A MAN OWES
HIS TOWN

A man owes his town his proper
ance somewhat the same as a stock
holder in a ditch owes his proportion
of maintenance charges and proper
regulation of his water The town
doesn't owe it to him to clean up
his ash heaps nor his brush heaps,
but he owes it to the town to pay
such taxes as it is necessary to assess
to him to pay for such public service
as may be customary or agreed upon
as a public charge. If every man
in town owned the same amount Of
real estate and made the same
amount of litter to be removed, and
it was agreed that the town should
hire men and teams to remove it.,
that would be equitable, but since
some men own much property and
others little or none, and some men
are industrious and keep their prem
Uses neat and clean and others are
the reverse, it is not equitable to use
the public money for the cleanup.
When a man gets it into his head
that the town owes it to him to haul
away his trash and that he will just
leave it an obstruction in the street
until they do remove it, he is in a
frame of mind where he needs to be
taught some fundamentals. The
present city council made a ruling
this spring on the assumption that
citizens had ordinary intelligence
and that they wanted to do their part
regarding the city cleanup, and in
this they made a mistake owing to
the fact that many of the citizens
lack intelligence. They decided that
on cleanup day, persons having
small piles Of rubbish, not enough to
make a wagon load, might have it
removed by the city teams, but not
if it were so much as a wagon load.
This was explained thru the press,
and yet there are people all over
town, men who are abundantly able
to clean up their own property, who
have dumped ashes, brush and ma
nure out over their property line and
defiantly leave it for the city to re-
move, saying II have done my part,
when as a matter of fact, they have
done nothing of the kind. So long
as the council have this kind of men
to deal with they are in position
where only rigid measures will teach
them their place. The councilmen
do not want to hurt anybody's feel
ings. So long as they feel that way
they are disqualified to be council
men and ought to rise to the occa-
sion or resign. We venture the sug-
gestion that il the offenders were
given "a hours to remove their rub
bish and at the end of that time
some of the best-able of them were
brought before the court and fined, |
the council would begin to have some

KINDNESS TO
ANIMALS

In the stress Of the world wal
when human hearts are wrung with
the thoughts Of suffering we cannot
prevent, is a good time to extend
sympathy and thoughtful care to the
dumb animals within our reach.
People sometimes forget that they
are as sensitive to pain as people,
and far more helpless in their suf-
fering. AS man was given dominion
over the animals, he is also respon-
sible for their condition. People are
apt to forget-some never were
taught-that ear ache in a dog is as
distressing to him as it is in a child;
that corns on horses feet cause as
much suffering as corns on the hui
man foot; that bad tooth hurts any
animal and causes it to lose flesh
as certainly as bad tooth units
the man or woman for service or toll
cradle existence, yet the animals are
powerless to help themselves and I'M
less cared for must simply bear the
torture so easily relieved IL studied
and acted upon.
The education of ourselves goes on
best by directing special attention
to subject nationally, and clean
up week. trade at home week"
and Mothers Day." are manifesto
tions of the willingness Of the public
to make special study and observance
of certain neglected subjects. The
American Humane society has desig-
mated a week to "Be kind to ami
mails" and fixed May ID to 20, with
May 81 as Humane Sunday"
The person, who has been In SYM
pathy and fellowship for dumb ami
mails, will find new pleasures opened
to him il he will but put himself
in the animals place and act upon
the impulses that come of that rela-
ton. These acts bring their own
reward in the larger and better life
that wells up in ones bosom, and
once understood the relation Of fell:
lowship and sympathy will become
permanent, dating from the week he
began to "Be kind to animals"

