SOLDIER BONUS
BECOMES A LAW
Presidents Veto 0verridden by Boil
Houses of Congress Men Get
Insurance Policies

Washington - The soldiers bonu;
bill finally has become law.
~The measure which has been the
subject of fight between congress
and two successive presidents, was
repassed Monday by the senate over
President Coolidge's veto by vote
of SO to 26.
This was a margin of two votes
more than the necessary two-thirds
majority as compared with the So
votes there were to spare when the
veto was overridden in the house
last Saturday
President Coolidge made a futile
last minute effort to have his veto
sustained in the senate, calling to
the White House for breakfast con-
ference seven Republican senator's.
Four of these who previously had
voted for the bill cast their ballots
in support of the executive.
They were Colt Rhode Island;
Keyes, New Hampshire; Mckinley,
Phipps, Colorado, and Ster-
ling, South Dakota. All except SEN
ator Colt were at the White House
conference. The others attending
the conference were Cameron, Ariz-
ona; Harreld, Oklahoma, and Dale,
Vermont.
The last move of the adminstra-
ton was to seek delay in the vote
until Saturday, Senator Reed, Re-
publican, Pennsylvania, asking un-
animous consent to defer action un-
til that time The senate was in
Senator Ashurst, Democrat Arizona,
no mood for delay, however, and as
objected there were immediate cries
Of vote" vote" from both sides
If the chamber.
The house had previously oyerrid-
len the presidents veto by big
vote.

FORD DEMAND rs
STILL GROWING

May has opened with bigger de-
mand for Ford products than any
month so far this year, the Ford
Motor Company announces, and the
Ford retail sales in the United
States during the first ten days of
May averages 1885 daily, exceeding
the last To-day period of the record
breaking sales month of April and
indicating the continued upward
trend of the market. Figures just
compiled show a total of 757,023
Ford units retailed to customers from
January 1 to and including May 10,
of which Ford car and truck deliv-
cries alone show gain of 102,158
over the same period a year ago.
With the increases already attained
this month and with the present out
look for business, the company an
ticipates a new high sales figure in
May.

BEVERAGE BOUGHT AS STUMP
WATER TASTED LIKE IT.

Little Aock, Ark.--Any alcoholic
liquid sold for beverage purposes
even though It was found "on
stump" where money previously had
been placed and was purchased un-
der the trade name of stump water
must assume to be whisky" the Ar
kansas supreme court said Monday
in affirming the one year peniten-
tiary sentence of w. M. Reed, SEN
fenced from Clay county on charge
of selling whisky.
Reed appealed on the contention
that the evidence was not sufficient
to sustain the verdict. The chief
prosecuting witness, Harry Hamp-
ton, testified according to the record
that he asked for something to drink
and that Reed replied that they
might be able to find little
stump water" Hampton said he
placed 50 on stump and later took
from the stump a pint of liquid
which he testified certainly tasted
like stump water"

FOURTH OF JULY
PLANS MATURING
Preliminary Advertising Matter Is
sued, and Program Committee
is Working Hard

Plans for the big three-day cele-
bration of the Fourth of July go
merrily on.
The advertising committee last
week got out the preliminary public
ity matter, consisting of large red
and white banners for cars and
trucks, and Windshield stickers. The
business men of the city generally
had their Office envelopes printed on
the back with modest (red) design
telling the wide world that Noun
tain Home would be on the map July
3, 4, and 5.
The big bills, which will also con-
tain the tentative program Of events,
will be issued within the next ten
days, and the final official program
will appear a day or two before the
celebration.
The arrangements committee has
decided that the July 3 program will
consist of some races and novelty
stunts in the afternoon, followed
with a big dance in the evening.
The second days celebration will
be marked by foot races, novelty
races, tug-of-war and such events.
and of course the big dance in the
evening.
The third day will be devoted ex-
to horse races at the track
north of town, which will be put in
irst-class condition.
or course the above program is
subject to change, but 1t is certain
than the Mountain Home visitors
will get their fill of enjoyment.
Plan to be in Mountain Home July
3, 4, and 5.

