ing it with fifty pairs of foxes. Mr..
Cready has been raising silver foxes
for a good many years and has q
place at Payette lakes, Idaho.
Thursday of last week Mr.. Cready
had six fox puppies on display in
the big window of the Boyle Hard
ware company, all one litter from
the Pocatello fox farm. They were
seen and admired by hundreds of
people and persons desiring to see
more of them should feel free to
call at the fox farm. Watch for the
sign just west of Pocatello on the
north side of the highway.
The United States government
recommends very highly, engaging
in raising silver foxes for profits. 1t
is pursuit requiring intelligent
purchasing of breeding stock and
careful handling. One should start
in on small scale and make a sue
cess in small way before ventur-
ing heavily in it.

City Water system on Meters.

Last year the city installed few
water meters and made a study o.
the advantages to city and patrons
with the result that they have in
stalled more than four hundred this
season and are still working, hoping
to get the task about completed this
fall
There has been considerable saw
ing to the city on pumping costs due
to the more economic use of water,
and an increased income due to the
liberal use of water for irrigation
during the drouth. People who had
valuable growth of trees and shrubs
and lacked water for irrigation have
used it profusely to keep things in
good condition, and paid the city
larger revenues accordingly.
People whose pipes are not prop
erly protected from frost, have had
to choose between letting the water
run during cold snaps and going to
some expense to protect against
frost The season is approaching
when attention should be given to
these matters. Most of the people
who have meters have already had
all repairs made, and others are
urged to give it attention as a mat
ter of economy and security.

The building is nicely finished in
side, with simple tints that add
beauty and develop the light in sub
dued effects.
Upon the occasion of a recent
visit to Pocatello Governor C. C.
Moore made critical inspection of
the new building. After learning
the completed cost the governor de-
clared this the most remarkable
achievement in public building that
had come under his observation
This gratifying result is due to the
active and continued cooperation of
State Commissioner Hall, Wayland
and Fennell, the architects, and the
committee of the state board of ed
ucation for the Technical institute.

Gasoline Settles 1t.

A writer in metropolitan news
paper takes the position that gaso-
line has forever settled the prohibit
ton amendment, including the Vol
stead act.
His logic is good, in the light of
the facts. There are more than tif-
teen million registered automobiles
and motor trucks in the United
States, one for every seven persons.
Is there any sensible person who
will admit that any one of these fif-
teen million drivers should be per-
nitted to drink? We scarcely think
Sc.
The locomotive engineer, who I'M
der railroad rules and discipline of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, is not allowed to drink in
toxicating liquor, was never under
any greater strain Lan the man who
is driving an automobile in city traS-
fic or on crowded country highway.
He needs a cool head, a clear eye
and a steady hand to protect not
alone his own life, but the lives of
those who ride with him.
The power of the influence of pub
lie opinion is beginning to have its
effect because at least half of the
people ride in automobiles and they
are demanding that drivers of ma
chimes shall abstain from strong
drink
The influence for sobriety will
grow with the development of the
automobile and it is already express
ing itself in more stringent laws to
punish drunken drivers. More and
more judges are sending to Jail men
who are caught driving automobiles
while intoxicated.
Gasoline is undoubtedly going to
settle the prohibition question for all
time.

Don't Go Together

That booze and a position of trust
do not go we'll together has had q
terrible emphasis in the wreck of the
trolley car at a crossing in Chicago.
The Waterman in the tower admits
he had few drinks purchased when
he got a check cashed at a dry
drink stand. The accessory to the
crime is, first of all, the man who
sold the liquor. The man who drinks
liquor while holding any position of
trust is dangerous person.
The day of the moonshine drinker
as job holder has about gone. He
is worth less money to an organiza-
ton or industry than the man who
remains away and free from the de-
moralizing poison.-Janesville Press

OUR BABIES HEALTHIER
True According To A Re-
port Just Issued By State
Board of Health on Infant
Mortality.

