toward the left again. Much also de pends upon what happens to the demo- crats.
 If they brace up, make their party a vital vehicle of progressive policies, they will cut in heavily on La Toilette, because they are older, better estab- lished, and have the great bloc of south ern states as nest egg. If they decide to contest the conservative field with the republicans, the outcome will be uncertain. Some think that this course would ultimately lead to the disappear ance of the democratic party--or its reduction to geographically local party based on the south. These persons be- lieve that the conservative votes would gravitate to the republicans and the progressive votes to the La Toilette group.
 But whatever changes occur will be slow ones. So far as can be seen now, we are entering upon calm sea upon which we will sail smoothly for some time to come What storms or reefs will be encountered in the distant flu turc only the gods can tell.

MENTONE. Trance, Dec. 27.-"I am prepared to meet in due1 any one whom have personally attacked in de- lending the liberty of my country" declared Vicente Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish author in referring today to the numerous challenges which he is reported to have received in consequence of his published criticisms of King Alfonso and the military directorate.
 In an interview last Wednesday Ibanz declared that he would fight only Alfonso and Primo Rivera, the military Gictators. The author appeared to have changed his mind somewhat regarding his potential opponents on the field of honor, although he qualified his newest pronounciament by stating he would. not enter into personal combat with sub StituteSo

 Ry,rnor,

 CHICAGO. Dec. 27.-American agri- culture faces 1925 in an optimistic frame of mind Many of the economic nal adjustments. which depressed our great basic industry following the war, have been adjusted. The crop year from July 1, 1924. and which will end June 30. 1925, will be, generally speaking, a good year.
 There has been a general improve ment in agriculture throughout the na- tion. In some sections, particularly Montana, North Dakota, Kansas, Okla homa, Arkansas, Mississippi, AAlabama and Georgia, this improvement has been very marked. However, this great i'm provement is far more sectional than national. In some states there will be considerably less cash income than in the crop year of 1923 and 1924.
 Late Months Favorable
 The late fall months have been ex- ceedingly favorable to agriculture. Good maturing weather and continued up- ward trend in farm prices, generally speaking, has added much to the opti- niistic tone of farmer thought.
 Estimated gains in cash income to farmers since August 1 of this year are now $1OOOO0,000. This increase is ac- counted for largely by wheat. On Au- gust 1, the wheat crop was estimated at 775. .OOO, ,OOO bushels with an estimated sales value of $79O,OO0,OO0. Today the estimates show for the wheat SW,OO,- 900 bushels while there is confident feeling that the cash sale to the farm CTS will amount to well over $9OO,O ,OOO,- 900.
 Down south in the tobacco country some of the early enthusiasm has been dampened The tobacco crop is turning out less than earlier estimates indicated and prices at which, tobacco is moving are below last year.
 Potato growers are another group that are receiving less than they hoped for. Their losses, however, are not 0c- casioned by poor crops, but by too large yield, which is depressing the market.
 Sectional Gain.
 | All in all, we feel quite certain that when the present crop year ends on July |, 1925, it will be found that all farming sections show a greater income with the exception of the Pacific coast and the tobacco growing states from Kentucky eastward.
 That section of the country that lies east of Missouri and North of Ohio will, no doubt, show small increase over last year. From Montana to Kan sas, the hard wheat belt will show the greatest gain-an average of at least 50 per cent increase for these five states. Down in the cotton belt, there will be four or five per cent greater cash in come over the entire district, with Okla homa and Mississippi particularly fla vored, due to a bumper cotton crop Tn both states.
 The Blue States.
 Nineteen twenty-two, 1923 and 1921 were particularly hard years on our northwest They were the blue states of agriculture. That feeling is disap- bearing. Up in Montana the good wheat and oats crops, and a rising market for hogs, will bring this crop year cash income p per cent greater than last year.
 North Dakota is by far the most out standing state in the union in percentage

Only A Few Puddles Left Of Nations Sea Of Booze,
 Says Wayne B. Wheeler
Year Has Seen Marked Advances In Prohibition,
 Declares Dry Chief-Death Rate Is Reduced And Savings Increase, Statistics Show; Further Accomplishments Are Predicted.

before the senate, which will probably adopt it with few amendments. Legislative plans for the new year will include the recommendation of an educational program to secure co-opera- tion for the government through the use of posters, to secure deeper respect for law and order. The Stalker bill to increase penalties and the bill to deport aliens who violate the law are on the 1925 programI
 Death Rate Lowered t-.
 The effectiveness of prohibition is registered in practically every variety of statistics kept by any public of ficials. The death rate has steadily. re- mained far below the average rate for the license years. the reduction being equivalent to the saving of a million lives since wartime prohibition went into effect. Beer and booze, were the deadly foes of health.
 Drunkenness arrests today are 50O,- 100 fewer than in license years, accord ing to students Of social data. Crime has decreased, there being 5000 fewer inmates in penitentiaries last year than in the preceding one.
 Delirinm wards in our hospitals are no longer overflowing. Alcoholic in sanity has dropped two-thirds. Drink cures number one-tenth of their former total. Charity finds only one-fourth as many cases of proyerty in which in temperance is factor.
 Instead of packing barrooms, prisons, asylums and poorhouses, the American people are buying autos by the million yearly, spending $20O, 100000 annually on outdoor sport, besides nearly half billion for golf courses and equipment, running up weekly bill of over 10 million dollars for the movie and invest ing many other millions in other forms of entertainments which replace the saloon.
 Savings Increase
 Our greatest business authorities all most unanimously attribute to prohibi- tion | large share of the credit for the | existing prosperity. The monthly in crease in savings deposits totals mil lion dollars while other forms of savings and investment take 30 million of the daily income of POO milliors. Insurance companies each month sell policies for 2 billion dollars All phases of legiti- mate business have been stimulated since VIC began spending ins' cad of vast ing the former annual drink bill of over $2,OOO, ,O0O, ,OOO.
 The nation is not fully dry. It took longer to dry the earth after Noah's flood than after a summer shower. We were drowning in liquor when the pro- hibtition dam was built. In place of that sea of booze whict--once covered the nation we have only a few puddles left. Even these are being mopped up and 1925 will be the driest year in any nations history.

