Sick Workers Lose
Millions, Commons
Tells Officials

American workers lose $750,000 a
year for sickness, asserted John b.
Andrews, secretary of the American
Association for Labor Legislation, at
the convention of the Government Of
ficials Association in the Hotel Con-
gress yesterday.
Andrews said that s2OO,OOO,OOO Of
this sum could be saved by extending
workmen's compensation laws to make
them cover occupational diseases. Ac-
cident compensation has tended to
prevent accidents, said Andrews, by
the introduction of safety devices, and
disease compensation would spread
hygiene measures in industry.

Nightingale Sings for Radio.

LONDON, May 22.-The sweet song
of a nightingale was broadcast over
the radio last night, enabling many
people who had never heard the bird
to listen to it's song. The birds were
tempted to sing at the right moment
by the soft notes Of cello played by
a musician in Surrey wood A micro
phone and amplifier were used to
transmit the song 10 the London

Idea of Hearing Old
Story Makes ''Dennie"
Real Sore at Strikers

Smiling faces make 'Dennie" Sulli-
van sore. Yesterday when fifty girl
garment strikers faced him in their
usual smiling good humored way
he looked fierce and put their cases
over till today. Quite apparently he
doesn't relish the prospect of hearing
the same witnesses for the garment
bosses tell the same story he has
heard scores of times.
The girls were walking on the
streets and the poor judge must sit
and listen to half dozen witnesses
say that over and over again fifty
times. Yesterdays postponement of
the contempt hearings was about the
tenth postponement of their cases and
the prospects are that the hearing will
be set over again today.
FoeII's Feet Also Cold.
Judge Foell, altho not faced with as
hard a job as Sullivan, was no more
willing to go thru with it.
He set the cases of the two girls
who came before him yesterday to be
heard Friday with the prospect that
he would then delay the hearings
further.
Cops Seize Opportunity.
Bernice Nawrocki, striker, was ar
raigned in S. Clark street police court
yesterday to answer to disorderly con-
duct because she talked to a scab who
was on her way home. The coppers,
who are still doing strike duty and
having soft time of it, seized the OPP
portunity to make an arrest. For
weeks now they have not had the
chance to do anything against the
strikers and for their friends the bosses
and they were glad to see opportunity
walking down the street. Bernice took
jury trial.

Ole HANSON, Red BATTER.
REAL ESTATE SHARK, is
NOW A HORSE THIEF

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 22.-Ev-
cry radical from the Mexican border
to Seattle was laughing his head off
today, after reading in the papers the
cheering news that ole Hanson, the
grating real estate shark and patriot
ic faker was at last arrested for horse
stealing. He was released on $1,000
bonds.
Unfortunately, the old California
law. making horse stealing punishable
by death, was changed so that Ole
may get away with his life and per-
haps, without any punishment. as all
the capitalists and panhandling pa
triotic societies will be back of him.
ole distinguished himself after the
big Seattle strike in 1919, by claiming
to have blocked the movement to es-
tablish a Soviet Republic in the Unit
ed States. He toured the country UNI
der the auspices OF Rotary Clubs and
Chambers OF Commerce and made vio-
lent attacks on the radicals for their
indifference to the laws governing
the rights Of property, but after he
was found guilty Of selling mountain
peaks instead Of fertile valleys to poor
workingmen, his stocks fell consider
ably and>he was driven out of Seattle
to the orange groves Of California,
where half a dozen suckers arrive ev-
cry minute. Ole was out to catch
them.
The role OF horse thief may be his
last turn on the public stage before
he dons the striped uniform.

RAPS INDEPENDENT
I IN i. S. POLITICS
Representative Wood Tells
League of State Clubs of
G. 0. P. Virtues.