Madison.-Chances for Wisconsin
babies to survive the dangerous first
years are better than in any period
in the past. This deduction is made
by the state board of health from
a study of the annual infant mortal
ity figures issued today. Despite the
increase in population and small
increase in infant deaths over 1922,
the infant mortality rate in 1928 de-
clined.
The years infant death rate was
69.9 (per 1000 births), based on
4,153 deaths of infants under 1 year,
which compares with Ais such
deaths in 1922 and 4,473 in 1921.
The urban infant death rate ex-
ceeded the rural. The city rate was
TIA while the rural districts showed
a rate of 64.7. In explanation the
board made this statement:
1.-The urban rate exceeds the rural
on the face of the returns, but if all
deaths in cities, especially in hos
pitfalls, among young children, were
excluded from the urban rate, it is
likely the actual urban rate would be
lower than the rural. The reasons
for this are found in the intensive
child welfare work now being carried
on in most of the cities, and the lack
of such efforts in many of the rural
counties"
The infant mortality rates for Wis
consin cities in 1928 follow: Ashland,

Young Men Worth Finding.


There never was a time in the
history Of the world when there
was such demand for young men
for positions Of business trust and
management. The world has great
need of young men, but no greater
need than the young men have of
it.
In this day of the auto and jazz
the young man must remember
that the world is older than he is
by several years; that for thous-
ands of years it has been so full
of smarter and better young men
than yourself that their feet stuck
out Of the dormer windows; that
when they died the old globe went
whirling on, and not one man in
ten million went to the funeral or
even heard of the death.
Be as smart as you can, of
course. Know as much as you can,
without blowing the packing out
of your cylinder-head; shed the
light of your knowledge; don t
dazzle people with it, and don't
believe everything that you say is
true just because you say it is.
Don't be too sorry for your
father because he knows so much
less than you do; remember the
reply of a professor to the student
of Brown university who said it
was easy enough to make proverbs
such as Solomon wrote. Make a
few, tersely replied the old man.
We never heard that the young
man made any. Not more than
two or three, anyhow.
Your clothes fit you better than
your fathers fit him; they cost
more money, they are more stylish,
your moustache is heater, the cut
of your hair is better and you are
prettier, 0, far prettier, than
Dad"
But, young man, the old gentle
man gets the bigger salary and his
homely, scrambling signature on
the business end of a check will
bring more money out of the bank
in five minutes than you could get
out with a ream of paper and cop
perplate signature in six months.
Do not be so modest as to shut
yourself clear out; but don't be so
fresh that you will have to be put
away in the cool to keep from
spelling.
Don't be afraid that your merits
will not be discovered. People all
over the world are hunting for
you, and if you are worth finding
they will find you.
A diamond isn't so easily found
as quartz pebble, but people
search for it all the more intently.

Thursday" The Enemy Sex is
James Cruze' best picture since The
Covered Wagon" says Jesse L. Lasky
If it had been made by a man ac-
custOmed to dealing with metropolitan
subjects, it would have been conven-
tiOnal. But Cruze brought to his
work a sense of comedy and a satiri-
cal touch which makes "The Enemy
Sex" something new and vital. 81
haven't been so enthusiastic about a
picture for long time," declared Mr..
Lasky. "The Eenemy Sex" which
features Betty Compson, is a story of
a girls adventures in New York with
men of the mOneyed classes.
Friday & Saturday-David Belasco
production, "Daddies"-COmedy-with
the quality of laughter. Drama
with the quality of tears. This
play, produced so successfully on the
spoken stage by David BelascO, deals
whimsically with the experiences of
four bachelors, each of whom adopt
babies as a means of paying their
debt to their country. The myraid
complications that arise, one of which
involves the assuming of the respOn-
sibilities of triplets by a cynical bach
elor, make for a photoplay that will
appeal to all ages and classes.

newest production, "a Sainted Devil"
Fifty couples were put through the
steps of the Argentine tango under
the able direction of the star for the
big cabaret scene in the picture. This
cabaret is one of the smartest in
Buenos Aires, and, naturally, the
tango is the predOminate dance. The
ordinary ballroom extras are only
proficient in the foX-trot and waltz,
so it was necessary to train all the
people who appear in this sequence of
"A Sainted Devil"
Friday and Saturday-Louise Dress
er is featured in the leading feminine
role of the new James Cruze produc-
ton for Paramount, 'The City That

role. "The City That Never Sleeps
is an adoption by Walter Woods and
