/ A meeting was held at the city
hall on Thursday evening, for the pur-
pose of organizing Leonard Wood
club, to promote the candidacy OF
General Wood for president of the
United States.
w. S. Parkhurst is travelling over
eastern Idaho looking after the or
ganization of these clubs and he ad-
dressed the meeting, briefly review
ing the reasons why General Wood
is being groomed for the presidency.
He stated that General Wood is a
graduate of Harvard, and not West
Pointer; that he studied for the med
ical profession and after his gradua-
tion he practiced for several years.
He accepted a government appoint
ment and was sent to some frontier
place where his natural activities set
him to looking for work to do, and
some took him out of the line of his
profession.
His activities and his active ability
lead him on from one step to another
and from one achievement to another
until he was assigned to the oft re-
peated undertaking of capturing the
Apache chief, Geronimo, which he
so signally accomplished. So many
men had failed in that undertaking
it marked him as a man who does
things and his rise after that in mill
tary work was steady, notwithstand-

Decision Reached at
Meeting of Com
j panies at Idaho
Falls Monday
CLAIMS PRIORITY
North Fork Irrigation
Company Alleges
Difference

Representatives of the canal COM
panies of Bingham county attended
the meeting of the Snake River Wa
ter Users association held at Idaho
Falls this week to consider the recent
suit filed by the North Fork Irriga-
tion company against the various
canal companies of the valley.
The North Fork company seeks to
have an old water decree of Snake
river opened for correction. The
complaint alleges that the plaintiff
company has been deprived of about
four years priority in it's rights on
Snake river or that the North Fork
Irrigation company has decreed
right which bears the date of 1889,
which the company claims should be
1885.
The action of the North Fork COM
pany if won in the courts would ef-
feet practically all of the canal COM
panies of the valley and pave the
way for numerous suits.
1t was decided at the Idaho Falls
meeting that an effort would be
made to reach an agreement with the
North Fork company but in event of
failure to fight the case to the fin
lsh.
A committee headed by John e.
was appointed to meet with
The North Fork company. ]. T. Car
ruth was appointed to represent

MAGIC IN TACT
Nothing So Thoroughly Oils the
Wheels of Life.
This Old World Would Be Better
Place If More People Would
Cultivate the Quality.

Tact oils the machinery Of life, de-
clares a writer in London Answers.
Without it the world would be a very
different thing; it would still go round,
certainly, but with what creaking
and jolting in every part!
Tact probably has more imitators
than anything else; evasion, dishon-
esty, white lies, all these and many
more masquerade under its name, yet
tact, in the true sense, is as unlike
them as gold, is from dross.
Spurious tact is detestable. The
woman who manages" people, who
boasts that anything can be done
with little tact" usually possesses
none. Real tact is spontaneous; a
child can have it; indeed, many SEN
sitive children are exquisitely tact.
tits a blend of unselfshness, imagi-
nation, and nice feeling, these three.
Men and women may be extremely
self-sacrifcing, yet utterly tactless,
through their complete inability to put
themselves in other peoples places.
Who doesn't know the man who
drops the most appalling 'bricks," SIM
ply because he lacks Imagination, and
can't see how it will affect the feel
ings of his friends? He often, in fact,
generally Is, the most good-natured
man possible, but lacks the precious
quality of tact.
Some people are deliberately tact
less. These are divided into two
classes:
First, there is the blunt, straight
forward man, who takes pride in call
ing spade a spade" and condemns
any camoufage Of this useful imple-
ment, however truthfully it may be
done, as finicking and insincere. Then
there are the callously Indifferent;
those who study no one but them
selves. They say what they like when
ever it pleases them, totally oblivious
to the feelings of their friends.
In the old fairy tales we read Of the
prince who had a marvellous pair of
srectacies, which enabled him to read
the thoughts of all those round him.
Quite lot of people possess this mag
ic gift today, except that we have a
different name for it. How often we
hear "So-and-So is such a comfortable,
restful sort of person; everything she
undertakes is a success"
Why? Because, without sinking any
Of her own individuality, she has the
knack Of adapting herself to every
body she meets. A beautiful woman
shines in any place. If the back
ground is lovely, too, she harmonizes
with it; if ugly, it acts as foil.
So it Is with tact. FAIRY tales are
a thing of the past, but this one magic
quality is still left to- us.

