.ONLYONE PURPOSE
FOR BIG DISTRICT
Attorney General Black Rules That
Organization Can Form For Bond
ing For Purchase of Water Exclu-
sively.

Pocatello. Idaho, May Sat the
request of Guy Flenner, manager of
the American Falls reservoir cam
paign for the Idaho Reclamation AS
sociation, Attorney General Roy l..
Black has rendered an opinion that
the formation of the proposed super
district in the Snake river valley as
a means of financing the great pro-
ject is specifically authorized by law
and that such a district "can be
formed only for bonding purposes for
purchasing water supply"
The Attorney General in his opin-
ion says:
you have submitted to me the fol-
lowing question:
May an irrigation district be form
ed in such manner that it operates
only for one purpose, say for bond
ing purposes to supply money with
which to purchase water without such
district taking over and attempting to
operate the detailed distribution OF
water?'
The Answer.
Answer: Section 4313, Revised
Statutes, as amended by 1921 Session
Laws, page 529, reads as follows:
Whenever fifty or majority of the
holders of title, or evidence of title, tc
lands susceptible of one or more
modes of irrigation from the same OF
different source, and by means of the
same or different systems of works
desire to provide for the irrigation O
the same, or when FOR OTHER REA
SONS they desire to organize the pro
posed territory into one district, the!
may propose the organization of an ir
rigatiOR district under this title.'
1T is my opinion that an irrigation
district can be formed and operateI
only for bonding purposes for pur
chasing a water supply. If forme,
for that purpose it would not be neces
sary in my opinion for the district t
attempt to do any other acts unde
the irrigation law than that of main
tanning the organization for the pur
pose of providing its bonds and tn
procedure for collecting of inseres
and principal on the same,
Il can see no other reasonable in
depreciation for that part of the fore
going section underlined as above"

GOOD SAMARITAN
D|ESAT ROCKLAND
Valdez GuadlOupe Gave Away Several
Small Fortunes to People in Rock
land Valley But the County Had to
Bury Him.

valdez Guadloupe, in his 100 years
span OF life gave away several small
fortunes to the people of Rockland
valley. Nearly everyone in the Val
ley attended his funeral last Sunday
He had not single enemy. He free
ly gave his land and money to early
settlers. His latch string was always
out-But he died in poverty with
dugout for home and the county had
to bury him.
His friends were legion, we are told.
No sacrifice was too great for him to
make for friend. He was a good
Samaritan and travelled the open road,
doing good whenever and where ever
he could. And the county will have to
pay his hopsital bill.
Valdez was once a Catholic but he
is reported to have belived in no
church at the time of his death He
was in the hospital six hours and died
without comforting word, soothing
hand, or peace maker. He might
have cursed God for the ingratitude of
those he befriended. But he probably
said forgive them, they know not
what they do" They were all at his
funeral, some brought flowers, and
perhaps there were tears. But in
sickness and death they knew him
not.
| First Settler.
Valdez was the first and Oldest set
tier of Rockland valley and at one
time owned almost the entire country.
He freely gave of his land to the set
tiers and helped the poor and needy
in every way. Everyone was welcome
at his door and to anything he owned
He was an honest man in all his do
ings. He was widely known through
out the valley and had no enemies
Guadloupe came to this country
/ from Mexico many years ago as a COW
puRcher with eight other boy friends
They all returned home or died except
him. He stayed to make his fortune
Valdez did not know how old he was
but from different things and hap
penings his friends estimate that he
was born in the year 1880 making him
92 years OLD. He also has a diary oi
his life and this helped them to arrive
at his age.

l.. d. s. Church Sunday afternoon a

Farm Bureau Delegates
To Take Muscle Shoals
Fight to Congress

FLORENCE, Ala, Jan. 21.-At
the final session Of two-day con-
ference of the southern group Of the
American Farm Bureau federation
here today, delegates representing
half the agricultural states of Amer
lea declared intention to carry their
fight for development of government
property at Muscle Shoals direct to
the halls of congress.
The conference Endorsed the pro-
pcsal Of Henry Ford to lease the
propd.ty and, by resolution, urged
immediate resumption of construc-
ton work, declaring that it would
be IAN economic crime" to longer
postpone development.
Support to the agricultural bloc
in congress was ple.ged and an
amortization plan recommended fer
financing the Muscle Shoals project
without taking a dollar from the
treasury" Income from the prop
erty would pay interest and retire
bonds under the farm bureaus
financing plan.
Five complete cooperative mar
keting organizations for major
crops and q like number in process
of organization, promised to rid agri-
culture Of it's inefficient marketing
system, according to report read
by j. T. Orr, president of the Texas
Farm bureau.
Waste, inefficiency and graft
which caused a national scandal in
our market system" said the re-
port, have been replaced by the
application Of logical economic prin-
ciples.H
Suoh cooperative marketing,
Mr.. Orr said, meant the salvation
of the American farmer.

