Pleased with the Progress.
A meeting of the stockholders of
the jerome COOPERATIVE Creamery
was called for last Saturday after
noon and was attended by a good
majority of the farmers who have
taken deep interest in this new
industry which it is hoped to have in
operation before the end OF the
month.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of listening to the report of
the Board of Directors, and upon the
reading OF this report it met with the
hearty approval of all present. The
question OF the advisability OF in
stalling an ice making a machine at
the present time was submitted to
the stockholders, and while this will
entail larger amount than was at
first anticipated, it was the unani-
nous voice of those present that the
board be authorized to proceed with
the installation of this machine, al
though it will necessitate another
small assessment on the stock.
G. NJ. Bassett, Secretary of the
Caldwell Cooperative Creamery
and also Secretary of the Southern
Idaho Dairy Products Assn, was
present, as was also c. A. Scott, who
is the Field man for this new organ
ization. and much valuable informa-
tion was obtained from these gentle
men. Mr.. Bassett giving the history
of the success of the COOPERATIVE
Creamery at Caldwell, which though
having been in operation for only
wear are now making about 10000
pounds of butter a month, with
ready market for the entire produc
ton. He stated that his creamer,
started with only 43 members an'
while there were two other cream
receiving stations in Caldwell, tn
ADVANTAGES to be derived through tn
cooperative system has brought t
this creamery over 200 patrons.
MIR. Scott gave quite an interestin
talk on cooperation and what
really meant to the farmers. an
stated that true cooperation con
menced with the farmer and his co
and with the butter maker at til
creamery, and endeavored to show
the farmers the necessity of delive

of what the farmers on the Minidoka
tract are doing with sugar beets, and
they have just branched out in this
industry:
Rupert, Ida.-A visit to the beet
dump at Rupert just now is well
worth while. Almost any time of
the day there may be seen from 20
to so big four-horse wagons waiting
their turn to pass the scales and
climb the steep ascent to the dump
and load the big railroad cars which
will shortly take the products of the
beet fields to the factory whence in
a few weeks it will emerge in the
shape of fine white refined sugar.
The sugar industry in this section
of Idaho is giving many farmer on
the Minidoka project a competency.
Here is a staple market for every
pound of sugar beets the farmers can
raise, with a known price and the
cash ready. The beets are grown on
he project, refined on the project
and the project furnishes every one
of the 200 or more men used at the
factory in the business.
Acreage Devoted to Beets.
Tributary to the factory there il
in the neighborhood of $500 acre
devoted to the raising of beets. Twen
ty-two hundred of these acres are il
Minidoka county and the balance il
Cassia county.
Twelve thousand tons of beets pas
over the Rupert dump worth $50,
10 the Rupert farmers. On the Who'll
Minidoka project the farmers will ge
some S125,000 in cash within tn
next 80 days.
The growers get all the way frol
12 to % tons an acre in beets, an
the price this year is $500 a ton de
livered at the nearest dump. A goo
profitable crop is II tons to the aci
and most of the growers are beatin
that considerably.

the United States, who has arrived
here from Washington, D. O., to at
tend the International congress on
education being held under the u
pices of the National Education As
ISOLATION in convention, said that Bull
garia's position with regard to the
European war depended altogether up
on the annexation Of Macedonia.
ION account of the similarity of
customs and people," he said, "Bul-
garia claims Macedonia for its own.
The Macedonians are DESTROYS of an
nexation. There r thousands Of
Macedonians in the United States
who call themselves Bulgarians and
who, when summoned by Servia to
the colors, tore up the summonses. If
Bulgaria needs them, however, they
will all go. We do not wish to get
into the war, because We know too
well what war is"

SEA FIGHT SPOILED FOREVER
At Least So Far as Being Favorite
Theme for Artists Is
Concerned.

Truman H. Newberry's comments on
our naval equipment serve to remind
US that a favorite theme Of the artist
the sea battle-is spoiled forever.
Modern vessels fight at from ten to
seventeen miles, if they fight at all,
and thrilling pictures such as Jones,
Perry, Farragut, Nelson and Dewey
have inspired probably will not be
painted again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely a matter of hide-and-seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armorplate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en-
gage, a few seconds firing would re-
duce millions of dollars worth of
ships to scrap-iron shambles.
And when the skulking menace Of
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the ira.
ditions of sea fighting have been up
set.
1t was predicted that modern war

its former aspects, but we are told of
bayonet charges, of trenches 40 yards
apart. of steel helmets and even of full
suits Of armor being used. Yet on
the sea what destruction has been
wrought has been through methods
far removed from the old-fashioned
stand-up fight through which heroes of
other days won their fame.

M OF ZULU CHILDREN
Youngsters Have Their Own Amuse.
ments, Much as Do Those Of
Other Countries.

