PLUS MEN, WOMEN
NEED OF WORLD
Professor Lewis of Idaho Technical
Institute Tells Senior Glass the De-
mands of the Age-Must Do More
Than Expected

Men and women, if they are to be
successful must do more than they are
told, must educate themselves to
meet rapidly changing issues, and must
let their thoughts dwell on the good
and great things of life continually,
according to Prof. Lewis of the Idaho
Tech" who delivered the Baccalaueate
sermon at the Auditorium Theatre
last Sunday morning.
A man may do only what he is told,
but if he does nothing but what he is
told he will most certainly be failure,
said the speaker. He warned the grad
uating class that its members must be
ready and willing to do much more
than was asked of them If they were
to be real successes. in life They
must be men and women plus, to mea-
sure up to the standard needs of the
world.
He stated that educated men and
women were needed more than ever
before and that the rapid progress of
science, industry and commerce de-
manded keener intellects than ever
before.
The theatre was well filled with an
attentive audience of students and
friends of the graduates. The churches
of the city participated in the service.

MURTAUGH DISTRICT VOTES
FAVORABLY ON BOND ISSUE
An Indirect Endorsement of Big Irri-
cation Bonding District.

Twin Falls, Ida, May 16.-By unan-
imous vote yesterday those interested
in the development of the Murtaugh
Irrigation district including the fa-
nous Ransen Butte voted $3.700,000 in
bonds to provide for the securing and
delivering of water to the $4,000 acres
within the project.
The Hansen Butte project is not
within the proposed big irrigation dis
trict, but depends for its full success
on the construction of the great Amer
ican Falls dam the erection of which
would be assured by the creation of
the big district The Murtaugh irriga-
tion district has assurances that if the
big dam should go it can buy water.
Hence, indirectly, but none the less
truly, vote for the big irrigation dis
,trict is vote~for Hansen Butte deve1-
opment. This development would
bring hundreds of families and much
capital to Twin Falls county to help
reduce taxes and increase all values.

BURTON FRENCH
URGESTEAM WORK
Private Companies Have Been shown
Greatest Consideration and Should
Now Manifest Willingness to Coop
crate for Mutual Benefit.

Pocatello, Idaho, May 1.-THE fol-
lowing letter from Congressman Bur
ton L. French emphatically confirms
the position taken by the Idaho Recla-
nation Association that the future re
clamation development of south Idaho
hinges on the immediate, intelligent
and concrete support of the American
Falls reservoir project by our own ci-
tizens.
House of Representatives
Washington, d. c., April IL,
"Mr. Guy Flenner, Managing Director,
Idaho Reclamation Association.
Pocatello, Idaho.
MY dear Mr.. Flenner:
81 am in receipt of your recent let
ter bearing upon the American Falls
irrigation project and want to thank
you for keeping me advised as to the
progress. you are making.
Companies Should Organize.
''In my judgment it is very impor-
tant that the private interests includ-
ed within the American Falls project
organize and be able to show the
government that they are ready to fl
nance their part of the undertaking.
| Il think you understand that the
Minidoka extension includes only
about 10000 acres of new land. This
being the case, it is the highest inn
portance that those people who own
private lands who desire to have the
project carried through should or
ganize themselves into such a district
as will make it possible to sell the
bonds and raise money to meet the
expenses necessary in reclaiming the
lands of private individuals.
1Frh
hends public lands to limited ex-
tent, private lands to a much larger
extent.
Federal Aid Liberal.
I'VE have been able to make what
believe must be regarded as salts
! factory progress in obtaining Federal
authorization for the expenditure of
money to take care of the public lands
This, however, is conditional upon the
private owners of land bearing their
proper share. The amount of money
available for reclamation is limited
in comparison to the demand for the
expenditure of such money. Idaho
has been fortunate in obtaining gem
erous grants for irrigation work.
! "The American Falls project, how
ever, is one that contains so large an
area of private lands that / am sure
you will pardon me for stressing the
idea of team work upon the part of the
private owners of land which can be
obtained only through organization.
"It would be most unfortunate if
for any letting down on the part of
our Idaho people we should lose the
opportunity which / believe is inn
mediately before us to have the Gov
ernment undertake the great work of
reclamation that means so much 10
the southern part of the State.
Wishing you every success, am,
Yours very truly,
BURTON L. FRENCH"
