Army Strength Cut to 10000,

The house gave its approval We'd
nesday to a provision of the army
appropriation bill which would re-
quire the deduction by July of the
regular army enlisted strength of
115,000 men and then proceed to
enter upon a prolonged discussion
of whether congress should direct
the return to the United States OF
certain troops stationed in China,
Hawaii, the Panama canal zone
and on the Rhine. Secretary Weeks
already has ordered the withdrawal
of the troops from the Rhine.
The bill provides that before the
beginning of the coming fiscal year
approximately $500 troops stationed
in Hawaii, 1000 men on duty in. the
Canal zone and the entire force of
600 garrisoned in China, as well as
all but 500 men and officers in the
army of occupation in Germany
must be brought back to continental
United States.

Real indian Stories.

Believing that somewhere in the
complex of every genuine American
there turks an interest and even ad-
miration for the American abort
gines, The Republican has arranged
for a series of short articles which
are now being published under the
general heading, 'tStories OF Great
Indians written by Elmo Scott
Watson.
MIR. Watson Is student who likes
to delve among the possibilities OF
miniature history and biography
and. by such efforts as his numerous
incidents have been prepared In
popular form for dissemination and
preservation. His previous series,
Stories of Great Scouts" was re-
markably successful, corroborating
legend and tradition or bringing out
new information disproving popular
estimate of those old warehouses OF
the frontier.
Those who read the present series,
Stories of Great Indians" will be
we'll repaid, and children should be
encouraged to preserve the little ar
ticles in their scrap books.

spiritual conception of things are at
least drunk. But what to our dim
eyes might seem a Stain in Cod s
broad light might prove a scar won
on some hard fought field where you
or might faint and yield.
Great must have been ST. Patgick's
spiritual gifts and wonderful his
personality to have left the impress
sien he did on the Irish people, and
the love and veneration for him to-
day is more eloquent than any
words that | might say, But let me
In closing say peace be to thee dear
saint forever and for aye.

mists of the distant horizon a beauti-
full halo of light and in 1t written

Well done my good and faithful
servant, enter thee into the joys OF
thy Lord"

Homes for Disabled Men.

Further means Of Tehabilitating
disabled former service men by "set-
ting them up as farmers on federal
irrigable land Is provided In a bin
introduced Wednesday by Senator
Cameron, Republican. Arizona. The
measure provides for the Withdrawal
by the government Of 200 farm units
of five acres each and the selection
by the veterans bureau OF 200 men,
undergoing agricultural training, to
take over the project.
The land TO be reseryd for the for
mer service men Is In the Yuma
(Ariz0na) federal irrigation project.
Each man would be advanced $1,000
with which to sta.t operations and
the land and irrigation construction.
water rights and other fees would
be authorized In 40 years. During
the period of development, or until
contracts have been made by the bu-
reau with those who have demon
strated ability to handle a farm, the
bureau Is directed to house them in
temporary barracks on the project
site.
An appropriation of 100000 is
carried.

Spooks and Ghosts Abroad

Tuesday evening car load OF
oung folks went for JOY ride, and
out near the cemetery the car stall
led, and refused to be worried.
Some Of the girls and boys started
to walk back TO town. Suddenly
loud piercing screams were heard,
and ON going to the rescue the young
knight found two Of the girls stand
ing close to the cemetery fence
with their eyes closed and heads up
lifted to the heavens letting their
voice loose. All of the stories cIl
ghosts and haunted cemetery's mad
come to their minds and they had
closed their eyes to keep out any
probable ghost that might be walk
ing about.

BIG GOLD DREDGE
AT FEATHERVILLE
NEARLY complete

Lou Gillian, who has been en-
ployed by the South Park dredging
company at Featherville for the past
six months, came to Mountain Home
Wednesday to secure medical atten-
tion flor one of his hands, which he
had cut severely with an ak, sever
ing with an AK, severing one of the
arteries. DR.. Hamilton dressed the
wound In which he was Obliged to
take three stitches, and it will be
healed within a short time.
Mr.. Gillilan has been i'm charge
of the steam engineering plant used
in the construction of the giant
dredge being built at Featherville.
where work has been going forward
all winter, and he states that the
boat proper for the dredge is now
all finished and that the machinery
will be put in place as fast as 1t can
be moved from Mountain Home. The
actual dredging work will probably
be started by the first of June. He
was accompanied out by Mugs How
land, owner of the Bascom ranch,
trip which took nearly twenty-four
hours, there still being from two to.
four feet of sndw north of Dixie.

final DETAILS OF
BANK OPENING ARE
Being CARED FOR
Authority to Open Has
Been Received and Ex-
aminer is Doing Final
Book Work Before Turn
ing Over to New Stock
holders.

Authority from the comptroller
of the currency has been received
for the opening of the First Nation
al bank and the doors are now closed
while the necessary book work is
being done preparatory to the actual
opening. The doors will probably
be open for business within three
or -four days and the nightmarish
experience of town without bank
through which we have passed for
the past four months, will soon be
forgotten. 1t is stated by members
of the new board of directors that
the bank is solvent and that the
assets that have been kept ON the
books are worth 100 cents on the
dollar. New collateral has been Sc
cured for many of the loans that
were previously considered shaky
and that they are now good. With
the addition of 500, 900 new money,
the assessment against the former
stockholders, and the reduction of
the deposits by an equal amount by
the exchange for stock, the stock
of the First National bank should
be worth par on the day the doors
open for business, and there is no
reason to doubt that owners of the
stock will get full face value for
their holdings If they will but hold
them until legitimate buyer ap-
pears, or will get substantial divi-
dends If they keep the stock as a
permanent investment.

Farmers VS.. Horseless carriages.

