This is in line with the nation

toes which has been under intensive
discussion in leading potato states
for the last three months, culminat-

new Maine Potato Growers Exchange.
The Maine Growers have chosen the
same sales organization to sell their
crop which Is already being used by
the cooperative potato organizations
of Colorado, New Jersey, and else

Standardization at the producing

satisfactorily by growing organiza-

years to work out a complete pro-

the country concentrated in one cen

in the course of a few years, may
accomplish big service to both pro-
Queer and consumer.

WINS WATER SUIT

| John R. FOulks reports that h,
has just won water suit that ha
been pending in the court since 1919
1t grew out of a water contrac
under the American Falls project be
ginning about the year 1906 an(
continuing down thru the years Of
construction and operation and main
tenance of that canal.
The settlers upon taking up land
under the Carey Act, under the Am
erican Falls project entered into an
agreement to buy water in the Am
erican Falls Canal and in that con-
tract to pay a maintenance charge
of twenty cents per acre foot for all
water that was used at the request
of the purchaser of the water. A
number of years after these con-
tracts were entered into the con-
struction company turned the canal
over to the settlers and they organ
lied the Aberdeen-Springfield Canal
Company which went on operating
the canal. They found it desirable
to assess the maintenance charges
against all water whether it was be-
ing used or not, there being consid-
cradle acreage under the canal Gull
tivated and no water actually used
on it althO the owner Of the land was
the owner of water and could get 1t
at any time by making request for It.
In the year 1913 a measure was
enacted in the legislature giving the
canal companies the authority to as
sess maintenance charges against the
water and create a lien against the
land upon which it was to be used.
Under this law the men who were
holding land for speculation would
have to pay the maintenance charged
against the water whether they used
collection of the maintenance charges
1t or not. Mr.. Foulks contested the
collection of the maintenance charges
FOR such times as the water was not
used claiming that right under the
clause which bound the settlers to
pay only for the water used at the
settlers request. He claimed that
hat clause was binding in the con-
;ract and If it were not binding then
none of the contract was effective. |
he contended that the law passed |
n 1918 could have no effect on a |
contract that was made in 1906. On
.hese grounds he resisted at |
empt of the canal company to col
ect the payment of the assessment
or the period during which hes did
lot use his water and in the third
'ear of the litigation they secured
against him for the amount
# his claim but he appealed the case
md after another year and half
Won the decision in the Supreme
,ourt of the State. Mr.. Foulks said
lie consulted number of lawyers be-
ore he could find one that was will
ng to take the case at all, but it was
inally handled by Otto McCutcheon
+ Idaho Falls.
There are thirty or forty other
ettlers holding similar contracts
nd affected by the same laws and
his is a test case showing all OF
hem what are their rights in the
natter Mr.. Foulks said he stood
lone in fighting this suit, not being
BILE to find any settlers who were
filing to enter into defense with
i'm and most of the lawyers de-
lined to take the case because they
lought he would lose.

BANDITS IN CHINA

The sixteen persons being held for
ransom by bandist in China, are still
in captivity and are under threats
of death if the money is not forth
coming The weak government of
China agreed to the demands, for
warded the money and were then
disappointed, because the bandits be-
came suspicious of the arrangements
and moved the captives to some other
place and made overtures for new
arrangements.
Banditry and rebellion are ram

A new road IL being built from
Ashton to the Old Faithful geysel
in the Yellowstone Park. The pres
ent route is 10 miles and the new
route will be 55 miles. The work
has been under consideration for Z
year or two an dis being actively
sponsored by the citizens of Ashton
"A delegation visited the several
towns down the line between Ash.
ton and Pocatello this week solicit
ing funds to combine with what Ash
ton and the park management and
the forestry department are supply
ing to push construction on this new
route into the park. The plans also
contemplate making a connecting
link from the grant highway which
comes up thru Wyoming, into Jack
son Hole and the Yellowstone high
way. At present there is no way
for the tourists to get thru from
Jackson Hole into the Snake river
valley except by going north to the
park or going south and over the
Victor Summit and either one Is q
long trip. There is road connect
ing the northern part Of Jackson
Hole with Ashton, the distance be-
ing forty-eight miles. but it is not
a suitable road for tourists to travel
and new route laid out forty-four
miles long with easy grades and
they plan to make 1t good road the
present season.

