ARR WE OVERLOOKING
A BETi

Power Irrigation District about TO
establish the possibility or impossible
ity Of irrigating some 24,000 acres Of
land contiguous to American Falls.
The splendid cooperation of the state
and Federal Department of indian
Affairs has been shown In a joint con
tribution TO the fund for the prelimi-
nary survey.
Would II not be wise to interest the
u. 8. Reclamation Service in the pro-
ject, at least as far as II would be In
terested?
The government is about to place
on the market, TOWNSHIP property the
valuation OF which would be greatly
in creased by the successful irrlga-
ton OF the proposed district. Per-
haps the government would be willing
through the Reclamation Service, to
take a greater interest in the affairs
of the district with the result that
they would reach a more immedite
solution. Why not present the pro
| positioH TO the Reclamation Service?

Tracing orIpIn Of billiards.

Billiards is believed by some to
nave been brought from the east by
the Crusaders, while others claim an
English origin for 1t and find 1t allied
to the game of bowls. Still others as
sert that the French developed it from
IN ancient German game. 1t seems
pretty certain that the first person to
give form and rule to the game was
an artist named Henrique Devigne,
who lived in the reign of Charles TX.
One writer sees in billiards the an
cient game Of paillemaille played on
a table instead of on the ground. and
this is a reasonable assumption.

II is natural, that in gaining the
first lessons In cooperation, a Few mis-
takes should be made. When some CO.
operator as an individual goes of on
a tangent we naturally conclued that
his intentions are good but his ideas
are wrong. American Falls, fortu"
nately, is blessed with o~ooperators
who believe that cooperation works
two ways via IL you want someone
10 cooperate with you, II Is necessary
for you TO cooperate with someone.
For instance, suppose, that fifty
farmers cooperate In the support OF a
creamery. Forty of them cooperate
with the creamery and perhaps have 10
endure a few hardships until the In
situation gets on it's feet financially.
The other ten, continue to sell their
cream TO outsiders with the idea that
they will sell TO their own creamery
as soon as Il pays a little more for
the cream than anyone else. This ls
one-way cooperation.
Or suppose that the creamery &C.

fessional men, and loyal citizens, In

EARLY Savings Banka.

The first savings bank in America
was opened In Boston 104 years ago,
December 10, 1915. In the same year
an institution called the Philadelphia
Savings Fund society was established.
The third institution of this kind in
America was founded in New York
in 1919. The first regular savings
bank was established In Hamburg In
177s and the second at Berne, Switzer-
land, in 1887. The oldest savings
bank In the world is in Zurich, Switzer-
land, and is now In it's one hundred
and seventeenth year. The first regu-
lar savings bank in Great Britain was
opeled In Edinburgh LOT years ago.

Howard Elliot, chairman OF the
Board that governs the Northern Pa
eific Railway said a few days ago In
Spokane, that the Union Pacific System
was the only system operating west
ward that made any money In 1920. The
other roads operated at a loss. Judg-
ing from his statements the railroads
are about on a par with the farmers
of the west, except that the farmers

GOVERNOR DAVIS STRIKES
RESPONSIVE CHORD.

Probably no governor in the west Is
striking 80 close TO his home people
as Governor Davis OF Idaho, who in
many of his public addresses Is
preaching reclamation of home life.
The goveror's intimacy with condi~
lions in our state penal institutions
no doubt brings the lesson home to
him In n forceful n While
others are taking psychology, ethics,
business administration, and the best

Trivial Accident Brings Disaster.

The gypsy moth has caused a great
deal Of trouble In this country, and
much money and energy have been
spent in the effort to exterminate It
The trouble started when a French
naturalist named Trouvelot, residing
in the town of Maiden, Mass, left a
paper box containing gypsy moth eggs
on a window ledge and 1t blew of.
That was in the early eighties, and
he was making experiments with va
rious kinds of caterpillars as silk
splnners.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
BEGINNING EARLY.

The Power County Fair Association
has announced the biggest and best
roundup in the history Of Power Coun-
ty. How wen IT will live up to its an
nouncement, is Of course a matter
that can not be determined at this
time.
But the fact that the directors are
not going 10 wait until a few weeks
before the Fair TO begin plans, Is evil
dence to date of their intentions to
make good their guarantee.
