Issue Course
in Study for
\ ScOutmaSterS

The department of education of
the Boy Scouts Of America has is
sued Il home study course for those
who would be scout masters. The
course consists of twelve assign
mcntS or lessons, beginning with es
sential factors and dealing with
such other subjects rs - How scout
ing works, Boys and boy lead
ers. "Organization--Troop and
Patrol, Scoutcraft, : "Pro-
grams and Activities, "Meet-
ings, Hikes and Camps, Ply
steal Welfare and Special Events. y
progress into Citizenship, RE
lationships, " Scouting and the
Community.
1t is repeatedly stated that the
most difficult part of the Boy
Scout program IL to secure the pro-
per leadership. Here in Imperial
county, there are scores of boys
who would gladly become scouts,
it is said, if men for leadership
could be secured. Life in this new
country is full to the brim for most
men and women, and those who
would otherwise be perfectly quail
fled for the position of scoutmaster
plead duty to other things.
While the course of study pre-
pared by the department of educa-
tion does not in the least minimize
the responsibility of II scoutmaster,
it emphatieally declares that no
scoutmaster needs to neglect him
self, his home, his church, his bust
ness or his social life in order to
be successful as Il scoutmaster.
Troops are being organized all
over the valley, sponsored by
schools, churches, fraternal orga-
nizations, the American Legion, etc.
But were leaders available, many
more troops could be started, it is
stated by 5. l.. McCrory, scout exc,
cutive.

HALLOWELLS GIVE
PLEASING SHOW

The entertainment and dance
given by the Hallowell Company
Wednesday evening at Standard Hal
under the auspices of Gilmore Post
American Legion, was very fine.
Every member of this organization
was an artist, the harpist being espe-
eially good. Mr.. Wentzells excel
lent singing was also big feature
Of the evening.
The dance which followed the en-
lertainment was quite well attended
and the dancers enjoyed the excel
lent music furnished.
While the attendance at the mus
ical entertainment and dance was
fair, the expenses of bringing the
company here did not leave the Lee
gion boys much to show for their
laudable efforts to give Mountain
Home some really good music. The
financial statement shows:
Receipts from CONCEPT, S132.1O;
lance. $500; total, $2I3.1O. Ex-
oenses: Concert company, $4,000;
hall rent, $4,000; advertising, $S.25;
total, $17S.25. This left in the fund

ing willing to pay for what it wants
appears from the statistics of imports
during the first month of the new
tariffs operation, when they showed
value higher than that of any
month since November, 1920.
The building boom, notwithstand-
ing hugely increased construction
costs, continues on it's way-another
proof of national adjustment to high
er living costs, for the unexpected
reduction of rents has not material
lied. Instead, rents paid by working
people during the lateer half of 1922
were 1 per cent higher than ever.
Retailers, therefore, should regard
themselves as buying now on a mar
ket that is rising both in price and
volume of saleable merchandise.

Starting this next week the Wea-
yer Theatre will have dandy new
feature for its patrons. This is the
famous "Our Gang" comedies, and
the first one will be "a Quiet Street.
ion Tuesday and Wednesday of next
week. These comedies are admitted
to be in a class by themselves, and
| Manager Hendricks feels good over
being able to secure them.
AS a matter of fact, next weeks
program at the Weaver is of unusual
ly high class. On Friday evening,
Feb. 8, Priscilla Dean, the inimita-
BILE Priscilla, will be seen in the great
super-special, Under Two Flags. !"
You must not miss it, "The Rub
berneck," tickling comedy, is also
on the program.
Saturday, Feb. 10, William Dun
can, the great star, will be seen in
that wonderful play, mo Defense,
which was such wonderful novel.
1t is no less a success III the screen
version. Also Pathe News and al
good comedy.
Remember Pearl White, the great
serial star? Course you do. Well, |
Pearl will be shown Sunday, Feb. IL,
in that great production, "A Virgin
Paradise" Now many of you might
say pessimistically, "There amt no
such animal" but, nevertheless, this
is a great picture. The comedy, THE
Flivver," and scenic, High and
Fancy Diving" which is a wonder
full film, will also be exhibited
Tuesday and Wednesday sweet
Betty Gompson will be shown in
1.-The Bonded Woman" Here is a

"Our Gang" but we are going to find
out about it.
Thursday and Friday Reginald
Denny, who has been such success
in 'The Leather Pushers," will star
in 1.-The Kentucky Derby" the great
est turf picture ever filmed. Regi-
Maid is just as good in this as he has
been in the great fight picture, and
that is plenty good enough. The
Baby Peggy comedy. Peggy, Be
Good, is also on the bill.

