consequently it was a total loss.

J. Elmer Gibbs of Malad gave an
interesting address on the matter of
farmers elevators, and stated that
the farmers Of his section had start
ed such an enterprise on a capital of
5000 two years ago, and today their
bank account was double, and the
institution was all paid for. He evil

business. and he also advised the
farmers not to sack their grain, as
the bulk product is far more profit
able. He advised the use of the
topper scale. and not the automatic.

Distribution Of Funds
Nov. with reference to the distri-
button Of the appropriation according
to acres and the population, this mat.
ter was presented to the committee
by men who were earnestly trying to
decide how this appropriation should
be distributed; and, as the senator
from Georgia said on Saturday in his
remarks, it was decided to distribute
it according to rural population upon
the advice Of the representatives of
the different agricultural colleges Of
the country and not upon the sugges-
, ton Of any state or any particular in.
dividual.
1--WE have in many OF the states
large farms, farms running as high
as from 5000 to 10000 acres, owned
by one man; we have in other states
small farms. consisting of from one
to five or 10 acres. The man who il
on the small farm is entitled to just
as much educational advantage as
the man who is on the larger farm.
It seems to me that it IL human be-
ings, and not broad acres. that we
are trying to educate; we are trying
to improve the man; SO that the
man, by his superior knowledge, may

ded wealth to our country. sin.

this bill and enact it into law at the
earliest possible moment.
The work being done by the agri-
cultural department and the agricul-
tural colleges of the various states
in demonstrating on the ground in a
practical way to the farmer the adj
vantages of scientific methods ap-
piled to agriculture is SO beneficial
and far'reaching in effect that there
can be no question as to the advisa-

valid West, Of Oregon, as we'll as
the departments of education and
state colleges of the three states,

the three states, commencing March

Lister says: II am heartily in favor
of the campaign. l feel the idea OF

schools during which this line shall
be made leading feature is good
one. AS a result of such a week not
only the pupils of the public schools
but also the parents of the pupils

benefit"
Governor Haines commends highly
the results Of the original Holder
campaign held last fall, and hopes
that all parts of Idaho may he GOV

Because we made the observation

we do believe that long procession
of newspaper men who have entered
the journalistic field there with high

BE SAFE AND SANE
(Health Bulletin.

The Lord helps those who help
themselves.
! But it is not to be expected that
those who deliberately transgress the
laws of nature. either through ignor-
ance or wilfully, are likely to escape
the consequences.
Mothers allow their young chill
dren to play in the crowded street
and blame the automobile driver for
the sad result that calls for little
white casket. Men and women trifle
with or neglect their sanitary sur.
roundings and their friends lament
the untimely and premature ending
of a useful career. The fault is not
with our stars, but with ourselves,
that we are siokly underlngs and
that we do not live out the years we
think we are entitled to.

The horrors of death from this cause
are similar to those Of rabies, where

Tetanus usually develops in from
six to eight days after injury. Fol-

The only reasonably certain pre-

reduced the development of tetanus

treatment.
The danger from such burns is too
