IDAHO, with the day Of general identification
growing ever nearer, stands in an enyiable
positlon among the States her hundreds OF
miles Of river representing potential total of
100000 horsepower, This great figure. which
Is based ON so per cent employment of the
water, represents about per cent of the total
horsepower of the entire country.
On January Of this year total of $50, 600
horsepower was being developed in existing
plants, which leaves a wide margin for future
development The State is also well blessed
in other natural resources, her coal fields being
estimated at 10,987 acres, her oil and gas areas
at 10000 acres, sodium at $3.50 acres and phos-
phate land $4,000 acres. In addition, the State
has 100000 acres of dry-farming land and

Which brought the nervous Spider up to the
biggest hOok-up In his career. He got his charge
to Chicago 10 days before the big 60 with the
champion. Battling SnodgrasS, leaving q trail
Of broken pugilists In his wake.
One afternoon, a few days before the fray,
Spider came back from a conference to find his
ace in a state bordering between murder and
tears. He glared at Spider.
"Cripes-if you wasn't so small" he moaned.
"Looka what you done. Kept me away with
this habeas corpuScle-and-"
Spider snatched at the newspaper which
seemed to be the cause of Bills woe. A mere
society item was what had upset him.
Rumor has 1t that the engagement Of
Muriel Van Duyl to Reginald Watts
Watts, both of New York City, will be
announced in the near future. They
have been seen much together of late,
motoring, swimming and boating.
'Well, what is all this to you?"

But Clouter was not to be convinced or con-
soled and the reaction was alarming. He
dropped instead Of smoldered as he had been
doing. He took no interest in the coming
bout-nor did he evince any interest in several
carefully worked situations in night clubs which
Spider hoped would stir him up.
An hour before the fight the telephone in
their quarters rang. Spider answered and mo-
toned to Clouter
"A lady wants to talk to you" he said I
think it's-Muriel"
The Clouter leaped across the room.
Yeah Yes. This is Bill. Well, yes, I guess
I'm glad to see you-hear you mean You're
goin' to be there to see me win? Well, I
dunno. I don't seem to care much whether I

| day when the world price WIN be SCI
In Buel1os Aires.
The vision Of the Argentines may
seem rather roseate to the American
cognizant Of the serious farm over
production in the United States In
recent years, but 1t Is presented here
without comment for what It may be
worth.
This republic has had various dis
putes with US as q result Of our tariff
and sanitary embargo policies and
tn British appear to have used these
incidents against us In Buenos Aires.
At the moment there Is no important
dispute of an agricultural nature be-
tween the United States and Argen-
tina. although agitation for certain
tariffs on products exported from
here is likely to result In increased
duties which would further annoy the
country. 1t Is well to remember.
however. that the Argentine tariff
o.. canned goods and manufactured
articles from the United States Is
very high.
The fundamental farm problem in
the Argentine appears to be found
In the fact that 30 per cent of the
cultivable land Is still owned by large
hacienderos The condition of poems
and tenant farmers on these estates
Is often little better than serfdom.
An immense amount of immtgra-
ton comes into the country and the
government has tried, unsuccessful
ly. to rout it out onto te soil. The
immigrants stick to the cities and
the pampas are short Of agricultural
labor which Is needed for the de-
velopment Of intensive farming
throughout the agricultural regions.
The same thing happened in the
United States. but here nearly all
the immigrants are from southern
Europe. Argentina dislikes to re-
strict immigration as we did, because
Of the need Of populating her farm
region. but she may come to 1t.
Meanwhile there Is q probability
that President 1rigoyen will continue
policies Of his previous administra-
ton designed to make farm life more
attractive for the poor. He is ex-
pected to continue q program of
agrarian reforms and do what he
can to create larger class of small
farmers, Of whom we have so many
In the United States.