THE IDAHO ENGINE NEEDS
MORE STEAM
BY Guy Flenner

When coal is left smouldering in
the furnace its fuel value is lost to
great extent. 1t goes up in smoke
When the auto discharges a lot OF
black smoke the engine is not get
ting the fullest efficiency possible
from the gas.
Idaho has chucked a lot of coal
into the furnace and left it smoul=
dering without producing results
while the fireman slept. The ma
chine of state today is letting lots of
its gasoline go to waste while the en-
CINE backfres over nonessentials.
Idaho needs steam and power 1t
ought to use all the fuel.
The other day in the state senate
one of the members, Senator Crooks,
in a few words emphasized one of
the reasons the draft was not draw
ing, the pressure low and the car
slowly moving and that was the
persistent and pestiferous efforts to
harass all lines of business. He said
it was mighty poor time, with the
skies beginning to clear. to send
clouds sweeping around any Idaho
business.
Why any man interested in the
future of his state, or, to put it self
ishly, in his own future as a citizen
of Idaho sbou1d ~ 90 sbortsiorl 81
as to place stumbling blocks in the
pathway of our own Industrial ana
commercial progress is a situation
that is baffling to the inquiring
mind
If any man cannot rise above the
petty thoughts that beset his brain
to assist our industries, he might at
least have the good taste to get back |
among the huskings of depression
and adversely and restrain himself
from injuring them-for his own
sake if he is not big enough to look
higher.
Right today there is the most
pressing need for the extension of
all reasonable aid to our agriculture,
10 our timber, our mining, our live
stock interests, to our public utili-
lies and to every banking and mer-
'antile institution. They-the vi
ais of Idaho-need all the fuel they
,an get. Let's not waste it on carp
ng and obstruction and destruction.

BUYING ON A RISING MARKET

regular communication sent out
ly the large wholesale firm of AL
fred Fantl to their large clientele in
he United States (among which the
Golden Rule Stores are numbered)
has the following to say in regard
to the general outlook:
The CONSPICUOUS feature of the
week has been the arrival of buyers
in the New York market in numbers
unprecedented for the third week
Of the year, and their shrewd in
sistence on assuring themselves of
delivery in quantities of desirable

The convention of the National
held in New York this week, served
to emphasize the favorable forecasts
Of 1928 trade. The wholesalers,
having disposed of their various
stocks to eager customers for Spring
delivery, felt assured of full consum-
er demand at normal prices and
count on resumption of normal trade
volume without any fresh interrupt
ton. Their confidence affords one
of the best arguments for confidence
on the part of prosperous conditions
enjoyed by the consumer.

I had to pay $1.50 or more an ounce
for silver if Congress had not fixed
the price at 81 an ounce. For sew
eral months more this price will pre-
yail-until the United States re-
places silver sold to the allies and
discontinues purchasing.
But for that act of our govern
ment, he said, silver miners would
have enjoyed a much higher price.
The speaker gave the average price
OF silver for II years up to 1917 in
elusive as 1895 cents an ounce.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1922, the silver coin in circulation
amounted to $652,SS5,29O, and the
cost of silver to the government had
been so low it gave a seignorage, or
profit, in favor of the government of
$S42.632,754.
Senator Callahan said there was
nothing unreasonable in the request
of the silver producers, as outlined
in the memorial, and that without
remedial legislation they could not
continue to produce their metal at
a profit.
"The metal producer, like the
farmer, must take what he can get
after he has taken all the chances
and run all the risks incident to
metal production, the most precari-
Gus business in the world" he con-
cluded.
