German Landlords in Hard Luck.

A tourist who has just returned
from Germany says that in Fulda a
five-room fiat with bath can be rent
ed for less than FIVE cents month
IN American currency. The prewar
rent was 30 marks, and by law it
must remain at that f1gure AS a
result Of the rent laws; property is,
he says, going to rack and ruin, since
landlords are unable to make repairs,
and dispossession even of undesirable
tenants is almost impossible, since 1t
involves finding other quarters for
them.

IN This geenration people desire TO

ESSAYS WORTHY
Of MENTION
WHY LIVE IN THE
BEST SECTION OF THE WEST

There arc many reasons why I
+ live h the Snake River valley,
which is known to all OF Us as the
best section of the West.
! This section has moderate eli
mate due to the location OF the valley
/ with the mountains near IL is
never very cod in winter nor are
we afraid of severe storms such as
are quite frequent in other sections,
our summers are delightful, II II is
too warm in town few hours drive
over excellent roads and we are
among the pines. AS for places to
spend our summer vacation we have
an abundance, many people enjoy
camping, others take a cottage at
Iraho's summer resort, Payette
Lakes; still others go to Yellowstone
Park, which is not great distance
from our valley, while others spend
their vacation on the coat.
Diversified farming is the plan
used in this valley. The potatoes
of this section have won a name for
themselves and for Idaho from New
York to Yellowstone to California,
as have our wonderful red and yell
low apples. The Mesa orchard
near Council, and the largest under
one ownership, is noted for the fine
spples produced Clover, Alfalfa,
corn silage are the main forage crops.
Last year this section raised another
crop with much success, both finan-
cially and otherwise, that was, let
tuce. Lettuce can be grown in
this section at a time when it can
not be raised in other places, Cali
fornia among them. This is due
to our climate.
A very important factor to farm
ing in this section is our abundant
water supply. With the condition
of the Black Canyon project, about
seyenty-eight thousand (7S,000)
acres, of what is now waste land COW
cred with sage brush will be re-
claimed.
1t is thought that in the near
future the Snake River Valley will
become one of the greatest dairy
sections of the entire west. The
dalrymen have imported stock and
are organizing associations for the
advancement of this industry.
Throughout this valley we have
excellent roads which make it a plea
sure and not tiresome task to mo-
tor through the valley. Further
more the good roads help transpor-
tation by truck immensely.
The Butterfield Livestock Com
pany Of Weiser, is one of the. larg-
est growers of purebred sheep in the
West and various other companies
make the sheep industry an import
ant one.
We have two large flour mills in
this valley, one located at Payette
and the other at Weiser, the latter
being one of the largest mills in the
Northwest. Having these mills near
the grain man has but a short dis
lance to ship his grain
AS for education, there are few
parents who would ask for better ed
| ucational facilities, for their child
ron, than can be found throughout
this valley.
I think the reasons I have stated
are sufficient to prove that we live
in the best section of the West-The
Snake River Valley.

DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE

the very midst of his duties and at a
time when he was making extraordin-
airy effort to serve, has been summon
cd and is now among the dead. Well
may we reflect with the poet, 'The
spiders most attenuated web is cord,
is cable, compared to the tie that
binds man to his earthly bliss"

brief interview a discussion of the
measure of President Hardings adj
ministratiOn, or even to place an es-
innate upon his character as a public
servant, or as an extraordinary figure.
This could not be done in the time 1

or fitted to do so, but that he was a
sincere. high-minded, patriotic public
servant. time will fully record, and
time will also do justice TO him in
giving him high place i'm the history

give a sketch of the personal
character of President Harding
L am glad to do so, but it must neces-
sarily be brief and inadequate.
Mr.. Harding took office under most
adverse circumstances. 1t was after
the World war which had left for
consideration and adjustment prob
lens more complex and difficult than
we have ever before had to grapple
with. In some respects the situation
was more involved and required even
greater craftsmanship than the war
itself. How President Harding has
dealt With these questions later
and more extended discussion will re-
veal. 1t is not my purpose to under
take a discussion OF those matters so
soon after his service is ended, but this
much all will readily admit, that in
dealing with these problems there was
revealed a nos, patient. and patriotic
man. Everyone who came in contact
with him. even uLder the most trying
observed how singularly
free he was OF all littleness. all selfish
ness and all bitterness j have never
known one in whom there was so
little OF jealousy or feeling toward
those who opposed him. He never
look umbrage of those who differed
With him or even those who severely
'riticiZed him. He dealt with men and
