IF WE WOULD PROSPER

The farmer 3 problems become the
problems of the nation, and more di-
rectly THAI part Of it in immediate
contact with the farming industry.
What can be done to help the tillcr
of the soil win help all dependent up
on him. In his biennial report our
commissioner of immigration, o. H.
BarbeE gives us something worth
while to think about along this line
in the following extract:
While progress has been halted,
Idaho is not at the end of her de
velopmcnt. We may have to await
better financial conditions before
large new projects will be undertaken,
but we are now undergoing change
in the trend of development which
viii cut up our large farms and stim-
ulate the production of condensed and
more valuable products. Increased
transportation costs and demoralized
wgtld markets, both outgrowths of the
War, have brought this change about.
IF we would prosper, transportation
costs must be reduced and we must
get more for the products we turn
off. A rapid growth of our dairyiug,
seed, poultry and other industries
which send condensed products TO
market is bringing partial r.'lier.
Eventually these industries will go far
towards permanently solving our for
eign problem, which is one of our,
greatest handicaps. The regular
freight charge from Idaho to the cen.
tral west on hay required to produce
carload of butter approximately
$4,000, while the freight on car of
butter is only about $3.50. If we cnn
market our hay in q form to save this
freight charge it alone means to n
large number of our farmers the diff
ference between success and failure
and to our business institutions great
er prosperity. The freight to Chica-
60 on alfalfa or clover seeds grown
On an acre is from So to $s, compared
to about 800 for potatoes yielding
$50 sacks per acre. These facts point
the way to the placing of our agrf-
culture on a sounder basis, partial
solution of our freight problem ana
car shortage, and return Of generni
prosperity.

Many Enjoy Homecoming Event Given
at Fraternal Hall Last Evening.
Program, Dancing. Dinner


On Wednesday eveningA December
81, at the Fratcrnal Hall, the alumni
and seniors OF the Nezperee High
School were entertained with pro.
gram and dance prepared by the Alum.
nj association. This was the first event
of its type given by the Alumni asso.
citation and owing to its huge success
a continuation of the plan has been ar
ranged.
Al crowd of about sixty couples was
in attendance and danced to the music
of the jazzy Harmony Four until the
hour of eleven. At this time mess
call was given and after series of
line plunges and end runs the crowd
succeeded in getting into personal
touch with a bounteous lunch provided
by assisting ladies. This part of lhs
program was the feature of the even,
ing, for the tired souls and empty stom-
aehs were both in need Of encourage.

A brief, although well given, pro.
gram was then rendered by members
of the Alumni and High School. The
detail of the program:
Welcome address by John Conger.
Response, Charles Jamison.

'sThe Strong Man." by Merwin
Harding in person.
Phantom Dance, by Fannie Farrar.
Song by Miss Derf.
sfThe Mind Reader" Mrs Robert
Wright and William Conger.
The Humanola =, played by Audrey
stapleton.
The program consisted of a series
of foolish stunts prepared by Mrs. q.
c. Pennell, and was greatly enjoyed by
all present. 1t Is often said that smiles
are very rarely seen in this community
owing TO the stressing times, but IL
Old Man Gloom could have heard tho
chuckles of mirth that came from the
sidelines last night he would have
gone back to his hole in despair. Even
if Charlie Chaplin had entered the hall
last evening during the program he
would have been honored only with
hasty glance.
Dancing was again continued I'M
mediately after the program and even
till the hours of morn, they danced on.
About one o'clock however, the or
chestra admitted defeat and with
handshakes and laughs the gay COM

TAXES COLLECTED $4,000

On last Saturday night County
Treasurer Scoficld concluded the col
lection of the first installment OF the
1922 taxes for Lewis county, and when
the footings of the total collections
were made 1t was found the sum,
$l37 900, or near that, was about the
same as that taken in for the same
period last year The total to be col
lected for 1922 is $27o,00o, giving IT
in round numbers, or about slS,ooo
more than for 1921. 1t is figured the
per centagc of delinquency will run
a little more for the current tax than
for that of the previous year, which
was about per cent.

According to statement issued by
the Ford Motor Company, deliveries
of Ford cars and trucks to retail
buyers during the month of November
totalled 106,327. This is new high
saNee record that has never before
been approached by the Company at
this season Of the year and one which
stands out in marked contrast to the
November 1921 retail delivery figures
which totalled slightly over $4,000
cars and trucks.
For eight consecutive months, be.
ginning with April 1st of this year
retail deliveries have exceeded 100000
Ford cars and trucks each month; the
accumulated total for the first eleven
months of 1922 being approximately
100000. While the Company points
out that it is not unusual for Ford
retail sales to exceed the 100000 mark
during the spring and early summer
months when the demand is at its
peak, tho manner in which business
has held up throughout the balance
of the year is without precedent.
Credit for this remarkable showing
is attributed by the Ford Motor &
pany to the many improvements which
have lately been made on Ford Cars
and particularly to the new low leyei
Ford prices, recently put into effect.
These new low prices not only broad
en- the field of prospective Ford pur-
chasers but go still further in max
ing the Ford ear the best value from
the standpoint Of the retail buyer,
that it has ever been.
Although the Ford factories have
beed operating af capacity for the
past eight months, sales have equal
led production and judging from the
unusual manner in which orders arc
coming in at this season of the year
Ford dealers wig be unable to ac-
cumulate an adequate stock of cars
during the winter months for deIiv
cry next spring.
In the opinion of the Ford Motor
Company, November sales are an IN
dication that many prospective pur-
:hasers, realizing the exceptional val
10 now being offered in Ford cars,
ire beginning to anticipate an unusual
spring demand and are therefore pls
ng orders during the fall and Will
continue to do SO throughout the win |
or to avoid disappointing delays IN
delivery later on. While this will re-
ieve tho situation to some extent,
t is pointed out that the steadily In
reasing demand for Ford cars is new
rtheless sure to create an acute short
ge as the season advances.
Accordingly, the Ford Sales Organ,

purchasers to arrange for delivery
