FIRST PRESBYTERIAN

1t is expected that Rev. c. w. Luck
of>Weiser, who pleased the congre-
cation so we'll last week, will preach
for us again next Sunday morning at
IL o'clock. There will be no evening
services. Don't forget the Sunday
school at 10 a. m. The Christian En-
deavor societies are planning for an
outdoor meeting at Canyon station,
and will leave the city on the $50 car.
The subject is appropriate, being les
sons from Gods great out of doors.
This will be for both the senior and
intermediate societies and it is hoped
that DIR. Boone will be home by that
time and address the gathering. Sun
day, August u, will be Missionary
Day at the church and many in and
out of the church will be pleased to
know that Miss Alice Reed. at one
time a teacher in the local high school
and later missionary in China, will
speak, probably in costume. Miss
Reed was a member of the Presby-
terian Guild while here and has host
of interested friends.

YOUNG CARIBOU BULLS MAY
IMPROVE REINDEER HERDS

The possibility of improving the
grade and weight of the reindeer in
Alaskan herds by crossing them with
caribou is being considered by the
Biological Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. A recon-
Nuisance has been made in Mount
Mckinley National Park to determine
the best locality for captuding later
in the season supply of young Carl
bou bulls to be used in the breeding
experiments.
The average dressed weight of sew
eral thousand reindeer carcasses ship
ped from Alaska was about $50 pounds
each. In certain parts of Alaska, in
Guiding Mount Mckinley National
Park, there, is form of native carl
bou the bulls of which are reported
to attain maximum dressed weights
approximating 400 pounds, and it is
claimed that some are even heavier.
Relationship is very close between our
native caribou and the Alaskan rein
deer, which are descended from stock
from Siberia. 1t is believed,
therefore, that crossing the two will
result in greatly improving the grade
of the reindeer, perhaps doubling their
weight

MAIL ORDERS BOOM

Sales totals of the great mail orders
houses show an enormous increase,
particularly in strictly farming sec
tons. This is not pleasant news for
retail stores in the average small town,
but it is what they may expect.
There is only one way in which the
insidious mail order campaigns can
be combatted, and is by local mer-
chants frankly explaining their mer-
chandising possibilities to the people
through advertising 1t is a we'll
known fact that the big mail order
concersn maintain departments of con-
siderable magnitude to check up the
towns where the local merchants ap-
pear to lack enterprise. There con-
centrate their batteries of advertising
and catalogue distribution.
The mail order house never prospers

Coal and Water

Although the Federal water power
act is about two years old, the expect
ed water power boom it still mostly
on paper The visitor to the great
plants at Niagara Falls will find
genuine under standing to the future
possibilities of water power.
The present effective radius of dis
tribution of power from Niagara Falls
is about 200 miles. The highest volt
age used in the existing system is no.
600 volts. Manufacturers now state
that they are prepared to guarantee
equipment that will carry 100000 volts.
Distribution possibilities are governed
solely by that the laymen will under
stand easiest as the amount of Juice"
that can be put back of the distribut-
ing plan. And 100000 volts, the man
ufacturers explain, is sufficient to put
Chicago and New York City in the
power zone of Niagara Falls. So
much for direct power distributed. Blu,
there another proved feature in dis
tributing power A number of South
ern power companies demonstrated it
last winter. There was drought in
North Carolina and the textile mills
were about to close down for lack OF
power The Alabama Power Company
transmitted power to the Central
Georgia Power Company. That COM
pany tied-in with Columbus and the
process was repeated farther away
through four or five additional units
until the North Carolina point owe,
a thousand miles distant was reached
and supplied with the needed "juice.
The developments in the transmits

ara Falls and in the southern states
shows that the waterpower resource

advertise consistently, because the
mail order men know they cannot
compete with the local store if the
merchant understands his business.
The cheapness with which the big
mail order man can buy is more than
offset by the low overhead the local
merchant can get along with. To hold
his own, however, the local merchant
must not hide his light under bushel.
The public needs educating to a
knowledge that they can buy at home
as cheaply, that they can actually see
what they are buying before they pay
for it, and that they do not have to
wait sometimes weeks for the delivery
of the article they want.
The National Coax and Suit COM
pany' reports heavy increase in its
business, all the country, though it
is doubtful if this great concern car
ries anything like the line of up-to-daie
goods carried by local stores through
out the country.
When the merchants get ready to
talk plainly to the people they will
have nothing to fear from the mail
order man, but if they remain silenr,
then the outsider will surely burrow
his way into their profits.
Self-satisfaction has spelled many a
bankruptcy.

Illus Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
Southern Pacific railway board, de-
clared today in concluding his testi-
mony in the senate interstate COM

Beginning with the Adamson law.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said the labor costs
of class l roads had been increased
by s2,230, 900 by 1920 or al
most equal TO the total of operating
expenses of the roads in 1916.
THE baneful effects OF govern

strenuous efforts to correct them,

ecutives acknowledged that increas-

SIZE OF FARM
BILL BOOSTED
ANNUAL SUPPLY MEASURE Is
PASSED WITH PROVISION FOR
FREE SEEDS INCLUDED.

