THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on a new power-that is the ~inspira-
ton Of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and magni6cence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the SOIL
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. It is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power.
These products as food are At for
the gods, and as an article Of com.
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as we'll. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod.
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won.
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor Of agricul.
ture where nature is parading in her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take a retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod.
ucts are raised, they a seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush.
ing liberia, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot.
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost Of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast Of the marvellous
fertility Of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science. but
it is also well to remember that there
Is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect its hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation Is now in the midst OF
q controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is nj
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny Of commerce. Dur.
ing the past quarter of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog.
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec.
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity.

soldiers"
1t doesn't seem very fanciful
carefully follows the shifting tao
tics of war. The rifle has lost its
prestige. 1t is no longer the in
dispensible weapon of the infantry
man. 1t isn't always effective even
in a charge, for we read nowadays
of soldiers leaving their guns be-
hind them in the trenches and
charging only with hand grenades.
1t is of little use for defense. for
one machine gun is worth as much
in repelling an attack as hundred
rifles. The bayonte hasn't lost its
usefulness, but even that is being
replaced, in the French army, by
a knife or shortbladed sword.
The machine gun is coming to be
the arm of the infantry. The Ger
mans, who have made best use of
it, have perfected type so small
and light that one man can carry
it on his back, and can operate it
alone when he sets it down.
If the tendancy is carried to its
logical completion, and every sol
der is armed with machine gun
instead of a rifle, what chance will
any man have for his life against
any other man? Imagine every
citizen in Shoshone hunting his
neighbor with gatling gun, with
dynamite shells bursting all round.
That's what war seems to be COM
ing to.

FIreproof Clothes.

DR.. William H. Perkin, the English
chemist, has found method of max
ing cotton cloth absolutely fireproof
SO that 1t will not burn even when held
IN a gas-flame. One f1reproof garment
was unframed by twenty washings
and another which had been worn for
two years and washed every week
Neither could be burned, though the
latter was worn almost to rags. This
fireproof cloth costs about penny a
yard more than untreated CLOTH
Not only will this fireproofed mate
rial be found suitable for the manu-
facture of clothes for firemen, but it
may also be used by women for the
finest party dresses, the most deli
cately-colored fabrics being unframed
by the process and even given softer
appearance For children's clothes it
should be particularly desirable, since
it is likely to prevent many accidents.

GERMANY'S CHANCE.

The presidents latest note to Ger
many may be the last. 1t is not ex.
plicitly an ultimatum, and yet il
effect it will prove to be one if Ger
many does not yield.
Some progress has been made
however, since the presidents note
of protest was forwarded on May
IS. The Germans have modified
the stand they took in their first war
zone proclamation. They no long
er wave away all neutral ships and
disclaim all responsibility for "un-
fortunate accidents" The German
government has reversed its atti-
tude and declared, in its not of
May 81, that ''it has not intention
of submitting neutral ships in the
war zone to attacks by a subnar-
inc" and in subsequent note has
given assurances that American
ships will not be hindered in the
prosecution Of legitimate shipping,
and the lives of American citizens
in neutral vessels shall not be plac-
ed in jeopardy"
These concessions, however, are
trivial in comparison with what the
United States has demanded as its
inalienable right under the law of
nation, and the conditions attending
them are in tolerable. We cannot
accept the arrogant restrictions on
our commerce that Germany has
prescribed in her last note. Par
ticularly we cannot tolerate any
more paltering over the Lusitania
question, involving the sacredness
of American life on the high seas,
whether under our own flag or any
other flag.

HOW THEY GO.

(Southern Idaho Democrat)
Next Sunday morning at $3.50 a
special train loaded with Shoshones
fast ball team and a hundred rooters
a number of citizens of that city and
number from Jerome will leave the
Union depot at this place enroute for
HALEY where one of the fastest ball
games ever witnessed in Southern
Idaho will be pulled off
The special will stop at Richfield,
Picabo and Bellevue on the trip and
pick up a number of base ball fans
from each of these stations and it is
expected that when the train arrives
in Haley there will be more than two
hundred people aboard.
The Shoshone crowd will all wear
Shoshone badges so that all may know
that they are backing the champion
ball team of Idaho. League teams and
Carlson Lusk not excepted. The train
will carry passengers at one fare for
the round trip.
A few weeks ago the HALEY and Sho-
shone teams played in Shoshone and
the Haley team was accompanied by
the gamest lot of rooters that ever
visited this city and at the return
game next Sunday Shoshone will pay
them back with interest and at the
time Haley visited Shoshone they
were entertained in a manner that
brought gladness to the hearts Of all
and they say they are going to pay
Shoshone back with interest in the
way of entertainment and as they
know how to entertain in Haley we
have no doubt but what they will do
it,
All we lovers of good, fast baseball
get busy and show your loyalty to
your home team and be at the Union
depot Sunday morning in time to board
this special train, because we are go
ing to Haley and we are going with |
the intention of bringing back the
scalp of that Haley team and it will |
be done in one of the fastest, cleanest
games ever witnessed in this part of
the state
When HALEY visited Shoshone a few
weeks ago they were defeated by a
score of 8 to 0 but they have strength
ened their team since then and they
are just as determined to win as Sho-
shone, so depend on it the game will
be good one.
The trip will be an enjoyable one as
the weather in HALEY is cool and if
they are determined to show us a good
time let us be just as determined and
enjoy that good time.
