CURRENT COMMENT
NEWSPAPER can prosper only

A NEWSPAPER can prosper only
by winning the confidence Of the
community it serves Without It's
readers it is helpless Its success de-
pe1ds on its ability to meet their
needs. So if The Index makes for
AL bow on this 29th anniversary Of
It's founding, it may plead in eStenu-
alton its pride in the verdict OF those
who read it week by week Its circu-
lation today exceeds that on any pre-
vious birthday in its history. Its
plant and equipment, regarded as am
PIE for 4 generation only few years
ago, have had to be largely increased
to keep pace with the growing bust
ness Of the paper. These facts are
presented simply as evidence of the
of its readers. Without such
approval The Index could not have
reached its supremacy in Emmett and
Gem county. And so on its 18th birth
day The Index gratefully acknowledge
o its obligation to its readers, who
have put it in the strongest position
in its history.

is overlooking the surest route to
continued business success.

THE man with trade is coming
into his own again. The time Is
At hand when those who insist on KID
glove and white collar jobs will have
to put up with very low salaries while
those who can lay brick. operate a
machine or do something else into
which both skill and industry must
enter. will command the large sal
aries. Already young people who
want to be bookAeepers, s-enogra-
pliers or clerks in stores are con-
trasting their long hours and meager
with the short day and
long pay of the mechanic, machinist
and artisan. The contrast is going
10 be even more pronounced in an
other year or two, due TO the multi
tudes who are crowding into the eler-
cal positions and the shortage Of
recruits for jobs which demand bare
hands and overalls. This is a good
tenn to read to your boy who lives in
small town and has no other ambi- |
ion than to clerk in a store or keep |
set Of books.

TALES OF THE TOWN
IF

II YOU want to win husband without
trying.
And make him think that he's the
prize, not you.
II you can trust him when you know
he's lying
| And never let him know you knew,
If You can wait and wait and keep on
waiting,
And greet him when he does come
with smiling eyes,
And listen TO that old equivoeating.
And never say too much or look too
wise.
If you can love him, minus shave or
collar,
If you can cook when cooking's not
your aim,
II you can coax for every single dollar
And 20 on being thankful Just the
same,
Ii you can make one heap of your
illusions.
And wish them on one man to stand
of fall,
And flinging all your fairest dreams
effusiOns,
Can declare that he is worth il all. /
IL you can force your heart and
nerves and sinew,
To keep smiling face until the end,
And never show what thoughts are
seething in you,
And seem to feel the joy that you
pretend.
II you can have your say and then
keep quiet,
And never use that gentle little

II you can hide his weakness or DENY

much,
II you can spend each day ard hour

HOW many people are aware OF the
fact that nine other commodities
outrank wheat as a source Of income
on the American farm? Corn, hay,
cattle, hogs, poultry, dairy products,
cotton, fruit and several other pro-
ducts bring in much more morey than
wheat. according to government sta
tistics. Not one farmer IN ten raises
wheat. but all Of them must buy our
and feeds that are made from IL, and
therefore benefit by low market. In
spite of these facts, more fuss is
made in the press and on the stump
about low prices to the wheat grower
than about low prices on all the 9th
err products which are more univer-
sally produced and which mean so
much more in a financial way TO the
producer. The reason for all this
noise about wheat and all this silence
about things that mean so much more

NO TOWN can grow as It should
unless its people work together in
its upbuilding. The history Of every
city that has had rapid and substan.-
tial growth will show that united
and enthusiastic work of its people
had the greatest part in making it
grow. In towns where a few live men
boost and work for the towns up
building and many are Indifferent and
do nothing, the work Of city building
is exceedingly difficult and the re-
suits slow in coming. If all boost
and help to build up the town it is
an easy matter to make the town push
forward. The beauty of a city is one
Of its most valuable assets, and every
effort should be made to take advan-
tage Of the gifts which nature has
bestowed here lavishIy.

Auto Owners Helped
By Quality Of Gas
Now Being Marketed

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
life of automobile owners is beconn-
ing less complex. and irritating on
frosty. mornings, since the quality
of gasoline marketed in the United
States is improving steadily and the
tendency is toward greater uniform
ity, the bureau of mines announced
today in making public its seventh
semi-annua1 survey of conditions in
New York, Washington, Pittsburg,
Chicago, New Orleans, st. Louis,
Denver, Salt Lake City, San Fran
cisco and. Bartlesville, Okla.
The increase in volatility contin-
ued, it was said, with consequent
improvement in the YapOriZation of
the average gasoline. thus reducing
car casualties when the thermOme-
ter attempts to torpedo the equa-
nimity Of the tired business man, or
his wife. The seasonal variation in
summer and winter gasolines also
is diminished, the bureau found, but
its survey revealed that fiftysiX of
129 samples collected in the ten cities
failed to meet specifications, New
York being the only city with an
pntirelv clear record in this respect.

LOYALTY To j. 6.
WINS FREEDOM FOR
ALABAMA CONVICT

MONTGOMERY, Ala, March q
An unusual record Of loyalty to the
United States came before Governor
Brandon when he began considera-
ton of the application of Tom Ford
convicted of completely in the rob.
berry of the Phoenix-Girard bank, for
release on parole, and this loyalty
was one of the important factors in
obtaining his release. The infor-
nation was not filed by Ford or his
attorneys, but came to the governor
from other sources.
During the world war Ford's sis.
| ter was married to German and
Ford and members of his family
received information that he was
not in full sympathy with Ameri
! cas- purposes in the war. Ford pro-
posed to his sister that she leave
her husband and promiS ed that he
would care for her and her baby,
Ford then enlisted in the war as a
soldier. Each month his allotment
was delivered to his sister. When
he returned home and was discharg
ed, he became involved in the rob-
berry of the bank and accepted a
sentence of ten years in prison.
Ford walked out of Banner mines
Wednesday free man. Investiga-
tons made by members of the state
board of pardons have developed the
fact that Ford's earnings above his
| task to the state each month are
being sent to his sister in ccnrd-
ance with his promise made when
America entered the war. His
earnings range around fifty to seven.
ty-five dollars a month AMI as proof
that his promise is being met Ford
| sends each month to his sister the
comrany's statement showing the to-
tai amount of his earnings.
Roy E. Dickerson, the brains be-
hind the robbery, and Rufus Ford,
Toms brother, have made written
statements generating Tom of any
willful connection with the robbery.
Dickerson made his statement April
5, 1922, when he was being tried
for the robbery and before he made
his mysterious escape FROM Kilby
prison. Rufus Ford filed his state
ment with Governor Brandon Feb
ruary 10.
Both declared that Tom Ford did
not know at the time he was par
ticipating in a bank robbery, that
they persuaded him to go to the
bank for the purpose of making
deposit for them and that while he
wa sarranging for the deposit they
and others held up the officers and
employees of the bank. Tom Ford
was arranging for the deposit they
he was intoxicated at the time and
did not know he was aiding in the
commission of crime. His statement
was supported by the statements of
Dickerson and Rufus Ford. The
state board of pardons, recommend
ed clemency several months ago, but
Governor Kilby refused to grant
parole.
Tom Ford entered a, plea of guilty
and accepted a sentence of ten
years, which he began April 2,
1920.
