LIBRARY TAG DAY

Tomorrow, Friday, will be Tag Day
for the public library, and minglins
with the fair crowds will be many
young people armed with brilliantly
colored tags to pin upon willing wear
ers in exchange for cash contributions
toward paying off the 81 200 debt upon
the library lot and building.
The library is most worthy insti-
tuition, affordings not only the towns
people, but residents of the country as
we'll, with the best of literature, and
supplying children of the schools with
supplementary reading that is helpful
IN their work. IL was started by ten
ladies as a free reading room, with a
few borrowed and donated books, and
few magazines, In a small room.
From this small beginning 1t has
grown into a commodious, well ar
ranged building OF It's own, with "a
library consisting Of about 1000 bouno
volumes which is stadily increasing,
and the number of visitors per month
g very near 1900. Funds secured
through regular channels are suffl-
cient to pay the running expenses and
keep up the supply of new books, but
not sufficient to pay off the indebted
ness. Contributions in any amount
which donors may feel like offering
will be appreciated, and the appear
ance of beautiful young lady armed
with brilliant red tags will be a signal
for all to turn their attention momen-
tarily to the library, the good work
II is doing, and its needs.

A GOOD ROADS EXAMPLE
What Dragging WIN Do For Roads
Even In . Dry Year.

II. w. Hochbaum INFORMS the Press
that the roads generally In Twin Falls
country are bad, and full Of ruts.
There is one notable exception, u
stretch of half mile past one farm
er's place. who has consistently drag
ged this stretch of road. Automobiles
run with perfect safety on It at .3b
miles an hour, while fifteen Is high
speed on the average roads there.
While this is the most striking ex-
ample he has found In the state Of the
effects OF persistent and thorough
dragging, the same general results
are found In other places where the
drag II used. In Lewis county, no
says there are miles and miles OF
roads that have never been graded at
all upon which drngs are used. that
are splendid roads. The farmers
there, organised into small road dis
tricts, simply hitch onto a drag and
drag roads that have been used for
years and have never seen n grader,
and in little while they make good
road OF II. Where grading can not be
done because of the expense he recon-
mends the use Of the drag anyway,
and feels confident that the same good
results will follow its use here az IN
Lewis county.

CROwNING FEATURE OFTHE FAIR
Wheat Weighing Sixty-fve Pounds Per Bushel on
Exhibit at the Fair,

The surprise which Manager Earring has been
guarding zealously for the past several weeks is
at last known. 1t is Turkey Red wheat which weighs
was grown by Dan Lindauer, about fifteen miles
west of town, near the German Lutheran church.
Mr. Earring says this wheat is the best he ever saw
in his years of farming and wheat buying, and plans
are being made to send exhibits to several fairs, in
cluding Denver San Francisco and Boise.
No one here ever heard of sixty-five pound wheat
before and Mr. Lindauer did not know that he had
established new weight record for the county, if
not for the northwest. The discovery was made
when he brought load into market When it was
tested for weight Mr.. Earring could hardly believe
his eyes But repeated tests showed that mistake
had been made. The wheat was remarkably clean as
it came in and tested 65 pounds Some Of it was put
through cleaner and this tested 65 pounds strong
and Mr. Earring is confident that no better wheat can
be found in the United States 1t will be interesting
to know how MIR. Lindauer grew this crop, and
doubtless his methods will become known during the
fair.
But Mr.. Lindauer is not the only man who has
grown wheat that is in the prize winning class An
drew May, of Rocxland, has Turkey Red that tested
Ga pounds it from the machine, and it is ap-
parenty not as well cleaned as that of Mr. Lndauer.
An effort was made Monday to reach him by phone
to ask him to bring in load and have it cleaned put
it is not known whether it successful or not Mr.
Mays wheat made about 5311a measured bushels per
acre, or 81 bushels by weight
H. P. Frodsham of Rockland, after seeing samples
of the wheat grown by Lindauer and May declared

is said will have it entered in competition with them
for first prize And there are others who feel like
Mr. Frodsham, and the exhibit of threshed grains is
good enough to be shown anywhere.
Next in the heavy weight class that has been re-
ported is d. L. Behrens, who grew Turkey Red on
the old dry farm weighing 63a pounds per measured
bushe, thirty-one bushels per acre. almost thir-
ty-three bushels by weight
The list of those who have brought in wheat weigh
ing 63 pounds as it came from the machine is long

All day yesterday a corps of busy
workers were putting the final
touches on all the exhibits that had
arrived. The grains and grasses we're
almost all in, in greater number and
variety, and of better quality, than
ever before. This feature of the ex-
hibit will attract unusual attention,
not only on account of its excellence,
but on account of the tasty manner Of
its arrangement as we'll. The farmers
of the county have reason to feel
proud Of the showing made. 1t
would have been impossible to gather
such an exhibit without their cooper
alton. Yesterday afternoon fruit and
vegetables began to come In. These
will probably continue coming in un-
til noon today. This part of the ex-
hibit promises to be better than In the
past Two pigs came in yesterday,
all of the livestock up to that time In
evidence, but 1t was not expected that
livestock would come in until the
morning of the fair.
The Womans exhibit and the school
exhibit, occupying the eastern part OF
the hall, are more extensive than in
former years, and of unusual excel
lence.
The sport program is excellent and
will fill every afternoon. There are
more concessions on the grounds than
usual, and one which will especially
please the children is merry-go-
