Ten Dollars Buys
Food Remittance
Red Cross Aiding In Attempt to Save
Russians From Famine-Mrs. Myers
In Charge In Power County.

The American Red Cross, through
its chapter at American Falls, Mrs. M.
M. Myers, officer in charge of Russian
Relief, will be glad to receive remit
tances in multiple's of ten dollars for
food relief in famine and disease
stricken Russia. A food remittance
should be forwarded with a blank
furnished by the Red Cross, to the
American Relief Administration. The
blank accompanying the remittance
contains the names of the people in
Russia for whom the remittance is
made. Should no persons be named
the food will be used for general re-
lief.
The Red Cross is very anxious to CO.
operate with persons in the county de-
sirous of extending this help. Ex-
tracts from the relief Association bull
letins furnished by Mrs. Myers are as
follows:

A plea for aid from the Russian,
condemnation of the Bolshevists and
their Jew leaders, faith in the slow ev-
olution of Russia to her former place
among the nations, and a warning
against the non-partizan league, were
among the things touched upon by
Professor Gloeckler, late Russian re-
fugee, in an interview with represen-
tative of the Press. Professor Gloeck-
ler spoke last Wednesday evening at
the Methodist Church and Thursday
at the Lutheran Church in Prosperity.
There is estimated to be, within a
radius of twenty miles of American
Falls, 100 families who have near re-
latives in the famine area of southern
Russia. So the story of Proessor
Gloeckler, refugee from the home
land of many of these families, has
particular Significance. 1t is not
strange that they are ralIying earnest
ly to the relief of their friends and re-
latives. Indeed it has been only with
in the last few months that they have
had such an opportunity.

There has been only meagre reports
from southern Russia since that time
regarding the friends and relatives OF
the Russian German people in this
country. Then it is not strange that
they should be touched by the story OF
i Professor Gloeckler.
Gloeckler is pure blood Russian
for four generations back. He is the

warning that the Reds were
coming for me and barely escaped with
my life by way of Germany"
Russia is in the control of the Jews
who have assumed Russian names, ac-
cording to Gloeckler. They are capi-
talizing the misery and deprivation OF
the peasants who labor on their farms
without reward. The original COM
munistic policy of appropriating every
thing in the way of produce and man
ufactured to the state has practically
been abandoned he said. In it's place
has grown up percentage plan where
by only centain percent of what the
farmer raises goes to the state. Nat
urally the old plan caused the farmer
to raise only enough to support him
self and family. Professor Gloeckler
stated his belief that economic Rus
sia would soon revert entirely to the
capitalistic regime of former days and
that the next great step forward is to
loosen the hold of the Jews
Jews Condemned.
AS an example of Jewish control
he stated that practically every. Cath
olic church and every protestant place
of worship had been destroyed, where
as he had no knowledge of the des-
truction of a single Jewish Synagogue
or the killing of a single Jewish priest
in all Russia. The Bolshevists he stat
ed are all atheists and have no church.
They had taken charge of all schools
and were teaching their doctrine to
children with little attempt to convert
older people to their policies. 81 While
| the majority of the Bolshevists are
! Russian, 80 percent of their leaders
are Jews, he said.
I A warning against the Non-partizan
league in America was issued by Pro-
fessor Gloeckler who said that he had
encountered it in several places in the
middle west. In one community he
was supposed to be a representative
of the Bolshevists, and the communists
of the community welcomed him as q
| comrade and expected to hear him
Ipreach Bolshevism. Much to their sur

HOWARD SUPPORTS
AM. FALLSPROJECT
States In Letter To Senator Fisher
That Every Farmers Organization
In United States Is Behind FT0-
posed Construction.