A MAGNANIMOUS
LEADER

Last month a rather notable thing
happened at Salt Lake City. Judge
c. G. Goodwin. the veteran editor and
Mormon fighter for 40 years, devoted
the front page of his paper, Good
wins Weekly, to a biographical
sketch and kindly editorial express
sion upon the life and character Of
President Joseph Smith, the head
of the Mormon. church. Besides this
he published picture of the man
whose work he has criticised for half
more than half his life.
This must be gratifying alike to
both Mormons and gentiles. It was
most consistent thing for Goodwin
to do. 1t was a most gracious thing,
and should carry with it healing
effect and help to hide the scars Of
bitter fights Of the past. To all fair
minded men it will take off the
rough edges and emphasize the COM
mon brotherhood Of man. To the
young and middle Jed men. it has
an added significanc( amely, II two
men "a and 70 yea old respec-
lively, having entertained points Of
disagreement for half century and
having stood firmly for their ideas as
they saw the light, shall recognize
each others worth at life's sunset,
why should not the thousands of
others with similar differences lay
them all aside in view of this signal
victory of two leaders over their own
prejudices or mistakes!
For SO years Judge Goodwin had
said that when those he opposed
recognized certain principles and OBJ
served them he had no further quar-
rel with them and theirs. For the
past 20 or 80 years such adjustment
has been taking place, and differ
ences have been vanishing until they
are negligible. 1t would not have
been fair nor magnanimous for the
editor to withhold Acknowledgement
of such adjustment as he believed
had been made, and it would have
reflected discredit upon himself to
fail to do so. Judge Goodwin was
"a years old on the fourth of April,
and in his paper of the eighth he
commented generously upon the abil-
lty OF President Smith and uses the
expression, "Once stern and unre-
lenting, he has mellowed as the years
go on, until he sees but the good in
humanity and forgives men their
trespasses
None OF the friends of these aged
men can hope to have them spared
for many years more, and in the
lengthening shadows it is good to
see the evidence Of recognition of
mutual worth.

WON LAURELS
IN ALBERTA

| A former Blackfoot man is receiv
ing considerable publicity among thu
newspapers in Alberta on account Of
the part he has taken in a fight which
the settlers had with what they de
| nominate "the biggest corporation
on earth,'' the Canadian Pacific rail
way. The man referred to is w. d
Trego, one of the promoters of the
local sugar factory at Blackfoot, anG
one of five who refused to lie dowI
when they were whipped and beaten
when the notorious Soren Hansen
shifted the sugar making plant tt
Idaho Falls after having sold it tc
Blackfoot. They put up their owe
money to fight it for the community
and finally won what was lost in the
betrayal and with the stakes awarded
by the courts they secured another
plant year later.
Eight or nine years ago The Cana
, dian Pacific opened for sale piece
of territory under an irrigation sys-
tenn that proved to be a gold brick
and w. D. Trego bought a chunk OF
1T. He did SO we'll at first that he
bought all that joined him, and then
he. began to lose money, putting up
stubborn fight thru several bad
crop years. During these dry years
the settlers discovered where they
had been gold-bricked, and Trego
took the lecture platform telling
them about it, with the result that
$4,000 farmers were using their in
tluence and the strength of their Or
ganization to force the railroad COM
pany to make terms with the settlers.
Failing in this they took their fight
up to the Canadian parliament and
had the question injected into every
business maneuver within the reach
of their organization, until the rail-
road could not even stick" settler
for one days unjust demurrage on
a freight car without having the 49,
900 on its back with hammer and
tongs. The fight has been In prog
ress for five years, and recently it
was settled by about 80 representa-
tives of the contending forces as
sembled at Calgary in meeting pre-
sided over by Mr.. Trego where mu-
tual compromises were made and the
gold brick irrigation system was one
of many legs of the big dispute COW
ering elevators, car demurrage, tar
ifs to Winnipeg and Vancouver, the
classification of lands and 20-year ex-
tensions to finish their payments.
At the close Of the last session of
the big commission Of 80, when the
signatures and the big seals had been
affixed to the agreements, those who
had been in the fight from year to
year with alternate defeats and vic
tories in saying their farwells made
use of that old expression, May the
sun never cease to shine on you and
yours"

