THE PASSING OF \
THE OVERALIS

Last spring there was a popular
movement in favor of everybody
wearing overalls The avowed .pur-
pose of the movement was to re-
duce the price of clothing and to
relieve people of the burden of the
high cost of being clad. The. net
result. of the whole movement was
to keep himself supplied with over
alls and to have thousands of men
who had no use for overalls, have
overalls and jumper hung away in
their wardrobe which they have
never used but once or twice and
probably will never use again. The
overalls stored in such wardrobes as
that are just deducted from the
homes Of the men whose work calls
for that kind Of garb. The price of
other clothing did not come down in
consequence of the overalls move
ment but the price of overalls went
up. The movement defeated its own
purpose just as effectively as the d.

Chicago Lumber
Dealers Announce
Big Cut in Prices

CHICAGO.-Sensational cuts IN
the retail cost of lumber are expect
ed to force reductions in other build
ing materials and result in DIE
construction boom this coming year.
Action of the retail lumber dealers
of Chicago in slashing 30 per cent
off the price of finished timber, as
announced by L. R. Putnam, direct
ing manager of the American Whole
sale Lumber association. presages an
early doom for the rent profiteer.
Efforts are being made to per-
suade the Federal Reserve board to
assume more solicitous attitude
toward prospective builders. Be
cause of the alleged fictitious prices
of building materials bankers have
been unable to negotiate loans on
construction projects" Mr.. Putnam
explained today, "but with materials
at the new low levels that excuse
does not stand up, and we plan to
persuade financiers to encourage
home building" -
Radical reductions in lumber
prices will be effective October 1.
In comparison with the prices de-
manded last March the average de-
crease amounts to about 30 per cent.

rect primary defeated the purpose 1t
sought to bring about.
The mere fact that thing is done
in good faith and with good inten-
tions does not guarantee that 1t will
bring the results desired. When
President Wilson carried his docu-
ment regarding the league of ma
lions home to America he was prob
ably sincere in his desire to have it
accomplish certain things but his
sincerity and his desire could not
bring about such effects.
If people set out to accomplish
something there must be two funda-
mentals present. There must be
practical working plans to base the
movement on and there must be sin
certify, and integrity back of the
movement, Last May Mr.. Wanamaker
announced a reduction in prices of
of goods in his store and proceeded
to puff in effect predicting that the
prices OF clothing would come down
thruout the land. It looked for a
while as If that would be the effect
but 1t soon appeared that Mr.. Wanna
maker was short; OF money and chose
that plan Of getting it rather than
going to the bank to borrow any
longer. It is asserted that when he
raised the $4,000, 100000 which he
was in need of that he no longer
pushed the price reduction and there
by was introduced the suggestion
that. perhaps there was lack Of sim
certify in his announcement that
prices were to be reduced merely to
reduce the high cost of living 1t
was charged that the prices were
reduced merely to rush some sales
and raise the desired $5,000,000.00
for immediate use.
The announcement of Henry Ford
that he will reduce the cost .of..his
vehicles from Ia to 81 per cent &C
cording to- the different values in
volved, has the ring Of sincerity, in
an effort to get back to normal
prices. We shall see in the course of
time whether he carries out the pur-
pose as If he were really sincere.

THE EFFECT OF.
THE FAIR

j The, people of Bingham county
are being congratulated on the high
moral tone of the 1920 fair. The
absence Of takers and grabters and
carnival stunts on the grounds was
noted by many people and comment
ed upon. It was considered a thoro-
ly, upright, moral and wholesome
fair in every respect. It was a suit
able place for families with all their
membership from top to bottom.
Large numbers of people are declar-
ing their intentions of bringing ex-
hibits next year and Of beginning
preparations for it early.
People are to be congratulated on
the absence of accidents due to
management of vehicles during the
fair. Aside from the lamentable ac-
cidents on the race track and one
man being bumped on the fair
grounds no accidents were reported.
A congestion of people and cars
on the streets Of the town is. always
expected during the fair and acct
dents are dreaded. Altho large num-
bers of them were coming and going
at their pleasure during the 1920
fair no accidents happened. This is
due perhaps to the familiarity of the
public with the traffic rules and
their careful observance both by
drivers and by people on foot. The
public press has labored diligently
to teach the public these rules and
to keep bringing it to their attention
SO that they would become. familiar
with operations and eliminate the
most common danger point. 1t is
only fair to say that everybody who
drove a. car and everybody who
travelled afoot, on the streets had a
part in conducting the movements of
the cars and the public in a way to
prevent any accidents from happen
ing. Everybody is entitled to credit
and congratulations. The mass of
the public have learned great deal
about the new instrument, the auto
bile, in few years past.

