EARLY FRUITFULNEsS.

Evidently, conserving the winter
moisture, which in itself gives ample
supply until midsummer, with weekly
cultivation, developing an abundant
store of plant food, develops in FIVE
years time trees large enough to carry
FIVE to eight boxes of apples, on the
larger trees, and two to four boxes
on a great many trees of that age
Photographs and measurements
made this morning show apple trees
four years and four months planted,
IS feet in height, 10 feet and 10 inches
breadth of branches, 1874 inches in
circumference of trunk. A tree of
that strength can easily carry eight
boxes next season. $4,000 trees have
been planted in the Stephens Or
chards. Three days ago H. G. Monce
of Nampa made a careful inspection
of the orchard, and decided that with
favorable spring for the season of
1915, 10000 of those trees would be
in condition to yield one to FIVE boxes
per tree, or, on a conservatives esti-
mate, an average of three boxes per
tree. Saying nothing about $4,000 of
the other trees, younger or not as well
grown, Mr.. Monce estimated that,
conservatively speaking, the orchards
should give crop of o5 car loads the
coming season.
Pruning In the development of
these orchards the pruning has been
done in December to March Summer
pruning checks the vigor of growth,
and with young trees delays coming
into bearing When trees are of suit
able size, very little pruning either
summer or winter has the effect Of
throwing them into bearing. In the
experience of w. N. Yost, near Meri-
dian, so Jonathan apple trees, not
pruned at all, yielded three to eight
boxes per tree, while making the 5th
seasons growth The Yost orchard
averaged one box per tree making the
4th seasons growth, 5000 boxes from

ALEXANDER MAKES A SPEECH

The Democratic meeting at Metz
Hall Friday night was well attended
by few Democrats and more Re-
publicans, to greet Mr.. Moses Alex
ander. That gentleman delivered
one of the most cleverly-worded,
near truth talks it has ever been
cur pleasure to listen to. But as
the statement of all the salient facts
brought on. in Ills talk would have
killed the first stated facts he relig-
iously refrained from stating those
secondary and very important facts.
Mr.. Alexander is an easy, fluent
speaker, but to an audience of bust
ness men he lays himself open at
every turn. His talk here was of
that nature to leave the impression
in the minds of his Democratic lis
teners that the Republicans we're. a
very disreputable lot He failed to
state, however, that Jim Hawley's
administration exceeded that of his
predecessors several thousands of
dollars in expenditures But that is
the usual Democratic policy Of eva
sion. He went from here to the Long
Valley country-Adams County Ad-
vance.

And | lay in the perfume of feathers,
Thinking thoughts | dare not say;
When | think of the stunts of the
night before,
And smile a feeble smile,
And ask myself for the hundredth
time,
Is it really worth the while?
Then l pick up the morning paper
And read how some SANITY man
Who never was soused in all his life,
Who never said hell or damn;
Who never stayed out till the wee
small hours,
Nor jollied a gay soubrette,
But preached of the evils of dancing,
Cards and cigarettes.
Cut off in the prime of useful life,
The headlines gibly say
Or, snatched by the grim old reaper
Has crossed the great highway.
They bury him deep-while few
friends weep
But the world goes on with sigh
And the goodly man is forgotten soon
@NSh hS yOu Vi l.
Then say to myself, well, Bill, old
scout,
When you're called to take thu
jump;
tnd you reach that place where the
best and worst
Must bump the eternal bump;
You can smile to ourself and chucklc
Though the path be exceeding hot
Tor while you live you are moving
some,
Isn't that an unholy thought"
Then | rise and attach a cracked ice
band
To the rim of my tattered hat,
And saunter forth for cold gin fizz
All, he's a great old world at that
And | go on my way rejoicing,
What's the use to complain or sigh
60 the route, old scout, and be merry
For tomorrow you may die.

c. w. BEALE FOR SUPREME
JUDGE.

1t has been known for some time
that c. w Beale of this city, had been
giving serious consideration to be-
coming a candidate for justice of the
supreme court, largely due to great
pressure that wasSbeing brought to
bear upon him by friends in various
parts of the state. But it was no I'M
til large number of members of the
Shoshone county bar, men who know
him intimately and recognize his high
character and qualifications, made
personal appeal to him, that he finally
determined to become a candidate.
Should Mr.. Beale be successful in
his candidacy, he will take his place
upon the supreme bench at great fin-
ancial sacrifice, for he has earned a
high place in the profession in this
county and enjoys a lucrative prac-
tice. He possesses a high order of
ability and his many years of prac-
tice, reaching from the district court
to the supreme court of the state, the
lower federal courts and finally to the
supreme court of the United States,
bring him splendid equipment for
the high position to which he now as
pires. Along with his excellent train
ing by education and experience, he
is a man Of the highest character and
of irreproachable habits.
Mr.. Beale has an extensive ac-
quaintence in all parts of the state,
where he is held in the same high es-
teen both professionally and person
ally that he is in his home county. He
possesses those elements which
strongly appeal to the people in the
selection Of man to fill the highest
judicial position within their gift

He is e'er in hurry
Doesn't know how to worry
And he always seems brim-full of
JOY.

town;
His eyes are sky blue and his hair
wavy brown;
He's nice little man
And a steady old hand,
And his number of friendships has
grown.
He's a nice little man,
And a steady old hand,
Then here's to our sodasquirt-long
may his life be;
May few troubles or worries or
cares bother he
We all love him so CD
We don't want his to go
Way back to his great Salty Sea.
