JAPAN BECOMES A
COMRADE IN CALAMITY

The greatest calamity of mod
ern times has fallen to Japan, an
the world is rising to aid and COM
fort her.
An earthquake, a general con-
fiagration, a tidal wave or a
typhoon by itself is an awful
calamity, but Japan has been
smitten with all four of these,
and sunken islands added. Be-
sides having all of these things at
once, she had them on a scale that
defies comprehension.
A great city and all the country
side whipped back and forth with
an earthquake, to turn buildings
into wreckage with people buried
in it, a thousand fires starting
simultaneously with the wreck
ing of the water mains, wind
storm rising that increases to a
furious gale, great wall of water
rolling in from far out to sea,
striking the shore and rolling far
inland, taking thousands of
houses with it, then reversing it's
course and rushing back to sea
with its victims and its wreckage,
these are some of the types of
violence that have overtaken
Japan, one after another as the
different acts are put on at a
theater.
Vessels in the harbors may be
toppled over and sunk or carried
far inland and blown to pieces by
the explosions resulting from the
mixing of fire and water and ex-
plosives. All means of communi-
cation and transportation were
wiped out and nearly all
foods and drinks and the sources
of foods and drinks blotted out
the sufferings of the injured, the
filth arising from the disturbance
Of sewers, sea waters, mud and
debris, the insane acts of the ter
rified plunging into all kinds of
difficulties in the efforts to escape,
the quick decay of bodies in the
summer heat-all these things in
tensify the horrors from day to
day.
When San Francisco had it's
quake it quickly became a seeth-
ing hell, but it was spared the
tidal wave and the storm. Before
the flames died down, the people
of the United States had thirty
two freight, trains running on ex-
press time towards the setting
sun, carrying doctors, nurses and |
supplies to the stricken, and
Japan cabaled 100000 for the
relief of the folks who were
figuratively shaking their fist at |
her and telling her to keep her
laborers out of this country.
A few days ago we put an army
of men at work destroying battle
ships and cruisers in San Fran
cisco harbor, carrying out our
agreement with Japan and other
nations agreeing to restrict naval |
While we are loading |
ships with relief supplies at ports |
in the Orient and the eastern
shorse of the Pacific to rush to |
the Japanese, our Pacific squad |
ron stationed temporarily at Port
Arthur moved promptly to the |
rescue and threw out a line of
ships to relay wireless messages
to connect with our Pacific cable
to tell the world what is needed
to staunch the flow of the life
blood of those constituting what
was only recently held up to us as
The menace of the east.

Following our report of the local stua-
ton as to the Idaho Potato Exchange
published in the last issue, number of
conferences were held in Blackfoot by men
who figure conspicuously in the affairs of
the Potato Exchange, with the result that
an open meeting of farmers and business
men was held at the Commercial club
rooms on Wednesday evening, differences
of views were discussed, misunderstand-
ings were ironed out, and at the close of
the meeting they were unanimous for the
organization.
In every instance where men had been
in doubt they found there was misunder-
standing of facts, and at the close of the
meeting, all were in favor of the organiza-
ton and agreed that with reasonable man.
agement it should succeed. Even such
men as Robert Granand who buys and
ships potatoes for the Dunbar-Hansen
company, who had taken neutral atti-
tude, sat in the meeting and heard the
sales plans explained, said he was now
satisfied with it and could conscientiously
advise growers to sign the contracts:
w. F. Bergman, cashier of the Stand
rod bank who had been quoted as being
in doubt about some features of the situa-
ton, found points of doubt cleared up in
conferences already held, he had been per-
mited to examine the Colorado contract
between the Exchange and Weyl-Zucker-
man, and he approved it, and declared
that he was for the Exchange He said
tho that when individuals asked him
whether they should sign or not, he would
continue to tell them as he has done in the
past about this and everything, that they
must act on their own Judgment. The
business of the exchange will be handled
by board of directors yet to be elected
by the growers, from among their mem
bership, and they in turn will select the
man or men to actually manage the bust
ness, and it must stand or fall on the
merits of its management, and no man
should be called upon to guarantee that
thing will succeed. All he can do with his

MENTAL
LAPSE IS RELIEVED

Walla Walla, Wash. = Time rolled
back five years for Joe Straghan. a
convict at the state penitentiary here
when he regained consciousness from
a skull operation and picked up the
thread Of his existence at Camp Ere
mont, California. in 1918. Straghan,
sent to the penitentiary from Spokane
on statutory charge several months
ago, wes operated on by prison physi-
clans 10 relieve epiIeptic seizures, to
which he had been subject. They dis
covered that a fragment of his skull
had become lodged in the brain cover
ing, causing a pressure.
Five years ago Straghan's skull was
fractured when hospital attendants
dropped him from q stretcher while
removing patients during a fire. When
he recovered consciousness after his
most recent operation his first words
were:
Il hope they won't punish the boys,
They didn't mean to drop me. Is the
fire out?"
He declared that the last five years
during which he had been convicted
and sent to the penitentiary, were an
absolute blank to him.
