SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
SHIFTING ABOUT

please change my address, | am
moving from here to there" We get
quite few requests of this kind in
the course of a year and, of course,
we are glad to make the change. But
what we hate to get is a notice from
a postmaster to discontinue So-and-
SOS paper as he has moved away and
left no address. For we always feel
that when a family moves without
leaving an address it is a sign that
they have failed, that hard luck has
overtaken them and they want to
drop out of sight and memory of old
friends. Shifting about is habit
of the American people-just habit,
that's all To some it means greater
success, greater prosperity. But
when the shifting is done without
letting former friends back in the
old home know what the move means,
it is generally taken as an indication
that bad luck has come to the fam
lily doing the shifting. That's why
every weekly editor dislikes to get
paper marked: Moved away, no adj
dress furnished.

WHY AN EPIDEMIC OF THE
BLUES2

We shall not improve our condi-
ton by knocking. There are better
methods. Much depends upon our
mental attitude. We need to realize
that we cannot pick prosperity off
Government bushes or perfect sys-
tenn of diversified farming in Con-
gress. Neither can we repeal the law
of supply and demand.
It is true that some of our farm
ers have been hard hit and need
help. Much of the present difficulty
has come from following blindly a
system of agriculture that is unsound
and sooner or later leads to disaster.
We need to recognize this defect and
take steps to remedy the
difficulty. We shall win out if we
follow rational system of farming
and are willing to work and econo-
mize.
Our population is increasing at
the rate of about 100000 per year.

that a radical change must soon take
place If manufacturers hold the good
will of their public. We dare say
these complaints are as numerous in
every other town as in Mountain
Home. There is a general kick
against buying a car that is not
equipped with bumpers front and
back. The argument is that these
are a necessary part of the machine,
and an additional cost for them
should not be hung on to the pur-
chase price of the car. The same
is true of spotlight, windshield wiper,
sun-shade, etc. They are recognized
as necessary equipment of a car
then why are they not put on the car
before it is offered for sale? Many
prospective purchasers are asking
this question all over the country,
and it must be apparent to the man
ufacturers that it is a question they
are going to have to answer sooner or
later.

worth doing all the time. Any cam
paign worth starting in the first
place is worth keeping up. The man
who needs a Mothers Day" to re-
mind him of mother is a pretty poor
stick The man who cleans up his
yard and Yields his paint brush only
when Cleanup Week" comes round
is like the man who waits until bath
Saturday to wash his face.
The Clean Up people have an OBJ
jectiye we should try to attain the
year round They are after clean
streets and alleys. They want waste
and rubbish cleaned away from
places where there are fire and health
hazards. They want vacant lots
slicked up, public buildings reno
waited, shrubbery trimmed, back yards
tidied, notwithstanding pools
drained and cleaned and all sorts of
things of that kind. What do such
things have to do with special
week in April or in August or any
other time?
To be sure, there is some merit in
fixing date and saying, Nov all
together, let's start on this day" But
there is no merit in fixing another
time which seems to say, ION this
date STOP" When it comes to fixing
up and cleaning up, city should be

AUTO OWNERS FACE
BAD LEGAL PROVISION

An opinion of Attorney General
Conner reveals another injustice of
the law leyeled at auto owners, says
bulletin of the Idaho State Automo-
bile association. The attorney gem
eral says:
If motor vehicle is designed by
the manufacturer, or by any other
person, for the transportation of
commodities, etc., it is motor truck.
whether it is used for that purpose
or not. On the other hand. motor
vehicle not so designed, which is
used for the transportation of COM
modities, is motor truck, where
that use is the principal one and not
merely incidental.
Under this construction many
cars might be construed as trucks
For example, farmer using his car
to haul milk or other produce might
be penalized as a truck owner" SAYS
the associations bulletin. eve have
submitted the matter to our attor-
neys but expect we shall have to
await legislative relief. The present

various plans to add to the costs.

owners uniting for their own pro-
lection. 1t is only through organiza-

be on their guard. The newest type
of criminal is the one who uses his
auto for the purpose of outraging the
womanhood of the country and whose
activities are spreading so rapidly
that no section really seems to be
safe from him.
These pests in driving over the
country offer assistance to women
or girls whom they find walking
along the highways. Polite and
suave, they tender the pedestrian a
ride and, especially where she has
some distance to go, the offer is ac-
cepted in the same good faith in
which it appears to be offered. Once
within the car the innocent victim
is subjected to insults or overtures
that would make decent man boil
with rage. It is easy for the driver
to make his escape before the intend
ed victim can report the affair, and
for that reason but few of them are
apprehended,
All sorts of crime, ranging from
insults to murder, are being commit
ted by men who use the auto for de-
grading purposes. 1t is up to every
woman and girl to protect their sex
by promptly reporting such cases.
The only safe thing to do when Of
fered a ride by stranger is to de-
cline There are thousands of hon
orable men who are really sincere
when they offer to help a pedestrian
on her way But since there is no
means of Identifying them from the
ones who cannot be trusted the best
rule to follow is not to take chances
with anyone you do not know.

KEEP UP THE JOB

The national "Clean Up and Paint
Up" campaign bureau has seen the
light. In connection with its new
drive for more beautiful and more
healthful cities, clean streets, paint
ed houses and fences and all, 1t sends
this warning to its workers:
Won't you please help your
community to avoid the word
week"
The point is that cleaning up and
painting up are not jobs for week
only. The new idea is to boost for
continuous campaign" and to talk
about permanent public benefit. ="
That's sensible.
1t is sensible because most any
thing worth doing during week is

Some farmers are quitting and NOV
ing to town. They must all be fed.
There will continue to be a demand
for food products. This is the wrong
time to think of leaving the farm.
