A New Definition of Religion

Apostle Lyman of Salt Lake City
speaking of religion says: "And
any who are not members Of the
Church, who believe in doing right
in being honest, virtuous, and true,
these also are religious, for religion
is doing right. Never say you are
not rel gious, for that would mean
that you are notinclined to virtue, to
truth, to honesty. All will agree
with me in this. There may be
men who are infdels, who think
that men and women simply hap
pened to be, that there was no plan
no purpose, in our coming here. If
there are any such, and they still
believe in being honest, and true,
and benevolent, and virtuous, then
they are religious. Such an inhdel
is too religious to steal or lie. He
is too religious to iniure others. So
we desire all people to be too rell'
gious to swear or to use tobacco
and strong drink. 1t is true reli'
gion to abstain from what is evil
and to seek after what is good"

failed to SOW the acres of alfalfa;
and the land was consequently worth
SIS per acre less than it would have
been; AMI that Mr.. Brown had

FARMERS BUY
THE CREAMERY
The Dairy Industry to Re.
ceive Encouragement

In order to enable the farmers to
reap the pecuniary profits from the
creamery business, IS of them this
week purchased DR.. A. F. Isham's
interests in the Caldwell Creamery.
It was a move that has long been
in contemplation, but for one reason
or another has never before mater
ialized. Henceforth that institution
will be under the direct and COM
plete centrol of the farmers them
selves. 1t is proposed to run the
business on a proit-sharing basis
with all the farmers who care to do
business at this creameryas equally
intereste in the profits. The fifteen
men who bought out Mr.. Isham do
not expect to realize larger profit
proportionately to the business they
do as individuals at the creamery,
than farmer who is in no wise in
terested in it. MIR. c. G. Refner,
an experienced and highly skilled
creamery man has been hired to
manage the business. There are
no salaried officers outside of the
manager. At the end of each
month the board of directors will
meet and deduct the actual expenses
from the gross profits and the bal
ance will be proportionately divided
among the farmers who have done
business at the creamery during

grandfathers fought in the revoIu-
tionary war. Mr.. Frost's parents
moved to Tennessee, where he was
born. In I847 Mr.. Frost left his
home for the Pacific coast. During
the years between r847 and 1862 he
crossed the plains FIVE times and
frequently encountered the Indians
who were more or less ON the war
path in those days. In 1865 he
settled in the Boise river 16 miles
below the city Of Boise and in
1883 moved to Caldwell, where he
has since resided. Mr.. Frost was
a progressive, public spirited
citizen and a kind and loving
father and husband. He brought
the first mower, the first thresh-
er and the first header to the Boise
valley. And as a man and citizen
had one rule in 1ife-the golden
rule. Do unto others as you would
have others do unto you. His
death closes a life full of noble
deeds and he will be missed for
many years.
His brother, Mr.. White Frost,
is here on a visit, after a separation
of 50 years, and cheered his last
days with "reminiscences of the old
Tennessee home. -.'.>.

that month. In this way it is
thought that the dairy business can
be made more profitable to the
farmers, as the profits are given to
them. The new company is conf
dent that under the plan adopted
all farmers within a radius of Is
miles will do their business at the
Caldwell creamery. The directors
propose building up large cream
cry business. They think that it
can be made highly remunerative
to the dairymen, will practically
create a new industry and will
greatly benefit the town. With
the plan outlined above and by ap-
plying little we'll directed energy
to that end, the purpose can be
easily accomplished.
The new directors are practical
dairymen and experienced farmers.
They are recognized as honest, up
right men and all who do business
with them will be treated right in
every respect. The new stock hold
ers held a meeting in Caldwell
Monday and adopted the plan out
lined above and elected the follow
ing officers: President, c. G. Ref,
