Idaho Falls.-At the meeting here,
held in the interests of the eastern
dairy experts, who included Idaho
Falls in their tour of the state, the
unanimous opinion of the visitors as
expressed by them was that Idaho is
an ideal state for the dairy industry.
According to them the high freight
rates are detrimental to profit in
shipping raw materials out of this
state, but the finished products, such
as butter and cheese and hogs, could
be marketed at considerable gain. 1t
also came to light during the meeting
that eastern dairymen are paying as
high as $50 ton for hay on the At
lantic seaboard, and are realizing a
profit of that high price, which tended
to prove that the grower could easily
realize fortune by feeding his own
dairy herds.

eve of his departure for France last
December after a tour of the United

GERMAN MARK
SHOT DOWNWARD
BYFRENCHRULE
Z,S60 to- Pound Sterling is New
Low Record Hit Monday, In
dustry Thrown Into Disorder

The German mark crashed Monday
to 1880 to the pound sterling.
The latest decline, which has, cans.
ed industrial and commercial chaos,
is occasioned by the uncompromisine
position taken by Premier Poincare
of France that Germany will be fore
ed to pay her debts.
A formal note despatched bv
France is understood to have de
manded early payment for private
property damage.
The present crash of the mark is
considered more serious than, the
last one, which was occasioned by
the monarchistic plots.
Many Germans. with large supplies
of cheap marks on hand, were unable
TO spend them. Shopkeepers in. many
cases refused to unload their stocks
for marks, demanding foreign money
or gold in payment.
The rush of buyers to stores was
caused by the realization of the. in
eyitable rise in prices with the de-
cline OF the mark.
The collapse of the mark has eaus-
ed the Hungarian CROWN to sink low
er. The crown Monday was quoted
at 1000 for the. dollar: Bread i'm Bud
apest as sold at $50 crowns a loaf,
normally $125. Austrian papep money
is practically worthless.

IT WASLIKE THE
'ONE HOSS SHAY
Two Road Men Bring Their Car to
Grief on the Fox River Bridge
Near Portage.

Two young men, employed on the
county road system. William McMa.
hon, of Wyocena and Earl Merrill. OF
Pardeeyille, drove into Portage in a
Ford touring car to get supply of
feed.
On their return trip, with their
grain bags piled between the seats,
they had reached the Fox river
bridge, before they appreciated that
they were in such close proximity.
when veering suddenly to- get upon
the bridge they struck the left hand
side of il.
The car must have been going at a
fairly rapid clip, for it was practical
~ smashed to pieces. 1t simply went
off like the "One-Hoss Shay" A part
of the car was hurled into the river
and one of the heavy feed bags was
thrown at least a rod.
Those who viewed the remains
said they never saw such a mess.
One could scarcely conceive how it
could have happened without the
men being killed.
The men didn't came out quite I'M
scathed, but they may thank their
lucky stars that they escaped any
serious injuries.
