( Such act On the kings part

( much sacrifice Of personal com.
fort, as we'll as the giving up
4 of the rich possessions of Saul
which had come to him in right

1 David in comparison to the
\ faithful discharge of that old
\ obligation. This, then, we would
I emphasize in reference to the
y keeping Of the promises made,

important: Personal comfort
h and personal possessions should
I never outweigh the Importance
y of keeping a fair promise, hon.
estly made.
y How perfectly did Jesus ex.
h empIify this. He gave up his
I. riches that we through his pow
n erty might be made rich. He
/ suffered that we through his
X suffering might be redeemed to
. God, and all because he sought
Y to redeem the promise which
a God had made to man in the be-
ginning when God said that the
~ seed of the woman should
4 bruise the head of the serpent.
p Another thought in connec
4 ton with this incident was the
7 whole hearted way in which
David did that which he had de-
I termined upon. He might have
n fulfilled his promise to Jona-
4 than by restoring Mephibosheth
Y to the family possessions, but
n no, he would do more, this son
! of his dead friend should be an
" honored guest at the kings ia
4 BILE. Yes, he was a cripple, and
y certainly could not have added
A any dignity or beauty to the
+ royal household, but such fact
~ did not cause David to hesitate.
( In the divine-Iike spirit he
y would bring Mephibosheth into
h his very presence where he
= could personally attend to his
N comforts. This is the way God
I restores US to the lost heritage.
~ He brings US into his very pres
!. ence, cripples in sin though we
X are, and he there ministers unto
n US with unstinted devotion.
T From the many-sided view of
N David how we see reflected the
4 divine attributes, even as we
" hear them breathed forth in the
h Psalms which he has left US.

Paine, who wrote "Home, Sweet

wrote "Home, Sweet Home" thought
of the idea of facing a nagging wife.
Our many divorces nowadays is our
argument for it. A man who never had
a home does not know what a home
should be, but the fellow who marries
with the hope of a home and does not
find one, but a nagging wife, can sing
with assurance "Home, Sweet Home"

THE SUGAR COMPANY.

There is only one thing sweeter
than making sugar, and that is
straining honey. The local sugar
company made its first run in the
autumn of 1904, and while it
added a direct investment of a
million dollars to the community
that year, it added another mil,
lion of indirect wealth. Nor has
it stopped at that. Other in
dustries have followed, and a
higher standard of agriculture has
been attained that is not only
securing better results in raising
other crops, but men are experl-
menting with things suggested by
the sugar business, and the higher
land values based on raising the
sugar beet, are threatening to 60
still higher on account of the de-
monstrations made with small
tracts planted to apples, to pears,
to prunes, and various other prof.
table crops. But the Sugar Com.
pany has done a lot of pioneer
work, a lot of educational work
among farmers, and has faced i'm.
risks. 1t is responsible
for much improvement in roads,
and for new bridges, and sidings
on the railroads. Its influence
has been for the betterment of
conditions and Is the friend of
society. The acreage of sugar
beets this year will probably reach
the limit of the capacity of the
plant.

There are things about Th'
Resurrection we cannot understand
and when we are taught that The
body shall rise again, every par
ticle, it may try our faith to ac
cept the statement when we re
member that many bodies are
buried at sea and are prayed upon
by the fishes. but there are some
things we cannot understand this
side of death, and one is cleo
tricity. To a person WHO had
never seen any of the achieve
ments Of the electrician it would
be hard to convince him that light
is extracted from the water at
American Falls to light the houses
fifty miles away; that an invisible
'iuice'' can be drawn from the
cataract to turn machinery fifty
miles away, or that fire can be
drawn from the waterfall to heat
houses, do the cooking or melt
metals in the useful arts in a
distant city, yet we see it done
and even the electrician, when
asked to explain in detail just how
it is done, is obliged to pause, just
as the theologian does, when
asked as to the details of the
Resurrection. But somehow we
accept the situation and would
not part with 1.-THE light we

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

Kennedy Vice, President and G

continued in the same capacit,
since. Experience and continued
energy with courteous and just
treatment have made this a popular
bank with the people, as shown
by the excellent statements which
have appeared at regular periods
in this paper when called by the
Comptroller of the Currency. In
addition to receiving the deposits
of local people this bank has been
designated as Depository for
funds of the United States Govern
ment, the State of Idaho, and
Bingham County. AT the last
meeting Of the Stockholders the
following representative men of
this locality we're elected a Board
of Directors: A. Younie, +. M.

Misslen, A. d. Quantrell, j. O..
Morgan, G. A. Dobell.
The management has done some
systematic advertising and in this
way has developed a great deal of
business that was only waiting to
be e reached. For instance, in
1S95,the sheepman and the cattle
man had each a bank account, and
employees were paid in checks.
The employees cashed their checks
and spread the money around.
Today each of those sheepherders
and cowboys has a bank account
of his own. 1t may not be large
per individual, but in the aggre-
gate it is large. The same may
be said of the farmer and his en-
ployes, the sugar company and
its employees, the merchant and
his wife, the school teacher and
his wife and the minister and his
wife.
Ten thousand dollars that was
carried around in pockets
to do the business of the COM
munity, would now find its way
into the bank and these people
would do much of the business
with checks, the bank dong the
bookkeeping to keep track of the
ever-changing ownership. In the

B~Ianketins Cows.

