JUDGE COWEN GUSTS
BUTTE COUNTY OFFICIALS

ARCO.-The county of Butte is
this week without sheriff or pro-
bate apudge, both Sheriff W. S.
Wrighton and Judges Gus Bertsch
having last week been removed from
office by Judge Cowen, on complaint
brought, charing these two officials
with receiving fees and mileage il
legally, of which charge they were
found guilty. ~
The cases have been brought up
since last June and have been the
foremost topic of discussion in this
county. With the officers removed,
the coroner of the county, Gus Helm,
is filling the vacancies until the COM
missioners meet and fill The vacant
offices by appointment.
The results in these cases, again
emphasize the fact that this is a law
governed country and not man gov
erned country Officers elected By
the people are entirely governed by
the law in their official acts. The
sheriff's star or the title of Judge
gives no man more authority than
the law iteself.

honors but did not carry a cash prize.
The goods had been machine sewed
and in other respects it was built
like the first one excepting that the
lace pins used on the front of the
tent were made of willows instead
of birch limbs. It was the handi-
work of George Tendoy. Used as a
lining on the inside of the tent was
a long belt of canvas on which we're
drawn the pictures of Indian horse
men and various kinds Of game. In
quiry failed to bring out any infor-
nation as, to who had drawn the pic
lures. Other articles within the
tent were a beautiful squaw saddle,
and a gown decorated with large
number Of beautiful shells, large
elkskin saddle blanket fringed and
decorated with six colors of beads,
various kinds Of bags, gloves, mecca
sins, leggings and other articles of
apparel were in evidence. If the
art work by the unknown persons
were considered part of the exhibit
1T would offset the handiwork on the
other tent and probably entitle it to
first prize, but it was not claimed
that the drawings were a part of the
tent and they were treated as side
product by someone whose skill was
hardly to be credited to the persons
who had made the tent.

The fair association offered a
prize of $40 for the best tepee erect
ed by the Indians in the village at
the fair grounds to be on exhibit
during the fair. The suggestion was
made by Mrs. Byrd Trego and the
management appointed her to judge
the tents. After a careful examina-
ton of the tents themselves and the
handiwork of the owners that were
on display within the tent she made
the award to the first tent at the
south end Of the line belonging to
Douglas Littlejohn. Much of the
work of the tent and the manufac-
tured articles within it were the pro-
duct of his wife Dodzeno Littlejohn.
The tepee was avery large one made
of white materials and hand sewed.
It was supported by fifteen lodge
poles stood in a circle and crossing
at the top and the ventilator was
supported by two other lodge poles.
The flaps controlling the ventilation
were held up by the peaks of the
poles, each of them being stood on
slant so that they passed on the
outside at the top Of all the other
poles. Moving the foot Of the two
ventilator poles toward each other.

apart closes the ventilator. At the
front Of the tent where the lacing
comes it was all fastened together
with birch pins about half an inch
in diameter and ten inches long. The
pins stood on the horizontal in the
goods and were in column up and
down the front of the tent, all Of the
same length, all trimmed the same
way, all possessing the same amount
of bark and adding to the beauty Of
the work. On the inside of the tent
was straw and blankets for bedding. \

MARKETS BULLETIN
REPORTS BIG HAY CROP

The latest crop summary issued by
julius H. Jacobsen, field agent of
the department of agriculture, shows
total of 100000 tons of hay in
Idaho, an increase over the 1919 crop
OF 413,O0O tons, says the weekly
Markets Bulletin. We presume that
approximately 100000 tons of this
output is alfalfa and if it could be
moved at SIS per ton it would add
$50, 100000 to the wealth of the
state of Idaho.
Owing to the manner in which the
Federal Reserve bank applied the
emergency brake just as the Idaho
crops were ready to move, we wit
messed serious decline in wool val
ues and sheep and cattle, which in
turn was followed by a serious stag
nation in the movement of hay. An
other disagreeable feature is in the
rates which alfalfa hay must now
sustain before reaching the eastern
markets. In 1918 the Missouri river
rate was 1882 per ton. In 1919 the
Interstate Commerce commission
granted them rate of $11.90 and
again in 1920 they were granted a
rate of $3.50 a ton. Kansas City
and Omaha are quoting hay at $22
and $23 per ton, baled and delivered.
At $22 per ton in Kansas City the
idaho farmer would just have suf-
ficient returns to pay the freight
and baling expenses.
Unfortunately, there is small
amount of weevil in southern Idaho,
but SO far as we know, the fields
are not infected sufficiently to notice
the effect of any ravages from this
pest. Nevertheless, it has been found
in most of the counties in the south
ern part Of the state, also in Malheur
County, Oregon. This has resulted
in a general quarantine against Ida
no by all the neighboring states
which, together with the sluggish
market in the east, has developed in
this, one of our leading industries,
problem of the first magnitude.

