GIBSON GARMENT Co.
In Operation In the BlerbOwer Build
ing On East Second
Street.

The Bierbower building, the present
home Of the Gibson Garment Com
pany. on East Second street, is rapid
ly assuming the appearance of a full
fledged factory. On the third floor
which has been reftted and made over
are located the machines for making
different kinds of garments manufac-
tured by the Gibson people. They
make drawers, middies, wash skirts
house dresses. aprons and kimonos.
At present there are about twenty
five girls at work and all work Is
paid for by the piece or lot. The
machines are the Union Special and
Singer sewing machines of the latest
improved patterns. When you see d
machine doing three tucks at a time
hemming and trimming edges at one
operation, a buttonhole machine cut
ting the buttonhole and working it al
the same time, you cease to wonder
at the low price the garments can be
sold for.
1t takes patience and time for cir
to learn how to operate her machine
and when she does learn how to op.
crate the machine she will earn from
$S to $12 per week.
This department is in charge OF
Mrs. Marie Myers, forelady. Mrs
Myers is one of the best in her line
of work in the United States.
On the second floor are the Office
and cutting rooms. When you see
from 100 to 500 layers of muslin ex-
tending forty feet in length, and the
patterns marked off, then an electric
cutter goes Though this, cutting out
from 1900 to 1000 garments in an
hours time, you again get some idea
of the low cost of manufacturing the
articles we buy Mr. NJ. Gordon is
foreman in this department.
Over all is the president and general
manager, Mr.. NJ. Fischer. In a short
time, just as soon as the rooms can
be arranged, the Gibson people ex-
pect to transfer the balance of the
plant from Cincinnati to this place.
The rooms are sanitary, well lighted
and ventilated. The Ledger man did
enjoy his trip and the explanations
given him. The hum of the machines
sounded good to him

CAN'T We HAVE ONE?
4 Farmers Institute For This City
and County, One Like Other
Tobacco Fairs Il
Possibility.

Several gentlemen of this city the
last few days have been interesting
themselves in talking up a farmers in
stitute, to be held about the middle OF
March in this city, and with little
more cooperation on the part of our
citizens it can be made success.
Their plan is to hold an Independent
one free from the influence of polit-
ical wire-pullers and the like, the
speaks to be gotten from a force of
men trained in the work of the farm
who are able to tell It to the farmers,
and the program to be made up in
Maysville instead of somewhere else,
in fact, have it pushed along on the
plan of tobacco fairs that were so
successfully held here several years
ago.
This is a proposition that can be
made a big success if it is only gone at
right and these men who are promot-
ing it know how to do that.
Heretofore the farmers, for whose
benefit these institutes have been held,
have made themselves conspicuous by
their absence from the meetings, but
with one run along the lines advocated
by those who are suggesting it we feel
confident Mr.. Farmer will attend and
be greatly benefited by coming in con-
tact with these people.
Let's get together, gentlemen, and
have big one, for what benefits the
farmer, benefits us city fellers, too.

FOUR CROP CLUBS.

An Interesting Branch of Agricultural
Club Work.
prepared by United States department of
agricultural
In order that the work of the farm
club boys in the south may be made
continuous, progressive and even more
beneficial than it has been a general
Investigation and rotation campaign
is being promoted. The officials of the
United States department of agricul-
ture in charge Of demonstration work
In the south, in cooperation with the
colleges, during the past three years
have been getting the boys to try out
various crop rotations. The plan is for
every boy to use small grain and
legumes on his acre that has been in
corn.
OF course the crops will not be the
same under all conditions. Some boys
will grow oats and vetch, some rye
and crimson clover. Others may use
oats followed by cowpeas or soy beans
or cover crops of rye followed by pea
nuts and wheat or barley with catch
crops of clover. The various state;
district and local agents are adapting
the general program to local condi-
tons.
At the close of the first year in the
corn club work each club member is
being urged to grow one farm animal.
AS far as possible local groups Of boys
will use the same kind Of stock and
grow the same animals. Thus there
are to be more pig, baby beef, lamb
and even kid clubs. The idea of the
rotation will involve grazing and soil
building.
A club member. under this system
may be growing peanuts and rape for
his pigs and at the same put his acre
in better condition to produce larger
yield when he plants it in corn again.
After the acre has been put into corn
again on the third year the boys will
be urged to seed 1t to alfalfa or peren
NAL clovers and grasses.
Thus at the close of his third years
course as club member he will turn
his acre over to his father in better
condition than when he began with 1t
and will have also mad, some demon

