CAMOUFLAGE ON
CITY MERCHANDISE
Home Town Merchants Not
Required To Pay High
Advertising Prices
And Overhead

"Camoufiage" is one of the.expres-
sive words handed down to us by the
war, but it exactly fits a similar
practice in our peace time pursuits.
We refer here to the so-called "bar-
gain of the city merchant, adver-
tised for the benefit of the little town
shopper, behind which the city mer-
chant screen his true purposes. 1t
is not his real aim to sell the man
or the woman from the country a bill
of goods at less cost than that same
bill can be bought at the formers
home town merchant; his aim is to
use the specially-priced articles as a
bait, and then sell him other goods
once he has the visitor in the
store-at such prices as will yield
sufficient profit not only to cover
the latter but bring a good return
also on the underpriced article.
It cannot be denied that in many
cases this leader" is cheaper than
the same article can be bought for
in the home town store. And the city
in urging with the eoun-
try shopper, make much Of this
point But do not let that mislead
you. If you will give the matter a
little thought you will find that in
rare instances is it a staple article
that is thus under-prieed, and even /,
# it were the situation would not be
greatly changed. In the end, you
pay well for it just the same. The
Mountain Home merchant will be
he first to admit that he cannot
meet the price at which such bar
rains" are offered and still make the
'easonable profit to which he is en-
titled by his investment. But bring

DEAD MAN IS
FOUND IN GAR
Thorpe Found Dead In Car
Along Side of Road
Heart Attack Be
lieved Cause

Deputy Sheriff Fountain was
called to Glenns Ferry last Tuesday
to investigate the cause of death OF
man by the name of Thorpe, who
was found dead in his car alongside
the road near the Rice Ranch be-
tween Hammett and Glenns Ferry.
1t seems that the man, before his
death, had been feeling I'll and had
turned off most of the gas and in
falling to one side in the seat had
steered the car off the road. The ma
chine left the road and running up
on small embarlument had stopped
and it was in this position that he
was found.
Thorpe was known about the
Ferry as having a homestead in Cam
as county and further particulars
relative to the man were not avail
able at the time of going to press
No inquest was held as it was
quite evident that he had passed
away following an attack of heart
failure.

WILL ASK FOR
SCHOOL BONDS
Board of Education Calls for
An Election On Issue OF
100000 School Bonds
For New Building

At a meeting of the Board oi
trustees OF Independent School Dis
trict No. 6, last Tuesday evening il
was decided to go ahead with the
proposed bond issue of 100000 for
the erection of a new high school
building and for making muchly
needed repairs on the present struc-
ture, the auditorium of which has
been called unsafe by several differ
ent architects.
According to members of the
board the present building is at the
present time oyercrowded and two
additional rooms have been rented
It is impossible to use the basement
of the present building and the au-
ditorium has been condemned as be-
ing unsafe II was the plan of the
board at the commencement of the
present term to add domestic sci
ence and manual training to their
courses but it was found upon inves-
tigation that they did not have the
seating capacity to handle these sub
jects, which without a doubt are
very essential in high school work
In addition, owing to the fact that
the auditorium is unsafe athletic ac-
tivities have had to be dispensed
with. Athletics in the way of bask-
etball, etc, are very essential as they
interest in the school work
as well as furnish excellent exercise.
The matter Of this bond issue may
meet with some opposition locally but
one feature that must be thoroughly
is the fact that one thing
hat is owed to the coming genera
ion is adequate educational facili-
les and this cannot be furnished
without proper housing.
The enrolment at the present time
n the high school is 96 students and
With better courses of study which
he new building will permit this
nay be increased. With the enroll
nent of 80 in the grammar school
he present building could be oc-
upied quite comfortably.

Ten Inch Vein of Gold Ore
Found On Well Known
Property Near At
lanta

According to word reaching this
city the forepart of the week vein
of ore has been struck on the over
look property, which carries enor-
nous values and should it develop
in any quantity would revolutionize
mining in this section of Southern
Idaho. 1t is stated that the vein at
the base of the tunnel now measures
ten inches and assays show value
of $4,000 per ton.
The Overlook, which is now
owned and is being operated by the
White Eagle Mining Company, is To-
Gated about sixteen miles northwest
of Atlanta on the head waters of
Black Warrior Creek They have ex-
cellent mining facilities at the prop
erty, consisting of a small mill,
saw mill and other necessary ma
chinery, but the enormous value of
the ore recently discovered now
makes it shipping proposition.
AS soon as the discovery was
made practically all of the vacant
ground in that locality was located
and the rush to secure claims in
small way resembled the gold rushee

NAVY MAY OCCUPY
OIL FIELDS JAN. |
Wilbur Believes Elk Hills Liti-
cation viii Be Clarified
by That Time.

A belief was indicated by Secretary
Wilbur yesterday that the civil lit
igation surrounding the leasing of
the Elk Hills naval oil reserve in
California to the Doheny interests
would be usfficiently clarified by the
end of the year to permit the Navy
to take over the administration of
the reserve.
Upon his return to the Navy De-
partment for the first time since the
decision of the Federal Court in Los
Angeles was handed down holding
that the lease was invalid, Mr.. Will
bur reiterated the statement he made
at Newport. 4. l., that the depart
ment was prepared to proceed with
the administration at any time, but
added that he would continue the
policy of being guided in the matter
solely by advice of the special Gov
ernment oil counsel.
The present arrangement of ad-
ministering the reserve through re-
ceivers appointed by the court will
continue, Mr.. Wilbur said. at least
until the decree embodying the de-
ciSion of the Los Angeles court is en-
tered. That is now being prepared,
1t is understood, by the court and
attorneys In the case. The form 1t
takes, it was indicated. might have
an important bearing in determining
how far appeals from the decision
might be taken, or how lon:, it would
be necessary for the rece:vership to
be continued.
The status of the oil tanks at Pearl
Harbor, constructed to hold royalty
oil from the Elk Hills reserve, but
now empty and rHsting, also is in
volved in the decision at Los An
geles. 1t was stated, and no move
with respect TO them is expected be-
fore the degree is entered and the
Secretary has an opportunity to con-
fer with the Government counsel.
