Pierre Lafage. chef de cuisine of the
hotel at which many New York city wom-
en- entertain guests at dinners long to be
remembered, has a chance to study the

been preparing menus for a clientele that
is national and cosmopolitan. and he has
learned a great deal-oh. a very great

Eight or nine courses usually compose
the dinner" said Pierre Lafage in French.
THAT is the average, but We often add
more. Where the food is delicate nine
courses is only an average dinner.
Each course must be satisfying in it's
cooking, 1t must be i'm the right sequence.
Each must prepare for the one that fol-

do for its taste. They want to see allur-

"THEY THAT TAKE THE SWORD

With the fall of Adrianople the
Turks virtually have been swept
out of European Turkey. An isolated
garrison remains in the town of Sou

Constantinople is still unbroken. But
the allies have had no notion of TAX

ABOLISH THE WARD SYSTEM

Every city election emphasizes the
necessity for the abolition OF the
present ward system.
Take Emmett, for example. There
are three wards and two councilmen
are elected from each. The voters
within the boundaries Of each ward
elect The officers from that ward, the
rest of the voters having nothing TO
say, although every councilman has
a voice in conducting the business af-
fairs Of the entire city. Isn't is plain,
then, that every voter in the city
ought to have the right to say who
shall be elected to represent him ir-
respective of whether he resides in
the First, Scond or Third wards?

THE FARM ADVISER.

To a layman, the plan to employ q
farm adviser for Canyon county
seems TO be good one provided:
First, that it will not eventually
mean the saddlng of another salar-
led official on TO the people of this
county; and,
Second, that the position be filed
by a man who is a practical farmer
and one who possesses brains and
progressive ideas, and not some i'm
mature theorist from the agricultural
college who has never gone up
against the real problems Of farming.
The Index does not bring out these
points with a view of throwing cold
water on the farm adviser plan, but
rather with the object of offering a
few suggestions that may be helpful
in starting off right, for to make a
bad beginning would undoubtedly
have the effect of forever putting an
end TO campaign of education among
the farmers that is especially needed
in this section of the West where new
settlers from the East are continu-
ally coming to take up land and farm
it under entirely different conditions
than those they have been accustom-
ed to.
We certainly believe in agricultur-
al education. We believe that with
a proper understanding of soils and
cultivation and of stock breeding, the
output of the farms Of Canyon coun-
ty could be more than doubled and
soil waste prevented, but experience
must be added to the education OBJ
tanned in a school before man is
capable of becoming the right sort
of farm adviser.
IL may be putting it too strong to
say that every farm is problem by
itself; but it is certain that there
are in this county scores of different
problems. An experiment made, for
example, at the state university might
not prove anything to the farmer in
this county, and method of farm
ing that would be a success in the
Emmett country might prove TO be a
rank failure in the Boise valley or
even in the lower end of this valley.
So it is very plain that the man en-
ployed as teacher must possess
more than theory-he must have the
brains and practical farm experience
to solve the problems that may arise
under varying conditions.
The farm adviser plan has been
successful in most cases in the Mid
die states, and there is no reason to
doubt that what has been done there $
can be done here. The farmer who J
insists that nobody can show him any !
thing is, of course, fool, On the 9
other hand, it is equally foolish to /
try TO push advice onto the farmer
without his consent. He must be
shown. And IL you can show him by 6

more profitable way than he has c
