MESPOT' OIL NOT DEVELOPED
Necessity for Importing Foreign Labor
is Bar to Investment of
Capital.

MesOpotanIia is a rich field for oil,
but the only wells in operation are a
few sunk before the war by the Arabs.
Not that the British need the MGSO-
potamian wells at present; they have
more than they can use. But they are
not even prospecting for 1t, nor are
they allowing two representatives of
famous oil company of our own to
prospect, though the American Oh
comes in by Abbadan and is sold
at something less than the Persian oil.
One reason among many why big
capitalists are not received here with
open arms when they come forward
with some big scheme for the country
is that they generally begin by say
ing: 1--WE must import labor"
Now the labor difficulty is serious
here. Arabs are not very keen on get
ting much work out of themselves.
The Kurd coolies seem to be the only
ones that take to work and keep at It,.
One sees them carrying the most I'M
believable burdens. Recently / saw
a Kurd carrying a piano on his back,
followed by an assistant who was
steadying 1t, but not helping other
wise.
But the Arabs are willing to let the
Kurds do 1t. During the war labor
was so scarce that to keep going with
their railroads and their irrigation
schemes the British had to import In

OLD STUFF
BY Berton BraIey.

{ The Fashion is to sneer at them, to
mock and mouth anad jeer at then
I Those simple honest maxims that
! the copybooks contained;
For modernists most cynical look
! down as from a pinnacle
And tell us that the potency of an
cient saws have waned.
They dam them in totally for all
their "smug morality
"Be good and you'll be happy" is,
tyeh tell us, false and trite,
But spite of skeptics critical and
hyper-analytical
have a mild suspicion that the
copy book was right.
Truth, crushed to earth, will rise
again" is proven to our eyes again
If we but watch humanity about us
day by day,
And underneath Old Sol see that
Honesty's policy
Which, by and large and in the main
is pretty sure to pay;
Yes, call them dull beatitudes and
ancient mouldy platitudes"
Yet somehow those who follow them
keep rather near the light,
For simple tests and practical bear
out their truth didactical
And as a working plan of life the
copy books were right.
They lack in vim and snappiness but
as a guide to happiness
Those plain and prosy proverbs of
our fathers are the stuff;
1.-THE wage of sin is death" they say,
and, sure as we draw breath they
say
A thing that's trite as gospel-for
it's proven times enough.
The high brows may get gay with
them, but they can't do away with
them
Ihose dry and dusty slogans will not
vanish from our sight
They're fusty, musty, serious; they
bore us and they weary us,
But, take 'em all in all nv son. fine
copybooks were right |

Had the Wrong Car.

My husband deals in old and new
cars, and I seldom drive the same cal
twice.
The other day 1 drove an old car
downtown, and after doing some shop
ping started for home. I had not
gone many blocks when l discovered
l was not driving the same car I had
when I left home, and Immediately
turned back. Where I had taken the
car saw an officer talking to very
much excited woman.
I offered all sorts of explanations,
but 1t was most embarrassing, for the
woman whose car had taken was my
next door neighbor, with whom I had
not been on speaking terms for six
months.-ChicagO Tribune.

ION THE ROAD TO MANDALAY"
Babel of Tongues at Burmese City to
Witness Dedication of New
Pagoda.

! curious festival was held not long
ago In Mandalay, the chief town of
Burma. A new pagoda dedicated to
the Buddhist religion was to be COM
pleted by the placing of a huge crown
or thi upon its summit, more than 300
feet above the ground.
To witness the cermony came Bud
dhists from Indo-China, from the
Himalayas, from Laos and Chan and
Siam. Warriors from Katschin, sor-
cerers from Mot and people from 9th
er places made medley of languages
like that of Babel.
On street corner would be seen a
barber pulling a customers teeth.
On another corner a Mohammedan
bird dealer sold Gagged paroquets to
Buddhists, who plously set them free.
At very modern booths one could buy
ice cream, soda or tea. Mandalay
was q gorgeous spectacle and the new
pagoda was the center Of 1t.
Every pagoda has at its summit
thi, or cap, the placing of which Is
OTTER a herculean task. The one
to be raised weighed several hundred
pounds and consisted of gilded ball
and crown and a great spindle above it..
To get 1t to the top an inclined
plane of bamboo scaffolding like huge
toboggan slide had been built and
was decorated with silk flags and
umbrellas. Up the inclined plane the
heavy cap was slowly pulled. Six
days were required for the ascent and
seventh to fasten 1t In place.

