ACCIDENT TAKES
TOLL ON EARLY
MORNING. JAUNT
Cuddy Hurt, Interurban
Motorman, Killed in
Accident Near Star on
Thursday Morning.

Cuddy Hurt, motorman on the In
terurban, is dead. and w. H. Curry,
conductor on the same car, is At =
Boise hospital with broken arm and
fractured hip, the result of an accident
on the traction line about | 80 o'clock
Thursday morning at Conway. station,
a short distance this side of Star.
Rushing home following a special
trip around the loop, two cars were
tearing toward Boise when the leading
car lost its trolley rounding a sharp
curve at Conway station.
The second car. driven by Hurt.
bore down upon the stalled car and
before Hurt realized that the car ahead
was stalled. a rear end collision re-
suited and Hurt was caught in the
vestibule of his car. He was extricat-
ed at once from the wreckage and
started to Boise for medical attetion,
but died en- route there.
Curry was thrown bodily from his
seat by the force of the impact and
suffered a broken arm and fractured
hip. Both cars were empty except for
the motormen and conductors. Both
were special cars sent out by the Boise
Valley Traction company TO return
business men who attended the inter
urban conference in Boise Wednesday
night, to their homes.
The accident is believed to have
been unavoidable. Owing to the short
curve which threw off the trolley OF
the leading car, il was impossible for
NJ otorman Hurt of the second car to
see the car ahead until he was only
100 feet distant. When the onrushing
cars headlight revealed the stalled
car ahead, it was too late to stop de-
spite the application of brakes. Both
the motorrnan and conductor of the
leading car were working on the troll
ley from the front end of the car.
Both escaped injury. The two cars

All World Organized But Farmers;
Orderly Marketing Only Solution

market for the products of American
farms. The senator of course is no'
likely to be suspected of shallow
thinking on this or any other subject
but just the same one cannot help
wondering to what extent and just in
what way the cancellation of the debts
due from European nations would help
the American farmer, since those ma
tions whose debts he would cancel
have thus far paid us nothing. and,
according to his view, are not likely
to pay us anything in the future.
The senator, and others who profess
to see in distracted and insolvent Eu-
rope place to unload the burdens OF
the American farmer might find new
direction for their interest in him in
the very recent utterance of Secretary
Wallace on the unwisdom. no. to say
absurdity, of looking for enlarged Eu-
ropean markets to ease the difficulties
of American agriculture.
And, by the way, the secrotarys ut
terance is bit belated. 1t could just
as well have been made six months or
a year ago-yes, even two years ago
because the facts he cites were then
just as we'll known as they are today.
But at any rate he shows that there
is not now, nor has there ever been,
an excuse, nor the semblance OF a
reason, other than humanitarian. why
a single dollar should be expended on
European reconstruction in the inter-
est of American agriculture.
And Europe, we are told by other
authorities, is already Americas debt
or, apart from national obligations, to
an extent for loans and supplies that
in the interest of our own economic
structure ought not be largely in
creased. But even if this were not the
case, the rehabilitation OF Europe to
its pre-war status would not improve
or enlarge the markets there Tor
American farm products; rather. the
reverse would follow.
1913 Banner Year
A glance at statistics OF our exports
OF agricultural products to European
countries during the years 1921 and
1922 as compared with the pre-war
year, 1913, will disclose the correctness
of this conclusion. In 1913 we ex-
ported to all European countries
somewhat less than 200 million bushels
of food grains. while in 1921 we ex-
ported AIS million bushels. and in l91z
AIS million bushels OF these grains to
this same Europe in its present unset
tlco state.

uled Here for Sum-
day, July 8.

route west, will stop in Caldwell for
three hours. from 3 until 6 O'Clock,

assurance received that the excursion

ed. Ten days will be spent in the
Snake river valley. the longest time al
lotted to any state visited on the trip.
Efforts are being made to consoli-
date the three hour stops at Boise val

Harding Connives
With Liquor Men,
Is Charge Made

Greenleaf-Virgil G. Hinshaw, pres
ident of the Prohibition National
Committee, and superintendent of the
World Prohibition and Reform FEEDER
alton, spoke here last Sunday night to
mass meeting in the Friends church.
He exposed the fact that while Presi-
dent Harding is occasionally giving
out statements seemingly deploring
lax enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment, he himself is not a total
abstainer, according to the best evi-
dence obtainable. Mr.. Hinshaw said
that the president never would be taxi
Ell seriously in his suggestions OF law
enforcement so long as he connived
with liquor dealers and law violators
by himself consuming part OF their
product. At the close of the meeting
the audience voted unanimously to
send the following wire:
president Warren Harding,
Washington, ID. c.
"In view of the lax enforcement of
the prohibition law in certain sections
OF the country as emphasized by you.
and in view of the fact that such vio-
lation OF law is due to two classes al
people, the drinkers and the sellers.
we strongly urge upon you that you
proclaim to the people of the United
States the principles of total absiin-
ence, and request all rich and poor
alike to cooperate in the upholding OF
law and order by themselves desisiing
from the use OF alcoholic stimulanis'

Washington federal trade

Tor the fake oil stock schemers. A
great many complaints have been Ia

on the part of promoters to greatly
exaggerate the extent OF their oil in

as to the number of barrels OF oil be-
ing brought in by the oil wells. The
commission finds it common for oil
companies to sell some Of their assets
Tor the purpose Of paying dividends
that could not be paid from the COM
pany's earnings.
A characteristic order from the
commission commands certain re-
spondents to cease from publishing,
