The protestants charge that the Ford
plan is part of "the most indisideous
propaganda that the nation has wit
messed for many day." They con-
tend the plant has cost the govern
ment $85,4S7,9 800. and that it is pro-
posed to sell it to Ford for less than
$5,00O,000. They contend the contract
does not enforce the manufacture of
fertilizer by Ford, and that this fer
tilizer propaganda has been spread
to gain the backing of the farmer.
Further, they sneer at the plea to la
Dor in stories Of the possible employ
ment for million men. The chief
cause Of objection rs, however, that
Mr.. Fora does not agree to make
fertilizers at all unless he can make
them at a profit to himself" This is

TO THE VOTERS or
BINGHAM COUNTY

I desire to announce my candidacy
for the position of County Clerk and
Recorder on the Republican ticket,
subject to the will of the voters at
the primary election ON August 1st.
My experience of the past has been
such that the work of the County
Clerk is not new to me, and II elected
to that position, can pledge the peo-
pie of Bingham County, proper care
and attention in the duties of that
office. The major part of my life has
been spent on the farm, where am
now living. / have served enc term
as County Clerk in another county,
and published newspaper for seven
years. / am convinced that through
the adoption of more. modern methods
much can be saved in the administra-
ton of county affairs, and If success
full at the elections snis year, expect
to do all in my power to adopt them.

EASY TO TRACE EVOLUTION
Probably That Of the Horse 10 the
Most Perfect Of Which There
Is Evidence.

There is on record no more perfect
example of evolution than the horse.
Under the able direction of Prof.
Henry Fairfield Osborn, the tlistin-
guished president Of the American
Museum OF Natural History, the great
est collection of fossil horses in the
world has been brought together in
the museum. We have 80 detailed q
record that the complete evolution Of
the horse, from the tiny, five-toed, for
est-living, cretaceous ancestor, to Man
O. War, the most perfect living horse,
is there for all to trace, writes Roy
Chapman Andrews, in Asia Magazine.
The horse, we know, originated in
Wyoming and adjacent parts Of the
West At first he was shy, retiring
creature, no larger than terrier, with
five toes on feet adapted to the soft,
springy ground Of the forests. As the
wooded area began to decrease in ex-
tent, the horse perforce changed his
habits becoming more and more a
plains-living animal dependent upon
speed to protect him from enemies.
Since his nve-toed feet were not adapt
ed for swift running on hard ground,
the middle toe gradually developed the
hOOf, and the side digits disappeared,
except for the so-called "splint-bones''
in horses as we know them today. The
causes that forced the evolution Of the
horse are In certain respects similar
to those that we see effective in hu-
man evolution.
Many theories concerning the evolu-
ton Of man have been advanced by
eminent scientists. That proposed by
the late Prof. Joseph Darrell of Yale
university has much to give it support.
Professor Darrell believed that, az
the forests decreased and the an
thropOid apes could no longer retreat
southwark because Of the great barrier
Of the Himalaya mountains, they were
forced to adapt themselves to life
upon the ground. Whether or not they
did this from necessity or choice, 1t
seems almost sure that the progenitor
OF man was ground ape'-a crea-
ture living on nuts and roots and,
when in danger, running to the trees
for safety. AS he gradually lost the
shelter of the forest, he had to ac-
quire the means Of protecting himself
and Of combating the enemies of the
ground. This led to communal life,
hands with an opposed thumb with
which to grip sticks and stones to be
used in defense. an erect posture and
foot adapted to swift and sustained

TRICKS USED By JUcGLERs
Easy by the Use Of Specially
Devised Apparatus.

Not all the tricks you see performed
by professional jugglers on the music
hall stage are genuine, says q writer
in London paper.
Take, for instance, the familiar one
which consists of rolling 4 ball back
ward and forward along q round,
smooth walking-stick.
Apparently this is a marvellous feat
OF balancing, but really 1t is quite
simple. The stick, q professional
PROP" is slightly grooved, SO that
the ball will not fall of. Needless to
say, the stick is held so that the
groove is invisible to the audience.
Sometimes an umbrella" is substi-
tuted for q stick. But it is not the
real thing. 1t is an imitation umbrel-
la made Of wood and grooved like the
stick. Two kinds of these fake UNI.
brellas are used by jugglers-one for
ball rolling, the other, more deeply
grooved, for balancing the brim of a
top hat.
Another balancing feat that often
excites wonder and amazement is that
which consists in keeping two billiard
balls placed one above the other on
the top Of billiard cue. This feat,
it may be said at once, cannot be done
without resort to trickery. 1t never
has been done. and it may safely be
asserted that it never will be done
with genuine billiard balls and cue.
Most jugglers use imitation billiard
balls for this trick. These are made
Of lockwood and enameled so as to look
exactly like the genuine article. But
when they are being made they are
either slightly flattened OF else weight
ed in such way that they almost bal
ance themselves. II real billiard balls
are used. as they are sometimes-they
are "doctored" in a similar way.
Bottles for balancing on the edge Of
a plate are made of wood, grooved,a
and weighted at the bottom. The In
dian clubs used by jugglers are spe-
cially made Of very light wood, and
hollow at that Even the lighted can
dies with which they play all sorts Of
tricks are not really candles.
OF course, this does not mean that
there is no skill ShOwn in juggling,
even after making all allowances for
faxed props" In fact some tricks,
such as 'cascading' or "showering' a
number of balls in the air, or perform
ing a similar feat with plates, cannot
be faxed at ALL

can be recalled Mr.. Woodin said:
