TOLD OF QUAINT COUNSELOR
OF Course It Will BE Recognized as 4
Fable, Since There Is None
Like Him.

Once upon time an unfortunate
traveller fell of from the top shelf OF
a sleeping car and denied his left
kneepan quite good deal. He forth
with hied him, limping and lament1ng,
to a lawyer who was reputed to be SO
honest that he preferred to tell the
truth even when a lie would do just
as we'll, and would not accept a re-
tainer from a client unless the latter
had just cause for action. He also
had plenty of time to practice on the
violin.
II choose to sue the soulless corpo-
ration for $4,000 damages" Qouth the
injured man, both because really
am damaged fully SIG worth and also
because $4,000 is the only sum for
which anybody ever sues corpora
tion."
"Pish, likewish tush!" returned the
attorney, reaching out for his faithful
fiddle. ''You would but waste your
time and mine, for the counsel for the
defense would make you laughing
stock and cause your dreams OF av-
arice to turn to ashes in your mouth,
by proving on your own testimony that
you were lame from your berth"
All, was he not queer lawyer, thus
to carelessly throw away an oppor-
tunity for fee, merely to make a sad
witticism kansas City Star.

PLANT LIFE WORTH STUDY
Men of Science Have Ascribed to
Them, Nearly All the Attributes
of Humanity.

Occasionally a writer bobs up who
ascribes to plant life nearly all the at
tributes claimed for humanity. Rec
ognized scientific authorities are pain
fully silent on the subject, as must be
the case with all who have had an in
innate acquaintance with plants, yet
plant life reveals many wonders to
those who study it closely.
A magazine, whose name we have
automatically forgotten. contains an
article on the Passions of Plants"
in which occurs the following: In
the light, moreover, of the new knowl-
edge we have regarding the joys and
sorrows of buds and blossoms, what
can be said in defense of the heartless
race of florists and horticulturists?
Every year-nay, every month!-they
deliberately snip off from the parent
plant thousands and thousands of un-
offending blossoms and innocent buds,
who are thus brought to an untimely
end. And for what? Merely to heigh-
ten. perhaps, the beauty of bail
room!"

time appointed committee of five to prepare
declaration of independence of the same pur-
port Lees resolution, in the hope that the
new doctrin5 would be unanimously accepted
when the ma er should be again taken up In
July.
Policy demanded that a southerner should
be chosen to write the declaration In order to
increase the probability of its unanimous adop-
tion Logically Jefferson was the man to carry
this work through, for the mastery style OF his
pen was well known. With such coworkers,
though, it cannot be supposed that he alone was
the author of the resolution; for the RESPONSE
bility had been assigned to all i've jointly, and
the counsel and advice of all we're necessary.
However. the credit Of the phraseology is given
to Jefferson, while John Adams is said to have
given close attention to the revision and the
amending Of the resolution. The entire commit
tee helped perfect the documents by making 1t the
subject of critical analysis. In allowing the
Declaration of independence to be ready before
it's assembly on June % congress preceded its
schedule.
Satisfied that all were acquainted with Its con-
tents the legislature then laid the bill on the
table until it should come up for discussion by
congress sitting as committee Of the whole
BY trial vote July only nine colonies voted
as favorable to the resolution.
Final legislative action was therefore deferred
until the next day. That July 2, was probably
the most memorable Of all dates of our national
history. During the stormy debate at that time
the declaration was both attacked and COM
mended.
When the vote of the day was takenit was found
that the declaration had been unanimously in
dorsed by all of the thirteen colonies.
The vote in favor of the declaration was not
sufficient to make the adoption of the new reso-
luton complete for the next day congress sat as
a committee of the whole to consider the bill At
that time slight alterations were made, certain
clauses censurng England were omitted and
others regarding slave trade were left out. while
other amendments were added.
On July congress assembled again and i'm
mediately resolved tsen into committee for the
consideration of the Declaration of independence.
When John Hancock as president of the con-
gress, resumed the chair, Mr.. Harrison, great
grandfather of our former president of the United
States. reported that his committee had agreed
to the declaration, which they desired him to
report
What followed this announcement is largely a
matter of surmise. despite the fact that the de-
bate lasted all through the warm day, when dele
gates either talked or listened swathed in heavy,
close-htting stocks.
If it had not been for seemingly trivial Incl
dent the debates of that day might probably have

Interesting Find in Attic.

Attics in old houses are always in
teresting places. The cleaning of an
attic in Wilmington, VT, resulted in
the discovery of a record book dating
back to 1875, in which year there was
organized social library" with con-
stitution, bylaws and subscribers,
manifestly forerunner of the free Ii
braries that are now found in every
community. Entries in the book show
that fines were assessed whenever
one of the precious volumes was even
slightly soiled by lingering or marred
by the turning down of leaves. That
there was much reading by candle
light may be inferred from the fact
that Israel Lawton was fined II cents
for dropping tallow on book No. SO,
and Timothy Castle six cents for get
ting a single drop of tallow on book
No. 16. 1t is an interesting glimpse
of days when books were rare and
their perusal a privilege for which
the studious paid gladly.

RECOMMENDATION Of ANewfound!and.O

The noun Newfoundland is pro-
nounced "Nu-fund-land," with the ac-
cent on the first and last syllables.
To quote Lippincott's Gazetteer:
This word is universally pronounced
by the inhabitants with the accent on
the first and last syllables. When,
however, it is used as an adjective.
as in the phrase "a Newfoundland
dog" euphony requires that the accent
should be placed on the penultima.
The same rule seems to hold with re-
spect to some other names: Leghorn
and Cashmere, as nouns, are usually
accented on the last syllable. but as
adjectives almost invariably on the
first" 1t is, no doubt, this distinction
in accenting the word, by its two
usages, which has led to the suspi-
cion of change in the standard OF
pronunciation.

Senior Among Nations.

Italy may fairly claim to be senior
among the nations of Europe, so far
as its name is concerned. The PENN
sula has been Italia almost as far
back as even legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen the "Itali'' proper
were the inhabitants of the southern
part of the country. AS to the origin
of the name, there is the normal le-
gend of King Italus; but his name
must have been pronounced Vitalus
or Vitulus, which means bull-calf,
and it is easy to recognize in it an
allusion to Italy as the land of cat
tie.

French and German LANGUAGES.

The French, Spanish, Italian and
Portuguese languages (know6 as the
Romance languagesl are offshoots
of the old Latin. and are, to consid-
cradle extent, founded upon it, while
the German and English tongues grew
up quite apart from the Latin. That
is why the Scandinavian, Dutch, Ger
man and English languages (Which,
like the peoples themselves, are close
~ related) are SO scant in Latin
words and derivations.

SILAGE GAINING IN FAVOR
Becoming More Popular for Feeding
Cattle and in Some Sections 1t
10 Almost a Necessity.

Silage for feeding cattle is becom-
ing more popular every year and
throughout many sections has become
almost necessity. There may be
some districts in which roughage can
be more cheaply supplied in the form
OF hay; but even then something sue
culent, in the form Of silage or roots,
is almost essential for the best results.
know OF no better combination than
clover hay and good corn silage. The
one seems to be the exact complement
of the other. Both are very palatable
to cattle and should be fed separately
for the sake of variety.
A bunch Of cattle getting a good
feed night and morning of cut straw
and silage, mixed IL hours before feed.
ing. and all the long clover hay they
will eat at noon, is about as we'll OF
for roughage as is possible. l do not
know Of any other ration on which
cattle can be kept SO full all the time
without putting them off their feed.
In the early part of the season very
little grain should be fed and the al
lowance gradually increased from
week to week. Many farmers waste
a good deal of grain by overlooking
in the early part of the winter. It is
an easy matter to ruin the digestion
of steer by feeding too much corn
for any considerable length of time.
A mixture of grains will always give
better results than any single variety
fed alone. If cottonseed meal and mo.
lasses are to be fed it is good prac.
tice to keep them for finishing ra.

A DIVINE COVENANT.

God Almighty gave Eve to Adam
with the pledge that she would be his
helpmeet and with this order Of COM
panionship, civilization has lowered
to its greatest heights. In this rela-
tionship, God has blessed woman and
man has honored her and after four
thousand years of progress, she now
proposes to provoke God to decoy
man by asking for suffrage, thereby
by amending an agreement to which
she was not party
Woman, remember that the lsraelite
scorned a divine covenant, and as a
result wandered forty years In the
wilderness without God. Likewise
man should remember that it is q
dangerous thing to debase woman by
law. Rome tried lowering woman'a
standard and an outraged civilization
tore the clothes off the backs of tia
human race and turned them out to
roam in the world naked and I'M
ashamed.

Canyon county is attempting to
make its county fair into a statewide
annual exhibit and should have en-
couragement from the other counties.
The Canyon county fair is by all
odds the biggest and best conducted
fair in the state, with its central loca-
ton and well-kept grounds and build
ings, the logical beginning for good
state association. The need for a state
fair as the agricultural and live stock
interests increase is apparent and
many believe that such an association
would receive hearty support all over
the state. Ada county and Boise in
particular would have had the same
support in the past if it could have had
recognized the rights of the other Sec
tons and not attempted to put over
one or two raw deals through the var
ious legislative sessions.

