Swearing-off Club.

A club of Gate City boys, organ
lied to frown on the use OF pIofane
language, tobacco and liquor, is in
process of organization in Pocatel-
10. Buck Trap, son of Mr..
and Mrs. w. z. Trapp, is taking
the lead in the matter. He urges
that all boys in the city under 10
years of age, who desire to become
members, leave their names at Car
with the Tribune last evening Mas
ter Trap gave a brief outline of
the objects of the club. He said it
is to be known as the Anti-Swear-
ing, Anti-Liquor and Anti-T obacco
club of Pocatello. All boys under
the age of 10 are eligible. The
initiation fee will be ten cents,
monthly dues 25 cents, and for
each intraction of the rules of the
club fine of 25 cents will be inn
posed. An effort will be made to
bring all the boys of Pocatello into
membership. Regular meetings
will be held and Master Trapp is
entertainment Boys who are not
members of the club and who are
caught in the act of smoking,
swearing or drinking, will not be
demonstrated with by club mem
bers, but they will be reported tc
their parents, who will be urged tc
compel their offspring to join the
club and be good. A similar org an
ization prevails at Idaho Falls, says
Master Trap, and With fine re-
suits. -Pocatello Tribune.

ercise great care and turn out a pro-
duct that is entitled to rank with

as much as they would were there
a reputation established for the
entire section. Therefore it pays
to get together, to work together,
TO provide uniformity of pack, end
to arrange rules under which first
class fruit shall 60 out under brand
of the locality.
For these reasons it is highly
encouraging to find so much inter
est being taken in these meetings
of the horticultural association. 1t
is shown that a large portion of our
fruit growers are determined to get
on the top round. Those taking the
lead will certainly pull all energet-
ic orchardists after them, and in
time the Idaho brand, or brands, OF
fruit will become as famous as those
of any other fruit region of the
country.

Cutting Down the Coal Bill.

The coal bill is bugbear in many
rural homes. Some one says that
if you can economizc on the coal
bill it is like finding money in the
road. The first thing to look to in
the line of economy is a good stove.
Next see that the stove and chimney
are kept clean and that the drafts
and hampers are in good working
order. Then if you know how to
use your drafts and hampers you can
always have just as. much or just as
little fire as you want. If you have
large heater either in your room
or in the cellar you do not wish to
run it at full blast in mild weather
A good way to run small fire in a
during mild weather and use the
poker instead, cleaning only a small
part of the CRATE instead of shaking
all the ashes down. A good sized
hole can be pokcd in the ashes from
below and then from above over the
same place, so that there will be a
thor oughly clean place clear through
perhaps onc-half or onc-third of
the surface of the CRATE. Build
you fire in this opening. You can
keep fire of any size so long as
you wish and it will not burn out
so quickly as small fire in a large
stove will. With soft coal fire
running at low temperature in 2
large stove, combustion is very i'm
perfect and much unburncd coal
goes into the ashes. When cold
snap comes a few minutes use OF
poker and shaker brings your stove
back to its full capacity with nice
brisk fire to start from again.

IDAHO HANDILY WINS INTER.
COLLEGIATE DEBATE AT MOSCOW

The first of the intercolleg late
debates of the year, was fought and
won by Idaho against Montana at
the Methodist church Saturday
evening, says the Moscow Star
Mirror. I he result was 2 to in
favor of Idaho. The debate COM
pared favorably with the almost
unanimous victory won by Idaho at
Missoula last year, and though the
subject at issue was contested most
ficrcely, there could be no doubt
as to the results.
The question for the contest
was: Resolved: That all the rail-
roads in the United States should
be owned and operated by the fed
cral government. - AS Idaho chose
the negative side of the question,
she was prepared to give some very
strong arguments. Though it
would be no easy task to discrimi-
nate between the members of the
Idaho team, it is believed that Hol-
man, the leader, was somewhat
superior, both in his fighting
qualities and his ability to grasp
and hold the subject under discus
sion. Miss Nichols, of Montana,
proved wonder, and was excep-
tionally clever in the rebuttal.

Facts Briefly Mentioned.

