McNARY -HAUGHEN BILL
ENDORSED BY GOV. MOORE

Boise. Idaho-In a recent state
ment Governor C. c. Moore has en-
dorsed the McNary-Haughen bill
before Congress for the relief OF the
farmers of the nation. Governor
Moore has been gathering informa-
ton on the possible workings of this
bill for a month and recently sent
the following message to President
Calvin Coolidge:
after careful study Of all pro-
posed bills for agricultural relief and
analysis of the McNary-Haugne bill
| am convinced that the McNary-
Haugen bill presents the best avenue
of relief to the farmers. | wish to
give it my wholehearted indorse-
ment.
1.-THE farmers of Idaho in gener-
al are behind this bill and l wish to
recommend that you urge Congress
to enact it as a law"
81 think everyone will agree that
the farmer has the right to enjoy the
same degree of prosperity that
comes to the rest of the people. y
continued the Governor. "All he
asks is that he shall obtain, relative
ly, as good a price for his products
as he pays for the things he buys,
including labor and it's products.
The McNary-Haugen bill gives him
this and no more.
This bill creates commission
composed chiefly of cabinet mem
bers therefore, does not, materially
increase appointees or cost of admin
istration), which on the 18th of each
month determines what relation the
price of all commodities at that par
ticular time bears to the price of
wheat, and it is authorized to go in
to our market and buy up a suffi-
cient quantity of wheat to raise the
price of wheat to the level of other
commodities. AS an illustration,
the all-commodity price before the
war was 81, today it is $1.62. The
price of wheat before the war was So
per bushel, if it has advanced in
price as much as the average of all
other things it would be today sell
ing at -$1.62 per bushel.
Suppose the loss in selling abroad
and in the cost of operation of the
export corporation amounts to 16
cents per bushel. The net result Is
the farmer has received for his wheat
$1.62 per bushel less Ice; the loss
on his exportable surplus leaving
him net $1.46 per bushel for his
wheat instad of the mere dollar he
not gets. The government has not
lost dollar and the existing agen-
cies for handling wheat have not
been disturbed. The proposed bill
automatically raises the tariff on
wheat instead Of the mere dollar he
for the ratio price to be obtained.

COOLIDGE WINS
IN NORTH DAKOTA

Washington. president Coolidge's
victory in North Dakota is an oc-
casion of the utmost qualification at
the White House and to the Re-
publican leaders. 1t is regarded as
showing that the voters are not be-
ing misled by the frantic efforts OF
the Democrats to make partisan cap
ital out of the various Investigations
and are appraising at their true
value the sensation being sprung by
politicians desperate for an issue
and entirely lacking one. 1t is also
held to indicate that the voters ap-
preciate that such troubles as Mr..
Coolidge has are inheritances from
the last administration and that,
under trying circumstances, he Is
conducting himself with great dig
nifty and justice.

A TRIP TO BAKER

Sheriff Jefferis, accompanied by
the Editor drove to Baker, Oregon,
Wednesday on little official bust
ness. While in the city, we had the
pleasure of meeting our old friends,
M. F. Satoris, and G.. w. Watson.
Mr.. Satoris has very neat and up
to-date grocery store, and is doing
a good business. The most attrac-
tive part of the trip was the excellent
conditions of the highway. Every
foot after reaching the Oregon Trail
beyond the Snake River bridge, is as
smooth as paved street.

A SHORT HISTORY OF RADIO

Replying to charges by Federal
Trade Commission that eight leading
industrial companies had secured "a
monopoly in foreign and domestic
radio bunsiness, Pres. Swope of the
General Electric Company, said
1.-THE connection of General Elec-
trio Company with question of radio
communication dates back to the
war. At the time radio communica-
lions in this country were handled
by American Marconi Co., controlled
by British Marconi Co.
Mr.. Swope pointed out that to es-
tablish radio communications for
the United States free from domina-
ton of foreign interest, the General
Electric Company was induced to
take the lead in recognizing the
American Marconi Company which
eyentuated in the formation of the
Radio Corporation of America. Mr.
Swope said: ITO make Radio Cor
poration the most efficient instru-
ment for transoceanic communica-
ton, General Electric made a con-
tract with Radio Corporation giving
the latter the benefit and advantage
of all inventions it had made and
would make in future. To further
strengthen the position of Radio Cor
poratlon in this art, similar contracts
were made with other companies, the
idea being to put Radio Corporation
in possession of those patents neces-
sary to make it an efficient organi-
cation for radio transmission and
enable 1t to best serve public inter
ests.
This was all known to the gov
eminent, and representative desig-
mated by the government sat on the
board of Radio Corporation for some
time after its organization. Officials
of Radio Corporation appeared be-
fore a congressional committee,
where all these relations relating to
foramtion of Radio Corporation were
told in detail. Several months ago
the Federal Trade Commission pub
llshed their statement as result of
investigation of Radio Corporation
or America and its relation to the
various companies interested in it.
rms report was widely published.
There was no indication in this re-
WV ~ any duVerSe opinion or dC-
ton on part of the Federal Trade
Commission.
All that has been done has been
with the idea of making Radio Cor
poration an efficient instrument Of
radio communication in interest of
the government and the American
public"
Is national policy which seems
TO question the honesty or sincerity
Oh every large business organization
or group Of business interests that
attempt to render a highly efficient
public service, going to encourage
either the inventor, the inventor or
the organizer of progressive business
If every man, group
or men, or company which attempts
70 render nationwide service is to
incentive do we offer for real de- !
yelopment? /
radio communication has been the !
srealest experiment of the age. II
nas required courage and perserver-
ince to put capital into an industry
Is new and untried as this.