The American Falls project is one
of the three great conservative meas
ures pending in the United States at
the present time, and the American
Farm Bureau Federation will give it
every assistance possible according to
j. r. Howard, president of the Fedora
ton as stated in a letter to Senator
j. t. Fisher, of American Falls, Tues
day.
The support of the American Farm
Bureau Federation means that prac-
tically every farm organization in the
United States is boosting for the local
project. Mr.. Howard speaks for prac-
tically every farmer in the United
States when he guarantees support and
his statement is particularly appre-
ciated at this time.
Mr. Howard's letter follows:
My Dear Senator:
There are three gerat conserva-
tion measures pending in the United
States at this time which, it seems to
me, are of the utmost Importance in
our national development. One OF
them is your American Falls project
and want to assure you that the
American Farm Bureau Federation
will give this all the assistance it can
The other two projects which have
in mind are: First, the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence Tidewater project, which
will bring ocean shipping and marine
rates to all inland lake ports, relieving
our transportation problems materially
even as far west as Idaho, and at the
same time developing sufficient elec
trical energy to replace 30,000,000 tom
of coal annually; second, 1 have il
mind the Muscle Shoals development
of the Tennessee River which will de
velop 100000 horse power electric
current and through barge navigation
unlock the great iron and coal deposit
of the eastern Tennessee mountains
If we can be of material assistance il
getting these three great projects over
we will be very happy indeed.

ALFRED FOUGHT
WHILE CRIPPLED
DisIOcated Shoulder During First
Round of Bout With Davis But Re-
manned Throughout the Fight-G
Draw.

A dislocated shoulder was not a no.
ticeable handicap to, Roland Alfred
Wednesday night at the Auditorium
smoker when he and Willard Davis
mixed for three vicious rounds in the
squared circle before large crowd of
fans. Alfred, fortunately perhaps for
his opponent, missed his mark with
the blow that dislocated his shoulder
1t sagged in the middel of the first
round. At the time 1t was not noticed
by the ringside spectators, though Al
red lost control of himself for few
moments and was the recipient of a
smashing attack by Davis.
Alfred came up for the second round
IN fine style and fought evenly with
Davis. He got to the latters wind sew
eral times with damaging blows, The
third round was even and the decision
was a draw. 1t is rumored that there
is bad blood between the boys and
their scrap indicated desire to make
the bout of more than passing interest.
Allreds exhibition with the dislocat-
ed shoulder was unusual in the ex-
treme.

The final bout of the evening was be.
tween Coach Gibson of the High Schoo

COUNTY BOARD ABSOLVED
Was Not To Blame For Discrepancies
OF Waatermaster Who Made IncOr-
rect Report Warrants WIN Be Is
sued All Who 0yerpaid.

The water charges against the Rock
land users will be apportioned accord
ing to revised report of the water
master and credit given those users
who have been oyertaxed. Those who
failed to pay their full share under
the new apportionment will be charg-
ed on the county records, according to
the conclusions reached at a joint
meeting of the committee represent
ing the waterusers and the County
Commissioners Monday at the court
house.
Three or four hours were required
to thresh out the differences and mis-
understanding that had resulted from
the reports sent in by the watermas-
ter of the district The waterusers
felt that someone was to blame for
the gross mistakes made in the tax
levies against the various waterusers.
They were advised to take the matter
up with their water master, then with
the state engineer then with the state
department of reclamation and next
with the County Commissioners. In
every case the buck was passed and re-
passed until the wateruseres felt a
showdown to be necessary. Final
blame was laid to the county officials,
chiefly the commissioners and clerk
who had made the apportionments
and allowed the charges. The water
users reached the conclusion that they
would first interview the commission
ers and if their doubts were justified
they fould employ counsel and sue the
county.
Met Commissioners Monday.
The committee consisting of Ed. FL
field, Andrew May Eph. Josephsor
and Ed Hunter, Jr. met with the com.
missiOners Monday morning and start
ed their case. They had to be showI
why the county officials were not tc
blame in making erroneous charges
against the waterusers which in some
cases meant a difference of thirty tG
fifty dollars in taxes.
Matters were gone into in detail
The law was read, citing the Commits
sioners duties in the matter. 1t wai
found that the commissioners are re
Quired to order warrants to be drawn
for vouchers presented and sworn tt
by the watermaster who happened u
be Isaac Thorne. The law furthel
stipulates that the costs must be pro

1t was found that the water master, II
