H Herald "World
Champ" Contes t
Becomes Exciting
Much Wonder as to Who
Will BE First to Reach
Million Mark

Popular interest in The Herald
contest grows every day People
throughout the county phone in fire
qQuently to learn the standing of
the candidates.
Each one of the four leading can
didates has been in the lead at var
ious times today. One time. in az
swer TO the phone, we would stale
that Miss Leola Fairchild stood
first But voting would proceed
rapidly and the next inquirer would
learn that Miss Clara Whittle was
leading. The next time the teie-
phone bell rang, Kenneth Stringfield
headed the list. The latest votiny
was by Miss Tessa Smith who cast
275, 900 votes at one time, giving
her a plurality of 57,050 over the
next highest candidate.
The contest has Just got a good
start. The second period, October
1928, will be very lively; and the
third and final period, October "a
81, will be liveliest of all. On ac-
count of the fact that votes decline
in value with each succeeding per
iod, candidates will make specicl ef
fort to sell subscriptions as early as
possible.

News has been received by tele-
phone to the effect that good work
has been done by Miss Alta Parrish
of Elba but her report has not yet
been received at this office, so we
can't tell how she stands. She will
probably obtain good backing
throughout the Elba and Raft river
country
We predict that more than one
candidate will have votes passing
the million mark by the close of
the first period of the contest, Sat
urday night, September %. Satur-
day will doubtless be day of tre-
activity for the contes-
tsnts. Every effort will be made by
each candidate to get as many votes
as possible on the high schedule Of
the first period.
Regular votes on subscriptions
Will count even if retained after the
first period, but their value will de-
cline on the basis of the schedule
on page six of this paper.

New Industries
For Oakley

We have been wondering for a
long time why beans are not grown
in this valley This week, after
noting the reportof the Twin Falls
county bean crop, in The Filler Rec
ord. our wonder grew. We reprint
the article from the Filler paper for
our readers.
After the article was set up in
type, Paul Barrus called at The Her.
aid Office and gave us some valuable
data on beans. Very little water, il
seems, is required for growing
beans. For this reason the crop is
especially suited to irrigated farms
facting a water shortage or to dry
farms. Beet drills, MIR. Barus said,
may be used for planting beans, and
beet cultivators for cultivating them.
hil. Barurs himself has the proper
machinery for threshing the product.
We believe that our farmers, after
reading the article from the Filler
Record, will decide to plant some
kt HtAl Di ms
The other new industry which we
suggest at this time is a canning
factory. The article which we re-
print on the subject is from The Ru-
pert Pioneer Record. While we are
not so sure of uor gronud on the
cannig factory proposition as on
that of beans. we believe that the
productiveness of the country de-
mands such an industry for full ex-
preston.
Elba alone could supply sufficient
'ruit and vegetables for a canning
factory After the Elba-Oakley au-
.omobile road has been completed, 4.

yalley could be brought to Oakley

275 carloads. The revenue from the