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

They make it hard for the honest
poor man, who must have credit or
he cannot farm or be trusted to do
work by contract. Beating the
game" is the order of the day with
those who have neither moral sense
or pride of character, and there are
scores of such people.
Just as the decent, Woodworking
negroes among us are made to suf-
fer in reputation and lack of credit
by the vicious and lawless of their
own color, so the poor whites are
refused credit when they sorely
need it for the reason that idle,
lying tramps, Vagabonds and sleek
crooks are infesting our country,
and also because dishonest white
men beat their creditors when they
see a chance to get by with it.
Also, the country seems to be
infested with some women, young
and middle-aged, who are ready to
take up with any sort of a man
who can furnish them with money
for fine clothes and victuals. The
poor simpletons who follow their
lure are certain to go down in man
ners and morals, to destruction of
reputation and appearance Of hon
eSty.
There are good people all over the
country who see and feel and deplore
this condition of public affairs, but
the tide Of evil is too strong in high
places as we'll as low places to over
come it.
Education in school books will not
reform the next generation. There
must be honesty, decency and indus
try where they live or the child will
follow the parent. It has been SO
always, and so it will continue.
Parents have allowed the children
to do as they please-to go where
they please and to spend every pen
ny where they please, until the lax
ity has become epidemic. There is
less of what used to be known as
family government than at any pc
riod during three-quarters of a cen
fury. What are We heading for,
dear reader?

section. It has a longer grazing pc
Rod than any other crop and has
d higher feeding value than ..most
other crops used for permanent pas
ture Every hog farm should also
have a Bermuda grass pasture with
lespedeza and bur clover for use
when the alfalfa needs a rest. =
Crops Suited to Hog Grazing
The grazing crop system should be
as simple as possible so as not to
require fencing and seeding of too
many small patches. But until the
main fields of the farm are. fenced,
it is essential that there "a a few
small fields provided for grazing
purposes There are many crops
suitable for grazing, among which
are soy beans, cowpeas, velvet
beans, peanuts, corn, oats, wheat,
rye, barley, rape and sorghum. A
mixture of rye, oats and wheat sown
early is good for winter and spring
grazing. Sorghum is a reliable crop
for midsummer, but makes feed of
only fair quality. Early corn and
soy beans and plenty of corn to fin
ish off the hogs. .
Below is set forth q cropping plan
for the farm which keeps two cows
as an additional source Of income,
depending chiefly on cotton and
other crops for cash income. Owing
to the present financial conditions,
there are doubtless many who, al
though wanting to get a start with
hogs, are unable to go in on large
scale.

Pretty Girl Mayor
Of Ohio City Defends
Styles Of Present Day

FAIRPORT, Ohio, Jan. 21.-
Charges against the modern girl are
all wrong, DIR. Amy Kaukonen, pref
ty girl mayor of Fairport, said in an
interview today.
''Some folks are so narrow there
isn't room to stick them between
the eyes with pin," Mayor Kaullon-
en- declared.
THE modern girl is charged with
bobbing her hair, shaving her eye
brows, powdering her nose, rolling
her stockings and other startling in
novations in dress.
"Why shouldn't a girl bob her
hair if she wants to? Nobody sets
up a howl when the men do it, and
look at the men you see in the front
row of the theater and the back row
at church with head as devoid of
covering as an egg.
Furthermore, 1 recommend a
close hair cut for every married
woman, so if hubby comes home all
lit up from moonshine whisky and
just itching for a fight he won't be
able to get such firm grip on wife S
hair when the marital battle begins.

wearing short skirts. I wear short
skirts myself and 1 don't see why a
girl should hide her ankles any more
than her elbows. There isn't a man

Whats the Matter With Us-the
Dear PeODle?

The newspapers aCre daily report
.ag Iawlessness and cold-blooded
murders. Human life seems to be the
only very cheap thing in this coun-
try. If one should stop to think of
menacing dangers, then one might
hesitate to leave the shelter of ones
own roof to walk in a crowded
street by day or a dark alley by
night. FootpadS in the city of At
lanta are encountered almost daily,
and the finding of a murdered man
in his back lot or in his automobile
is a frequent occurrence. DR.. Will
mer's article on disregard of law in
The Atlanta Sunday Journal of Jan
uary Is is exactly to the point. Moon
shine whisky is leading people to
crime and general destruction, and
liquor is as plentiful in secreted
places, where it is handed out and
sold to lawlesS men, as easily as
when only local option laws were
trying to curb both sale and manu-
facture with US. There were never
so many judges, sheriffs and con-
stables in Georgia as now. When a
court session begins the courthouse
is filled with witnesses to prove the
lawless and continual devilment
that is all around and about us.
With a federal amendment de-
nanding the punishment of such
violators of the liquor law, reckless
men will manufacture liquor and sell
it just as if there were - +-''s or
federal penitentiary for evildoers.
The smell of liquor is abroad in
the land Even the police can handle
and sell it, and when convicted, are
still kept in their offices. The whole
thing is farce and a direful TRACE
dy. Men of good raising are drink
ing to their own ruin. Cheating
and swindling are recognized as
evils, but sharp fellow can go into
bankruptcy and beat every man who
trusted him as a honest man
abroad or a gentleman in his home.
Sometimes the slickest of these
bankrupts are shouting brethren in
the churches.
These things are so familiar, so
common and so increasing that a
merchant in business Is obliged to
measure all his customers with some
sort of yardstick to be able to sell
a dollars worth of merchandise even
to regular customers. They feel
obliged to make the honest people
pay the extra cost on merchandise
because they are obliged to strike
off so many debtors who are really
crooks at heart and out to beat
everybody they owe. These crooks
are the bane of our social fabric.
