Chapter XIX.

The year 1920 will witness the
presidential elections as we'll as the
state and county elections, and there
will be many charges of bad manage
ment in administrations against both
parties. 1t will be right to discuss
these things, and try to learn the
truth, but this year the bOlshevists
will be very active in playing up
false reports just for the purpose of
getting the American people to fight
among themselves. The more Bit
terly We fight each other, the more
time and opportunity they will have
to fleece us all and to throw the pro-
verbal monkey-wrench into the
gearing of our social, industrial and
political life. IS
For some reason best known to
the Creator, we are given a good
many things to contend with in this
world, and out of all the turmoil and
opposition, the greater forces are de-
veloped. The efforts Of the bolshe-
visits are directed against harmony
wherever they find it, and they re-
vel in anything that adds to the con-
fusion. They adopt the German
militarist plan of sticking, to a pre-
arranged program no matter what
happens, and everything they can
do to confuse the opposition is gain
for themselves. In the campaign of
1920 their strength will lie in those
lines-confusing the other people
and binding their own forces to-
gether, but directing them on the
general plan of destruction and OPP
position to whatever exists. A few
days ago saw cartoon in an Idaho
paper, that showed the farmer and
the laborer hooked up together as
a team, rushing along, upsetting
everything else they came to, and
that was set forth as the program for
the campaign of 1920. If that idea
could be carried out, the wholesale
upsetting of the good and the bad,
it would be what they have in Rus
sia-chaos. But the farmers and
the laborers have too much at stake
to follow any such program as that,
no matter who suggests it, and even
tho it might be made to look good at
first glance, it would not stand
analysis. There is fundamental

Godspeed Pro-
claimed to the Legion

The high hopes of the American
people for the American Legion have
been abundantly realized at the Min
neapolis convention. Hard fights in
committee, and on the floor were fol-
lowed by harmony on the final line
up. North, east, south and west are
worthily represented in the platform
adopted and in the officers elected.
And best of all, a passionate solicit
tude for the honor and welfare Of
the mother of us all, America, was
shown at every step by this band of
brave defenders of the nation who
have associated themselves together
For God and Country" In the past
they proved themselves the salvation
Of America At the present they are
hailed as the hope Of America, for
from their ranks will come the
future leaders Of America for the re-
mainder Of their day and generation
Examination of the platform of
the legion, plank by plank, warrants,
as we believe, this word to the con-
gress from the American people,
Follow the Legion and you will
serve the Nation" Where both the
Republican and the Democratic
parties have failed, the legion has
succeeded in voicing the true senti-
ments of "the plain people of the
land" The legion's voice those who
pretend to serve the people must
heed, and that quickly, or give place
to others who will heed It.
Godspeed to the legion!--the
wars great gift to America trium-
plant.

| principle that governs in such way
that we reap what we SOW, and the
political party that goes about at
tempting to deceive the people as to
what should be done, will have a
good chance to be the object or re-
sentiment after the people have done
their thinking.
If the Republican party in its ma
tional scope shall go about abusing
he Democratic administration for
more than the facts justify, it should
and likely will, rebound to the bene-
fit of the Democratic party. The
simple truth may seem unbelievable,
as the simple truth seemed unbe-
lievable in many things done by the
epublican party during and just
following the Civil war. The Repub-
lean party and the Democratic
'arty in Idaho will likely charge a
great deal of wrongs to each other
and both be right, but If those who
10 the speaking and publishing
would point out the good that each
arty has done, the beneficial legis-
lation that each party has enacted
to law notwithstanding the handi-
ap of partisan politics, if they would
point out some more constructive
legislation to help along such work
as is being done by the department
of farm markets, the department of
supplies, the department of roads
and of agricultural extension, and
then show the people how to do their
part in working to those ends, there
would be less footing left for the
bolshevists.
The way for people to put these
suggestions into practice right now
if they live in southeastern Idaho is
to attend the pure seed show and the
boys and girls club meetings and
the fat stock show, to be held at Po-
catello the week of January ~ to 16
inclusive. At such places they will
learn production, and that is what
the world is short of. They will
learn constructive work, the opposite
of what the bolshevsts suggest and
teach, and all the time that people
are learning to cooperate with
nature and their fellow citizens who
are also engaged in production, they
are helping to properly manage the
state business

CANADA READER
APPROVES PLAN
Offers Ideas To Go
With Professional
Building
A HOSPITAL. ACT

| w. D. Trego of Gleichen, Alberta
, who is spending the winter at
Phoenix, Ariz., after reading our
articles on erecting at Blackfoot a
/ building for professional men, sent
the following letter expressing his
views:
81 have read with much interest
your articles, 'Blackfoot Should
Erect the Building and wish to con-
graduate you ON the cooperative
ideas advanced in this as we'll as
many of your other articles during
recent years.
Cooperation is the one great
idea around which our farmers
movement is built and we are just
as glad to see other communities
learning to cooperate as to learn to
practice it in our own province and
our own Dominion for there is no
limit to the good that can come by
the proper spirit of cooperation and
1t should be extended to all the
countries of the globe.
1T has occurred to me in this con-
nection that an idea which we have
developed in Alberta for handling
hospitals might be made use of in
connection with the building of Of
fees for doctors in Blackfoot in con-
nection with hospital to serve the
town and community.
I'VE passed an act in Alberta
about two years ago which is called
The Municipal Hospital Act which
provides for dividing the province
into hospital districts and for taxing
all the property In the district for
building and maintaining hospital
The size of the district is governed
entirely by the people within the dis
trict to be organized.
In the city of Calgary they are
planning to build hospital Of suf-
ficient size to take care of the in
habitants of the city and of as much
of the surrounding country as can be-
conveniently served by the institu-
ton, possibly twenty-five miles in
each direction from which all pa
tients will be served
Outside that radius there will be
other districts formed which will
surround the smaller towns which

country doctor can, with the aid of
two or more nurses, care for con-

eases which can be cared for by the

local board will in turn arrange
with the board operating the larger
hospital at Calrary for hanll ng the
more complex Cast r@T7.. ,!s specil-

employ specialists FIR all the diff

IF the Offices for all the doctors
were provided in connection with

would mean &c nomy in eXl ense and

What Chemistry Has to do With
the Meat You Eat

In the first place digestion is the
chemical action Of stomach juices
on food.
The heat which is in food changes
into work when man eats.
Between the live animal ION the
hoof" and the dinner table there
are several chemical actions. The
fresh-killed beef is not good food.
1t becomes good food by means of
a "rpening PERIOD Of two or
three weeks. During that time
a change takes place in the tissues
of the meat which puts the
healthy favor in it. The prin-
cipal change is that the albumen
in the tissues hardens.

While meat is ripening into food
it must be kept at the freezing
point, 80 degrees Fahrenheit, that
is, both dry and cool.
Under the ammonia cooling sys-
tenn this temperature is main
tanned by means of a few simple
laws of nature which we call
chemistry.
Ammonia, as well as all liquids
and gases, will get hot when put
into tight situation. Even some
men act that way-and fly into a
chemical rage. (Scientists with
their microscopes have discovered
that an angry mans blood carries
a mixture of destructive poison.)
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-01-09

Take this hot and tightly COM
pressed ammonia and draw off all
its heat without releasing it and
you have' something that will
freeze water, keep ice boxes cold,
and would be excellent in your
home in the summer time.
Down in our cellar is a Baker ice
machine that pumps the ammonia
on its round of heat and cold. Up
into our refrigating room it goes,
steals all the stray heat and takes
it back down cellar and throws
it away.
Meat must be kept at exactly
freezing to keep it absolutely dry.
But it must not freeze.