Washington, April 15.-Another
of the annual supply bills, the agri-
cultural appropriation, was passed
by the senate late yesterday after it
had reversed itself and restored the
free seeds item for another year. The
bill carries approximately $37 ,250,-
900 or about a million and a half
more than was passed by the house.
The item of s360,000 for the free
distribution of seeds was included in
the measure as it passed the house
and therefore will not be subject to
discussion when the bill is taken up
for adjustment of difficulties be-
tween the two houses.
The vote by which the appropria-
ton was stricken out was 20 to "a.
but on reconsideration was restored
by a 81 to 80 vote. The free seed
amendment of the appropriations
was the only one which
the senate did not accept. half
dozen amendments were offered by
several senators which served to in
crease the amount of money set
aside for the department of agricul-
ture.
Among the principal changes
made in the measure by the senate
were increases of 100000 to the
million dollar appropriation for agri-
cultural extension work through
farm agents and 100000 to the
100000 fund for eradication OF the
barberry bush, the wheat rust pest.
An addition of $4,000 was made
to the appropriation of $175.000 fos
fighting the white pine blister rust.

This notice has caused consider
able satisfaction among the farmers
and business men of this section, as
il is direct information that the COM
pany will continue to do business
here. instead of closing down all ac-
tiyities, as had been threatened ear
lier in the season.
1t is reported that the company has
contracted for nearly 1000 acres to
be planted to sugar beets, and 1t Is
expected that much more will be
added to this as the planting season
advances. Beet labor, which has been

WATER HIGHEST
SINCE 1854
GREAT FLOODS PREVAIL In THE
MISSISSIPPI( OHIO AND MIS-
souri, BASINS.

Chicago, April 15.-- Following
five weeks of almost daily rains, the
rivers in the Mississippi, Ohio, and
Missouri basins were overflowing to-
day, causing millions of dollars pro-
perty damage and intense suffering.
Hundreds have been driven from
their homes. The heaviest losses
will be suffered by farmers through
the drowning of livestock and in
ability to get into their fields pre-
pared for crops due to unreasonable
cold, rainy weather. The damage
was most severe along the Illinois
river, where levees have given way,
flooding thousands of acres of land.
Beardstown, ILL.,, whose 5000 popu-
lation is accustomed to floods, has
experienced the greatest high water
loss In its history. The levee pro-
tecting east Peoria also is threaten
ed. Water is the highest there since
1874. Lowlands throughout the up
per Mississippi valley are flooded.
Many homes are accessible only by
boat at scores of cities. Floods were
reported at La Crosse, and Winona.
Lowlands along Indiana rivers are
flooded, with heavy loss TO livestock
and winter wheat. Guards have
been stationed along Wisconsin riv-
ers running bankfull Rains con
tinued in Illinois today.

CROP EXPERT PREDICTS PRO.
DUCTION 891 900 BUSHELS.

Sioux Falls, April 15.-In his cur
rent report concerning crop and 9TH
er farm matters in South Dakota, H.
o. Herbranson, field agent in South
Dakota of the bureau of crop esti-
mates, United States department of
agriculture, states that, assuming av-
erage abandonment of acreage and
average influences to affect the crop
until harvest, the condition of 90
per cent for winter wheat in South
Dakota on April /, 1922, forecasts a
production of about S91, 200 bushels,
the possible yield being IA bushels
on 5000 acres, 13 per cent amandon-
ment, compared with the 1921 pro-
duction of 1,050,000 bushels, and
the 1920 yield of 1,450.000 bushels.
The report places the winter rye
crop in South Dakota at "a per cent
condition on April i, justifying a
forecast of production of about A.
$4,000 bushels, as compared with
3 3,056, 600 bushels in 1921; 2,76S,0 900
bushels in 1872, and 4,108,000 bush
the crop came through the winter
in excellent condition in all counties
where grown.
1t is found that the number oi
breeding sows In South Dakota this
year was $4,000, as compared witt

900 April 1, 1920. This season, the
report states, shows an increase oi

with one year ago. On the other
hand, reports received by the croI
bureau indicate the littlers to bt
weaker of inactivity due to the Sc
we're winter and also to the heavy

UNION LEADERS
CLAIM $4,000
SECOND WEEK OF NINE TIEUP
UsHERED In WITH CLAIM or
MORE GAINS.

Indianapolis. Ind, April 15.-
With the end today of the second
week of the nationwide suspension
of work in the coal industry. interest
at union headquarters here was cen
tered in the; progress OF eniisting
more non-union workers III the walk
out. The total OF 6e5, ,000 idle min
ers claimed by the union showed a
gain of more than $4,000 during the
week and the opinion in union cir
cles was that the strike had not yet
reached its peak strength. Gains
scored in the Pennsylvania coke dis
tricts were the most significant de-
velopment from the union point OF
view while the only reverse seemed
the temporary injunctions affecting
two important West Virginia fields
which hampered the union activities.
In the latter fields, however, the un-
ion did not admit any loss of men.
plans also were being laid by coun-
sci for the union to contest the court
orders.
The support gained in the Penn
sylyania non-union fields has encour-
aged union officials to concentrate
much of it's work there, new organiz-
ers having been sent into the DIS
tricts. While the hope apparently
was TO gain complete shut down OF
the mines there no prediction oi
such success had yet been made Dy
union officials. Organizers In some
localities were said to be havins
trouble establishing contact with the
non-union workers, union officiais
asserting that meetings were diffi-
cult or impossible because of the
activities of mine guards.

quarters for the conduct of the sus-
pension came when President John
L. Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers went to his home in Springfield
