THE END OF A FOOLISH
THEORY

Those credulous and unintelligent
citizens OF America who have been
shrieking the praises Of Sovietism in
Russia and even calling for Sovietism
in the United States of America, are
certainly up against II now that events
have plainly proved that communism
is a total failure.
For years the advocates Of an i'm
possible, foolish theory have insisted
that the success of communism in
Russia was held back by the blockade.
Now publication OF customs office
and other official trade figures in
Great Britain show that in 1920, Brit
fish exports to Russia, direct or through
the Scandinavian neighbors of Russia,
were alone upwards of five hundred
millions OF dollars and almost as much
in 1919. Great blockade, wasn't it?
Then they said that but for the in
surrection fathered by the western
Countries, communism would have gone
ahead successfully. There has been
no civil war for nearly a year and no
blockades, yet the state Of affairs In
Russia today Is far worse than under
those conditions. SO bad, indeed. that
Lenin himself is inviting capitalism
back, promising property rights and
property protection and is willing to
do anything that will revive Russia
from the utter collapse into which the
c%ommunistic insanity has thrown It,
Incidentally. II civil war and block
ade were his handlcaps. why should
Lenin throw up his hands now when
he has neither OF them?
1t was a good thing for the world
that We have this experiment of nearly
four years In Russia. Utopia has been
claimed for communism for three
quarters of a century and there was
no experiences 10 completely refute the
claims. Nobody of average intelligence
need ever be in doubt again that COM
munism in practice is a total, grue-
zone failure,

BETTER THAN THE DAM OR
NEW TOWNSHIP

American Falls Is offered something
this week far better than either the
greatest reservoir i'm the world, or a
new and beautiful townsite, the envy
of the Snake river Valley. II is the
the realization OF "a, 900 acres OF high
ly productive land In the extension
southwark OF the Fort Hall Project.
The department OF Indian Affairs
has stated that Il has available for pre-
liminary surveys of the proposed ex-
tension, $1,000. The state will put
$500 more in the pot and the Power
Irrigation District is asked to 'con-
tribute between $500 and $500. In all
IL is proposed to make available APP
proximately $1,000 for surveys that
will determine whether or not the pro-
ject is feasible from an engineering
and irrigation standpoint.
Twenty four thousand acres OF lr-
rigated land contiguous to American
Falls would mean added valuations
In excess of two million dollars In add
dition to an annual income not less
than half n million. The project would
be permanent and would yield increas-
ed returns as the years 30 by.
The district promptly accepted the
opportunity and has guaranteed the
state department of Reclamation $500
any time the call for II is made. With
in three months we should know that
the project Is feasible from an en-
cheering standpoint oil impossible Of
realization. In either case the money
Will have been we'll invested.

Dear Mrs. Ellsburry:- / have heard
II said by old settlers here, that there
is gold enough in any of the sand or
soil along the Snake River at this
place, so that one can make good
wages by panning. Kindly advise thru
your question and answer column if
this is true.
Ans. Investigation of your problem
reveals the fact that no one has ever
made more than a bare living from
|panning gold out of Snake river.
Years ago the "skim bars in the river
were panned for gold and one or two
industrious skimmers made enough
to provide themselves with food. 1t
is stated by old miners that when
|panning was at its best it required
three thousand particles of gold to
make a cent. / can find no authority
or basis for any statement that one
can make good wages by panning gold
out Of Snake River.
Dear Mrs. Ellsburry:- l have re-
Gently come to American Falls and
can't seem to get acquainted. l have
always lived III a large city and had
many friends and small town life
seems ~unbearable to me. / probably
will have to remain here with my hus-
band and family indefinitely. Is there
any way that l can enjoy life better?

experience of everyone who comes
from the city to the small town. That
is nearly everyone. The fact that you
are bored to death is not a reflection
on either you or the town unless your
boredom remains permanently with
you. You must learn to accept people
and conditions as they are. Once you
have done this the rest is easy. Don't
think that the Womens Club is ex-
elusive and superficial any more than
you are yourself. If your newly made
acquaintance insist on talking crops,
scandal, and Uncle Georges new suit,
don't try to interest them in archi-
lecture and literature. Make the in
terests of the town your in~terests'and
you will Boon find that the people of
the town are interested in you. Part
~icularly, try not to reflect the big
city and the big city ways. Be natur-
al and a good fellow and the rest will
come to you.
My Dear Madam:- l wish you
would say something about the bath
ing apparel worn by ome of our young
girls in American Falls. l do not
want to appear prudish but feel that
some restriction should be made re-
gardlng n piece suits for girls.
Ans. If immodest suits were gem
orally worn you would have just cause
for complaint. A few random in
stances however cannot be criticised
except in the expression of regret that
there are always a few girls who over
step the bounds of modesty. The
writer feels that one piece bathing
suits are the proper thing for swim
mers whether boys or girls. OF course
they should not be allowed to accentu-
ate y~ulgarity. One piece suits are
just as modest as full skirts when
properly worn. High necks are GER
tainly more modest than low ones.
And a suit that is too tight reflects on
the womanliness of the wearer. How
yer you have no real cause to worry
until bathing suits are generally worn
much more immodestly than at pres
ent.
Dear Mrs. Ellsburry:- What is the

The people of Arbon Valley are to

advertisement Of the fact that the peo-
pie Of the valley are awake to their

Dear Mrs. Ellsburry:- / have been

most four years now. Both of them

You certainly cannot be in love with

lem. If not you will be better off with
