TRUCK DEALER FINDS OUT
WHERE THE PEOPLE LILY.

A Maxwell truck dealer, in analyz-
ing the field in America for his prod
uct, dug out the following interest
ing information about the relative
population of country and city, and
the cost of keeping horses:
IF the American farmer will con-
tinue to purchase trucks and trac-
( tors it will lower the cost of feed
or increase the price of milk prod
| ucts, without increasing the cost of
feed.
Government statistics show that
it takes five acres of ground to keep
a horse year, and of that $50 days
the average horse is idle 1872 days,
but still eating. The truck and trac-
tor eliminate horses and get their
feed from under the ground. 1t
doesn't take any human energy to
make horses, but it requires thous-
ands of men to make trucks and
tractors. The more people in the
city, the better the farmer is off
from the fact that all the city
dwellers have TO come to the farmer
for what they want.
There are thirty million horses
in the United States that can be
eliminated by trucks and tractors;
thus releasing $50 millions of acres
of land that will raise feed for cat
tile and people.
AS proof of this statement, in
1880 70 per cent of the people lived
on the farm and 80 per cent in the
city. At present 80 per cent live on
the farm and 70 per cent in the CITY,
Compare your prices on farm prod
ucts in 1880 with today's. When
you know 81 per cent of all the au-
tomobiles are owned in the farming
communities and only 3S per cent in
the city, it shows that the more peo-
pie in the city, the better for the
farmer.
Buying trucks and tractors is
not only patriotic duty but a dollar
and cents proposition with every
farmer. Look over the different
farmers in your community and see
how many of them have ever dis
carded their trucks and tractors af-
ter having once had them. If they
are a paying investment for the big
farmer, they will make the smaller
farmer big, for all big farmers were
once small, but their judgment and
foresight made them big, 80 per
cent of the big farmers use trucks
and tractors"

was appointed to place a checker at
the polls of that ward to take down
the names of voters, so that in the
afternoon the cars could go after
all the rest.
Judge Andersen presented in a
logical way several dominating
points in favor of the paving bonds.
In the first place, he said, all prop
erty adjacent to paving would go up
in value and consequently draw a
higher assessment valuation and pay
an increased tax. The increase of
value caused by the improvement
would in large measure pay back
to the city the actual money ex-
pended to create the value. He point
ed to other towns of the Snake riv-
-er valley which were walking away
from Blackfoot, the oldest of them
all. He asked what Blackfoot's bus
mess would be like il it had not been
paved, now that the traffic had so
enormously grown. The farmers, he
said, were heartily in favor of good
roads in Blackfoot so that they
might draw their heavy loads in with
one team of horses. He said they
did not like the idea Of getting
stuck with load after pulling it all
the way to the city limits on good
country roads.
And finally he pounded home the
fact that most of the money to be
expended for paving on these bonds
would be spent in the city and go
back into circulation here where 1t
Is needed.
Editor Byrd Trego of The Repub-
lican addressed the meeting on the
general theory of preparedness for
prosperity that seems certain to come

ever, is only very remotely possible
in the opinion Of officials here.
Apparently, it has been decided
this government in this settlement
this time will not invoke the A. B.
c.. governments as conferees. In
stead it will follow the rule that If
the regime does not interfere with
the life and property interests of
citizens of the United States it. will
be recognized.
A peaceful outcome is indicated by
the fact that the dispatches today
from American consuls and naval Of
ficers in Mexican waters declare that
all is quiet.
The personnel of the new govern
ment follows:
General Adolfo De La Huerta, pro-
visional president; General Salvador
AlvaradO, minister of finance; Gen
eral Plutraco Gales, minister of
war; Alonzo Toore Diaz, minister of
state and interior.
Senior Diaz belongs to the old Diaz
family but General De La Huerta has
no family connection with the
former President Huerta. Interest
ing, as indicating the closenesss of
the returns between General Pablo
Gonzales and General Obregon, it
was said here that Diaz is close
friend of Gonzales and was sug-
gested by Obregon for his present
post
The new provisional president is
now at Hermosillo, the capital of
Sonora, where the present revolution
was organized. He will proceed to
Mexico City very shortly, according
to the revolutionary mission officers
here.

