EDITORIAL OPINION

jected fellows, far away from their
village. The prisoners had not eaten
the carriers. They had merely-with
the most cOnsiderate expedition-cut
the thrOats of the carriers, who we're
strangers, at any rate, and therefore
of no great consequence; and no in
genuity of cross-questioning could
elicit motive ulterior to the one so
ingenuously advanced-that the car
riers, appearing to be cold and hun
cry" were in the opinion of the
gentlemen who had incontinently cut
their throats, much better dead. a
similar case of merciful extermina-
tion concerned a young native, em-
ployed to shoot game for a white
planter. who encountered a sick man
(Papuan) on the road, near by
river, and strangled him to death.
Upon trial he explained that the sick
man had created annoyance, and a
considerable embarrassment, as well.
by insistently requesting to be car
ried across the river to the other
side, whence his way lay forward
to his village.
Quite so' said the presiding Of
ticer. "Why, then, didn't you carry
/ him across the river?"
"He was too heavy" replied the
/ native. 1T would have put me TO A
great deal of trouble"
why did you kill him?"
What else could l do? The man
was sick"
II was out of the question to en-

Gered fellow had strangled him-the

which bade fair to distress his feel

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
(From the Knoxville Journal and
Tribune).
In his reply to the protest against
tho interference with American COM
merce by the British government
among other things said by Sir Ed
ward Grey is: 1--WE have no desire
fLatever to interfere with your le-
gitimate commerce, but il is un-
questionable that some INSCRIPTIONS
neutral shippers have taken advan-
tage of the laxness in regulations TO
sneak contraband to our enemies. II
you will undertake to stop this prac-
tice VIC will undertake that there
shall be no interruption in the smooth
interchange between America and
other countries of those articles not
contraband."
Such a proposition is eminently
fair and reasonable. No doubt there
are American shippers who would
have no scruplos in shipping COM
modities contraband if they can see
OF make an opportunity for doing
ST.. They are smugglers, and that
is class with which collectors at
American ports have often had 10
deal. II may not be an easy thing,
but it is our duty to ourselves, as
well as to Great Britain or any one
of the other belligerents, to prevent
this as far as possible.
1t will help to make 1t easy to
avoid complications in regard to ship
ping if all shippers will recognize
that honesty is the better policy"

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Evidences of prosperity and of the
town are not to be measured by sucl
events as the issuing of bonds anG
the spending of bond money. There is
far better and safer way to judge
of the permanent soundness of com
munity's welfare. This is by observ-
ing carefully the improvements fol-
which the people, as whole, are
spending their hard-earned money. If
the average citizen has money which
he is free to use in house or garage
building, in sidewalk laying, and in the
general enhancing of the beauty of his
premises, evidence is complete that
the town as whole is prosperous.
Humble improvements should not
he slighted, because, however little ex-
pense and trouble a property owner
may be going to in the matter Of re-
pairs or new structures, the fact that
he is doing anything at all that in
wolves an outlay of his savings is a
guarantee that he has confidence that
he is not disturbed by fears, and that
he is willing to trust the fair future of
his city.
This sense of permanent well-being,
of the absence of danger to invest
ments, and of the security of savings
expended for this or that improve
ment is the best thing that can be
wished for any community from fin
ancial standpoint.
Moscow furnishes this spring
striking example of town thus bless
ed by the soundest kind of prosperity.
If you have any doubt of the abundant
evidences of it. walk about from street
to street.
Here a man is filling IN lot at con-
siderable expense, leveling it, seeding
1t, and maintaining lawn that he new
err before dreamed he could afford.
There another man is laying cement
sidewalks around three sides of his
property and making them wider than
the minimum permitted by ordinance.
Here a man is putting up a bungalow
although he knows it will cost him
more than living in rented cottage.
There another man is building gar
age on the site where stood barn
which was unsightly and which has
just been removed.
Even less pretentious pieces of
work count and count a great deal in
the community's condition.
The Strengthening of fence, the paint
ing of a house, the setting out OF
trees, and shrubbery, the building of
a new warehouse, the making over of
a tiny cottage into a two story bunga-
low-these and many other activities
are rushing Moscow workmen and US

AT THE FAIR

The Star-Mirror has recently receiv
ed from the exposition Representatives
of Idaho at San Francisco cordial
expression of appreciation for the
gratuitous bundle of Star-Mirrors sent
evey day to the Idaho building to be
placed on prominent center table for
visitors. The management states tha-
the papers will be means of adverts-
ing Idaho to persons from abroad and
will also keep home-folk in touch with
Latah county events.
The Star Mirror sends regularly a
large number of copies of the weekly
as well as of the daily, and it is graf
flying to learn that these will be
placed where the interested public
may have ready access to them.
The Star-Mirror is always glad to
advertise the resources and attractions
of this community through the col
umns of its daily and it's weekly pa
per; and it believes that the donation
of papers by other Idaho publishers
would be the effective means of in
ducing many travellers to include Ida
no sections in their itinerary.
The daily newspaper is a faithful
record of the activities, enterprises,
aims, and possibilities of a commun
ity, and it is in such records that the
and the investor are in

PERSEVERANCE

The campaign against wretched side
walks threatens to be protracted. But
let not the ambitious heart be dis
couraged More good sidewalks are
appearing each month, and there is
hope that in time it will be possible
to shame some property owners into
mending and improving the wrecks
upon which pedestrians every day
risk their persons.
Sidewalk" is a distinct misnomer
for the traps owned by some prom
inent citizens. The public would pre-

START TRAINING BULL EARLY
inserting Nose Ring Is Simple and
Short Observation-Disclosures
Metal Does Not Rust.

