sian officers formerly Of General
Wrangles army. who were brought
to .Greece when the Crimea was eva
cuated and who have found it impos-
sible to secure other employment,
have turned their hand to domestic
and household pursuits.
Recently one of them WAS seen on
the streets of Athens wheeling a baby
carriage. He was a handsome Cos
sack colonel and his sturdy build,
martial air and fine features made
him a conspicuous figure. His charge.
a rosy checked baby belonging to a
wealthy Atheuian family, took evident
delight in its stalwart, good-natured
nurse. who showed the youngster as
much care and affection as the most
devoted mothers
The servant problem does not exist
in Athens At least the Greek house
keeper has no such difficulties in this
respect as her sister in America, for
she can always fill the places Of maids,
cooks and kitchen hands with former
Russian soldiers and officers, of whom
there are thousands in Greece.
These eX-militarv men are willing TO
take up the most humble calling il 1t
will bring them bread and shelter,
Hunreds of them are now acting as

this region, for no matter what we
may think about the hay business
this is a natural hay country. II is
especially adapted to the successful
raising Of that product, and always
will be.
II we cannot send the hay out TO
market, we can bring the market
to the hay, in the form OF dairy
COWS. To 20 into the dairy busl-
ness to secure prosperity means the
application OF industry and thrift.
Il is a business that takes more
time, more effort and more capital
than the raising OF hay, but It pays.
The situation IN every dairy section
at the present time proves this to be
so, II is not a matter OF theory. Il
is a proven fact. But how is dairy
business to be established In this
section? That is the question to
which the people OF this region must
address themselves. Apparently II
Is the only hope.

THE SMALL FARM

On a ten acre tract at the edge
Of Ontario there lives a man and
wife who, the Argus is reliably in
formed, made, over and above their
living expenses. 5000 during the
past year. They did this in spite
OF the fact that they paid a high
water tax, and high. taxes for their
land Ia close TO the city and carries
a high valuation.
A rancher who has nearly 1000
acres in the upper valley. under ir-
rigatlon, highly developed too. as n
stock ranch. recently told the Argus
that he had lost over $4,000 this
year.
why this difference in results7
The answer In simple. The one
rancher handled his little ranch by
himself. He had a little fruit. some
vegetables. n number OF hens pro-
duoing eggs. and a few cows. The
combination, under HIS care brought
In money every month In the year.
The hens and COWS paid the run
ming expenses OF the farm and sup
ported the family, while the fruit
crop nettod the cash profit for the
season.
The big farm proved too much
for ono man, OF course. He raised
alfalfa only. and fed Il to stock.
The stock fell in price, but the cost
OF water, the wages 10 his men did
not shrink In proportion to his In
come. The result is years lost
effort for that rancher, and an act
ual cash loss beside.
The experience of these two men
could bo duplicated many times In
this valley. The experience OF the
first furnishes the way out OF the

PROsPERITY-WHAT rs IT?

Wnnt IL prosperity III IL not, IN
the modern conception, TO have suf-
ficient to supply the present needs,
and a surplus for the rainy day; to
make enough from each days labor
to care for ones family, and provide
o little balance2
In other words is not prosperity a
combination OF plain old-fasbioned
industry and thrift combined7
How can a country or n section OF
a country secure prosperity Not
by any magic token, not by any act
OF congress or the state legislature,
not by the fiat OF any individual or
set OF individuals, but by the earn
est. persistent, consistent work OF
all.
We here In the Snake river valley,
region truly blest with wonderful
possibilities, rich in all the natural
elements for prosperous people
have had prosperity. Generally
speaking tho people here, over a
period OF years, have enjoyed their
share OF llfo's blessings.
There IL no denying that condl-
tions are not tho best now. There
is a reason. This country has In
the past built It's material wealth
upon one line OF endeavor. the
stock business. That business has,
in its cycle reached a low ebb. and
with II has gone the foundation up
ON which the prosperity OF all the
allied industries is based
In this situation then. the country
finds itself: Everywhere there 10
an abundance OF hay and grain, and
no market, stookmen cannot afford.
with tho present prices they receive
to buy the ranoher's hay at n price
at which the hay man can afford
10 sell. The hay cannot be shipped
out for the freight rates and other
charges II added to n fair price for
the hay In tho field make the price
TO tho consumer 80 high that he
cannot buy.
Logically there is then but one
thing 10 do. That Is to secure other
markets for this natural product OF

1t spells danger for the public.
And yet the public has nothing TO
say In the preliminafies to this
strike. But Il will have something
to say in the outcome. The men
and the management both know
that the public has the larger inter-
est at stake, and the public is in no
temper to be trifled with.
Regardless of arguments that
either side may present the public
knows that there is today in this
country millions OF dollars worth of
produce that is needed in some sec
tions for which the consumer would
pay a reasonable price, while that
same product rots on the farms and
ranches because the high freight
rates preclude the possibility OF
shipment. whether Il is that the
management OF the railroads is ar
bitrary in keeping up the rates, or
must keep them up to pay the wage
scale In erect, the public Is uncer-
tain. Il does know, however, that
the railroad men are, to a degree at
least, prospering, while the ranch
ers are going broke. Rightly or
wrongly, the public believes the
railroad men the highest paid work.
Rcn in the land. The public knows,
TOO. that the government had to
take. a half billion from the nption-
al treaury to reimburse the rail-
roads for losses sustained under
government operation. Therefore
they want no more government
operations. They do want lower
rates. and they see in the wage
scale reduction the way to secure
that result.
This may be false reasoning, but
II represents about what the public
thinks. And what the public thinks
is what will count n a strike Ia call
