AUTHOR|T|ESARE AT WORK ON THREE
 CLUES IN SECRET
Important Development Is Ex- pected to Yield Results in Next TWenty-four to For-
 ty-eight Hours

Important developments are imminent in the investiga- ton of the Bowling outrage.
 It is not too much to say that probably within "A hours the public will see the first re- suits of the investigation work which has been organized so thoroughly and has been pro- ceeding so silently and eff Actively.
 The investigators have not yet let it be known what direction their sus- picions have taken. The public Is in way familiar with some of the enemies pr. Bowling has made In hls health enforcement measures, but both he and the investigators have been eager not to do injustice by throwing suspicion upon those who may be innocent.
 It is known, however, that the
 officers have been working on
 two main clues and a third minor
 one, with particular effort given
 toward one which looked highly
 promising. Strangely enough, the
 clue which Dr. Bowling regarded
 as most important before he left
 for st. Louis Sunday has been
 reIegnted to second place because
 of a later important development.
 It is this lntter clue which is ex-
 pected to yield results wfthin the
 next "A or 4S hours.
 The authorities have thought best to conceal even the names of the men who are at work. though 1t is known that city. county and department of justice officials are active.
 The suggestion has been made that the case did not come under the feder- als statutes. because even though Dr. Bowling N q federal officer, q crime of this character would be matter for the state courts to handle.
 Is Federal Crime
 If the perpetrators of the crime and expecting never to be brought into the federal courts, they are due to have a rude awakening.
 Dr. Bowling. though city and coun- ty health officer. also holds com mission from the United States pub He health service and has charge of the expenditures of United States public health funds in this territory. In addition to this he is the repre- sentative of the United States Child Labor bureau and is paid a dollar a year for this work. Even though he is dollar a year man. however, this makes him as much of a federal offi- cial and employe as though he were getting a hundred thousand dollars a year. So that pr. Bowling Is doubly 8 federal employe.
 Three Laws Violated
 There are accordingly three sepa- rate federal statutes under which his attackers can be handled in the fed- earl courts. One of them covers the whipping crime itself. another pro- tects federal employe against inter ference in the discharge of his duty and third covers his constitutional safeguards as citizen.
 The penalty the court might in- f1ict in case a defendant is found guilty under these statutes Is largely matter of the judges discretion. It might run as high as 20 years in the penitentiary. The penalty would de- pend entirely on all the surrounding circumstances.

SUNSHINE BY MAY" PROOF
THAT WORST is OVER.

Sunshine by May" is the slogan of
the western farmers, according to
Robert Fuller, field correspondent for
the Autocaster service which supplies
the American Falls Press with its live
ly news and advertising service. Says
Mr.. Fuller:
"The skies loom brighter for the
farmer nearly everywhere, as the re-
suit of better farm prices, better
prices on livestock and produce, and a
better understanding Of the worlds
needs as compared to last fall when
his crops were dumped upon the mar
ket at an outrageous price.
"The farmer is beginning to spend a
little money. This condition is appar-
emit to the careful observer in 80 to 90
percent of the rural sections of Amer
ica."
Power county will undoubtedly see
h sunshine by May. A gloom cloud
has perched over us it is true. But now
the bright rays of returning confidence
and prosperity are piercing the black
ened clouds. Talk to n substantial
farmer if you please, or to any of the
numerous ones who have sought better
pasture in other fields, and learn the
lesson of their experience and faith.
Some day the Press will have a good
story on how Power county farmers
and Power county business men and
Power county bankers stood the test
of hard times. And when it is pub
1ished some of our alledged prosper
u neighbors will have some nourish-
ing brain food.

