When you were youngStcr. did

boy has not riskcd his jackknifc or
his choicest marble or such propos-
ition and how often has he repented
of his rash deed when he discovered
what he got in the trade? He gener
ally found that the deal turned out
to the advantage of the one who
made the proposition.
There is little of the gambling
instinct in the blood of nearly every
man, woman and child, but even the
hardned gambler likes to get "rur
for his money" The sight unseen
prop ,sition doesn't appeal to him ir
the least. There are thousands O
people, however, who would be prop
erly indignant if they were accused o
being gamblers, who every day take
chance on the greatest gamblin,
game in the world. And worse tina,
that, they are risking their money OF
a sight unseen" proposition.
When one of the thousands of per
sons who build up and keep up tn
great mail order houses of the coun
try sends his money away to pay 70
some article that he has selected from
the mail order catalogue, he is tax

Reclamation Association Secre-
tay for Farm Discouraged as
Organization Enters Second
Year Of Work

In spite of the somewhat gloomy
outlook for reclamation appropria-
iions as result of shelving numer-
Gus proposals and bills which have
been submitted to congress, Major
Fred Reed, secretary of the Idaho
Reclamation association, is far from
discouraged.
"No such thought as failure has ev-
err entered my mind" Mr.. Reed said
last Friday, upon the occasion of the
Reclamation associations first birth
day anniversary" A cause so big, so
humane and far reaching, a cause
that means so much to every man,
woman and child in irrigated Idaho.
mast succeed as soon as one and all
grab the big idea and get down to
business"
Under the caption, Let's do it Our
selves" Mr.. Reed issued the follow
ing statement:
THE big idea is born that we have
waited too long for George" to do
it, and that, if we want to get any
where with Reclamation, we have got
to pull off our coats, roll up our
sleeves and say, Lets US Do It."
"The Idaho Reclamation is now ov-
er year old. Realizing .on the state
that the only way to be of practical
service to the citizens of Idaho was
to arouse their interest in this vitality
important subject, Reclamation, the
association has labored earnestly and
systematically with that end as the
goal of its endeavors.
The seed has not been sown in
barren ground and today there is sub
.stantial evidence of thoughtful and
earnestness and determination in all
communities, large and small, to do
something to help themselves, and il
is this idea, whipped into practical
shape and organized, that will prove
our salvation and success.
when a great idea, such as Great.
ing wedding of land and water 70,
the upbuilding of our country and the
prosperity of all, becomes fixed in the
minds of all the thinking people, We
win, always have and always will.
"By the united efforts of the com
munity, the county, and the state
practically organized, and eliminating
every factor except the big idea, tn,
united people, working on so right
eous a cause as Reclamation, mus
win.
"This is what the Idaho Reclama
ton association is going to accom-
lish."
