pressing for at least five years. And
certainly IL must seem to any ordinary
observer that real estate development
on large scale. supported through the
joint efforts of municipalities, private
investors and building trades unions,
should be profitable, even though IL
brings no such returns as many land
lords and spectators recently have come
to expect.
What is needed in this city Is plan
much like that which got Bridgeport out
Of very serious difficulties and the new
standard of building which has at
tracted attention to the Bridgeport en-
terprise.
Sounder architectural principles than
are usually applied in inexpensive
dwellings were embodied in the building
program at Bridgeport. There was pttle
of, rickety ornamcntation in the houses
built for the lively corporation whose
methods are now attracting general at

exclusively of brick. They are simple
and even beautiful in design. and in no
case were they planned without re-
gard for intrinsic grace and for charm Of
environment.
Architects of talent did their best
at job that interested them. And as
consequence the bridgeport corpora
tion has long waiting lists of people
who are eager to move from older fash
ioned houses into the model COM
munities'' that were created within a
few months.
Philadelphia Is more fortunate than
Bridgeport and It is more fortunate than
New York in having vast areas of
nearby land suitable for development
along similar modern lines. Yet
many thousands Of families in this city
will face another winter as the prey
to spectators and rent profiteers.
No relief Is possible before next spring
UT SumineT, DuI Itlirl Suou'o pS p'N
vided then. And relief will be possible
if enough men in this city can realize
that the problem is not one that con-
Germs individuals alone. II concerns
the whole community and bears in many
ways upon it's social and industrial life.
'nquestionably the city and even the
state authorities would heartily CO.
operate with any group of men who
might be moved TO support an enter
prise patterned after that at Bridge
port. The emergency is really serious.
1t is social. For the time being at least
the work of building should not be
wholly a matter Of private enterprise
and speculation. SO Mayor Moore might
prrrcrly reopen the discussions that
ended lamcntably last spring.
If large and general plan OF real
estate development were undertaken 1t
is not unlikely that leaders of the
building trades would find n way to
make concessions of a sort likely to re-
vive a declining industry, and it is
logical to suppose that material pur'
chased outright in quantities sufficient
for thousands of houses could be bought
at figures moro favorable than those
cited by Mr.. Crawford.

printing press builders, will be
one without presses, casting box

His prediction is that a news

a large room filled with telegraph

instrument connected with thous-
ands of wires forming cable run

of all subscribers, with a stock

Reports from correspondents
indicate that the wheat reserve on
Idaho farms is about 2,618, 700
bushels, or IA per cent of the 1919
crop. This almost equals the re-
serve year ago Of 1888, 900 BUSH
els, but is considerably in excess
of the 1918 reserve, which was on
~ 1898, 900 bushels About 81
per cent Of the crop will be ship
ped out of counties where grown,
compared with 60 per cent in 1918
and Sc per cent in 1917.
The amount of oats remaining
on farms is 1880 bushels, al
most equal to that of 1917, but
$4,000 bushels less than stocks
on farms year ago.
The March 1st supply of bar
ley was only 470,4O0 bushels, low
er, even, than the 1918 stocks on
farms and less than half of the
1919 reserve. There was a short
crop last year and naturally the
amount shipped out Of the coun-
ties where grown was small, it be-
ing 81 per cent against 80 per
cent in 1918 and SIS per cent in
1917.
The value Of Idaho farm lands
is increasing rapidly each year.
The 1910 census reported the av-
erage value Of farm land at $14.63
per acre. In 1918 the average val
ue Of pillow land was estimated at
$40 per acre. 1t increased to $76
per acre last year, and March !,
1920 the. value Of average pillow
land was estimated at $105 per
acre.
Twin Falls county ranks first
in value Of pillow lands, her aver
age being $241 per acre, followed
by Jerome with 1896, Canyon,
with 1856, and Ada, with 1886. |
Power county reports the lowest |,
average value Of $23 per acre, fol- |
lowed by Oneida county with $25
per acre.

Why Colds are Dangerous.

You are often told to "beware
of cold," but why? We will tell
you: Every cold weakens the
lungs, lowers the vitality and
paves the way for the more ser
ious diseases. People who contract
pneumonia first take cold. The
longer a cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as a cold prepares
the system for the reception and
development of the germs Of con-
sumption, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and whooping cough. The quick
er you get rid Of your cold, the
less the danger of contracting one
of these diseases. Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy has great repu-
tation as a cure for colds and
can be depended upon. 1t is

CAN1ATA WAS
A MUSICAL TREAT

The lovers of music who attended
the cantata "The Story of Bethlehem"
rendered at the Tip Top theatre last
Sunday night will long remember
with pleasure the rare treat they en-
joyed.
The rendition of this masterpiece
showed long and painstaking prepar-
alton, and brought forward the fact
that We have in this community many
fine voices and much musical ability
To Mrs. Ralph w. Bayless, direct
ress, is due the credit of having
brought the cantata to such high
state of perfection. She is a thor
ough musician and during the weeks
of rehearsing she gained complete
control over the assembled voices to
such an extent that it seemed as
though her baton drew forth the won
derful harmony by some magical
power.
MRS. Wm GrOte, at tne piano, con-
tributcd in no small measure to the
success of the affair.
The soloists were Mrs. VIM. Rice Jr,
Mrs. Henry Sheldon, Mrs. X. C. Ahana
Mr.. Ralph Bayless, Mr.. Sam Carter,
Mr.. Albert Horner Jr., and Mr.. Henry
Waiau. These difficult but beautiful
parts were wonderfully we'll rendered
and held the large audience as in
trance in which they could vividly see
the characters portrayed by song.
The preparation of this cantata was
a task Of no small proportions, but it
was well worth while, and it is to be
hoped that something similar will be
undertaken again in the near future.

in the death by drowning of Sin You
a late graduate of the Kauai High
School and well known in Lihue. 1t
was a pleasant afternoon, and the
water was smooth when he went for
swim at the mouth of the Waimea
river. He swan across and on the
way back was probably overtaken by
a cramp. which disabled him so that
he went down. There seems to have
been no one at hand who was able to
help him and he was carried out to
sea. The body has not been recover
ed yet
Sin You was a very promising
young man. Genial, quiet, capable
and industrious, he commended him
self to all who knew him. 1t is a
pity to lose young man like that.
