mother is again able to take life easier.

And what was the great moral and

ago that mother said to mo: 1T was
lawfully hard for us when we lost

best friends then turned their backs

that financial trouble was the greatest
blessing which could have come to us.
1t did for us, as family, more than
money could ever have done, 1t has
taught us to love each other ms never
before; for love grows on sacrifices,
and God knows we have had to sacri-
fee for each other. 1t has taught us
not only to do for each other but also
to do for those of the outside world

The democratic candidate for
congress has alone stayed in the
race. While he is shelIing the
woods all around for political
game, no enthusiasm is created
here. He counted on the general
enthusiasm of the state and dis
trict campaigns contributing ener-
gy to his efforts in stirring the pat
riotism Of the voters. but he con.
fesses that he is disappointed in the
turn affairs have taken"
It would have been difficult tor
the Ananias who wrote the above
to express more falsehood in as
many words. He may have written
it merely to fill space but it is pro.
bable that his inspiration was due
to another motive, a desire to in
jure Mr.. Bond by conveying the
impression that his candidacy is
not backed BY the enthusiastic cup
port of his home people. Insofar
as the report seeks to leave this
impression, it is wilful and mali
cious falsehood of the first order.
The truth is that Chickasha
stands back of Mr.. Bond to man
and is deeply interested in his can
didacy. If there is a democrat in
Chickasha who is not his ardent
advocate, he has not given any ex-
preston to his sentiments and not
a republican has aught to say
against him. While politics in
general have created little interest
among the people the keenest in
terest has been manifested in Mr. |
Bonds campaign.
No candidate for congress will
have uore hearty support from his
home people than Mr.. Bond and
this is one of the elements of
strength that renders him a form
liable man in the race.

THE CHURCH AND THE PEOPLE

At a recent religious gathering
in this cisy, the question was ask
ed, why do not more Of the peo-
pie IN the humber walks OF life
attend church'' It appeared 10 be
the general opinion that the cause
was to be found in the fact that
they are not made to feel welcome
when they do attend and as a
remedy it was proposed that the
members of the church make il a
point to shake hands with all who
come, particularly strangers, and
make them feel at home,
Now the diagnosis OF the case
and the remedy suggested are very
good, as far as they go but this
solution Of the question touches
only the surface Of the problem
and doesn't take into account I'M
derlying conditions that give rise
TO it.

the question resolves itself into the
inquiry. why the Indifference Of

distinct lines Of fruitful investiga-

The first Of these relates to So
cisl conditions. While we have
no titled aristocracy in this nation
and, theoretically. no class distinct
ions, yet it is lamenlable fact that
that social distinctions have arisen.
BY the logic Of commercialism, the
dollar is thought to confer a kind
Of nobility upon man, and BY the
same variety Of popular sophislry
the position which a man occupies
aud the calling which he follows
are thought to affect his standing
in society.
These false distinctions per-
neate every grade Of society and
hey have crept into the church.
The banker and the merchant, the
awyer and the doctor, their sons
and daughters are fancied to stand
higher in society" than the hod-

A. P. Wolfe, who owns a ranch adioin-
ing South Boise, has given demons,ra-
tion this year of just what irrigated
farms will do. His place adjoins the
Gekeler ranch. and is within three or
four miles Of the city. Upon ii acres of
his ranch, Mr.. Wolfe planted potatoes
last spring, and is just reaping the har-
vest. He has secured 5000 sacks Of po-
tatoes upon the IA acres, each sack con-
tanning, on the average, ll0 pounds of
the tubers. These potatoes are of excel
lent quality, and he is selling them at
81 per 100 pounds. This makes a to-
tai revenue from the fourteen acres
OF approximately $500, or nearly
s4OO an acre, which is considered
somewhat of a remarkable revenue,
even for the Boise valley Boise States
man.
