BANKS PLEDGES
EFFICjENT JOB
Aspirant For State Treasurer
Position Announces Can
' didacy and Platform
Dan Hanks, in a statement to Idaho
Republican*, issued Sunday, in which
he announces his candidacy for theof
fice of state treasurer, pledges himself
to a faithful, impartial and efficient
administration of that office in the
event of his election The statement
is as follows:
"Following the suggestions of
friends, both in my home county of
Canyon and in various parts of the
state, who are informed as to the
character of my service in the state
department of finance, and believing
that the office to which I aspire
should be filled by a man of exper
ience in state financial affairs, I here
by announce myself a candidate for
the nomination for treasurer of the
slate of Idaho by the Republican state
convention to be held at Pocatello
With the exception of three years
in the United States army service on
the Mexican border and in France
my connection with the party under
whose banner T desire to appear has
been active and consistent through
out. My contact with the peoples of
foreign lands has only deepened niv
regard for American institutions and
strengthened my belief that the prin
ciples of government as laid down by
the fathers of American independence
and so gloriously upheld by the Re
publican party, are sacred and should
be held inviolate.
, Familiar with Problems.
l")uring thirteen years* residence in
Idaho the many perplexing problems
of state government have naturalh
come before me, both on a newspaper
man and as a state financial officer.
Among the ^gravest problems are
those dealing with taxation and state
finances. As chief of the bureau of
budget and taxation there has been
accorded me an unusual opportunity
for the study of these questions—a
study which has, I think, evolved an
efficiency along these lines tint can
not but prove of value to the people
in the office of state treasurer.
With an intimate knowledge of the
finances of the state, the relation of
one state department to another, ind
the duties of the various sta'e offi
cers, I feel I am qualified to discharge
the duties of state treasurer, both as
a state officer and as a member of
the state board of equalization, in an
efficient, economical manner.
Should I be honored with the nom
of

of
De Laval Milkers
We have recently completed arrangements with the
DeLaval Dairy Supply Co., of San Francisco, for the
sale of DeLaval Milking Machines. We claim that these
milkers are as far superior to other milkers as DeLaval
Cream Separators are to other separators. The DeLaval
milker overcomés all objections to mechanical milkers. It
is simple. It is trouble proof. A rotary pump creates
the vacuum. Pulsations are caused by gear driver slide
valve. Like the DeLaval Separator, DeLaval Milker,
installations will cost more than others, but "remembrance
of quality remains long after price is forgotten." If you
are milking fifteen cows or more it will pay you to own
a DeLaval Milker.

MOTHER OF LARGE FAMILY
IS SUICIDE AT EMMETT
Mrs. Eunice Patton Swallows Strych
nine While Conversing to
Young Man.
F.mmett.— Mrs Eunice Patton,
aged .15, mother of seven children,
committed suicide Sunday night
about 11 o'clock by swallowing strych
nine Death ensued within half an
hour afterwards. The only witness
to her rash act was DeWitt Yates.
The deed was committed near her
home a short distance north of the J.
S. Robinson residence In the north
eastern part of town. The strychnine
was in a vial and was purchased the
lay before tin the pretense that her
father, A. J. Sullivan, had sent her for
it to kill gophers. While talking to
young Yates, she drew the vial from
r dress and swallowed the contents.
Mr. Yates hastily summoned Crete
Robinson and the two with difficulty
succeeded in getting her to the en
trance of the Rank of Emmett huild
ing, where she died before a physi
cian could arrive. Coroner Rrown
after a thorough investigation of the
circumstances, decided there was no
need of an inquest.
RECLAIMING BLACK CANYON
LOOKS BETTER EVERY DAY
Emmett River Proposal Has Every
Evidence of Being Accepted
By Settlers
Emmett.—The proposed dam at
lilack Canyon looks more promising
every day, and the committee and of
ficials of the district are more opti
mistic than ever.
Despairing of securing water from
the Boise river for reclaiming land in
the Black Canyon district between
Emmett and Caldwell, negotiations
looking to joining with the Emmett
Irrigation district in the construction
of the dam have been opened by Mr.
liabb, representing holders of be
tween 40,000 and 60,000 acres of land
in the Rlack Canyon district, and it i$
expected that a definite proposition
along those lines will be made. II
such a union of forces becomes a
realty, it is estimated that the cost
of the works to the Emmett district
be reduced in the proportion that
the acreage in the district bears to the
lands that come in from outside the
district.

Alleged Burglars With Long Crime
Record in Clutcbea of
the Law
Parma.—Two supposed memberj
of a gang of five burglars, a man and
a woman, were held at Gooding Mon
day of last week as suspects in the
series of robberies which have oc.
curred in the towns along the O. S.
L. and as far west as Seattle, within
the past seVcral months. Notifica
tion was received by Marshal O. G.
Boyd of their arrest and of the fact
that a number of knives and kodaks,
articles such as were stolen in the
last Parma burglary from the Mundle
and Fisk hardware stores and the
Juries Drug Co., had been found in
their possession. Mr. Boyd at once
went to Gooding and succeeded in

Mr. and Mrs. Earl L. Lee, as their
names were given, were arrested, the
former at Burley, the latter at Twin
Falls, on Saturday, on suspicion
When their effects were searched, a
trunk- in the possession of the woman
was found to contain a Targe number
of pocket knives, kodaks, dress« pat
terns and a vast quantity of jewelry,
the whole valued at more than
$4,000, Much of the jewejry was
identified as coming from the Laugh
line shop at Caldwell, and many other
articles are suspected to be those
stolen in the Caldwell, Parma and
Wilder robberies of July 3, S and 9.
Of articles brought back by Mr.
Boyd, for identification, one knife has
been found with the Mundle cross
mark, and much of the other booty
recovered is of the same character as
that stolen from the Fisk hardware
store, although it has not yet been
identified. A handbag carried by the
woman was that stolen from the of

How much should I give
to make this a better world?
A CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53%. Andhia total gifts to church and char
ity for tho year were $148.
Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
a little better than he found itl
• Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes is
—less than we spend for daily papers
—less than a local telephone call
* —less than a third of the day's car fare
—less than 3 cents a day
No wonder that 80t of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because wo
don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever pot
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the
work of the church in a systematic businesslike way.
The Interchurch World Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better.
They have budgeted their needs; no business could have
a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dol
lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam
paigns are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women who love America
—to you— this tveek askingyou to use them as the chan
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make this a better world.
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be v -
It's a good time right now to answer that question.
We're passing through the world just once; how much
better will the world be because yott pasted through?
