FEDERAL HIGHWAY AID HELPS

Government is taking q step that

relieving the present unemployment
situation and in somo States il

employment of men who otaewise
would be thrown out of work and
thus swell the ranks of the idle.
This Federal money is to be
matched by funds under the direct
control of the State highway de-
partment When so matched, and in
many cases the States have taken
action and are simply awaiting the
availability Of tho Government ap-
preparation, it is estimated that II
will make possible road work which
will give employment to from 100000

of employment includes men EN-

in addition men employed in produc-

To get the benefit of Federal road
building funds each State must ap-
propriate at least as much money
as is allotted to it by the Federal
Government, with the exception Of
few States having unoccupied pub

per cent OF the States era. In
these cases the states share Is re-
duced. The States share must be
under the direct and sole control
OF the State government. No money
controlled in any way by county or
local officials can be used to match
Federal funds. Provision also must
be made for the maintenance of all
roads built in participation with
Federal aid, by the State govern
ment.
Some States have not had State
controlled funds heretofore and have
been matching Federal aid money
under the previous law by using

Why Flowers Have Odors.

The primary object Of the flower
on any plant is to produce seed in
order that the plant itself may pro-
pagate, or give rise to other plants,
through seeds. But before seeds can
be completely formed, they must be
fertilized by the pollen from other
plants, brought to them In the mai
ority Of cases by various kinds Of
insects The insects, in turn, must
be attracted to the flowers, They
must be informed Of the presence of
food, and it ID for this reason that
flowers are bright colored and have
odors which appeal to two of the
senses of the pollen bearers, and this
serve double purpose.
AS rule, flowers which do not
possess a sweet or attractive odor
do not need the assistance OF insects
to bring the pollen to them. They
depend mainly upon the wind and
nature, which conserves everything
which is not necessary to plant life
and therefore has not wasted appeal
ing scents upon them.

Why Is The Red Sea Red9

The name by which the Hebrews
knew the Red Sea, the Van Suph, or
see of weeds, of sedge, would appear
TO give little indication of the rea-
son for the title which has been
applied to this body of water in lat
er year. But, as a matter OF fact,
two terms have common origin.
Unlike the Beautiful Blue Dam
ube." which is really dirty yellow
ish brown, the Red Sea Is really red
the color being due to the prevalence
of a minute bright red plant, a kind
of sea weed. This plant is said to be
so small that 25,000,000 can live
and thrive within single cubic inch
of water. Therefore, instead of being
notified with red, the sea appears
in many cases to be scarlet shade.
A red dye, which tradition says was
used hundreds Of years ago, is made
from this weed, but in the places
where it is not found the waters of
the Red Sea are as blue or green as
those Of amy other body of water.

Il Millions of our people have sub
stituted sentimentality for senti-
ent. They see everything through
a mist, and the chief Of their hall
ilcinations is that work is curse.
This pallid and moonstruek no-
lion is the workers worst menace
today. 1t is bad for everybody, for
Il takes the Joy out of life, creates
physical, mental and moral flabbi Z
ness. substitutes self pity for self
respect, self help and independence
Of spirit; and sets everyone to cry
ing for the moon, wishing with tears
that they might be what they never
can be.
There is no such thing as degrad-
ing work in itself. The coal HEAVIER
and garbage gatherer are doing just
as clean and honorable a service IN
itself considered as the teacher. the
artist or the banker. The spirit in
which work is done is what counts.
Slaves are slaves because they have
slaves soul, not because they do
hard work.
If we admit the truth Of the idea
that manual work Is an accursed
slavery, we are driven logically to
the conclusion that 1t is the duty Of
every manual worker to quit work,
and that idleness Is the ideal OF Q
happy life. This noble ideal put
into practice would freeze and
starve the world to death in q few
weeks. There Is no possible exist
ence for those who won't struggle
for it. There ought not to be,

Nearing Vacation Tine.

Vacation time is near, and with
its approach every ambitious owner
OF four weeks and a gas engine be-
gins to dream about joyful sum-
mer in the mountains, in the parks
or in the forests OF the smelly pines.
About this season, in a million
homes. forefingers run easily over
road maps as in fancy the motorist
bounces over hills, across plains and
up and down mountains. until, at
last he comes to a dashing noun
tain stream where trout are thicker
than mosquitoes. or to the shady
shores Of a clear, cool lake where
Gods master hand has made vaca-
tionland supreme
Although there are many de-
signated places for camping parties,
the majority leave the trodden paths
and pitch their camps in sequestered
hooks far from the noise of Iulssing
cars, And so as vacation time
nears, motorists through America
start their forefngers on the map
pointing out places of interest.
They will call on their hardware
man to pick out camp outfit, they
tune up their cars and start forget
ting business cares.