A bulls training must be started
early. A light weight ring should be
inserted in his nose when he Is from
nine to twelve months old, but under
no circumstances should he be led by
the ring until three or four months
after SO that the nose can heal up
well.
Inserting the nose ring is simple
and short operation when properly
done. First tie the bull securely to a
post by the head and horns, then take
common trocar and cannula, well
sterilized, and push 1t through the
thinnest part OF the membrane that
separates the nostrils, withdraw the
trocar, leaving the cannula in the open
ing. Put one end Of the opened ring
in the pointed end of the cannula and
then carefully withdraw cannula,
which brings the ring into the open
ing and after closing ring and putting.

the operation, the ring should be ex-

AGES OF VARIOUS LANDS
Many European Countries That Can
by No Means Be Considered
as Old.

Compared with France and Ger
many, Switzerland is old. Under Ma
poleon's patronage the sturdy little
Alpine states were united into an in
dependent, but rather loose, fedora
ton in 1903. In 184S new confed-
Grafton was formed, modelled on that
of the United States, and holding the
cantons together in more strongly
centralized federal power. In 1874
a revision of the constitution gave
still greater power to the central gov
eminent. 1t is interesting to note that
at the congress of Vienna the powers
of Europe agreed never to violate the
neutrality Of Switzerland, or to at
tempt to move troops through the
passes of the Swiss alps.
Greece has been an independent
kingdom since 1882, Roumania since
1862, Bulgaria since 1885. Montene-
gro became Independent in 1878 and
was made constitutional monarchy in
1905. The Portuguese republic was
established in 1910. Turkeys new
regime is five years old.
Russia stands, alongside of Eng
land, as our rival in point OF age. The
empire of the Romanoffs has changed
but little since the time when Ivan
the Terrible, in 1854. threw of the
Tartar yoke.

ENsILING THE GREEN CROPS
Extensive investigation Carried on by
Nebraska Experiment Station
Six Small Silos Used.

The department of agricultural
chemistry of the experiment station
and college of agriculture of Nebras-
ka has been carrying on an extensive
investigation during the last year on
the chemistry of the processes which
take place during the ensiling of vari-
Gus green crops. Special attention has
been given to silage made from mix
lures of alfalfa and sweet sorghum.
Six small silos holding about one
ton each were filed in September.
1914, with various mixtures. Two Of
these silos were opened during the
second week of August, 1915, and the
silage in each was found to be in per-
feet condition. The first silo con-
tanned a mixture of one part sweet
sorghum and one part alfalfa, while
the second contained mixture of one
part sweet sorghum and two parts af-
falfa.
Alfalfa alone will not make sill
age, because the plant does not con-
tain enough sugar to insure the pro-
duction OF sufficient acid to preserve
the silage The acid produced from
the sugar in the green plant by bac-
terial action preserves the silage. By
mixing sweet sorghum with the alfalfa
the necessary sugar is supplied.

FEED CALVES IN sTANcHI0Ns
Discouraaes Desire to Suck One An
others Ears-Wooden Device 10
Entirely Satisfactory.

There are several good reasons for
feeding calves In stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain, and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire
to suck one another's ears. A
stanchion made Of wood will be entire
ly satisfactory. It should be made
from to 81 feet high and 1S to "A
inches from center to center, with the
neck space to inches wide. 1t is
built in the same manner as the old
style rigid stanchion. The calf should
be fastened while eating, but loosened
from the stanchions after it has eaten
its grain. The calf pens and stanchions
should be built in the south side OF the
barn. where plenty of sunshine and
light can be had. There is no disin-
fectayt that will take the place OF
sun5hine.

amined and all rough edges carefully
filed down so there is nothing to irri-
tate the nose and keep it raw and
bleeding.
When the animal is about two to
two and one-half years old, the light
ring should be removed and good
heavy ring inserted. Iron rings should
not be used as they rust and keep the
bulls nose raw and sore. The best
are made of brass or bronze compost
ton metal and do not rust.
In tying up the bull by the nose,
one should be careful to avoid fright
ening him, causing him to jump back
and slit the ring out Of his nose. It
IS safest to pass the tie chain through
the nose ring and then up and around
his horns and when he jerks back most
of the strain comes on the horns and
not at the nose.

PROPER TOOLS FOR DAIRYING
Manure Spreader Is One Of Most
Profitable lmpIements-Siio Is
Regarded as Essential.

It is impossible 90 give specific
answer to the question as to what tools
q dairyman should possess. Much de-
ponds upon a mans pocketbook and
the possibility OF his changing work
with neighbors to get the use Of their
tools, and upon labor conditions in
general. For instance, manure
spreader is one of the most profitable
implements for a farmer with any
amount Of dressing to distribute. Yet
it is possible to handle the manure In
the old way if man simply cannot
buy a spreader.
If you are dairying you ought to
have a silo, and that means a silage
cutter and an engine, unless you can
arrange with a neighbor to do the
work. If you raise potatoes in any
quantity a planter. sprayer. and sure
ly a digger, viii perform the work
most economically. Yet it Is possible
to get along without these. Or course,
you would not expect to compete very
successfully with growers who have
such improved machinery. This class
of tools Is in use only portion OF the
year, and it ties up your capital TO your
disadvantage II you have but little TO
begin with. There are certain things
that every farmer Is expected to have.
