Capital And Character-Nothing is more wearing or more fruitful source of unhappiness in the long run than to be self-centered If our thoughts and plans, our hopes and fears, our ideals and ambitions, all center stas our own personal comfort and happihSss there must come many day of infinite weariness and self disgust when life does not seem worth living. Poverty or riches have little to do with it. You will find just as many well-to-do people as poor, for whom life has lost it's spice and enthusiasms.

ENGLISH DRYS ACTIVE
Rapidly Until Now There Are
800 of Them

The dry forces of England are moving
to have the government introduce with
out delay measure giving to the people
of each district of that country the power
to prevent the sale of Intoxicating liquor.
A proposal of this kind was presented
and approved at a recent meeting of the
National British Women's Temperance
Association At that meeting some facts
were brought out showing the wonderful
growth of prohibition sentiment in Great
Britain.
Isaac Foot, member of Parliament,
described how when he first entered Par
lament two years ago, temperance men,
bers were SO few that they only needed
very small room for their discussions.
The next year the number had increased
to between so and 90. Today there are
800 temperance members in the House of
Commons.

MRS. WILLEBRANDT WITNESS
Tells Senate Committee Influence of
Politics is Main Hindrance to
Enforcement

Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, AS
sistant Attorney General of the United
States and in charge of liquor prosecu-
tons, was a witness before the Senate in-
vestigating committee last week and as
always proved interesting. In her testi-
mony before the committee, Mrs. Willie
brandt declared that the public now quite
generally knows that the greatest hind
rance to federal enforcement of the dry
law is the politicians working through
Senators and Congressman.
Senator Wheeler of the committee in
sisted that the main trouble with prohi-
bition enforcement is the shifting of re-
sponsibity on the part of government
officials. Mrs Willcbrandt disagreed,
contending that attempted political con-
troll of federal agents is the most serious
factor
The real trouble" she declared, as not
passing the buck but the influence of poll
itcs through some senator or congress-
man in aiding or blocking an agents APP
pointment."
Mrs. Wllebrandt asserted that prohibi-
ton agents should be given three
months training and she defended the
agents of the Department of Justice, con-
tending that they lacked numbers and
funds to cope with all cases of law vio-
latons, and that furthermore enforcing
prohibition is hard task because these
agents can not rely on general reports
but must get frst-hand information.
A spirited phase of Mrs. WITHDRAWALS
examination was entered upon when the
name of George Remus, the millionaire
bootlegger formerly of Cincinnati, was
mentioned. Mrs. Willebrandt declared
that Remus had fought conviction clear
along the line up to the White House"
Then she threw bomb into the commit
tee proceedings and gave some interesting
information when she said II will be
frank with you. A request for stay of
sentence was sent to the White House by
Senator Reed of Missouri, following
visit to the White House which the Sen
ator made The department was then
asked to make a report"
Mrs. Willebrandt did not say whether
the request for the report was signed by
President Coolidge but she left that in
ference. However, she added, But IN
spite of all the efforts made in behalf of
Remus he is now in Atlanta penitentiary."

You see, buying 1900 posters in
three different places or one place
at three different times is not just
like buying three sacks of food at
three different places or at three diff
ferent times. If stockman makes
arrangements to have an animal adj
vertised and wants the picture of it
printed and says he will furnish the
cut, and afterwards sends in a photo
and expects to get results at the
price quoted, he and the printer will
need to have another conference.
There is difference between a cut
and a photo. The buttermaker, who
writes in and gets the price for fur
nishing 200 printed butterwrappers
and places an order for 100 and ex-
poets to get them at half the price of
200, is going to feel annoyed when
she gets her bill And the printer is
going to feel annoyed if she beats
him to it and sends in what she
understands to be the price, and de-
clines to pay the rest. l don't blame
people for condemning printers to
purgatory now and again. Let the
printers soften up and explain some
of their darned operations and talk

SOMETHING NEW IN MILLING

At the warehouse of the Black
foot potato growers is new kind Of
feed grainder, doing business with
satisfied customers. 1t is known as
the ]. B. Sedberry pulverizer, and
consists of q rotary wheel with a
large number Of little hammers that
swing around at the speed of $500
Revolutions per minute, and hit the
kernels of grain such swift blows
that 1t pulverizes them. So long as
there Is a crumb of a grain left 1t
gets hit again and again until 1t goes
to bits. The machine Is at once a
grinder and a blower, and blows the
-four or meal into the upper story SO
1t feeds down into the sacker.
1t handles all kinds of grain and
by means Of different screens slipped
into place, they guage the fineness
of the product. some of the custom
ers, who have tried it, have found 1t
a good way to get whole wheat -four.
They bring in choice wheat, put 1t
thru the cleaner first and get all the
odd seeds and all the dust out of It,
and then put it thru the pulverizer
and have something that makes de-
licious brown bread or graham
mush.

of a potato sorter that is taking the

gan building them for use in his own

RAINING COWS AND PONIES

IDAHO ENGINEERS ANNOUNCE

Wnon secretary OF the interior Dr
Work dismissed A. p. Davis, chic
engineer of the reclamation service
and appointed D. w. Davis, of Idaho
to act as business manager fol
reclamation projects, the announce
ment was made that there was more
need of business management now
than there Is for engineering on the
projects, and there was an implied
criticism that A.. P. Davis and civil
engineers in general had not exer.
cised business ability in their work
At the next meeting OF the Ameri.
can Association of Engineers this
criticism was resented, and the secre-
tary of the interior was censured for
Diminishing q man of know ability
like A. P. Davis and appointing In
his stead a politician and banker,
who was under fire for extravaganza
and whose own bank was closed and
his estate insolvent. The new Mr..
Davis visited all the reclamation
projects and made recommendations
for putting them on a sound business
basis, got Miles Cannon, Of Idaho,
appointed as project farmer-director
to carry out the farming parts of the
plan, and now fact finding commits
sion is working ON the whole prob
lem of reclamation to see just what
is the matter with it.
Much interest was centered on the
Idaho Chapter of American Engine
ers to see what they would say of the
matter in their convention at Poca-
tello this January. They are Idaho
men, naturally loyal to Idaho, and
it's reclamation projects and to it's
national character, D. w. Davis as
commissioner Of reclamation, and
they are also one of the forty-eight
branches of the American Associa-
ton of Engineers. Here is, in sub
stance, what they said when they
met:
The Reclamation Record has long
been the accepted mouthpiece of the
of reclamation, and has
always been considered above ques-
ton as to reliability. With the
change of administration it came
under the management of the new
men at the helm, and in recent is
sues it has been used to discredit A.
P. Davis administration of nearly
twenty years. A government publ
cation was spread thruOut the nation
last fall indicating that practically
all of the reclamation projects had
cost more than the original estimate,
and some of them cost three or four
times the estimate. All of this was
calculated to convict A. p Davis of
and had that effect.
AS matter of fact it is grossly mis- |
leading in that it fails to show that !
the cost of the original works on the
projects was about what was origin
ally estimated, but that at the re-
quest of the settlers, the works were
greatly extended. On the Boise pro-
iect it was originally intended to
build only canal. Then they de-
,ided to build the Arrow Rock reser-
yoir, and make vast expenditures on
he canal and laterals not included
n the first estimates. This was all
lone at the urgent request of the set
lers and then when the total cost
vas hard to meet, the settlers de-
handed to be released from payment
