 The attorney general said he had 10 pubic statement to make and did lot know that he would have any be fore noon. or possibly. late in the day.
 On Govt. Business
 That he expects to continue to hold lis place in the cabinet was indicated N hen he stated that he was here on government business. and expected to ienlain until that business was com pleted.
 What he might say later. AIr Daugherty indicated. probably would be in connection with the government action in the veterans bureau case. Int he indicated that what the senate oil committee might do. or announce, would have some bearing or what he might have to say himself
 The attorney general planned first to confer with department ot justice irosecutors handling the veterans bureau proceedings and then 10 so to tbe federal building where witnesses art being examined,
 sawyer There. Too
 Brigadier General Charles L. SaN- Str. in charge of Decentralization work in the veterans bureau under former Director Charles k Forbes. and for merly personal physician 10 the late President Harding, arrived on the same train with the attorney general.
 pr, Sawyer, whose testimony before the senate veterans committee last year was important in establishing he cause for legal action, was expected to be witness before the grand jury.
 Investigation Of the administration ot the Veterans bureau under Director Aorbes began here on February 6.
 Assitant Attorney General John W. Il. Grim, placed in charge of the | governments case by Mir. Daugherty ' expressed the opinion when the special grand jury was impaneled that the . Investigation would require three or l Tour weeks. Today the action went into the second day Of the fourth . week

Monkey Put Up Good Fight.

The extraordinary sight of a mon
key fighting a bull has been witnessed
at Hounslow, England. The bull,
while being taken to the slaughter
house, escaped from the keepers and
dashed off, sending pedestrians in all
directions. 1t made straight for bar
rel organ, on which monkey was per.
forming with a wand, and the grinder
rushed to safety. Jack, however,
stuck to his post, and struck the bull
with the wand before being tossed into
the air. The monkey returned to the
attack, and made fierce onslaught on
the bull with it's teeth and nails. This
disconnected the bull, who, catching
sight of its keeper, who was in pur.
suit, fed to Isleworth, where it dropped
exhausted. The monkey was unin
jured.

NOT INVENTED" BY SCOTCH
Devotees of Game of Golf Learned
Something New Concerning Their
Favorite Pastime.

We were golfing one day when one
Of the foursome remarked: 'We GER
tainly owe a debt to the Scotch for
golf.
"Why to the Scotch?' 1 queried.
Because they discovered it, invent
ed it, so to speak. Didn't you know
that?' was asked in astonishment.
"No, I didn't know it, I replied.
And when l reached home, bringing
my friends with me, I said to them,
after dinner: "Now, let me show you
fellows something apropos the Scotch
discovering golf. Read the beginning
of this article on Golf in the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, an English publica-
ton, which would most likely have
credited the game to the British isles
If history permitted, wouldn't it?'
"First played by the Dutch" read
my friend "Well, what do you know
about that?" And then, from another
article, Brought to Scotland from
Netherlands by two Scotchmen." And
then, Of course, there followed: "Golf,
a Dutch game! Well, I didn't know
that "-Chicago Daily News.

$4,000 for Advertising.

Properly hooked up, fifty thousand
dollars is not too much to spend in
advertising and developing Grant
county. This relatively large sum OF
money if wisely expended would bring
us a valuable increase in population
and pay for itself many times over
each year in production.
Our large farms should be cut down.
Farms of $40 acres supporting one
family should be supporting eight
families. Farms of 1000 acres should
be supporting ten families instead of
a landlord and a couple of tenant fam
lilies.
What would we do to spend fifty
thousand dollars? Well, years ago hun
dreds of good English and German
emigrant families came into Grant
county. They went to work on the
soil and began to produce. They help
ed make the county what it is today.
Under the new immigration law
thousands of English and Germans
will again be seeking entrance into
America. They make first quality cit
liens. Some of that money could be
spent advertising the county in news
papers of the countries where the
wanted people live.
This may sound absurd, but it is ex-
actly what Canada and other British
possessions are doing to bring in set
tiers.
The foreigner has no reason to know
anything about us unless we tell him.
AS a rule he herds in the cities be-
cause the cheap land is gone.
Grant county land is as good as
Tou1a 1o15 of a half tO q third the
price. There's another bunch there.