BOOZE QUOTA NINE GALLONS


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS f
wines and liquors in the United
states in 1919 was less per capita
tnan during any year since 1870, ac-

NEW NORTH DAKOTA
LAW INCREASE GAME

BISMARK, N. Ovid ducks
and prairie chickens are more plenti-
full in North Dakota that at any time
since the state was veritable hunt
ers' paradise, according to George NJ.
HOgue, secretary of the state fish and
game commission.
Mr.. Hogue recently returned from
tour of the northern section of
North Dakota where cheap farm
lands are attracting heavy immigra-
ton. He found that thousands of
wild ducks had nestled and raised
their broods on the streams and little
lakes with which the region abounds
and declares he could hardly walk
quarter of mile on the prairies
without flushing a covey of prairie
chickens .0.."
"The increase in game BIRDS" said
Mr.. Hogue, has been aided by the
migratory bird laws and the recent
treaty with Canada restricting
slaughter. Formerly hunters killed
in the spring when the birds were
mating as we'll as in the fall. Be-
cause of this indiscriminate shoot
ing, ducks and geese in their norths
ward migrations in the spring passed
on to Canada. Only the blue and
green wing teal continued to nest
south Of the international line. Now
the birds realize that North Dakota
is spring sanctuary, and the north
ern part of the state is one great
nesting ground for canvasbacks, mall
lards, red heads and bluebills.
"The increase in prairie chickens
is surprising and is due, believe, to
the law prohibiting the use of dogs
in hunting"

TWIN FALLS PLEDGING
FUNDS FOR NEW RAILROAD

TWIN FALLS.-Work of raising
the Twin Falls quota of the $500, 900
bonus promised for the completion
of the Idaho Central railroad. was
started in earnest yesterday morn
ing by nine committees. The total
amount pledged Monday was 5000,
making total Of $29,155 pledged
by Twin Falls people. The amount
to be raised here is $4,000. "
Directors of the drive anticipate
no trouble in raising the entire
amount and expect to put Twin Falls
over the top within short time.
Nearly every firm or business man
solicited yesterday responded with
gratifying subscription and last night
drive leaders were enthusiastic over
the interest Of the residents Of the
city.

Cool Weather
Unfavorable For
Maturing Crops

BOISE.-Decidedly cool weather
for the season prevailed turnout the
week ending September 20 in ali
sections of the state, but there was
SO much cloudiness at night that
radiation was retarded and no dam
aging frosts occurred. There was far
more than the normal amount OF
cloudiness and rain was of daily &C.
currence during the greater portion
of the week. The amount of rain
fall was we'll above normal in all
sections and in many localities of the
western counties and the panhandle
the total for the week was heavy.
Snow, the first considerable amount
for this season, fell on the higher
slopes and ridges on the twenty,third
and twenty-fourth.
The COOL cloudy, wet weather was
unfavorable for the ripening of all
late crops. Corn matured very
slowly and all garden and truck
crors, except celery, were at stand
still But the considerable increase
in soil moisture was very helpful to
meadows, pastures and ranges, and
it was also highly beneficial to early
soWn winter wheat, which is growing
nicely There can be no doubt that
the plentiful and we'll distributed
rainfall has greatly improved soil
conditions and will make it far easier
to pillow and fit for fall sown grain,
but it interfered seriously with all
manner of farm work this week.
Threshing and haying were stopped
and fruit packing was much delayed.
In the sugar beet and commercial
potato districts the work of digging
was slowed up or stopped entirely.
In some sections the roads were
greatly improved by the rains, but in
others enough rain fell to make the
roads bad. Pastures and ranges are
much improved and abundant fall
feed seems assured.

Beets, Politics and Progress
By Byrd Trego
Chapte XVI.

