MIR. COOLIDGE DEFENDS
DEFENSE DAY

President Coolidge, taking notice of
various criticisms of the war depart
ment's program for Defense Day, has
written an explanatory letter to the
executive secretary of the National
Council for the Prevention of War.
Though that missive may not wholly
remove the objections of extreme and
dogmatic pacifists who prefer to ig-
more unpleasant facts, it should reas-
sure moderate persons and check the
further spread of erroneous and mis-
chievous ideas concerning the pur-
pose of Defense Day.
AS Mr.. Coolidge says, the govern
ment is in no way responsible for the
notion that an effort is to be made on
September II of each year to mobilize
the nation for an imaginary war. In
times of profound peace, civil and in
dustrial mobilization on the scale ac-
tually required by war would be quite
impossible, even if it were desirable.
More properly September II might
be called inspection day. The national
defense law of 1920 contemplates CO.
operation in new ways between the
people and the small skeleton defense
establishment of the country and both
the people and the officials charg-
ed with the nations defense should
understand the present plans of the
government in connection with this
important task.
Persons who long for permanent
peace are assured by the President of
his hearty sympathy. However, while
working for peace by sane and fruit
full methods, the citizen should not
lose sight of the imperative need of
preparedness for defense against
criminal aggression. Insurance
against burglary is not condemned by
those who would like to see burglary
and theft reduced to the vanishing
point; lovers of peace cannot consist
emily oppose national preparation for
the legitimate protection of national
rights.
Friends of peace should work cease
lessly for the universal recognition of
law and justice in international rela-
tons and for the maintance of eff
fective machinery designed to insure
fair and rational adjustment of con-
troversies fraught with the danger Of
war

Older Boys Conference
To Meet At Blackfoot

There is much rejoicing among
the Blackfoot people who are inter
ested in the work of boys. The old
er boys conference for eastern Idaho
held annually under the auspices. of
the state Y. M. G. A. will be held
this year in Blackfoot.
The date for the three days con-
ference has not yet been definitely
set, but will probably be held some
time in February. Rev. ]. J. Elem
ing, pastor of the local Methodist
church, was in conference with L. E.
Goodwin, state secretary of the Y.
M. G. A., and tentative arrangements
have been made for the coming of
the boys.
1t is expected that meeting will
soon be called of those interested
and committees will be appointed to
perfect the plans. The Blackfoot
people will be asked to entertain
about 1875 out of town guests, COM
ing from various sections of eastern
Idaho.
The slogan this year is, Square
Boys, Not Square Miles, Make a
Country Great" 1t is expected that
some speakers of national repute
will be present and the three days
will be greatly beneficial to the boys
and older folks alike.

Conditions Halt Plan
for Idaho Game Farm

Idaho's- state game department
will not establish a game propaga-
ton farm on government land near
Nampa recently set aside for that
purpose, R. E. Thomas, state game
warden announced Monday, because
of restrictions placed on the land
by the government.
1t seems that the government is
willing to allow the land to be used
for game farm purposes, but re-
serves the right to put the state off
at any time in the future if it wants
to sell the land
Mr.. Thomas says the game de-
partment cannot establish a farm
under such conditions.
I'VE are anxious to build a game
propagation farm" he said, "but
want more permanent lands than
those offered by the government. 1t
is my opinion that it would be much
cheaper in the long run for the de-
partment to buy few acres Of land
then it would have something on
which to build a permanent estab-
lishment.
Not only do we want to build a
farm" he continued, "but we want
to build it near Nampa, because the
place is about as we'll located from
the standpoint of distribution as any
place in the state"

Pocatello Community
Chorus Heard Sunday

Music loving people of Blackfoot
were privileged to hear an excep-
tionally fine presentation of the
oratorio, Mendelssohn's Hymn of
Praise" by the Pocatello community
chorus at the Baptist church Sunday
afternoon. The community chorus
was organized recently and includes
forty of the best voices in Pocatello,
with Alec Simson as director; Miss
Sarah X. Thomas, soprano soloist;
William Goleeke, tenor soloist, and
Mrs. Mayme Ingard Nelson, organ
list. The Hymn of Praise" was
presented to Pocatello audiences on
two successive Sunday evenings and
the appearance at Blackfoot Sunday
afternoon marked the first out of
town presentation of the oratorio.
The chorus appeared at Idaho Falls
Sunday evening following the Black
foot presentation.

