never be accused of being a soil rob-
Der and leave behind you depleted
soil. We must get our bread and but
ter today, but we should always have
an eye on tomcrrow's supply. Nature
has been prodigal with us, storing up
for centuries the very elements our
crops can Utilize best. We are the
stewards Of this heritage, SO we should
use, but net abuse, our Inheritance.
Yea, we should do more. We should

Grafton can truthfully say of this one,
the farms are better for their having

PHOSPHATE LANDS
TO BE RESTORED
Several Thousands Of Acres may be
Opened to Settlement As a Result
Of The Effort Of One Of Our Black
foot Men.

For some time past Probate Judge
]. H. Anderson of this city, has been
working with the end in view of hav-
ing restored to entry for homestead
purposes vast acreage of land in
Bonneville, Bingham, Bannock and
Bear Lake counties which under pres
ent conditions have been withheld
from such entry under an order Of the
secretary of the interior, declaring
them to be phosphate lands. While
the lands included in this area have
much phosphate, and at certain points
show large deposits of it, there is not
sufficient deposit on all the lands that
are named to justify their being with
held from settlement. Through the eff
forts of Judge Anderson, Senator Bor-
ah and Congressman French have in
troduced the bill drafted by Judge An
derson authorizing the opening of the
Phosphate lands to entry and settle
ment under the Agricultural Land
Laws, the Entryman to have patent
to surface and the phosphates reserved
to the United States.
The necessity for the passage
of such bill is not only evidenced by
the large area Of good farming land in
several of the Eastern Counties Of
this State now Withheld from entry un-r
der phosphate reserves, but the De-
partment of the Interior has just re-
Gently made another order reserving
as phosphate land in those counties in
Idaho, and withdrawing them from set
tlement or entry, approximately 1885,
800 acres. This withdrawal is Phos-
phate Withdrawal Nc. 8, Idaho No. 2.
About 100000 acres have been with
drawn under similar orders in this
state within the last four or five years.

Good Tips for
Some of Us

If man takes you to expensive
dinners and talks dollars and dia-
monds to you he is not serious. IL
to one cheap lunch he adds Discus
sion on economy, then get your third
finger ready.
II married life seems fiat and all
interest in things has evaporated, add
a few congenial friends, some heaIth
ful pastimes. and, If necessary,
change the furniture. Stir the whole
into fresh atmosphere of deter
mination and see what happens!
If you are looking old, unattractive
and generally at your worst, get
shampoo, facial massage, bushels
of fresh air and smile at something
funny. You will have better chance
to face the world and it's music.
Selfshness crushes out love; most

tains only 1895. or 15S per cent. Of the
entire s,s17 establishments reported
by the Federal census, furnish em-
ployment to S2.7 per cent. of the total
number of wage earners, and produce
SS.7 per cent. of the total value of all
products. In other words, and TO
make the matter palmer, of the
entire SSH establishments with which
we are credited by the census of 1910,
s42 per cent. furnished employment
to only 1919 per cent. of the total
working force employed in the fac
tories and workshops of New Jersey
and produced only 11.2 per cent. of
the value of all goods made.
The above brief analysis of the
latest federal census figures show how
misleading the mere number of estab-
lishments may be in any statistical
presentation OF Industry, and should
render it unnecessary to say anything
in defense of the State reports on the
same subject, which present each
year a compilation based on in
dividual reports, certified by the firms
as to accuracy, from every real fac
tory and workshop establishment in
the State The data thus obtained is