A few years ago farmers tightened
their grasp on the lines Of their
teams and cast hostile glances at
passing automobiles. A few Of
them spilled tacks in the roads for
cars to run over. Most of them con-
tented themselves with cussing mo-
torists after getting their teams un-
der control or picking themselves up
out of the ditch.
But Mr.. Farmer has graduated
from that class, he is no longer hos
tile TO automobiles. He drives one
of his own, and he is death on the
culprit who throws nail or tack
onto the highway. Even his horse
declines to take fright or become
skittisb. Times have changed. SO
have we.

Wheat Growers Divided.

Expressions as to the future policy
of marketing crops produced by
members df the United States Grain
Growers, Inc, were expected at the
annual convention of that orgauiza-
tion late Wednesday. Convention
delegates predict that the pooling
policy will be an isue when new di-
rectors are elected. The present
board is reported to be almost equal
lily divided, half favoring complete
pooling and the other half favoring
continuation Of the present policy
which permits more indiHdualistic
handling of crops.

A Real Achievement.

The great accomplishment of the
arms conference is the agreement OF
the i've sea powers upon the limita-
tion of naval strength. This is
something definite and certain,
recognition of the interests of the
common people, brake upon mad
armament competition, step to-
ward the goal of world peace still
shining in the far distance. Voun-
tarily to destroy even few BATTLE
ships, voluntarily to agree to build
no more ever for short time-it is
a great triumph for common sense
and high ideals and may we'll lead
to greater things 1t may be sand
in a broad way that little has been
accomplished toward the permanent
settlement OF the far east questions.
And so the cynics say that the con-
ference has accomplished nothing OF
real importance. Japan being the
potential Prussia of the future. But,
despite the cynics, the pledge to de-
stroy engines of war and not to
build more for stated time is IN
itself a great achievement, an ac-
complishment to hearten the tax
payers of all lands and give hope to
those who or whose children must
bear the cruel brunt of war If war
comes again

MOUNTAIN HOME IS
LAW ABIDING and
ITS JAIL IS EMPTY

At the present time, and for the
first time in quite a while, there are
no star iboarders and roomlers at the
jail, And for the first winter in
some time. no robberies have been
committed, no stores have been brok-
en- into, during the winter, and of
course that is due to the protection
given us by the night watchman.
He Is In the habit OF telling the
drifters, who think this looks like
an easy town, to just move along, Its
the wrong stop. and they obey or

Youthful Adventure Seekers.

Sunday morning Bud Tye, Pete
Monsterio and Babe Green got the
camping fever, and after consul
tation decided If they could rustic a
conveyance of some sort that they
would take hike out into the
country. Each one appropriated a
horse piece and few pots and
pans. eggs and potatoes. and
charged forth into the country for
a'bout five miles, to the cave they
called 1t. 1t might be said with
truth, premedidated. that three more
chefs are to be given to the worlds
fast diminishing supply.

assessed to pay for this feature but
this years class decided at the be-
ginning of the school year that they
have been SO successful that they
would earn this money and they
hand for the purpose and they antic-
now have nearly enough funds on
ipate that the receipts tfrom this
effort will furnish them ample funds.

cast of characters:

Bond Market

BY GEORGE 4. HUGHES.

Wall Street, New York, Dec. g.
Heavy selling Of st. Paul issues
featured the bond market today.
Not only the more speculative Int
the underlying bonds Of this road
were in supply. The general mort
gage AIS, secured by first lien on
tho system except the Puget Sound
extension were pressed for sale at
u loss Of a point and a half. The
convertible 5s, the convertible AVS,
1.-The As of 1925 and the debenture As
all suffered losses. The source of
this selling could not be learned
r nor was there any reason apparent
in the news. In some quarters it
vas believed that the process was
the taking Of losses for income tax
purposes.
Bonds Of both the Seaboard Line
and the st. Louis San Francisco
also were weak and lower. Sea-
board Air Line IS dropped to 60.
The st. Louis, San Francisco ad-
justments went below "A and the
incomes sold down to 60. Erie prior
lien As also lost fractionally.
High grade railroad bonds were
fairly active and firm. Examples
were New York Central 5s, Bur-
lington IS and Northern Pacific Is.
On the other hand Norfolk & West
ern convertible IS. however, lost a
point. Kansas City Terminal As,
one OF the best of the terminal
bonds went up half a point. Great
!. Northern SIS and C. & o. convert
ible Is also made gains.

namely, economy, could be tackled

Working on Hessage.
Mr.. Harding is hard at work in
his study preparing his message,
and probably will not have it ready
before the end of the week. The
chances are he will read it to con-
gress just as soon as it is finished.
Meanwhile, the annual reports Of
the various members Of the cab
met are being released for publi-
cation and they give q good deal of
information on the state Of the
union, which 1t has been customary
for a president to touch upon in his
annual communication to congress.
Perhaps the most persistent ru-
NOR in connection with the delay Of
the presidents message il the story
that he purposely withheld It to
see what the progressive" bloc
would do in their conferences over
the last weekend. Mr.. Harding
knows that much of the strength Of
the blocs in congress comes from
rural states and he IL hard at work
on . plan Of agricultural credits
which he hopes will satisfy most
Of the discomfort.
In the meantime, the .proxres-
stve' bloc has taken advantage Of
the lull to get some publicity for
itself on two proposed constitution
al amendments which on their face
seem to strike ut two practices in
government which 1t is claimed
have outlived their usefulneas. II
has always been the habit Of ~pro-
g~ressives" to seem to be for those
things which give the people a
larger share In their own govern
ment.
The two suggested amendments
are Of. the let-the-people-rule vari-
ETY.. One would bring into ONCE on
