"UN|T IRRIGATION
PLAN PRESENTED
County Commissioners
Would be Given Power
to Enter Into Contracts.

Chief among the LIS bills intro.
duced In the lower branch of the
Idaho legislature Wednesday was
house bill No. 143, which is known
az the county unit irrigation bill. >
In the words OF Chairman Carl j
Miller, Of the irrigation committee
which introduced the measure, ''it
is the most important piece of legls-
lation that will come before the six
teenth session"
The bill II passed will be far
reaching in Its effect. Not only
does 1t provide for the construction,
maintenance and operation of irri-
cation works I'm various parts OF the
state, but proposes to promote the
health and general welfare OF the
people of the state by drainage
Primarily. the object of the meas
ure Ia to develop Idaho through tr-
rigation. The boards of county com
mlssi oners In the several counties
are given broad powers tor the pur
pose of carrying out with the United
States for the construction of irri-
cation and drainage works.
The question OF successfully f.
nancing projects is taken up in full
In the bill and means are provided
whereby funds may be raised and
obtained The issuing and selling
OF bonds would be controlled by the
county in which any proposed pro
tect is located and the county com
missioners cannot issue any bonds
without first submitting the question
to the vote Of the electors of the
county.
Framers of the measure have been
at work on the bill for more than a
week, holding committee meetings
daily and holding hearings from var
tous sources of information on the
subject. This bill as introduced Is
indorsed by the Idaho Reclamation
association and takes the place OF
tentative plan whereby the state, in
stead of the county, would afford Sc
curity TO the bonds OF irrigation
districts. This plan was dropped
when Il was learned that northern
Idaho representatives would object
to the whole state guaranteeing
bonds, which would benefit only one
section OF the state.

HINkEY GAMES
CLOSED BY ORDER
COUNTY ATTORNEY
Chief Winter Indoor Sport
of City Put Out of Busi
ness by Order of County
Official

The blue laws struck Mountain
Home with dramatic thud last Sat.
urday evening, when Prosecuting
Attorney Verne Lee Taylor issued
written orders for the sheriff to
serve on the proprietors of all the
so-called "hinkey" games in the
county that they were violating the
statutes and that the games must
close. A similar order also was
served on all houses of prostitution
in the county and was served by the
sheriff both here and at Glenns
Ferry and King Hill.
The hinkey game as played In
Mountain Home Is variation OF the
we'll known stud poker game of the
old days when wide open gambling
was permitted, 1t is played by any
number OF players and the stake To-
cally Ia invariably a dollar. Each
player starts with a stack of twenty
chips and plays as in a regular table
stake poker game until one man
goes broke when he pays the house
a dollar and the house pays the
holder of the winning hand a dol
lar in "hinkeys." the other players
neither win nor lose and the game
starts over again with twenty chips
for each player The hinkeys can
be traded for m erchandise at their
face value or can be cashed in at
76 cents on the dollar. The TWEEN
ty-f1ve cents As the houses pay for
the use of tables and cards, and If
the game is sufficiently spirited
runs into reasonably good profits.
Years ago before Mountain Home
became part of the truly arid region
the same game was played but 1t
was real poker, and at that time the
sheriff used to order the games
closed from time to time when some
sucker had been shook down for his
roll, but always after a short time
the games were quietly reopened
and went on as before.

COUNTRY Will
HAVE NETWORK
Of WIRELESS
Government Plans the Use
of Amateur Stations for
Distributing w Q a t h Q r
Bulletins and Market Re
ports.

The innumerable people who
either for diversion or as scientific
study have taken up wireless oper-
ating in this country, are about tc
find themselves in an important
place in the daily operation Of the
governmental and business ma
chinery of the nation. Expert
ments are being made which, IL
every wireless operator IN the coun-
try cog in vast communications
network. Perhaps the most fasci-
mating phase of this plan Is that
just developed by aviation experts
Through this plan every operator
will be depended ON by cross country
aviators for constant reports as to
weather in each locality, direction
of wind, storm indications and
to make some arrangement where
by aviators may keep in touch by
wireless with every community on
either side of their line of flight, and
the amateur wireless man will be
largely depended on for this, and
may be instrumental on many oe-
casions In saving life,- or at least
facilitating travel by air and MAX
ing it safer.
Another detail of the general plan
originated with the department OF
agriculture, and to some extent is
already in operation in towns with
in a radius OF 200 miles of Washing
ton, D. c. Under this plan the bu-
reau of markets here sends out daily
at the close of markets all latest
quotations on farm and other fresh
produce.
These quotations are caught by
wireless operators within the zone
stated, and are expected to be re-
layed by telephone and courier to all
farmers within reach, thus giving
the man ON the farm and the small
business man in rural communities
an accurate report on the days mar
ket faster than he has ever had II
before. This latter arrangement Is
expected to develop wireless opera
tion to large extent among farm
ers.
In addition to these arrangements
there Is already a more or less or
ganized system of relaying weather
and other routine reports in vari-
Gus communities, and considerable
expansion is looked or In this dfrec-
tion when present plans are COM
pleted. Operators on the coast have
also proved of considerable value
in picking up distress calls from
vessels at sea, and getting word to
the nearest life-saving stations.

The Changing of the Times.

Have moral standards changed
The kind of life today that the boys
and girls enjoy, their general de-
pertinent, the way the girls dress
and act are vastly different from
what they were fifteen years ago.
Then boys and girls held each other
In mutual respect. Girls wore more
clothes and less paint Vamps were
not yet invented. Jazz was still
unborn, girls went to parties un-
rouged and were brought home un-
kissed. Boys took girls out motor
ing and returned them without a
hairpin missing. Yet there was no
lack of fun and enjoyment. But
compare the situation with today.
The boys and girls of today seem
to be jazz mad The pursuit of
pleasure has becom a wild race
with all restrictions removed. Vamp-
ing is the most popular indoor and
outdoor sport. Girls In their teens
make up like movie queens and
wear clothes as short at both. ex-
tremities as the law will allow
Corsets are either not donned or are
parked in the dressing rooms of the
dance hall. Modesty, as our grand
mothers knew It, is sadly out of
tune with the present mode of liv-
ing.
