LOCAL CAVALRY
TROOP GROWING
Former Service Men
In Charge of
Organization

James E. Burnette, stable sergeant
of D troop, first cavalry, stationed at
Blackfoot, reports that they are very
much in need of larger corral at
the fair grounds to put the horses in
when they are running loose, rather
than letting them have the whole
northern corner of the fair grounds
with chances that they shall get out
into the main grounds and 60 where
they are not wanted.
There is large stack of manure
on the site which they propose to use
for the corral and some one wishing
fifty or a hundred tons of fertilizer
might make arrangements to get 1t
before the corral is built. 1t has
been ricked up there ever since the
time of the carnival two years ago
and should be we'll rotted or else
burnt out by this time.
The troop have thirty-two horses
and a wagon, but no harness as yet,
the harness having been delayed in
transit. The men do their chores
and cleanup work In the forenoon
and their drilling in the afternoon.
They have erected one new building
for q saddle house and rebuilt an
other for an office. They have no
lights in their stable and when they
have occasion, to go in the evening
or in the night, they use lanterns.
A ., nfPDrf boo hoon rroAo fo hovo fho
electric light lines extended to the
stables, but they lack transformer
and it requires q deposit Of $45 to
get the extension made.
Sergeant Burnette reports that
they have the stables cleaned up that
were left in bad condition from the
winters use. The county had q man
in charge Of the property and he was
receiving $3.50 q month to look
after it, but the soldiers report that
when they came, the only evidence
they found of being looked after was
that one of the large barns had been
used for the caretaker's own stock
and poultry and had never been
cleaned out apparently and 1t took
them a number Of days to get it put
in condition to use. From this 1t
appears that the caretaker was get
ting the free use of the barn and
$3.50 a month.
The officers Of the troop are Will
bur c. Allen, captain; William
Parkinson, first lieutenant; Daniel
Brill, second lieutenant. The nom
commissioned officers are Richard
w. Stevens, top sergeant; James e.
Burnette, stable sergeant; Max Brill
and Joseph Goodwin, platoon ser
geants. Daniel Brill is at Fort Riley,
Kan. taking drill in cavalry work.

ABERDEEN HAS
GOOD ROAD DAY
County Highway Put
in First Class
Condition

Last Tuesday was good roads day
in the Aberdeen country and every
body turned out to work the roads,
free of charge. All the stores and
business houses in the town were
closed and farm work was suspended
in the country.
They are organizing highway dis
trict down there with w. B. Green,
T. S. Vanderford and Henry Hege as
highway commissioners. This board
suggested the good roads day when
every body should turn out and work
free, the people were ready for it
and responded royalty. Not only did
people get out and work, but they
worked faithfully. Not like the pro-
verbal road gang that kills time and
delivers poor days work, but like
people who are working for them
selves and have only one day to do
all the things that were needed.
They did grading, they rebuilt cul-
verts, they put in new culverts, they
dragged the roads with mule teams,
with horse teams, with tractors; the
men and larger boys worked; the
smaller boys carried water; the
ladies operated the department of
nourishment. The men did not go
home for dinner, but ate right on
the work.
People from the Aberdeen country
say they have the best roads in the
county now and they are daring US to
drive down and see. Besides all that
the people who did the work are
pleased with themselves; they feel
like it was one of the best days they
had put in, and 1t yielded much sat
isfaction as we'll as yielding good

IDAHO FEDERATION
OF WOMEN'S CLUBS
LAUNCH PROGRAM
Women of State Have
Undertaking Under
Way to Relieve
Situation
BUY POUND WOOL
Slogan Adopted to In
crease Sale of
commodity

Women's clubs of Idaho are ad-
dressing the following to Idaho
people:
If every member of. the state fed
GRAFTON of women of Idaho would buy
q pound of wool and then pledge
themselves to influence their friends
to buy a pound of wool and then
pledge their friends friend to buy a
pound Of wool-Don't you see what
wonderful impetus we would give
to one Of Idaho's greatest industries
that is suffering from the lack of an
embargo or protective tariff?
The sheep industry has for many
years made Idaho known, for there
have been men with vision and
knowledge who have prided them
selves on developing herds produc-
ing the highest grade of wool. Other
states like California, New Mexico,
Utah and Nevada came to Idaho to
secure breeding stock. Great for
tunes were locked up in the sheep
industry. During the war contracts
were made for large amounts Of
wool. Men, in order to serve their
country, invested heavily in breeding
stock. Idaho is q natural forage
state. Conditions over which no one
had seeming. vision arose. Drought
in 1919 caused feed to reach an un-
. told price. Hay sold as high as $35
and $45 per ton. The long feeding
season of 1919-20 from October 25
to June 1, cut down all profits and
Oancnd m II, kN Ro
loans. Mortgages were necessary,
but every investor looked forward
to selling his feeces. This would
tide over the situation. What really
happened? Wool had been sent in
FROM other countries in such quanti-
ties at such low rates that our in
dustry could not compete. We had
flooded market. High prices for
manufactured wool had caused the
housewife and other consumers to
substitute or do without. A lessened
demand for manufactured wool such
as blankets, suits, rugs and carpets
were noticeable. This hit the pro.
ducer both ways and today we find
the ware houses glutted from over
supply, the selling price way below
what it cost to produce the fleece and
the producer ruined.
We find the eve selling on the
Chicago market for $50 per ton.
Think of it. Cheaper than tankage,
that we feed to hogs. y
Can we, the thinking women of
Idaho, sit still and see one Of our
greatest Industries vanish without
using our influence to prevent It?
Millions OF pounds of wool have
been shipped from this Gem state.
Millions of pounds Of mutton have
been shipped to other states to help
build fine herds. Think of the
money returned to this state. Think
Of what these returns meant to mer-
chants, bankers and then to the
growth of our commonwealth. Shall
We, the club women, see this industry
perish or will we use our every ef-
fort to put over the Buy d Pound
of Wool" campaign? Let us go to
our merchants and get them inter-
ested in wool sales that will clean
their shelves before spring arrives
Let us, above all else, write our
senators and congressman in Wash
ington demanding an embargo, a pro-
tective tariff, on foreign wool and
mutton. Let us do this for the,
Idaho we love. 4>

The Mockus Case Decided.
RESPONDENT MUST PAY THE PENALTY
FOB BLAsPHKMY.

Decision has been received by Clerk
OF Courts Donald B. Partridge 10 the
case Of State vs. Michael z. Mockus.
II is In brief, exceptions overruled.
Judgment for the State"
This is one the most celebrated oases
Of Oxford County. Michael <. Mockus,
o Lithuanian, was indicted ct the Octo-
Der term, 1919, for alleged blasphemy
uttered In series OF lectures given to
Lithuanian residents of Rumford In
their native tongue. 1t attracted much
attention, a. there have been very few
cases tried In this country for the Of
fence named.
There was quite lengthy trial at the
same term at which the indictment was
found, with Justice John A. Morrill,
presiding. County Attorney Frederick
r. Dyer represented the state, and Hon
Frank A. Morey of Lewiston the re.
spondent. Most Of the testimony had
to be taken through interpreters, and
several interpreters and at least one
Lithuanian lawyer were engaged as
assistants in the case. A verdict Of
guilty was returned by the jury, and
sentence of not less than one year nor
more than two years in state prison was
imposed.
The case went to the law court on ex-
captions, and cash bail of $500 was
furnished by the respondent. Argu-
ments were made. at the term Of the law
court last June.