Real Football HFan.D

There are few men who would walk
$50 miles to witness a football match
or matches. One such enthusiast,
however, exists. He tramped from
Cardiff to Newcastle to see the game
between Newcastle United and Car
diff. He then walked to Liverpool to
watch his team play there. Roughly,
the distances are: Cardiff to New
castle $40 miles; Newcastle to Liver
pool, 1913 miles; Liverpool to Cardiff,

At DEBORAH, Iowa, $4,000 was spent

results, but it seems to be our human

sNEAKING BACK no IDAHO

An Idaho woman who moved to
California sat down and wrote the
following bit OF truthful poetry while
making arrangements to move back
to Idaho:
My wisdom teeth think I've cut.
I'm wiser every day; no more for
me a paradise 5000 miles away; I'm
sneaking back to Idaho. you may
jeer your hottest roast; I'll take the
worst that you can say. but not the
Pacific coast. don't like flowers and
earthquakes mixed. nor seas that
sigh and moan, when every night
they bring a fog that chills me to
the bone. I'm sneaking back to Ida
no in hope that / may find the para
disc / sought so far but surely left
behind. Idaho. gem of all the states.
take back thy weary child. I'll never
roam again among the land sharks
bleak and wild. I'm sneaking back
to Idaho, you may jeer me il you
will, but in my role of prodigal, you
bet I've had my fill. You may boast
about your Golden Gate, the SHIN
mers OF the sea, the beauty of your
orange groves. Idaho will do for me.
I'm sneaking back to Idaho; I'm
tired OF husks and chaff; | wonder
II some friend for me will kill the
fatted calf? / do not seek TO shun
hard work; | care not much for ease,
but Heaven defend me from the pest
those California fleas. I'm sneak
ing back TO Idaho, my heart and feet
are, sore; just let me reach that IA
Torite spot. and | will roam no
more Elk.

Twin Falls County
Fair Ground Notes
THE sHoWMENs' LEGISLATIVE
LEAGUE
Dates; Sept. 0. 10. II. ~

The question IS often asked Of the
secretary OF the Twin Falls County
fair. What is the showmens' Legis-
iatiye League and what relations has
It to the fairg"
The league is an association OF
owners and employees connected
with carniyals. circuses and outdoor
amusements Of every kind and nature
Of fairs and parks. and, in fact OF in
rested firm and persons in any way
connected with the outdoor amuse-
ment business. II has for its pur-
pose the cleaning up Of all outdoor
ADJUSTMENTS and the encouragement
OF clean. wholesome diversions with
out gambling and immortality.
Its present membership consists OF
1870 eircuses and carniyals; 32 lead
ing manufacturing and jobbing firms
Of carnival goods and Fl state associ-
ations OF fairs.
The purpose OF the association is to
eliminate all Objectionable features
from parks and fairs. Its members
carry no "Gyp" games, squeeze
wheels. spot-the-spot games, roll
downs. swinging balls, men only"
shows. kooch shows. hula-hula shows.
nor any other show or concession that
does not play fair with its patrons.
The merchandise wheel and the
corn game have met with the appro-
val Of It's members as they are classed
as trade promoters" in which prizes
are given with every play.
Thomas J. Johnson. very eminent
attorney OF Chicago. is the manager
and general counsel for the league
and has as his assistant Dick Collins.
one OF the most widely known pub
icity men in the amusement business. |
Mr.. Johnson is to the amusement |
world what Lands is to the baseball /
md Hayes Is TO the moving picture
business. He is the main squeeze"
hat has wrung the filth out of the
arrival business and Is rapidly plac-
ng the whole show business on a
Ugh plane.
Mr.. Collins is remembered by many
4 the people OF Twin Falls county
s the man who quit the carnival
usiness TO bring out the Kelly Com
dams that played the fair several
ears ago. He is billed to appear at
iany OF the state fairs for the pur-
ose OF seeing that "the line is clean" :