Ravages of Influenza.

A decided relation between epidemic
influenza and tuberculosis has been
traced at the Ohio State sanitarium.
Of 615 tuberculosis patients admitted
since 1919, as many as 249, or 40 per
cent, attributed theirS tuberculosis
symptoms to influenza, and 81 per cent
of these had not been known to have
such symptoms prior to the influenza
epidemic of the last three months of
1918. In SO per cent of the cases, ear
lier tuberculous tendencies were O.
vived. A curious feature Of 40 per
cent of these so-called reactivated
cases was that tuberculosis was not at
first recognized or suspected, but for
an average period Of five months, in
which many patients returned to work,
the symptoms were mild and apparent
ly temporary. Other reports show a
similar proportion Of tuberculeus pa
tients among recent sufferers from in
fuenZa. a

| SAILED IN SMALL VESSELS
Eighteenth Century Mariners Tray-
ersed the Oceans in Craft OF
Remarkable Frailty.


The crossing of the Atlantic by three
Adventurous American youths in 90
foot yawl is reminiscent Of ancient
deep sea voyaging of Yankee sailor
men in small craft. Some of these ex-
ploits are recounted in a study OF
Americas Merchant Marine by the
Bankers Trust company of New York.
Big profits realized on cargoes
brought from remote ends of the earth
stirred the eighteenth century of sea-
faring enterprise. Such, for example,
was the case of ship sailing from
Calcutta to Boston with youth OF
nineteen years in command. Inls
juvenile captain, according to the
Bankers Trust company's study, had
nothing in the way Of a chart aboard
except a small map Of the world in an
old-time geography. He made the trip
successfully and later became a Bos-
ton banker.
On the first trip of the George OF
Salem to India in 1915 hardly man OF
The crew was twenty-one years old, yet
each was qualified as an experienced
seaman and nearly every one was
navigator.
In early days the perils of the sea
were regularly braved in what would
now be considered dangerously small
vessels. The famous Maytiower, which
carried the pilgrims to the new world,
was only a 1S0-ton ship. When Cover
nor Winthrop built vessel at Med
ford, Mass, in 1851, it was a 5o-ton
bark, the Blessing Of the Bay.
Joshua Raynes built sloop at Bath
in 1852 and later when his yard turned
out a schooner of 100 tons, costing
$4,000, it was considered great IN
dertaking for that period. The schoo-
ner type had first been built at Gloq-
cester in 1713 and gradually displaced
the old sloops.
Some idea of the kind of craft that
bred the hardy race of American ma
rines is afforded by the shipbuilding
record for 1859. In that year 3S9 YES
sells of a total tonnage Of 10000 tons
we're constructed. This averaged lit
tie over so tons ship.

Navaios Now Blanket Making.

One of the wartime luxuries al
ready declining in price is the Navajo
blanket, says Phoenix, Ariz., dis
patch to the Christian Science Moni-
tor. For several years past the In
dams almost abandoned the weaving
of their famous blankets. 1t was
found that much more profit could We
secured by direct sale Of the wool to
eager eastern buyers. But the wool
market has tumbled, especially in con-
sideration of wool of poor quality such
as comes from the reservation sheep.
The Indians never have attended to
keeping up the breed of their wool pro-
ducers, though the white men who
range flocks around the reservation
produce wool of high grade. The stocks
of Navajo blankets now are well alb
sorbed and the Indians are setting up
their old looms and are bending to-
ward production a. never before.

His son, few moments later, appear