TO PREVENT SOIL DRIFTING
First Thing to Do Is to Keep Ground
Full Of Roots-organic Matter of
Any Kind Is Helpful.
(By w. c. PALMERD

tBy w. G. PALMER.)
In a good many places, when the
soil is put in a condition to keep the
moisture from evaporating, the soil is
so loose that it will blow. This is a
serious problem. and it will get worse.
The first thing to do is to keep the soil
full of roots, such as grasses and alfal-
ia. The roots hold the soil grains to-
gether into soil granules or little
Jumps, and then it cannot drift. They
act a sood deal as the band about
bunch of shingles. AS long as it is
in place the bunch cannot blow, but
if the band is broken, then the wind
can take the shingles, one at time,
and scatter them over a 40-acre lot.
Organic matter of any kind is help
full; spreading manure, and especially
putting it on thin with the manure
spreader, is helpful. In case crop
has been sown and the land begins
to drift, then putting on a thin Gov
ering of straw will help.

Citizens who have visited the cities
of the West of all sizes return with
tales of stagnation in business and fl
nancial depression. Everyone of these
citizens comment upon the prosperous
conditions found in the Twin Falls
country until even those who have
been shouting hard times the loudest
are compelled to stop and admit thta
this is the best country on earth.
Most of the trouble here is in the
minds of the people who do not realize
that the so-called prosperous times
of several years ago, so often referred
to with reflective longing for the re-
turn, were abnormally prosperous due
to big influx of outside capital. That
outside capital has to some extent been
cut off and the result is now almost a
normal condition for an agricultural
community, with money plentiful in
the fall and scarce during the growing
of the crops. The Twin Falls country
is good. 1t is forging to the front
steadily and surely. 1t is by far bet
ter off financially than most sections
of the West. The only trouble is with
the people who cannot get over the
boom times of the early days and the
"easy money" which resulted from an
over-stimulated condition. We arc
fortunate indeed that no bad reaction
resulted from the over-stimulation.

A JUST CRITICISM

On a recent trip through the Sal
mon river and Twin Falls tracts spe-
cial notice was taken of the condition
of the roads, especially the main road
from Twin Falls to Rogerson. This is
a pretty good road, very much better
than few years ago, but one glaring
fault that could be easily and cheaply
remedied was apparent. Nearly all
culverts across laterals and private
bitches are about three feet higher
than average roadheds, making many
difficult and dangerous places for wa
CONS as well as for automobiles. If
such culverts were made wider and
shallower they would carry just as
much water, or if they had proper
dirt approaches they would not be no.
ticeable in travelling over them. The
difficulty seems to have been to hold
earth banked up at either side. A few
rocks laid at each side of the road
at the culverts would help very mater
tally in holding the earth and in main
tanning easy approaches. Rock is
handy in nearly every place through
out the Salmon tract, where these bad
places occur and it would cost but a
few dollars to repair permanently al,
most every culvert on this particular
road 1t occurs to The Miner that il
would be good business to do this, as

'The first principal of money
making is ey-saving. John
Wannamaker.
One of our most successful mer-
chants says that unless a man is in
stinctively saving he will find himself
at sad disadvantage as storekeep-
er.
Stopping the little leaks of waste is
one of the most essential elements in
the success of the merchant. Only a
little margin of waste in the handling
of goods is necessary in order COM
pletely to dissipate the small margin
of profit, leaving the merchant with
only his labor for his pains.
1t is impossible to point to a sim
gle successful merchant or manufac-
turer who has not proper regard for
the value of money and the importance
of thrift in all business relations.
Any beginner in business who does
not have this thrift instinct or who
does not acquire the habit, will be
handicapped just to that extent in
striving toward the goal of CONNER
cial success.
These are principles that you as an
ambitious employee should take to
heart, because financing yourself sue
Icessfully is a presumptive evidence OF
your fitness to handle the financial
interests of others and to assume
greater responsibilities. A savings
! bank account is an Al recommendation
because it indicates so much as to the
character, ability and dependability OF
its possessor.
Then as you help your employers
business to succeed you help your own
chances. AS one large employer put
it:
every dollar saved in any depart
ment means that we can sell more
service for the same price. 1t makes
our service better, bigger thing, anG
it makes somebody a better, bigger
job"

Winter FEEDING of Horses.

working season is over, the horses are
made to rough it, that is, they are
made to exc out their entire liyeli-
hood from straw, corn fodder, or any
other waste food that may be about
the place, While horses not engaged
in active work require less food, the
quality of food supplied should be
kept up, If the horses are to keep in
good order and be ready for the hard
work expected of them in the spring.
