Very Poor Management
Brings Many Failures

Not long ago, Art Hoskins. one of
Old Man Tait's hands" drove a big
gray team hitched 10 a new Balm
wagon up TO the freight platform at
St. Anthony, Idaho. Each of the
horses weighed l40U pounds if he
weighed an ounce and showed the
evidence of blue blooded draught
stock in every line and move. They
caught the eye of every farmer and
rancher loafing around the depot
until the 4:l8 came in.
A right good looking team" came
the comment from a group on the
baggage truck.
You bet they're a good team"
responded Art proudly. There
amt a team along Snake River from
end to end can beat EN-"
Yes, they move right peart and
pretty with an empty wagon behind
them" joked scoffer, but can they
pull?"
They can drag anything that
amt fastened down and quite lot
that is" Art replied. "I'll show you
can they pull" He jerked the king
bolt loose, freed the double tree and
taking a short chain he used as a
rough lock from under the seat. he
backed the team up 10 the railroad
track and chained the double tree to
a rail Then he clucked to the gray
Percherons.
Right there Art Hoskins ruined
the best draught team in the Snake
River valley The grays dug their
toe calks in and pulled until every
tendon creaked and their eyes start
ed in their heads. They tried the
best that was in them but they could
not move the railroad track and they
knew it. Every flick of the whip,
ever yell of command from the bone
headed hired man but added to the
insult put upon them. They tried
their best that once but they never
would try again. Old Man TAFT fired
Hoskins when he heard of it but he
ought to have hit him with a neck
yoke.
Any real farmer knows better than
TO treat his stock that way. yet
hundreds of them do just what Hos
kins did to their incomes. They
chain their incomes to the railroad
track of extravaganza and unsafe
and injudiciOus investment and then
wonder why they get nowhere.
When you harness your income TO
Liberty Bonds. War Saving Stamps
and Treasury Saving Certificates,
you hook your team in from of
vehicle which will carry your loan
instead of one which will anchor
your team.

things the work of the national com
mittee on the roll of delegates, one
of the charges being the reinstatement
of two delegates from Kansas City
who had been ousted because of the
conditions attending their election.

W. johnson continued to lead for the
Republican presidential preference
as the votes of the Tuesday primary
found their way slowly into the tabu
lation headquarters of the newspaper
bureaus who were counting the votes
here today, while William J. 'Byran
gained enough votes on the days
count to place him among the first
four candidates for delegate at large
to the San Francisco convention.
With something more than one
third of the precincts in the state re-
porting, Senator Johnson had lead
of S,645 votes over General Leonard
Wood, his nearest competitor, with
General John J. Pershing in third
place.
Byran in First Four
In the Byran-Hitchcock skirmish
for delegates at large the Lincoln
statesman not only managed to get
within the coveted four. on the votes
thus far counted. but found one of his
running mates ! there with him

It appeared to be the general opin
ion among Democratic leaders that
former Governor 'Morehead was .
winner in the gubernatorial nomina
ton race by probably the largest
plurality of any candidate voted fol
on Tuesday.
At the same time, enough returns
had been received to incline Repub

Count for the Republican nomi
nation.

Frazier Sarcastic
Governor Frazier was absolutely
n0n.commttal when asked today what
his plans were in view of the fact that
Commissioner Wehe had challenged
the governors right to force him to
resign without hearing The chief
executive. in a very peppery and sar-
castle tone, said the contents of his
letter to Wehe explained the situation
perfectly as far as he was concerned
and that he refused to make any
further statement.
The ultimatum laid down by Coy
ernOr Frazier in his letter gave until
| today for Wehe to either make a
statement refuting the charges made
by the governor or resign. Wehe
countered in his letter and demanded
that Governor Frazier give him Il
public hearing so that he could oh
tain square deal. The governor said
today he stood on the contents of
his letter and Wehe said he would
do nothing until given public hear,

Legal Proceedings Next
Inasmuch as these two ideas are
so entirely different Wehe is expected
to be severed from the payroll today

URGE FARMERS
TO BOOST THEIR
WHEAT ACREAGE

Washington. April 22-Reports from
the spring wheat region of plan for
reduced acreage this year caused the
department of agriculture to issue a
statement today urging farmers to re-
wise their planting plans. Weather
conditions and shortage of farm Ia
Dor have affected the planting, but
statistics presented by the department:
advise increase production because OF
the poor condition of the winter crop
and the continued world demand for
wheat -.F
The normal requirement for con-
sumption and export are about $780,.
100000 bushels. OF this amount only
4S3,617.O00 bushels are indicated from
the winter wheat belt this year. The
worlds demand it was pointed out
will be as great as usual and none can
be expected from Australia because
of the poor wheat year and the disor-
ganized transportation conditions
make improbable the movement of
the 55,000,000 bushels Russia has an
nounced she will have ready for
export.
