A safe balance of power that by
combining with north Idaho they
can easily whip the southwest,
and by combining with the south
west they can easily whip north
Idaho. Because of their solidar-
ity where their vital interests are
involved, their exceptionally
shrewd leadership, and because
OF the scattered and creeping op-
position, the senators from the
southeast have little trouble in
controlling the situation.
1t will be pointed out that north
Idaho gets two counties in the
present deal while the Mormon
section gets but one, and that
there are other schemes on foot
to create additional Gentle coun-
ties the division of Twin Falls.
Blaine and Canyon. To get at
the real situation the student
must take a slight retrospect.
-Four new Mormon counties were
created two years ago - Madison,
Jefferson, Franklin and Power.
There will be other counties
brought into being, too, before
any other Gentle county is divid-
ed. This is an unwritten law.
Twin Falls, Blaine and Canyon
will stand as they are for two
years longer. There will be no
other divisions at this session in
addition to the three named. So
as the record stands the Mormons
have secured five counties at
the two sessions of the legisla-
ture and the Gentiles four.

TIE RURAL PRESS

A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
OF the farmers to the forefront. The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
out the troubles Oh the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
Vestlgation into the needs OF the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects In our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un.
oerstood and Illuminated by tie DOW
er of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
nuences that the farmer must utilize
10 their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub.
Tic affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and CO.
operation of the fan mers to fully de-
veIop their energy and usefulness.
Ihey are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
communities. Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They
prosper only through the development
and prosperity of the community.
every farmer in this state should
subscribe for the local paper, as well
as farm periodicals and such other
as he may find profitable,

the formation of large running sores

may quickly become infected. and then
1t will not heal until the infection has
been freed from the germs that are
causing the trouble. But if treatment
Is begun at once the trouble can usu-
ally be prevented by bathing two or
three times day with an antiseptic

clean so that it will rapidly heal.
The best home treatment of old sores
is to battle them two or three times n

ringe them out with warm water, fol

Last Tuesday night a few
friends gathered at the home of

was planned by Mrs. Steen as a
surprise for her husband, and
just to see the took of astonish-

not in vain. The evening was
spent with music and cards. At

all did justice to an elegant sup

The POLITICAL
SITUATION

ed against it, that of Whitcomb,
of L9mhi. Even Macbeth, of
Custer, after talking ag ainst the
measuI e, bowed to the dictate OF
his PARTY platform and voted
with the majority. Jerome j.
Day, senator from the exception
ally dry county Of Latah, sprung
the sensation of the hour by NOV
ing an amendment that would
enable any person to have in his
possession at any one time a gal
Ion of whiskey or two dozen bot
ties of beer.
The resolution will go through
the house by an overwhelming
vote. This part of the program
may be completed before these
notes are printed. Opposition to
it, if there ever were any, is COM
pletely whipped.
But the crusade is not to stop
with the adoption of this resolu-
ton. There is to be legislation
also. The only question is as to
how drastic this legislation is to
be. One bill intended to stamp
out bootlegging is already in the
senate, and Anderson, leader of
one branch of the bifurcated DEM
ocratic leadership in the house.
undertook to get before that body
a bill to make it felony for any
person in the state to have liquor
in his possession.
Conservatives here agree that
a bill will be passed before the
close of the session providing for
state wide prohibition. The only
question to be determined is as
to how far this measure shall 90

affairs of the people. Governor
Alexander has spoken for legis-
lation, and it is the impression
that large majority in house and
senate are of the same mind.
Three new counties are we'll
along toward incubation. To be
more exact, they are through the
incubator and are now in the
brooder. They are Boundary,
farthest north; Benewah, taken
from the southern part of Koote-
mai, and Teton on the Wyoming
border, carved from Madison,
formerly Fremont. This will have
briggs for its temporary county
seat. 1t is solidly Mormon.
This creation of new counties
recalls the creation of new states

4 Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
Ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions OF humanity, or by filing it's
columns with the echoes of the strug-
giles OF busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle OF ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship Of state
in the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems OF
civilization at their fountain head Its
mission is to direct growth, teach ef-
1iciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
lslatlve, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within its respective community.

The Power of Advertising.

The influence of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits Of
the farmers, and the advertising col
Imns of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries Of life. We need more art. sci
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are well balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages of modern
equipment throughout the columns of
the rural press.

but he should by all means subscribe
for his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
is part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
lens. 1t is the local press that will
study the local problems and through

community.

The general improvement of the
various breeds Of horse as in any

been found to be one of the fac

New Head Of Rio Grande Sys.
tenn Pays Us Brie Visit While
On Tour Of Inspection
EXAMINES OUR BATHS

II. U. Nudge, the new president of
the Denver l. Rio Grande, paid his first
official visit to the western slope this
week, and incidentally his first over
night visit at any point on his line,
was in Glenwood Springs. Accompany
ing him were E. T. Jeffrey, A. S.
Hughes, F. A. Wadleigh, and other
prominent officers of the company.
The party travelled in special train,
which left Denver at 1870 Monday
morning, arriving here at 6 O'Clock in
the evening. The trip was purely one
of general road inspection, and the
time was remarkably fast, including
stops at Pueblo and Salida.
The first stop of any duration was
Mt Glenwood Springs, the train being
side-tracked here on the hotel spur, for
over night. During the evening .he
party were shown about the baths by
officers Of the Hot Springs company
and later paid visit to the Motor
club roons, where they met some Of the
local business men.
Mr.. Nndss was much impressed with
