An Insult to the Army
1t is impossible to imagine a
more serious charge by one branch
of the Government service against
another.
The main peg upon which this
outrageous charge of fake appears
to be found is the fact that in.
assembling some OF these films the
flight of one bomb through the air
was hooked up with the subsequent
explosion of different bomb. In
truth this was a perfectly harm
less and trivial fault. Both the
flights and the explosions were
accurately pictured. The explosions
were the principal points. They
were truthfully pictured. They

clared that '"The bomb that sank

section publish Gen
Williams remark? If not, why
not? Has it shouted fake" and
withheld the generals declaration?
II so, it has not told the whole
truth. Has it Informed" the
people or has it deceived them?
These charges against the Army

and insulting. They are unfair, un-
generous, and in violation OF naval

THRESHING FINISHED
IN HANMET SECTION
Local Threshing Outfit Re
turns From Hammet After
A Very Sucessfull
Seasan

E. A. Vance, manager of the Noun
tain Home Threshing Company, re-
turned to this city last Monday with
all of the machinery after a very
successful threshing season in the
vicinity of Hammett and at the pre-
sent time the outfit is located at the
Tom Moore ranch. 1t is predicted
that ten days more will finish up the
threshing in this immediate section.
An excellent yield of clover seed
was harvested around Hammett, but
the crop of alfalfa seed was not up
to expectations This fact is attribut-
ed to a bug which it is said to have
burrowed into the pod and destroyed
the seed. Henry Koch harvested
twenty-five BUSHELS of excellent clo
yer seed from two and half acres
and c. F. Smith harvested eighty
BUSHELS of clover from his ten acres.
A good price is being paid this
year for clover seed and with a good
crop around Hammettt this should
be very prosperous season for the
farmers.

About five feet per day is the pro-

we'll and the bit no wstands near the
1926 foot level. They are now in a
hard formation, which Mr.. O'Conner
believes to be the bottom of the lake
bed and it is expected that should
they find either a coarse sand or gra-
vel or lava that they will soon en-
counter an artesian flow.
At the Village Council meeting last
Tuesday evening Mr. O'Conner made
his report to the city dads and they
seemed to favor the idea of continu-
ing drilling as long as satisfactory
progress was being made It seemed
to be the eoncensus of opinion that
inasmuch as they were at the depth
that they are now it would seem fool
ish to abandon the well when they
might possible be within striking dis

YIELD
OF RED onions
Local Farmer Demonstrates
The Fertility Of The Soil
In This Immediate
Vicinity

Clearly demonstrating the fertile
~ OF the soil In this section and
proving beyond doubt that a good
pront can be realized from the rais-
ing Of potatoes and onions, is the
small plot that was cultivated by
Fay Bailey this year,
Mr.. Baileys garden OF two and
hall acres produced for him an aver
age OF a carload OF onions of the very
best quality to the acre. Locally Mr..
Bailey disposed of a part OF his crop
at a price from two and a half to
three cents per pound and should he
be able to market the entire crop at
this tigure il can be readily seen
What q proht ne would make from
the 10000 pounds which he harvest
ed. He is now making negotiations
Tor the sale Of the remainder of his
crop,
IN addition to his onions. Mr.. Bal
ley now has a crew of men working
on the digging OF about twenty-five
acres of potatoes which will average
about one hundred sacks or approxi-
mately one hundred and sixty bushel
per acre and with a steadily raising
potato market he will no doubt re-
'eive a good price for this crop.
Mr.. Bailey's experience this season
should convince local farmers that a
much better profit can be realized
rom crops Of this sort rather than
o raise hay, which is now selling in
ne neighborhood of seven and eight
iollars per ton.

Men

The Civic Club, of Mountain

last Tuesday evening by serving a
cafeteria supper to the public and
a banquet to local business men of
all Idaho products. Their excellent
menu proved surprise to many as
it was not generally known that Ida
no produced so much food stuffs.
About fifty business men partici-
pated in the banquet and after the
meal was concluded, H. L. Braden,
president of the local chamber of
c o m m err e, introduced Architect
Scott, of Salt Lake City. Mr.. Scott
is one of the architects employed by
the local school board to draft plans
for the proposed new high school and
he has also made an extensive study
Of the condition Of the present build
ing. He told of the local business
men that the auditorium in the pres
ent building was unsafe for use and
also pointed ou tother defects, which
were more fully explained in his re-
port to the school board, which was
published in this paper sometime
ago. He stated that the floor of the
gymnasium had sunk six inches in
some places Mr.. Scott also gave an
excellent description of the proposed
new building. the plans of which are
on display at the Office of A. F. An
derson.

TURKEYS BRING
BIG RETURNS
Indications Point To Strong
Market For Birds Both
For Thanksgiving And
Christmas

All indications point to a strong
price for turkeys for the family tab
le on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The rayages of disease and cold
spring weather have depleted the
numbers raised in the big growing
western states and the low market Of
1924 has caused a smaller crop from
Texas.

bers and condition of the trukey crop
in California shows that the crop

Plans Made For Financing
Of Repairs On Local Irri-

Systems

At the present time there is a
large crew of men at work on the
local irrigation system. both on the
canals and the reservoirs and the
farmers of this section will be as
sured of no loss of water this coming
spring as a result of neglected work
and repairs.
o. E. Norell, secretary of the
Mountain Home Irrigation District,
was in Pocatello lasr Tuesday and
was successful in making satisfac-
tory arrangements with the Brady
Investment Company and the First
National Bank, of that place, to
finance the necessary repairs on the
systems which is now being done
under the management of the dis
trict. This will assure the compile
tion of the work outlined as neces-
sary to be done this fall by Engineer
Spofford, and weather permitting,
the same will be pushed as rapidly
as possible so as to have it complet-
ed before the cold weather starts.

Sixteen Year Old Girl Is
Enticed Away From Home
BY Young Man Cannot
Be Located

The residents of this city were
shocked this week when the an
nouncement was made of the sud
den disappearance of little Miss Theo
Magden, sixteen year old daughter
of Mrs Minnie Magden, of this city.
This matter has been taken up by
authorities throughout the North
west and as yet no word has been
received as to the whereabouts of
either the girl nor her abductOr.
A week ago last Tuesday afternoon
Theo left home, telling her mother
that she was going over to visit with
an aunt, where she stayed for short
time and left there with the word
that she was going up town and from
that time on nothing has been learn
ed of her. The girl is about sixteen
years of age and when last seen was
wearing a dark house dress, a pair
of tan slippers. a black hat and
brown coat. She weighs in the neigh
borhood of 12O pounds and is es-
pecially attractive as she always
wore her hair in long curls down
her back. She was a student at the
local high school this being her fresh
man year.
A day or so before her disappear
ance she received four postal cards
from man, who stated that he
would be in Mountain Home on the
day that she disappeared and earlier
in the day this stranger met her
younger sister on one of the side
streets and inquired as to the were
abouts of Theo. 1t has later been
learned that he drove into this city
in a Chevrolet Coupe, bearing a Cali
fornia license and from the meager
description that is available is said I
to have been in the neighborhood of
twenty-three years of age, about five
feet ten inches tall, dark complexion |
and wore at the time that he was last |
seen a dark brown suit
1t is not known in what direction +
the car left upon its departure from
Mountain Home
Tt is presumed by relatives Of the
girl that she first met the man while
she was visiting relatives in POea-
-ello and he had been in this city on
various occasions.
