COLONIZATION SHOULD
BEGIN At HOME.

Canada sends a colonization agent to
American Falls to interest people in
her irrigated lands irrespective of the
fact that American Falls and Power
County are in need of ~colonists them
selves, and probably have better OPP
portunities to offer than the neighbor-
ing nation on our north. On the face
of it, it would appear that Canada is
allowed an undue advantage at the
expense of dear Uncle Sam. When the
west us crying for more water and
more people, more facilities for in
creased production and wealth, it
would seem that the United States
should spend some little time and eff
fort in %colonizing it's own vast acres Of
unsettled but wonderful productive
land.
While there are a few farmers ready
to give up the ship, we are stimulated
by the fact that some half dozen, Mon
day, planked down the cash for nearly
a thousand acres of land that has
been producing for them over a long
period of years. The land sale was a
splendid ucces If all had the same
faith as those who bought additional
lands Monday colonization of Power
County would be automatic.

ablest actor and the best in drama to
our own town opera house.
The farm that once was the young
mans idea of what he should flee
from is now beginning to lure the town
boy as the ideal vocation to work to-
ward.
Throughout all the world the basic
business is the production of food and
shelter. The farm is the bulk pro-
Queer; the town the refiner. That bu-
siness has grown more productive and
more profitable as it has grown less
irksome and more alluring The bu-
mess farmer is the machine farmer.
We build bigger as we unbend
backs. When the tiller of the soil is
emancipated from toll, when he is able
to stand erect and be a worker, as ev-
cry business men is a worker, using
more head than hand, then do his eyes
behold the beauties of the countryside
OF which the poets preach. Then does
the farmer become not the man with
hoe, but the man with the hope.
Nothing puts this world forward
faster than %unbending backs.

We Must Unbend Backs

Hanging heavily about his neck, the
sack of seed bowed down the ancient
sower Today, without weight, he
only holds the reins that drive the
faithful team that haul around his
narrowed field, the omdern seeden.
Today we no longer have to walk i'll
the furrow o fthe pillow. We "a mount
the seat on the sulky and till vast
acres where once we turned the soil
of patches.
Once we used to. bend our backs to
drop the kernels of corn and finger
over the soil that covered them. Today
we ride the planter that does the big
ger job in the better and easier way.
We used to tether hay by hand but
now We tether by horse. Maud Muller
had to walk the stubbed field when
she raked the new-mown hay. Today
a loader lifts it on the rack and a har-
pooh throws it on the stack.
Millet, the great French painter of
peasants, pictured the harvester bend
ing low to swing his sickle. Then
came the cradle. At last a Cyrus Nc
Cormick found a reaper which in its
turn became the harvester, cutting and
binding the ripened grain.

floor is now done by the threshing
machine without which the great fields
of grain we now sow could never be

the muscle and the skill of the farm

and labor less. Dull drugery is fast
being made a story of the past.
The soil that cultivated ~suilenness
in the days of Millet is c~ultivating
skill and prosperity today.

they will laugh through any storm

have apparently passed. however,
they settle down into a state of
apathy. That condition is today
settling upon us. y
During the war, we preached
preparation. watchfulness, and the

TANNING WITH FARRELL
HARD FIGHTS AHEAD FOR WELTER CROWN

'llopc you hold it as long as | did -
Jack Britton told young Mickey Walk
er, wheiy the Judges handed the Jersey
youth tie wclterweight championship
after their recent bout.
Hope | do and wish ! could be as
good Il champion as you have been, -
the proud little Mike said.
There is little hope for the consum-
nation of the hope or the fulfllment of
the wish.
Not that young Walker did not earn
the decision which gave him the cham
piOnship, and not that he is not Il fine
chap, but the task of filling the shoes
of grand old Jack Britton is too much
to expect of any of the modern school
of boxers or fighters.
Britton was one in Il thousand, and
thousands come in revolutions of gen
erations. The former champion may not
compare to the rough style of bruising
predecessors who made names before
him, but he was first in the school OF
scientific boxing.
If the "art of scf-dcfcnse is to be
accepted as something more than an
alibi for prize fighting, Britton was one
of the greatest of all times because H.
was Il great master at it.
Walker happened along when age
had taken so much fire and energy from
the veteran champion that he was
ready to be dethroned by the first good
voungstcr who c0uld not be outwIttcd
and outtalked Walker just happened
along.
In division that is rapidly swelling
with promising Youngsters, Micky
Walker has anything but an easy road
ahead Of him if lie chooses to stay out
of she'll and become a real fighting
champion, something that is rarity
in these commercial days.
Any Young champion who has George
Ward, Dave Shade, Andy Thomas aud
several others ahead Of him has no
long time contract on the crown, unless
he has lot of stuff.
There is also Il young sensation out
in Cincinnati who has never appeared
in the cast--Billy Ryan, who broke into
the game as a sparring partner with
Britton. Before his dcthroncment,
Brittou rated Ryan as the most danger
Gus man in the class.

Yale and Harvard Game Is Second

United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.---Two of the
season S outstanding football games are
to be staged Saturday when the Army
and the Navy engage in their annual
battle at Philadelphia, and Yale plays
Harvard at New Haven.
For once, Yale and Harvard will
play second fiddle as far as the general
public is concerned. Princeton has al

and so has Yale. ..-.-

II picture and interest standpoint i'll

Both have exceptionally fine teams.
The army eleven has not been defeated,
although the games with Yale and
Notrc Dame ended in ties. The Navy
has only a flultey defeat at the hands
of Pennsylvania to blot its season 5
record. Against Notro Dame and Yale
the cadets looked somewhat sluggish
above the shoulders, and they viii have
to play smarter football if they are to
beat the midshipmen.

New Store Plan For
Feeding County Poor

Imperial County is saving consid-
cradle sum each month in the feeding
of the county poor by means of new
county store now in operation.
In past years, each INDECENT person
or family has been permitted to go to
a store and buy what he saw fit, and
in almost all cases the purchasers spent
considerable part of their allowances
for luxuries, together with the necessi-
ties
IF man, being fed at the expense
of the county, desired to eat canned
pineapples, peaches, berries or other
high priced fruits for dessert, he
bought can, and the county paid. Now
however, there is only one source of
supply, and that is from the county
store, conducted by superintendent
Adams, of the county farm, and all
supplies are bought in wholesale lots
at wholesale prices, and are delivered
by Mr.. Adams to the homes of the
needy.
He supplies them with plenty of food
stuffs but Injuries are no more a part
of the fare provided. Solid and sub
stantial food, such as meat, flour,
beans, corn meal, lard, sugar, pepper
and salt, are given out.
