While there is little danger that
American Falls will suffer seriously
from the threatened coal shortage,
there is every indication of scarcity,
according to local coal dealers Last
month but one fourth of the cars or
dered were delivered to the city. Deal
ers expect a better percentage of de-
livery during August.
No instructions have been received
thus far from the Federal Fuel Ad-
ministration which has been organized
TO handle the coal delivery until the
termination of the coal miners strike
as well as the strike of the Shop craft
unions of the railroads.

neighbors are so situated that they
can burn wood for fuel should the
emergency arise to make 1t necessary

Icured in the river bottoms, the nearby
mountains and the lavas. Sage

Mrs. IN. N. Warner of Baker, Oregon,
Resents Canadian Efforts to Get
Our Citizens for Settlers.

There are thre or four million young
Americans becoming of age every year
in the United States who should re-
ceive preference rights on homesteads,
in the opinion of Mrs. M M. Warner of
Baker, Oregon, subscriber to the
Press. Her letter to the Press in part
follows:
Il admire your comments on Can
adian propaganda. Might it not be
English propaganda to make trouble
between the u. S. and Canada? The
Canadians always seem friendly. The
English are always on the warpath
Can't you start a campaign of re-
sistence to such propaganda being
published? We need a million more
farmers and you newspapermen could
do a good thing for your country by
getting the homestead law amended
so that native born young Americans
should be allowed preference fol
homesteads. Three or four native
born Americans are coming of age
every year who ought to have the land
You newspapermen could bring thi!
to pass within one year if you woult
bring yourself to the task

The Rocky Mountain Warblers-
noted male quartette of the west-has
been secured by the L. d. S. Church to

essary to break their Jump by stop

American Falls should pack the
church for this event as there is 10

are under a daily expense of about
twenty-five dollars and it is hoped
that this amount will be received in
the collection to be taken at the close
of their concert.
They are Chautauqua and Lyceum
people and have just completed six
weeks on the coast. having sung to
5000 people at Gladstone the largest
Chautauqua in the west, also num-
erous concerts in Portland's largest
churches as we'll as a Radio concert
for the Oregonian at Portland which
was heard by thousands of people in
California, Nevada, Washington, Idaho
and Montana.
Companies like the Warblers usual
ly sell to Chautauqua committees at
$50 to 200 dollars per night, but they
are on their own time while getting to
the Park and are using the above plan
to guarantee their travelling expenses.

Says County Treasurer Collections
Show Increase Over 1890.

There are delinquent on the tax rolls
of the county, $113, 3,403.06 compared

Collections on taxes for 1921 were
'$226,563.03 compared with collections

The delinquent accounts are consid-
'erably fewer this year due largely to
the fact that the Reclamation Service

improved, and on which the taxes had
not been paid for several years.
The total collections for the second
installment for 1921 which fell due

She spoke of the rapid and irregular

The fainting showed no heart disease,

Don't tell the boy how awkward he
is when he stumbles over his own feet
and don't know what to do with his

it, don't rub it in. You may make him
so self-conscious that he will never