ATHLETIC CLUB
EXHIBITIONS AT Y
THE OPENER OF THE 'Y"
ATHLETIC CLUB EXHIBITIONS

TUESDAY EVENING, January the
25th is the date now set for the be-
ginning of the boxing and wrestling
game here in Payette under the aus
pieces of the "Y" Athletic department
which has recently been re-organiz-
ed for this purpose.
The interest in this exhibition is
already up to a high pitch because of
the interest in the game elsewhere
since the close of the World War,
and also, since there seems to have
always been great amount of not
only interest but talent here in this
Community in these two big athlet-
ic events. The seating capacity OF
the "Y'' Gym. and balcony will be
greatly enlarged by using bleachers
but even at that the seats will be
quickly taken in advance for the
most part. Ringside seats will be re-
served at twenty-five cents above the
price of the general admission which
is to be one dollar per ticket. A
good packed house should result
from the interest in the game and
the talent offered, but, the success
of the game here depends a great
deal on the size of this first house
since the Committee must have a
practical showing of interest in the
game as far as the future is concern
ed and get the money ahead to war
rant the securing of the best talent
in the country which cannot be had
for hot air or fine speeches.
The boxers who will start the
game here on Tuesday evening are:
Arthur Bean of Payette versus Char
lie Mitchell of Fruitland; Ralph
Walker of Payette football fame,
versus Eddie Nelson also of Payette;
A. Manaman of Payette versus Ralph
Mitchell of Fruitland; and as a
stem winder main event, for six
rounds or a Knockout, E. L. Welty
of Denver versus Del. Adams of
Weiser. Welty'S weight is around
145 while Del Adams will weigh in
at close to 100 pounds. Efforts are
being made to get Fred and Ray
for wrestling match
and to come out into the open and
help in putting Payette on the top
Tip Wiseman, DR.. Wells |
and AIDE Gustavo are also likely |
wrestlers for this date.
The sale of tickets will start at
once at the ''Y'' box office. Tickets |

HEROES CT MIDDLE AGES
Stories Of Their Great Size and Enor-
nous Strength Appear to 10
Exaggerated.

Psychologists, after having measured
hundreds of skeletons, testify that the
men of our own time average from one
to two centimeters taller than the men
of the middle ages according to wri-
ter In the New York Evening Post. We
possess their armor, and we do not
only appear to have grown taller as a
was made, but our shoulders could
never fit inside the steel corselets Of
our medieval forefathers.
In France, the superintendent of the
museums under the second empire,
wishing to put on the armor of Francis
|, the largest suit of all In the museum
Of artillery, was unable to do so. 1t
was too small for him, although he was
In no sense a giant.
Some years ago In Switzerland, on
the occasion of a gymnastiC tourna-
ment, the young men wishing to close
the festivities by n procession with
historic costumes, borrowed the arms
and armor of the arsenal. But the
young men were unable to get into 1t.
OF the supposedly enormous strength
of those historic warriors we have no
proof beyond the weight Of the equip
ment. The harness Of the knights was
very much lighter than has commonly
been supposed. According to one of
the catalogues of the museum of ar
tillery, the weight of the combined ar
NOR did not, as rule, exceed fifty
pounds, and inasmuch as those who
wore it were horsemen 1t was the horse
that lad to bear the greater part of
the burden.

GOAL REACHED AFTER ca Ma RS
LoITER ON WAY
STARTED WHEN A BOY

With his arrival in this city yes
terday, George F. Thayer of Payette
Idaho, finally reached the goal which
he started cut to attain sixty-fouI
years ago. said goal being the State
of California. Thayer is rs years
of age and when he was IL years of
age he determined to tramp it across
the continent from his native State
of New York to the land of gold, of
which he had heard such fabulous
tales.
Filled with the buoyancy of youth
he was in no particular hurry on his
trip and was inclined to take ad-
vantage of the tide of events as it
circled around his pathway. Above
all he was undaunted by whatever
perils or adventures came his way
and while at times his onward prog
ress was hindered his perseverance
never tagged.
At one time, he says, the State of
Michigan blocked him and held him
for a while.
Civil War Held Him.
Then there was the Civil war
which detained him while he helped
to put down secession; there were
also border troubles in Kansas to
occupy his attention and later there
were Indian wars and troubles in the
Dakota section which appealed to
him. Then he put the town of Pay
cite, Idaho, on its feet after which,
realizing on his 18th birthday that
time was passing, he again took up
his tramp and kept going until he
reached Maraket street. Nor was he
a tired-looking pilgrim after that Ga
year-tramp which certainly has Rip
Van Wrinkles 2O-year-sleep backed
off the earth.

colt in pasture, he exclaimed:

like the Rebellion and border strug-
giles but l have never felt so good as
now after accomplishing what I set
out to do as boy.

Il has been brought to our atten-
ton that in this community there
are several families who are al
most destitute and liable soon to be-
come county charge. They are not
iadolent or indisposed to work but
are unable to find anything to do,
while at the same time there are
aliens who have no family to sup
port, being employed at good wages,
and who's earnings-except scant
amounts being sent back to the
foreign land. Is this good American
ism when good, honest American
citizens with families to support,

who have no interest here except
what they can make.
