LIBRARY NOTES

The greatest percentage OF books
circulated from most small libraries
is fiction, in Blackfoot about 70 per
cent. The writer's most in demand
are Zane Grey, James Oliver Cur
wood and Harold Bell Wright.
The fine novel is as much a part of
beautiful letters as drama or poetry;
then it is fitting for us to find out
what makes a novel q permanent
contribution to literature
Two excellent books of criticism
are by Carl Van Doren, 1.-THE Ameri-
can Novel," discusses our fiction up
to 1900; Contemporary American
Novelists." tells of the best in the
new school.
H. L. Mencken in his "Prejudices,
Third Series has a devastating
article on the prevailing taste for
sentimentality and a false attitude
toward life found in the novel reader
of today.
We are giving this week a list of
novels representative of the finest

Dial0g By Two Land
Appraisers

On Thursday morning at the breakfast
table, two land appraisers, E. T. Ca.
pener and D. John Bloem, acting for the
Pacific Coast Joint Stock Land Bank of
Salt Lake City, talked earnestly as fol
lows, and it was so good we want to
pass the message on to you:
"This valley is all right; what people
here need most is faith in their own re-
sources and themselves"
eyes, there isn't anything better in
Colorado or California. People in those
states with all their shortage of water
would be optimistic if they had such re-
sources as there are in the Snake river
valley"
81 met friend of mine in Salt Lake
a few days ago, and he said to keep out
of the Snake river valley; he had been
up here and travelled around little
among the farmers and he said they were
all broke. asked him where he got that
stuff, and he said he got it from the
farmers themselves. He had talked with
lot of them, and they all told him the
same story-broke. He just took their
word for it and pulled out He said he
didn't have any money to put into a
country that was down and out. He went
out of the valley filled with that kind of
ideas. 1t was case of repetition makes
reputation.
81 was coming thru Cache valley the
other day and | was talking with young
fellow that said he had been raising cab
bage, and was sick of it, He said he
couldn't sell it for anything and was feel
ing like the sheepman that couldn't look
sheep in the face. He was thru with
cabbage A young lady sitting just across
the aisle listened to him and remarked
that she thought the market for cabbage
might be greatly increased by teaching
housekeepers how to use it. So many of 1
them know only one or two ways of using
it; and the young fellow just haw hawed
at her. She went on to say that perhaps
he had the idea that vinegar was needed

to make kraut, and he nodded that it
was so. She said kraut was made of cab
bage and salt, and no vinegar in t. She
said lemon juice was being used now as
a substitute for vinegar and was better
for many things, but housekeepers need
to be informed on many things. His
cabbage was still needed and he should
not be discouraged | asked her where
she was from and she said she lived in
Idaho, but that she had been n Los
Angeles the past eight months-you see
she had caught the Los Angeles booster
spirit and was talking up lemons and in
creasing the market for them. That is
what we need for Idaho spuds."
Say that reminds me-my business part
is just back from tour of Europe, and
down in Of those Balkan states he in
home talking to the man, and the children
came in and one little girl went up to him and
said, Please, papa, we are so hungry; can't
we have just one potato?" I was over here
at Lewisville the other day at meeting of
farmers and they were all talking about being
broke and were wanting to get out of the
country way 1 asked of them If he
had home and he said he had. Did he have
fuel? Yes, plenty of fuel. Did he have any
flour? Yes, he raised his own -four and had
plenty. Did he have meat? Yes, he killed
many hogs as he wanted. Did he have pota-
toes? Oh, Lord, yes, cellar full of them.
You they had everything they needed and
were hollering because they did not have lux
uries I thought Of that family in the Balkans
considering whether they could afford to divide
potato among the Children
"Talk about the five-fve-three treaty
made at Washington-the condition of the
farmers Of this valley is ffty-forty-ten, and
by that mean that so per cent of them are in
good circumstances-4O per cent need financial
help and 10 per cent of them are broke, but
living in land of plenty. Yet they are nearly
all busy advertising the false statement that
they all broke, and by that means driving
capital and enterprise out of the valley"
There's a lot of them waking up to the
opportunity of getting capital. Last time 1
was in here I appraised forty-fve farms and
reported on their loan value and now I've got
thirty-nine listed to be and reported on.
Say, Mr.. Waiter, did you put up that lunch
for us? I'll bet you forgot it, and here we
are ready to go out to see farmers that want
money. Well drive past here and get it on
our way OUT
Folks, those men exhibit the spirit that
we all need here. We helping them and
the farmers to get together to make loans to
help that 40 per cent that need financial help
but the valuable message we want you to get
is in the several paragraphs next above this one.

Churchley visited the junior high
school during her visit In Blackfoot.
Thursday evening the closing
game of q tournament held between
various teams organized in the
high school was played. The game
resulted In the All-Stars defeating
the Midgets by a score of ten to
three and that team has been the
most successful during the tourna-
ment which has lasted all week, as
they have only suffered defeat in
one game. Two games were played
during the evening and the second
one was between the sophomore and
senior classes. The game was hard
fought and one of the fastest games
played during the year and resulted
in victory for the second year men,
by score of 20 to 10. The line

APARTMENT HOUSE is
EQUIPPED WITH RADIO

ST. LOUIS, March 1O-Probably
the most startling indication of the
great interest being manifested in
radio was given here this week when
a large advertisement appeared in
the local paper of 54 apartment
building just being completed in
which every apartment is supplied
with complete radio equipment.
In the same issue Of the newspa-
per there were two columns of ad-
vertisements Of different radio sets
both new and old and parts for sale
and exchange, a small number of adj
vertisements of radio repair shops
and a few requests for second hand
radio sets. The volume Of radio
wants advertisements equaled about
one-third of the volume of automobile
want ads in these papers.