WOOL SLUMP CAUSES
MOUNTAIN HOME FAILURE

MOUNTAIN HOME.-The great
slump in the price Of wool is said to
be the cause of the failure of Joe
Bengoechea, the largest sheep own
er in Gilmore county, and the conse-
quent temporary closing Of the doors
of the Commercial Savings bank of
Mountain Home, in which Bengoe-
chea was heavily interested. The gen.
eral opinion in Mountain Home is
that the bank will reopen its doors
within a few days, having closed
merely to adjust the loan of two
hundred and thirty-six thousand dol
lars to Bengoechea, said to have
been made by Spokane bank, which
Tuesday foreclosed on the. Bengoe-
chea interests for that amount.
The bank was established about
three years ago, capitalized for $780,
900 and the chief stockholders were
the Mellen estate and Joe Bengoe-
chea. There are about 100 small in
vestors in the bank. Dan baltimore
is the cashier.
Joe Bengoechea is one Of the
prominent business men Of Mountain
Home. He is a Basque, who, 1t is
said, has acquired large fortune in
Gilmore county thru industry and
business skill, and who has done
much in a civic way to aid in the
upbuilding Of the. county. He built
and still owns one of the finest ho-
tells in the city ana a. business block,

To Edwin Taylor; the proprietor
of the vulcanizing works on South
Broadway, is due the credit for an
explanation of what is the matter
with the lights. on the automobiles
in this county and yours may be one
of them that needs adjusting. Mr..
4 Taylor says that the cars operating
without lights are not the only ones
that are making trouble. He says
that many cars, perhaps the majority
Of the cars, operating in this county
have faulty lights and their fault
ness is likely to cause serious acct
dents. f
Mr.. Taylor explains 1t In this way:
When car is travelling on level
piece of road the lights should be
thrown so that they focus on the
track about seventy-five feet ahead
of the car and in a space about forty
two inches across. The main stream
of light called the focus should not
rise higher than forty-two inches
above the road-bed. Then it does
not throw it into the eyes of the
people coming from the other direc-
tion. .
Mr.. Taylor says that in California
they have all this regulated by law.
He is not quite sure as to the dis
lance from the car but he thinks
seventy-five feet. Mr.. Taylor offers
his services free to the public II the
city will institute some program for
having everybody's lights tested and
set right. The dip at which the
lamps are set and the focus at which
they are set are the two things to
be adjusted and if cars were brought
to the testing place on the street,
one after another when the prep
arations were all made, large num-
Der of cars could be tested and set
right in a short space Of time. Mr..
Taylor suggests that If the city
council wants to arrange for some
thing OF the kind some of the garage
men will donate their services a
certain number of hours per week.
He, speaking for himself, is willing
to donate his own service. Il

worth while for people to make a

SECRETARY HOUSTON is
OPPOSED CREDIT EXTENSION

WAHINGTON.-Secretary of the
Treasury Houston asserted today
that he is unalterably opposed to ex.
tension of credit to enable producers
to withhold their goods from the
market until the higher prices can
be obtained. Agricultural interests,
notably the southern cotton planters
and the western stockmen have been
seeking such extensions of credit
thru the federal reserve board.
81 am in favor" said Secretary
Houston, "of every legitimate effort
to promote the orderly marketing OF
all commodities, but the govern
ment can not be party to an under
taking to hold the commodities of
the market to enable the owners
artificially for speculative. purposes
to maintain war prices or higher
than war prices.
AS a matter Of fact, the banks OF
the country during the last twelve
months have been extending large
credits to meet the demands from in
dustry and agriculture. Since
August of 1919, the loans and in
vestments Of about 500 reporting
member banks increased over two
and half billions of dollars. AS
these reporting banks represent
about 40 per cent of the resources OF
all the banks, it is estimated that the
tOal increase in loans and invest
ments since August, 1919, has been
more than five and one-halfl billions
Of dollars.
Even from January 23, 1920,
when the increase in discount rates
went into effect to August q, 1920,
the loans Of about 500 reporting
member banks exclusive Of loans Sc
cured by government obligations and
other stocks and bonds, increased
over one and one-quarter billions OF
dollars. Since the crop movement
demands came on the bills redis-
counted and purchased by the fed
eral reserve banks have increased at
the rate Of about $50, 900, 900 a week
and the federal reserve notes at the
rate Of from $2O,OO0,O00 to $4O,-
100000 a week.

FIND MANY POTATOES FREEZE
DUE TO IMPROPER SHIPPING

OF $685. cars of potatoes inspected
by agents of the Bureau Of Markets,
United States Department. of Agri-
culture, during the year ended July
II, 1920, more than 1000 cars
showed damage from freezing in
transit amounting in some cases to
40 per cent This loss would not
have occurred with the use of proper
loading and heating methods, say
the bureaus specialists.
Protection from cold depends
largely upon constant circulation
of warm air around the load. Heated
air from a stove in the center Of
car rises to the top, spreads along
the ceiling between the potatoes and
the roof, thence down through open
spaces at the ends, then back un-
derneath false floor coming out
at the stove.
Cars should be carefully lined with
paper. In box cars, false floors,
false side and end walls should be
constructed of boards and studding
so as to provide for air circulation
around the load In refrigerator
cars, false floors should be providI
ed and care should be taken that
bunker bulkhead openings are not
blocked, either in papering or load
ing
Cars should be heated at least six
hours before loading. In loading,
sacks should not come closer than
inches from the ceiling. The po-
tatoes at the floor should be loaded
not less than inches from the sides
and ends of car.
Complete details regarding the
prevention of freezing in transit and
proper loading methods can be had
upon application to the Bureau Of
Markets, United States Department

NEW YORK.-The Misses Beverly

walk across the continent which took
them four and half months.