Zulu children are in most particu-
lars exceedingly like any other chill
dren who chance to arrive in this
world with white instead of black
skins.
They play the same games, or, II
girls, love the same dolls, as for the
matter of that the old Egyptians did
long ago.
Indeed, the doll make believe ap-
pears to be carried further than is
common In civilized countries. Thus
the small Kafirs build actual huts for
them in place of the houses that here
are provided ready-made from the toy
shop.
They give them stones to grind their
corn, mats for sleeping, pots for cook
ing, and so forth. They provide them
with a cattle kraal stocked with clay
oxen, goats and fowls. They marry
them in a realistic manner, singing
the appropriate songs.
The owner of a boy doll will manu-
facture and pay away ten clay cattle
In order to supply 1t with a wife or
wives in the shape Of properly--or i'm
properly-dressed female dolls, and
with such married puppets a lad may
play, although 1t is beneath his dignity
to amuse himself with an unwed
maiden doll.
So 1t is with everything else. They
have their parties which last all night,
and their clans that play with or
more generally fight other clans be.
longing to the next kraal or tribe.
The sense of honor is very fully de-
veloped In them, and the sense OF
greediness still more-so much so, in.
deed, that they will stuff themselves
with ~half-cooked and unplucked birds
caught in the weld, which, did they
bring home, they fear would be taken
from them and eaten by their elders
They manufacture excellent traps
to catch these birds and other wild
things, such as mice, which they also
eat.
They possess an elaborate system OF
tagging. and a good fight with sticks,
not fists. is the Joy of their hearts.
AS with our children, the boys look
down upon the girls. except on Ger
tain occasions. when, for instance. q
pair of them will share the same
pempe, or bird soaring hut, in which
they play at being s~weethearts, the
head boy choosing the best favored
girl, or sometimes the prettiest girl Sc.
lecting her own boy.

TONKA BEAN IN COMMERCE
Become a Matter of Much
Importance.

Grass, freshly cut or otherwise, has
had nothing to do with the production
of the perfume labeled "New-Mown
Hay" The source of the ssence Is
really the tonka bean, found in the
tropical countries of South America,
chiefly in the valleys Of the Orinoco,
Caura, and Cuchivero rivers in
Venezuela and certain sections of
Colombia and Brazil. The tonka-bean
tree in some cases reaches a height OF
sixty feet. 1t has pinnate leaves and
large panicles Of flowers, which are
succeeded by a pod containing a single
seed. The odor, which is remarkably
strong, resembles that Of sweet clover
new-mown hay, and is due to the pres
ence of cumarin, a crystallizable, vol
atile, neutral substance which is solu-
BILE in alcohol or ether and somewhat
so in boiling water, from which 1t
crystallizes on cooling. The beans
are often frosted with crystals of this
substance, giving them the appear
ance Of being sugar-coated. In Venez-
uela the tree is known as serrapia,
and the men engaged in the collection
of the beans are called %sarrapieros
These collectors in Venezuela and
Colombia usually set out for the for
ests in February, when the fruit be-
gins to ripen. They go up the rivers
in canoes or skiffs by the hundreds,
stopping wherever the trees are
plentiful, and when the fruit begins to
fall, the pods are gathered and taken
to some open space where sunshine Is
plentiful, and there carefully crushed
and the beans extracted and then
spread out to dry. When thoroughly
dried they are loaded into the boats
and transported to Ciudad Bolivar, or
some other convenient port, where
they are sold to the exporting mer-
chants. Here they 90 through the

COTTON NOW ~CONTRABAND
STATEMENT is MADE PUBLIC BY
THE BRITISH EMBASSY.
Allies Are Preparing to Prevent Ruin
GUS Policy From Wrecking
Business.

Washington, D. C.-"The allied
governments have agreed in principle
that cotton is contraband of war. The
exact date when this announcement
shall be made is still under consid-
GRAFTON, as well as other details con
nected with the. proclamations."
This statement was authorized at
the British embassy.
AS soon as the official announce
ment is made, it will be disclosed
also that the allied governments have
prepared to stand behind the market
to prevent ruinous depression Of prices
and minimize hardships to planters.
The American government several
days ago was informed unofficially
of the intention of the allied govern
ments to make cotton ~contraband and
was informed that they will claim a
legal right for their action.
1t was explained here that the al
lies refrained from making cotton
c~ontraband at the outset Of the war
because of conditions in the United
States, where a large crop had been
planted and a contraband order then
would, in their opinion, have been far
more serious.
Now, the allies contend, the cotton
states have been prepared for a
change in policy by reductions of
acreage. Some of the cotton interests,
allied quarters acknowledged, may be
affected by the change and for that
reason it has been decided to stand
behind the market to minimize the
embarrassment and to avoid a per.
manent decrease in American cotton
paintings which would be reflected
in the industries Of the allied coun,
tries.
