Hold Your Wool"

Such was the advice brought to
the Idaho woolgrower by DR.. II. S.
Belts of this city, who has just re-
turned from Chicago, where he was a
delegate representing this state at the
annual meeting of the National Wool
Warehouse Association. Fred W.
Gooding, OF Shoshone. also attended
as an Idaho delegate. A. j. Knollin,
the third Idaho representative, was
unable TO make the trip.
Dr. Belts said the wool situation
was thoroughly discussed at the meet
ing by men familiar with market con-
ditions throughout the world and the
conclusion was reached that the
grower would do well not to sell un-
til after shearing and probably even
longer.
There had been some rumors afioat
to the effect that the warehouse as
sOciation was to be abandoned. DR..
Bettis says 1t was DECIDED TO continue
the organization and make it bigger
factor than ever in the marketing OF
the wool crop. He reports harmony
in the organization and the re-elec-
tion OF all former officers.
DR.. Bettis was favorably impressed
with business conditions in the cas-
and is of the opinion that better times
are Just ahead.-Statesma

Some people have almost gone
into convulsions over the threatened
shortage of water for the coming sea-
son. True il is that all reports indi-
cate a very light snow fall in the up
per snake river valley with a conse-
quent light spring run off, but 1t does
not necessarily follow that this tract
will be deprived entirely of water the
coming season. A few weeks ago the
farmers were advised TO get their
crops in early. This was done to
enable them to get this crop out of
the way before the dry season was
upon us, that all the water available
could be used for other purposes.
There have been seasons before when
the snow fall was light. but fortu-
nately copious rains during the irri-
eating season were sufficient TO ma
ture all crops. 1t quite frequently
occurs that a light precipitation OF
moisture during the winter is follow
ed by what might be termed a wet
season during the spring and sum
mer, and this was illustrated here a
couple OF years ago when our farm
ers found it almost impossible to get
their hay crop up between showers.
1t Is well, however, to heed the adj
vice given and get the crops in as
early as possible. and with the most
perfect weather We have had for the
past month there is no excuse for
anyone not getting their spring work
done. Should a dry season follow.
however this section will not be the
only one affected. as reports from
all over the northwest are 10 about
the same effect Referring to the
Jackson Lake region where our stor-
age water comes from. the secretary
of the Twin Falls Canal Co. took oc.
casion TO address the supervising en-.
gineer of the Interior department re.

In compliance with this request

this year than on previous years an
In addition to being less. | am IN
formed by some of the men at Jack

and contains very much less waite
than usual. From what can gathe
| would say that the water content {
the snow is about one-third the usu,
amount This. OF course, does nc
s mean that the run-off during tn

Boys and Girls Clubs.

Boys and Girls Clubs.
Last week. Miss Cook. county sup
erintendent, and Mr.. Potter, state
club supervisor. visited several of the
schools OF Lincoln county and held
meetings with pupils and parents in
the interests OF club work. The club
work in Idaho is now under the di-
rect supervision OF the University Ag-
ricultural Extension Department
with the L. S. Dept. OF Agriculture
and the State Educational Depart
ment cooperating.
The main object OF the work In TO
encourage boys and girls to study the
elementary principles OF scientific ag-
riculture and household economics.
Contests in raising potatoes, corn.
poultry, pigs, etc, are arranged and
prizes given to those who excel In
their work. The canning, cooking
and sewing clubs are very helpful to
the girls. The garden and back yard
club is one OF the new club projects
and is also worth the attention OF all
parents. In this contest the young
people are encouraged to plant fow-
ers and vegetables, and keep clean
back yards Those who do this work
well and send the best exhibits to the
local state fair will win the prizes.
Mr.. Potter was pleased with the
outlook for the club work this year.
Ja cufd hoc
ed several first prizes at the state
fair in the potato, sewing and cook
ing club contests in the past. Miss
Cook. your county superintendent. Is
forts TO advance the pupils OF the
county. and is urging every teacher
TO take up the club work and interest
the pupils in this practical education.
We find that where superintendent
and teachers are interested, the work
OF the clubs is success; that pupils
stick TO it and get the desired results.
We trust the parents will under
stand and appreciate the Importance
and value of the Boys and Girls
Clubs and encourage their children
TO do their best in learning how to do
the things worth while.
Our schools are good. but they
have been placing too much stress on
the literary side and neglecting the
lpractical.
Our state needs more producers

professions and clerical positions In
our towns and cities are all over
crowded There are greater oppor-
tunities today offered to the man who
before. Our schools have been wean-
ing the boys and girls away from the
farms by trying to prepare them for
Office positions In towns. The Boys
and Girls Clubs are trying to inter
est the boys and girls in rural life and
agricultural pursuits.
Bulletins issued by the State Uni
versity and U. S. Dept. Of Agriculture
are sent to all club members. They
study them and do the work them
selves. They also keep careful rec
ords OF their operations, items OF ex-
pense and income. and are able to re
port the amount of financial gain

PHOENIX POSTMASTER
BURNED TO DEATH

PHOENIX. Nov. 1-Overwhelmed
by the fumes of an exploding lamp. c.
B. Wood. postmaster of Phoenix. died.
and his body was partially consumed
in the ruins of his country house on
the Black canyon road near the grand
canal last evening.
Mr. Wood was in the habit Of visit
ing the ranch house frequently. TO
spend considerable time in his study
He had been in his room for some time
yesterday afternoon. At about Sis.
he had called Madison, an employe.
and had asked him for a lamp. Madi-
son filled a lamp in the rear of the
house and took It to Woods room.
leaving Immediately thereafter to at
tend to some chores outside.
Five minutes after he left the room.
Madison heard the soft explosion that
indicated the bursting of a coal oil

c. Z. Tannehili, who lives nearby.
and others, commenced to search the
ruins. which had cooled sufficiently by
reason of the fact the light frame
building had burned clear to the ground
to pesmit the men to approach quite
closely. Buckets of water we're thrown
into the heaps OF ashes. and soon the
bones of a human were identified. By
this means. then. it became known be-
yond a doubt that a frightful tragedy
had taken place. Even until this fac.
was established. the frantic neighbors
had continued to entertain the hope
that Mr. Wood had escaped.
Friends of the dead man last night
told of his trouble with his heart. and
the surmise that he had fallen under
the shock OF the explosion. and had
therefore failed to get out, was
strengthened.
Mr. Woods was formerly secretary Of
the fair commission.
