TO INSURE HEALTHY CALVES
II Cow Does Not Receive Abundance
Of PaIatabIe Feed, Weak, Puny
Calf Results.

Poorly nourished cows give birth to
weak, puny calves which are hard to
raise. The feeding Of the calf, there
fore, begins before 1t Is born. The food
elements necessary for the develop
ment Of the calf are taken into the
stomach Of the COW, digested, assimi-
lated and transmitted to the calf
through the umbilical cord, the con-
nection between the mother and the
calf. 1t is evident that If the COW
does not receive food enough to keep
herself in thrifty condition and at the
same time develop her calf, say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, both she and the
calf must suffer.
In endeavoring to raise good, thrifty
calves many dairymen handicap them
selves at the start by not properly
feeding the pregnant cows. Such cows
should have an abundance Of palatable
and succulent or juicy feed in order to
insure good body flesh and healthy,
thrifty condition at calving time. The
calves will then be well developed,
strong and sturdy. and ready to re-
spond- Normally to proper feed and
care. S.

FURTHER BANK FAILURES
IMPROBABLE

Banks have failed at Delco, Bur-
ley and Idaho Falls, Idaho during
the last ten days and this does not
reveal anything especially new in
business. All lines Of business have
been hard put to weather the finan-
cial stringency and banks have been
frankly confessing to the people all
the time, that they were running
on as close margins as they thought
was safe, endeavOring to make their
loaning capacity do the greatest good
that was possible.
One of the banks that failed at
Burley last spring, has reorzaniged
and is doing business again; and in
most cases of bank failures in Idaho
this year, the depositors are pro-
tected, there being one notable ex-
ception at Pocatello. The failure at
Idaho Falls last week, was the re-
suit of a long struggle to try to pull
the bank thru, and while the other
banks in Idaho Falls protested to
sincerely regret the failure, yet 1t
does not seem that they put their re-
greet into action to try to save the
bank. In statement issued by the
four surviving banks, they say that
they had been helping the weaker
bank in proportion, to their capital
stock, and that the total amount of
money loaned by the surviving bank
to the state bank, the one that failed,
was $23,500 or about $500 apiece.
They also admit that they received
ample security for these loans, hay
ing received for the security two dol
lars worth of collateral for each dol
lar of the loan.
It has been our understanding that
bankers in these days, were glad
to help one another in cases of
trouble, but we do not regard this
as an example of actually helping
the state bank, when it needed help.
If these other strong banks loaned
it only $4,000 apiece, they did not
give it very much help when they
took two dollars worth of collateral
for every dollars worth of the loan,
they put themselves outside of the

Steady Growth Tends to Success.
Men who have travelled In every
part of the United States observing
the work Of cooperative Organizations
Of various kinds, believe that the sue
cess Of widespread cooperative mar
keting may be endangered through q
poorly conceived hope or expectation
that hard and fast organization Of
producers will make 1t possible to sell
anything and everything at prede-
termined price without regard to quail
ity or conditions. This is a dangerous
attitude to assume.
Men who have given close attention
to the subject declare that there Is a
widespread feeling that 1t Is possible
to revolutionize completely the entire
system Of marketing and attain sue
cess from the outset. This, Of course,
is impossible because 1t is necessary
to build upon a solid foundation and
to work out the many problems In
volved carefully. Steady, substantial
and healthy growth tends to perma-
nency and success.

ENCOURAGE THE
ADVERTISER

There Is paragraph in the re-
ports Of the business failures Of the
present year. that gives the news
paper fresh courage to go on recon-
mending the use of his advertising
columns. 1t is the statement made
by Bradstreet and Dunn, that "a per
cent Of the firms that failed in bust
ness during the year were people who
did not advertise.
1t may be that advertising would
not have tided them over IL they had
used it, but there is room for the as
sumption that the firms that use ad-
vertising discreetly are more likely
to succeed in hard times than those
who give up and quit advertising.
1t has been proven over and over
again by the experience Of firms that
were selling popular goods, made
popular by advertising, that when
they quit the advertising and as
sunled that they could carry on their
business because they were so we'll
known, they have found their bust
ness dropping off, until in few
years they were practically out of
business, because other favorite
brands had been advertised and put
on the market, to the exclusion of
their own.
Examples can be found where
firms that advertised profusely
failed, but it is difficult to find ex-
amples of firms that advertised pru-
IDENTIFY and persistently have failed.
And there are plenty of examples of
firms that seemed to be facing failure
and advertised carefully and in con-
siderable volume and redeemed their
business from the failure it was con-
frOnted by.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture
Specialists In the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture urge con-
stantly the establishing Of uniform
standards for farm products, and de-
clare that IL these standards are
maintained, once they have been
adopted, the confidence of the public
will be established, and the success
Of cooperative marketing more gen.
orally assured. Too many organiza-
tons are brought into being as a re-
suit Of enthusiasm created by appeals
TO prejudice and by misconception.
The proper foundation is through a
well-recognized need for an organiza-
tiOn.
cooperative principles" said a CO.
operative specialist of the bureau Of
markets, must be adhered to In the
organization and operation Of farm
ers' marketing associations. The
farmers themselves cannot be expect
ed to have a vital interest in a mar
keting organization operated for the
profit Of and controlled by a few per-
sons. Such an organization should be
operated, Of course, to effect savings
and to render service and not to earn
profits for distribution as dividends on
money invested. A fair rate of inter-
est is granted to the capital invested
by the members, and the remainder
Of any surplus to be distributed should
be divided in accordance with patron
age, that is, the amount Of business
transacted with. the organization.
Loyalty 10 Essential.
1.-The membership should be open to
producers only who desire to avail
themselves Of its facilities and there
should be safeguards to prevent the
ownership and control of the enter
prise from falling into the hands of
few persons. The success Of the en-
tire effort depends upon the loyalty of
the members and their interest in the
organization, the high standards they
maintain, and their distinct under
standing that as a business associa-
ton it should be managed by man
or men able to earn dignified COM
pensation. Disloyalty has caused the
failure Of more than. one cooperative
organization, and 1t is a weakness
which can be remedied only by the
members themselves.
"The manager, Of course. is the
keystone supporting the business. The
salary offered him should attract high
class ability as in any business look
ing to success, and he should have au-
thority to support his work. An en-
tire business can be ruined by an in
competent manager at its head.

