To Prepare Land
For Planting Seed

A large amount of moisture
has fallen during the past whit
er, and there is a goodly supply
of it in the soil this spring. If
this moisture is properly conser.
we'd the chances for a drought
next summer will be greatly re-
dpced. Early cultivation of the
corn land will conserve the mois-
ture and make summer cultiva-
ton more easy. In some parts
of the Eastern section Of Kan
sas the best way to prepare land
for corn is by blowing, even
though the corn is to be planted
with a lister. The land may be
either in the fab or in the spring.
Where there is not sufficient
time to pillow the land and It is
the purpose of the farmer to list
his corn. early discing is a com
mon and good practice. AS soon
as the land is sufficiently dry,
cultivation with the disc should
commence. The loose mulch left
by the disc will conceive mois-
ture, and the cultivation will IL
berate plant food, This early
diseing viii cover weed seeds and
start them to grow. They may
then be destroyed by the later
discing. 1t is a good plan to disc
the corn land early and continue
working the land till planting
time.

How She Cot Fresh Eggs.

A young lady living in a small city
had impaired her health by too conhn.
ing work in a city Office. Her ply.
stefan ordered her to a sanitarium for
rest and upbuilding, and when she re.
turned "a work he instructed her to
eat four fresh laid eggs daily; two
eggs for breakfast and the others raw
in milk. Finding It dimcult TO obtain
%dependably fresh eggs she persuaded
her mother to permit her having a
small flock in the home yard. A port.
able house was purchased and fifteen
pullets installed Ia IT, A small brother
was paid ten cents a week TO feed and
car for the flock, two bags Of ready.
mixed food were bought and the result
Of the venture was not only all the
eggs the young lady needed and a sup.
ply for the family but there was a
surplus which found a ready market
at the corner drug store, bringing ten
cents a dozen above the market price.

Clement Shorter Names Thomas A.,
Edlson az one o. Ten Greatest
Men Of Age,

Doubtless" writes Clement Short
er. 10 the Strand. 0there are many
great men living IN the world today
men with prospective greatness,
that is. or even achieved greatness
but only time can decide In my iudg-
ment, there % no man IN the world to-
day who is great Sd any walk Of life
IN SO striking a way that his contem-
poraries can unhesitatingly proclaim
him great. History has proclaimed the
elder Pitt a great man, but not so GER
tainly his son. It has not assigned his
epitket to P~aimerston OF Peel, and It
Is too early yet TO decide whetbT IL
win concede it to Gladstone OF Dis
raeli. The great man IS surely be who,
by force Of genius, has impressed him
self upon his age IN some permanent
form. Whether the achievements OF
Mr.. Roosevelt or Of Emperor william
are Of this character had better be de-
cided a century hence. Ais you ask
me, however to join Ia what can
scarcely be a serious discussion, sug-
gest that we take the name of a living
man from each country who besi by
invention-or creation, stamped himself
upon bis age. 7 therefore noaninate the
ten greatest men OF the present day
as follows:
Great Britain, Thos Hardy Great
Britain, Lord Lister; United States,
Thomas A. Edison; italy, Guglielmo
Marconi; Italy. Giacomo Puccini;
France, Francois Coppee; Austria,
Richard Strauss; Germany, Hermann

FIRST GUN OF
CAMPAIGN FIRED

Friday evening, last, the first gun OF
the Republican party in the state was
fired in the big meeting held in the
capital city, where over q thousand
enthusiastic citizens crowded into the
Pinney theater to hear the replies Of
John Maynard Harlan and ]. Adam
Bede to the claims and charges Of
Theo. Roosevelt.
From the very first the meeting was
one Of splendid enthusiasm. Mr..
Harlan went to the heart Of the cues
tons incisively. bringing the great
audience chrashing into thunderous
applause by his fine tribute to the
aims, purposes and record of the Re-
publican party since its foundation
by Abraham Lincoln; and Mr.. Bede,
by his apt anecdotes. applied to the
conditions obtaining in the present
campaign, kept the house in ap up
roar. The use of the Republican slo-
gan, Those who are not for us are
against u" aroused the party spirit
and served effectively to shake off the
lethargy which has characterized the
campaign so far.
Harlan replied to Roosevelt; his
claims. his cry Of theft; his ambitions.
He told of the Chicago convention,
and why Roosevelt lost the nomina-
ton. He defed Roosevelt to answer
him, and in the end branded him az
liar and poor loser. He was inter-
rupted once during his speech, and
the reply which he shot across the
footlights into the audience brought
cheers and applause. He made one
of the best campaign speeches that
will probably be heard in Idaho dur
ing the campaign.

Building Macadam Roads.

