Wool shearers in Idaho will re-

Last year the wage for shearing

growers were paying 10 cents. This

shearers hoped to get, but association

to become general all over the state.

Jacksonville Power
Ford Sells Fertilizer
Too Much Religion

To Mayors of Cities:
Go to Jacksonville, Florida-this is
written in that city-call on Mayor
Alsop, and learn about Jacksonville's
municipality owned electric light and
power plant.
There is no cheap water power In
Jacksonville-oil is used, at a cost
equivalent to $3.50 a ton for coal. But
the people of Jacksonville buy their
current at a price lower than any
where in the United States, except
perhaps, Seattle SO says John HI
Perry, whose newspaper, the Jackson
vile Journal, prints this column.
Selling at a low cost, the people
of Jacksonville make profit of three
quarters of a million on their plant
They are building an addition to the
plant costing eleven hundred thousand
dollars, and their taxes are low.
Henry Ford, who will shock the
nerves of big financiers as he would
chop off the head of a leghorn hen
has recently startled gentlemen that
manufacture fertilizers here.
The Ford agent at Jacksonville got
word that so many carloads of sui
phate of ammonia in bags ready for
distribution to farmers would present
" arrive and they must sell it.
Shipments came and have continued
Jacksonville understands that Ford's
ammonia sulphate Is a by-product OF
his coke plants. What interests the
farmers is the fact that he sells his
fertilizer, of the highest grade, $40 q
ton below the market price.
Apparently Ford Is trying his hand
at cheap fertilizer without waiting fol

head that he had committed the UNI
pardonable sin.
The idea stayed, and by way OF
"expiation," he killed his two sisters
burning them as they lay asleep II
their beds. That also preyed on his
mind and added to his religious wor
ries. So, by way of further "expia
ton" he shot his father and mother
to death.
Such religious hallucinations were
not unusual in the old days. They
drove men and women into the desert
where they lived in filth and semi