AN ENGLISH STATESMAN

Lord Curzon, secretary of state for
foreign affairs Of Great Britain, in a
speech in London a few days ago, re-
garding the speech of Premier
BRAND of France on the necessity
for France maintaining a large mill
tary force, stated that France could

desires Of the whole world for re-
duction Of armament. He said that

position where they could claim to
have helped the bank. We do not
think 1t was actually helping the
state bank to survive, but rather 1t
seems to US 1t was helping them to
60 broke, when they took $1,000
worth of notes and securities for
every $4,000 loaned to them. Bank
ers have the reputation of being cold
blooded and it seems in this case
they were cold blooded among them
selves.
When people are thinking Of
banks they should remember that
most of the towns in Idaho have all
the banks that they need, and some
of them have more than are needed.
When a small town has two or three
banks and another one starts, it is
good time to consider whether the
volume of business in the town
justifies the new venture. These
new enterprises are generally estab-
lished when times are good, and
after a new bank has run a year or
SO 1t generally has hard shedding
unless times are good, but If times
shedding for the new bank as a rule.
In communities where the banks
failed this year the reason given is
the slow payment by the people to
whom the banks have been loaning.
When farmers have had partial crop
failures, or when they have raised
those certain kinds of crops for
which there was little or no market,
or where the crops raised were too
much Of one kind, and the price
happened to be very low on those
things, then the farmers and stock
men have been unable to meet the
bills to the extent the bank hoped
they would, and at this time of the
year the banks find out that they are
going to succeed, or they are not
going to succeed. We doubt If any
of this condition Of shortage applies
in the Blackfoot country, due to the
fact that nearly all crops have been
very good and the diversified farm
ing of the Blackfoot country enables
almost everyone to market some
thing at fair price. Nearly every
body has irrigated farms; there is
scarcely anything dependent upon
the returns from the dry farm lands. |
There has been pretty good car
supply to carry away what the people |
wanted to market and 1t is our judy |
ment that the finances of the Black
foot banks, and of the people of the
Blackfoot country, are as good as in |
any location in the state.

safety of France lies not In the
strength of her army, not In the
courage of her people, not In the
splendid spirit of optimism Of her
people, SO much as In the enlightened
conscience of the world. He says the
whole world Is determined to have
peace, and that any nation that puts
any distractions in the way to block
peace, or thru an exaggerated idea
OF its own danger, will injure itself
by losing the confidence of the
world. He wants France to be made
perfectly safe, but that all the ma
tions of the world acting in accord
can protect France.
The conference that is called for
the purpose of considering reduction
OF land ornaments will not be called
until after the naval program has
been mapped out and put into execu-
ton.
America or whoever called the
conference, must have plan all
worked out and the analysis of every
question completed, the answer
ready for every objection that might
be raised, so that that conference
will be a success just like this one is
being made a success. That will
establish confidence in peace conven-
ton. No nation can afford to call
peace convention unless they have
proposals to lay before the conven-
ton that will be so sound and so
constructive in their affects that
everything can be accomplished
under them that appears on the face
of the proposal so that other benefits
will automatically follow.
We predict that no conference will
be called for the reduction of land
ornaments until after some of the
automatic results have been achieved
on naval reduction. The powers that
are in the present peace conference,
when they have agreed upon their
naval reduction, and have made such
reductions, will then be in position
to call upon the smaller naval powers
of the world and submit to them a
concrete proposal for the reduction
of their own ornaments, making the
proposal so sound that there will be
no good reason for not accepting and
acting upon them. In that way the.
naval reductions might be extended
to all the nations of the world. They
might even be invited. to participate
in the sinking of the vessels, by call
ing them all out into deep water and
sinking ship at a time by the larger
nations and then having the little
nations follow suit in their turn, so
that all the reduction might be made
at the same meeting Of navies. When
they have carried out a program like
that it would cultivate so much con-
fidence and so much of the feeling of
progress and the desire for peace,
and the belief in the achievement of
peace, that it would be easier to hold
. peace conference on reduction of
armament and all the nations par
ticipating in it could approach such
q conference with feeling of con-
Fidence.

Austria. if the Allies hold the
plebiscite decided upon last week at

held for the study of the Burgenland

Austria's economic and social col
