Men and Religion
Forward Movement

| newspapers fr. n many cities con-
| tain much with respect to what is
known as the Men and Religion For
ward Movement. That movement
Is in progress in our state with
headquarters in Boise, and it is thus
brought to our Deople in a manner
that calls for th.ir attention.
This religious and humanitarian
undertaking is being conducted by a
lcommittee of 81 men appointed at a
issreat~cohferepce held II Buffalo in
October, 1910. Ninety cities in the
United States and Canada have
been selected as centers In each
OF these committee of one hund-
red has been organized to conduct
the work in its field. Boise is one
OF those cities. and the committee
there is in charge of this territory.
The purpose of the movement is
TO arouse men to sense of their
obligation to the church, and to
arouse the church to realization of
It's obligations to the people in con-
nectlOn with such subjects as organ
lied work for boys, social service.
relations between labor and capital,
etc. 1t aims to vitalize the church,
on the one hand, in order that its
power may be extended in anchor
ating the conditions under which
people live and improving the atmos-
phere thrown about them; and on
the other hand it seeks to make
more generally into participation in
all its activities.
In each OF the cities constituting
centers of this movement. organi-
cations are effected to prosecute
the work along the lines suggested.
Each has committees on boys work,
social service, bible study, evange-
lism, missions, etc. There is also a
committee whose duty it is to ex-
tend the work into ighboring or
auxiliary towns. Such town, in
turn. are to extend it to hamlets
and country districts. Thus every
portion OF the country is to be reac
ed
In each city an S-day campaign
will be conducted by a team of ex-
perts sent out by the Committee of
ninety-seven. The experts on each
team cover all subjects emphasized
by the movement.
The S-day campaign in Boise will
be held February 10-1S. IL is the
plan to have a great number of del
egates present from the auxiliary
towns and as many other men as
possible who may not be delegates.
A great boys conference will be
held at the same time. After that
campaign teams will be sent out
from Boise to repeat the work in
the auxiliary towns as for as pos
sible, bringing all the information
gathered from the experts in the
various departments of the program
of movements.

A Bulletin Number

The department OF agriculture has
issued a new farmers bulletin, No.
466, on winter emmer, which should
prove of great value to farmers In
almost every section of the country.
particularly those who have not met
with any success in growing winter
oats.
DIR. B. T. Galloway. in submitting
the manuscript of Mark Alfred Car
Teton, the author of the pamphlet,
to Secretary Wilson, said:
I'm recent years the cultivation of
emmer in the United States has
come to be of considerable import
ance. Heretofore almost the entire
bulk of the crop has been made up
of spring varieties. In localities wher
spring grain is not well adapted
there is always need of fall-sown
varieties"

ject by strong protest against the

Incorrect names anDlied for emmer
The most common word used thus
wrongly is speltz, which does not
even exist as legitimate word in
any language. What Is meant is
the German word 'spelz." which is
spelled different and which is
translated "spelt" In English True
Spelt, however. differs as much from
emmer as pears differ from apples
The department of agriculture i'm
ported about 70 pounds OF black
winter emmer in 1904 This was
planted and from the resulting seed
experiment stations and farmers
were supplied. Such farmers as re-
ceived samples of the seed general
ly obtained good results. One in
Pennsylvania obtained as bushels
per acre and was not troubled with
rust, smut or insects of any kind.
Another in North Carolina obtained
yield of rs bushels per acre when
wheat the same farm Yielded IL
bushels per acre. Another in Michi-
gan obtained yield ofS12 bushels
per acre last year when the preced-
Ing fall from seeding time until win
ter was very dry. This one stated
that the crop was very good, in fact
better than oats. Away off in Cali
fornia another farmer grew winter
emmer and obtained a yield OF 81
bushels per acre.
The experience of these farmers
indicates that winter emmer is
general purpose crop with reference
to climate and SOIL.
The departments idea In first in
Producing winter emmer was that
it would be adapted to withstand
winters rather more severe than u.s.
ua1. but later investigations showed
that while it Is winter crop in Eu-
rope it will not withstand as severe
cold as some of the harder COM
mon winter wheats.
In 1907 some of the black winter
emmer seed was planted by the
Wyoming experiment station. but in
the spring of 1908 it was found that
only ~ plants survived. Among
these, however. were a few which
seemed to be of different type,
with a large coarse-grOwing straw,
and very large. composite heads.
These were used as the basis for
an improved strain of winter en-
mer. In three successive seasons
none of i: has winter killed and
has come true to type. In the fall
of 1909 a ten-acre field was sown
to this seed. In the spring of 1910
there was a yield of 691 bushels or
69.1 bushels per acre. This would
have been better but for a break
in the irrigation canal. causing a
failure in the water supply.
Mr.. Carleton believes that there
is considerable opportunity of pro-
valuable results in wheat
by the use of the many
of emmer. particularly Of
winter emmer. which when placed
under unusually stimulating condi-
tions. to produce compound or
branched heads. In reality emmer
is a subspecies of wheat. and by
its crossing with the wheat it will
add rust resisting qualities to the
hybrids.