General COunSel, AHth-SoiUVu Ae"Sgo
 WASHINGTON, D.. O.. Dec. Z.- The marked advances made by pro, hibition in the year now closing afford the stepping stone from which It Will advance to even greater heights or achievement in the coming year.
 Probably the most significant event in the mast 12 months was the Novem- Der election when the reaffirmed by vast majorities their endorsement Of prohibitiop/and their desire for its bet ter enforcement. In spite of the opposi- tion of the wet forces who conducted a publicity campaign, national in scope, the dry forces elected 320 candidates in the 435 Congressional districts. The liquor supporters made 174 endorse ments but could elect only S2. Of the 262 candidates opposed by the vets, 21G were elected. Of the B senators re- elected, 17 are counted as dry, one is out-spokenly wet, two others will vote for law enforcement while all but two of the 13 newly elected senators are counted favorable to prohibition enforce ment.
 The dry forces in state legislatures have been strengthened, ensuring the uCACdt Ol any pIOpOouAo " eAS law. Increased enforcement legislation has been adopted in many states.
 Congress- has adopted legislation in response to the majority will for better enforcement. The increased appropria- tion for prohibition enforcement and the coast guard, enabling that service to stop rum smuggling and the ship trea- ties with other nations, authorizing us to seize rum pirates under other flags have been the most important measures adopted. The concentration of liquors in few warehouses is another significant development in the closing of sources for bootleg liquor. Another law auth prizes storage of seized liquors in gov ernment warehouses.
 The Cramton bill which plans to centralize prohibition activities for any failure of enforcement, place prohibition agents under civil service and halt the diversion of alcohol to the illicit trade, passed the house at the last session by vote of 275 to 86. This bill is now

Editorial

The Bruneau Roundup begins or
Thursday October 2, and lasts
through Saturday, and it has been
decided that Friday will be observed
as Mountain Home day.
This event has been looked for
ward to by the Mountain Home peo-
pie, especially the grade and high
school pupils, and there will natur-
ally be tendency among the pupils
to miss school and attend the Round
Up on that day.
Such a tendency should not be de-
veloped, however. because the pupils
would not be doing their duty toward
themselves or the school.
The schools are maintained for our
benefit and we should show our APP
probation for them by being good
sports and staying home on Friday.
If plans have been made to attend
the Round Up. it would be better to
arrange to go on Saturday. By do
ing so, we will not miss school and
may attend the Round Up, too.

Ourselves of Dreams

1t matters not how many dreams
or adventures one has had there is
still dream of more adventures;
new countries that beckon, no mat

The dream of your self is a great

in this every day life.
Though ones dreams are his own
secret the story writer is a recorder
of dreams, his dream and yours,
made into fascinating stories by the
dint of his imagination.
Consequently when you encounter
we'll written book or story, you
meet yourself transformed And for
the time you become ambitious, sue

roast held at the Eureka cave about
eight miles east of Mountain Home
on the Hot Springs Road
On the trip out one of the hay
racks on which the merry makers
were riding lost tire forcing a
large number of the persons to en-
ploy "shanks ponies" up the sleeper
inclines.
Tired but happy and hungry the
"joy-riders' arrived finally at their
destination where a pleasant period
was spent in disposing of the
weinies, pickles. and coffee which the
Junior class had brought.
Following an exploration of the
cave which is a fine example of the
wonders of nature in its primitive
state, the upper elassmen commenced
the homeward journey which was
largely uneyentful, but which was
marked by much singing and general
noise.

yer he turned and advanced up the
tunnel.
Arriving at the farther end he
gazed out upon small valley wav-
ing with green grass, dotted here
and there with cattle, groves OF
quaking aspens and willows.
No human being was in sight but
almost in the center of the valley
several houses were scattered around
large pole corral.
He led Silver to a nearby clump
of willows and left the wounded to
recover knowing she was only slight
ly hurt.
Then carrying his gun in his
right hand he proceeded to explore
the valley
He headed for the cabins first
keeping to the willows and aspens so
as to be as ineonspieuous as possible
He soon reached the cabins. Skirt
ing the corral where several horses
stood he directed his steps towards
the largest and most conspicuous of
them.
The place looked deserted. His
caution dropped a degree or two. He
eased his gun into it's holster still
retaining hold on it for instant ac-
ton. He advanced to the door, pulled
the latch string, showed it open and
with quick forward step followed
it.
More quickly it seemed he stiff
fened and plain establishment was
written all over him. His hand grad
lally slipped from his gun as he
raised them towards the ceiling, for
across the room, with the chair she
was sitting in tipped back against
he wall, two guns in her hands, was
he masked rider of the roam horse.

memorial which will not only serve
as an inspiration to the youth OF
Idaho during their most impression

bodies and train the young men for

story of the last soldier and sailor.

this collection will be priceless.
