AWFUL ADVERTISING
WENT THRU MAIL

Down at Bull the other day two
newspaper men were arrested be-
cause an advertisement of a bazaar
given by the ladies of the Royal
Neighbors contained reference to two
little items that were to be ratified.
The arrests were made by inspectors
of the postal department who found
that the desperate newspaper men
had actually sent papers containing
this awful advertisement through the
mails. How thankful We, should be
that we have kindly and benefcent
government to protect us from the
terrible deeds of such Williams as
these. Just think of it! Why, some
one might have been misled into
spending dime for one of those
rattle tickets, and wouldn't t that have
been awful? And to think that our
postal department has such keen,
shrewd men ever ON the alert to pro-
tect the dear people of this land of
the once-free from their sins. How
perfectly lovely! Why, sir! the

of those awfully wicked bazaars and

Fine Farming Land Near Blackfoo
Ready to be TILED.

That twenty-five thounsand acres
of fine farming lands near Blackfoot
are now being offered for rent by
the government at prices that are be-
low what men pay for the up-keep
of their own farms is the startling
information that comes to hand this
week.
For 20 years the government has
been building its system of canals
to the lands on the reservation south
of town, and getting them ready for.
cultivation. For several years the
lands have been in process Of allot-
ment to the Indians, and now the
Indian agent is authorized to make
five-year learses of the unallotted
lands to white men on the following
terms and conditions:
The lands are plated in 20-acre
tracts and man may lease as many
tracts or units as he wishes. He
takes the land unfenced and in sage
brush but with water right and
water flowing in the canal He pays
a yearly rental of $3.50 per acre for
the land, plus his pro ratio of the up
keep of the main canal which has
been from 40 to so cents an acre.
He gives a bond of $500 per tract
or unit to guarantee the faithful per-
formance of his part of the contract.
He retains all the crops raised during
the term of his lease. He takes credit
on his rent account for all work done
as improvements on the land. The
plowing, fencing and build
ing are shown in schedule and the
of money and labor these
things is credited on his rent account.

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
ACRES LAND FOR RENT

The labor expended for laterals and
for cleaning and repairing the later
ais is credited back to him, so. the
only cash rent he pays is that part
of the up-keep assessed for main

grows lighter as the acreage under
cultivation increases. 1t is our un-
derstanding that he pays no tax on
the land nor Improvement for it be-
longs to the government, though he
is probably taxed for his stock and

a new farm and receiving employ

cured constitute the work account.
A rod of fence completed entities

district January /, 1916, as provided
by the terms of house bill number
NAP, which also passed the senate

for his signature, and the terms of
senate bill number so, which also

the constitutional amendment for
prohibition is acted on faVerably in
the fall of 1916, amending the con-
stitution of the state to make Idaho
a permanently prohibition territory,
the last word in dry legislation will
have been said in this state and the
saloon banished forever.

ment, house bill! rrmter 142, as it is
familiarly knowa, merely declares
that on and after January /, 1916,
Idaho will be a prohibition district.

sKYRoCKETs TO FIGHT BIRDS
State zoologist Also Recommends Use
Of Roman Candles to Drive Away,
Feathered Pests.

Prof. A.. H. Surface, Pennsylya-
MIA state zoologist, has a new way to
drive roosting blackbirds from shade
trees. Someone in Erie wrote to the
professor complaining that the mi
grating birds were causing all kinds
of trouble on one Ct the residential
streets Of the city. The professor,
who invents cures for pests almost
every day in the year, was right
there with a remedy. Shoot EN-, he
says, with roman candles and sky
rockets.
Although Professor Surface does
lot guarantee it, it is certain that a
blackbird hit by a skyrocket won't
be back in your locality. The prin-
cipal benefit from this method. how
ever, according to the professor, is
that the fireworks will brighten away
the birds.
Some e%nterprising community
might make a celebration out of it
by adding a band concert and a po-
litieal speech OF two during the fire.
works. The political speeches may
aid in driving away the birds.

At Columbus, N. c., Moore located

that he hadn't been here for years,

was a Masonic ring while he was

If any voter at the coming
election on the wet and dry prop
osition could give one good rea-
son for the continuance of the
present day saloon, that voter
could vote wet with a clear con-
science. There will be many
who will vote on that day who
have no cause to fear liquor in
any form, and who have no fight
on the manufacture and sale of
either whiskey or beer under
proper restrictions but there's
the rub. The present system of
dispensing them has provided a
failure and a menace. There ap-
pears to be no common ground
for the two forces to meet and
formulate regulations which
would tend to promote temper
ance instead of drunkenness, so
the only thing left is to vote dry
and abolish the saloons. No ex-
cuse can be given for the con-
tinuance of the present system.