AS TO THE BOND
ELECTION

AS to the bond election to be held
Tuesday, the ninth Of May, it is fol-
authorizing the city council to sell
bonds to the amount of $22,25O tC
be used for paying for paving the
intersections of streets and alleys
between the belts or strips that are
about to be laid and paid for by the
abutting property owners. Most OF
the owners of property in the pave
ment district are heartily in favor
of paving, and If there is opposition
to it or to the bonding issue, it has
not become apparent in any decided
movement. AS matter of fact, de.
feating or carrying the bond election
does not seem to affect the, paving
in front of private property; IL
merely decides whether or not the
council may pay for the intersections
by the sale of bonds. The council
considered the matter of levying a
direct tax to pay out of one or two
years taxes, but in order to make
1t easier on the tax payers they de-
cided to do it by bonding if the peo-
pie approved it. We are informed
that they could authorize the paving
in front of the private property and
leave the intersections without paw
ing If the bonds should be defeated,
but this would necessitate extra ex-
pense in caring for the streets and
a higher cost. when the remaining
strips were laid.
The voters at the polls have no
voice whatever in the selection of
the kind of materials to be used,
that being left entirely to the coun-
Gil. The people by two-thirds vote
can authorize the issue of bonds for
any sum not exceeding $22,250, and
the bonds will only be issued to the
amount of the contract which will
probably be less than the amount
named. The bids will be received
and the contract let on the fifteenth
of May.
The fact that it requires two
thirds OF the vote to authorize the
bond issue, makes it important that
those fayoring it should turn out and
record their votes, for If there
should be opposition, all who oppose
the bond will be at the voting.
1t has been said that the paving
may defeat or delay the constitute
ton OF municipal lighting plant
and water system, but If paving
lew street and alley intersections

nents in BIackfoot, then the saving
Y the slight expense named would

When we, the city council, get our

we will give some dinners too, and
demonstrate our service and posi-

FURNISHING WATER FOR COWS
Suitable and Adequate Supply De-
mands Dairyman's Careful At
tention-Avoid All Germs.

All animals require plenty Of good,
pure water. This is especially true
of the milking COW, as water consti-
tutes more than three-fourths of the
volume of milk. The water supply,
therefore, demands the dairyman's
most careful attention. Stale or i'm
pure water is distasteful to the COW
and she will not drink enough for
maximum milk production. Such wa
ter may also carry disease germs
which might make the milk unsafe
for human consumption or be danger
GUS to the COW herself.
During the winter, when cows are
stabbed the greater part Of the time,
and unless arrangements have been
made to keep water before them all
the time, they should be watered two
or three times a day. If possible, the
water should be Is or 20 degrees above
the freezing point, and should be sup
piled at practically the same temper
allure every day. If boiler is used
for running a separator or for heating
water to wash and sterilize utensils,
steam from 1t can readily and cheaply
be used to warm the water.-Farm'

from which he died Sunday was
brought here for safe keeping Tues
day. The negro made his escape af-
ter the shooting and was captured at
Paris, Tenn. The officers brought
him direct from Paris to Hopkinsville
on account of the high feeling against
him at Murray. Reports from MUIR
ray are that a mob was organized and
hunted for the negro Saturday night
and would have lynched him had he

HEAT REDUCES FLOW OF MILK
Poor Pastures and Flies Also Contrib.
ute to Loss-Main Thing Is to
Feed Cows Well.

(By c. III. ECKLEs. Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
During hot weather the milk flow of
the average herd drops down nearly
half. The heat and the condition of
the pastures common at that time of
the year are the main causes of this
drop. The flies generally blamed are
of much less Importance than other
conditions. The real cause is the fall
ure Of the animals to eat sufficient
feed. Poor pastures, heat, the flies
may all contribute to this result. 1t
will be observed that during the hot
weather the cows will Craze but little
and come to the barn at night evident
ly hungry. To produce three gallons
of milk day COW has to gather at
last 100 or 125 pounds of grass. If
the pastures are short and the weather
hot, generally this much grass will not
be gathered and soon the milk flow
goes down.
The influence of these summer con-
ditlons cannot be removed, but may
be improved. The main thing is to see

NEARBY MARKET FOR BUTTER
Dairyman Is Fortunate Who Has
String Of Private Customers
Give First-Class Article.

1t is one thing to produce an article
and another to get a good price for it,
ever when 1t Is worth 1t. The private
dairyman is most fayorably situated
when he has a good nearby market for
butter composed of people whom he
knows well. There is no better trade
than a private one made W of select
ed customers, provided the producer
supplies them with a first-class article
of butter.
Selling 10 the nearby stores, as many
people do, is, for the most part, like
giving butter away, unless one can
make some arrangement other than
the ordinary ones. As rule. the coun-
try merchant pays a very low price
for butter. and In many instances IL
is safe TO say that he pays as much
as II is worth. The fact Is, he often
pays more than the poor butter is
worth and less than the valuls OF
