COMBS CONTINUES TO
STAR WITH STICK

Earl Combs continues to star
with the Louisville American As
sociation team. Manager Nc
Carthy put him in the regular
lineup in Fridays game against
Milwaukee, and Combs distin-
guiShed himself by getting three
hits out Of three times up, a per-
feet average of 1000 for the day.
He is already leading his league
with the stick, this is going to
put him far out in front. Combs
also made three put-outs and had
no errors. The Louisville Times
has story about a bat being
named for Combs, which will be
of interest at home here:
When Earl Combs, the Rich
mond, Ky, lad, joined the Col
onels on their spring training trip
he was rather worried upon see
ing another rookie arrive with an
entire bag of bats. Upon inquir-
ing of Earl why the sorrow it was
learned that he feared he might
not have as a chance as the rest
of the newcomers on account of
not bringing his bat with him.
Yesterday, Earl was seen hurry
ing to the loca 1bat factory. There
was a smile or the lads face and
he stepped as though he could not
get there soon enough.
Earl was halted and asked
whittier he was bound. "To the
bat factory for my check" was
the answer. They have model
ed a bat for me and named it af-
ter me, just like the one for Babe
Ruth and Ty Cobb, and Pm going
to the factory to get my check. I
| guess you can find my rack at
the factory with my name over
it."
Combs is the premier swatter
| Of the Association. He is at
present leading the dobule A
swatters. Combs came to the
Colonels as green as grass, but he
learned in a hurry. He fell out
of his upper berth on the trip
South for the training season,
but he came back "wised up" to
all the tricks of the trade. And
now he leads the Association and
has bat named after him.

WHY NOPE?
By GUY FLENNER

The Mountain States Telephone
company has arranged to spend a
very large sum in betterments in
Idaho this year. The telephone COM
pany, aside from it's desire to give
present service, believes in Idaho's
future and is building and extending
and charging in harmony with its
belief.
The Oregon Short Line will this
year spend a large amount of money,
a couple of million or SO, in improve
ments, which will include more
double tracking around Glenns
Ferry and extension to certain
points in order to give additional
rail transportation to crops The
Oregon Short Line also has faith in
1daho's future and is making these
important improvements in line
with that faith.
The Idaho Power company, like
wise building it's business and Great
ing it's plants on Idaho's future, is
arranging for important extensions
and betterments.
Work may be started this year on
the great American Falls dam,
which will circulate a very large
amount Of money for labor and sup
plies. This development is up to the
sections Of Snake river valley that
desire supplemental water supply to
give them irrigation insurance as
against periodical and in some cases,
yearly shortage of water. Il
y A large wheat crop is promised
and the outlook for prices is most
favorable.
A heavy fruit crop is indicated
and the dairy and poultry business
is being extended rapidly and is be-
coming a steadily increasing source
of wealth.
Our great and most vital timber
ing has found demands that
justify operations on a considerable
scale. 'lta Bt
The essential livestock industry
is coming back strong and mining is
being prosecuted as not before in
years. .h'.a .
The financial skies are clearing
and people are getting out Of the rut
and setting their faces toward a
definite goal-placing themselves in
position to take the fullest possible
advantage Of the rapidly returning
good times.
What is there to NOPE about?
With the large amount of money to
be expended this year in the de-
velopments here noted, which means
quite an additional expenditure in
ramifid %endeavor, and with good
crop and industrial conditions,
Idaho will soon be not only back
where the state was before depres-
sion swept owe the country, but
ahead of conditions at that time.
Then we can invite Edward G.
Lowry to come out again and re-
write his story of Idaho, in full CON
fidence he will find absolutely no
peg upon which to hang a pessimis-
tic protrayal. ..