WORDS FROM
|, THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

AYO MAN ever lives to be as old
as he feels at twenty-one.
A regret for the mistakes Of
yesterday must not bind us to the
tasks Of today.
Authority can be conferred upon
you. but not wisdom. It has to be
earned.
A pessimist is man who in
every opportunity sees a difficulty
An optimist, one who in every
difficulty sees an opportunity.
Every player In the game OF life
holds winning hand at some
stage.
The mind OF man Is improved
by learning and reflection, and Is
led forward by the pleasurable
enjoyment Of the eye and ear.
In prosperity let us particularly
avoid pride, disdain and arrogance.
We must take care that our
appetites be obedient to reason.
It is reason and speech which
unite men to each other.
The first bond OF society IL the
marriage tie-the next our chill
dren.
Wisely do those admonish US
who forbid us to do anything of
which we may be In doubt.
whether it is right or wrong.
The man who 10 most influenced
by the desire OF glory is most
easily excited to- the commission
Of injustice.
Right cannot be where justice
Is not.
II you have money, employ 1t
in acts OF beneficence and liberal
ity.
OF little value is valor abroad
unless there be wise counsels at
home.
It is the character Of a brave
and resolute man not to be ruffled
by adversely.

SAYS MARRY
AT FORTY
IN ORTY-the ideal age for love!
Here's something to give
na1fSo RI the World

TN ORTY-the ideal age for love!
Here's something to give
pause to the world.
Unless you've accomplished forty
full years of life you just can't
know anything about loving or
being loved. What you've thought
to be the tender passion was
childish stuff!
SO, IL you're forty, forget your
badness or your crows feet and
prepare to settle down to some
thing really thrilling.
Science will indorse you! For
at q health show in Boston were
physicians. psychologists, social
service workers and organizers OF
the parenthood movement in con-
vention; a set OF rules for better
loving was offered the public.
And chief among them was the
advice to keep clear of affairs OF
the heart before the two-score.year
milestone Is safely passed.
Well, you've become subject to
rules covering about every action
Of our dves-public and private.
But DON'T believe these new
ones that seek to limit and direct
love are going to prove successful.
/ don't believe that even IL they
are taken up at Washington and
legislated into the laws of the
country will they do so much as
prevent one twenty-year-old heart
beat!
And I'm glad they won't.
What I'm wondering is whether
those doctors and mind-manipu-
latOrS and so on ever CHANGED to
stroll on a shady way under a
white moon, with youth beside
them and song In their hearts!
What IL 1t is illusion! It's the
sort that makes the world go
round! Forego it fifteen or twenty
years till experience has taken the
velvet out Of the breeze and the
dream out Of the future? No,
thank goodness, our youngsters
never will!
I've known a few who have.
They mistrusted Childish" affec-
ton and waited till they were
forty, or thereabout, to love and
marry.
And nearly every couple of
them found that they were indeed
out of the childish" stage-so
far out that it was quite impos-
sible to adjust two groups of thor
oughly settled viewpoints, habits,
methods Of life, each to the other.
II science really wants to do
something helpful for romantic
love it might find a. way to avoid
rat, and crusty temper.
Those are the real menaces to
sustained illusion.

! heit should be enough and some
times more than enough. In cold
and boisterous weather, when the
conditions outside are reversed. a
temperature Of 20 to rs degrees
may not be too high. But in no
circumstances should the artificial
room temperature be pushed
higher than 80 degrees. or 20 de-
grees below the natural tempera-
ture OF the blood. So high a tenn
perature as 80 degrees is admis-
sible only in special cases or for
limited periods.
A Fair Test.
II you want to test the ability
OF your internal furnace to sup

ways. You can go into a place
whose air temperature is say rs

Precipitation in the first case and

Imperfect ventilation, together

ancient cave-dwellers had bet
ter ventilation for their homes

retically. But often people are
too impatient to give them a fair
chance. A man having foolishly
overheated himself, foolishly wants
to be cooled instantly. So he
throws open window and sits
in the cold air current. With a.
little patience and self-control he
could cool himself safely, far
more agreeably and almost as
quickly.

But 1t doesn't lose as much heat
as open windows do. Besides, a
little. slumbering fire in a fire

ney, will excellently ventilate a
