Plural and Singular

Well begin with box, and the plur-
al is boxes,
But the plural of OK should be oxeu,
not oXes.
Then one fowl is a goose, but two
are called geese,
Yet the plural of mouse should never
be meese;
You may find lone mouse or a
whole lot of mice,
But the plural of house is houses,
not hice.
If the plural of man is always called
men, ... :.
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be
called pen?
The COW in the plural may be COWS
or kline,
But a bow if repeated is never called
bine,
And the plural of VOW is VOWS not
vine.
And If l speak of foot and you
show me your feet,
And ! give you boot, would pair
be called beet?
If one is tooth, and a whole set
are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth
be called beeth? a..
If the singular's this and the plural
is these,
Then one may be that, and three
| would be those.
And the plural of cat is cats not cose
Yet hat in the plural would never be
hose.
We speak of brother and also OF
brethren,
But though we say mother, we never
say methren.

HATS OFF TO DRi FARMERS
(American Falls Press>

The irrieators of this section must
take eff their fa's to the dry farmers.
The latter are beating the irrigators
at every point--larger acreage, better
grain and better improvements. Inc
cause lies partly in self-reliance ana
partly in better work. If the lrrlga-
tors farmed the lands as scientifically
as the dry farmers and used judgment
in the application of water there Is
no telling what results would follow.
A drive through both the irrigated
and dry farm sections has its lessons
for every irrigator. Some pieces OF
grain on the irrigated tract nave nad
no water. Such pieces don't compare
in any way with the dry farm fields.
The reason is, the dry farmer believes
in handling the soil in such way as
to conserve the moisture, while the II
rigator places his reliance In wafer
which he did not get, paying too III
tie attention to cultivation
A considerable number of fields
which have bee nirrigated are very
much inferior to the dry farms. Some
have had too much water probaply.
and some have had too little, and
practically all of them had too little
cultivation afer planning.
Whatever the cause may be, the
matter furnishes food for thought for
all irrigators. The lesson seems TO
be to put more reliance in roper Gull
tivation and less in turning on the
water. Irrigators of this section are
not the only ones needing the les
son. In other parts of the county
and states the dry farmer is getting
better results, all things considered,
than his brother who irrigates.

NOW IT'S A SANE CHRISTMAS,

The next order of business in the
work of those who are reforming US.
is to be crusade in behalf of sane
Christmas. Progress in bringing
about sane Fourth is reported TO be
so rapid that there will not hereafter
be need of much agitation. Not all
American communities have adopted
themselves to the new policy for In
dependence Day, but 1t is claimed
that they all will fall in line before
long, and that soon the fireworks
Fourth will be merely a tradition.
Respecting the sane Christmas, de-
tails are lacking In general out
line this reform contemplates; first,
that in buying gifts people shall keep
within the expenditure which COM
mon prudence dictates; second, that
the fire risk incurred by tapers for
Christmas trees and cotton-clad
Santa Claus shall be eliminated; and,
third, that, as contribution to the
health and comfort of clerks in the
stores, new plans be adopted for holt
day purchases. 1t seems hardly sea-
sonable in these midsummer days to
be taking account of Christmas
themes. For all that, the newspapers
are giving attention to the new re-
form that calls for a sane Christmas.

after a conference with City Engineer
John P. Congdon, who is engineer
for the Ross Fork road commission,
yesterday purchased a Kelly-Spring7

The purchase was made after consid4

The roller is a ten-ton machine and

D. H. Mosely, representing tbs
Beall company of Portland, presented
an attractive proposition to the board.
He offered to bring a lotion gasoline
road roller to Pocatello, operate 1t
at his own expense for 80 days, and
if at the end of that time he had not
proven that this roller affected saw

