ORGANIZATION OF
FARM BUREAU Is
MEETING SUCCESS
Workers Are Well Re-
ceived. Farmers Are
Helping

The organizers for the farm
bureau working the different dis
tricts of the county are meeting with
unexpected success. The roads were
bad at the beginning, but are i'm
proving rapidly and the work is go
ing forward splendidly. About Is
per cent of the farmers interviewed
are taking membership in Nle re-
organization of the farm bureau and
the directors feel greatly encouraged
over the response given to their ef-
forts. The best farmers in the county
are working for it and find the most
reasons why it should be endorsed
and heartily supported.
The committees are receiving a
great deal. CT nelp from the farmers
themselves in this matter by re-
spending promptly when the commit
tee arrives to see them and many of
them are taking every opportunity to
bring it to the attention of their
friends and neighbors. This work
has passed the experimental stage
and it has passed the talking stage,
arguments not being in order any
longer among those who are well in
formed, but like the liberty bond
drives and the victory bond drive, it
is not a question Of it being a good
thing, but just a question of every
body going in and doing their part
and making it an accomplished sue
cess and doing it easily and quickly.

Few Changes Made
in State Jobs ed
eral Jobs Open

BOISE. 1t has been announced
by the state administration that there
will be- no changes in places to be
filled on the part of state employees
who hold their offices by appoint
ment who have made good on the
job There are horde of hungry Of
flee seekers who are asking for places
on account of services rendered, but
it is felt that those already holding
down the places and. who are making
good are better qualified and more
deserving than anyone else would be.
The announcement of this policy by
the administration will have the eff
feet of relieving the pressure being
brought to bear from many quarters
to find jobs for the faithful.
John Eagleson, who was not can
didate for reelection as state treas
urer, Will be succeeded by D. F.
Banks, while Robert n. Bell as state
mine inspector. will be succeeded by
Stewart Campbell.
A new commissioner of finance is
to be appointed and with those eX-
ceptions few changes will be made
There will be number of tempor-
ary jobs open during the legislature
for committee clerks, stenographers,
door keepers and other attaches.
There are number of post offices
to be filled in the state and local
political leaders are being petitioned
for these positions.
There are several federal places 20
fill now occupied by Democrats, who
will have to find new jobs along about
the middle of March.
Governor Davis is being spoken as
possibility for cabinet appoint
ment, during the Harding administra-
tion. Should this be done it would
mean that c. G. Moore of st. An
thony would become governor as he
has been elected to succeed himself
as lieutenant governor.

FORCES ROUTED
General WrangelReport-
edEscaped. Conquest
of I urkey Expected

PARIS, Nov. 14.-With dispatches
announcing the flight Of Baron
Wrangel from Sebastopol on a
French warship, and the utter rout
of the anti-Bolshevik forces thru the
Crimea, observers in Paris predict
the fall of Constantinople within six
months unless military measures,
now declared impossible, are taken
Immediately by the allies.
With the Turkish capital menaced
on the north by the Russian army, on
the south and east by the Kemalists,
who have effected a union with
Soviet Russia in the province of
Azerbajian, Persia, Lenine's dream
of soviet Turkey is believed to be
on the point of realization.
The rout of Baron Wrangel far
eclipses all the other news in the
newspapers of Paris. The majority
of the journals admit that all hopes
of ousting the Moscow government
are now dead. -..,
In the meanwhile Kerensky is re-
ported as organizing a volunteer
army in Poland, Czecho-Slovaki and
Hungary for an offensive against
Russia.
LONDON.-The Bolshevik forces
have outflanked the troops Of Baron
Wrangel, according to a dispatch
from Constantinople to the London
Daily Express.
Indescribable scenes Of confusion
reign in theCrimean ports. The in
habitants are in panic and much loot
ing is going on.
Baron Wrangel is personally COM
manding the remnants of his army,
resolved to make the supreme sacri-
flee in order to save the women and
children.
Leon Trotsky is personally leading
the red army. M. Krivschen, premier
of the Wrangel government, arrived
at Constantinople this morning from
Sebastopol to help the fugitives. The
premier appears to be nervous
wreck.

