Montpelier, Idaho, Feb. 8, 1911

AS the city election will be |
held in just two months, it is !
t me the business men and
other citizens who are really |
interested in the welfare OF
the city, were beginning to
think about the men and the
issues upon which the coming
campaign will be conducted.
If there ever was a time when
Montpelier needed an abso
lutely thorough business ad
ministration, that time is now
at hand.
There is. a most important
question now confronting the
city and one which il will be
impossible to settle perman-
emily before the expiration of
the present administration.
In order to properly settle
this question it will require
the counsel of men who have
sound business judgment,
men who will be firm in what
ever course they decide to
pursue, in their efforts to
bring about "a settlement OF
this question. We refer to
the contest between the
Montpelier Milling Co. ano
the city, regarding the rights
of the latter to use the wateI
fo Montpelier creek for the
city water system. Two
rounds in this contest have
been pulled off and the Mill
ing Co. has won both of them
This places the city in a posi-
tion where it will be forced Il
make some sort Of settle
ment with the Milling Co.
which will Insure the city tn,
necessary amount of water t.
supply its water system, a
the least possible expense
The Examiner has no solution
to offer, but sincerely hope
that the incoming admins
tration will be composd o
men who will grapple wit
this, and other problem
which will confront then
with firmness accompanie
with good, "sound hors
sense
In the selection of this kin
of an administration, it wi
be wise, we believe, to la
aside all political difference
and select men for their wort
and business ability.

Last May. Mr.. Gilbert received and
ordinary small envelope from his post
man, and, on opening it, found enclos-
ed a sprout not more than four inches
long, which the donor, a New York
state man, called the giant Himalaya,
and which he boosted would attain a
height of forty feet during it's first
summer. Mr., Gilbert set the plant out
and allowed it to start up a twenty

NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE
A Scientific Achievement

The discovery and turning in an al
arm of fire makes possible the heroic
work of the firemen in putting it out.
Undiscovered, fire spreads with
amazing rapidity, destroys everything
within reach
The discovery of the dandruff germ
was of inestimable value to mankind,
but only because it paved the way for
the greater service, the discovery of
Newbro's Herpicide.
Dandruff is contagious, and it's
spread is checked by the use of Herpi-
eide. This delightful scalp dressing
kills the germ, and prevents the hair
from falling. 1t stops that itching al
most instantly.
Herpicide is the one standard and
original dandruff germ destroyer Any
other preparation making this claim
is an imitation.
Recommended and applied by first
class BARRIERS.

NORTH MICHIGAN
IN SUMMERTIME

There is no more beautiful spot
N the whole northwest, and no
territory which invites resorters,
that affords so many advantages
as Traverse City and other places
in the immediate vicinity. The
climate is of that character which
appeals to jaded spirits and serves
as tonic to weary nerves. It is
delightful, and during the hottest
weather the evenings are temper
ed with cool, refreshing breezcs
which can be fully appreciated by
those coming from the large cities
in search of rest and renewed
health. Traverse City is a thriv-
ing, industrial and social center
of prosperous farm and fruit
country. The population is about
1900. 1t is the gateway to the
famous Grand Traverse resort re-
gion. It's industrial interests are
substantial and increasing, and
its business men progressive and
awake to modern requirements in
merchandising and manufactur-
ing; its mercantile houses are
conducted on modern methods,
the retail stores being second to
none in any city in the state.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch Of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and l had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. 1 don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.

ment are sold by druggists and deal

The city is in the center of a
wonderful fruit country which is
receiving attention from all direc-
tions and has come into almost
national prominence because of
it's numerous varieties of fine
fruits and improvement in horti-
culture which is rapidly develop

farms which are among the most
productive in the state, and their
owners are naturally prosperous.
Grand Traverse Bay, as its
name implies, is certainly grand.
Within few miles of the city,
and in many instances short
walks or drives, are its shores,
and numerous intermediate lakes
form interesting resting places

dreds, of summer cottages and
comfortable farm houses dot the
hillsides surrounding Grand Ira
verse Bay. Resorts are numerous
in many sections and the popular
ity of this locality is attracting an
increased number of visitors each
year. Long stretches of sandy
shore offer excellent facilities for
bathing, while boating can be, en-
joyed to the fullest extent under
conditions of ordinary care. Many
visitors have been attracted by
the facilities for motor boating
and the sailing yacht.
Out of Traverse City, along the
shore of the bay around the
smaller lakes, are many beautiful
drives-mole beautiful than one
could imagine. The modern auto

Then in the morning after the dew
has dried off, the rake is run over

the drying. In case of rain the same
turning is given until the hay is

to the conclusion that the bloom is
not a reliable guide, but that the
shoots, or buds" as some call them,
should be looked for as an indication
of the proper time to cut alfalfa for
hay.
Hay should be dried pretty thor.
oughly before it is placed in the NOW,
A good test is to take bunch of the
hay from the greenest part of the
swath, twist it in the hands, nearly
to the breaking point. If the moisture
exudes from the twisted stems it had
better be dried for a longer time.
When no moisture is seen it is ready
for the NOV. This is considered to
be safe guide
Timothy hay is not as hard to make
as clover or alfalfa The weather is
usually better for hay making when
timothy is ready to cut, and then
rain does not injure timothy as much
as it does clover or alfalfa. 1t will
also admit of more handling.

HANDLE MILK CAREFULLY.

OF all the farm products milk re
quires the most care to prevent dete
rioration Since it is a liquid into
which dirt may fall and carry not only
filth but bacteria that will cause it tc
sour quickly, great need is required
to prevent the entrance of anythine
that will cause it soon to lose its good
qualities.
In the first place, there needs to be
extreme care taken that there be as
little dirt as possible on the body Ct
the COW and the udder. In some of thu
large dairieS each COW is given a bath
before milking; this may not be prac
ticable in all cases but since the small
dust particles from the COW carry botk
filth and bacteria, it does emphasize
the necessity for bedding dairy COWS
we'll and rubbing off the dust prior tc
milking. No pains should be spared
to clean the teats and udder with 9
damp cloth. The mixers hands
should be washed clean before he
begins to milk and loose dirt, hairs,
ETC., should be brushed from the
clothing. Whenever milking is done
near the roadside from which a cloud
OF dust may be sent by a gust of
wind into the milk and onto the milk.
er, both bacteria and dirt may be
added to the milk. Dust that flies in.
to the air during the time of throwing
down hay, straw, etc., will contribute
its share in assisting milk to lose its
good qualities. Festoons of cobwebs
and dust covered joists add to the
dirt sources already named.