MINES SHOW
BIG INCREASE

The Republican is in receipt OF
the annual report on the mining in
dustry in the state of Idaho, issued
by the state mine inspector, Stewart
Campbell.
The report as a whole makes in
teresting reading, and shows some
changes in the banner gold produe-
ing counties. Heretofore Boise coun-
ty has been first in gold production,
but in 1922 Shoshone county
usurped her position, and Elmore
county went into second place. The
big dredge at Featherville is chiefly
responsible for our good showing.
In the tabulation by counties Ell
more is grouped with Clearwater
county, probably to camoufage the
amount of gold being turned out by
the South Park Dredging Co plant.
Emore and Clearwater counties gold
production is given as $421,723.10,
and the silver as $2,SS7O3
The total mining products for Ida
ho in 1872 are given as $2S, ,S55.-
96, with Shoshone county as the
banner producer.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
WANT FOOTBALL

This week the Republican Office
was invaded by bunch of upstand-
ing young high school students who
announced in no uncertain terms
that they wished to play football
this coming school year The boys
say that they have the material in
Mountain Home High School to build
up team which will be capable OF
giving any other school a tough ar
gument.
Personally the Republican is in
favor of the business men of the city
doing all within their power to fur
ther any branch of athletics in
which a considerable part of the
student body is interested. Football
is acknowledged to be a great game
to bring out the school spirit which
is so necessary if the institution is
to be complete success.
We also believe that we are speak
ing for the business men OF the town
as a whole when we say that we will
all cheerfully and enthusiastically
tender our support, both moral and
financial, should the boys who wish
to organize football team for the
coming season decide to carry out
the program, with the consent Of
the school authorities.

HELEN NJ. SCOTT
WORTH LEES BRIDE
Beautiful Ring Ceremony Used il
Wedding at Pence Home, Dr..
Smylie Officiating

A beautiful scene was enacted last
Saturday evening at Z o'clock in the
spacious home of Mrs. j. Pence,
when Worth S. Lee and Miss
Helen Margaret Scott were united in
marriage by Rev. DIR. Smylie, using
the ring ceremony. The bride was
charming in her wedding gown,
made beautiful by its simplicity.
Her bouquet was of exquisite pink
rosebuds.

DON'T DO IT

Someone in Washington, proba-
bly, anxious to appear busy and still
unable to find anything to do, is
trying to get parcel post rates
raised. They claim that in this way
the deficit in the postoffice depart
ment can be wiped out. The parcel
post is the great common carrier for
the great common people of this
country. It brings the farms and
dinner tables into closer touch. 1t
may not be of any great value to the
wealthy class, but it certainly has
proven itself the friend of the mid
die class and-thank the Lord-that
class is in the majority. So why in
crease the rate on something that
means meat and bread to producer
and consumer? If two-cent letter
mail won't pay its way, then raise
it. But parcel post packages, every
one of which is worth while, should
be carried at the lowest possible
rate 1t makes for competition, and
competition in the necessities of
life is world more than most any
thing else to the wage earners of this
nation.

OUT EARLY

The Republican is printed day
early this week on account of the
publishers being called out of town

think that next weeks issue will fill

: The story of how these moths were
initially introduced to America is an
epic in the annals Of our national

ago Frenchman In the faculty at

gator did everything he could to hnd
and destroy the escaped insects. He
even advertfsed>in in the newspapers and
offered; reward for. the return OF
destruction of the pests His endeav-
ors, however. were futile and a'few
months thereafter infestations by
gypsy moths developed near Boston.
The plague spread rapidly through
out the New England states and only
after the most determined and stren-
uous efforts; Of chronological science
has 1t been partially controlled.

Congress apportions to the main
tenance and upbuilding Of national
chronological operations aggregates
$1,so0.o0o. The bureau of entomology
operates seventy-five field laboratories
in different parts of tho country. The
policy Of DR.. Howard Is to carry the
laboratory to the problem instead OF
bringing the problem to the labora-
tory.
Once, many years ago, a certain
prominent congressman attempted to
ascertain exactly how much the
chronological Investigations of Uncle
Sans experts annually saved the
United States. All the leaders of
chronological Investigations sent In
estimates at DIR. Howards. request.
To be conservative, DR.. Howard re-
'duced all these estimates exactly one
half. Thereafter the Secretary OF Ag-
riculture also sliced one-half from
the figures, as did also the chairman
of the agricultural congressional
committee on expenditures. Even
after this extensive carving and prun-
ing the ultimate amount ran over
the s23,000,000 mark. Really, the
original figures ($1s2,o0o,000) were
moro nearly correct than the abbrevi-
ated estimates. for there is no other

much definite information was avail
able as the result of pafnstaking re-
search. while specialized crops on
which the plant pirates could prey
were not SO highly developed.
For the first few years DR.. Howard
and his associates waged energetic
warfare against such pests as the
cotton caterpillar, against grain
pests such as the Hessian hy-this
insect was introduced from Europe
in straw used by the Heseian soldiers
Of revolutionary days to bed their
horses during the ocean voyage to
America-and citrus pests which
were despoiling the~orange trees of
California.
Uncle Sam controlled the f1uted or
white scale. which was playing havoc
with California's orange groves by
introducing a species of lady bird
from the orient that was natural
enemy Of the scale. This activity of
science saved the citrus industry from
serious annual losses caused by the
scale insects.
Prior to 1900 the gypsy moth and

lished In the. United States. DR..
