Aggressiveness, Cooperation and the
Fraternal Spirit of That State Has
Won the Infatuation of the Editor
and His Daughter.
Pocatello, Idaho, April 2, 1928.

Pocatello, Idaho, April 2, 1928.
Editorial Correspondence.
I have spent considerable time IL
this western country and l want Il
tell the readers Of the Post about tn,
wonderful opportunities there are To-
good eastern settlers.
Pocatello is town Of about 18.00t
inhabitants, is a real railroad center
with mammouth car shops and the
center of the Oregon Short Line
Railroad, with lines running Soutl
to Salt Lake City, East to Granger
and Chicago, North to Yellowston,
National Park, and West to Portland
Oregon. The o. S. L. has monthly
pay roll here of $950,O0O per month
in this town alone.
To show the rapid growth Of this
place, 1t is only necessary to state
that the population in 1910 was 5000
and in 1920 it was $4,000 and Is now
$4,000. At all times of the year there
are at least 100 houses in course of
construction. In fact the growth of
the town Is so rapid that houses can
not be built fast enough to provide
homes for the people who are seek
ing and getting work. This too, Gre
ates money shortage, and good first
mortgages are for sale here all of tho
time at ten per cent interest.
There is plenty Of pep in this al
titude of 4463 feet above sea level
and this is on the highway to Yellow
stone park and the campers are al
ready beginning to travel through
here, though the park will not be OPP
en- for two months yet. In the sum-
mer time you can see auto license tags
from almost every state In the union
every day. Pocatello was laid out by
the United States government and
named for an Indian chief, and Is 1877
miles from the western entrance to
Yellowstone National park, the most
popular park in the United States.
You would think the weather would
be very cold here. I want to say that
we had milder weather here this WIN
ter than In Pennsylvania. All bur
five or six days since February 7th,
1 have driven my car out In the coun-
try on dry and dusty roads. There
were only two or three weeks Of very
cold weather since January first, and
while there Is snow now on the noun
tain tops we have not had any frees-
ing weather except about two weeks
since Febreuary first.
There is very little rainfall here
during the summer. The snowfall on
the mountains during the winter fs
turned into the streams. and impound-
ed into large dams and the water US
ed for irrigating purposes during The
summer. Land without water is not
much good; that is called dry farm
ing. But the government is good to
the people in all this western coun- |
try, because the government finances

overcane Natural Handicap.

Natural handicaps are no obstacle to
many people. A shining example is
that Of B. Jones Of Burlington, Mo-,
who, born without legs, has driven a
rural mail delivery route out Of that
town for over 20 years, and never
complained. Jones' route was stand
ard length of about % miles out of
Burlington, and since 1901, when he
was appointed, he has missed only four
days, and those because Of Illness
Exchange.

A peculiar situation arose in q
small eastern town when the jailef
and his wife. ~ well ~ the turnkey.
were taken Ill. A. there were SOW
sral prisoners in the jail, including one
awaiting trial on q charge Of murder.
It was important that some one be
found to replace tAs omcials imme-
diatsly. The sheriff fastened down
and found one Of his townsmen just
completing q sentence On an o. T. A.
conviction. The sheriff, who had
known the man for years, made the
best Of the situation By replacing this

of office and hiring him to attend to
the prisoners. The turnkey pro TEN.

until the recovery Of the officials.

Almost every member Of the family
likes homemade ice cream, but US
ually there are few volunteers who
wish to devote the time and energy re-
quired for freezing the mixture by the
usual cranking process. An ice cream
freezer has been developed which is
operated from the washing machine
motor, or, II preferred, a motor can be
supplied with the freezer.

Law Makes Parents Responsible.

Having no reformatory for young
offenders, the Bermuda government
has passed a law that makes the par
ents Of children under twelve liable
to punishment. In the first case under
the law a boy of nine, convicted Of
theft, went free, but his mother was
fined and sent to Jail for a month.
