There was dame in our town,

To every ones surprise.

With all her might and main,
She shirked her Christmas shopping
And found it filled with pain.

leading vegetable staples as in days
gone by. 1t has been drug on the

FOR PROBATE JUDGE

S. S. King, republican candidate for
this office, possesses all the necessary
experience and qualifications along these
lines. Twenty years of his life have
been spent in the Abstract of Title
Business, with such law practice in the
perfecting of land titles as is naturally
incident thereto. This necessarily makes
a man familiar with all the details of
the office of Recorder, Clerk of the
Court, County Treasurer, Probate Judge
and indeed with court house work gen
orally.
Mr. King was for two years Judge of
the City Court of Kansas City, Kansas,
and for five years Commissioners of
Elections of that city. in which latter
capacity he each year passed upon the
qualifications of all voters and directed
conduct of all elections.

Trains May Change Schedule
Wreck and Ruin In Sight For All Old Time Cards the
Wood River and Hill City Lines.

These changes are to be made as part
of general curtailment of train serv-
ice. Nos 13 and ID are to be taken off
the main line, and general readjust-
ment of all schedules made.
Richfield would have about the same
service to the outside as at present.
But for the mail to come up at night
would mean that it could not be distri-
buted until the next morning, after the
dailes had already lain in Shoshone for
half day. All the trainmen who have
their homes in Shoshone, would either
have to go homeless or move to Ket-
chum in the snow. Vigorous protests
have been sent in against the proposed
changes.
But after all it is as yet only arumor
and no definite new schedule has been
announced.

A Model Lincoln County Farm

The Recorder editor was this week
the guest of Mr. D. C. MacWatters, of
Jerome, general manager of the North
Side Land and Water Company. He
has little more than 100 acres in all,
but part of it is leased, so that the
Overlook Farm proper consists of only
800 acres, three miles from Jerome.
Mr.. MacWatters, when he first came
as manager of the company, believed
that the country needed teaching an
example in the raising of stock as the
best industry for this section. He
brought in registered stock of several
kInds---a flock of Hampshire sheep from
Duroc Jersey swine from the
greatest Eastern herds, Holstein cows
of the finest breeding and of superior
he has been raising
these animals for the public good ever
since There is not finer herd of Du-
roc Jersey swine in the United States
than his---indeed, from breeding and
show records one could not select bet
ter herd if he, were to buy up all the
prize stock of half dozen prize herds.
1t would be revelation to most farm
ers to see his hogs, and to get the fig
lres on what they will do. At the age
IF 6 months, his pigs run to an average
weight of 225 pounds; some will make
$50 pounds and better---and most of

A radical, revolutionary change in
the train service is being proposed, and
it may go into effect Sunday, though
no official orders have been issued and
not even the terms of the proposed
schedule are known. But the belief is
that the Wood River passenger is to be
sent up in the evening, and tie up for
the night at Ketchum. Coming down
from Ketchum in the early morning,
they would switch off at Richfeld for
the Camas Prairie line, run up to Hill
City and back, then down to Shoshone
in mid afternoon. They would come
back up through Richfeld to Ketchum
in the evening. 1t would make 256-
mile run each day. The freight would
follow about the same schedule, except
that it would take two days.

eral state championships pig bred on
the Overbrook Farm---weighed 500
pounds in a year and 8 days; for the
last month, the gain was pounds a
dayI
Mr. MacWatters believes the sheep
will pay on the small farm; and he is
preparing to prove to the satisfaction
of himself and any one else who cares
to know. But hogs he considers the
one great investment for the farmer in
this section.
1t would take whole page to tell of
all the interesting things seen on that
farm things that could and should be
duplicated on every farm in southern
Idaho, for there is not single luxury"
or extravaganza. 1t is farm run for
profit; and last year it paid nearly
Sd, 600 net, exclusive of all increase in
land values. Mr.. MacWatters sells his
gilt-edge breeding stock to the farmers
of his tracts, for only the slightest ad-
vance over the cost of the scrubbiest
stock; stock that would bring SIS to
500 per pig, if shipped away to the
buyers who are clamoring for chance
to buy it, is sold at home for third
that price. 1t is such fine, public
spirited way of helping his neighbors
and the people of his own section. that
there is hardly farm on the North
Side tract that has not been glad to get
hold of some fine stock from the Mac
Waters farm.

Guerrilla Warfare.

The term guerrillas is applied to
armed bands who, on the occasion Of
foreign invasion or civil war, carry on
an irregular warfare on their own &C
count. This class of fighters belongs
peculiarly to Spain, where from 1908
to 1914 they were Systematically or
ganized against the French, whose OPP
erations they very seriously embar-
raised. The country itself also suf-
fered from them. Many of them, par
ticularly MINIS band, Joined yelling
ton, and, after having undergone a
course of discipline, rendered signal
service as regular troops. On the con-
clusion of peace large numbers were
organized into robber bands. In most
of the civil wars of Spain since 1920
guerrilla warfare, especially in the
Basque provinces, played prominent
part. In the Civil war of the United
States bands of guerrillas committed
depredations on both Federals and
Confederates.

Cross Knife and Fork In Reverence

Cross Knife and Fork In Reverence.
The old custom of crossing the knife
and fork after dining had its origin,
if we may trust F. w. Burgess ex-
PLANTATION in his new book, Chats on
Household Curios," in a spirit of devo-
ton. He quotes Browning:
knife and fork he never lays
Crosswise, to my recollection,
AS l do in Jesus praise"
"In Russia" says Mr.. Burgess,
"this custom of the peasantry was
deep-rooted, and there they were care
full to take up the knife and fork and
lay them down on the plate crossed
before commencing their meager meal.
Strange to say, that; although knives
and forks have been crossed in rever-
ence, to cross knives has been deemed
unlucky, and to give maiden a pair
of scissors-two crossed blades-has
long been held by those who believe
in such signs as unlucky."

.Chauffeurs Are Kicking.

"a wealthy widow elopes with a
chauffeur" or can heiress elopes with
her fathers chauffeur" is a familiar
headline in the New York papers. The
chauffeur is knight Grant. Surely
there was never knight more Grant
than he. He is the wizard of the
hammer and wrench. 1t is proper
that he should displace Vulcan in the
affections of Venus. If women once
gladly ran away with the coachman,
by reason of the coachman's mastery
over that admirable beast, the horse,
how much more susceptible they must
be to the transcendant destinations OF
the modern chauffeur.
There is nothing petty or squalid
abcnt the chauffeur except the strange
title. The "chauffeur"-a stoker, or
man who makes fire under boiler!
1t is not merely undescriptive, it is
ignominous. The chauffeurs' union is
just getting on to what the title means
and they believe that since they have
been called upon to play the hero role
they should be known by something
fine and imposing. They suggest that
they be called the chariOteer, or
auriga.
