That Reminds Me.

From an exchange we take the
following, which is proof conclusive
that it pays to subscribe for your
own newspaper: A man who was
too economical to subscribe to his
home paper sent his little boy, to.
borrow one taken by his neighbor
In his haste the boy ran over
"a stand of bees and ten minutes
looked like warty summer squash.
His cries reached his father, who
ran to his assistance, and failing to
notice barbed wire fence ran into
it. breaking it down cutting a hand
full of flesh from his anatomy and
running a SIS pair of pants. The old
COW took advantage of the gap in
the fence and got into the cornfield
and killed herself eating green corn
Hearing the racket the wife ran,
upset a four gallon church of rich
cleam into a basket of kittens,
drowning the whole flock. In her
hurry she dropped $26 set of false
teeth. The baby. left alone, crawl
ed into the parlor. running a $50
carpet. During the excitement the
oldest daughter ran away with the
hired man, the dog broke up eleven
setting hens and the calves got out
and chewed the tails off four fine
shirts.

A FALLING MARKET

When Judge Lands of Chicago
tried to sell the eighty-nine licenses
of the Tosetti Brewing company,
bankrupt, he found that such com
modities were a drug on the mar
ket. One purchaser offered 81 200
but this. the only offer made, was re-
fused. A year ago licenses brought
&c. 500 to $4,000. The reason for
this decrease in value is said to be
fear of successful local prohibition
legislation. The entire liquor forces
seem to be looking forward with
just reason to future stringent re-
strictions to their business. Judge
Lands closed all the saloons owned
by this brewing company from Satur-
day night at midnight until S o'clock
Monday morning. observing and
giving force to the Sunday closing
law of Illinois.

One of the features of which we
have reason to be justly proud is the
Barrymore Civic Club, consisting of
about 10 of our substantial farmers.
They own and have their headquart
ers in Barrymore Hall, located on the
Barrymore townsite. The club has
done a considerable business in a CO.

mental in the installation of scales,
securing a school and postoffice.

Grand View.

Lying north and east of Jerome is
a section of beautiful country which
is probably as well developed as any
section of the tract, and peopled with
a progressive lot of farmers who have
not idled their time away since COM
ing to the tract. In fact some of the
best developed farms on the tract
may be found in that section. AS the
land on the tract has a gradual slope
to the south, the town of Jerome can
be seen from most all parts of this
section, and this together with the
fact that mountains can be seen in
five states from the tract, the name
of Grand View" was decided upon
by the good people of this section.
But the citizens of that section
have not contend their time entirely
to farming, as they deemed that the
social feature had claim upon them
as well. Accordingly, on July LIST,
1912. the Grand View Social Clut
was organized, primarily for social
enjoyment and the discussion of the
various matters looking to the better
Improvement of that section. A

Jonathan Valley.
BY j. III. WALRURN.


This valley, SO called, is only a por-
ton of the great Snake River valley,
as is all of the North Side tract. 1t
is comprised of a territory lying east
of a line derectly south from jerome
emil racing a territory of perhaps 30
or 40 square miles. 1t was named
by some of the early pioneers who in
their minds eye were able to fore
see the vast orchards of Jonathan ap-
pies which are now a realization in
perfection rather than a vision. This
section was one of the first to be set
tied when the Great North Side Tract
was opened in 1909.
Like other sections of the tract, al
/ falfa has been the leading crcp, and
| the ease with which good stand
/ can be secured with either this or
| clover, is always a source of wonder
| to those coming from the dry farm
| ing sections. The decline in price,
however, of this product when sold
in the market awoke our farmers to
the fact that there were other ways
to market this hay, and they soon
began turning out gold bricks
marked, Fancy Ranch Butter, 6
ounces net" as the dairy COW began
to make her appearance on the tract
and at present we have a number OF
COWS in this section that have a year.

COMMUNITY CENTERS.

Scattered about Jerome in every
direction are community centers with
their clubs and societies, the pres
ence of which go far toward relieving
the monotony of farm life, and are
the means of bringing the rural resi-
dents of the respective sections into
colser social relationship, and also af-
ford an opportunity to discuss to-
gether matters of general interest
that are coming up at all times. The
Times has always encouraged these
rural clubs and societies, believin g
that the farmer and his family were
entitled to all the social enjOymen
they could get as we'll as their city
neighbor, and our columns have al
ways been at the disposal of these
organizations for the announcement
of their meetings and other gather
ings, free of charge.

Later the Grand View Improve
ment Club was organized for the pur-
pose of looking more closely after
public improvements, and the results
of the work of this club already
being manifested. AS the State

club will this spring plant trees along
both sides of this thoroughfare along
its entire route through this section.

