PRESIDENT AGREES
WITH WOMEN ON
LEG|SLAT|ONN NEEDS

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Presi-
dent Harding has informed the Con-
gress of Mothers and Parent-Teach-
! er associations that its members, in
a program adopted at the recent
Louisville convention, have pretty
nearly written my platform so far as
you have gone" He added, however,
that he did not want to be regarded
as committing himself in detail 10
all of those policies which received
the unanimous support of the gon.
VentiOn.
The program to which the presi-
dent referred is set forth by Mrs.
William Tilton, legislative chairman
Of the congress, to whom Mr. Har.
ding wrote, as providing for lobe
dience to law, prohibition enforce
ment with the United States navy
out against the rum fleet; maintain
ing the present Volstead act; pro-
tective legislation for women and
children in industry; participation
in world court of international JUS
tice; entrance into some internatiOn
al organization to minimize chances
of future wars; a department of edu-
cation; federal aid for physical edu-
cation and general education; the
principle of a uniform marriage and
divorce law, and a family reuniting
clause in the new immigration bill.
agents were given certain salary in
creases, it is understood, but on
October the increases were re.
scinded. For several months, the
agents are understood to have re,
fused to sign warrants for their
reduced salaries, and the question
has been the subject of several con
ferencesI between them and the
board.
At a meeting here several weeks
ago, Chairman P. X. Yonge, of the
board, authorized the statement that
matters had been justed amicably.'
1t seems, however, that there was
misunderstanding a this meeting
which resulted in the joint resigna
ton at Gainesville.

FEEL NATION SPULSE

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Borah will start out this week to
talk to the country. His tour will
answer the question whether he will
be third party candidate in 1924
1t will reveal, first, how far out
of agreement with the Harding ad-
ministrations domestic and foreign
policies he is, and, second, how the
American people react to his own
point of view as compared with Pres
ident Harding's.
Senator Borah will talk about the
world court, recognition of Russia,
the attack on the primary system,
the railroads, taxes, immigration, the
shipping policy. He has more speak

DIVORCE GRANTED
FOR EVERY FIVE
MARRIAGE KNOTS

CHICAGO, May 14-One divorce
has been granted for every five mar
riage licenses issued in Chicago dur
ing the first three months of this
year, and in the last ten years the
ratio of divorces to marriages has
nearly doubled.
Judges who have heard from 1000
to 5000 divorce cases ascribe the in
creasing number of marriage disso-
lutions to changing economic con-
ditions
In January, February and March,
1905 marriage licenses were issued.
During the same period circuit and
superior court judges signed 1888
divorce DEGREES. In 1922, 1904 mar
riage licenses were issued and 1885
divorces granted. Divorces have
doubled in the last eight years while
marriages have increased one-eighth.
For every thousand marriages the
following number of divorce DEGREES
have been entered: 1906, III; 1914,
1O6; 1915, 100, and 1922, 1911. In
1885 the ratio was one divorce to
every II marriages.
Some Of the reasons for divorce ad-
vanced by the judges are:
Entrance of women into the fields
of commerce, industry and business.
Too much dancing, too much cab
areting and liquor toting.
Ultra ophistication of the rising
generation.
Tendency of young married cou-
pies to live with their parents, thus
becoming susceptible to their influ-
ence.
Failure of contracting parties to
regard properly the solemn bonds of
matrimony
Too little religion in the home.
Poor cooking, resulting from wom-
ans desire to leave the home
fires" for a business career and
makeshift delicatessen dinners.
Economic marriages, where both
husband and wife work, the figures
indicate, are a success as the prin-
cipals rarely seek dissolution of the
matrimonial bonds.

Blackfoot should be and is very

and which have existed throughout
this entire school year. The harmony
and cooperation existing between the
teachers, pupils and patrons is a very
significant fact and speaks we'll for
the principals of the various schools
So great is the spirit and enthusiasm
being developed that in our grade
schools, the Irving school and Junior
High school have just completed a
record of eight weeks without having
a single tardy pupil in these schools,
while the Central school has just CON-
pleted a record of six weeks with the
same perfect punctuality. This is
splendid record and deserves the
commendation of the community.

FREIGHT RATE REDUCTION
CONTINUED FOR 80 DAYS

Boise,-Governor c. c. Moore 'went
to bat" for the farmers of Idaho, Fri
day and succeeded in having continu-
ed for thirty days the emergency
freight rate on shipments of seed
potatoes within the state. Advised
by eastern Idaho farmers that they
could not get their seed all shipped
by March 30th the date on which the
emergency rate expired, the COVER
nor Immediately took up the question
with the Oregon Short Line and with
in twenty-four hours had secured an
extension of the rate to April 30th.
This extension will apply only to
shipments within the state as the
time was too short in which to secure
action by the interstate commerce
commission for shipments outside the
state. This will bring great relief to
hundreds of producers of seed-pota-
toes as the emergency rate is half
the regular rate. Being thoroughly
familiar with the troubles of the
farmers the governor was quick to
take action in case where he could
secure definite help for them.

WARNING TO FARMERS

The Inland Fertilizer Company ol
Salt Lake City, through their travel
ing representatives has been making
the statement that they have a fertll-
izer which will control wireworms
and cutworms. There have been no
records whatever to show that any
such material will control these in
sects. When the representative has
been pinned right down to facts, he
has been unable to give any conclu-
sive evidence of such control. Fur
thermore, he does not seem to know
the difference between one insect and
another and it is questionable if he
really knows what his material will
do as an insect control agent. He
has been able, in some instances, to
farmers because of the fer
tilizer's so-called insectividal properf-
ties.
We are publishing this word of
warning, which has been sent us by
the state entomologist, so that you
may use it as you desire. If this a.
gent appears in your community, I
would suggest that you ask him if he
will give a money-back guarantee if
4 farmer purchases this material FOR
insect control.

MARK A. M0ANS AP-
POINTED COMMISSIONER

Boise,-Mark A. Means, prominent
north Idaho farmer and seed-man
has been appointed by Governor c.
G. Moore as Commissioner of Agri-
culture to succeed Miles Cannon.
Mr.. Means who served as Senator
from Nez Perez County in the past
session of the legislature is a prac-
tical farmer from the famous agricul-
tural section in the Lewiston country.
He has given special study to devel-
opment of the seed industry and mar
keting methods. Announcement of
his appointment has not met with
widespread approval because of his
practical experience with the prob
lens of the Idaho farmer.
1t is Governor Moore's desire that
the Department Of Agriculture use ev-
cry means at the disposal of the state
to aid the farmers in returning to
prosperity. In selecting commits
sioner of agriculture he made care
full survey of the state in order to
secure a man thoroughly familiar
with the farming conditions and
whom he felt would be best fitted to
work with the producer in solving
heir problems.
Mr.. Means will take up his new
luties ON April first.

MAKE YOUR LIGHTS
RIGHT FOR COMFORT

Preparing for summers comfort
means getting rid of all the discom-
forts that have been noted, either dur
ing the winter or over a more extend
ed period of time. If there are faults
with furnishings which are attrac-
tive or uncomfortable, these should as
far as possible be remedied during
spring cleaning. Likewise, IL the
lighting in any room is unsatisfactory
for either eye-comfort or attractive
ness this should be remedied The
well-being of the entire family hinges
largely on lighting efficiency; and
with the exhaustive investigations
which lighting scientists have put in
to this utility of late years, it is pos
sible for each home to be lighted not
merely for efficiency but most of all
