THAT AMERICAN FALLS MONEY

POCATELLO, Feb. 12.-ln view
of the widespread misapprehension
as to he item Of $1,200,000 carried
In. the recently introduced appro-
priation bill for the American Falls
project, the Idaho Reclamation as
ISOLATION, after securing answers to
inquiries. from Congressman Add
son T. Smith and from Director A.
p. Davies fthe reclamation service
at Washington, has given out the fol-
lowing statement:
"Mr. Davies wired: 'Appropria-
lions committee has just reported
bill to the house In which all APP
propriations for projects are from
the reclamation fund and valid only
to the extent that future accretions
to the fund will permit. The prin-
cipal source Of such receipts Is re-
payment for past work
''This makes It plain that the pro-
posed appropriation is not direct
appropriations, but merely provides
for an apportionment of funds when
same may be available in the recla-
nation fund. 1t also makes 1t pos
Tsible for the government to meet any
payments made by contracting COM
panies and districts under the Ameri-
can Falls project, all of which are
now delinquent.
Last year there was appropriated
for the Minidoka project, Of which
American Falls dam is part, ST.
750, 900, less than 100000 Of which
was ever received. OF the $364,000
actually received, the larger part
went to operating expenses on the
Minidoka; only 100000, or less
than 10 per cent, becoming actually
available for American Falls.
Apparently the reclamation SER
vice is not handicapped, as one dis
corning editor puts it, not for lack OF
appropriations, but for lack OF
money.
This is further shown by telegram
to the manager Of the Idaho Recla-
nation association from Congress-
man Smith, saying:
While we have succeeded in
prevailing on the committee on ap-
preparations to repor favorably on
appropriations of $1,200,0O0 for ex-
tension of Mipidoka project in con-
nection with the construction Of
American Falls reservoir, further
work on the project cannot proceed
unless irrigation districts comply
with the terms of their contract by
making initial payments

TIME FOR CUTTING TIMBER
Insects and Fungi Which Attack
Wood Are Less Active in Fall 4
and Winter Seasons.

Fall and winter are best for cutting
timber. Insects and fungi which at
tack wood are then less active. Sea-
soning is slow and there Is little ex-
cessive checking. It is easier to haul
logs on sleds than on wheels. and la
Dor suitable for woods work Is usual
.ly more available.

and sacked his corn at spare times
during the fall. He had learned from
the county agent how to kill the
weevils. The only expense he went
to, although his corn brought 50 much
better price, was for sacks and the
weevil exterminator. He said the
shucks we're worth all that for rough
age for his cows. This gave him 500
more for 200 bushels OF corn than
his neighbor who sold the same day.

Marguerite E. Harrison, correspond
emit for the Baltimore Sun, is back from
an extended stay in Moscow and here
is what she says about how she bought
a pair Of shoes.
A man, who was an acquaintance OF
hers was thrown into prison on some
trivial charge, and got word to her that
he was practically bare-footed and needed
pair Of shoes awfully bad, but the mes
senger forgot what he said about the size
of the shoes. People who want to buy
or sell something in Moscow assemble in
certain square and offer their goods for
sale and carry on traffic that is illegal
but is never entirely suppressed. The
police raid it once in while, a few
people are thrown into prison, and in
half an hour the traffic starts again.
Then it may not be raided again for a
week. People offer all kinds of second
hand stuff for sale. Mrs. Harrison went
into this illegal market and bought
pair Of mems shoes for 10000 roubles,
Soviet paper money. 1t was $4,000 OF
our money if the roubles were passing
at par, or $500 1t the present rate of
exchange. The street car service was 50
bad that she walked out to the prison,
distance of two miles, sent the shoes
in, waited a long time and they were
returned to her with the message that they
were one size too small; he could not
wear them.
The next day she went again into the

WORD FOR FLAPPERS

In the nations gradual and steady progress toward the fulfillment of it's democratic ideals, she maintains, social and economic ideas consid- cred chimirical when she was yyoung are becoming commonplace now.
 This progressive woman has a good word for the flappers. Although she believes that girls do not study so diligently as they once did she is in accord with their strivings for freer and broader lives.
 Mrs. Crawford was teacher for two years after she had been grad uated from the Greensboro College for Women and had spent one year at Vassar, which was then four years old. Her marriage to a Meth odist clergyman, bringing with it many home and parish duties, did not interrupt her craving for knowledge. Nor did her occupations at home prevent her from insuring her health by enjoying outdoor life and exercise. Associate with young folks, she also advises those who wish to remain young in spite of their years.
 Three of her five sons are teach CTS and two are engaged in busi- ness in Winston Salem, N. c. In Greensboro Mrs. Crawford lives with her daughter She has two granddaughters, seven and eight, who are doing their best, by assidu- ous study, to keep up with grand mother"

