WHAT IT DOES

Col W. G. Edens, an official of
The American Bankers Association,
is authority for the following words
of wisdom:
America has the best life on this
earth because it has the best ad-
vertised life. American bushes men
are the most prosperous because they
advertise what they have to sell.
American buyers are shrewdest be-
cause they read the ads and know
what they are getting. Banking has
made more rapid progress in the past
Is years than ever before because
banks have advertised and are now
advertising more. The banker pub
fishes facts which build up conf
dence in his institution. The result
has been millions of people who used
to be afraid to trust bank have
come to know that the ads they read
are true, and they are now regular
depositors"
Did it ever occur to you, Mr..
Mountain Home Business Man, that
if advertising is good for bank it,
can be made to boost your business
just as successfully? Think it over.

ARMS TO MEXICO

It appears that your Uncle Sam
has started a good deal of talk by
shipping guns, ammunition and air
planes to the Mexican government
to be used in putting down a revo-
luton. There are some few Noun
tain Home citizens who do not agree
with this policy, though admitting
it may turn out to be for the best.
Maybe it doesn't look right for a ma
ton to preach peace and then en-
courage war. But in this case it
appears that the best way to restore
peace in the family of neighbor
who has really been trying to be
peaceable is to help him end his war.
Maybe, too, it will bring the warning
clans OF Mexico to realize that when
the U. S. says it will go long way
to keep peace on this continent, it
means what it says. At any rate it
is hard to see wherein any harm can
ever come from helping nation that
is trying to be good in it's attempt to-
instill peaceful ways and respect for
law in a few of its misguided resi-
dents.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
NEW CORN EMPIRE

They're sending a lot of attrae-
tive literature from Canada these
days, some of which has been coming
through the Mountain Home post
office. It goes on to declare that
Canadian wheat has won IL out of
10 international prizes, and that up
in Alberta they have found that corn
growing can be carried on more
profitably than anywhere else in
the world. They paint pretty pic
ture of the millions OF acres lying
there idle and waiting to feel the
touch of pillow. Possibly this liter
ature, sent out by a railroad COM
pany that is anxious to get more
settlers along its lines, will appeal
to some people in the U. S. Maybe
some will sell their holdings and go
up there to take chance. But we
don't look for any wild scramble.
Farmers might be far better content
in this nation than they are; no
question about that. But they are
sensible men, and you can always
rest assured that before they make
a move they are first going to know
to a certainty whether or not they
will be jumping from the frying pan
into the fire.

Thursday evening of last week Dan
Owens, carrying two pals of water
from the ditch through the alley to
his house, fell on the icy ground and
seriously injured his hip and has
since been confined to his house. APP
parently the old gentleman had
struggled to rise, and but for Mr..
Sears, from the parsonage, observing
a strangeness in the object lying on
the ground, he might have frozen to
death. AS it was the reverend rend-
cred first aid by carrying the injured
man indoors, where relatives are car
ing for his wants.

A crew of Gilmore county road men
began work Monday morning repair
ing that part of the Mountain Home
Bruneau road known as Wilson's de-
feat one of the most dangerous
spots on the entire route because of
the steep grade and very sharp turn.
1t has been suggested that a change
in the road at this point would be
more desirable, running to the south
from a beginning point couple of
hundred yards east, which would
eliminate the grade almost entirely.
It means only few hundred yards
of new road at most, say those who
know.

A terrible sound smote the atmo

he pulled into the station, cast dark
looks upon his Fireman; the city po-

Hydro Plant Project
Draws Attack From
Edwards in Committee

Indications that strenuous efforts
will be made to prove that the
construction of a hydro-electric
plant at Great Falls, designed to
furnish Washington with cheaper
lighting facilities. does not smack
of Government ownership, were
given at a meeting of the full Sen
ate District Committee today.
Informally taking up the Norris
measure, which proposes the hydro
electric plant, Chairman Ball elab-
grated upon its manifold advan'
tages to the District and stated
that hearings win be held upon it
as soon as the five-cent fare sub
committee meeting had been con-
cluded.
Edwards Opposes.
Favorable disussion regarding the
Norris measure by Chairman Ball
and Senator Capper, of Kansas.
drew fire from Senator Edwards, OF
New Jersey, who fatty declared that
he is opposed to the measure II 1t
means the Government is contem-
plating competing with private in
terests.
Senator Capper hastily assured
him that the Great Falls hydro-elec-
trio proposition is one which could
be handled only by the Government,
inasmuch as it involves franchises
which control the national capitals
water supply.
Senator Capper asked Senator
Edwards II he would not look into
the proposition closely and told
him he was certain after he had
Investigated fully the measure that
he would approve it.
Private Interests Busy.
1t was made plain at today's
committee meeting that represen-
tatives from the local gas and
electric companies are hard at work
in a desperate effort to cause the
defeat of the Great Falls project
and are besieging clerks of the
committee with requests to be
heard by the subcommittee which
will have the measure in charge.
Senator Capper pictured the pos
sibilities for the Government in the
harnessing of Great Falls and
frankly declared that were it not
that the land rights are Federal
owned, some private company long
ago would have stepped in and de-
veloped it along the lines contem.