If the government of the United
States is to endure it must be main
tanned as a representative form of
government, was the declaration
made by Representative Will +.
Wood of Indiana, chairman of the
republican congressional campaign
committee, in an address at a meet
ing of the League of Republican
state Clubs of the District at the
Willard Hotel last night. He de-
plored those citizens who prefer to
consider themselves as independe nts
in politics, or as non partiSans. For
this class. he declared, he had little
respect.
I'VE have had a fairly good oppor-
tunity during the past winter 10 get
some idea of what il means to send
so-Called Independents and non-par-
tisans in politics to Congress-" Rep
resentative Wood said. 1T has been
due to that brand Of American citi-
ZenS and so-called statesmen that
this nation has been experiencing
one of the most disgraceful periods
in its history. This unfortunate class
or statesmen has been the means of
blocking thoughtful and Constructive
Legislative work at the Capitol"
Republican Party Pride.
Representative Wood declared that,
despite what the character assassins
among the democrats in Congress
have attempted 10 make the American
people believe, the republican party
has record for honor and honesty
and for accomplishments of
which every member of the party is
proud"
If you want to see the present
prosperity continue you should then
DO your part in continuing Calvin
Coolidge as President and to bring
about the election of a republican
Congress sufficient in size to give
him the support he needs"
The meeting was opened by Edgar
{. Snyder, president Of the league
who said, among other things, that
the purpose of the meetings of this
organiza ton is for constructive con-
view to continuing in power a re-
publican President and q republican
Senate and House of Representatives
Representative NJ. O. Mclaughlin
Of Nebraska, who presided, criticized
The democrats in Congress who have

Others who spoke were Mrs. Ellen
spencer Mussey, prominent in repub-
lican activities in Washington, who
gave an interesting talk on the part
women are taking in American pol
itics. and Thomas =. Littlepage, vice
president of the league. who said the
time has come for every good and
loyal republican TO overlook the triy-
ial things and to give their honest
support to the party.
Following the speeches. a resolution
pledging support to the party and to
President Coolidge, introduced by
William c. Connor, the first president
of the league, was unanimously
adopted.

Senator Reopens Drive for State

CHICAGO, April 4.-Senator Hiram
w. Johnson said in a campaign speech
here today that appointment of Har-
Ian Fiske Stone of New York as
United States Attorney General con-
stitutes a rededication of the present
administration to reactonary princi-
pies. Senator Johnson was reopening
his drive for the state presidential
preference in next Tuesdays primary.
whatever doubt may have existed
in the. public mind as to where Mr..
Coolidge stood in the national strug-
gle between the forces of progress
md reaction was dispelled by the ap-
pointment of the new Attorney Cen
eral," Senator Johnson said. The
new chief of the Justice Department,
child ,of the prosperous east, may he
relied upon to look with tender SYM
pathy upon the problems of the east;
but to whom are the debated farmers
.of the west to look for support of
their cause?
Called Parting OF Ways.
"A parting of the ways was reached
in the appointment of a new Attor-
'ney General, under whose jurisdiction
the governments fight for return of
its plundered oil lands must be made.
On the one hand stood the candidates
of progressive thought, on the other
the representatives of the old guard
school. The President, admittedly
unmoved by any thought of political
keXpediency, made his choice. 1t was
a rededication of the administration
TO the cause of reaction"

LOCAL MEN WILL HAVE
CHANCE T 0 B u Y
COWS AT BARGAIN

On account of theextreme drouth
in many parts of Idaho. Oakley val
ley farmers will have an opportunity
to buy dairy cows at a bargain this
year. The Oakley project will be
far better off for water this year
than the average irrigation project
in Idaho. Prospects are that we will
have at least fairly god crops.
But local farmers should not send
pound of hay off the project, no
matter if they are offered thirty dol
lars a ton. Nor should hay be sold
on the ground here to herds brought
in from the outside. Local men
should buy sufficient cattle and 9TH
er livestock to eat up all the feed
produced here this year. Chances
are that very high grade livestock
can be bought at very low prices this
year and that the same stock can
be sold at very high prices next year.
This is especially true in reference to
dairy cattle. Our opinion in this re-
spect was reinforced by a converse
tion with County Agent Barber last
Saturday night.