A MOneyless World.

Moneyless is . painful complaint
from which every individual some
times suffers, occasionally chroni-
cally and often acutely; but mon
eylessness as worldwide woe would
be new experience.
An editor at New York was so i'm
pressed recently by the much multi-
piled use Of checks to pay small sums
that he let his Imagination loose ard
pictured moneyless world. Not q
world without wealth, but one with
out cash, and doing business by
credits and corresponding substitute
for gold and silver The pay envelope
would not be. nor the roll of the wad
of bills, nor the purse bulging with
coin. The employe would have his
account book at the bank. and pay
ment Of salary or wages would be
by the employer directing the bank
to credit John Smith or Mary Doe
with the weekly or monthly amount
due to each. The 0thellos among
brigands would find their occupa-
tions gone. or at least heavily handf-
capped.
A moneyless world is imaginable,
but not practicable. Direct exchange
OF labor for labor in the shape and
by means of goods for goods can
complement money even today, when
society is SO extremely developed,
but bartertEcan not become a tull
substitute for money again. Yet
there can be genuine money of more
than one kind. What makes II
money is the public acceptance OF
it as the measure of labor and It's
power to procure and exchange the
products or goods that result from
labor. From force of habit we think
of gold, silver and government-in
dorsed paper and also of currency
and credit as money. But beaver
skin ra cowrie shell, If 1t be made
standard of value, likewise Is
money and does the work Of money
Money is labor measured in terms
OF exchange and purchasing power

Wild BILL ARRIVES
IN THE METROPOLIS

A new heavyweight has arrived in
New York looking for action. He is
wild Bill Reed of Miami, Ariz.
Wild Bill distinguished himself on
New Years day by knocking out
Willie Meehan in the tenth round
of a battle at Phoenix. This was
the first and only time the conqueror
of Jack Dempsey was stopped. Reed
was miner before he took to the
ring. He is six feet two inches in
height and scales 194 pounds In
fighting condition. Wild Bill Is
ready to tackle any of the aspiring
heavies. He says that all he wants
is the chance to show his wares and
in the future he will not have to
beg for Matches Associated Press
Sports Report.
Wild Bill was member of Tex
Riley's sporting camp last year for
a time and on June 2, 1920, put
Sunshine Mcclure away at the Stan
dard hall in a fight that was so one
sided it was painful. All Sunshine
could show against him was game

Not So Bad After All.

From the exchanges that come to
the shop, we notice the main topic
at the universities and other meet
ings is the discussion Of the fashion
extremes adopted by the modern
girls. There is nothing wrong with
the girls of today, and should not
be Judged too harshly, because she
uses lip stick and a little rouge
and dab of powder. OF course the
dress of the girls of today skirts to
the knees almost, transparent waists,
fiimsy stockings, flimsy everything
is not the dress of mothers genera
ton. Nevertheless she is sweet
and good and kind at heart. She
has has an independence that did
not belong to her mothers day, but
such is the spirit of the times. We
can easily blame it on to the result
of the war, and that Is a possible
cause.

INGERSOLL BUYS
Big PARK SITE ON
UPPER FALL CREEK
Celebrated Watchma aker and
New York Millionaire
Purchase Fall Greek
Lands and Will Develop
Private Park.

Idaho's wonderful climate re-
suited in the sale recently of q
block of timber containing 5000
acres along Fall Creek, 40 miles
northeast of Mountain Home to Ro-
bert H. Ingersoll, Jr., the millionaire
watch manufacturer, for private
park, according to word brought to
Mountain Home by J. M. Anderson,
whose sawmill on Fall Creek was
also purchased by Mr.. Ingersoll. The
timber on the land purchased by Mr..
Ingersoll is regarded as the finest in
southern Idaho, states Mr.. Anderson,
being mature pine with no under
brush. Because Of the prohibitive
cost of transportation into that sec
ton the timber has not been cut
into lumber but is known to lumber
men throughout the southern part
of the state for its excellence.
Mr.. Ingersoll first became inter
ested in the purchase when he was
on an automobile trip from New
York to California for his health.
He is an invalid and stopped off
north of Mountain Home and went
up into the timber, his son-in-law
having told him of the character of
the country. His health improved
so and the climate impressed him in
such a way that he Immediately
began negotiations for the purchase
of the 5000 acres from Mr. Ander-
son and other individual owners.
The land will be fenced for private
park purposes, game will be put in
to it and bungalows and roads built.
The purchase of the sawmill was
made for the purpose OF cutting the
lumber which will go into the build
ing of the bungalows and other
buildings. A road has been sur
veyed to the park site which will
be constructed at cost of $40, 900.
The site is four miles from the main
Atlanta road.
1t is expected that with the COM
pletion of the park by Mr.. Ingersoll
it will become a summer residence
for many New York residents, who
will stay here in preference to going
to California. Fall Creek Is noted
for its fine fishing as are the other
streams in that vicinity. Fall
Creek empties into the south fork
of the Boise river from the north.

