MAKES RECORD BY
EATING 50 Eggs
'sBELIEYE III OR N0T'.BUT YOUNG
MAN DOES HONOR no L0WLY
Boy, page Mr.. Ripley!


Mr.. Ripley, yes sir, did you ever
hear of a man eating thirty eggs
at one meal? Well,-"Believe it or
not"
But such was the astronomical
feat of one J. Arnold Cooley of Van
couver, B. c., an undergraduate at
the University of Idaho. The feat
was performed at the annual Easter
morning breakfast at the Beta Theta
Pi fraternity house. Close seconds to
Cooley and tied for second and third
honors came Arthur S. Guerin of Spo-
kane, and Thomas Bucklin of Idaho
Falls.
"Believe 1t or Not'-
Guerin assimilated % eggs and
Bucklin ate an equal number. BE
lieve it or not'-but the trio ate a
grand total of IA eggs. The eggs
were soft-boiled, fried and poached
Toast and coffee made up a part of
the. breakfast
started several years back at the Beta
Theta Pi house when the house mana
ger announced that on Easter morn
ing the boys could have all the eggs
they wanted to eat. Two years ago
Abe Goff of Walla Walla, center on
the Idaho varsity football team, caus-
ed no little admiration and perhaps
little envy by getting away with Is
eggs, one dozen and a half
Surpass All Records
Last year Thomas Bucklin of Idaho
Falls, with an eye to a new record
ate 18 products of the hen, thereby
equaling Goff's record. But yesterday
was the record breaker Lesser lights
were put out of the running and the
claim of "a dozen" was greeted with
mot in the running" as the egg
shells mounted up around the places
of Messrs. Cooley, Guerin and Buck
lin
Twenty-Five were enough for Buck
lin and Guerin. Bucklin, on account
of his previous showing last year, had
been counted sure winner but the
"dark-horse," J. Arnold Cooley, con-
tinued to stow away the eggs with ap-
parently little effort until he had
reached 27 Three more were slowed
under his belt and the record, ex-
pected to stand for some time, was
made.
Eat Chicken at Dinner
Most remarkable is the fact that
the three men ate hearty CHICKEN
dinners Sunday afternoon at o'clock.
The annual Easter breakfast contest
started at o'clock Sunday morning
and Cooley had cleaned up his last
egg shortly after 9 o'clock Contest
ants were allowed a limited amount
Of exercise, such as running around
the table twice.
Although all three suffered some
after the meal of eggs,
toast and coffee, there have been no
i'll effects. Cooley weighs 165 pounds
and Bucklin and Guerin each tip the
scales to slightly above the $50 pound
mark. The three are willing to eat
eggs again and may even become par
ticipants next year but it was probably
a subtle kindness on the part of the
house manager that no eggs were
served at breakfast this morning

port Inquiries from persons desir-

to the most productive soil, an excel

facilities In many cases eastern
people are becoming. interested
through relatives or friends who have
located In this district and who are
enthusiastic boosters now for the In

particular section. The feeling among
real estate men now is that there will
be great westward movement dur

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
A SCHEME THAT
WOULD SOLVE NOTHING
By DIR. FRANK CRANE
Tin Daily News.

In the minds of great many PEG
pie the idea still turks that some tim,
the government will take over the
coal mines or the railroads or both
and that somehow everything will
then be merry as a marriage bell.
The old belief in the government
totem fingers.
The stubborn and bony fact in the
case, however, is, as has been stated,
that government-any kind of gov
ernment-is impotent to do anything
much besides meddling and making
trouble.
Government can pass tariff laws,
1nffict passports, saddle bonus taxes
upon us and create ship subsidies.
In other words, it can tax, go in debt
and impede business.
In the history Of mankind lit never
did anything to help along business
except the business of a few graft
ers, OF a>feW privileged persons who
are in position to use the government
power.
When government takes over the
railroads it will find that it faces
precisely the same problems that are
now faced by railroad executives. II
will not be able to make men work if
they don't want to-
Any government that would compel
a man to labor against his will and
would enforce this compulsion with
a gun would not last two weeks.
Neither will the government be able
to make profits in any other way than
the present railroad managers are
making them, which is by giving
service to the people for which the
people pay.
In other words, a man will not be
any more content to work for 23
cent an hour for Uncle Sam than for
the G. B. & @. Railroad. And he
will quit work as quickly in the en-
ploy of the U. s. A. as he will in
the employ Of the Illinois Central.
All that will happen to the indus
trial situation will be a change Of
bosses.
And it will be change for the
worse
The reason of that is that the new
bosses will be appointed by somebody
in Washington, and there is nobody
in Washington that has sense enough
to run a railroad.
The people in Washington are
elected, and competent executives are
never elected. They are selected.
The present railroad executives
lid not get their jobs by making
speeches, handshaking and kissing
'abies. They got their jobs by hard {
york and making good. And if any a
me of them ceases to make good for i
period of a month or so he is taken |
ut. a
The kind of qualifications that en- {
BILE man to get a position at Wash 0
ngton are not at all the kind of quail
cations that enable a man to dis D
barge the duties of office. e
In short, under government con- Fl
rol, railroads would be run by poll g
icians, and it is as sure as guns iron s
hat they would be run into the O
round. Ii
The old laws of supply and de- fl
land, of make good or get out, of Ell
reduce and thrift, are the real laws G.
this country and every other coun- d,
y.
They are laws as hard as steel, as w
ugh as truth and as everlasting as G,
me- :,
All man-made laws are more or u
SIS scraps of paper. 90
