Mr.. Brady read me letter from a

had her old mother to take care Of.
This letter was very pathetic. Last
winter during the blizzard, her one
farmland having contracted pneu-
monia, this young woman was forced
TO milk twenty COWS, tend to the
horses and do the general work, be-
sides her household duties.
She could not secure any help and

Considerable Momentum.

worked up over the prospect of Sun
day closing for motion picture shows.
Starting last week with action taken
by the Young Peoples organization
from Nampa churches, the movement
has gained no inconsiderable head
way. At meeting Tuesday evening,
petitions were prepared requesting
the city council to place its official
stamp of disapproval on Sunday
shows. Directed by thorough or
ganization, the petitions are being
taken throughout the town and are
being quite freely signed. l
No apprehension is felt by the
friends of the Sunday movie, how
ever, that movement will assume such
proportions as to actually jeopardize
Sunday amusements here, Moving
picture men have already launched
campaign to combat opponents of
the Sunday shows and spirited fight
is underway. Several members of the
city council are affiliated with church,
es whose younger members are d.
recting the fight against the Sunday
movies and it is conceded that a pos
sibility exists that the campaign may
be crowned with success.

CONE
T0UTED TO WIN
Real Baseball Assured
When Pocatello
Plays Here.

With an aggregation of ball players
who know nothing of evening davis
and bright lights because they go to
bed at 10 p. m under a strict mana
gerial order and with seasons rec
ord Of 80 victories and only defeats,
the Pocatello baseball club will be on
the job here Saturday afternoon to
open a two-game series with the Cald-
we'll baseball tossers. Confirmation OF
the contract with Pocatello was re-
ceived Tuesday by mail by Manager
Fred Lilly.
1t must be said that the self-same
Manager Lilly is somewhat worried.
He believes that he has picked a real
snag for his cohorts. The American
Legion championship of Utah, south
eastern Idaho and Nevada that the
Pocatello aggregation brings to Cald-
we'll hasn't removed any of the
wrinkles from Manager Lilly's brow.
The following letter gives some OF
the dope of the invaders, frst-hahd
from Roberty Mckay, who will pilot
the Pocatello Legionaires to Caldwell:
Received your wire this morning
and l Immediately forwarded return
wire saying that we would arrive all
0. K. for the series 18th and 10Th.
The Legion team plays two games
here this week and will have to draw
on my reserve list for your two
games at Caldwell, but my men will
make very good showing and your
fans will be we'll pleased with our
brand of baseball.
"Wednesday we play Idaho Falls
league team and Thursday we play
the O. S. L. shop team. Both these
games are hard games and | wish you
would reserve me space in some good
hotel for my men. Il carry on
strict rule that every man on my club
must be in bed not later than ten
o'clock.
"If we each win game in these
series up at Caldwell the 18th and goth
let us try and arrange the third game
here at Pocatello. We will give yor,
a somewhat better guarantee and
show you a good time while your
club is in our city. I may be able
to get you three games here with the
shop teams and they will give you
good guarantees as we'll"

This is the advisable method for
the average man for improving or
holding his standard Of excellence OF
his potato crop. Fields that are
pretty badly mixed and that have a
lot of disease usually have many good
individual plants. These may be
taken out and sowed by themselves
for seed with much profit.
Does good pure seed pay? Last
week we were in field of one
hundred acres. The grower had
planted it with potatoes purchases
from dealer. They were supposed
to be good seed of one variety that
had been purchased in one of the
eastern potato growing states. This
field of potatoes had a poor stand.
About S per cent of the variety pur-
chased and most Of them were run
out 'multipliers,-big plants with fine
purple blooms but with strings of
tubers the size of bantam eggs.
There were at least half a dozen dis
tinct varieties of potatoes in the field.
The loss cannot be less than one hun
dred sacks per acre. One hundred
acres makes 10000 sacks loss. Did the
poor seed cost. this man anything?
I'VE must have better seed. We
will have quite number of acres of
seed in the state that can be certi-
field, and that means that it must be
good. 1t will take 1000 cars of pota-
toes to plant Idaho's next years crop
Of potatoes. We may have enough
certified seed to plant from two to
FIVE per cent of the acreage. What
about the other IS or 90 per cent.
Now is. the time to think about seed
for next years planting. 1t is also
about time to get into the field and
get some seed, free from disease, for
next years crop. If you think you
will not be able to distinguish the
plants, ask your county agent

WANT
NO TAX CHANGE
T0HURT PUBLIC
Farm Bureau Federation
Opposes Possible Shift
ing of Burden From
Industrial Interests.

DOlSe, aug. Io.-NepOrtS received
here from the recent Denver meeting
of the executive committee of the
American Farm Bureau federation in
dictate that the federation will try to
make sure that additional burdens
are not shifted from industrial in
terests to the public by contemplated
revision of national taxation laws.
Decision was reached also to create
a federation traffic department.
The decision on taxation followed
a review of agitation for repeal of
the excess profits tax, which takes
from corporation and other busine S
earnings 40 per cent of all profit
in excess of 20 per cent net profit
on investments. This tax last year
raised for the government almost
two. billion dollars. Several substi-
tues have been suggested.
Approve Access Profits Tax.
The idea of the American Farm Blu
reau federation is that the big tax
burden of the country should be borne
largely by the interests most able to
pay and should not be paid out of
the living wage of the average indi-
vidual consumer. 1t is also contend
ed that the excess profits tax has not
crippled" business to any discernible
extent and that it seems a conserva-
tive tax, when it is considered that
Great Britain levies similar tax of
90 per cent instead of the 40 of the
United States. Prof. T. S. Adams of
Yale university, who was chairman of
the advisory board of taxation of the
United States treasury, during the
war, outlined for the farmers the pres
ent problems of administration of ma
