Hurt
ASSAILANT INJURED
Left Arm is Amputated
After Being Badly
Shattered

Deputy Sheriff c. H. Torrance
of American Falls, who was
shot seven times with buckshot
by w. H. Ball, Pauline farmer
near the latter's cabin last evening
is said to have an even chance for
recovery. He was operated on to-
day. One ball pierced his stomach
and another his lung.
Ball, who forced j. E. Polling, an
other Pauline farmer, to drive him
into Pocatello following the siege
at Balls cabin, is in a weakened con-
dition from loss of blood, it was re-
ported. He was shot in the arm,
the main artery being severed. He
appeared at the hospital at 3 O'Clock
this morning and his arm was am
putated.
Bannock county police officials in
terviewed Ball and declared they did
not believe him insane. He refused
at first to talk about the shooting,
in which he laid four possemen low
with his deadly fire, but later said
that he had been in a little shooting
scrape.
The less seriously wounded posse
men, John Kajawalis, wounded in
wrist; Herbert Swim, leg broken and
e. G. Brandt, shot in the arm, are re-
ported to be in serious condition.
It Is the opinion of local author
tiles that Ball must have had a GRIM
inal record previous to his taking up
lonely farm in the upper valley and
because of his past had decided to re-
main aloof from his fellow men.
Altho he had lived on his ranch
for ten years, he was practically un-
known. His past will be Investigated
gas soon as he is we'll enough to be
removed from Pocatello to American
Falls where attempted murder
charges will be placed against him.
Ball first attracted attention early
Thursday morning when he started
quarrel without provocation with
q man in q Pauline store. He left
and was driving home when he saw
Brandt approaching.
Ball got out Of his rig and ap-
preached q lonely spot by the road
and fred at Brandt as he passed. The
first shot went wild. The second

MILITARY EQUIPMENT HERE

All of the equipment has arrived

thirty-eight more men in the troop
and twenty reserve men, who will be
included in the annual camp drills,
but not in the regular work.
1t is expected that the annual en-
campment will be ct Boise in June
this year. Such encampments are
usually held down on the coast and
probably will be next year.

SWEET POTATO SITUATION
Too Much Loose Thinking-Curiug
Process a Success-Developme
Board Will Advise.

There are people in, South Carolina
(as well as in other Southern States
who maintain, whether they believe or
not, the Sweet potato cannot be kept
oven long periods by being cured. And
again. There is no money in grow
ing potatoes for the market. Ask
them for reacons for their statements
and they reply-"I lost my whole crop
by rot" "Tke crop cannot be sold;"
'Too many potatoes being grown"
"No monev in the crop"
Let us look at these statements for
a moment and see if there is any
any of the troubles were preventaple.
81 lost my whole house by rot"
This is very serious matter, but,
is it charyeable to the curiny process? I?
Think hard now. a." Wasn't it because
you failed to properly disinfect your
house before filling it? Were you
not careless about taking in diseased
potatoes? The loss in either case
would be your fault and not the fault
of the curing process. Sc
'The crop cannot be sold. "Why,
may we ask? Very likely because
it was not a prime pack; you had
a few good potatoes mixed with
Strings" "jumbos" and .'cuts" and
"rots." Could you expect to sell
this crop in market handling prime
graded stock? Hardly. -:
TOO many Sweet potatoes being.
grown" How do you know? Have
you at hand the figures Gliat will per-
NIT you to make such a statement? 2
We will wager you haven't.
Our country has over ore hundred
million people who cat three meals
a day. provided they can get them.
Thousand Of little school children,
in the great cities go TO school every
morning hungry. (Can there be too
many potatoes when this can hap
pen?)
Almost everyone likes the sweet
potato when it is properly cooked;
we, don't mean boiled: we mean baked
sweets, fried sweets, pudding (pone)
pie.
Only about five per cent of the
high quality potatoes we raise in the
South get into the Northern market,
and as for the Southern market it is
prime eating stock. Just what will
happen when the millions of people
in the North get the chance to eat Il
real quality Sweet potato, properly
cooked?
Do you kno wthe average annual
consumption of sweet potatoes per
family in the Northern and Western
States is only 22 pounds per family,
while these same families consume
every year 4G2 pounds of Irish pota-
toes or over six bushels?
There is no money in the CROP"
How do you know there isn't? You
don't know. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture, the State
Experiment Station, are bit hazy
when it comes to saying anything
definite on the subject of the cost
of producing sweet potatoes and arc
very likely to hedge when the sub
Ject is mentioned. If you don't
know and they don't know. what it
costs, how can you say there is no
money in Sweet potatoes? You can't.

"I'll never forget the first time I

rip-snorting toothache for several days.
The agony was so great that it would
take the pen of Dante to do justice to
it. Yet I couldn't muster up enough
courage to go to the dentists. I had
heard so many stories Of the atrocious
suffering one undergoes at his hands
that my warlike spirit faltered. But
finally the man who occupied the room
next to mine came to my apartment
armed with a large iron poker and
said that I had kept him awake for
three nights, and the limit had been
reached If l didn't chase myself out

which have come to wonder, study and

lists from every quarter.
Here the mysterious workings of
