The Farmers day fair at American
Falls this year will prove a bigger
and better event than ever before,
and the committees now working on
the project state that the utmost
encouragement is being given every
feature. and that the exhibits will
be of most gratifying proportion.
Already exhibits are being col
lected, and while the bulk of the
collection consists of grasses at this
time, each sample is being taken
care of in the best possible manner,
is well wrapped and placed in
cellar where it will keep in good
shape for the big show.
Chairman Earring of the grains
and grasses department states that
the grass exhibit will exceed any
thing presented at previous fairs
and will be we'll out of the way by
the time the grain samples COM
mence coming in. 1t is not possible
to take the grain samples to any
large extent at this time, owing to
the fact that much of it is not yet
ripe enough for good show purposes,
but it will be possible to collect
the finest sort of grain within the
next two weeks.
The farmers are taking special

FIRST NATIONAL ENLARGING
Work Now Proceeding Which Will
Give Considerable Room to
the Institution.

For several days past workmen
have been busy tearing out some OF
the structure in the rear rooms of
the first National bank building,
and when completed the institution
will have a great deal more room
with which to handle its constantly
increasing business.
There will be additional space in
the lobby of about fourteen feet
square, Cashier Doran's office will
be increased in size, and there will
be a new directors room. A new
vault is being built directly in the
rear of the existing vault, and in
every way the improvement will
be worked out to better facilitate
business.

has ruled that all prize-winning ex-

be retained by the association, and

Particular attention is being given

week the various committees will

than ever, and rare samples will be
taken.
The dates of the fair are Septem-

Members of the state highway
commission consisting of President
Theodore Turner, Miles Cannon and
DR.. Little, accompanied by the state
engineer, Frank King, we're in
town last Thursday night, and
stopped several hours to talk over
the proposed state highway leading
from Pocatello to Boise, this being
on the line of the southern route
through the state.
The commission was met by local
enthusiasts at Raft river, and the
party was late getting in. At the
Remington an appetizing supper was
served, during which addresses were
made by Theodore Turner, Miles
Cannon and DR.. Little. All talks
dwelt upon the necessity of good
roads improvement, and while the
commission members did not COM
nit themselves in any manner in
respect to choice between the
southern route and the route lead
ing through Blackfoot, HALEY and
Camas Prairie, the sentiment APP
parently existed that this is the
route more generally adapted for
year-round purposes.
Miles Cannon is a speaker worth
listening to. He is entertaining in
every word, and has a fund of infor

. There is some sign of life at the
big power site of the Southern
Idaho Water Power company, at the
falls, and a good many men are EN-
ployed in work of various kinds. The
steel bridge across the east side
of the river, and reaching to the
island, is about completed. and the
flooring is nearly all down. This
bridge is to be used by the com
pany in hauling to and from the
old plants, which are to be used
hereafter merely as auxiliary plants.
The bridge is of steel and is an
attractive structure. =

Now that the water is down, work
men have constructed a trestle and

MORTGAGING YOUR INCOME

4 MORTGAGE is the most ingen
~ ious device to compel the pay.
ment Of debt. By the same
token, it is good investment for the
man with money to lend. But that's
another story. In this talk, those are
addressed who are still in the interest
paying class and not yet among the
fortunate ones who receive interest.
The devil of debt seems to be on the
heels of great many persons nova
days on account of the many seductive
temptations there are to live beyond
ones means.
Getting into debt is putting a mort
gage on your income. 1t is discount
ing tolnorrow's independence for to-
days good time.
n Debt is monument to a young
mans weakness, grown mans folly
and an old mans failure.
y Dehtc is a quitclaim to your wife's
confidence, your children's ambitions
and your own self-respecr.
"Then what are we going to do?"
says a chorus of young fellows and
business men and aspiring women and
Z laborers and clerks and farmers and
managers and hundreds more,
Do without,
I It will take some stamina and cour-
age.
But you'll be able to held yeuf head
up-and that's more than you can do
now if you are head over heels in debt.
You will escape debt if you will plan
your expenditures more Systematically
and you won't need to be penurious,
either. 1t will pay you to learn what
you can do without and still get along
with the full respect of your neighbors
and friends.
Is there mortgage on your salary
before you earn it? If so, there is a
way out.
Maintaining bank account tends
to prevent your getting into debt.
There are several reasons for this.
In the first place, it provides you with
surplus cash to use for emergencies,
unexpected necessities, or even such
Injuries as you feel you ought to have
Then there is, also, the compound
Interest working for you all the time.
Moreover, such an account helps you

THE MASCULINE VIEWPOINT
- ENATOR NELSON is a canny oil

n ENATOA NELSOIS is canny Ole
statesman. He expresses the
common masculine view OF wom-
an suffrage more frankly than most.
He is not sure he has made up bis
mind about it, but he will not oppose
it, if the women want it. If he were
sure they wanted it, his support would
probably be more positive than that of
his colleague.
That is the way most men feel about
it. They want what their own women
want, and if their own are Indifferent,
are influenced by the predominant de-
alre Of women they know. How else
does suffrage come In some States and
wait in others? Men are the deciding
voters, and Women the campaigners.
Suffrage may win by male majority
and female minority, because an ear
nest minority is stronger than an in
different majority. But it cannot win
against an earnest majority of women
in touch with men,
The way to get suffrage is to prevail
upon women to want it; the way to
convert legislators is to besiege their
family women; the way to influence
wise old statesmen is to convince them
that YOU are in earnest.-Exchange.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-10-14

systematic in your business methods
and teaching you how to say mo" to
importunate present demands for mon
ey which you ought to save for future
needs.
Of course, illness or other misfor-
tune may come to you, and then your
outgo will exceed your income, but if
you have been wise and saved money
you need not suffer for want of neces-
sites and comforts.
Don't you think you will do better
work when you know that no one can
come to you with a claim on next
weeks income.
Beside the actual amount of money
you lay by and the compound interest
it will earn, the practice of rigid econ
omy will make you better business
man, a better man to your family and
friends, and better citizen generally.
Of course, the conclusion must not
be drawn that all kinds Of debt are to
be avoided at all times. For example,
there is nothing disgraceful or unbusi-
ness-like about such a debt as is in
volved in mortgaging your home when
you buy it. If you save regularly and
gradually pay off the mortgage, you
are only following the thrifty example
of thousands of other ambitious per-
sons.
If you have a mortgage to pay,
adopt the plan of making regular de-
posts in savings account to take
care of the payments.
In this manner the interest on your
mortgage will be partially paid for by |
interest on your savings and you will |
find it much easier to meet your pay
ments when due.-Exchange

THE HAPPY HEART

Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but day;
Better the lowly deed were done,
And kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword Of fame
The dust will hide the crown;
Any one shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet
And left to Heaven the rest.
