Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1914-11-26
NOVEMBER FOURTH.

Sleazily, wheezily blew the breeze
it strummed in the boughs of the
dinkus trees; the gray whangdoodle
crouched to leap, yawned in the
thicket and slumped to sleep; some
where out in the blinchgrass hid the
cricket courted the katydid-and over
void and wood there lay the gloom
OF the glum November day.
Crouched alone on a chilly stone,
the Former Candidate made his moan
little he rocked and little he wot
whether the breeze blew chill or hot,
but over and over he made his plant
to the god perverse of Things That
Ain't-ever and ever he sware and
swore from holy writ and pagan lore
This is the wall the dinkus trees
heard to the strum of the sleazy
breeze; Where oh where my plight
votes?" he queried aloud of the stroll
ling shoats. Never a lout for leagu-
es around but pledged himself as he
titled the ground never a village
Vagrant yet but took the oath that
he'd not forgetll
Shades of havanas and vanished
beers, gather about me now, my dear
Lightly, hopefully, fresly est to
bind thepledge and the promise fast,
freely, hopefully, lightly bought
foam and flavor, alas, forgot! l who
would carry the country shires make
my moan in world of liars"
Wheezily, sleazily blew the breeze;
1t droned in the boughs Of the dinkus
trees, the treefrog Whitfield away at
tune, wraithily wobbled the gibbous
moon; musing alone and rocking not
whether the breeze blew chill or not,
the Former Candidate mourned his
votes to void and wood and stroll ing
snoats.

at the stable, and second in the field
4 Just as one can ruin AN otherwise
good hay crop by not handling ID
right, so one can damage a. good
manure crop.
/ Manure is at its best when fresh
and is sensitive to several demoraliz
ing influences. 1t cannot stand rain
because water teaches the best part
of it away; it cannot stand dryness
because it ferments and the nitrogen
evaporates; in fact, it cannot stand
at all. Fresh manure should be
spread fresh.
The manure found i'm the barnyard
in the spring or that found In little
heaps in the field is only about half
as good for plant food as the same
manure would have been had it been
pitched on a spreader from the stable
and scattered over the land as sooG
as the load was complete.
Next to spreading it fresh, the i'm
portant thing is to spread it finely
pulverized and to spread it evenly.
This must be done with a mechani-
cal pulverizer, because the hand that
Yields the fork from the watson top
can do no more than scatter it in
chunks.
So important is the manner Of
manure essential to its
that the University of
Wisconsin in Bulletin No. POI claims
that it Is advisable to apply the ma
nure to field as soon as it is made
Even winter spreading is worth VIII lie
1t is equally vehement in rega.d to
''To make itself worth
while, manure must come in conta t
with the roots of the growing plants.
To do this it must be thoroughly pull
verified and evenly spread. The prac-
lice of applying the manure directly
after blowing land thoroughly incor-
oorating it with the soil by the uGe
, disk harrow or cultiyator is a
good one"
Handling it by hand in the farm
wagon and handling it with spread

saved Is one chapter of this story.
he amount of money saved is anoth-

I it all to God in prayer. Civilization
strikes them blow when it should
give them a crown, and their only
friend is he who broke bread with
bcggars and said: Come unto me all
ye that are weary and heavy laden and
will give you rest"

champion of human rights and the de-

OF destiny and chained to the plow?
Shall we permit our faithful wives,
whom we covenanted with God to cher
ish and protect, to be hurled from the
home to the harvest field, and our
mothers dear to be driven from the old
arm chair to the cotton patch?
In rescuing our citizens from the
forces of civilization, can we not apply
to our fair Dixieland the rule of the
sea-"women and children first?"
There must be readjustment of
the wage scale of industry so that the
women can be taken from the field or
given reasonable wage for her serv-
ices. Perhaps the issue has never been
fairly raised, but the Farmers Union,
with membership of ten million, puts
its organized forces squarely behind
the issue and we now enter upon the
docket of civilization the case Of THE
Woman in the Field" and demand an
trial

knowing that the Circular appear
ing at the last hour was intended &c
be 'sStartler,T issued for the sole
purpose of influencing persons wht
did not understand the matter. The
Enterprise ignored the insinuaions /
contained, but as that INFER st n
document is still to some extent quo
ted and commented upon, We fee
that in justice to The members OF
the City Council the. principal queS-
ton appearing in the circular should
be referred to-
why did they pay the Payette En-,
terprise s645. 90 Tor printing the
financial report of she city when the
Weiser Signal actually did the work
with the exception Of The ink and
the labor required to print The pa
per for the sum of $42 40?"
Right here we TOO ask question
why did the Enterprise pay such a
sum to the Weiser signal? Employees
in this office could have set this
maUter practically for nothing The
matter OF the cost of competition
does not in the least enter into the
question OF the cost of publication of
the financial report in question. The
change for publication for legal or
any other form OF matter required by
law is fixed by law, not by the City
or County but by Stale law and
that this charge is not considered ex-
cessive is proven by the fact that in
practically every state the amount al
lowed by law is the same. 1t Is Of
ten suggested that to obtain sach
work at less than it is worth your
officers should let It by Did, and
Often this is done but seldom with
the resuE of effecting saving as
the legal change is but just and the
publisher is Justly entitled 10 it. He
cannot afford to cut prices. He would
ruin his own business and at the
same time bring otherpublishers in |
disrepute and the very men for whom
the sacrifice was made would csn
denim the man who would stoop to
such method TO get the business
firm competitor
No. the matter of the charge for
this work is not The essence of the |
attack 1t was to blame the Council |
with a large expenditure which it wa
beyond their power to evade. The i
law compelled the expenditure and
fixed the amount to be paid therefor.
No council in the past or no council

quirements and perform their duty.

lief President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson a
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation Of the governmental authori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail-
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
of credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face a most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
that must ultimately attend such a
confiagration when the flames meet
is apparent to ALL In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
asting independently of each other, as
well as through the action of strong
pubic opinion, railroad expenses in
recent years have vastly increased.
No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula-
ton, but on the other hand, no in
genuity can relieve the carriers of ex-
penses created thereby"
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement of plain
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con-
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative need |
that railway credits be sustained and /
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, wherever
feasible of governmental agencies, and
am glad to do SO because l think
tho need very real"
The conference was certainly a
fortunate one for the nation and the
president Is to be congratulated for
opening the gate to a new world Of
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prob
ems in our complex civilization that
will yield to cooperation which will
not lend themselves to arbitrary rul.

With the money is factor that can
lot be eliminated from any business
