FINISHED HIS FLOWING.

w. NJ. Mundy, who lives in the
Cavatts Creek neighborhood, was in
the office several weeks ago, and
stated that he had broken already
all his land for this seasons crop of
corn and expected to use some fer
tilizer and try for at least seventy
five bushels per acre, and if season
suits expected Mt least that number
of bushels per acre.
Ground for corn should be broken
during the winter season, particular
ly sod land. The winter freeze pull
verizes the soil. and at the same
time destroys the eggs of insects,
and invariably insures better crop.
Another ndvantage-winter plow-
ing gets that heavy work off and out
of the way. To leave off until spring
often, on account of bad weather
means rush and late planting. II
would appear the wise thing to do
keep the plows running at every OPP
portunity during the winter months.

don't know anyone who holds a brief
for Mn. Schawb. But why didn't some
of the fellows who are so vocifer.
Gus now say something and make
themselves heard Mt the proper time
1t is easy for one of even moderate
intelligence to say, II told you so,'
after the fellow who sweated blood
to accomplish the task given or even
thrust upon him.
Now, as to the check Mr.. Schawbq
is said to have personally received
everyone who knows anything at all
knows that red tape had to be cut
from Alpha to Omega to get the
work done. Mr.. Schawb had to no
doubt had to circumvent and use his
brains to get things done and done
in time. 1t is pucrile and mean
(besides, as Mr.. Piez says, untrue),
for some whipper-snapper to insin-
uate that Mr.. Schawb took any mon
ey that did not belong to him.

Editor Of The News:
Just few years ago when the
Germans were devasting game little
Belgium and hurting her thunder
bolts of war and using poison gas
to conquer the world and make it
subservient to her so-called imperial
will, to what people did the world
look to save humanity from such
degradation? When Belgium, France
and England were saying, oh, that
Butcher would come!"-when the
time came to negotiate for peace,
who was it that spoke for humanity
And when that man, President Wood
row Wilson, spoke. in the midst of
turmoil and strife, who said he was
wrong? Not man in or out of Con-
gress (while the strife was going
ON. Everybody was praying that
his PRONUNCIATION would have effect.
No one in print that l recall reviled
tho president until after the armis-
tice was signed. He, as we learned
afteiward, consulted the brainest
men In both the republican and de-
mocratic parties-many of them Of
fering suggestions which were adop-
ted. Who said the president was
wrong, or offered any constructive
advice which was not considered
while negotiations were going on ?
Not soul In or out of Congress.
Now, at the present time, who Is
raising indignant clamor about hay-
ing built wooden ships while the wnr
was going on when everybody.
England, Belgium, France and ,all
the CIVILIZED world were praying for
ships, and yet more ships" Tile
nope OF humanity was: CBuiid them

Is kicking? Why wasn't there a kick
while the building was going on2 I

All Ford Dealers /:

Several inquiries have recent.
ly come To us concerning the
likelihood of another reduction
in the price of our cars, and as
the inquiries no doubt emanate
from prospective purchasers, we
want to state again with great
er emphasis that Ford cars are
already being sold at figure
actually below cost and for on
indefinite period another reduc-
ton or change in design is en-
tirely out of the question and
not at all contemplated.
We believe the public will be
fair enough to fully appreciate
the frankness of the above
when they consider the extent
of our recent price cut which
was in fact the equivalent of
several reductions in one, in
our desire tc contribute toward
satisfying their demands for
lower living costs notwithstand-
ing our sacrifice in marketing
our cars at loss until we are
able to materially reduce pres
ent costs through lower mate
rial prices and greater manufac-
turing efficiency. While we have
of course made some progress
in bringing down operating
costs, we still have q long way

COTTON REDUCTION.

Cotton is grown in about 10 South
en states. The largest grower is
Texas, with 100000 bales, in 1920.
South Carolina next with 100000
bales and Georgin, 100000 bales.
A bale weight 600 lbs.
In 1914 spot cotton sold ut cents
on the market. The price rose to 40
cents in 1919. In July 1920 the price
rose to A cents and so cent cotton
was talked of. But. it started down
the toboggan. and by the end of 1920
was IA 81 cents.

to go before any thought can be
given to further reductions in
present car prices, SO we have
no hesitancy in making these
open statements to acquaint you
with the true situation
You can therefore give as
surance to prospective punches
ers of Ford cars that now is
their real opportunity to buy
below cost and obtain delivery.
Everyone Is familiar with the
heavy demand for Ford cars in
the Spring and this year will
be no exception, as in spite of
conditions, business is already
rapidly accommodating, so that
many who desire Ford cars will
be obliged to wait perhaps UNI
til midsummer for delivery
causing considerable inconven-
fence and possibly financial loss,
particularly to commercial Gus
toners.
We expect you to protect the
interests of prospective buyers
in your community by placing
these facts before them.
Yours very truly,

ALLEGED MURDERER OF
. HUSBAND GOES ON TRIA!
If Permitted by Court, Prose
cution Intends Going Into
Accused Woman's Past Life

TWIN FALLE, Sept. 26.-U. P)-
The trial of Mrs. Lydia Southard, the
alleged feminine "bluebeard," opened
today. She was specifically charged
with the murder of her fourth hus-
band, Edward Meyer, but the state
alleges she also poisoned three previ-
Gus husbands, as well as stepchild
and brother-in-law. She has plead
ed not guilty. Life insurance is held
by the state as the motive for the al
legged crimes.
At the time of her arrest, Mrs.
Southard expressed the belief that she
was typhoid carrier, the baby,
brother-in-law and two husbands hav-
ing died from such disease, according
to the death certificate. Paul Vincent
Southard, the woman's fifth husband
petty officer in the navy was with
his accused wife as the trial opened.
People are crowding into the city to

"I eat better, sleep better, and work
better than have in years and Tanlac

Gates, r. r. d. No. 3, Box 1lS, Port

II had stomach trouble in its worst
form for at least five years and for the
past two or three years was in such
bad shape that half the time wasn't I
able to do any work at all and was
scarcely able to drag myself around.
| ate barely enough to sustain life, and
even then | suffered tortures at times
from indigestion. l was so nervous
got very little rest either day or night
and in the mornings / would get up
with splitting headache.
II had very little hope Of ever being
well again when | started on Tanlac
and IL certainly is remarkable the way
this medicine has rid be of all my
troubles and fixed me up so that reel
better than l have in many years
Tanlac has certainly done a good 1on
for me-"

Market for Power
| A market for 10000 horsepower OF

pumping to the 10000 acres of irri-
gable lands adjoining the power site.
A profitable market for $4,000
horsepower of primary power and
$4,000 horsepower of secondary pow

posed first unit installation of 10000

A profitable market for 125,OOC

$50. 900 horsepower of secondary pow

installation of $4,000 horsepower car

If all the railroads in Oregon were
electrified it would require only abou

If existing power companies nov
