ADJOURNMENT OF
PEACE CONFERENCE
Agreements Reached
After Twelve
Weeks

The Washington peace conference
opened on Saturday, the twelfth o1
November, and listened to the
Hughes plan. 1t adjourned on Sat
urday, the fourth of February, just
twelve weeks later, having come te
agreements along the lines of the
Hughes plan.
The net result of the conference
Is the scrapping Of some of the fight
ing ships of the world and five lead
ing nations taking a naval holiday,
building no more fighting vessels for
ten years.
1t has resulted in agreements to
give back to China large slices of
territory that have been taken away
from her, the muchdiscussed Shan
tung among them.
1t has resulted in an agreement
among the nations, not to build any
more Notifications in the Pacific
and to settle differences by arbitra-
tion as they arise.
1t has resulted in a worldwide
study OF the reasons for world peace
and the uselessness of wars. It has
resulted in strong conviction amonS
the peoples of the world that wars
are not necessary, that they accomp-
lish nothing but ruin and misery,
and that there are ways to avoid
them.
1t has resulted in the belief and
conviction that the way to stop wars
is to stop getting ready for them
and to stop depending on fighting
machines to obtain rights and to de-
fend rights. The only nations that
are now to be feared are those that
are so saturated with the old war
ideas that they cannot be impressed
with anything else, aud the states41
men of the world are Obliged to finds
ways to preserve the peace of the
world while getting such peoples
converted to doing the things they
wish most to do-be. safe and at1
peace and have the luxuries that are
available during continued peace.
The time and place and the man
ner of scrapping the fighting ships
have not yet been announced -

Lifelong Cowboy
Improving From
Paralytic Stroke

High Cherry is improving from
the paralytic stroke of a week ago
and has gone o Ashton with his
daughter, Mrs. Jack Gibbs.
Mr.. Cherry was lifelong cow
boy and is one of four still living
here who formed a part of the horde
of cowboys that gathered from all
parts of the country with the great
herds that covered the ranges of
southern Idaho in that period be-
fore agriculture began. The other
three are Jake Beard, Johnny Hutch
inson and William Mcdaniel, COM
monty known as Bilious" this
nickname attaching to him because
there were in the same camp five
other Williams, and they were know
as Bill, Will, William, Billy, Billiam
and Bilious. That was in the year
1870, and these four who are still
with us have been stockmen all their
lives. Mr.. Beard is in the stock
business at Sterling and runs his
cattle on the desert and the reserva-
tion; Mr.. Hutchinson and Mr.. Nc
Daniel are engaged in the stock busi-
ness in the Springfield country.

Prepare for the
Floods Before the
Water Arrives

When the present crop of snow
goes off, if it goes suddenly, people
would do we'll to prepare for floods
Study the drainage in your locality
and note whether the ground is
thawed or frozen under the snow
and try to estimate what the water
will do for you If it gathers rapidly
about the place.
If family gives some attention to
these things great deal can be done
in advance to protect by cutting bar
riers and getting things moved out
of low places, setting goods and pro-
duce on something higher, getting
fuel where it will be handy during
the flood, putting animals where
they will be safe and comfortable.
1t Is an interesting game to prepare
for flood before it arrives, and a
very satisfying thing when the water
comes.

Fight Promoter and
Governor Accused
of Misconduct

Tex Rickard, fight promoter OF
New York, has been accused in court
by fourteen-year-old girl of i'm
proper conduct with her last sum-
mer. According to the girl, she has
just recently come to the conclusion
that she had been wronged, and
complaint has been made against
Rickard, who said he did not know
the girl and had never heard of her,
but after seeing her, he remembered
that such a girl had visited his
grounds last summer in company
with others and he had given them
all tickets to a show or something of
the kind. He denied ever having
known her other than that.
Lee N. Russell, governor of the
state of Mississippi, has just been
hailed into court to answer to a
charge made by a yong woman, who
claims that he wronged her in 1918
and she wants 100000 from him.
He is married and she claims that
she was once his stenographer, knew
he was married at the time and has
been i'll and lost her health.
Governor denies emphatically any
responsibility, and says it is only a
blackmail scheme seeking to break
him or ruin him or both.

