,
Was shining yet (tho a bit forlorn)
When Jeanne prepared the MONDAY
meal
For Pierre and Henri and Lucille;
1t shone till vespers-then went
down
Upon a much-astonished town
Whose populace acclaimed the day
As il saint had passed that way.
And, since, the fathers tell their
young
When comments at the rain are flung
That "'tis not always rainy here"-
And then recall the happy year
.Immortalized by lore and song
When the sun stayed shining all day
long.
If, when the roll is called for me
don't reply-don't blame the sea,
The boche, the "f1u' or old age or
We've something here that beats the
Dutch;
And if fail to stand retreat;
Or don't show up when it's time to
eat
Or just amt there-you'll know,
perchance.
I'm drowned in the mud of Sunny
France.

made the remark, that it would not
be two years before some of them
would be going around holding up
their coat tails, and now almost be-
fore two months have passed it came
true, and how foolish some people
can be, and how little they feel when
they think the matter over, and see
how they missed the mark.
Mr.. Johnson was so patient about
the matter, and even handed them
the water plant on a silver platter,
wanted to give it to them, yes | say
give it to us, and this is no lie, for
want to tell you, that the people
of Blackfoot could have owned the
plant and never had to invest one
cent, the revenue of the plant would
have raid for it in ten years, and not
only that, the revenue of the plant
could have been increased hand
somely long before it was paid for,
h, Oh, do you hear that groan,
Thv are some people so near sighted.
Now | am in favor of buying the
plant on the higher figure, and then
we will be money way ahead, for if
we do not, the good Lord only knows
to what extent we will be held up,
and that before many months have
gone by, and some of the very peo-
pie who voted against the PROPOSE
ton, who talked against it, slung all
the mud they could lay hands to, will
We first in line advocating the pur-
chase at figure from two to five
hundred thousand, and some of these
very guys call themselves financiers.
Say do you know what financier
is? Well he is not the one that
knocks, he is the man who boosts,
ready to help with his money and
can see good things without having
to be struck by lightning to cause
him to act.
If we purchase at the present
price of the additional $4,000 or
1000 it will be cheap at that and
we will never be sorry that We did so.
In talking with one of the city
dads here, he informs me that this
place owns its own plant, and that
it had paid for itself many times
over, why not the same with Black
foot. Now don't be foolish, and
place ourselves at the mercy Of some
one to hold US up for lot of money,
but buy and do it quick.
Now something else that I have

good thing for us to get away from

APRIL CROP REPORT

ldahO's winter wheat crop has
survived the winter in better condi-
ton than it has for the past five
years according to the report of
Julius H. Jacobson, field agent for
Idaho for the federal bureau of crop
| estimates. The condition is SO per
cent normal compared with 81 per
| cent last year and the ten year aver
age of 96 per cent. The past winter
has been exceptionally favorable in
all sections of the state From
| Washington county north to Idaho
county, Latah county and beyond,
they have had abundance of moisture
and the soil is well soaked. Over
in Camas, Bannock and Bear Lake
| counties the wheat was still covered
with snow the first of the month,
butt prospects were good There is
decreased winter wheat acreage in
the upper Snake river counties, all
in good condition, however.
For the United States the abnor-
mally high condition of 99.S per
cent is reported, making possible a
yield of S37,00O,OOO bushels if no
unfavorable conditions develop be-
tween now and harvest time.
The condition of rye in this state
April l is Sc per cent normal COM
pared with 81 per cent last year.
While the crop is not considered i'm
portant in this state, still the acre
age has greatly increased. Since
early last fall there has been lively
demand for rye seed.
Reports of correspondents indicate
that the farm labor supply is SO per
cent Of normal compared with 70
per cent a year ago. The demand
or farm labor is 100 per cent normal
compared with IS per cent a year
ago. Altho wages are high, nearly
all sections report difficulty in Sc
curing help. .r-

Anderson then told something of the
social life Of Fort Rosecrans.
After these addresses some over
100 people partook of the good re-
freshments; cake, sandwiches, coffee
and ice cream, and a general good
time was had. This was only an
other instance of tht appreciation the
folks here have of the sacrifice and
work of the men who were willing
to face the foe.
The soldiers and sailors, who were
guests of honor were Arthur Ander-
son, Joel, Albert and Walter Burk-
