Friday Evening OF This Week.
No Game for Girls.

Both the boys and girls basket

weeks ago to play the locals, so was
the local quintet unable to unlimber
sufficiently TO roll up the number of
scores necessary for victory.
The local boys team is scheduled

ming OF this week. Kimberly was de-
feated last week by the Twin Falls
team. This will be the third game
of the season for the locals, who

year. Sunday is really the last day.
and Monday is the first day of 1923.

Because it is a legal holiday, the
banks will be closed for the day, and
the postoffice will observe Sunday
regulations. meaning there will be
no rural free deliveries.
With the approach OF the first OF
the year, it signifies inventory time
for local business houses and farm

general clearing of the slate for all.
Next week scores OF persons will

CITES PROSPECTS
FOR AGRICULTURE
in YEAR To COME
New Years Statement and Resume
of Agricultural Conditions
and Prospects.

tBy Secretary OF Agriculture Wal
lacel
Twelve months ago most OF the
six million farmers OF the United
States were starting on the long.
hard climb out OF the valley OF eco
nomio depression. They have not yet
attained the heights which are
bathed in the grateful sunshine OF
prosperity. Some. indeed. have fall
en- by the way. Others are still In
the valley. Nevertheless, as we stop
a bit and look backward we can see
that very considerable ground has
been gained by the great majority.
and we can enter the New Year with
renewed hope and with that cour-
age which comes from the realization
that we are really making progress.
Promises Fulfilled.
A year ago. when speaking OF the
prospects for farming in 1919, /
said that while there was no reason
TO expect boom times for the farmer
in the near future. there was prom
Use OF better times. both for the
farmer and for those whose business
is largely dependent upon him. The
year has brought fulfillment OF that
promise. Speaking generally. times
are better, much better. than a year
ago. both for agriculture and for
industry.
Crops have been good on the
whole. Prices OF the major crops are
mostly considerably higher. While
there has been a corresponding adj
vance In the prices OF the things the
farmer must buy. the total sum
which the farmers will receive for
the crops OF this year is greater by
a billion and half dollars or more
than that which they received for
the crops OF last year. This will
certainly mean better times on the
farm. and farm folks will be able |
to ease up a little on the grinding |
economy they we're forced to prac-
lice the preceding year.
Obligations Refunded.
The labor cost OF producing the
:rops OF 1922 was still further re-
iuced. There were some substantial
in freight rates. Much
lelpful legislation has been enacted
md more will be this winter In
crest rates are lower and the credit

bition and the income tax laws
are doing more to make criminals
than any other single cause, Vic
tor Miller. police commissioner
declared at a church meeting last
night. Mr.. Miller caused a SEN
satiOn recently by declaring that
immoral clubs existed at a public
high school.
The fragrant violations of the
dry law and efforts of persons to
evade the income tax laws, can't
but create in tie minds Of the
young and ignorant a disrespect
for the law and that is the begin
ming of a criminal" he declared.
Mr.. Miller said the only way
prohibition could be enforced
was to punish the buyer as well
as the seller Of whiskey.