1t is stated on German authority
that the astounding number of two
million glass eyes are made every
year in Germany and Switzerland,
while one French house manufac-

them annually.
Should you see a woman in
tobacconist shop buying clay pipes,
don't infer that she smokes. Some
one has discovered that clay pipe
stems when heated give the hair a
softer and more natural curl than
irons.
A horse can draw on the worst
kind of earth road about four times
as much as be can carry on his
back. On good macadamizcd road
he can pull ten times as mnch, on
wooden road twenty-five times
as much, and on street railway
fifty-cight times as much.
The newest billiard balls are
made of cast steel. They are the
same weight as ivory.
Parchment used on the best BAN
jocs is made from wolf skin.
Chickens are sold by pairs in
Bucnos Ayres. They are dressed
before being offered for sale, the
only feathers left upon them being
those of the tail. The same custom
prevails in China as to dogs, where
a bit of the dogs hair is always left
on the end of the tail, even when
the animal is cooked. But this is
because the Chinese consider the
flesh of black dogs the best, and
most certain to put brave spirit
into the body of the eater.
In each act of taking breath ar

TOO MUCH WATER
BAD FOR THE LAND
Economy in use of Precious Fluid Urged by
Experts who Know Whereof
They Speak.

for crop production is a fallacy of
which the public mind should be
disabused. Irrigation should be
supplemental to the rainfall and IN
proportion as it is so considered
will better methods come into prac-
tice. Often much water goes to
waste in the fall and spring. Such
available waters can be turned onto
the land and stored for the use of
crops. Where this is done there
will be less need of summer irriga-
tiou.
Irrigation water is freely used in
many districts. Rigid economy has
not as yet been enforced nor have
we yet resorted to special means for
the prevention of waste in bitches
on farms. Wooden and cement
fumes and slip joint pipe are in
use in many districts in California.
There is no doubt but that such
structures will finally be used in
certain localities in Idaho.
Extensive canal construction is
now under way in Idaho and plans
have been made for the diversion
of most of the available waters of
the arid part of the state. About
900, 900 acres of irrigated land is
now under cultivation in Idaho.
There are 13, 200, 600 more under
canals now in course of construc-
ton. There is necessarily a limit
to the amount of land which may
be served yet it will be many years
before that limit will be reached.
Since the duty of water will be
gradually increased we may expect
the waters of the state to supply a
larger acreage than figures based
on the duty now assumed would
show. The less water is applied
the higher the duty which means q
greater area of irrigated land and
more farms for horne builders. This
end may be attained by the use of
the proper amounts and the proven
ton of waste, winter irrigation,
proper cultivation and the conserva-
ton of the rainfall also will in.
crease the duty of water.

HOrtiCuIturists Meet.

The meeting of the State Horti-
cultural association, held at Pay
cite, was the most successful the
organization has known. There
were a great many present. Those
attending went to learn; the pro-
gram had been arranged with the
view of imparting information, and
the occasion was therefore of great
benefit to the industry.
In all branches of human activity
there is keen rivalry in attaining
excellence; and il is in those in
which this is most highly developed
that the greatest successes are re-
corded. People can live at most
any business, but it is only those
who strive to excel who get ahead.
This is particularly true in the hor-
ticultural industry. Amy farmer
can set out trees and get some kind
of fruit. There will be apples and
peaches and pears, but, though he
may have a large orchard, his fruit
will be drug on the market in
any ordinary year unless it be cs-
pccial1y fine. Fruit is grown
everywhere, and the poor stuff
that develops in orchards that arc
not given proper care is not wanted
in the markets. II is only the
frsit that is noticeable for it's ex-
cellence that always commands a
price, and it is those only who
pay close intelligent attention tc
the growth and marketing of their
fruit who realize the handsome prof
it's.
Fortunately for those who do cx.
crcise care, the disposition to ne
glcct the orchards is so general thai
there is always room for the crop:
of those who aim to excel. While
a great deal of work must be done
to secure perfect crop, the reward:
for those exercising such care are
corresponding great. An orchard
may be highly profitable or entirely

Sounds 6ood.

AS showing the advantages of
running a few head of cattle and
feeding them over the range sys-
tern, the Kalispcll (Montana) Her
aid journal quotes the experience of
a successful stockrfisn. This man
said that when hc.-was running his
cattle on the range if he could get
them through the winter with a
loss in weight on three-ycar-olds of
not more than 200 pounds he con-
sidcrcd himself fortunate. He had
several thousand head of cattle and
he did some figuring. He found that
in the annual loss he was losing the
value of big herd of cattle every
year.
''Hc had $40 acres of land under
a ditch,'' says the ald-Journal.
This he plo we'd and sowed in al
falfa. Since then he has been
cutting about six tons per acre
each year, or $3.50 tons, sutfi-
cient to feed 1, 900 cattle during the
winter, with the following results
A gain of $50 pounds per head, or
$40, 900 pounds, instead of a loss of
200 pounds per head, or loss of
$40, 900 pounds. A difference of
500, 600 pounds, which at four cents
per pound, live weight, means q
gain over the old way of S22, 400.
Thus did he discover that the new
road was better than the old rut.'