The first work In the systematic
road improvement in the ShOshone
Road district, which was pioneered
by Senator Fred Gooding, has been
commenced. From Shoshone to the
Big Wood River new road is be-
ing built, part of it hewn from the
lava beds, shortening the distance to
the fertile lands along that river.
The commissioners had some trou-
BILE to find just the right sort Of
gravel needed for the right sort of
q road out over the lava until a pit
was found on the ranch near where
the river crossing Is to be made.
Herex, the material desired, Is not
only the best possible to be had. but
is found in abundance and may be
easily handled. Better still, the
owners have generously offered 1t in
quantities without any
charge. It Ia said to carry the right
of clay to make AN almost
perfect macadam road, a road that
will neither wash nor wear into
chuck-holes. o
There will be about four miles of
this improved highway constructed
with the least possible delay. Other

A report of the grain yields for Nex
Perez, Latah, Idaho, Lewis and Clear
water counties for 1911, has just been
completed by State Grain Commits
sioner. D. w. Greenburg, and shows
the. total productions in bushels in
these counties to be-: Wheat, $685.
24o; barley, 3,762, 1856; oats, 1868, 24o.
The total production is estimated by
adding 20 per cent to the amount de-
hvered at the various warehouses and
in compiling the report the affidavits
from all warehousmen in the FIVE
counties were received and show the
actual amount of grain handled in
their respective houses.
Based upon the total production
being 20 per cent greater than the
amount delivered at the warehouses,
the report shows that Latah county
leads in the production of wheat and
oats, while Idaho county holds the re-
cord for barley production. fS
The estimated production of the FIVE
counties is given in bushels as fol-
lows:
Idahox-wheat. o6l Az; barley. 1.66O.-

w. c. T. U. NOTES

We have just received q visit from
Miss Christine l. Timing, one of our
most distinguished national speakers.
She began her work for the great
cause of temperance in London, Eng
land. and ten years ago came to Amer
lea. Her genius was recognized and
to-day teachers and speakers sit at
her feet for weeks, listening to her
words of wisdom. She goes from ners
to teach in the State Normal Of. Wash
ington, at large salary. During her
visit in this region she organized two
strong unions.
At the meeting Of the w. C. r. u.
last week we decided to meet twice q
month in the future. The following
members were elected delegates to
the state convention, to be held at
Nampa next week, viz: Mrs. c. M.
Nickle, Mrs. D. N. Smith, Mrs. Mark
and Mrs. Tracy. The president is an
ex-officio member of the convention.
and Mrs. Hawkes. and Mrs. Paine be-
ing members of the state executive
committe, our union will have seven
visiting delegates. though all are in
vited to attend.
We were pleased to have Mrs.
Clemens and Mrs. Douglas at our
meeting and hope they will be able to
drop in regularly. If we could have
all of our out-of-town members at the
meetings, there would be lack of in
terest. AT the close of the meeting
Mrs. Douglas presented the new presi-
dent with fragrant boquet, tied with
white ribbon. The president now
wants a gavel, painted white and tied
with white ribbon. What boy will
show his skill as whittier, and let
his sister do the rest7
Our next meeting will be held at
the home of Mrs. Maxwell, 18th and
Franklin, on the afternoon of Friday
the 9th. inst, and will occupy just
one hour and half. There will be a
little business, short program, echoes
from the convention with some good
music and little sociability. This is
the best time for delinquent members
to renew their membership. Come
everybody.

The Salvation Army has struck

us for sympathy in their affection.
At the special election last Satur.
day a tax of the half of one per cent
was voted for school purposes.
The contract for building the Pres

Bryant & Tompkins. Work began
last Thursday.
Bob Altman came into town the
other day with a bear story, and a
bears foot that makes an impression
in the dust about the size of wash
tub, to back it up. We have profound
veneration for bear stories, and al
ways accept them as gospel; but when
a foot accompanies the story we can
cheerfully recommend the slayer as
a man of truth to our confiding read
ers.
The little granddaughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. X. T. Newland died on Friday,
the 10th inst, and was buried last
Saturday. The little cherub was the

IDAHO SEMI-CENTENNIAL
ANNIVERSARY UP AGAIN

The plan OF giving proper recogni-
ton to- the semi-centennial anniver-
say of the establishment of Idaho as
territory, which occurs in 1918, has
again been reviewed, with bright pro-
spects that the plans as contemplated
will be carried out. Idaho as a gov
eminent was established fifty years
ago at Lewiston, this point remaining
the capital for ! period and the first
session of the legislature was held
here. Two years ago prominent men
throughout the state joined in an ef-
fort to have held at Lewiston . pro-
per observance of the 5Oth birthday
of the state, the plan to also include
the erection at Lewiston of some suit
able memorial. The movement met
such favor that bill was introduced
in the legislature to appropriate 5000
for the purpose Of carrying out the
plan. The bill w3s strongly endorsed
BY Governor Hawley and he made it
the subject of two special messages.
The bill passed the house and came up
for consideration in the senate during
the closing hours of the session of that
body A majority of the senate fav-
ored the bill and voted to suspend the
rules so that it could be put on final
passage, but the vote lacked the necs-
sary two-thirds majority to suspend
the rules and SO the bill died on the
calendar. @ sFa

on the Good Old Rail-
road DAYS,

An article in the American Maya
zine shows how rate regulation and
modern improvements have brought
prosperity to the railroads. Follow
ing IS an interesting article: ~.
IS Jim Hill came along one day and
taught the railroad world that it was
more economical to haul full cars in
solid train loads. 1t was as simple as
making an egg stand on end, but it
opened new epoch in railroad earn
ings. George H. Daniels promula-
gated the truth that courtesy is an
asset, and railway servants are to-
day as uniformly obliging as they
used not to be. F. H. Hartman de-
vised new style of Organization. The
Pennsylvania inculated system in its
magnificent school. Countless men
in the operating and construction de-
partments learned new ways Of doing
things.