Brine Cure for Pork.

0AhA~ OAAN Aoh YIN
AS soon as the carcass has
been properly chilled and cut up,
it is ready for curing. Rub each
piece with salt, sprinkle a layer
of salt in the bottom of a good
tight barrel, and over each
layer Of meat as it is packed in
tightly. When the barrel is full,
cover the meat with a board and
weigh it down with a stone so
that none of the pieces can float
with any part of the surface ex-
posed to the air where it is likely
to mould.
Make the brine by di~ssolving
eight pounds of salt and two
pounds Of sugar in four gallons
hot water. This will treat a
hundred pounds of meat, and
should be poured down the side
of the barrel until the meat is
thoroughly covered. -Four or five
days after the brine is put in
the meat should be repacked in
barrel in reverse order
so that the pieces which were at
the bottom will be on top in the
second barrel. Brine should be
poured on as before, and the
transfer to another barrel re-
peated in about five days, and
this time for each pound con
tanned in the larger pieces of
meat in the barrel, that is, a ff-
teen pound piece of meat should
stay in the brine about twenty
two and a half days, then it
should be smoked with hickory,
oak, apple or any other wood ex-
cept that belonging to the pine
until it suits the taste of
the user. About twenty-five
smudges make a good, mild
smoke.
Many prefer not to use salt
or borax, and they should
be used in small quantities if at
all, for both tend to harden the

a bright red color. Not more
than an ounce should be used
with each pound of salt. Borax

MISSOURI is RICH IN
BALLAD LITERATURE
University of Missouri FOstered
Folk Lore Society That Has
Made Interesting Col
lection.

lection.
During the reading of a story
before the English Club of the
University Of Missouri at Co.
lumbia back in 1906, one charac-
ter was introduced singing a
ballad. DIR. H. M. Belden, pro-
fessor of English at the Univer-
sity, found that several members
of the club were familiar with
old songs they had learned by
ear. This discovery led to the
formation of the Missouri Folk
Lore Society.
AT the first meeting of the So
ciety a collection Of the ballads
was begun. The collection now
includes 300 pieces of poetry and
song ballads, representing the
simple and rustic taste of early
Missourians. Doctor Belden
says that the state is rich in this
kind Of literature.
Mrs. l.. D. Ames has contri-
buted to the collection a pamph-
let on the Missouri Play-Party.
Mrs. Ames says that the play
party was the common form of
rural entertainment thirty
years ago. The play-parties
were dances in which the player
kept time with various steps to
their own singing. Invitations
were delivered verbally by
young men on horseback, who
got up" the party.
Here is a fragment of one of
the ballads:
Old Bangum drew his wooden knife
To rob this wild boar of his life.
Come cutie down him carry corn.
They fought fours hours in the day
And then this wild boar stole away.
Old Bangum followed him to his den
And there found the bones of a thous-
and men.
w. G. Bek, an alumnus of the
University of Missouri, has con-
tributed an account of old Ger
man marriage customs in Mis-
souri,. A contribution concern
ing Jewish folk lore in America
has been made to the society, as
well as English folk lore play,
discovered in st. Louis and sent
to the society by Miss Antoinette
Taylor.
A quadruple murder in Linn
County in 1894 was the subject
of many of the ballads of twen-
ty years ago. These verses. OBJ
ening one of the ballads are in
the possession of the folk lore
society:
Come friends, and gather round me
And listen to my song
A sad and solemn story
III not detain you long.
Twas eiohteep hundred ninety-four
And on the twenty Of Nav
The parents and three children
That night we're called away.
The Missouri Folk Lore So
ciety plans to publish a PAM
phlet of Missouri songs, but has
been delayed so far on account
of insufficient funds. It is also
waiting to get its collection fur
Their advanced.
Meetings are held at the time
of the Missouri State Teachers
Association. Miss Mary Owen of
st. Joseph has been president of
the society for six years. Doctor
Belden has been secretary since
its organization. Charles H.
Williams, secretary of the Elk
tension Division of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, is treasurer.
AT the last meeting of the socie-
ty in Kansas City, Mrs. Eva w.
Case of the Kansas City Manu-
al Training High School had
half a dozen of her pupils sing a