platform to whom he will apply for
a strong plank condemning the trea-
ty and league plan. If defeated in
the committee, the fight will be car
ried to the convention itself, where
an effort will be made to commit
the party irrevocably against the
treaty in it's entirety.
Reports which came from Mon
days session of the committees con-
vention arrangements in Chicago
greatly disturbed Senator Borah and
Others who stood with him in oppo-
sition to the treaty. These reports
were to the effect that it has been
practically decided that the commit
tee instead of condemning the league
would indorse the Republican major
ity for it's stand on the league re-
servations.
Senator Borah declared himself
not satisfied with such an arrange
ment. In his opinion, the treaty
and the league are dead and the
country believes them dead. To give
them endorsement in the party plat
form with reservations" would
have the effect of giving new life to
them, in the senator's opinion He
is unable to see why the Republican
party should do this, in view of the
fact that President Wilson intends
to force the Democratic convention
to endorse the treaty.

ed to reach men in the most mac
cessible places. Any fifteen ex-serv-
ice men can form their own post by
getting together and applying to ma
tional headquarters for application
blanks. It is believed that no locali-
ty is SO thinly settled that it cannot
scare up fifteen former fighters who
can band together for social and Le-
gion purposes.
Incidentally, the campaign will
reach into the far corners of the
earth. Already the Legion has posts
in fourteen foreign countries, and
these outposts of Americanism are
expected to join in the push" and
extend the Legion's frontiers.

A NOVEL STUNT
IN ADVERTISING CARS

Probably the smallest automobile
now in service is that one built by
Fritz Reuter- of San Antonio, Tex,
who operates large auto repair
shop there. Mr.. Reuter- has a young
son, and he was prompted to build
the miniature car by request on
the part of Reuter- Junior some two
years ago. The machine has only re-

| to the Snake river valley. He used
the proposed American Falls reser-
voir as an indication Of great things
to be expected. "The millions spent
on that project cannot help but slop
all over the surrounding country
he said, "and Blackfoot, only fifty
six miles from the seat Of operations,
will have to be speeded up and pre-
pared for that great influx of de-
! mand for business service. Con-
struction would start in the fall of
1921, he said.
Mr.. Trego pointed to the value to
this community of other improve
ments, such as the American Falls
canal, and also to the ease with
which construction work is done
here in our soft soil.
Mr.. Merrill, speaking again for
the farmers, told the Blackfoot bus
mess men that he hoped they would
pave. He said he had never been In
the habit of swearing, but that on
each occasion when he had hauled
load of produce up to the city's
limits on Bridge street and struck
the city's lumpy street he was forced
to "say word or two"
1--WE have voted 100000 for
county roads and we have some good
roads to compare with your streets,
and that, of course, makes the con-
trast more striking" said Mr.. Mer-
rilI. II think we'd be in favor Of
voting another 100000 for more
good roads of the same kind
To Train Local Band ,
1t was the sentiment of the men
who expressed themselves on the
band proposition that the best plan
would be to develop a new organiza-
ton using young boys, for material.
To hire a leader and also players
was considered too expensive.
Harry l.. Moller, manager of the
Orpheum and Isis theatres, made
live suggestions on this subject, tell
ing the men present that he could
possibly find suitable leader who
was looking for just such place as
Blackfoot to settle in, and who
would take pride in developing
boys band.
Mr.. Seeger stated that a man
known to Mr.. Carter of the Broad
way market might be secured, who
was qualified to teach musical work
in the high school, and inasmuch as
the school board might cooperate in
the matter and give the band leader
a position in the school system, he
moved that the chairman appoint a
committee to carry out the senti-
ments Of the meeting This commit
tee would get in touch with leaders
and If possible secure one for both
the school work and the city band
work u
Chairman H. B. Daniels immedi-
ately appointed on this committee
Superintendent E. A. Melton of the
Blackfoot schools, Ernest Pearson, a
member of the board of trustees,
and F. E. Seeger, to represent the
business men,
The meeting closed with good feel
ing evident on every side, after a
standing vote in favor of the paving &
bonds and of the band. President
Daniels of the board OF governors
urged all members to attend the
weekly meetings to be held Monday
evenings in the new rooms.
