Old and Young Join in a Grand Cele-
bration Lasting For Two Days
Everybody Happy

Last Friday witnessed a good So
clal time at Groveland Hall in the
afternoon for the entertainment OF
the married people, consisting OF
some fine music by the Groveland or.
chestra, songs, speeches and recita

About six hundred people were

POTATO GROWERS MEETING

! On Monday afternoon about 9
hundred potato growers assembled in
the Commercial club rooms to dis.
cuss the best means of disposing of
their potato crop.
| j. H. Merrill presided, and Mr..
Alfred spoke on the past history of
handling potatoes at Blackfoot show
ing many of the mistakes that have
been made that have hurt the trade
by giving producers the bad name
mer1ted by the INSCRIPTIONS ones
among them. 1t was considered a
very able address, though not a very
comforting one, since it brought the
audience face to face with some un-
pleasant conditions.
L. D. Wilson addressed the mea,-
ing, giving some interesting obserya-
t1ons on handling potatoes. He was
followed by j. H. Hale, Fred T. Du-
bois, J. H. Merrill, G. w. Hammond
and VIM. Kraack.
A committee consisting of G. A.
Powell, Ernest Anderson, G. H. Ham
mond and L. D. Wilson in connection
with Chairman J. H. Merrill to ascer.
tain the number of cars of potatoes
in this locality for sale and to rec
ommend some plan of procedure to
get them properly graded and mar
keted. The committee made a can
vass of those present and reported
about 200 car loads represented. and
they were instructed to report more
fully to the meeting on Thursday aft.

On Thursday afternoon at a large

WRONGS IN TOWN AND OUT
Wrongs Done by Farmers and Business Men
Local Evils Discussed and
Remedy Suggested

This week the farmers who have
potatoes to sell are holding meetings
to discuss the best means of market
ing them, and the Commercial club is
making an effort to increase it's mem
bership and to hold farmers insti-
tutes for bettering the conditions of
the farmers. A discussion of the
whole situation is in order at this
time, and 1t will do no harm to the
honest-minded person either on the
farm or in the Office to look the mat
ter squarely in face and see where
his position Is lame.
1t Is an unpleasant task to criticise
friends and associates, yet there are
times when such things have to be
done, as well as praise where praise
Is due and to boost when boosting is
justified or helpful. 1t is our obser-
vation and experience that when the
editor boosts many people make light
of what is said when he expresses
commendation or deserved praise, it
is welcomed, but when he criticises,
even though the criticism is true and
intended for the material good of

EDWARD Il. KELLY

When Edward e. Kelly finished his
term of service in the Philippines
during the Spanish-American war he
located in Blackfoot, and established
the Bingham County Democrat which
he published for some time. He was
rather caustic writer, and did much
to break up the shell" which had
formed about the citizenship of the
town. He quit the newspaper work
for the practice of law, and finally
sold out and removed to Medford,
Oregon, from which place he writes
an interesting letter which follows:

Where Business Men Are Wrong
The old custom of extending credit
to everybody until he proves to be a
dead beat, and then keeping still
while he runs bill with some other
business man whom he will also beat
Is sapping the profits of business men
OF all classes. These profits have to
be borne by the men who do busi-
ness with the dead beats, and If the
hrm doing such business continues in
business, such loses have to be COW
cred by means of higher prices paid
by the men who actually pay for the
goods they buy.
This condition makes 1t the i'm
perative duty of men doing a credit
business to blacklist all dishonest
customers and have such free inter-
change OF information regarding
lnelr plack llsts that justice may be
done to the honest customer and re-
tribution brought to the dishonest.
About sixteen years ago there was
considerable discussion among mer-
chants of this locality and in Central
Idaho about this matter of credit and
BAD customers, and the most success
Pul dealers at that time admitted that
t was wrong in principle, but indi-
vidually they preferred to continue
he old way and they have done so.
md now they admit they have paid
heavily for 1t. The old merchant of

'erience to keep him on safe lines

The African Market.

The prices of wild animals naturally
fiuctuate with the demand. An exces-
sive supply of rhinoceroses would soon
reduce the market value. Five for
sale at any time in the world would
glut the market. for one cannot sell a
rhinoceros every day. The mainte-
nance of wild animals is costly and
they soon eat their value in food, so
that every day they are on the hunt
er's or the dealers hands he is losing
money.
After the animals are captured they
have to be transported to the coast.
This adds greatly to the cost. Deliv
cred a. Nairobi or Fort Florence,
which are inland and practically on
the African hunting field, baby rhin-
oceros of the prehensile Tipped species

MAN AND WOMAN DEAD.
Bodies Found Under Sleigh and Are
Supposed to show Murder.

Bodies Found Under Sleigh and Are
Supposed to show Murder.
The coroner's jury investigating the
death of August Wolff and Mabel Co
neau, which occurred eight miles east
of Ladysmith about 6 o'clock on re-
cent morning. adjourned after viewing
the bodies aud taking some testimony.
The bodies were found beside the road,
underneath the overturned light sleigh
IN which they had been riding. The
team was standing quietly hitched to
the rig where it had upset. There are
no marks of violence upon either body.
A quart bottle of whisky, half emp
tied, and two full bottles of beer, which
had been bought ar saloon in Lady
smith just before stal ting, were found;
also another beer bottle, nearly emp
tied, which had been recorked. The
theory is that the liquor was poisoned,
but by whom or for what motive there
Is no evidence. The stomach of each
victim, together with the liquor, will
be analysed. Wolff was a man of fam
lily, sober, Industrious and a careful
driver. The woman is a half-breed
Indian, whom he was driving to Ing
ram. She went by the name of Rich
ards and came from Superior a week
before She said her husband lived in
Milwaukee, and recent letters from a
sweetheart who IS working in camp
near Ladysmith are in evidence.

Electric Lights on Farms.

The introduction of tungsten lamps
is doing much to advance the use of
electricity on farms. 1t is possible
for the farmer with a small plant,
driven either by gasoline engine or
by damming a small stream, to OBJ
tain sufficient current to light his
house and barn with this economical
type of incandescent lamp. The use
of electricity on the farm, by the way,
is growing and. as pointed out by the
Electrical World, farmers will in time
come to consider electricity a neces-
sity. Then it will be found profitable
to establish central generating stations
for farming districts to take the place
of the small individual plants now be-
ing installed

How to Keep Cream.

There is no better way of holding
cream from one day to another than
to run it over a cooler Immediately as
it comes from the separator, cooling 1t
thereby to some so degrees Fahrenheit.
1t will be we'll to skim the first lot
of cream very rich, about 40 per cent
fat. Then cool this to a low tempera-
ture and hold it cold until the second
day. The cream separated on the sec
ond day may be somewhat thinner,
containing from 20 to 80 per cent fat.
This may be run directly into the cold,
rich cream of the previous day and the
two lots thoroughly mixed.
After the mixture has stood an hour
or so it ought to be tested both for
fat and acidity. If it has slow acid
ity near three-tenths of l per cent, a
starter may be used. After mixing the
starter with the cream ripen it at 60
to 70 degrees until the acidity reaches
about five-tenths of l per cent.
The cream ought then to be cooled
to about so degrees and held at this
temperature until it Is churned.
Sweet cream from clean milk ought
to keep without deterioration for TWEEN
ty-four hours, and If this is mixed with
cream fresh from the separator the
mixture should stand from six to ten
hours, with an occasional stirring so
as to ripen uniformly.
If you do not do this the older cream
may churn before the fresh cream
when they are mixed together, and un-
der such conditions there may be a
large loss of butter in the buttermilk.
