 night, and gathered in the Jefferson theatre yesterday at o'clock for the formal opening of the convention.
 Col William P. Screws of Montgom- cry called the convention to order and

 Alabama is proud to welcome you"
 said the governor. She is proud to
 have you because you have chosen one
 of her cities as the first meeting place
 for your famous organizations reuni on.
 We are proud to entertain you for
 what you have done for us, and we are proud to welcome you for what you have before you. You have fought the battles of war, you now have before you the battles of peace. Many of the Rainbow units, as in Alabama, consisted of National Guard troops. Alabama is proud of her citi- zen-soldiery, and places them on top of the roll of the Rainbow division even as we know each of you are placed on top of the roll by the people back home.
 But we know there can be no dis pute that the Rainbow division will occupy the first place on the roll of the divisions who fought in the late war.
 i PROBLEMS OF PEACE We are now facing the problems of peace In sections, bolshcvism, anarchy and l. w. w. propaganda is thrusting l it's head forth. It is your duty to figh. the battles of peace as you did the battles of war.

 John R. Hornady, vice president of the City Commission, was introduced by the chairman.
 The Kaiser entered the war with q running ear and withered arm" said MT. Hornady. He came out of the war with running feet, a running army and withered hopes.

AN EASTERN VIEW OF THE
MAINE ELECTION.

Much has been said Of the recent
Maine election, when the Republi-
can ticket made clean sweep by
an unprecedented majority, as indi-
eating the sentiment Of the country
in regard to certain great questions
now confronting the American peo-
pie. We Of the far west have been
told or have read of the Importance
Of the result as it Affects the nation,
but being so far from the immediate
scene of action the real significance
of the result is lost somewhat in
perspective. Therefore, the views
that come from the east itself are
of especial interest.
The Sun and New York Herald,
for instance, points out that "there
has been no occasion when the re-
suit of state election was so clearly
and directly a verdict upon Wilson,
ism as that of Monday"
1t is also shown that the issue
was clearly defined-that of Will
sonism and the league Of nations
and that the people were ade-

WELCOME

The people Of Blackfoot extend
the glad hand of welcome to the
thousands of visitors within its
gates. We hope that the time spent
in viewing the resources of Bing-
ham county as exemplified at the
Bingham county fair will be well
worth the time and that the enter
tainment provided will serve to add
zest and pleasure to the visit. We
are proud OF our city and the prog
ress it Is making. We are proud
of our county and it's splendid rec
ord or achievement. We are proud
of our people, who have carved a
young empire from out the desert.
We are particularly proud at this
moment Of the exposition organized
for the advancement and education
of the people Of the community,
which has developed as result of
the cooperation Of all active fac
tors of the community. We trust
that a desire to get better &C
quainted with us will be the re-
suit.
Again, Welcome!

quately informed of the question at
stake. Two members of the Will
son cabinet and the Democratic
candidate for vice president partici-
pated in the campaign, presenting
the Wilson side of the question.
Therefore the Sun and Herald
concludes:
I'm all the history of American
Politics there is little that is so yari-
ously impressive as the answer from
Maine which thus links with the
very beginnings of wisconsin the
beginning of its end. The mere nu-
merical result is so phenomenal as to
tax the vocabulary of election COM
ment for the right descriptive words,
1T is more than an indication of the
trend of public sentiment regarding
the Wilson league of nations; it is
a downturning of the thumbs that
decree death to that continuance of
delusion, vanity and ambition. It
is more than landslide; it is an
avalanche. 1t is more than a mani
festation of local feminine intelli-
gence which is able to see the false-
hood of the claim that the Wilson
league means peace; it is promise
of what intelligent women every
where in the union will say when
they are told that they must vote
for the league supergovernment If
they want to. keep the world at peace
and their sons and brothers and hus-
bands out Of foreign wars concern
ing only alien interests. Wonder
grows as we contemplate the d.
and far reaching signifi-
canoe Of the Maine vote against Will
sonism."

ing privilege to the stockman or by
working part of the year on an ir-
rigated farm. BY the time the stock
man buys watering privileges and
pays for grazing permits to use such
grass and weeds as there are left on
the ranges and dry farms, ard pays
the bounty On the coyotes that are
killed, stands the los of animals
from coyotes that are not killed, and
then pays the irrigated farmer his
price for some hay to feed his ami
mails the rest of the year, he is all
but broke no matter how high the
price Of the animals he has to sell.
Neither the Pharoahs nor Joseph
nor the department of agriculture
has handed down any solution Of the
problems, so behold I am raised up
out of obscurity to point out the way.
The dry farmer who has erected
a woven wire fence to keep the rab-
bits out, let him reverse his gear and
make cunningly devised inlets to let
all the varmints in but fix 1t so the
inlets will only work one way. Stop
poisoning the squirrels and rabbits
and SOW grain to attract them and
support them within the great en-
closures. Let the stockmen quit
paying bounties for dead coyotes and
go to buying them alive, paying
special attention to securing litters
of coyote pups. Keep the coyotes
within the great enclosures of this
kind and in the other great enclos-
ures made to keep stock in, fenced
SO tight as to keep predatory ami
mails out. When people have rabbit
drives either drive them into the
great enclosures where the coyotes
range or kill them and keep them in
cold storage to feed the coyotes when
squirrels and rabbits are scarce
within the enclosures. Instead of
bounding the coyote to death, keep
linn fat and happy on his range. In
stead of killing the coyote promis-
;uously at all times, including the
hummer months when the pelt is
learly worthless, sort them up in
winter when the furs are at their
'est, and slay those not wanted for
utures and for breeding. Owing to
he rapid disappearance Of the fur
earring animals, coyote pelts are
cling at extravagant prices with
respects of remaining at high tide.
Teach the boy scouts anil forest
angers the art Of locating coyote
ems when pups are small, pay them
'ell for their catch, and as they are
hinned out in the open range, the
tockmen can come back in greater
afety. II
Instead of trying to see how rapidly
e can exterminate the coyote lust
hen the fur-bearing animals are
from the face of the
arth, try to see how well we can re-
aim and perpetuate him. The
'undup and harvest Of skins can be
