BANCROFT GIVES INTERVIEW
Is Certain That Road South viii Be
Built Soon.

Hollister, Nov. 13.-W. H. Bancroft,
President of the Oregon Short Line,
gave out the following to The Herald
late Thursday, in reply to these ques-
tions:
Can you give us any new informa-
ton on the proposed extension into
Nevada?
Mr.. Bancroft: Our surveyors, you
know, have just completed new sur
Vey through that country.
Do you still intend to build into
Wells?
Mr.. Bancroft: That has not been
decided. We are considering going
right down through into Palisade.
Why has that change been contem-
plated?
Mr.. Bancroft: In order to avoid
pulling new tonnage up the grade out
OF Wells. Our surveyors located a line
on the hill into Palisade.
You are certain, then, that the line
will be built?
Mr.. Bancroft: Yes.
When? ...
Mr.. Bancroft: We do not know de-
finitely. Probably very soon.
In the spring?
Mr.. Bancroft: Oh, I wouldn't say
that now!-Hollister Herald.

The ALUMNI CHALLENGED
Thanksgiving Day Football Game For
High School Teams.

Football is the original 1T when you
come to talk about high school and
college games. The football game,
unlike football teams, improves with
age. That's why the game was played
better this fall than ever before. The
team OF 1913 maintains that there
never was better team wearing the
blue and white than this years war
riors. We are itching for the chance
to prove that all the combined teams
OF former years do not equal us in
football prowess. We therefore chal-
lenge the combined alumni teams to
turkey day game with the end that we
may have the opportunity OF demon
strating our superiority. Now you
much Overrated and dissapated has
beens. either groom yourselves for an
awful beating or else concede us the
bacon. Done this 18th day of Novem-
Der, 1913, in the best OF faith and with
the firm conviction that hasbeens are
hasbeens and cant come back.
(Signed) TEAM OF 1918.

LACK OF FIELD RULES AND OF.
FICIALS RESPONSIBLE.
Blackfoots Only Run Due to End
Run Through RoOters Swarming
About Field.

Twin Falls fell victim to the Black
foot team in hOtly contested game
which was scoreless up to the last
quarter. Twin Falls went into the
enemies territory last Friday with the
above result, which was largely due to
the lack of proper policing of the
grounds. At the close of the game a
Blackfoot back went around the crowd
OF rooters and made gain enough to
the next play make goal from the
field. At no time could the Twin
Falls men get to the runner owing to
the crowd which kept them away. The
score of to which gives Blackfoot
the right to the Eastern Idaho Cham
plonshlp gives no indication of the
respective merits of the two teams
and the locals are confident that in
neutral territory and proper ground
rules they can win by good safe
margin.
In the early part of the game Grid
ner for the locals was put out by a
Blackfoot official for rough play as
the official claimed, which was the
rankest injustice. Girdner has never
In the games played here ever shown
any indication of playing rough foot
ball. The allowing of the rooters
with dinner bells and megaphones to
swarm about the two teams irrespec-
tive OF the ordinary ground rules
which compel them to stay back out
side, was the real reason for the VIC
tory for Rlackfoot Whenever given a
chance to make their plays without
| interference by the crowd, the Twin
Falls team was able to gain at will.

DRY FARM SPUD CROP
D. G. Ferguson Raised 842 Sacks of
Spuds ON Eight Acres.

That Idaho is coming to the front
as dry farming country has been
acknowledged for some years past. D.
G. Ferguson, who resides near Artes-
ian City in the eastern part of the
county, reports that he raised on eight
acres 642 sacks OF first-class, mar
ketable potatoes without drop OF
water other than what was furnished
by nature. He sold the tubers for
seventy-five cents per sack or lit
tie better. than sixty dollars per acre.
Pretty good for dry farm proposition

derstand Mr.. Haynes and associates
operating stage line from Yellowstone
are willing to reduce present stage
rates 20 per cent, which will largely
develope this travel. Please have your
club, as well as prominent members,
wire Senator James H. Brady at Wash
ington to continue his efforts with the
interior department to secure such re-
duction in order to prevent contract
for stage line service going to people
on north side OF park. We must do all
we can to retain travel through pres

action at once. Nebraska is with you.
Nebraska IL entering upon cam

tourist travel through the states and
cities In this region and on westward

We want to do here all we can to pre-
serve the existing arrangements, pro-
viding the rates ere reduced.

FARMERS UNION NOT TRUST
State and Federal Law Should En-.
courage Cooperation, Whether
by Capital or Labor. l.-.-

The difference is very clear be-
tween illegal trust and associated eff
fort which is morally and legally
right. II certain farmers unite to ship
their produce in an endeavor to se-
cure a fair price, that Is Cooperation.
But II this same union prevents other
farmers from selling their produce
unless they join 1t or pay a tax to
it, that is Illegal restraint In trade.
Labor may associate in union to
secure fair wages by proper means
that is cooperation; but if the labor
union estops non-union men from
work, 1t commits the crime of re-
straining trade.
In appropriating money for enforc-
ing the. antitrust law, congress says
none OF 1t can be used to prosecute
farmers organizations or labor unions.
But such action does not exempt
law itself should be made right, says
the Farm and Home. We farmers
want to know just how far we can go
in associated effort. We do not want
to cooperate in good faith, only to
wake up and find that we have vio-
lated some law the enforcement of
which may get US into serious diff
Guilty. State and federal law should
encourage cooperation, whether prac-
ticed by farmers and laborers, by
other people, or by capital. How to
do this, while preventing trust evils.
is hard nut to crack.

PREVENT SOFT sHELLED EGGS
Oyster Shells, Grit and Plenty of Green
Foods viii Assist in Remedyins
Conditions.

An overfatty condition is one cause
for the laying of soft shelled eggs.
Sometimes it is caused by the over
stimulation of the egg organs. brought
about by the overfeeding Of to much
spice, which is apt to cause irritation
of the egg passage.
Closely confined fowls not sup
piled with variety of food are more
liable to lay soft shelled eggs than
those having plenty of range or sup
piled with exercise in an artificial way
and fed variety of grains in well
balanced ration. Oyster shells, grit,
and plenty of green foods will assist
greatly in preventing such conditions
of the egg organs.
II your hens are too fat provide a
diet low in fat producing elements,
make the birds work for what they
get. and put one teaspoonful of sui
phate of magnesia to every pint of
drinking water twice week for few
weeks.
Should the hens still persist in lay
ing soft shelled eggs add five drops OF
fluid extract of ergot to each quart of
drinking water every other day for a
period of one week. Do not have any
other water around while giving them
the mixture. otherwise the fowls will
not touch it.
The Springfield herald., 1913-08-01

AS will be readily understood, the
commission is able and willing to sell
food at very little above cost Conse-
can buy at prices that are never above
those in the states. and that nearly
always are considerably lower.
An important part of the commits
sary plant is the Industrial and ex-
perimental laboratory in Cristobal,
where all the foods are tested and
many things, such as flavoring ex-
tracts, are manufactured.
The commission conducts more than
a dozen hotels for white Americans.
where good meals are furnished for
80 cents each; score of mess halls
for European laborers, where days
board costs forty cents, and about
twenty-five kitchens for West Indian
laborers, where board casts thirty
cents a day. Something like million
meals are served each month in these
various establishments, for nearly ev-
cry employe of the commission eats
at a government table. 1t has been
said that no private contractor in
the world feeds his employees as well
as the Isthmian canal commission.
Very few Of the men ever ate better
meals than they are getting on the
isthmus, and this is true of the Amer
leans as well as of the Spaniards and
West Indians.