GROW BIGGER CROPS
ON FEWER ACRES
Boise Valley Farmer
Expresses Opinion
On Farming

A pioneer citizen of the Boise val
ley country spoke recently at farm
community meeting, on the desire
of farmers generally to try and op
crate more land than they are able
to make produce properly, and as
the man on the farm could make il
produce.
1T is better to grow bigger crops
on fewer acres, than to try and bor-
row from the federal reserve or any
other bank in order to get living
from our lands" he stated.
II have tried it both ways; l have
farmed extensively and made little
or no money, the investment was too
heavy; the operation cost too high
and the returns per acre too low, so
tried farming intensively instead
of extensively, reduced my invest
ment, my overhead and operating
costs; produced more per acre, and
made more money with less effort.
Asked his opinion on farm organi-
zation, he stated that he believed the
farmer, like nearly all other men in
business, is over-organized, and ex-
poets organization to do for him
what he ought to be able to do for
himself. He expressed the opinion
that the average man on the farm
must work with his head more and
his hands less.
He says that he believes in farm
ing, he is seventy-five years old, has
farmed in Idaho for about forty
years, has made fair success, owns
his home, out Of debt, produces prac-
tically all Of his and the family needs
in the way of food on the farm, and
feels that he is far better off than
the man, farmer or otherwise, so
anxious to make big money that
he fails to make any at all and is
in constant doubt whether he is
going to pull thru or not.
Intensive, instead of extensive"
is his farm operation motto; inten-
sive includes a few cows, many hens
and several hogs" he says.

Borrower Asked
To Return the
Green Plush Robe

The sport who borrowed my plush
robe from where I left 1t on my
radiator near the Rialto theatre on
Saturday night about the fourteenth
of January, is requested to return
1t to the Boyle hardware store or
leave it at The Republican office.
My radiator didn't freeze that
night so I didn't make any holler
about it wanted to give the other
fellow a chance to sit warm for
while, but now hat the weather
has moderated somewhat and l have
been sitting rather chilly myself dur
ing the cold wave, am trusting that
the sport aforesaid will show his
sportsmanship by leaving the robe
with or without thanks where l can
get my NIT on it again.
My robe was plush robe, green
on one side and black on the other
If some third parties see it you
might kid the fellow about it and
ask him, Where did you get that
robe" and" things like that to see
II he turns red in the face.
BY the way-there is story of
an old gentleman living in New Eng
land whose son took trip all the
way to New York the day he became
of age, and in the evenging, the old
gentleman is said to have made the
following appeal at he close of his
usual prayer: my only son, men,
Der Of this household, oh Lord, has
this day ventured into the great city
of New York, and pray Thee to
watch over and keep him as in the
palm of Thy hand. And in case,
oh Lord, you don't know him, he
wears pair of checked trousers and
a light gray coat"
don't think it is necessary to
describe anything but the. robe in
this case. Come again.

The Rabbit Drive
at Wicks Causes
~. Much Excitement

Last Sunday the rabbit drive a.
Wicks attracted lot Of people or
horseback and as the snow was deeI
and soft and much drifted, there
was some rare sport when horses
gave chase to rabbits. A jack rab-
bit can run like streak on the bare
spots, but all the rabbits ran blindly
into drifts and there the horses
readily overlook them and usually
tramped them out of sight or else
the horse got in over his depth, and
horse, rider and rabbit wallowed
around together to see who should
come out first. The rabbit jumping
frantically in the soft snow could
go only few inches at time and
soon wore himself out If he did not
get solid footing.
1t is said that some Of the rabbits
got buried so deep they will not
come to light till spring, and some
Of the riders had great time un-
scrambling themselves when the
horse would forget himself in his
excitement and try to make a cor
duroy road of the rider.
II there are any new phases to
the rabbit drives, they will probably
be discovered when the snow crusts
a little and puts the rabbits on high
gear when men and horses have to
go on low.
There will be another drive out
in the Wicks country next Sunday,
to start from the Bruggenkamp place
which is half mile north and about
a mile or SO east of the Wicks school
house. You will need good clubs
and no guns or dogs for this great
outdoor winter sport. Every body
invited. Be at the feed yard or
Henry's cigar store at 1890 and
free transportation will be provided.

LECTURER GREETED
BY PACKED HOUSE
DR.. Greggerson Gives a
Very Interesting
Lecture

DR.. Gregerson, the chiropractor
addressed a packed house Thursday
evening at the Isis theatre and held
their attention for an hour and a
half, and then put on the pictures
of the Palmer Chiropractic school at
Davenport, Iowa.
1t is big institution that has been
developed from a mere office and
small sanitarium in 1895 to a park
of large buildings where at the last
institute held for teaching the stud
ents and for post graduate work Of
practitioners, there were 5000 en-
rolled for the summer. The first
teaching was done in the year 1895,
and there are now $4,000 persons
practicing chiropractic. The city Of
Davenport has changed from the at
titude of ridiculing it to decorating
the city in honor of their coming.
Moving pictures were shown of
the school at work, of the parade of
the institute visitors, of the Palmer
cafe built to accommodate 5000 per-
sons at time, where 1t was said
the best meals in the city were
served at an average cost of about
IS cents; special trains were shown
from east and west carrying chiro-
practices to the annual homecoming
and various other activities indicat-
ing the marvellous growth of chiro-
practic.
The people who attended the lee
ture are indebted to Drs. Flodquist
and Brown for pleasant and in
structive lecture and picture show.
DR.. Gregerson's address on the hu-
man body and its functions leads to
a higher appreciation Of the wonders
and simplicity of the human anatomy
and its workings.

