COOPERATE FOR GOOD ROADS
Work Together for Highway I'M
provsment, Says Mr.. Houston.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment OF agriculture says that the state
and federal governments should work
together for highway improvement, In
order that a large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con-
struction may not be wasted.
In his own department, the Office OF
public roads has been demonstrating
the value of proper road building by
the construction of certain object-les-
son roads, and the forest service is
carrying out his idea of national and
state cooperation in road building
The law requires that ten per cent. OF
the gross receipts from the national
forests shall be spent in the states in
which the forests are situated. This
money is expended for road improve
ment, under direct control of the sec
retary of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under this
act, based on the receipts of the ma
'tional forests for the fiscal year ending
juno 80, 1913, is 1924, ,63S.6S. From
the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent.
road item, there is an additional 1884,
S31.10 which Is still available.
In administering the ten Der cent

The new band instruments came
Monday, and now all the players are
quipped with the finest horns ever
made. All the horns are silver plat
cd, made by York & Son Of Grand
Rapids, Michigan They are net
imported, for the good reason that i
is recognized by bandsmen al over
the world that the finest hcrns are
made in the United States; the
German and French horns are not
in their equal anywhere.
The big tuba is one of the most
striking horn ever brought to Idaho.
1t has a 20-mch bell and the vol
ume Of sound that it will pour forth
would shake poorly built houses off
their foundations The tone is mu-
sical, however, a great volume of
real music, not merely big noise.
All the others, too, are Of the
same quality, though none of them
have the volume of the tuba. The
baritone horn is as fine an mstru-
ment as one would wish to see or
hear

what to do about a practice hall. Th
band can practice in the church
basement, and will, no doubt, at

LADIES' AID.
Busy With The Various Forms
OF Holiday Charity.

The Ladies Aid met last Wednes-
day at the home of Mrs. Olen Gar
lock- Two sewing machines were
there, also plenty of willing workers
and good headway was made upon
some of the garments for the COM
ing bazaar The unfinished gar
menfs were taken home by various
members to be finished. The beauti
full work being done by these in
dustrious women is in addition to
their home work, which most of the
women have a plenty. When you
are feeling selfish or abused,
think how some of these women
are giving their time and Loving
service.
The pastors wife has been max
ing some fine wool dresses fer
little girls who know how to appreci-
ate them. If any one reading this ar.
ticle has am old dress or skirt that
could be used to make over into a
school dress fer a little girl, she
would do a kind deed by giving the
same into the hands of any member
of the Ladies Aid Society.
The date of the bazaar is set for
Saturday December 6. The Old
Ward Hall will be the scene of the
Festivities. Great preparations are
being made to accommodate a barge
company. Prof. Garow has volunder
ed that the manual training class
will put up the booths. All the 9TH
er teachers have kindly consented
to assist, particularly i'm the way of
preparing and serving refreshments
These will be served upon the plan
Of pay for what you get, and the
Aid Society hope that many will fine
it enjoyable to make their entire
supper in the dainty Japanese Tea
room.

Thresherman's Report for 1913
Good Grain Yields All Over the TractProsperity the
Farms, and Fine Promise for the Future

Neil Morrison, on the northwest part
of the tract, had the best barley in
quality in that section, while F. S.
Stewart raised the greatest quantity
that we. threshed this season. w. j.
Taper also had splendid crop of bar
ley and oats, and his wheat also was
fine Among the splendid crops of
that vicinity were those of Farmer
Bill, F" VIM. Flavel and H. Fulbright
Joe Bee and Fred Crane had new var
iety of oats, the kernel of which is al
most twice as large as other oats.
We were stuck in the mud only once
the entire season, and then only for
less than two hours We we're cour-
teously treated everywhere, and shall
surely remember the splendid meals
that were served, and are only too anx
ious to get our feet under the same ta-
bles next threshing season. We are
also indebted to the Richfeld highway
commission and to the district for the
excellent roads and safe bridges they
have built tl
The machine is to be rebuilt and
thoroughly overhauled and some new
Improvements added before the season
of 1914; among them new chatter and
recleaning machine will be added, also
a new tailings device.

Editor Recorder:-In In accordance witt
your request l herewith give you 8
summary of the threshing work in this
section as we found it.
The Macarthur machine commenced
operations on the tract September 18th
on the Mulvaney farm east of town and
finished November 2 at F. S. Stewart s
splendid place west of Richfeld In
nearly every instance, the farmers of
the tract got more grain than they ex-
pected E. H. Allen built granary,
as he thought, sufficiently large to hold
his crop, but we filled it to overfowing,
the surplus being sacked and piled on
the outside Bert Davidson and Mark
johnson had the largest yields of bar
ley, 81 and SO 9-10 bushels per acre,
respectively. These crops were pro-
duced on ground that was planted to
potatoes last year Martin Lucich had
the best crop of Blue Stem wheat on
the tract.
Among the many splendid crops that
came under our observation and which
were especially meritorious, were those
of Mr.. Van Tassell and Chas. Spalding
and the well managed farm Of C. O.
Paulson. all of which have turned out
heavy crops of wheat, oats and barley.

road fund forest officers charged with
the actual plans and expenditures in
the neghborhood of their forests have,
in almost all cases, secured an equal
or a larger cooperative fund from
state authorities for the building OF
certain pieces of road.
With the money thus expended,
many important roads are being built
or put in repair. One on the Wyom-
ing national forest, six miles long,
makes accessible to farmers a large
body of timber and opens up region
of great scenic beauty. In northwest
ern Arizona, part of the fund will be
used in connection with the LeFevre-
Bright Angel road, important because
it makes accessible to tourists the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado. In one
place, the ocean to ocean highway
crosses the Apache national forest,
Arizona, and on this project the forest
reserve service and the local authori-
ties co-operated enthusiastically. On
the Florida national forest in western
Florida, steel bridges and graded roads
have, under the stimulus Of this fund,
taken the place of corduroy, bog and
sand
This federal road fund is now avail
able in all national forest states of the
west. Just as fast as returns come in,
the forestry officials say, similar
fund will become available in states in
which eastern national forests are be-
ing secured.

were all taken out of the same un-

however, ground quite coarsely,

individuality that makes it a really

Scope, from the scientific inves-

movement to settle the New York
City Jews upon farms.
The regular business of the circle
was then taken up, part of which
was the voting in of three new
members. The refreshments were
chicken sandwiches and the most
aromatic coffee. The members were
loath to leave even after the hour
for closing, as women sometimes
find something to talk about as well
as men. However, they finally dis
persed to gather in the next meet
ing at Mrs. Fowlers.
