PASSING THE BUCK.

President Harding says that
the unemployment problem is
primarily one for the State and
local governments, and the In
dianapolis News counters by ask
ing if it is a government prob
lem at all.
Iii not a government prob
lem; it is an economic problem.
Nothing tangible will come out
Of the Washington conference;
nothing tangible would come
out of a conference held at
Frankfort or Louisville.
One of the oldest decisions of
society is that there is some
magic power in government"
to cure economic:ills, and, dur
ing century after century, ef-
forts to accomplish this have
been made. Sometimes we see
laws proposed to fix prices of
commodities, quite regardless of
the law of supply and demand.
And then again we have propos-
ais to regulate wages by law,
minimum wage boards, and the
like. And in every period Of
unemployment a loud cry goes
up for the: government to take
hold.
As a matter of fact, there is
greater excuse for government
officials exerting themselves to
cure unemployment than to pass
laws fixing prices and wages.
A period of.unemployment is, of
all things, the ffmost painful to
society. There can be nothing
more pathetic than the man who
| is willing to work and cannot
find work. But this may not be
cured by government. On the
other hand, it has been proven
again and again that the more
acknowledgements refrains
from interfering, the more rap
idly does unemployment pass.
PresidenttHarding seems dis
posed in this matter to pass the
buck to the State and local gov.
ernments; he would do better to
frankly acknowledge that this is
a matter in which government
can do nothing-Louisville Post.

KILLS COYOTE IN PIG Pen
NEAR MORELAND.- .-RAB|O

Thursday morning as John Lee
went out to do chores, his attention
was attracted to the pig pen on ac-
count of apporent trouble among the
pigs. Upon approaching the pen
he found a coyote in the pen fight
ing with the old sow. Both were
putting up vicious attack upon
each other, the old pig making the
hair fly from her opponent and the
coyote biting the nose of the old
pig quite severely. Mr.. Lee rushed
to the house for his gun to kill the
animal and upon arriving at the
pen again found Mr.. Coyote still
there, standing guard on the pigs
in the corner. Mr.. Lee approached
within five feet of him. He put on
very bold front ana acted like he
was ready to make an attack upon
the man when Mr.. Coyote dropped
dead from the discharge of the gun.
It is not known whether or not it
was rabid but it is considered very
likely that it was 1rom its actions

SOUTHERN IDAHO
FARMERS LEAD
IN SENDING WHEAT IN ANSWER
TO ARMENIA'S CRY FOR
FOOD
1900 BUSHELS WE'RE SHIPPED
THIS IS ABOUT ONE-HALF THE
QUOTA FOR THIS
SECTION

South Idaho's farmers are the
first among growers of the whole
northwest to forward gifts of wheat
in answer to Armenia's cry for
food.
The Upper Snake River Valley,
under the leadership of James Duck
worth Of Blackfoot, as District
Chairman for the Near East Relief
Committee, has won the distinction
OF being the first to speed a share
of its harvest on the way to save
Armenia's orphan children from
starvation. according to word from
the state headquarters Of the relief
body at Boise.
with free transportation granted
by the Oregon Short Line, the first
carload, 1900 bushels of South Ida
ho wheat for Near East Relief, was
shipped out OF Idaho Falls a few
days ago to st. Joe, Mo. That city
is one Of the collecting centers for
the gigantic mercy pool of five
million bushels of grain, which the
American farmers are endeavoring
to gather for the foodless thousands
Of Armenia, Southern Russia and
the Bible lands. where starvation,
cholera and typhus are taking a
hideous toll of life among the desti-
tute sufferers.
This is approximately one half
the quota sought for the Upper
Snake River district, composed of
Bingham, Bonneville, Butte, Clark,
|
ton counties, and is about one sew
enth of the wheat sought for Near
East Relief from South Idaho as
| whole.
Nearly 5000 bushels Of wheat Is
asked from the Lower Snake River
valley district, where the aid-gath-
ering program is headed by David
r. Langlois of Burley. This dis
trict comprises Twin Falls, Minido-
ka, Lincoln, Jerome. Gooding, Cas-
sia, Camas and Blaine counties.
Under the leadership Of VIM. A.
Hyde Of Pocatello. the wheat coun-
ties of southeastern Idaho-Power,
Bannock, Frnaklin, Bear Lake. Car
ibou and Oneida counties-are
driving toward a goal of about
| 400 bushels. Other South Idaho
counties are giving their share In
milk.
Every wheat grower in this vi
cnity is asked for a part of his
crop for the starving people of the
Near East, who have nothing. Ten
bushels of wheat will care for
child seven months. Local dealers
in the big relief movement are striv-
Ing to complete this districts share.

Morgan, early this morning while
the beei cattle barn of the univer-
sity college of agriculture was burn
ing.
The fire started a, 2:30 apparent
ly from defective wiring, and was
we'll under way when it was discov-
cred. Realizing the value of the 40
purebred Shorthorns and Herefords
that occupied the Stalls, Professor
and Mrs. Morgan, who live on the
farm, bent their first efforts to saw
ing them and were practically
through getting them out when
other help arrived.
The only loss of livestock was of
two or three animals that broke
away after being rescued and rush
ed back into the fire.
The flames had gained such head
way when other help came that the
fire could not be stopped and the
barn was totally destroyed.
The beef barn was one of the old
er structures on the university
farm. Its size was 60x6O, with a
machine shed 60x3O and another
wing SOx3O. LOSS OF feed, straw and
silage was estimated by. university
officials to have amounted to $4,000
or $4,000. The building itself was
insured. Silos adjoining the barn
! were damaged.
Arrangements are being made to
care for the beef cattle herd for the
| winter in temporary quarters.

FAMILY REUNION

The home of Mr.. and Mrs z.
q. Walton has recently been the
scene for two weeks of thanks
giving, pleasure and recreation
The dark side OF the picture Of
life was turued 10 the wall and
the withering crops for The time
forgotten.
A short time previous to this
their son, Orvil b., came home
from Jacksonville, Florida, where
he had been TOR three years. Their
son, Otto Q. has recently return
ed home from Houma, La, where
he had been in school since last
fall. Their son, DR.. b. F. his wife
and three daughters of Houma,
La. and Mr.. Herbert Garcie and
Miss Gertrude Peres of New Or
leans came thru the country in
The doctors auto, arriving on July
18th. On the 10Th their daughter,
Ruth, now Mrs. w. II. Parker of
of Jacksonville, Florida, came.
When their daughter, Mrs Maude
jackson aud her little son Lamar,
added their presence, the circle
was complete. For two weeks
they had feasting, music and
dancing.
Al one time during this re-
union at chick en- supper given
for their friends, there were five
states, Ind, Fla, La, Tenn, and
Miss. and six of our best and lar
geSt cities, Indianapolis, Ind 3,
jacksonville, Fla, New Orleans,

and StalIo, Miss. represented in

But all good things earthly
must end. The reunion is over,
the children are scattered, the
picture of life turns round and
round upon the wall, and the
heat and drouth are still more
intense.
