Joyed and a business meeting held
at which Ruth Shamberger was elect
ed president of the club in the place
of Lawrence Warden.
The Cleaner Sunday School class
held one of its regular monthly par.
ties at the Community house Thurs
day after school, Mrs. Potts being
the teacher. The girls spent the time
in making postcard chains to be
sent to missionary in the Philip
pines and a scrap-book to be sent
to hospital. Refreshments con-
stituted a part of the afternoons EN-
joyments. At the previous monthly
party the girls made some picture
stories" by way of amusement and,
thinking them rather original, Mrs.
Potts sent the work to Miss Nyce
of the Ladies Home Journal Faossie
Fisher club requesting her to send
it to some hospital. Miss Nyce re-
piled that she was first entering the
work in the regular monthly contest
held by the club. Monday morning
Elsie Coffey was delighted to receive
a crisp dollar bill from the Journal
as prize award for her "pictunesto-
ry."
Prof. E. G. Bailey, superintendent
of the Ontario schools, was prevailed
Jolf
as the sixth number of the lecture
course and at his request the date
was set for Monday night of this
week. This gave rather short notice
and the crowd was not as large as 1t
should have been but those present
heard very enjoyable talk. Prof.
Bailey's theme was Back to the
Soil' a topic which he handled i'm an
original and pleasing manner. He be-
lieves. that the boy of today living
in such communities as we have here
has splendid opportunity for tackHng
the big problems in the world of In
vention, science and society without
moving to the big cities. lie preolcl-
ed some amazing inventions that we
may expect to enjoy in the next de-
cade or two. Prof. Bailey promised
to be "neighborly" and run over and
talk to us again some time soon.
Capt. Paine and son, from Boise,
were here the latter part of last
week looking after the formers prop
eryt which has been left vacant by
the removal from the neighborhood
of j. B. Stanton and family. We UNI
derstand that Capt Paine wishes to
return to Washoe to live but the pos
sibility of their DOING so depends
very largely upon the condition OF
Mrs. Paine's health which, unfortu-
nately, has been very poor recently.

An effort is beng made through III

An effort is being made through th
public schools of the county to test
as much as possible of the seed grain
that is 10 be planted this spring.
There is not the same need for test
ing in this region that there is in
humid regions, yet it is important
that seed grain be we'll tested. 1t is
a valuable work, both for the schools
and for the farmers, and it is earnest
ly hoped that the latter will cooper
ate fully with the schools in this
thing which is OF such great mutual
benefit The work is taken up with
the schools for the sake of giving
students in agriculture practice in
seed termination and Tor the addition
al reason that farmers as rule do
not have time to attend to the work
themselves. This is not in the ma
ture of an experiment since it has
been thoroughly demonstrated that
termination tests of seed grain will
materially increase production and
that the students of public schools
can conduct these tests as efficient
ly as the farmers themselves.

Benedict Arnold

Every school boy in the Unitet
States for the past one hundred ans
thirty-six years has been taught t.

and rightfully so, for in the face o
the enemy, he betrayed his country
And that, no matter what the provo

with the sinister story should be told
another one. BY nature Arnold was
cruel and vengeful In childhood he
loved to badger dogs and cats and
to kill birds, and would not bear
necessary discipline.
But when war came he flung him.
self into 1t with an energy that was
lnexhaustible and a valor that was
sublime. In the attempt to capture
Quebec he suffered untold hardships
without a plant and with courage
and generalship that drew the hearts
of his soldiers to him.
He was attached to the army OF
General Gates. That officer was but
a poor soldier at best, but his vanity
and egotism were boundless, and he
aspired to become COMMANDMENT
chief, even to pushing Washington
aside and through fool friends I'm and
out OF congress almost succeeded. He

General Schuyler deprived of their

Now is the time to begin thinking
about the silo for next winters feed
ing. Decide early if the silo is
to be built this year in order that
the crops may be planned and planted
accordingly. Several silos are al
ready planned for this season. There
have been cases in which the erection
of a silo has not been decided upon
until il was too late to plant the sill
age crop and corn had TO be pur-
chased for that purpose. Decide now
to build early in the season, then
plant a sufficient acreage of corn to
fit the capacity of the silo planned. If
you are in doubt as to the adyisabilty
Of building a siho, why not plant the
corn anyway; the crop whether for
grain or silage will prove as cheap
Of production and as profitable as
almost any crop that can be grown
on the farm. The county agricultur-
list viii be glad to assist in any way
he can in planning and building OF
any kind Of silo.

As this is alfalfa week in these

fact that alfalfa is the best and
surest crop grown in this valley,
under the present short of water con-
ditions. By preparing good seed
bed, where moisture has been kept
in the ground and If conditions are
Just right, drill your alfalfa seed in
and it will soon be up and will grow
adj summer and do well with no irri-
gaticn and when three years old
will yield six ton per acre, with the
two crops, or one good crop of hay
and a good seed crop. The time Is
not far distant when the hills will all
be growing alfalfa. 1t can be done
and will make a fine pasture. If
there is country anywhere in the
three states that is the natural home
for the alfalfa it is Little Willow
