CHEESE FACTORIES WILL
OPEN IN JULY. THOSE RUN
MING ARE VERY SUCCESSFUL

Mr.. C. A. Voigt reports that the
machinery for the Bingham county
cheese factories will arrive about
the first week in July, an dimmediate
steps will be taken to set up the
machinery and put the factories into
running order.
Mr.. voigt opened factory at
Grace Monday morning, which makes
a total of four factories now run
ming. The Idaho Falls factory has
grown so rapidly that they have
found it necessary to move to larger
quarters, and have moved into the
Idaho Wholesale Grocery building.
The Downey factory is running at
full capacity with 5000 pounds of
milk coming in daily, and the Nc
Cannon factory is getting $500
pounds daily.
The Idaho Falls factory paid 1870
for their butterfat last month after
deducting all running expenses of the
factory.

application.
Our markets are touched by a
/ variety of railroad systems. The
connecting lines can be reached, as
to rates, either through the inter
state commerce commission or thru
| the friendly action of the system
directly serving us, and it has al
ready taken steps in that direction,
according to reliable information.
1t must also be remembered that
the Interstate commerce commission
is limited in it's powers. 1t cannot
| depress rates to a point that would
diminish volume and thereby deny a
fair return. A fight for lower agri-
cultural rates would invite opposi-
/ tion of all other classes of shippers
who realize they might be called
upon to bear the difference. Such a
fight would be prolonged and costly.
Railroads connecting with lines that
directly serve us would naturally
fight for their own localities to the
last ditch.
Such fight may be forced upon
US, but because of the effort and
expense, if there is any other way
aside from appeal to the interstate
commerce commission at this time,
is it not the part of wisdom to adopt
it?
An outstanding reason Is that af-
ter such action Is started no con-
cession can be had from the car
.riers and no negotiations can be en-
tertained until that action is dis
posed of. -v II
1t is undoubted that the railroad
systems directly serving US are seek
ing adjustments SO they can lower
rates on farm products.
They hope to be able to do this
without mourning the risk of sub
jecting their whole revenue base to
through the activities of
other shippers of class commodities
In behalf of establishment OF their
rates ON the relatively low base.
Profit In Sitting Tight
In view of all the conditions, wis
dom seems to dictate that this Is the |
time of all times for sitting still, in
stead of precipitating Industrial or
political agitations, pending the de-
velopments of conferences now pro-
ceeding between the carriers them
selves. Any fight we may start at |
this time, if not actually preventing
of present plans, will be
sure to call into full play the oppo-
sition to us Of other shipping in
terests, with the possibility of sus-
pension of plans now under consid-
Grafton. There is, indeed, a very
real danger that in an effort to &C
,omplish rate reductions through
and local campaign, we will
,all into being an opposition that
will effectively prevent, or at least
seriously delay, the very thing we
want.
1t is always easier to start fight

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT

President Harding visited a wheat
field In Kansas and on being invited
to drive the tractor and binder
around . hundred-acre field, he &C.
cepted and did 1t we'll The man
who was doing the driving got on
and gave the President some In
structions about how to operate, and
then the President drove 1t around
the field, turning properly at each
of the four corners, and winning the
plaudits of the little group of farm
ers and friends present. Senator
Capper was present and after Mr..
Harding had done little shocking
of wheat he remarked to Senator
Capper, now do 1 get In on the farm
bloc?" But Senator Capper side
stepped the question. After driving
the tractor and binder around the
field, the President said, Now do
get in on the farm bloc?" and the
farmers present declared that he was
all right and ought to be admitted.
Mrs. Harding was present and took
lively interest in it all.
A small boy was with the little
party, wearing watch chain at
ldCuCu " lliO tlOuoOl anu w avn
pocket, and Mr.. Harding said to him,
What time is it SOM" and the boy
said, ''This chain amt got no watch
on it," Somebody present had
youngster and wanted it's picture
taken with the President, and Mrs.
Harding arranged it and as the child
was passed to him she said, Take
him in your arms Warren, and don't,
be afraid to hold him.
Mr.. Harding asked one Of the
farmers II Kansas wheat growers
were making any money this year
and he replied that they are not,
and that they did not last year. He
gave the cost figures for each step in
raising a crop, including the taxes
and interest on the investment in
land, and showed an average expense
of $500, and an average income
of $3.50, and then added, 1--WE
can't live and raise our families on
that other ten cents an acre per
year."

