TO Give China a Bible.

Americans have spent $4,000 so
far to give China a Bible In it's own
language, the Mandarin. And just now
they are agreeing to spend $1,000
more to put the Bible into type and
plates and to print and bind an edi-
ton. However, it Is expected that
copies will be sold to sufficient value
to pay the printing bill, and it's fur
ther explained that these sums for ex-
penditures are Mexican, which money
IS the standard of China at this time.
It has been found by American schol-
ars that the Chinese Mandarin is a
wonderfully flexible language. capable
Of expressing almost every shade OF
meaning. More than twenty-five years
has been the period Of preparation,
and foremost American and Chinese
scholars have had part. The aim has
been not only to give the Chinese
people a Bible but to give them one
that is pure in language and will set
the standard for the republic that
English translations set for the Eng
disappearing world. This new Bible
is for people who number more than
a fourth Of the world population.

WAR MOTHERS URGE
MEMORIAL #

The War Mothers association of
Bingham county are urging the COM
missioners of the county to avail
themselves while they may of the
states appropriation to help in erect
ing a soldier memorial known as
'The Doughboy.' The mothers feel
that the memory of the sons they
bore and who died on the fields of
France should be perpetuated so that
the generations to come might be re-
minded of the sacrifices of the he
roes of the World war-on the bat
tlefields and at home. The moth
ers are right. They gave their sons
willingly, and those who failed to
return died not only for their coun-
try but for an ideal, that the right
of liberty for all men might not per-
ish from the earth. The memorial
will serve not only to perpetuate the
memory of the soldier boys but will
keep fresh in the minds of men the
ideal which they went forth to pre-
serve.
The commissioners will perform a
lasting service if they lend their
aid to this project Of the War Moth
ers.-H. P. P.

PRICES ARE COMING
DOWN

Business people everywhere are
announcing a reduction in prices of
their goods. Nearly everything in
food and clothing has been listed for
reduction somewhere. The Ford mo-
tor company has announced reduc-
tion of IA per cent on motor trucks
and other reductions ranging as high
as 81 per cent on its small cars. All
this was done in the face Of the fact
that they have orders untitled for
$4,000 vehicles.
After the civil war there was a
general agreement that business
could not resume normal proportions
until the greenbacks and specie cir
culated on par. High cost of liv-
ing in those days was expressed in
the difference between currency and
gold. There was a constant agita-
ton to return to specie payment,
that is putting the two on a par, and
it seemed that nobody could afford
to make the start. There were
plenty Of people who agreed that If
everybody would just start to doing
business on that plan it would be a
success, but years went by and mo-
body started. A common expression
was that things would be all right
whenever they resumed specie pay
ment." Then they got to using the
expression "The way to resume is to
resume Some seven years after
the close Of the war the government
resumed specie payment and the
panic followed. The breach was too
wide to be adjusted without a clash.
Paper money had deprecated to as
low as 40 cents on the dollar and it
wavered all the way between that and
hundred cents after adjustment.
When we pay two and half times
as much for an article as we did be-
fore the war that means that we are
handling a 40 cent dollar. When
prices are doubled it means that we
are handling SO cent dollar.
The prospect is that we shall re-
sumo the normal prices by coming
down gradually. Business houses
must be content with smaller pro-
fits. Those who raise crops and pro-
duce things must be content with
smaller profits. Those who work for
wages must be content with a re-
duced wage. 1t is the same old prob
lem that confronted people after the
civil uar re- oyorvhody vrnuJd haoip
to do business on the old plan it
would be all right, but nobody takes
the lead and nobody can afford to
take the lead. 1t is only to the ex-
tent that we all follow suit that it
makes things safe and practical.

WATER POWER ACT
MEANS MUCH TO WEST

The water power act of congress
means more to the west, unless
handicapped by restrictive rules and
regulations than any law ever passed
1t means Harvesting wasting
water power equivalent to steam
generated from burning 100000, 600
tons of coal and transferring manu-
featuring to the west.
Possible horse power development
is credited to western states as fol-
lows: California, $3.50. 900; Oregon,
100000; Washington, $500, 900;
Idaho. 100000; Montana. Utah,
Colorado and Wyoming, 100000
each.
No other statement is needed to
emphasize the Significance of the
events which declares for the earliest
practicable use of the vests water
power resources.
Coal operators of the east are still
restless. Their wages are high. Rail-
ways struggle night and day to get
only part Of the coal needed to the
big power plants of industry.
Factories in large number curtail
and close because of the shortage of
coal, not to speak of its price.
Congress delayed enacting water
power bill for ten years at the behest
Of the Pinchot school of conserva-
tionists and thus blocked western
Development.

