The closing hours OF the commit

Will Grow Corn.

f. FL Galley. who came here
from southern Minnesota some few
months ago and who selected some
land in the Rockland valley, came
in from his farm this week for
few days rest Mr.. Bailey is a farm
raised man and went into Minnesota
when that was the frontier of civil
lation and saw that section taken
out of the hands of the Indian and
made into gardens and when he
came to Idaho he knew what he
should expect in tanning the wilc
land into producing fields. 1t die
not take him long to see that there
was something behind all the talk
he had heard and all he had read
concerning this section and he soon
was safely settled upon a piece o.
land Mr.. Bailey is not going TO
devote his attentions entirely To the
growing of those crops which have
proven so successful, but rather
has turned his farm into an exper-
imental farm and has small patches
to various kinds OF grain. He IS
proud, and justly so. OF four acre
piece of corn which stands four
inches high and which has every
indication of keeping up its record
for growth until the fall. He Is
very pleased over the fact that the
late frosts do not bother his farm
and win spend some time ano
money planting fruit trees. He al
ready has a number of the small
fruit brushes planted and says tna'
every thing you plant will grow.

Care to Try This Plan.
In these days of high prices anxious

1t is said there was once a man who
so dearly loved his evening meal that
ever day while he worked he did
nothing but plan what it should be. At
the thought Of the viands his mouth
would water and he would rejoice over
the food that was coming.
One day it occurred to him that he
got more enjoyment from the long an
ticipation than from the brief realiza-
ton. and then the thought came to
him. Why not have the anticipation
without spending the money that the
dinner had been costing? So he tried
the plan.
II shall have kibobs and fine pilaf
tonight he would assure himself all
day. land after that wire cake and
yogurt.'
He would lick his lips in happy an
ticipation while he worked. and when
night came he would eat simple meal
of olives and bread and remark:
"'Tis as II had eaten"
The plan worked so well that in the
course Of years he saved enough money

School DiscipIine,

The young teacher should learn and
the older teacher remember that for

lax discipline there is another who fails
on account of overgovernment Some
teachers assume the same attitude as

them to move on. as there was an ordi-
nance prohibiting crowds gathering on
the streets. One man demonstrated,
saying that two did not make a crowd.