A LITTLE LESSON ON THE HOUSE

The children of flies are lnaggots
until they are grown, then they a:e
flies
Maggots live in manure, and eat
manure to grow up and be flies.
Flies can eat manure, too.
But they eat a lot of other things
that we wouldn't eat.
They eat the stuff that a man
coughs up when he has consumption.
That is what they go to the spit
toon for.
Then the fly specks have the germs
OF consumption in them.
When flies come out of the spit
t0on they rub their forelegs together
and then rub them on their head.
that is where they lunch.
Nice clean flies.
Have one in your coffee?
Flies like open closets, because
that is wehre they lunch.
But they will leave the privy any
time to get into your mouth while
you are taking your midday amp.
When you shoe them away from
typhoid stools, they get into baby's
bottle.
Then we wonder how baby got
typhoid fever.
Flies are opposed to sewers.
They think it is trick to starye
them out.
Then they have to live on such
scraps as they can get-the vomit
of drunken men, sores on dogs and
horses, and the cold meat in the
pantry that is saved for supper.
Flies have one eternal enemy-the
housewife.
What would she think if you were
to screen your house and help her
get rid of them?

CARE OF MANURE

Manure exposed for three months
in an open barnyard during the win
ter and early spring lost NEARLY one
third of it's total fertilizing value, as
shown by chemical analysis. When
such manure was compared with
fresh manure in field experiments the
ton of yard manure produced increase
to the value of $2.15 as ten-year
average, while the ton of fresh man
ure gave an average increase of $2.96
for the same period, showing loss
in effectiveness of 81 cents per ton,
or q per cent.
When either fresh or yard manure
was reinforced with gypsum or kali
nit its effectiveness was decidedly in
cresed, but when floats or acid phos-
pate was use the gain was perry much
greater, so much SO as to make 4

LEWIS III. SWEETSER is CANDI-
DATE FOR GOvERNORSHIP
Former Iieutenant-G Governor Admits
He is in the Race to Head
Republican Ticket

Following an intimation which was
given at the close of the last Idaho
legislature, Northumberland Lew
is Fl. Sweetser, while in Twin Falls
last Saturday, declared that his is a
candidate for the nomination for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket at the
next primary election. although the
announcement is issued some time be-
fore the campaign, IT'S not the first
to be made public, as four other cam
didates have either directly or indi-
rectly placed themselves before the
people in the field.
Eyes, / am candidate stated
Mr. Sweetser, ''and base my candi-
dacy upon my record for fairness in
the past in all matters that have
come before me and upon the charact-
er of my previous services to the cltl-
zens of Idaho"
II do not wish to be candidate
for lieutenant governor again. he
continued. II have occupied that Of
fee two consecutive times, and be-
lieve that it should fall to someone
else. However, / have no desire to
retire from public life, if the ranks
of the Republican party and the peo-
pie of Idaho desire me. | have been
assured of support by friends from all
parts of the state, which gives me
confidence in placing my. candidacy
in the omen at this time"
Mr.. Sweetscr, as lieutenant-gover-
nor. was presiding officer of the state
legislature during the tenth and elev-
enth sessions of the legislature, and it
was in his performance of the duties
of this Office that he acquired a re-
putation for fairness. In spite of his
personal position upon the question
before him, he not only acted clearly
within his power, but his parliment-
ary decisions were unbiased by his
stand upon the issue at hand. In
token of the esteem in which he was
held by members of both the upper
and lower houses he was presented
with handsome gifts at tn close OF
the ninth and tenth sessions.
The lieutenant-governor who as
pires to the chief executiveship has
been in politics in Idaho for 20 years
and shows keen interest in public at
fairs. He is by occupation ranchei
in the Raft river country, where he
and his father before him were in the
cattle business for many years.
The friends of MIR. Sweetser in TWir
Falls county are already active in his
behalf, and in connection with his
followers elsewhere, are conducting
his preliminary campaign for him.