When VA Country America
Gel Its Fair Share OfThe
Wealth 1t Produces:o

When will Country America get it's fair share of
the wealth it produces? The United States has a to-
tai wealth of approximately $50 billions but only Is
percent of this goes to Country America, which pro-
duces most of the wealth and has sixty percent of the
people including cities and towns of less than ten
thousand.
John Fl. Perry, president of the American Press,
a national newspaper trade publication, advocates a
country newspaper "boc" as the only possible way
that country America can obtain justice on a par
with that extended to the organized city man or
manufacturer.
If country America awakes sufficiently to press
her present advantage and demand her rights irres-
spective of parties, it will obtain what Justly belongs
to it politically, industrially, economically and COM
mercially.
If the country publishers Of America will unity
and demand what belongs to country America, no
power on earth can stop them from getting it.
This government for the first time has recog-
nized the right of Country America to combine to do
cooperative marketing, This is only one step in the
right direction.
The protective tariff for agriculture as well as
for the manufacturer is in sight placing Country
America on a par with manufacturing America. This
is to be accomplished we hope through the strenuous
efforts of men like Senators Frank R. Gooding and
Arthur Capper, both champions of Country Amer
lea.
When city men and manufacturers and produc-
ers, combine for their mutual benefit an example is
set for their country cousins. They have just as much
to gain through cooperation. Fortunately the pendu-
rum OF progress seems 10 be SWlnlng toward the
country and the country should be alive to its oppor-
tunities. The country publishers can and must play
an important part in demanding the rights of Coun-
try America.
The Press believes that a great future of pro-
gress and prosperity lies ahead of Country America.
1t believes that the country publisher is about to reap
a part of the rewards that heretofore have gone to
the powerful city publisher. It believes that a more
equitable distribution of profits will accrue from the
advancement of agriculture to the foremost position
in our national scheme of government and industry.
1t believes that Country America is coming into its
own, that "back to the farm" will again soon be the
national slogan, and that it will herald a new era in
which so called "big business will be located in the
green valleys and over the fertile plains instead of in
the contested industrial centers of population as we
know them today. Let's hasten the day.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1929

What do you work for?" one fellow
says to another $50 / won't have to
work." comes back the answer. Then
the first fellow thinks-he thinks. Why
wouldn't it be best for him to start
where the other fellow expects to fin
ish-never work at all-arrive at the
finishing post without starting to run.
We can reach all sorts of conclusions
if we start to think wrong, and the
conclusions will be logical, and seem
right. They won't be right, because
they start from a twisted root. When
we see how surely brains and not force.
must rule the world, we e why We
should harness up u mental horses
properly, curry the cobwebs from u
minds and get down to truth as the.
basis of our thinking. A fire can give
us life as well as death according to-
how we use it. Twisted reasoning is
a dangerous thing.

THE ROMANCE OF
AGRICULTURE.

Eugene Grace, President of the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation, one of the
later m~illionaires created by Schwab
just as Carnegie put Schwab into the
millionaire class, reports that the steel
industry is sound, with business i'm
proving and with indications point
ing to a steady growth. What a change
in a decade. Before the vision of the
elder Morgan nodded for the business
world the picture of a co-ordinated
trade, the three or four hundred steel
plants were in a chaotic state. The
bold stroke of the iron hand of finance
started the industry along the lane of
amazing accomplishment. The peo-
pie were staggered at the results.
They had not veen thought of indus
try in terms of the billion. The timld
shook their heads. 1t was admitted
that behind the great issue of common
stock there was not an asset worthy Of
the name. The plant had to be re-
placed every year Dr. two, and the In
dustry seemed to rest on a shifting
sand. But time, and energy, backed
by the sterling character and ability
of men like Schwab, soon turned nebu-
lous assets into a basis for sound Gre
dit and today the steel industry is
regarded almost as the unfsiling ba-
rometer of the worlds trade.
The romance of steel excites the i'm
agination more than do the tales of
Hans Anderson, but it will Oe nothing
as compared with the romance of ag-
riculture when some great organizing
genius shows his head to lead the
farmers to their promised land Agri-
sultural organization is more COM

pick, of course, because where there
were only a few hundred steel plants
there are six and one-half million
farms, but the financial returns will
be correspondingly great and far more
lasting when organization is perfected.
The business problems are almost
identical, the coordination of produc-
ton of selling and of distribution. The
Farm Bureau and the agricultural bloc
are the two first signs of the times.
Upon that foundation is bound TO be
built the emancipation of the farmer
from a life Of drudgery and a world
wide industry that will benefit all
mankind.

BEWARE THE WIRELESS

WHOSE LOONEY NOW.

In China they have a funny little
brass coin, with a little hole in the
center of it, And when they go out
to buy a loaf of bread, or a bun or a
postage stamp, they have to carry
about a bushel of these comic coins to
pay the price.
Sunch money looks looney. doesn't
it?
In America there are four billions of
dollars worth of gold money-that is,
four thousand millions of dollars worth
of perfectly good gold cash. Does
America use it for capital for great
industrial and commercial undertak-
ings, that will give employment to two
or three millions of unemplyed people,
thereby enabling them to spend an
enormous total sum for goods. the pro-
duction of which will keep thousands
of others employed?
No! she does not. She just locks
that four thousand millions of gold
money in great steel vaults and keeps
it there in total idleness.
Whose looney now?
Is it the one that c~irculates it's mon
ey, however small the value, or is it
the on who puts his money under lock
and key where it does not a single per-
son an atom of good?
