With Idaho hay quarantined by
neighboring states, and sheepmen
more than So per ton, and with The
biggest hay crop in the history of
the state, it looks like the man who
is holding hay for which he can get
from $40 to $50 per ton now, for
higher prices, is taking chances of
selling it for much less. The predic-
ton has been made that hay will sell
in Idaho for less than $40 per ton be-
fore spring. Specializing in $40 20
$50 hay is like specializing in wheat
at 81 per bushel or land at $3.50 per
acre. 1t may go higher, but it takes
a lot OF money to swing" it and the
man who does it is taking chances.
Every state and every farming sec
ton of the west has the largest hay
crop in it's history this year so there
is nothing to keep up the price of hay
but speculation.

Canada is solving two problems at
once She is finding employment for
war veterans and securing teachers
for her schools, by training overseas"
men for school teachers. Recently
Canada granted diplomas to 200 meu
who bad served with the army over
seas, and gave them positions as
school teachers at good salaries. The
men like the work have secured edu-
cational advantages at public expense
and are helping to educate the young.
The United States might profit by
Canada's experiment and train some
of the crippled veterans who are an
able to do manual work, for school
teachers The thought is worth f.n
investigation and trial

The proposal of an English church
conference to unite all protestant
churches meets with general disap-
prevail from the sectarians, who see
in this move, a lot of ministers and
other church workers thrown out Of
their positions. Consolidation of
churches all working for the same
end, would naturally reduce the cost
to the consumer" just as dispensing
with competing railroad or other
transportation facilities reduces the
cost of operation, but it will never
be done. Churches are not founded
on that principle. If they were there
would be but one church.
1t was suggested that the reason
A. G.. Townley, head of the nonparti-
zan league, did not visit Lewiston and
Moscow to speak Saturday and Sun
day, as scheduled, was because he had
probably begun serving his sentence
for disloyalty to his government dur
ing the war. This is mistake. Mr..
Townley has not begun serving his
sentence. He has taken another APP |
peal and will fight the case in court |
just as long as people will subscribe |
$40 per head per year for his pur |
pose.
Governor FairchiId, nonpartizau |
nominee for chief executive OF Idaho,
is probably a good farmer. but that
does not mean he would be good gov
ernor. There are some good govern
ors. who would make rank failures u
farming. Success in one vocation
does not naturally mean success IN
the other.

pertinent in it's efforts to solve the
house problem here.