Dor and Materials

WASHINGTON.-Japan is ,prepar-
ing to flood the American markets
with goods made with American ma
chinery and at one tenth the labor
cost Of production in the United
States, according to statement is
sued today by the American protec-
tive tariff league. This means, 1t. is
said, that American industry will be
slaughtered" by Oriental competi-
ton unless protection is restored by
the incoming administration.
Quoting tables issued by the Jap
anese government itself, the state
ment shows wages in Japan aver
age one-tenth of those paid in cor
responding industries in the United
States. In addition, it is, pointed out,
Japan practically controls shipping
on the Pacific and her products are
being admitted to the U. S. either
free or at very low duty.
The Orient received more than half
of the machinery exported by this
country during tho past year.

POCATELLO NEWS FAILS
TO PUBLISH.

Pocatello, frequently referred to
as "The Graveyard of Newspapers, p"
claimed another victim when the Po-
catello News failed to appear Satur-
day morning.
The News was started a year ago
by V. A. Kennedy, Harold M. Sims
and associates as morning paper.
After surviving twelve months of
rather turbulent eXistance, the News
went into the hands of receiver
about two weeks ago. Harold NJ.
Sims was appointed receiver and
states that the shut down Friday
night was occasioned by trouble with
mechanical force.
The Pocatello Herald which was
started about the same time that the
News commenced operations, sus-
pended publication about month
ago.

HUNGER STRIKERS
in CORK GIVE UP.
81 DAYS NO FOOD
Nine Irish Sympathizers
Establish New Worlds
Record Going With
out Food.

CORK-Cork is on it's knees CIV
ing thanks that the nine hunger
strikers in the Cork Jail have at last
taken food after fasting for ninety
four days. Reports from the prison
were to the effect that all the prison
ers had been given nourishment and
all seemed we'll able to assimilate it
and all are expected to recover after
their worlds record fast
THE emaciated living skeletons"
decided to abandon their strike when
they received a message from Acting
President Arthur Griffith advising
them to desist, his message declaring
that in his opinion they had proved
their devotion to Ireland and that
now they should prepare to live for
their country even as they had pre-
pared to die for it.
This message was sent by Griffith
following a personal visit from Lord
Mayor O'Callaghan of Cork yester
day, decided the nine remaining
strikers take the food that was Of
fered them.
Eleven men were arrested by the
British police and military on var
ious charges in connection with dis
orders in Ireland and they began a
simultaneous hunger strike in Aug
use II in the Cork jail. This was
two days before Lord Mayor Mac
Swiney began his strike, when late
the following day he was convicted
on four charges made by the govern
ment.
Two Dead
OF the original eleven, two have
died, Michael Fitzgerald died on Oc-
tober II, and Joseph Murphy, who
was said to be an American citizen,
died on the same day that Mayor
MacSwiney died, October "a.
The nine survivors whose long fast
ended last week are: Michael Burke,
John Hennessy, Thomas Donovan,
John and Peter Crowley, Matthew
Rely, Joseph Kenny (also said to be
an American citizen), Christopher
Upton and John Power
So much attention centered upon
Lord Mayor MacSwiney during his
hunger strike in Brixton prison, Lon
don that but little notice was given
to the men in the Cork Jail.

BLACKFOOl' HIGH
TRIMS P0CATELL0
Visitors Outplayed at
Every Stage Of the
Game

Friday afternoon the local high
school squad took the Pocatello high
down the line to a twenty-three to
nothing beating. 1t was hard
battle from the start to the final
whistle. A wet, slippery field made
the going hard and passes very diff
ficult. In spite of the slippery ball
the Blackfoot boys completed fifteen
forward passes and had only one
intercepted. The visitors evidently
lacked confidence in their passes as
only one was tried altho it was
completed.
Only once was Blackfoot's goal in
danger: In the last quarter with
about one minute to play when
Black, Pocatello's ace, picked up a
tumble and made a fifty yard gain,
which brought him within twenty
yards of the goal, before he was
brought down.
The feature of the game was a
drop kick made for Blackfoot by
Stephens from the thirty-five yard
line
The first score was made in the
first quarter by Stephens on fifty
yard run after the recovery of a
tumble. In the second quarter Reay
completed a forward pass for touch
down and goal was kicked. In the
third quarter Stephens registered his
drop kick and in the final session
after two passes had put the oval
in position a touchdown was made by
a line buck over center.
The Blackfoot lineup was: Center,
York; guards Chaffin and Stewart;
tackles, Neider and Royse; ends,
Reay and Simmons; quarterback,
Hartmaker; halves, Taylor and Nell
son; fullback Stephens. The Black
foot line gave the backs spendid sup
port and every man on the home
team was playing the game all the
time.
Idaho Falls plays here Friday the
nineteenth and battle royal is
looked for.

