REVIVAL OF ANCIENT SPORT

The ancient and honorable sport
of barnyard golf is coming back.
Horseshoe pitching is fast becoming
recognized as national sport, and
it has acquired that dignity and i'm
portance which has led to state and
national tournaments of horseshoe
pitchers.
1t was once a great American
game, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster and others used to
indulge in the sport as mild form
of after dinner exercise. At barn
raisings, training days, picnics and
other forms of social intercourse, one
could always find few devotees OF
the sport. 1t is an interesting game
to watch and close contest always
had circle of spectators gathered
about the two posts. Every commun-
ity had its own champion and rivalry
ran strong.
Baseball came, then along came
golf, tennis and other kinored sports
and QUOT pitching died out, except
around the village blacksmith shop
where men played to while away the
time when the team was being shod.
But as the fivver and the truck re-
placed the family horse to large ex-
tent the blacksmith shop lost its
crowds. Some sought to revive the
game by pitching piston rings about
the garage. but it never caught on.
A few years ago an attempt was
made to revive the sport and it was
the butt of much misplaced humor
on the part of the devotees Of base
ball, football, golf, tennis and kindred
sports. It outlived derision and it is
now on firm basis. A national con-
test was held not long ago. 1t is
sport in which young and old can
meet on an equal basis.
Real horseshoe pitching is not as
simple as 1t looks. 1t requires a
knack to Judge the distance accur-
ately and to get just the required
slant in order that the shoe will
plunk down over the stake. 1t looks
easy, but it is not. 1t is not beneath
the dignity of the great to indulge in
the sport. It is said that President
Harding tosses a mean horseshoe
and he can hold his own with not
few Of the amateur class.-Exchange

To the Voters of Delta County

To the Voters OF Delta County
1 have been designated by the Re-
publican Assembly as candidate for
the nomination for County Commission
er First Commissioners District.
If given the nomination at the Prim-
ary election on September 18th, and
elected at the General Election on No
vember 7th, 1922, will give all ques-
tions which come before the County
tion
am an advocate of law enforce
ment l will endeavor to give the coun-
ty the kind of representation which will
reflect credit upon our commonwealth;
will economically conduct the affairs of
Delta County with the view of saving
thousands Of dollars to the taxpayer,
at the same time maintaining our roads
in the best possible way.
l have been a taxpayer in Delta
County for the past 35 years; served
four years as County Commissioner, and
know the conditions and wants of the
people. 1 will endeavor to treat all
parts of the county equally.
It would seem to me that in these, of
all times, the effort should be to put the
people into ways of earning more mon

money from them.
Upon these principles solicit your
vote at the primary.

Armenia's men were practically ex-

in Armenia's final struggle against
Bolshevism and Turkish invasion that
continued till late last spring.
So, these o%rphanage wards - their

-1O A SON of the Northwest
has fallen one of the biggest
most gratifying jobs connect
ed with Americas great
hearted task of helping her
valiant, but Inflated ally-bleeding
starving Armenia-back to health
strength and self-support.
Samuel E.. Newman of Middleton,
Idaho. a graduate of the College of
Idaho at Caldwell, an army chaplain
during the. war, and last year in
charge Of West Washington head
quarters of Near East Relief at Seat
tie, has been picked by Near East Re-
lief to superintend a huge educational
and auxiliary relief farm at Alexan-
dropol, Armenia.
Mrs. Newman, his wife, formerly
Miss Ethel Long, a South Idaho girl,
who is a graduate of the college at
Caldwell, too, and also of the o. A. c.,
with the class of 1920, has been placed
in charge of the relief society's Of
fices in the same city.
The Newmans left Seattle early last
summer for the actual relief field.
For the last few months they have been
surrounded by m%addening scenes of
suffering and menaced by all manner
Of personal perils at a Dig %orphanage
center in Alexandropol a death
haunted hub of colossal human misery, |
where every day they see dozens die
in the streets from starvation, cholera
and typhus for the want of food and
care.
Here, Mr.. Newman is witnessing the
actual relief which food and funds he,
personally, helped to gather, have
made possible, while his successor, s.
F. Hazard, 339 Burke building, Sc

East Relief in the Northwest are driv-

Government to complete this grea
public improvement would have jus

but your plan would upset the
money system of the world and
might work incalculable harm"
Not necessarily; not at all. We
need not abolish anything. We need
not even abolish the gold standard.
Simply forget that there is any such
thing as gold standard, and whenever
the Government needs money for
a great, serviceable and profitable
public Improvement, instead of think
ing of bonds and their heavy drag of
interest charges, think of redeemable
Notwithstanding currency.
DO you realize how the interest
charges of u Government mount
up? Do you appreciate that 80 cents
OF every dollar raised by taxation is
spent in payment of interest? The
national debt is nothing more nor less
than the nations interest liability
pile. Every public improvement this
country makes means an increase to
the national debt. Here's a way to
get the improvements without increa-
sing the debt. The interest load is
breaking down our whole financial
system; we've got to stop some

ed that we think there is no other de-
sirable standard.
We should change our minds on
that question. The only difference
between this currency plan and the
bond plan is that there's no interest
to be paid and the money merchants,
who do nothing to build the dam and
deserve nothing, will get nothing"
"But how is all this going to stop
war;"
Simply because if tried here at
Muscle Shoals, this plan will prove
so overwhelmingly and amazingly
successful that the American people
will never again consent to issuance
of an interest bearing bond for an in
ternal Improvement. When the Gov
eminent needs money it will raise it
by issuing currency against its i'm
perishable natural wealth. Other
countries, seeing our success, will do
likewise. The function of the money
seller will have disappeared"
What would be the attitude of
other countries about accepting this
money based on Muscle Shoals?"
There need be no difficulty about
that. Some of our currency even to-
day is not acceptable to foreign coun-
tries in payment iof debts. Gold is
the international basis. Muscle
Shoals is a national, not an Internal
ional matter. This money would on
