Gate for Girls

A new design is out. for an up.
holstered front gate which seems
destined to become very popular.
The foot board is cushioned and
there is warm soapstone on each
side; the instep being adjustable. so
that short girl can bring her lips to
the line of any given mustache with
out trouble. If the gate is occupied
at 1890 p. m. an iron hand extends
from one gate post. takes the young
man by the left ear, turns him around
and he is at once started homeward
by steel foot. The girl can if she
likes set this part at later hour
thaa 1890.

GOVERNOR
SAYS CLEAN Up

Springtime is cleaning time. All
very we'll so far as it goes, but why
not all the time cleaning timer
Dirt is not less harmful or less un-
slightly at other seasons. Dirt is
dirt all the time and always HARM
full. Vigorous cleaning in spring.
time. and a little of it the rest of the
year, is not unlike man who takes
good bath once year and contents
himself with just washing his face
and hands the rest of the time. How
ever, now is a good time to start
something and accordingly there is
a movement on to make a cleaner
State than it has ever been in the
past. The Governor of Idaho has
officially proclaimed the week be-
ginning May 4. 1914, as cleanup
week, at which time every citizen is
expected to take hand in this
cleanup movement. We are we'll
aware that some cities, where the
season is more advanced than others,
will have had their Cleanup" be-
fore the time designated, but it will
do such places good to join in a
movement and have an extra Clean
up" None are so clean that they
connot be cleaner. Every dirty
yard, every dirty vacant lot. every
dirty basement and house, every
dirty barn, every dirty store. alley
or street must be cleaned. 1t must
be the business of every citizen and
of every nonresident holder of prop
erty to clean up his dirty premises
at this time. Failure to clean up
will not only serve to emphasize
your habit of uncleaness and mark
you as a bad citizen, but it will lead
to something which will be more
likely to jolt your sensibilities and
incidentally your pocketbook; name
ly, prosecution. For dirt we have
no use, and you have no excuse.
Idaho expects every man to do
his duty"

A Young Journalist

The following editorial, taken
from the columns of the Union
Labor Journal of Bakersfield, Calf,
of which the editors son, Coral F.
Roberts, is associate editor, is as
sound a piece of logic as one will
find these days, and in its adoption
we commend it to our contemporaries
for their prayerful consideration,
as it fits into the Senatorial campaign
here to nicely:
IF you want the respect of clean
people, be clean. If you are ad-
vancing clean cause, be clean. No
man can afford to be unmanly or un-
fair to an opponent. No matter
how undeserving an opponent may
be, you are but lending power to
that opponent to fight him unfairly.
The American idea of fair play de-
mands that full and complete justice
be done to an adversary.
"As a matter of fact. it is better to
devote ones energi-s toward show
ing the righteousness and integrity
of ones own cause than it is to
dwell entirely upon the rascality of
an opponent"

REAL BENEHC|AR|ES
Of PARCEL POST

The parcel post system which
Uncle Sam inaugurated the first of
1913 in the belief that the high cost
of living would be throttled and the
farmer would be greatly benefited
by shipping his produce directly to
the consumer in the city has failed
utterly in bringing about such re-
suits. says officials of the Chicago
post-office department. In reality
the thing that has occurred is exactly
that which the opponent of the par
eel post said would occur-that is,
the system has worked out to the
entire benefit of the big mail order
houses in Chicago and to them alone.
The Chicagopost -office. which is
one of the largest in the country. is
now daily jammed to suffocation
with parcel post packages which are
being sent out by the big mail order
h ouses, while little or no produce is
handled as incoming parcels.
The amount of food produce that
is shipped from agricultural districts
today by parcel post is hardly worth
considering" declared Postmaster
Campbell recently. 1t is true that
the friends of the parcel post argued
that it would allow people in the city
to get farm produce fresh from the
country and that the system would
cut out the middle man, make more
money for the farmer, and cut down
the high cost of living for the con.
sumers. That has not been brought
about. The farmers themselves dc
not appear to be clamoring for the
parcel post in the handling of theil
products, and my personal ex
perience is that they are conten
with the present methods of ship
ment.
In the meantime, the mail orde
merchants in Chicago are saying
nothing, but saving wood.

IMPORTANT HOG
BULLETIN OUT

One of the best recent bulletins of
the United States Department of
Agriculture is No. SO, issued under
the date of February 25th. 1914.
This Bulletin is by Byron Hunter,
Agriculturist for the Department of
Farm Management. and is intended
to encourage hog raisers in the
Pacific Northwest, especially in the
States of Oregon. Washington and
Idaho. The title is Pasture and
Grain Crops for Hogs in the Pacific
Northwest" This Bulletin should
be on the desk of every farmer in
this section of the country aud is to
be had free by writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The summary of rhe Bulletin follows:
During recent years the hog in
dustry in the Pacific Northwest has
been inadequate to supply the local
demands for pork and pork products.
This has caused the average price of
pork to be relatively high and has
made it necessary to ship large
percentage of the hogs slaughtered
and bacon consumed from east of
the Rocky Mountains,
1t is possible to provide pasture
for hogs in most of this region
throughout much of the year. In
most localities it is also possible to
provide crops that may be hogged
off during several months of the
busy season. The crops generally
used for this purpose are wheat,
field peas, corn and barley. By
supplementing well managed pasture
with the proper grain rations and
utilizing the ability of the hog tc
harvest grain crops for himself, the
average cost of producing pork may
be materially reduced. These con.
ditions offer an opportunity fol
profitable pork production in the
Pacific Northwest on a much
larger scale than at presen
practiced."