HE CATCHES A GLIMPSE.OF THE
a. SEAAiY SIDE

Upton Sinclair Is reasonably certain
TO start something, again. Judging
IRON dispatches flom Delaware, he
has the opportunity of his life. An
olher bomDshell about the size OF
THE Jungle" is due to explode.
Delaware is that glorious common
wealth OF the far east that boasts OF
two counties at high tide and three
lat low tide. Recently its title passed
to the Dupont powder trust.
Among the other bric-a-brac hand
ed down to Delaware from the days
iof the Dutch and the Swedes Is a
choice collection OF blue laws. These
seem to have survived even after
those of Connecticut were consigned
TO the scrap pile of oblivion.
Under one of these Delaware blue
laws Sinclair was arrested the other
day charged with the heinous crime OF
playing lawn tennis on Sunday! There
lls nothing in the report to show that
The carried his criminality to the ex,
IRENE of yelling love forty but the
fact that he played tennis on Sunday
was established beyond doubt. The
crime was committed at Arden, a sim
gle tax county.
Sinclair was found guilty, not only
of playing himself, but of debauchinS
others to the extent of having them
play with him. He was sentenced 20
IS hours in the New Castle county
workhouse at hard labor.
The author took his medicine. He
Slept on the stone floor of the steel
cell without a blanket because the
bunk was alive with vermin. He
wheeled stone in the quarry for seven
hours. He was subjected to two
baths. He found the place reekine
with. disease among the 336 inmates
He found an extentive factory for the
manufacture of clothing to be sole
in New York lin competition with the
Iittput of the sweat-shops
While the other inmates slept, Sin
clair composed a poem, THE Mena
grie," in which he paid his respects
Ito the vermin that crawled over thu
bodies, hunks and clothing of tn
prisoners; and he lost three pounds
because he refused to swallow
mouthful of the miserable food dish
ed up to the unfortunates.
Let the tribolites of Delaware b.
on their guard. If Upton Sinclai
does not let the light of the goth cen
|tury civilization in upon their blu
laws and their workhouse, then thu
|author of 1.-The Jungle must be Sc
, down for all time as tawdry four

WHAT WE MUST DO WITH THE
FLY NEXT YEAR, AND HOW
1.-THE Statesman)

All the things the Statesman has
recommended for this year should be
remembered and practiced next year.
There should not be one single pile
of manure permitted to breed flies
undisturbed. But If we begin early
enough, if we catch the original egg
laying fly in April, we shall not have
to be so careful of screens and fly
papers and rubbish heaps.
Professor Hodge of Worcester uni
versity first asked the question, why
not catch the original pair of flies in
April?" In an address to the Ameri-
can Civic association, Professor Hodge
said. IF, beginning next spring, ev-
cry family will adopt effective meas
ures to kill few hundred flies that
succeed in surviving the winter, I am
convinced that we could relegate our
window screens to the scrap heap, so
far as protection against musca do
mestica is concerned"
Outdoor Fly Traps
He plans certain lines of attack,
all directed against the adult fly out
OF, doors. The first Of these lines con-
sists of the effort to trap the flies at
their source Of food supply. On the
supposition that everything in the
way Of waste food which is attrac>
tive to flies is or can be placed IN
garbage cans or swill barrels, ne be-
lieves that a double screen trap can
be attached to this receptacle In such
a way as to catch every fly that is at
tracted to 1t. He shows that In some
cities the rules of the boards OF
health require that all such recepta-
cles should be tightly covered. He
considers that this ID q serious mis-
take, since 1t drives the flies from the

1t is easy enough to HOPE fer a
bigger business or better salary In
1912, but no man ever WISHED his
way to success.
The world is llled with men who
arise in the morning damned full of
rosy aspirations and who 60 to bed at
night with these same aspirations UNI
filled, unrealized, as far in the future
as ever.
The big quest with you, Mr.. En-
ployer or Employee, is not what you
are HOPING to do in 1912, but what
are you DOING today to ENFORCE
these hopes and turn them into cash I?
Things move along so rapidly now
a-days that people who say cit can't
be done" are always interrupted by
somebody doing it.
When the going's hard, it's up to
you to go harder.
Place value on yourself and never
mark it down.
Fortune smiles only on those who
hustle for the fortune.
Don't sit down in the meadow and
wait for the cow to back up and be
milked-go after the COW.
When you strike hill use more
steam.
When business is dull, don't walt
for it to come In, go out after it.
When you get into tight place
and everything goes against you until
it seems you cannot hold on minute
longer, never give up then, for that
Is Just the place and time when the
tide will turn.