GOOD WRESTLING
MATCH MONDAY
No Decision Reached
After Two Hours
On the Mat

| Monday evening at the Orpheum
theatre the lovers of sport witnessed
what was unanimously pronounced
the best wrestling match ever put
on in Blackfoot. Abe Caplin and
Cliff Lewis each weighing ITO
pounds, went to the mat for two
hours and Ave minutes, each without
getting decision.
A fall was recorded for each one,
and they were all over the ring
and into the scenery and the lamps
and back to center until everybody
despaired of a decision for either
OF them. 1t was display of science
and effort to the utmost from start
to finish, and was most satisfac-
tory and gratifying exhibition of
clean sport and virile strength used
without temper or discorragement
on either side.
The match was put on by Farley
Flitton, salesman at Ted's Place,
who had looked over the field pretty
we'll and had another man in view
who agreed to challenge the winner
after this match and give Blackfoot
another exhibition. Just what will
be the next event after this tie re-
mains for the lovers of sport to de-
eide.
AS preliminary to the main
event tall old gentleman from
Idaho Falls whose nickname among
his friends is "Bill Haywood" gave
an exhibition of the methods of box
ing when he was in his prime and
was the champion boxer of Utah.
He took Harris Ayers to demon
srate with, and explained and DEM
onstrated the science as it was ac-
cepted in his days of success, and
showed the differences made since
then by the new rulings, one of
which was the pivot blow-made by
whirling on the heel and delivering
a blow full turn of the body. The
pivot blow has been ruled out and
is no longer practiced. Heywood's
exhibition was received with marks
OF hearty appreciation by the audi
ence.
They will meet again at Black
foot on Monday night, Feb. 20, to
break the tie.
On Monday, the thirteenth of Feb
ruary, Abe Caplin of Blackfoot, and
Henry Jones of Provo, will match
at the American Legion hall for the
best two out Of three falls.

Aided In Plan
of Robbery

Charles A. Faus of Salt Lake City

She said she did not know that
the holdup might lead to murder,
and only counted on jail sentence
in case they were caught-in any
event she would get even with Mrs.
Faus for correcting and disappoint-
ing her when she wanted to have
her fun.

Goshen Gravel
Is Recommended
For Road Bed

R. H. Ladd of Goshen reports on
the condition of the bond road
coated with Goshen gravel, lying
westward from the sugar spur at
Goshen, and says that it was built
in layers, placing the coarse SCREEN
ings in the bottom course and the
finer on the top, and rolling it in
with mixture of clay.
He says the part that was laid
on this plan has not shown any wear
in the couple of years it has been
in use and has not changed any
with the seasons, but is hard and
smooth all the time. He owns some
of the gravel deposits on the bench
above the loading and screening
plant and says 1t has been prospected
for considerable distance where it
lies ten or eleven feet deep, with a
good mixture of clay and natural
cement.

Idaho Potatoes
Sell for Eight
Cents in Florida

Idaho potatoes have come to be
more valuable than grapefruit. A
resident of Parma, Idaho, has re-
ceived letter from a friend in
Miami, Fla, which says:
wish you could see one of the
largest stores here that has basket
of large nice potatoes on exhibit in
a show window, with a neatly writ
ten sign that reads Idaho Baking
Potatoes, Eight Cents Each The
same store had a pile of large grape
fruit market 1.-TWO for Five Cents"
A western Idaho sheepman comes
back from Chicago with the informa-
tion that bills of fare here carry
the following: Baked Potatoes 15c"
Baked Idaho Potatoes zoe"
At that rate half dozen potatoes
cost the ultimate consumer morQ
than the Idaho producer is getting
for an entire sack.

Ryans Arrive in New York

Miss Katherine M. Ryan and Mr.. James R.
Ryan of the Golden Rule Mercantile Company wire
they have arrived in New York City and taken up
headquarters at the Pennsylvania Hotel.
They say that the American Woolen Company,
which manufactures 80 per cent of the cloth from which
wearing apparel is made, has surprised the public
by pricing their lines of cloth greatly reduced
prices.
These low prices together with the constant re-
ductions of labor COSTS have brought about the con-
dion which is making it possible for them to buy mer-
chandise at greatly reduced prices
They also state that wearing apparel for men,
ladies and children artstcally designed and
neatly trimmed than in the decade of preceedag years
they have been visiting the New York market, and
in most cases be sold at retail for prices as low
as the wholesale cost in former years. ,..@ d, .s