Life and Love in the Rockies.

The mystic words, life and love,
when entwined with the fascinating
cords that interiace the inspiring
chain of the Rockies, at once be-
come synonymous in meaning. Real
life means love, and love finds its
impelling forces in richer and more
endearing potency with the eternal
hills as the background.
The first law of God is Love. Love
for one another, love for nature,
love for all that is pure and good,
and who is there that can stand
amidst the pine-clad or rugged
mountains, and not feel the thrill
of admiration coursing in his veins.
No sermon was ever preached from
a gilded pulpit that spoke so pro-
foundly as do the silent sermons
that reach the heart from these
grand old mountains, no cathedral
spires touch closer to the very
throne of heaven than do these lofty
peaks, untrodden and uncontamin-
ated by the smoke and dust of hui
man avarice.
So, where else in all the world
could Life and Love find a more fit
ting place in which to take up Is
dwelling place than in the Rockies.
The cooling dove finds here place
OF safety and serenity, and ever
since humanity found this restful
paradise, lovers have sought secluded
grottos beside the gurgling streams,
where they lived and dreamed and
loved Long before civilization
opened the way to the Eden Of Love,
the Indian maiden and the stalwart
swain of the plains hied themselves
to the vastness of the Rockies, there
to plight their troth and drink in
the sweetness of the pine scented
breezes that famed their dusky
cheeks
Is it any wonder then, that today
we see, here and there, rustic cabins,
nestled away among the pines,
wherein live true lovers of the white
race? Some are in the bloom of
youth, just entering upon the voy-
age of Life. Mayhap Others, with
the silver of age glinting il the
threads of gold, are still walking
hand in hand along the mountain
sides, and as they climb to the sum
nit of some commanding peak and
look out toward the setting sun and
read there the decline of Their own
lives, they rejoice that they have
lived and loved amidst the environ
ments of Nature and they know tiat
when it is theirs to go down tao
Western slope into the Great Be-
yond, their sunset will be as glorious
as is the golden departure OF the sun
/ kissed day.
And this is Life. This is Love.

OWYHEE COUNTY
SUED ON TAX CASE

Officials Of Owyhee county have
been made defendants In a suit filed
in the federal court Tuesday after
noon in which A. u Altmannsperger
and Others similarly situated seek to
enjoin the officials from collection
of taxes on Carey Act lands occupied
by them, from a period Of 1911 TO
1920, Inclusive. The lands In qiles-
tion are under the King Hill project
and as yet the title rests with the
government. 1t Is the contention
or the settlers that the county has no
authority to collect taxes upon them
or make provisions for the sale OF
the lands because the taxes are not
paid
The court is asked to issue q re-
straining order enjoining the county
officials from issuing 40 the county
or to any person tax deed or deeds
to the lands; also that the taxes at
tempted to be levied against the
lands for the years specified be de-
clared illegal and void.
Joined with the plaintiff are some
so defendants and the defendants
named Ia the case are; n. y.
Hawes, Adam Blackstock, and ). T.
Noble, as commissioners; Asher A.
Getchell as clerk and ex-oiiicio audi
tor and recorder Fay o. Mitchell as
assessor and John w. Shore as treas
urer and tax collector.
The complaint sets out that the
lands have been taxed by tho de-
fendant county from 1911 to 1920
and in each case there is the sam 9
question of law involved rs to
whether the lands were legally tax
able and, that this question depends
in each case for its determination
upon the same facts. The action
is brought for the purpose Of en-
joining the collection Of Illegal
taxes.
Further the complaint sets cut
that the lands are still held IN titlf
by the government and II also cites
/ the contract entered into Dec, II
l1917, by the King Hill Irrigation
district, with the state and govern
ment In which the latter two bound
themselves to reconstruct the King
/ Hill canal and irrigation system at
(. a cost not to exceed s1,OO0,O00.
As the contracts have not yet
been completed and the settlers are
unable to secure title TO their lands
because of such condition, Il is con-
tended the lands are not taxable
and the court Is asked TO exempt
them from such taxation.
