The Folly of 1t.

The early part OF last month
some religious crank started
what is known as an endless
chain of praper. According to
the plan each individual was to
pray consecutively nine times
the following prayer
80 Lord, Jesus Christ, we i'm
plore Thee, o Eternal God, to
have mercy on all mankind,
keeping us from all sin, and TAX
ing us with Thee through all
Eternity"
He that should receive the
prayer and offer it nine times in
succession, should write the
same nine times sending it out
to nine other individuals, each
of whom should do the same
and thus it Ego on indefinitely.
The fulfllment of the request
should bring great blessings
while dire calamities were prom
ised those who failed or refused
to comply.
This senseless proceedings was
said to have emanated from a
celebrated Episcopal bishop OF
New York, one Bp. Lawrence,
whose time is chiefly occupied
these days in denying the allie
cations and swearing vengence
upon those who have charged
him with the folly.
We call attention to it from
the fact that letters have came
to Oakley citizens asking that
they engage in this foolish pro-
ceeding, We advise them to

The Fourth Ward Church.

Those who have not passed
down Blaine Avenue recently
will be pleasantly surprised when
they do to note the wonderful
transformation The Peoples
Hall' has undergone during the
summer. In fact that old land
mark would hardly be recog-
nized III it's new dress. Though
a very substantial building and
very comfortable within its ex-
terror was never SO very "pre-
possessing" Now all is chang
ed. The batting has been re-
moved, and nice fresh weather
boarding has taken its place.
This is being newly painted. 1t
is being partially reshingled and
the roof is being given a deep
rich color in red, chimneys have
been added, and the front re-
modelled to suit its new purpose.
New doors and windows have
taken the place of the old. So
much for the interior.
Within the changes are even
more marked. The walls and
ceiling has been enclosed in
matched lumber. A commodious
stand, and sacrament table have
been built in the east end. 1t has
been completely fitted with new
benches. The interior arrange
ment corresponds exactly
with the interior ARRANGE
ment OF the Stake Tabernacle.
The fact that Mr.. George Park
inson is doing the painting is
evidence enough that it is being
fixed up in grand style. The
four class rooms on the west
make the church particular well
suited for Sunday School wolk
1t is in fact the most convenient
ward meeting house to-date. Oh
course when the Marion House

will take back seat, but until
that time the fourth warders ex.

of a strong artesian flow of wa
ter. The we'll sunk by Jones
Bros has a measured flow of 96
inches, and amount to irrigate a
quarter section of land. 1t is be-
lieved that artesian water can
be tapped at several otherpoiuts
in that vicinity and a sufficient
quantity secured to irrigate a
considerable area of land. The
soil is deep, but the presence OF
greasewood indicates the pres
ence of alkali. In the Norton
field at Warm creek, where the
water has been flowing for %
years, there is very little vegeta-
ton. Where it is possible to
pipe the water down below the
alkali belt the reclamation of a
large tract might be feasible
The temperature of the water is
SO degrees. There are numerous
warm springs in that section
several of which have been used
for years by the stockmen, who
however, never attempted tc
raise any hay or grain.-Twir

such an excellent home for their
parishoners. They deserve much
credit and if the people of the
ward will only do as well, they
will show it by their money and
their works. Show the same
pluck, energy, generosity, dear
people, that your leaders have
shown, and you will be blessed.

treat the request with the con-
tempt it deserves. 1t emanates
from soft Drained fanatic and
none need fear the vengeance of
an all-wise creator for not re-
peating the jargon. "When
thou prayest enter into thy
closet, and when thou hast shut
the door pray to thy Father
which is in secret; and thy faith
er which seest in secret shall re-
ward thee openly.
But when ye pray, use not
vain repetitions, as the heathens
do: =
After this manner therefore
pray ye: "Our Father which
art in heaven, Hallowed be thy
name, Thy kingdom come, Thy
will be done in earth, as it is IN
heaven, Give us this day our
daily bread, and forgive us our
debts as we forgive our debtors,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil; For
thine is the kingdom, the power
and Eglory forever and ever
amen" :"-Matthews VI, 5-13

Feeding the Cow.

At a reading club of farmers in
New York recently Prof. Wing of
Cornell University said in his adj
dress:
ave do not keep ANIMALS for
the pleasure Of their company
and it takes about three fourth
of all the food for maintenance
ration-that is, toskeep the ami
NAL alive.-Now this one-fourth
that goes towards a productive
product, if the feed is cut down,
cuts off first from this one-fourth
productive .ration, and CORES
pondingly cuts off the profits.
Laterssstudy has shown that the
balancing of rations down to
small percentages; formerly
thought necessary, need not be
done for good results. Food
rich in protein, such as gluten
meal and died brewers grains,
have largely reduced the price of
foods like oil meal, which was
largely used to supply a proper
ration. This bulk of the ration.
This bulk of the ration is an inn
portant matter. Those animals
that chew the cud should have
a reasonable full stomach for the
digestive operations to go on in
the best manner. The alfalfa
plant comes nearest to being a
food perfect in its feeding value,
although perhaps a little rich in
protein.
If a cow is a profitable one,
that is, a good milk producer, it
can be determined within a
month, and if she is not more
profitable than the average cow
of the state of New York which
produces only 4,400 pounds of

Bowel Complaint i'm Children.

During the summer months chill
dren are subject to disorders of the
bowels which should receive careful
atten tion as soon as the first unnat-
ural looseness of the bowels appears.
The best medicine in use for bowel
complaint is Chamberlain Colc

promptly controls any unnatural
looseness of the bowels, whether it

one. The cow that does not pro-
produce 5000 pounds of milk in
forty week is not worth keeping

Cassia Reserve.

Forest Supervisor Peter Wren
sted says that the stockmen on
Cassia Forest Reserve have Just
completed hauling in 81 tons of
salt for the stock grazing on this
reserve. This is the first salt
that has been distributed on any
of the reserve under Mr.. Wren
sted's charge. The stockmen
all pooled together and shipped
in the salt. The forestry SER
vice has nothing to do with this
move except that the distribu-
tion is made under the direction
of sthe supervisor and rangers.
The salt is distributed along the
ridges and has the effect of scat
tering the cattle over a greater
territory than they would Craze
over without the salt. The
cattle naturally take to the
shade along the streams during
the hot months, but they will
also go great distance for salt
and will than Craze back again
to get to the water.-Pocatello

Grape-Nuts food. At that time l was

tertained and began to shun society.
