Legation Says Republic Will Full
fill Loan Obligations to U. S.

Recent rumors of difficulties in the
fulfllment OF Bolivias obligations
with respect to the United States loan

WRITES FROM IOWA

Mrs. Bessa Semann, formerly of
Goshen, writes from Usage, Iowa,
on matter of business, and adds
that she is in a country home where
they have a radio receiving set, and
they were listening when the Black
foot Commercial club were having
their entertainment by telephone
and loud speaker at the club room in
January and heard the violin solo
at Hastings, Nebr., and heard the
president of the Chamber of Com
merce explaining about the resources
and advantages of Hastings. Then
when she received her copy of The
Idaho Republican telling about it she
felt as if she were a lot closer to her
friends at Goshen and Firth than
she seemed before. She says they
listen in on Los Angeles at times,
and she often wishes we would
broadcast something from here to
satisfy the yearning to visit with the
home folks.

AT the bedside were Mrs. Wilson
Miss Margaret Wilson, his eldes
daughter; and Joseph Wilson, broth
er; Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo ant
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, his othel
daughters, were not there. Mrs. Sayr'
is in Siam, and Mrs. McAdoo was or
her way across the continent from
California.
Mr.. Wilson died in the third story
back room overlooking the city. He
expired on huge four-posted bed, q
replica Of Abraham Lincoln's bed
stead, which he had occupied while
living in the White House.
In the final hours no one was ad-
mitted to the sick room outside Of
the doctors and the nurses, except Mr..
Wilson's wife and daughter. Three
ministers Of the gospel, including the
Rev. James H. Taylor Of the Central
Presbyterian church, Mr.. Wilson's own
pastor, who called Friday, were not
permitted to see the sick man because
Of his extremely depressed condition.
He had been profoundly prostrat-
ed" since early evening and his death
was momentarily expected. Those at
the bedside were prepared for the end.
"Only miracle can now save him."
said DR.. Cary T. Grayson, his intimate
friend and personal physician during
the last eleven years, earlier in the
evening.
Former President Wilson'S own
words were: "The machinery has
broken down." Earlier in the night
Mrs. Wilson, his constant and devoted
companion, had found the hand that
she held so hopefully, almost as cold
as death.
With the passing of Woodrow Will
son goes one of the greatest states
men the world has ever known, it be-
ing often said that he ranked next to
Abraham Lincoln.
However history may assess this
metamorphosis, it must re-
cord the fact that the years when
Mr.. Wilson was president marked a
radical diversion from the path of
the fathers.
The first Democrat since Andrew
Jackson to serve two consecutive
terms as president, Woodrow VIII
sons career in office resembled in
some respects that Of his illustrious
predecessor. Jackson was a rough,

SUGAR BEET CONTRACTS READY

J. H. Hale, of Blackfoot, and two
! other representatives of the Idaho
Farm Bureau Sugar Beet committee,
spent part of last week In Salt Lake
City, where they met with the Utah
State Farm Bureau beet committee
| to decide on q sugar beet contract
for 1924. The Idaho and Utah beet
committees agreed to hold for a Sc
minimum, $3.50 division, and the
actual extraction of sugar from the
beet Besides the above 1t was de-
cided to place on the contract an
authorization for the sugar company
to turn cents per ton from those
signing this authorization to the
sugar beet organization of the farm
bureau to be used in placing chem
list and accountant In the field to
check with the sugar company. 1t
is believed that a more satisfactory
relation between the sugar company
and farmers will be maintained
when the grower actually knows that
the terms of the contract are en-
forced. All of the above mentioned
items were agreed upon by the
sugar companies and are included in
the 1924 contract.
Last year, thru the efforts of the
beet committee of the farm bureaus,
the division of profits was raised in
favor OF the farmer adding about
$4,000 to payments on beets in
Bingham county alone. The 1924
contract means an increase over last
year of about 33 cents per ton on
beets, when sugar averages $500,
so that we think the present con-
tract is very satisfactory.
The beet committee agrees to en-
courage the growing of beets on
suitable land so that the factory will
have a satisfactory run.
1t is hoped that every beet grower
will cooperate with the farm bureau
by placing chemist and accountant !
in the field by signing the authorize
ton at the bottom of the contract to
finance this work

self-willed soldier. Wilson was in.
tellectual, "a polished schoolmaster. =
Both achieved their ends, the one by
force, the other by grace and suavity.
With the possible exception of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Wilson was at the
same time the most idolized and the
most bitterly assailed president since
Abraham Lincoln
No other president, certainly, ever
took such part in world affairs, no
other president ever exercised such an
influence upon thrones and cabinets,
upon kings and premiers. He began
smashing precedents almost immedi-
ately upon his induction into office
by delivering his address in person
to congress and finished by going to
Europe to attend the peace confer
ence. What he accomplished there
will remain for posterity to appraise.
Suffice it to say here that his two
ventures to Paris-he went first In
December, 1918, and again in March,
1919-were devoted to task of ire
mendous magnitude, that Of peace
maker to the war-weary yet fearful
nations Of Europe. Washington's
warning to beware Of "entanelinR
alliances" and the ENVIRONMENTS Of
foreign rulers was used by the presi-
dents political opponents and even
certain leaders Of his own party to
condemn the step which Mr.. Wilson
insisted had been forced upon him
by Americas entry into the world
war.
He declared that the United States
could no longer hold aloof, that it
was a world power and, as such,
must take its place at the peace table
in the endeavor to help solve the
world problems that were pressing
for solution. He said the United
States sought mo conquered terri
tory" nor negotiable indemnity, but
that its sole desire was to restore
law and order and help bind up
every nations wounds.
Upon his first trip to Paris he was
everywhere acclaimed as '.the friend
# humanity" and the man who had
'ome to put ian end to all wars"
No monarch Of ancient times was
yer accorded greater laudation or
listened to with greater admiration.
t seemed as II all Europe hung upon
he words that fell from his lips. He
