great a curse as too little.
Already the Boise project is reach
ing the point where comprehensive
drainage system is an imperative need.
And we may as we'll face the fact
fairly and frankly. Only so soon as
we admit the need will W elend in
dividual efforts to solving this prob
lem.
Last October, 5000 acres were re-
garded as so seeped that the govern
ment is no longer assessing project
charges against it. Another 1900 &C
res is close to this point while some
authorities assert that fully Is per
cent of all the lands on the project
is beyond or near the danger line.
We already know only too we'll the
folly of postponing drainage work.
Thoroughly water logged land is most
difficult to make again productive
after drainage. Alkali is tenacious
stuff. Even the physical properties of
seeped soil are not amenable to easy
rcsusication to a productive point.
Wilder bench is a favored spot, a
district of unusually fertile and pro-
ductivc lands. In no better and no
worse situation than other sections
of the Boise project, the urgent need
for drainage in certain sections there
lonly serve to bring the necessity for
prompt action more acutely to atten'

The New Menace.

IN the east, robberies are committed
now by the simple expedient of sing
ling out a promising victim, killing
him and then stealing from the dead
body. Here the law once more finds
the development of crime just one
step in advance of its attempt to pre-
scribe order. No one remains to tell
what happened when this method is
pursued, no one can contribute even
an iota of evidence which might lead
to the apprehension of the criminals.
For the man who might talk is dead
and dead men tell no tales.
Gardner, with all his courage and
dare deviltry, never took human lite.
In the final show down when to do
so might have meant liberty, he did
not stoop to this last phase Of Grimm
atty. Yet in larger cities, cold blood
ed men are operating, who kill hrs'
and rob afterward. Not infrequently
the net proceeds of such a crime are
pitifully small when compared witt
the value of the life that was taken.
Here is the crime wave at its worst

Bootlegging
Sacramento Vine
When you use "Pompeiian Olive
Oip you are apt to be in close rela-
ton to the genius Nathan Musher,
who was once clothed in the glories
of the Philistine by its master word
painter, Ebert Hubbard, the First.
Musher is supposed to be the man
who first put the olive in olive oil.
But that isn't all that Musher has
done. Two or three years ago he
carried page advertisements day after
day in the Washington newspapers
concerning the rates of exchange tor
money in use between Spain and the
United States. At the time people
wondered whether Musher had gon,

The Presidents
New Years Reception

Democracy" had it's day under a
Republican administration when on
New Years President and Mrs. Hard
ing threw open the doors of the White
House to the public and shook hands
with thousands of their countrymen,
as they passed in line. This timehon-
ored custom was abandoned by form
err President Wilson, who always
shrank from personal contact with
great crowds of people. The White
House functions are always popular
in Washington, but the New Years
reception is the only one in which
everybody can join. A bright news
paper reporter in describing the receo-
ton at its close used the following
rather clever description: THE pres
idential hand is weary and languid to-
night from the cordial shakes of cabi-
net officers, supreme court justices
congressman, diplomats, Oldest In
habitants of the District of Columbi;
and just plain citizens, not to speal
of the extra WEAKNESS derived from
frequent twistings into the position
required by the fraternal grips of tn
Mystic Shrine, the Knights of Pvthias
the Loyal Order of Moose, the Wood
men of the World, and divers othe
orders charged with important an

tor might be called upon to explain
his outspoken interest in the reform. "
In the Fall of 1920 Musher engaged
in shipping Sacramento wine from
Spain, and he brought 10000 gallons
of it into the United States. This
wine had value of about $4,500000.
1t transpires that Musher engaged
Aaron Silverstone, the son of Jewish
rabbi in Washington, to go to the
Mediterranean port of Malaga, Spain,
where the wine was held and to re-
main long enough to obtain quasi-resi-
dence, and then to certify the wine as
a kosher product. 1t turns out now
that Silverstone was not a rabbi, but
his certificates sufficed. When the
wine was on the high seas Musher at

Facing the Future.

CALDWELL has every reason to be
optimistic for 1922. That the ex-
traordinary growth of the initiation
period was based on sound business
requirements needs no better evidence
that the continued operation of these
firms under today's troubulous times.
Despite the most remarkable residence
building period in Caldwelps history,
today there remains shortage of
houses, particularly the more desir-
able modern sort. Despit the adverse
conditions, building continues at a
satisfactory rate.
Caldwell banks are sound as
proved by the latest bank call. Cald-
we'll bankers believe they are ade-
quately supplied with funds to care
for next summers demand upon
banks during the crop movement pro-
gram.
Agriculture, of all industries, i:
most certainly on solid bottom
should be the first to recover. This
should be year of better prices fol
farm products.
What we need is confidence. Tha
this is, no idle admonition needs no bet
ter proof than the fact that during
tax paying time, no less than S1C0'
per day was paid in cash at the coun
ty treasurer's office. This money /
part of circulatory medium that, 10
lack of confidence, has been with
drawn from circulation. Hoarde
money is money without value, so ia

Of ali times, this is the poorest t.

Almost everybody likes sweet
corn and when the right seed is

FEEDING CATTLE FOR PROFIT
Market Requirements for Beef Ar
Much Higher Than in Former
Yeare-SkiIl Needed.

The feeding Of beef cattle for the
market has become a special line OF
work, which requires q high grade Of
skill through understanding Of the
feeding values Of different materials
used in the production Of beef, as
well as an appreciation Of the re-
quirements Of animal nutrition and
shrewd business ability. Without these
prerequisites the feeder Is doomed to
receive very small returns for his la
Dor. The market requirements for
beef at present are much higher than
In former years. 1t Is necessary, there
fore, In order to obtain prices which
will pay the feeder for his time and
outlay, to produce a herd Of cattle as
nearly uniform as possible In appear

finish and symmetrical development,
particularly in those parts which yield
high-priced cuts in which the profits