than it is to be patient, and there
are times when it is necessary to
start; but right now the writer's
idea is that the profitable, and the
real courageous, thing to do is to sit
tight. At this time, rate agitations,
or attacks upon the carriers who
directly serve us, seem to be mad
visable for the following reasons:
1. The level of agricultural rates
in which we are particularly inter-
ested is in a fair way to be lowered
by voluntary carrier action.
2. There is no reasonable hope
of compelling the lowering of agri-
cultural rates through an action be-
fore the interstate commerce COM
mission only after long and expen-
sive fight in which there will be ar
rayed against us shipping interests
other than agricultural as well as
the connecting eastern lines.
8. The construction of our rail-
road extensions is not yet fact.
4. The Idaho farmers are not
reveling in surplus of funds with
which to pay for the luxury of an
unnecessary fight, which might re-
suit in defeating the very end he
seeks.

FOR THE BOYS

This editorial is written for al
lads who are just striking out IL
the world for themselves.
You will get lot of hard bumps
in the next few years. They vii
seem harder to you than they really
are. The reason they will seem
harder is that your parents up tC
now have been taking these bumps
for you = sheltering you against
them. This. happens in all genera
tions, and later you will do the same
for your children.
AS time rolls on, you will become
calloused to these hard knocks. Like
going barefoot-at first it hurts the
tender feet, but you soon get used
to it.
So don't get discouraged. Keep in
mind that, as it takes hard work tC
develop your muscles, so also it takes
quite a bit of rough treatment tC
bring you Quito develop your
courage and resourcefulness, to
enable you to handle power wisely
and responsibility sanely.
Many of the greatest heartaches
of life come in those tender years
WuSn VIC oIlihO OuI III IuC WIN LII
ourselves Later you will realize
that the heartaches were mountains
made out of molehills.
So keep your courage, don't allow
anything to dishearten you.
AS you go on through life you will
find two distinct classes of people.
One will go out of it's way to help
you, to give the guiding directions
that it learnd by bitter experience
Pay close attention to these people,
especially the old. They know the
shortcuts to take and the pitfalls to
avoid.
The others are plain nasty in vary
ing degrees. At times they'll seem
to be in the majority. They are the
people who make life disagreeable
and wretched for themselves as well
as others. AS a rule they are dis
eased, either mentally or physically.
In this class you'll find the cranky
boss, the inconsiderate stranger, also
the vulture eager to take advantage
Of your youthful gullibility, helpless
ness and lack of experience.
AS far as possible, ignore them
BY no means, let them make you
respondent, discouraged, bitter or
cynical. Remember that no one is
worth getting angry at. Anger and
resentment are deadly poisons-to
the body, thinking and spiritual de-
velopment.
This life is merely spiritual gym
nasium.
Young people striking out for
themselves, have tendency to drift
away from the folks at home. This
is always regretted later in life, when
it is too late to make amends, when
we begin to realize the heartaches
and privations endured by our low
ing parents to get us started on the
right road and to give us a better
chance than they had.

is THERE A PRACTICAL WAY

In our labors for reclamation an(

AS we view it, one of the suresi
ways not to secure
I l.. Needed lowering of costs OF

Q. Needed additional transporta-

adopt one or all of the following
policies with relation to the railroad

1. Antagonism and anger.
2. Political propaganda, either
personal or party.
8. Organization of public oppo-
sition.
On the other hand the surest way
to secure what we need Is repre-

1. Cooperation.
2. Temperate and constructive
criticism and suggestion.
3. Recognition of all the ele-

CARTERET, Aug. 29-Destitute
and heart broken Mrs. julius Sol
tesz returned to her modest home
IL Upper Green street. Woodbridge,
late las. night without the body Of
her husband, who apparently was
drowned Monday morning from a
dreGge engaged in digging a canal
along the Staten Island sound.
Soltesz was placing two safety
lamps on the dredge and according
to the present theory tripped as he
placed the second lamp to its place.
His absence from the dredge was
not discovered until an hour later.
Mrs. Soltesz and her daughter Wis
tied the vicinity of the shore where
a number of men are at work deep
ening the sound. She was told that
no trace has been found of the body
although a search along the shore
was made. The woman and her
daughter also called at the police
Headquarters in an effort to learn
whether the remains Of her husband
have been found. Mrs. Soltesz was
told that the body probably will
be washed ashore. Watch is being
kept to discover it.