SEW ERE TRIALS OF 4
SCHOOL TEACHER
Lost in the Snow with a Driver Who
Did not Know the Road

Lost IN the snow with Driver VINO
Did not Know the Road
Mrs. Lewis. school teacher who
came from Washington about two
weeks ago, to take school in the
Bannock valley, had an experience
which she does not care to repeat.
Finding no one to meet her, she
hired a livery rig from the Cleye-
land barn, Tuesday, of last week.
A driver was sent with the team
who was unfamiliar with the coun-
try, and unfamiliar with the require
ments of such journey. Notwith-
standing the unusual storms which
started over the new and uncom-
pleted road over the Moonshine di-
vide. The first day he wallawed
through snow all day, and stopped
at night at A. X. Carter's place, l 3
miles from town. Wednesday he
crossed into the Moonshine country,
got lost, wondered around the great
er part of the day, and arrived abou
dusk at the Evans sawmill, with
nothing to eat, and not even
match to build fire In order to
keep from freezing the horses were
taken into the cabin and placed one
on each side of the table, and using
the animals as a stove. Mrs. Lewis
and the driver were preparing to
make the best of bad situation.
After giving up nope of better ac-
comodationS, some parties from
appeared, having come for lumber,
prepard to stay over night. They
had plenty of food, and what was
more welcome. matches with which
to build a fire. They soon had a
good fire and a prospective night OF
gloom was turned into one of COM
parative comfort. Mrs. Lewis went
home with the Arbon people, dis
missing the driver. who had caused
SO much uneasiness and annoyance,
refusing to pay for the team and
the services of the driver, because
of failure to make good.
The driver followed the other
teams to Bannock creek, turning to
the south while they went north.
That night he arrived at Earrings
camp at Michaud. six miles this
side of Pocatello, completely lost,

next day hs arrived safely home.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Dlestion, Monday, March 8, 1911.
The Municipal Election.
FOR MAYOR,
IRA B. HAGAN, JR.

The Municipal Election.
Both political parties have held eau
euses, and each has put ticket in the
feld. The election will take place on
Monday, March s.
The promises made a year ago by
DIR. Hagerthy to give the city an
economical adm m.nistration, have been
amply fulfilled. According to the
last statement of the auditor, the ex-
penditures, with single exception,
have been kept within the appropri-
ations, the Only overdraft being the
bridge account, and that to the ex-
tent of only 1915. According to this
report. the total to the credit of the
other funds is IS, ,652.33.
The amount of uncollected taxes is
very much less than in previous
years, thus showing that unusual ef-
forts have been made to reduce this
altogether too large an amount, and
that they have been reasonably sue
oessful. The amount still uncollected
is approximately s1s,947.
An administration which is able to
make 80 excellent financial showing
is clearly entitled to a continuance in
Office, and while the republican nomi-
noes this year are not the same, they
are of the same political complexion,
and are therefore entitled to the
party's cordial ami hearty support.
In his remarks on assuming the
chair at the caucus yesterday, Mr..
Knowlton struck the keynote of the
situation by declaring that the re-
publican party, though beaten in last
falrs election, is still very much
alive, is in no way discouraged, and
at least here in Ellsworth is doing
business at the same old stand.
The party's nominee, Ira B. Hagan,
r., is a young man who has made
good in every position he has held; is
independent and aggressive, and, if
elected, can be counted on to give the
city a atborough business like admin.
istration. He therefore deserves the
cordial support of all republicans.