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL PROGRESSING

w. D. Goodnough, director of the
Red Cross membership campaign re-
ports that the work of obtaining
members is being forwarded as rapid
ly as possible.
Bad luck attended the drive at
Shelley. The organization at that
point had two cars and both broke
down so that no soliciting has been
done in the rural districts. The town
proper has been covered and two
hundred members reported. Aber-
deem reports two hundred and fifty
and the Blackfoot district yielded
seven hundred and siXty-five. This
leaves the county short about one
thousand of it's quota but Mr. Good
nough states that he is confident
that the shortage will be met.

TRAIN ROBBERS GET
$1,000, 900 TREASURE
Greatest Robbery in 20
Years If Not in
Country's History

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 15.-Efforts
were being made tonight to recover
between $1,0O0,000 and $1,500,000
stolen by train bandits when they
broke into a mail car on the Chi
cago Burlington and Quincy railway
between here and Council-Bluffs.
Scores Of secret service men, post
office inspectors and details of po-
lice worked throughout the day
searching for the robbers and their
loot.
"There is no use to deny it was
the biggest train robbery in twenty
five years, if not in the whole history
of the country" said Captain Charles
Shaffer, of the Council Bluffs police
tonight. He had worked on the case
all day.
Somebody connected with the de-
partment, somebody on the inside,
was in the plot" he said. He had
heard unofficially the shipment ex-
ceeded 100000.
Government officials working on
the case would make no statement.
They said the amount of loot secured
might not be known for thirty days.
The car was made up in San Fran
cisco last Wednesday and consisted
of a shipment of money, stocks and
bonds from many different California
towns and cities. 1t was addressed to
banks in numerous cities on the At
lantic seaboard 1t was understood
there was a heavy shipment for Chi
oago and another for New York, in
addition to a great gold shipment
from the San Francisco mint to the
treasury department in Washington.
Until complaints of the shippers
or consignees have been received,
postal officials said, the department
has no way of checking up all the diff
ferent shipments and the amounts.
''The plot was we'll organized and
executed" said Chief Eberstein. "It
was the work of professionals, as
sisted by some one on the inside. The
bandits knew just what they were
looking for They knew which of the
six cars carried registered mail and
wasted no time on cars carrying only
ordinary mail
Postal inspectors had lead" up
on which they were working late to-
night but no arrests have been made.
Nero than 800 ficials ard news
paper men were working feverishly
on the case tonight.
Garages are being searched thru
out Omaha and Council Bluffs.
Guards have been placed at all road
crossings and close watch on incom-
ing and outgoing freight and passen.
ger trains is being maintained.
A report that the treasure had
been taken by automobile to the Mis-
souri, river and loaded on motor
boat was being investigated
Half an hour after leaving Omaha
the train drew up at the Council
Bluffs depot, postal clerk attempt
ed to pass through the treasurer car
but found the door locked from the
inside. Suspecting robbery he sum-
moned other postal clerks. The door
was broken down. The interior of the
car was in disorder. Instead of being
half filled with registered sacks OF
mail, it was almost empty.
2 A window on one side of the car
had been broken. The mail bags were
thrown through the window while
the train was in motion. The robbers
were supposed to have leaped from
the window after completing the rob-
berry. Passing between the transfer
and the city depot the train runs at
not more than five miles an hour.

SEVEN CHILDREN KILLED

NEW YORK, Nov. IA
Stampeded by the cry fire"
patrons of a moving picture
theatre on Cherry street, to-
day trampled out the lives of
seven children of ages from
two to thirteen. Eight others
were injured.
A fire was being built in
the basement under the
theatre. The smoke pene-
trating the floor crevices
frightened the audience and
the cry of fire" arose.
THAT fifty children were
not killed is miracle" said
a witness of the tragedy.
"They were piled in places
four deep, with their faces
covered and their voices muf-
fled beneath the Iumbled
mass of humanity. 1t was a
death trap if there ever was
one. If 1t had been a real fire
few would have escaped.
