CHRISTMAS TREES
ADVANCE IN PRICE
Scarcity Reported-MiStIetOe
90 Cents a Pound,

Yuletide decorations viii cost little
more this year than In 1922, accord
ing to dealers.
Although a marked scarcity in
Christmas trees has boosted the price
OF medium-sized trees about so cents,
other articles for decorative purposes
are about the same.
Christmas trees will cost from 80
cents for a tree three feet high to SIS
for a twelve-foot tree. The latter were
$3.50 last year. The increase in price
is due to a scarcity in Alabama AMI
other Southern States where the trees

Mistletoe is so cents a pound and
holly is so cents a wreath. Paper
bells selling at from Is cents to S1.7o

PAPER ONE DAY LATE
BECAUSE OF FOURTH

Because the Fourth of July fell
on Wednesday, The Record is one
day late this week in making it's
appearance.
Although this is a Thursday
paper. the weekly editions are
printed Wednesday evenings. and
ordinarily are in the mails Thurs
day morning, an innovation that
patrons and advertisers say is
greatly appreciated.
Rural route carriers do not
serve their patrons on Indepen-
dence day. and because The Rec
ord force wished 10 join with the
the rest OF the county In celebrat-
ing the birth OF the nation, pub
lication is therefore postponed "a
hours. but fortunately the paper
will be in the hands OF a majority
OF its subscribers on what is us
ually considered regular schedule
for a Thursday paper.

REPORT ON DAM
MISCONSTRUED
Board Member Believes Champion
Was Not Rightly Informed
on Dam Contract

Confidence that undue alarm has
been created by the announcement
OF Congressman Champion of Michi-
gan, chairman of the house commit
tee on appropriations, relative TO the
American Falls reservoir and that the
true situation was apparently not un-
derstood by Congressman Champion,
was expressed by w. F. Alworth. sec
Rotary OF the American Falls district
board OF directors. on his return
from American Falls, says a Twin
Falls report.
Directors Discuss Question.
The matter was discussed by the di-
rectors who met at American Falls
last week, and who adjourned on
Thursday to go TO Pocatello. where
several members OF the board, includ-
ing Mr.. Alworth. got in touch for
brief time with Secretary Work.
CONGRESSMAN Champion evidently
misunderstood a statement by r. r.
Shepherd, chairman OF the board of
directors relative to changes In the
contract and to deferred contracts
made some years ago Involving lhe
various canal companies.
Would Adjust Matters.
Congressman Champion was as
sured by Mr.. Alvorth that II there
has been any so-called discrimina-
,ion among the various districts in
regard TO their participation in the
construction of the reservoir these
matters would be adjusted satisfac-
torily. Il am sure the entire situa-
ton regarding the statement OF Con-
gresham Champion that appropria- T.
tons for the American Falls project /
would be reduced was caused BY mis-
understanding and that II viii be ad-
iusted very satisfactorily" said Mr..
Al-orth. The recent modification
of the contract between the district
and the government was very favor
Bile TO all Of the districts alike; in
fact Il was only as q matter OF jus
tsce to all OF these districts that the
contract was modified"
The board spent much OF it's time
during the sessions last week in OBJ
tanning further options OF land for
the townsite of American Fails and
the remainder of the government APP
OF 81 100000 was report
cd to have been spent for this pur-
pose. u