FINDS
 NEW INTERESTS
 AS GROWS OLD

Any mother will testify that the
 rearing of six children is pretty
 much of a life work in itself, but i Mrs. A. P. Crawford, of Greensboro, N. C., who is staying at No. APO , West One Hundred and Nineteenth street, feels that she lost her job
 when her children grew up and prov
 ed themselves able to shift for , themselves.
 She wasted no time in ruminat-
 ing over the possibility of the dan gerous age," as did Rose Macauly's
 women in her recent novel, but made up her mind that there were still many things going on in the world that would prove interesting study for woman of seventy-one. And what do you suppose Mrs. Crawford is delving into? Nothing short of Prof. Montague's course in radical, conservative and reaction ary tendencies in present-day mor- las and lectures in comparative lit erature. This oldest student of Col umbia certainly responds for her sex to ex-President Wilson's search for forward looking folk as she has chosen just about the most modern subjects one could find in the university's abundant curriculum.
 The conclusion of the six weeks course will not find Mrs. Crawford satisfied that she has mastered the subjects she is pursuing here, be- cause she intends using the in struction as basis for extensive reading when she goes back to her home, in the South. Her knowledge of history, her grasp of philosophy and her thorough acquaintance with contemporary affairs convince her that a new social and industrial or der is arising out of the struggles of capital and labor.

day, but one would never guess he has
reached the three score and ten by his
appearance. In compliment to her
father, Mrs. +. w. Judy planned real
birthday party at her home, inviting
his friends and neighbors and their
children. 1t was q truly happy event
all around. The house was decorated
in yellow and green and looked pretty
and suggestive Of springtime. One Of
the most enjoyable features of the
evening was q guessing contest in
which all tried to pick ont the baby
picture of certain Of the guests. There
were pictures Of all, but it was a hard
task to find features in the baby pie
lures which would link it up with the
middle aged, the elderly or the younger
man or woman and the effort created
no end of merrimcnt. Cake, ice cream
and strawberries followed by coffee
were served by the hostess. The guests
were b. O. Mitchell, wife and children,

FIRST CHAUTAUQUA
NUMBER TONIGHT

The advance guard Of the Ellison
White Chautauqua arrived in Ell Cen
tro this morning, consisting of Paul
Fleming & Company, who will give this
evenings program, and Mis-, Lucille
Tysseling, who will conduct the Junior
Chautauqua. The performers came from
Yuma. Miss Tysseling has been busy
today visiting the various schools and
making arrangements to start off the
Junior Chautauqua tomorrow after
noon. In Ell Centre she will conduct
the Junior Chautauqua every afternoon.
The Chautauqua carries its own athle-
tic equipment for baseball, vOlley ball,
and track events. These games will
be played on the week g program and
an athletic carnival will be held the
last day with suitable prizes for the
winners of the various events. Each
day there will also be story hour and
instruction in new and interesting
games, especially devised for the Junior
Chautauqua.
The seats are being placed today in

new COUNCIL CUTS
DOWN CITY COST
ACCOUNTS

The city council met last night with
all members in attendance. The meet
ing was the regular monthly meeting of
the board and the regular budget Of
bills constituted the principal order Of
business. In working over the bills it
was worth the price of admission to see
the hard boiled business men Of the new
board scrutinizing expenditures. No
overcharge or improper charge could run
the gauntlet of the whole board without
being detected and the saving in this
one batch Of bills alone aggregated q
sizablc pay check.
The Woman 8 Ten Thousand club was
given permission to rope off part Of
State street for the purpose Of holding
series of street dances in connection
with the drive to finance the new Wom-
an 8 club house.
An ordinance was read for the first
time defining new limits for the stock
feeding district. This ordinance is be-
ing enacted at the request of E. H.
Rose and seeks to include certain prop
erty Of Mr.. Rose in the stock feeding
limits, he having an enterprise OF this
character in contemplation.
A resolution was passed renting the
license tax Of the Chautauqua. The or
linary tax for entertainments of this
character is $25 per day.
Action was taken to purchase a new
direct drive pump for the water depart
ment. Filtered water which has been
prepared at great cost is now used for
flushing certain settling basins. The
new pump will make it possible to do
this with unfiltered water and thereby
make a substantial saving besides con-
serving the domestic water supply.
The board has under advisement q
plan for reducing water rates. Figures
show that the department is now self
sustaining and has worked out of the old
deficit Of former administration, but
more data is needed before establish
ing new rates. Action on this matter
is promised at an early date, however.
The new pump is to be of the direct
drive type and will cost $l,l00.

HEAR ATWOOD
Hon. II. +. Atwood addressed a fail
sized audience yesterday afternoon al
State Street church, composed princi
pally Of members of the Ten Thousand
Club.
Mr.. Atwood represents the Better
American Federation of California. Ht
believes there is only one form of gov
ernment to be wholly trusted, that form
a, republic, such as the U. S. cOnstitu
tiOn provides.
In his opinion, the forming of the
United States constitution and its
adoption was the greatest event in his
tory save the birth of Christ. 1t came
after centuries of experimental failures
and was the exponent of a standard
form, which, he said, is the right stand
ard in the science of government, just
as the Golden Rule is the correct stand.
ard in the philosophy of right living;
the 10 digits in the science OF mathe-
matics; the alphabet in the languages.
Atwood does not believe in the recall
the initiative and refendum and is as
radical in his opposition to democracy
or direct rule by the people as Alcxan-
der Hamilton was. He does not be-
lieve in instructing representatives in
Legislative halls, or pledging them be-
fore election, and he thinks national
difficulties all began when the people
started to clamOr for more direct power.