BIG RAIN IMPROVES
OUTLOOK FOR CROPS
ON OAKLEY PROJECT
Six Inches Snow on Level at
Bostetter Ranger Station
Last Wednesday

There was "a inch rainfall at
Oakley last week, beginning Wed
resday evening, May 2S, and ending
Thursday evening, May 20. The
mountains surrounding Oakley were
white with snow down to a rather
low elevation. Six inches of snow on
the level was reported in the east
mountains as well as the west noun
tains.
The precipitation at Bostetter
ranger station, in the west noun
tains. twenty miles from Oakley,
was 70 inch. The snow was six in
ches on the level here. The rang in
the west mountains is reported in
:. good condition.
There was a small rain I'm some
other parts of south Idaho, but Oak
ley Jared much better than other
places.
Prospects are now fairly bright
for good crops on the Oakley pro-
ject this year AS much can be said
OF very few projects in Idaho this
season.

that the sugar beets are coming fine

South Sea Flappers
Flap More Than Ours

The modern American flapper is
tame sister compared to the South
Sea island girl of the same persua-
sion, according to members of r. A.
Walsh's Goldwyn company which
made Lost and Found, coming to
Orpheum theatre, Oakley. on June
13 and IA.
If you wonder how the flapper
tween cocktails and cigarettes, and
then get up in the mornig for a game
or golf, you would be amazed at the
hardihood for jazz which the dusky
and seductive Polynesian maidens
show, said House Peters, Antonio
Moreno, George Siegmann and Di-
rector Walsh upon their return from
the island
TITS dance, dance, dance from
morningtill night" exclaimed the
volatile Tony Moreno, with an ex-
preston registering that he could
not hold the pace. And Tony is ath-
letic too.
The equatorial flaprer isn't keen
on ballroom dancing as we know it,
but she can turn loose a tornado and
q sirocco whe it comes to the hula.
The spirit of fun runs riot in her
blood and she is not bound by the
conventions of clothing. 1t must
not be gathered, however, that the
fair maidens flaunt their charms to
the gaping public. On the contrary,
one member asserts that the Ameri-
can and South Sea flappers may be
sisters under their skin, but that the
latter brand displays less of the cuti-
Gle than the former.
Dancing parties last for three or
from the islands made
famous by Frederick O'Brien, Som
srset Vaughan and other writer's.
The girl question in the South
Seas is complicated by the fact that
here are about ten women to every
nan. Perhaps the word ''complica-
ed is used inadvisedly, for many
nen would say that this was an ad-
nirable solution.

ourneyed to Tahiti to film Lost

"No More Heather"
Says Salvation Army

1t is reported in the daily press
that the Salvation Army has decided
that heather" is too rude a name
to apply to peoples, many of whom.
it says, have a civilization older than
the Christian religion. Those who
have been heather" heretofore are
now called Christian"
A good move The fact that
man is ready to call members of
other faiths harsh names is no indi-
cation that he is sincere in his be-
lief in his own faith. Even suppos-
ing you should apply to the stranger
name more courteous than he de-
serves-is it thing to lie awake

RECORD CROWDS
WERE IN OAKLEY
SAT. AFTERNOON
Strong Sentiment Favors
Making Community. Sales
Permanent Institution

The largest crowds that have beer
in Oakley for many Saturday were
here last Saturday evening for the
community auction sale. The sale
was conducted under the auspices OF
a number of local business men. ].
Mercer and l.. W. Sanberg were
persuaded to act as auctioneers
while our marshall, Seth Harper,
was clerk
Quite an assortment of articles
was brought in and most of the
things sold. The farmers expressed
desire to have the community auc-
ton sael made a permanent institu-
tion-one twice a month, Off in
stance. One man told the editor
that he had five hundred dollars
worth of articles that were huseless
TO him but which might be valuable
TO somebody else.
There is strong sentiment among
local merchants for having a com
niunity sale twice a month. One
days business was the larges bbusi-
ness he has ever had on Saturday.
and his average Saturdays business
is quite large at that.
The success of the first commu-
nifty sale was due to three things:
advertising in The Herald, personal
work by Oakley business men and
cooperation on tn part of the pub
lie. With such a combination, al
most any community project would
succeed.
Among the out-of-town visitors at
the auction sale were:
