DEPENDS THE REVIVAL.

Billy Sunday, the great evangelist
has this to say about reviyals Il
am for revival which will result
In mans buying buds for his own
wife instead of helping to pay for
the silks on the back of the wife OF
the saloon keeper. But they say that
revivals are abnormal. They lie. They
say that revivals are followed by re-
actions. They lie again. Even IL
this were true they would be more
than worth while. II a drunkard
reforms for year and brings his
pay envelope to his family and then
hackslides II is worth while.
II don't scott at other clergymen.
The man that knocks religion is SO
low-down that he has TO reach up
TO touch bottom.
They say that revival is but
temporary. So Is a bath, but 1t does
you good. They say that revival
exalts an evangelist over pastor.
Nothing OF the kind Oh, you NUTS
make me sick.

MAn.TrNE IN IDAHO


An Idaho publisher thus speaks OF
the festive May season:
Now the bnil-frogs croak we hear,
whiic the blue birds sing our hearts
10 cheer. the robins too are nesting
agaiii, and soon VIII come Bweet Jen-
ny Wren. Happy midst these vernai
scenes, We now fill ourselves with
greens.
The maple saps begun TO flow. the
huaH. awakened by the breeze, have
burst upon the trees: we now have
TO put up screens. The risky lambs
aaeld do race, and then against their
mothers brace. and while they draw
the lacteal cheer, their tails do stir
the atmosphere An. little lamb, en-
Joy your life. for soon you may meet
the butcher knife.
The playful calf Is full OF glee. and
makes the COW moo anxIonsly. II
alll soon be snbdued and quiet. en-
feehled by thin milk diet. But
little calf your stomach later win
fll out like a jumbo later as you
eat Of alfalfa hay, fed TO you through
out the day.

sag: the turkey gobblers neck turns
red. the hens are cackling In the
shed. down by the creek the goose
is found. she's laid an egg that
weighs pound.
The cows are resting In the wood,
the rabbits are no longer good. the
squirrel from a hollow tree looks
saacily on you and me. But none OF
these knows what il means to All up
on a mess OF greens.
The housewife now Is full OF work,
she kicks II man desires TO shirk.
She fills the nests with clover hay,
and wonders why the hens don't lay.
In oIden times when summer was
nigh the housewife always leached

But over this we will not weep, since
huughten soap has got SO cheap.

THE IDAHO EXHIBIT
(By ]. d. Flennerl.

kby u. -. fIenHerJ.
There is something awe-inspiring
about the Idaho agricultural and
horticultural exhibits. One can hard
ly explain the fascinating spell that
steals over us as we look upon It. The
agricultural exhibit seems especially
attractive. 1t is unique. There Is
nothing like IL on the grounds. The
agricultural building itself Is a won
der In every department. It's pro-
portions are colossal. II covers seven
acres OF ground and in It are repre-
sented the exhibits from seventeen
states Of the Union and eight foreign
governments, saying nothing about
our own government exhibit. No bet
ter picture could be presented of the
varied resources of our wonderful
country from north to south and
from east TO west.
The Idaho exhibit to be appreciat-
ed must he seen. The magnificent
arch that spans one entrance has pic
tured on its front walls our grains
and a representation OF the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mine. while the
inside has dairy and shepherds
scene very beautiful and attractive.
Passing through the arch we look
upon replica of the Arrow Rock
dam together with miniature farm
with its varied crops showing the
methods OF irrigation. Going around
the other way and looking at the ex-
hibit we find miniature Shoshone
Falls with water flowing from its
great height and running off into
miniature Snake river These feat
ures flx the eve and the attention uu-
on the wonderful agricultural pro-
ducts displayed with such great taste
and art In and around the building.
Al one end OF the exhibit on the top
is representation of loaf OF bread
about eleven feet long and six feet
wide with sacks of flour round about.
On the other end of the exhibit is a
big potato about the same size as
the loaf OF bread which calls atten-
ton TO the large and comprehensive
display of potatoes from the potato
district of Idaho. Then
there is the corn pavilion with a
splendid exhibit of corn from the
corn producing counties of the state
showing that Missouri is not the only
state hat can produce good corn.
Mr.. l.. M. Campbell, we'll Idahoan
is in charge OF the exhibits.

FAIR GROUNDS NOW
COUNTY PROPERTY

The county commissioners, under
the provisions of the new legislative
act. have purchased the fair grounds
OF the Intermountain Fair associa-
ton. at n cost OF $54, 900. The
grounds consist OF so acres. and with
improvements are worth $1,000.
so that the county has the benefit of
$4,000 initial profit by the deal
or the $54 900 TO be paid for the
property, $2G.S00 is bonded Indebted
ness and is not due until 1922 but as
the amount draws interest at the
rate of Z per cent. the commission
ers plan 10 take this up through re4
funding bonds and thus reduce the
interest
The Capital News says: THE deal
also means the selling OF the county
farm comprising 100 acres, lying on
the Foot Hill road five miles from
the city and also OF 40 acres owned
by the county near Collister The
county farm iB shown by the books
OF the commissioners several years
ago TO be valued at 100000. II has
always been run at a loss to the coun-
ty as IL was poorly situated for such
an institution and as It was practical
ly impossible to keep sick inmates
there. the county has been obliged
TO pay from $4,000 TO $4,000 annually
for the past few years to the two
hospitals OF Boise for caring for
county charges. In addition to this
amount the county physician Is paid
$2,400 per year. They figure by
building an adequate hospital and in
stitution In the northwest corner of
the fair grounds they can save from
$500 TO $4,000 per year as an offer
has already been made to contract
the running OF such an intuition.
situated that close to the city. for
less amount than is now paid the
hospitals, AZ the fair grounds has
deep well with sufficient supply
OF water so arranged that II can be
pumped to any part of the grounds,
a modern building could be built
there which would be more comfort
able and much easier cared for than
the present farm.
The remainder of the ground could
be used for fair purposes for which II
was purchased and II is likely II will
be leased this fall for that purpose.
II Is also figured that the cutting of
the race track TO a half mile course
would move IL back between 800 and
400 feet which would leave a fine
piece of property fronting on the
paved road which could be sold in
lots for enough money to pay for the
grounds and then leave So acres
for fair purposes besides the county
institution"

BRITISH AFTER
 CARRANzA NOW Demand Explanation of Detention of the British Bark In Harbor
 At campeche.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Infor- nation was received here from Vera Cruz last night to the effect that the British government had demanded from President Carranza an expla- nation of the seizure and detention of British bark in Campeche harbor.
 The bark was loaded with a cargo of grain from Argentine for Liverpool and put into Campeche to make re- pairs of damages suffered during a severe storm. The Mexican customs officers seized the ship and have re. fused to give her clearance papers and have offered no explanation to the captain of the bark as to the req son for the delay. It is believed that Carranza's agents suspected that the British boat was landing war muni- tions intended for use against Car ranza.

MINNESOTA WILL
 RECLAIM SWAMPS
Will Add One Million Acres To Till. able Area By Expenditure of
 One Million Dollars.

BEMIDJI, Minn.. March 12.-One million dollars will be spent in Bel trami and adjoining counties by the state of Minnesota this spring to re- claim 100000 acres of land. which if free of water. would be among the most fertile. State land experts es' innate that the value of the reclaimed land during 1915 will be $6,000, 900. but that before the end of ten years will be $1OO,OO0,000 This estimate by the state experts is based upon statistics of other land value increased in Min nesota.
 The majority of this land to be re- claimed is in the northern part, or ad- joining the northern part of Beltrami county, which in itself is 156 miles long. Some of the strip to be re- claimed extends over to St. Louis county, which is larger than the com bined area of Connecticut and Rhode Island.
 The scheme for reclamation of this land, at present continuous swamp of several hundred miles breadth, in- cludes the division of the vast ex. panse into sections, each section to be divided by roads, at the side of which is a deep drainage ditch. These ditches at every four sections meet and the object is to get the flow into Red lake, the second largest in land lake, entirely within the United States, in the nation.