A BOY SCOUT GETTYSBURG
BY Rev. ]. ]. Fleming

by R0V. j. j. 4 loulluS
(Paraphrased with reverence, be-
lieving that Lincoln would approve
its purpOse.)
Five years and a-decade ago, a
few boy-loving Americans brought
forth on this continent new move
ment, conceived in unselflshness and
dedicated to the proposition that all
boys are equally entitled to the OPP
portunity to keep themselves "physi-
cally strong, mentally awake, and
morally straight"
Now we are engaged in the great
work of proving that movement so
and so dedicated will al
ways endure. Next Sunday we
meet to form a council of that
to dedicate this COM
to the safeguarding and de-
velopment of its boyhood, realizing
that prevention is infinitely better
than cure. 1t is altogether fitting
and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense we cannot
dedicate, we cannot consecrate the
community. The noble young man.
hood developed by this movement
has consecrated it far above our
power to add or detract. The world
may little note, or long remember
what we say in this community, but
it can never forget the service rem
dered for and by our boys. 1t is for
us, rather, to be dedicated to the
work which has thus far been SO
nob1y advanced-it is rather for us
men and women, to be now dedi-
Gated to the great task remaining
before us-that we now highly
resolve that the Boy Scout move
ment under God shall have a new
vision of service, and that the we'll
being of our boys, physically, men
tally and morally shall be our con-
secrated purpose.

PROTEST SHIPPING
OUT SUGAR BETS
Mass Meeting of Beet
Growers Object to
Present Practice

Protests against the practice OF
the Utah-Idaho Sugar company
shipping beets out of the district
where they are grown to be ground
were Incorporated in a resolution
passed at a largely attended mass
meeting of beet growers, farmers
and business men held at the cham
Der of commerce Thursday after
noon. The resolution was intro
duced by Hon. P. G. Johnston and Is
as follows:
BE it resolved by us, the beet
growers of the Blackfoot sugar fac
tory district, that we hereby protest
against the shipping away from this
district the beets grown therein; we
feel that the business interests and
ultimate welfare of this community
warrant us in making this protest;
that If the beets are not ground in
this factory which are produced
tributary thereto, there is immediate
business loss to the community; that
the longer this practice of shipping
away from here the beets produced
here is continued the more serious
will be the loss to the soil.
IF the by-prOducts are used in
this community justice will be done
our soil by giving back part of it's
strength in fertilizer, otherwise the
soil will be ultimately robbed, the
district impoverished and a serious
handicap thus placed on the future
tillers of the SOIL.
The resolution was discussed by
Mr.. Johnston, ]. H. Merrill, Philip
Dance, ]. H. Hale and others, who
pointed out the ultimate injury to
the soil and consequent bad effect
upon the business welfare of the
community, should the practice be
continued County Agent Thomas
spoke in approval of the work of the
beet growers committee and urged
upon the growers the Importance of
giving their support and cooperation
to the committee.

Receiver Asked For
Samuels Coal Mines

Interesting light on the promotion
methods of H. F. Samuels, progress.
sive party candidate for governor
with reference to the Teton county
coal mines which he sought to make
an issue in the campaign is revealed
in suit brought by Robert H. Har-
lin, former partner in the enterprise
against the Teton Coal company, q
corporation, Karl A. Reichert and
H. F. Samuels.
The suit is for the dissolving OF
certain leases and agreements enter
ed into by Harlin with Samuels and
Reichert. The complaint further
asks that Stanley Crowley of Idaho
Falls be appointed as receiver. E.
w. Holden of Idaho Falls has been
retained as counsel for the plaintiff.
The complaint alleges that Sam
uels entered into a contract and
agreement with Harlin and Reichert,
associates in the operation of the
mine, with the understanding that
Samuels was to provide the funds,
amounting. to $4,000, for the de-
velopment of the mine. In return
Samuels was to have certain inter-
ests in the mine and was to organize
d company To Uo kuOWu dS Iuo luduO
Coal company, for which
Samuels was to receive $4,000 for
the company, together
with interest at per cent on the
$85, 900.
The complaint further alleges that
the company is now bankrupt; that
operation expenses of the mine are
being paid through small sales of
coal; that checks are being written
with no funds to meet them, and
that Samuels and Reichert have en-
tered into conspiracy to cheat the
plaintiff of his interest in the prop
erty.
The complaint is a lengthy one,
with numerous allegations in detail
to the transactions of the
coal property.