1t would be we'll to stop right now, Mr.. Business Man, and do onc
very serious thinking if you don't van to lose a lot Of your customers
this fall and winter. There is n time to be lost if you want to protect
your interests and hold your trade.
One great mail order house alone, according to a article in a
metropolitan newspaper, is now preparing to mail out five million
catalogues. That is just being en- out by n house alone, and stais-
tics tell IL there re rs different mail order concerns in the United
States.
Now if house alone sends out the enormous number of five
million catalogues, how many do you suppose will be sent out by the
whole 28 concerns combined?
How many OF these carefully worded, handsomely printed and very
aluring catalogues will be mailed to country people right here in our
w community, ever to people in this DOWNRIGHT to your W GUS
toners?
Isn't it fair to assume that almost every farm house, and many of
the town houses, will receive IN O more Of these catalogues?
And isn't it again fair to assume that the people are going to paw
over those catalogues, and look at the attractive pictures of the thous-
ads of articles, and read of the "marvdously low prices" at which these
goods are sold?
And do you think there are many who can resist the temptation
20 send for some of those very allurng bargains" especially when
they are led to believe that the goods are sold by the mail order Ia
for less than what you charge?
Knowing that to be just exactly what a great many of our country
and town friends will do unless measur are taken to protect our local
in their legitimate territory, W e ask you, seriously, what are
you going to do about it?
This office wants and stands prepared to do what it a to pro-
tet you and other local business firms from the constant encroach-
lent of these umerou mail order houses who ire doing sc much
toward demoraEzng local trade conditions, but WI an not do it alone,
or without your cooperation.
The question is, if this paper fights for you are you willing to fight
for yourself?
There is a effective remedy for this menace, if you care to apply
it, and n which has proven successful and highly profitable in other
communities.

A I4abor shortage.
(New York World. )

As the result of Italy's entrance into the war, a transformation in the labor market as swift as that in for eign exchange seems impending.
 The outbreak of war found the United States debtor to Europe in immense sums, with the machinery of exchange in disorder and the stock markets of the world closed A few months later the situation was almost nnagically altered, and the New World had a huge credit balance in the Old
 Last winter unemployment was a common complaint in every industrial community. Idle men were 0 sad spec tacle in all our large towns.
 Now another sudden change is pre- dicted: there is talk of "a labor short age" if Italian reservists are called home. Business is increasipg. factories are going on full time, railroads are ordering equipment and making inn provements, the high prices of farm produce have accelerated sales of tex tiles and farm machinery. Only sudden call from Europe for the Ital- ian reservists is needed to set employ CTS bidding for the services of em- ployes. instead of the reverse.
 Of the two conditions, this is the one we should all rather see prevail.

Real Restitution.

(FnflaQeiphla FuDllC LeQSeI
 England still dyes the famous red coats for its army with those little Central American bugs called cochf- neal Almost everybody else uses an artificial dye.
 And right here is one way in which the United States can collect some of the debt Germany owes us. We have been buying, from those who have drowned in deliberate fashion 115 Americans, three dollars worth of dyes for every dollar we made at home.
 Germany has reaped a great profit on our trade, which is proved by the fact that it's dye-works pay an aver age of twenty-five per cent. dividends on the capital invested in that indus try. Artificial dyes are made from coal tar, and coal tar is a byproduct of coke ovens.
 Pennsylvania coke ovens are each year wasting s50,0oe, ,000 worth of ma terials that might be converted into homemade dyes quite as good as any made by the kaiser. There are no patents on ninety out of every one hundred dyes so We have a free hand.
 An extra session of congress--not to declare war, but to clap a high duty upon dyes so that American capital could afford to enter into this dye making industry on big scale--fhat would be restitution which the thrifty German never would forget.

Excitement Prevails When Opposition Member Makes Charge Against
 Japanese Foregin Minister.

Tokio, Japan. May 25, $50 p. m.-- Today's session of the house of rep resentatives witnessed an incident which created considerable excite ment. While Foreign Minister Kato was explaining the Chinese situation to the house a member of the opposi- tio arose in his seat and called the foreign minister traitor. Thereupon saburo Shimada, president of the house, ordered the member to apol- ogize. This the member did, but his act was immediately followed by a violent combined attack of the oppo sition on President Shinaada on the charge of hf.ving exceeded his pow CTS. The incident finally was re. fcrred to committee.
 There is some uneasiness in Tokio because of the receipt of private re- ports that anti-Japanes agitation is spreading through south China. There are fears of rioting at Hankow.
 There has been much rejoicing in Tokio over the advent of Italy into the European war on the side of the allies.
