REFERRING to the nomination of a
candidate for State Superintendent of
Schools, a friend of the REGISTER
writes US: The position of State Sup
erintendent should not be political
ons-it should be placed along with
that of the judgsship and as far as
possible removed from the ordinary
trend of politics. These are the
words of truth and soberness. While
we cannot hope to have the Office en-.
tirely removed from political consider
alton, both parties can nominate for
this place men who are known to be
Intellectual leaders rather than petty
partisan politicians.

SPEAKING of the methods used to
carry Barbour county for Charlie
Swishsr, State Auditor Arnold G.
Scherr, Republican, says that "the
coal companies voted whites, blacks
and foreigners for Mr.. Swisher. regard
less of whether they were citizens OF
not. Some say they even voted the
mules
This is probably a true description
of Swisherite methods, and if Swisher
is nominated the coal bsronsr the
Standard Oil Company, the railroads
and other corporations will seek to
elect him by the same means.
Now why do these corporations SC
srdently desire Swisher to be Cover.

against railroad regulation laws from
North Carolina and Minnesota, virtu-

Two Pointers tor the Farmers.

In an irrigating country it is
sometimes found necessary to
take down a fence to avoid a
ditch or lateral when driving to
and from a field. IL this road is
only used a part of the year, or
occasionally, it does not pay TO
construct a permanent gate. A
temporary gate, which will cost
only a few cents, can be cons
tructed in the following manner:
Loosen the wires on three or
four posts, depending on the
tightness of the wires. Then
drive two staples about one-half
inch apart parallel to the wire
and to each other where the sta
pies were formerly driven in the
post Place a spike at the bot
tom of each of the two center
posts. The wire can then be
hooked under these spikes and
will be held close to the ground
so it is easy to drive over. When
the fence is to be closed place the
wires between the parallel stap-
les and then run a nail through
both staples and outside OF the
wire. Fasten the wires to each
post in this manner and your
fence will be just as good as It
would be if the wires were stap-
led solid to the posts. This is n
cheap and very satisfactory way
to construct a temporary gate.
One very good way to clear
land of sagebrush, provided you
do not care to use the land for
year, is to SOW rye among the
brush in the fall. The fall and
spring rains will cause the rye to
grow. The rye will ripen in the
following July. In August a fire
will burn beth the rye and sage
brush. Ii care is taken in sowing
the rye SO that the fire will carry
well from brush to brush the
ground will be left as clean as
swept floor. Twin Falls News.