| there were no brokers, no specula.
tors, no investors, no capitalists, nc
money lenders, a good many school,
children would stay at home from
school this fall because there is nc
one to- loan the money to build the
addition to the school house. On the
occasions spoke Of, Marshall Field
sent his agents into the stock ex-
change to sell his liquid assets, to gel
money to help Chicago banks and
Chicago business institutions with
temporary loans to tide them over
disaster, thereby keeping business
going. BY protecting the wholesaler
he protected the retailer. By pro-
tecting the retailer he protected the
customer. The working man bought
his goods of the store on thirty days
credit until his salary came in. BY
protecting factories he kept the
working men employed and kept the
salary checks coming to them. BY
keeping factories going the factories
were able to pay their freight bills
and keep freight moving, and when
freight keeps moving, the mines and
lumber mills can keep on making
sales and shipments and keep their
men employed in the mines and mills
and woods and the people who do all
these different kinds of work can buy
wheat, and pork and potatoes and
sugar and all the other things that
we common people produce and we
can get our money and in turn we
can buy the products of the factories
to use and wear and it keeps the
whole circle moving. 1t keeps child
rem from going hungry and it keeps
old folks from getting cold. If you
were alive at that time you probably
had more to eat and more to wear
and more comfort by reason Of the
fact that Marshall Field staked his
private fortune to back the business
men Of Chicago when the whole
chamber of commerce, made up of
wealthy men and big business men,
shook their heads and said they
would not do it.
Was Great Hero
By that venture Marshall Field
saved the day. By that stroke he
made more friends than he made
when he put up the $S,000,O0O for
the Field museum. By that big ven
ture he made more friends than at
any other time in his life, and his
life had been filled with big ventures
for the people at large, and for his
customers in particular. Marshall
Fields stores have rule that their
sales people must never mis-repre-
sent the articles they are selling. It
has always been considered an abso-
slutely reliable firm built up by an
absolutely honest man. In conse-
quence of all these acts which have
spoken of his business prospered and
people turnout the land have hunted
up the Marshall Field stores so they
could buy of them. You may wonder
what all this has to do with sugar
beets in Bingham county or with
your business affairs in this county,
but here is an opportunity for you
to do some thinking.

What are Liquid Assets?

Liquid assets are those forms OF
property that can always be sold
readily for cash. Assets are any
form of property.
If you have million dollars worth
of property, that is your assets; II
you have nothing but pocket knife
that pocket knife is your assets. A
pocket knife would not be a liquid
asset. A diamond ring would be.
You could always sell that for some
thing. If you had gold nugget that
would be a liquid asset because It
would always command good value
and would be salable. If you mad
government bonds, that would be a
LIQUID asset. You could always con-
vert it into money at moments
notice. There are state bonds'
county bonAs, city bonds, school dis
trict bonds, irrigation bonds, railroad
bonds and hundreds of other kinds.
Those that are always salable are
considered gilt-edge because their
values do not f1uctuate much. Men
who engage in business involving
considerable risk and where they are
likely to need large sums of money
to use at different times during the
year and less money at other times,
usually form the habit of investing
in securities or bonds of some kind
that are always salable at minutes
notice. That class of investment or
property is spoken of as liquid assets
The man in business who decides
that he must have large sum OF
money right away usually sells some
of his liquid assets to get the money.
The securities are bought and sold on
the board of trade or stock exchange
and there are always men with
money ready to buy or sell. They
spend their lives studying trade and
financial conditions and by their buy
ing and selling, they make or lose
money according to whether they
had good understanding of bust
ness conditions or not. The man
who spends his life buying and sell
ing securities on the stock exchange
does not produce bushel of wheat
nor a pound of pork, but his opera
lions act as a reservoir to keep the
market steady and that acts as
great evener for the mass of people
who are producing wheat and pork
and other things. If there was no.
body engaging in that kind of bust
ness, there would be no market for
the different kinds of bonds / have
spoken of, excepting as people went
out and hunted for somebody with
money lying idle.
Developing Stock Exchange
That is the way the stock ex-
changes came to be developed. Men
having money to invest spent their
time around certain places and there
they men the men having something
they wished to sell. If your school
district wants to build an addition to
the schoolhouse and has to sell bonds
to get hte money, some stock broker
or some speculator buys the bonds
and Won are glad to sell them. II

Kenneth Green, 1925 North Kansas

blame in connection with the deaths
Tuesday night of Lenier Trowbridge
and w. Gaien Sanders, by a coroner's
jury in the court of Topeka. The two
men died from the drinking of an
alcohol mixture furnished by Green.
Green. who is 81 years old, nearly
broke down when he was placed on
the witness stand. His lip trembled
and once his voice sank to a whisper.
Then he wiped the tears from his eyes
with his handkerchief, collected him
self and went ahead with his story.
He testified that he took the alleged
70 tai drink from a jar in his fathers
barber supply house in Lincoln, Neb.
The jar sat on a barrel labeled 'alco-
hol," he said. He declared that after
his return to Topeka he conversed
with Trowbridge and Sanders in the
yard office of the Union Pacific; that
Trowbridge took the bottle away, re-
turning with the statement that he
had had it tested and that the test
mad Teen satisfactory. The three men
then mixed the connection with grape
juice and ginger ale and drank part
of it. Trowbridge and Sanders then
filled a small grape juice bottle with
the liquid and departed. he said.