Northwest Farmer, Wfnnipeg.)
During the last couple OF, years q
good many dairymen n Australia have
adopted the practice of blanketing their
cows during wet and cold weather, and
the results in every case are spoken of
as being highly satisfactory. When
cows are kept warm the food they con-
une instead Of being utilized to main
tain bodily. heat, is largely devoted to
the production of milk, and in this
way the dairyman realizes a large pro-
fit on the very small outlay required to
provide blankets for his cattle in cold
weather.
Men who have studied the subject
closely say that the effect of covers
on cows is very remarkable. The quiet
cows become more quiet and c~ontented,
while those that are shy or nervous
have, their nerves soothed and submit
to being handled without fear. This is
no fad Of M or two men, but has be-
come SO common that manufacturers
have placed several kinds Of blankets,
as coverings, on the market with a
view to supplying the demand that has
arisen. 1t is said, however, that a
homemade blanket, made from old
wheat bags, serves the purpose as
well as anything. After they have
been worn for q short time they be-
come thoroughly waterproof. Fl

food, leprosy began to diminish, un-
til now it has ceased to exist. He
also referred to the sister disease,
known as scurvy, which was pre-
valent at the time when cattle could
not be fed in winter and were there
fore killed and sailed to be used as
meat all the winter. But with the
introduction of the sWede turnip as
a food for the cattle, and fresh meat
so obtainable, scurvy diminished.
And as soon as the potato became
common and more vegetable food
could be taken, scurvy dropped.
Scurvy still exists, tho only thru
what Americans would call pure GUS
sedness.' A friend of his once at
tended a child aged four months which
was suffering from scurvy. When his
friend was informed the child was fed
with corned beef, he was Mortified,
and told the mother it was as near
murder as anything to feed SO young
a child on corned beef. WELL" said
the mother, in surprised tones, "the
little beggar won't eat pork."-Farm

get out easily either way. If 1t is in
dependence, the opportunity to speak
out, the senator has desired he GER
tainly has lost abundant opportunities
in the last five years. There has ragged
in Iowa during that time a mighty
conflict to free the state from corrupt
control and to secure for the people
a larger voice in state affairs and a
fairer apportionment of justice, move
ments which might we'll command the
sympathy and aid Of every true-heart-
ed citizen of the commonwealth, move
ments which are mountains in their
significance beside the petty ambition
of one ma to die in the harness" In
those conflicts where was this man
who now so fearlessly speaks? What
golden opportunities they were for
him who had no fears! How remark
able the silence of some of our Wash
ington representatives when the con-
flict waged for some material end! And
more remarkable the activity and
eloquerce when the vague and UNI
American life-tenure principle dear
only to themselves is threatened! The
activity, which we may expect from
certain members of the Washington
delegation, in opposing Governor Cum
Minis candidacy for the senate carries
a significance particularly its own. and
therefore will be readily understood.

HANDWRITING CHILDREN.

A ffteen-year-old boy on his way
from Cedar Rapids to the reform
school at Eldora in charge of an Off
Ger, tried to run away the other NOR
ming. The officer caught him after a
sharp sprint and. concludes the news
paper account, "he vas taken into the
train and handcuffed."
Presumably the leg irons had been
left at Cedar Rapids. II SO, 1T was a
serious mistake. Officers should take
no chances with desperate fifteen
year-old children, who are likely at
any minute to use their legs in an
effort to escape. Hereafter when Ce-
dar Rapids sends an officer out In
charge of a ffteen-year-old boy, the
shackles should be riveted on before
they leave Cedar Rapids. Perhaps 1t
would be advisable to ship the child
rem In steel crates. Then officers ac-
companying them might smoke IN
peace, observe the passing throng at
ease. and even slip across the tracks
for a nip on a frosty morning without
an annoying necessity Of watchful-
ness.
This boy is very likely a bad boy
for he had been paroled and had vio-
lated his pledges. Then, too, he may
have been the victim Of circumstances
and environment. At any rate he
was but fifteen, a child, only five years
older than the bright-faced, little ten
year-old who this morning marched
off to his fifth grade work, and MY
nine years older than another in the
first grade and kindergarten. Hand
cuffs had no place on that child's
wrists, to attract the stare of the,
curious and stamp him as a desperate
criminal. Did this officer march that
boy %handcuffed up to the office of the
superintendent Of the school? II SO,
what did the superintendent say to
him? What ought the superintendent
of a Industrial school, say to an
officer who brings him pupils whereof
to make citizens, and brings them
~handcuffed?
There is d loutish and complacent
indifference among a certain class OF
officers to the future of the children
with whom the accident Of their Of
ticialism brings them to deal. No Of
.icer who thinks it necessary to put
handouts on a child should be per-
mitted to take charge Of boys. Think
Of it, a man physically fit for police
work swapping handouts on a boy Of
fifteen!

Steer Feeding.

The profits from cattle feeding do
not depend on the price OF land.
Land values are based largely upon
production, distance from markets
and the available shipping facilities.
If it is profitable to grow corn, a
and clover on 500 land, the only
question left to the farmer is wheth
er he can market these crops by
feeding them to cattle, at q price
equal to their market value at the
elevator. This applies to the land
owner who has corr and 9 large
amount of cheap roughage to dis
nose of. and not to the man who
buys both cattle and feed, expecting
to make his profit from the transact
ton, without giving any considera-
ton to5fhasvalue of the N The
fertias ,ofsathe soil cannot be ig-
noreM Tha progressive man will
make pToftabie@use of the manure
from his cattle. We hold the view
that it is not more expensive, under
ordinary conditions, to feed the crop
to cattle than to market it, hence the
feeder Il mhade a profit equal to the
.manuEaI value of the feeds used, II
at the close Of the feeding period his
cattle sell for enough to pay for The
original cost of the cattle, the feed
consumed and the interest on the in
vestment. 1t is not a question OF
profit from feeding cattle, but rather
a question of the most profitable meth
cd of disposing of farm crops.-Bulle-