JEKYLL.HIDE

The terrible thriller, Strange
Case of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, "
was written by Stevenson in six
days.
This is disclosed in Lloyd Os-
bourne's book about Stevenson
Writing this amazing novel in six
days, Stevenson had to churn ont
10000 words a day. He wrote it
sitting up in bed. That was Marc
Twain's ystem.
Like all writers, Stevenson IN
questionaIbly had weeks when be
couldn't write an interesting word.
Naturally, people used to talk about
inspiration in writing. Now we
know that inspiration" is largely a
physical condition-perfect co-ordi-
nation of the endocrine glands, with

Curious Effect of Nois,

curious Effect of Noise
The Chinese before the white
man began selling rifles to them,
used to amuse US by wearing
false faces and making frightful
racket, especially with brass
gongs, to scare their enemies in
battle.
But maybe the Chinese knew
what they were doing, after all.
Professor A. M. Low, English
scientist, predicts that noises
will play an important part in
future warfare.
Noise, says Low, has a
very curious effect on human be-
ings. The more civilized they
become, the more noise affects
them. Lots of people in the last
war were sent into a serious con-
dition by the nerve-racking ef-
feet of noise. can imagine the
aggressive use of selected nois-
es to undermine the morale of
population and the develop
ment of all sorts of anti-noise de-
vices"
Were you ever in keyed-up
nervous condition where even
slight noises made you jump?
The rasp of a file, the squeak
OF new shoes, the monotonous
drumming of fingers or shrill
whistling by a boy-these are
described by nervous people as
enough to drive one crazy"
Noise, even in a condition of
healthy nerves. is shocking to
the nervous system. It's a mar
vel that people in civilization
are as sane as they are, consid-
ering the thousands of blows or
shocks that reach their nerves
daily IN the form of noises.
Later, as cities become larg-
er and noisier, there'll be cam
paigns against the more annoy
ing sounds, just as there's now
silence zone near every hos
pital.
Fortunately, nature is quick
to protect us. The miller gets
SO he ignores or doesn't hear
the rumble of his millwheels.
30 too we get so the fearful
din of civilization passes in one
ear and out the other without
our noticing it. This is because
the power of receiving a sensa-
ton becomes more or less para
lyzed by repetition.

ANOTHER No.AcCouNr

An impecunious French count
married an American young wo-
man who was referred to III
news reports of the match as
"heiress to an estate of $4,000
000." AS a matter of fact the
young woman has an income of
about $4,000 a year from prop
erty left by one of her grand
monthers, and she will not get
any of her fathers estate until
after his death. He is reported
in very good health at this time,
and is not sending any checks to
his daughter, whose marriage to
a fortune-hunting count he does
not approve. AS for the count
himself, he. is quoted as men
tioning the fact that it is "deuced
hard luck" to marry $4,000
600 and not be able to get his
hands on any of it. His bride
sold one of her strings of pearls
for enough to get them to Eu-
rope and keep them at Paris
hotel for a season, but unless
father relents or the count goes
to work, neither of which is like
ly to happen, the bride will have
to sell another string of pearls
before long. There seems to be
no sentiment about the matter
on the groom's part. He has his
heiress, but she is bringing in no

THE MAVERICK BIBLE CLASS

The Maverick Bible Glass,
which meets at Alamo Theater
every Sunday morning, is in all
probability the only organize
ton of its kind in the world. In
the early days of the cattle in
dustry in the West that term,
Maverick" was applied to all
unbranded cattle that had attain
ed the age of one year. The
'strays" were rounded up and
branded by any cattleman who felt
so disposed, the custom being
recognized by law. The privilege
encouraged dishonesty among the
cowboys, especially in Kansas,
with the result that the Maverick
Act Was. amended
The members of the Griffin
Maverick Bible Glass include un-
branded men in every walk and
life-men and boys who are l9t
affiliated with any other Sunday
school--and it has a large atten
dance. The organization WAS
first proposed by Chester A. By
airs, young attorney, who sue
ceeded in interesting many others
in the project.
Approving of the movement,
DIR. John F. Yarbrough, the able
and beloved pastor of the First
Methodist church OF Griffin, ac-
cepted the position of instructor,
and aided Attorney Byars in
rounding ND the Mavericks of the
city of Griffin. The class has an
average attendance of about sixty
and if DR., Yarhrough doesn't
succeed in implanting the brand
of religion upon many of those
splendid men and boys we are un
acquainted with the man.-Grif-

CHURCHES

Governments come and go, civil
cations rise and decline, great indi-
viduals die and are forgotten. Moth
ing survives except ,religion--the
belief in God and a Hereafter.
The churches have "off periods
in attendance as the religious force
temporarily burns low in the public.
But architects announce that 200
million dollars will be spent this
year in America on new church
buildings. That's good news,
nightly so, even though it's only a
fraction of what will be spent on
movie theaters.