WONDERS NEVER
CEASE

The public is pretty we'll prepared
these days for accounts of new and
wonderful inventions following the
wonders in mechanical engineering
that were developed during the war.
But now comes an announcement
from London of the invention by a
British mechaical engineer of a con-
trivance that exceeds the widest
imaginings of a Jules Verne. Ac-
cording to the announcement, an ae-
rial torpedo has been constructed,
carrying no crew, but which can be
controlled by wireless, even though
thousands of miles away. If the OPP
orator is in London, for instance,
he can control the torpedo at New
York, San Francisco or Australia,
the only places where he cannot ex-
ercise control being outside the linn
its of wireless. The torpedo, it is
said, can be used for observation, ex-
ploration or carrying mails, with a
speed of from $50 to 200 miles an
hour. The use to which such an
invention could be put in this coun-
try carrying mails Immediately
comes to mind. 1t requires no
great stretch of the imagination to
picture these torpedoes traversing
our country in the mail service, bind
closer together than ever the far
places. In the light of what has
been accomplished in the field of
wireless and mechanical engineering
we can no longer scott when some
seemingly impossible idea is pre-
sented and say "It can't be DONE"
but can only wait and SELL. PIP.

CURLING ExTRAvAGANCE

The extravaganza of the Ameri.
can people at time when the eco
nomic condition of the country is so
unsettled Is an unfavorable sign of
the times, and people of sane judy
ment are at loss to understand why
it should be SO, and at further loss
to suggest remedy. A great many
people of the country-and those
who have travelled say that the con-
ditions is not confined to any partic-
ular section-seem to have lost all
judgment Of the value of things and
make their purchases solely because
the article they are buying carries
a high price. 1t is related that in
one town in Idaho a merchant had
a stock Of mems clothing which he
thought to dispose of at reasonable
prices. The stock did not move,
while at the same time competitor
was selling clothes of no better ma
terial but at about double the price.
Not to be outdone the merchant re-
priced his goods about SO per cent
higher and promptly disposed of his
stock.
This is but one instance out Of
MAN. that shows the reckless ex-
Penditures by people who should
know better. .ss.. ~
In an interesting article in the
Ladies Home Journal on Thrift
and American Women" Herbert
Hoover takes occasion to point out
that there is parallel between the
present economic condition and that
following the Civil war, but that the
condition is much stronger today
than in those early days. However,
the world conditions of upset" were
unknown then, and that today 1t
affects every family and individ-
ual."
Suggesting remedy for the pres
ent tendency towards extravaganza,
Mr.. Hoover says:
1T is as imperative today as 1t
was during the war, even more SO,
that we should practice thrift in all
It's forms.
Every one of us should cut out
extravaganza and waste; we should
save every possible five-cent piece
even though 1t were worth no more
than postage stamp; we should put
our savings into savings banks or
into government securities or into
homes or farms.
Money that is wasted is destroyed
as If cast into fire, and the evil
results are not confined to the in
dividual's waste and his or her fam
lily, but are in fact spread through
out society. This is the crime and
damage done by waste"
The article directed attention to
'nescapable individual responsibility 4

matter Of principle and secondly that |

Prospects for a good race we're encouraging

At 1910 the Goldsborough passed
the two cup. contenders The Reso-
lutte had her main sail and top sail
hoisted. The Shamrock was spread
ing her canvas. The breeze, which
had been very light. was rapidly fresh
ening and veering to the east. There
was promise OF a splendid racing day.
At Ii o'clock the wind at the Light
ship had shifted back TO southwest
and fattened TO three knots. A long
roll made in from the sOuthward,
over which the two yachts swept
easily. The weather continued clear,
NTH sky overcast.
At 11.3O the Regatta Committee
hosted the signal for a southwest
by south course. The breeze was
scarcely strong enough TO stir the
flags. Resolute reached the start at
Ills. but shamrock was nearly half
an hour late.
At 1l.45, with the preliminary signal
set the breeze had increased to five
knots and both boats were manoeuv-
ring for position. Shamrock passed
Resolute and then. turning quickly,
steered after and passed her going
quite fast.
At ll,5O both yachts were holding
about west on the port tack with
shamrock leading. Suddenly sham
rock hauled off and rounded the
Hghtship, followed by Resolute. Up
to this time the fight had been in
favor Of the green boat.
At ll.55 both yachts were fighting
II out 10 the weather OF the line Then
they broke tack and Resolute headed
for the westward end OF the line,
