In answer to e. L. Smiths state

sion during 1920 was the cause o.
the people not paying their taxes,
If Mr. Smith will just stop and

$4,000 per ton; our beets at the We
ny best prices; our potatoes at $500
per hundred. Now, while Mr.. Smith

l think this a nightmare.
According to my opinion, the non
paid tax is due to neglect and fast
living.
Mr.. Smith says the rate of tax Is
not increased by some not paying
taxes for a year or two; l change
lone or two" to ''six or seven;' if
taxes are not increased by non pay

FIVE ACRES OF BEETS NET
JOHN AND ROBT. SMITH $1,000


How much land does a man re-
quire?" That question was asked
by Tolstoi many years ago and has
never been answered definitely. But
if one is growing beets at Marion
five acres are about enough. II
seems that the returns on five acres
Of beets were equal to those from
seventy acres of hay
Five acres planted in beets at
Marion by John and Robert Smith
will bring a return somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and s11OO. The on
ly expenses were $4,000 for help
and $1,000 for seed.
While Robert Smith was telling
about this five-acre tract in the Co
OF, a Herald reporter happened to
be on hand, taking notes. Whea
questioned as to what treatment the
soil received to induce it to respond
in such a whole-hearted manner,
Mr.. Smith stated that it was double
spring g-toothed; later it was spike
toothed twice and then leveled -
whatever that means. The editor
doesn't pretend to know what It
means, but there is one fact about
the situation that is clear erougn
sven for him to see--the psop:s of
burr valley would be IGore prosper
ous il they raised more beets.
The five-acre tract was not plow-
ID in 1929, but had been plowed
leeply in 1922.

A. BUTLER, LOCAL POET
AND COMPOSER

Orpheum theatre was packed with
people Thursday night til you coul
scarcely walk through the aisles. The
special attraction was the program
put on between shows by Hyrum A.
Buffers Oakley Entertainers. We
can't telkyou the names of all the
people who We're present-this pa
per isn't big enough to contain
them. 1t wouldn't take much space
to print the names of all the Oakley
people who were not present; but
we hate to do it. Those who could
r't come were unlucky, aud we hate
to publish bad news.
This is the part time the people
of Oakley have had the opportunity
To attend recital based on the
works of an Oakley composer. We
hope it won't be the last chance
Now that we have a taste of Mr..
Eutler's product, we want more. We
hope he viii carefully herd his flock
of Oakley Entertainers and bIihg
them before US again at date not
too far distant-with another pro-
gram. In fact, is there any good
reason why it shouldn't be made q
permanent organization. No doubt
Eurleya nd Rupert and Twin Falls
would appreciate an occasional visit
of the Oakley Entertainers.
The people of Oakley have a just
right to be proud of their rising
composer-Hyrum A. Butler. He is
the author of the words and music
&c all the musical numbers of the re-
cital; arrangement of the music WIS
by Mrs. T. b. Haynes and Miss Olive
Mcbride. both of Oakley.
Every number was cheered to the
echo. The composer was fortunate
in having first rate talent for the
rendition of his works, for this tai
ent is a sort of "middle-man be
tween composer and public.

Such results at any rate are not to be
obtained by peace" conferences. But
these conferences, by destroying the
former balance of forces only render
the conflicts between the imperialists
more acute and bring the period of
armed conflicts even nearer. We have
the example of the Washington
peace" conference, held at the be-
ginning of 1922, which, by destroying
the Anglo-Japanese treaty, created
still more acute relations between the
chief protagonists in the Pacific
America and Japan. One of the first
results Of the Washington conference
was the armed struggle in Northern
China between the Japanese group Of
militarists and the American group.
The second reason for the attacks
and intrigues Of the imperialists in
the Eastern countries is the growth
Of the movement for emancipation,
which, to no small extent, increases,
the contradictions between the i'm
perialists.
The third reason is the steadily
growing popularity Of the q. S. S. r.
among the masses thruout the East.

were stimulated by the enfeeblement
OF the opposition of China and the
protracted nature of the world war. In
1915, as the result Of threats, bribery,
and provocation, she succeeded in
concluding secret treaty with the
Chinese president, Yuan-Shih-Kai. the
effect Of which would be to transform
China into a semi-colony of japan.
This treaty. which is known as the
Il demands, contains points according
to which the Chinese government un-
dertakes to employ Japanese military
instructors, Japanese police chiefs.

for foreign affairs, not to speak of the
privileges granted to Japanese banks
