1t is singular fact that we
Californians neglect the gerani-
UNI. Fasteners envy us because
the geraniums grow up to the sec
ond story of house, and visitors
say that five-foot hedge of red
geraniums is one of the most bril-
liant sights on earth. Why don't
we have more hedges like this?
And why don't we have more and
better geraniums everywhere in
stead of coddling rare plants that
are not adapted to our conditions :?
No other plant, native or foreign,
seems to be SO perfectly at home
with us as the much-neglected gee
ranium, says the Garden Maya
zine.
Anyone who explores our foot
hills and canyons may find desert
ed cabins around which are grow
ing many varieties of geranuims
in nearly all shades of color from
white to carmine, with no hand
near to till, with no moisture ex-
cept the annual rainfall, yet seem
ing to thrive fully as well as the
average native plant.
The geranium is valuable for it's
foliage effect alone-for massing
in our dryer and more barren
spots-yet the geranium with us,
as everywhere, is distinctly a flow
ering plant, more so by far than
the Gamma and a host of other we'll
known "bedders." This neglect is
due, no doubt, to the ease with
which it can be grown.
The novelty of being able to
grow geraniums out Of doors
every month in the year appeals
very strongly to the newcomer,
who has known it only as a much
coddled pot plant, but after he
sees the possibilities of our eli
mate, something less common
something impossible of success
full growth in his eastern home
claims his attention, to the com
plete neglect of the geranium.

A girl who signs herself Mabel
asks how to get rid of an unwel-
come sutton, who is SO persistent
that no brand of snubs or even
GOODNESS of the polar variety has
sufficed to Danish, says the st. JO-
seph Mo- Gazette.
1t should be an easy matter to
look a loye-sick youth squarely in
the eye and tell him that the time
has come for him to do his roost-
ing on some other front porch and
t ocarry his little bag of caramels
to some other girl.
Perhaps, Mabel, you can't ap-
preciate the ache that gets into
the heart of young man once in
awhile. He is insane. His world
begins and ends with you. He
writes bad poetry when he should
be keeping books for the boss. His
appetite fails him, and when he
walks the streets the birds sing,
the dogs bark and even the breezes
echo the one word 'I-o-v-e." He
knows that he is unworthy; that
a century Of correct living will not
make him fit for you to wipe your
shoes on; but he has hazy sort of
idea that if he keeps on loving in
time he may wear out resistance
and that your pity may be trans
formed into affection.
That is why he comes tripping
up the steps with the candy and
the flowers; why he is kind to your
little brother, whom he privately
thinks is being reared for the pen
itentiary; why he listens to the
stories told by your respected ia
Their, who has a fine recollection of
how the battle of Bull Run was
waged, and likes to tell about it.
That lover would help carry in the
coal at your residence, or turn the
wringer, if he was asked. He is in
love. Snubs, rebuffs, hints, polite
refusals are as the signing of the
winds to him.
There is lust one thing for you

Great Old Racer

Sleepy Tom, 3S years old, and be.
lieyed to be the Oldest racehorse
in America, is still full of the fire
of colthood and is capable of linn

EDITORIAL OPINION.

When the Minidoka irrigation
enterprise was inaugurated. Ed
ward t. Barber, professor Of mathe-
MATES at the Albion State Normal
School, was one of the men who
foresaw what great country that
was destined to become, and pur-
chased piece of land nine miles
below the proposed dam, near the
mouth OF Goose creek, and built
house on it. This year be had 40
acres cleared and planted in pota-
toes. There was no water in sight
to irrigate his crop, but he drove a
well, 45 feet deep, on his land, put
in pump operated by gasoline
engine and watered the land, and
is now harvesting crop which
will amount to fully 5000 bushels
Of splendid tubers. for they are
fancy variety. We drove through
that tract Of land last winter when
Prof. BARRIERS little house and one
other was all that were in sight to
be seen for miles. Now the thriving
town of Burley, with square mile
of land laid out with streets and
city blocks, with population of
500, a railway line, with $4,000
depot and a $4,000 hotel under
construction, fine entertainment
hall completed, a SIS 900 planning
mill running, a $1,000 newspaper
plant established, and stores and
shops, eating houses, etc, in full
blast, denote the change which has
taken place on the square mile Of
land adjoining that potato patch.
That is the way things are growing
where the government has under
taken to supply water on Idaho
lands.

There are occasions when an
item finds its way into the columns
of the average newspaper which
should perhaps be left imprinted.
many unfortunate happenings come
to the attention Of the editor from
week to week which require more
or less circumspection before being
printed or consigned to the waste
paper basket as the case may be.
One the one hand the editor prints
the news fearlessly; on the other
hand he sacrifices news for senti-
ment. In the first instance his OBJ
ject is to expose an evil with view
to correcting a wrong and raising
the moral standard of the COM
munity; in the second, to avoid
making a bad matter worse by be-
ing silent where publicity would be
useless. Inc newspaper is always
moral agent. But it is not en-
tirely soulless. 1t has no desire to
give needless pain to anyone, and
when it does, it does SO uncon-
sciously. It's way Of looking at a
matter of news is not always laud-
ed from one point Of view by some,
may be condemned from another
point Of view by others. But the
newspaper does try conscientiously
to avoid offending innocent people.
Its constant aim is to serve the
best interests of the community in
which it is published -Rathdrum
Tribune.

Johnson's Crawfishlng stunts.


Hon. /. w. Bouck camesup from st.
Paul Saturday and spent Sunday
with his family in the village. He is
a member. Of the house committee that
IS investigating the charges of mis-
management of the auditors Office
preferred by Public Examiner john
son, and is also member of the SUBJ
committee which will draw up the re-
port of the committee.
Mr.. Bouck says no one can get a
correct understanding of the investiga-
ton by reading some of the twin city
papers. Their reports are mislead-
ing, and often entirely at variance
with the facts. One would think on
reading these reports that Examiner
johnson had the committee at his
mercy and played with it as cat does
with mouse. Nothing could be far
Their from the truth. When Johnson
was first called in he assumed a lofty
and pompous air, but he soon got
over that when the committee began
to ply him With questions, and has al
ready executed several crawfshing
stunts, and the committee is not vet
through with him.
Mr.. Bouck says that the investiga-
tion so far has entirely indicated
Messrs. Dunn and Iverson. His
opinoion is that the johnson investi-
cation of Auditor Dunn's official rec
ord was made for political purposes,
and on Johnson's own motion. When
the committee sought to find out by
what authority the former public ex-
arniner made the investigation he said
by the authority of law, but he failed
to show the committee any law on the
subject further than a provision that
it was the duty of the public examiner
to recommend improved methods of
bookkeeping in the Office. Then he
took refuge behind resolution of the
Legislature passed two years ago,
authorizing an Investigation, but SO
lar the ex-public examiner has not
made it very plain to the committee or
any one else just why he postponed
this investigation till the eve of an i'm
portant election, timing his report so
it would be difficult to make a reply
and counteract his false and malicious
charges. -.......-.
Before the committee gets through
investigating the Investigator, there
will be some interesting developments.