to his community

if we lost our bet with the govern
ment. Our dugout was snug and
comfortable and storms did not af-
feet us in the long winter nights We
had plenty to eat and when there
was snow we had plenty to drink.
The neighbors were like so many
brothers, always glad to meet, and
very friendly. We got our mail every
day, thanks to the Short Line boys.
Our latchstring always hung out and
we kept everybody that came along
wanting food or shelter, not barring
the hobo who tackled the big bar
rens, for it was 10 miles one way and
40 the other to the settlements.
When spring came we cleared and
plowed 80 acres and sowed it to
wheat, oats, barley and buckwheat,
which all did extra we'll on first
blowing. We raised plenty Of garden
for family use, and on one-fourth of
an acre we raised 20 sacks of nice
potatoes, some weighing one and
three-fourths pounds, and of excep-
tionally fine flavor. This, of course,
was without irrigation, for we are
entirely out of the reach of bitches,
and where the wind blows very warm
in summer.
Since that time there have been
other crops that were not SO good,
but settlers should not get discour-
aged with their bet; try friend
RUPEES plan and you will surely sue
coed. 1t is true we have both the
bitter and the sweet, but don't ex-
pect too much for the first few sea-
sons; don't think because you filed
on 800 acres that it will make the
living without help. It will not do
it, for the jack rabbits are starving
to death right now, and anyone will
if they live the happy-go-luck life of
a rabbit.
Within the three years since I
came here, the country has settled
up and is nearly all fenced and much
Of it under crop. A lot of men and
women have made the bet and are
staying with it to win. One of the
greatest forces that anybody is OPP
Grating in this county to help the set
tiers is the printing of The Idaho Re-
publican with it's theories and the
theories of the farmers that are sue
ceeding. The editor makes me think
of a good football player-he will
tackle anything even tho it looks like
a stone wall. This county needs more
men that are not afraid to tackle
hard questions for public benefit,
such as buying the fairgrounds by
the county; he will find out what is
best to do about it before any mis-
take is made. Every settler ought
to take paper for his own good as
we'll as the good of the country"

TABER MAN BETS
With GOVERNMENT

H. F. Scissor, one of the early
settlers of Taber, comments on Sena-
tor Borah's remarks to the effect that
when homesteader makes applica-
ton for entry for a claim, the gov
eminent respond and makes the
agreement, the substance of which is
that Uncle Sam bets 800 acres of
land against $22 that the settler will
starve to death, If the settler sue
ceeds and obtains title to the land,
the government collects taxes from
him, and if he fails, the government
has the land and sells it again. 1t
sounds unpatriotic to talk that way,
but there have been SO many govern
ment bureaus put to work to lay
hardships upon the settlers and place
foolishly vicious distractions to sue
cess, that within the past few years
some of our western representatives
and senators have been working to
awaken interest in legislating for the
settlers advantage, especially in re-
ward to things that do no harm to
anybody. We have referred to some
of the practical things about turning
wild land into farms and gardens,
and Mr.. Scissor has done some re-
fiecting on the practical side of pio-
neering. He has written briefly some
of his own experiences, acting per-
haps on the theory that one-half the
people don't know how the other
half the getting along, and it would
do no harm for them to know.
Mr.. Scissors Letter
II see that some of the other Mis-
souri, boys are sending in a sketch
of their experiences in western life.
We too, made the same kind of a
bet with Uncle Sam three years and
three months ago, and have surely
lived up to our part of the bet. We
are from the "show-me" state, and
not afraid to work. We fully believe
the man that makes this bet and
takes friend RUPEES plan will soon
glide on easy street. When I came
to Taber switch in October, 1913,
there was not a missing sage brush.
put up a small shack on my 800
acre claim, lived in that about one
month, bought a team from Bishop
England at Moreland, a plow from
Neil F. Boyle, borrowed scraper
and made dugout and moved my
shack over the front Of this and lived
comfortably with my wife and two
boys.
Within 10 days after settled here
nine others took land amounting to-
1000 acres on bet. That winter
we trapped coyotes and link-cats, and
sold $110 worth of furs, and my wife
being school teacher, we all studied
our lessons, and for recreation we

900 posts, enough to fence 240 acres
of our precious sagebrush, and every
load of posts and wire we riveted
fast to the land increased the
stakes for somebody else to win
