TO THE LADIES OF AMERICAN FALLS

We desire to express our appreciation os the courtesy shown our
lady representatives who called on you last week and to thank
you for the cordial reception given our product. We have placed
Calumet Baking Powder in nearly every home in American Falls,
where it will solve baking problems as it has in millions of homes
in other sections. Read page four in the Cook Book carefully.
Calumet Baking Powder is manufactured in the largest, finest
and most sanitary baking powder plant in the world by chemists
of national reputation. 1t received the highest awards for pur-
ity and efficiency at Chicago in 1907, and at Paris, France, in
1912, the only International Pure Food show held since pure food
laws became effective. 1t contains only such ingredients as have
been officially endorsed by United States Food authorities. 1t
complies with all pure food laws. 1t is the ONLY Baking Powder
guaranteed to be pure in the can and pure in the baking. Calumet
is not in the baking powder TRUST and sells everywhere at the
moderate price of rs cents a pound. 1t is the most economical,
the safest, the surest baking powder that can be manufactured: A
powder whose unrivaed quality is always uniform-the last
spoonful sfted from the bottom of the can is as good as the first
and the first couldn't be better. We have been making Calumet
Baking Powder for a quarter of a century and have succeeded in
perfecting a product that is recognized by experienced house
wives, expert chefs and domestic science teachers as the highest
achievement in baking powder production. When you need bak-
in gpowder order Calumet. The following grocers in American
Falls have Calumet and will be glad to supply you.

fects can be mittgnted. Conditions
compel the dry farmer to study ma
lures laws. and he may r~ightfully
be considered the really scientific
farmer. He delves often natures
truths and applies them whore they
arc understood. It Ia this fact alone
that enables him to compete with tho
irrigator and the knowledge gained
will eventually mako the great plains
of Idaho that cannot be artificially
supplied with moisture a land OF
prosperous homes. In order to
achieve this end without delay, lib
cral financial aid must be given to
farmers. Soil Ia the one universal
asset. Farm products In the United
States amount to the enormous sum
OF ten billions of dollars pcr annum,
more than three times the value Of
all the real money In the United
States and six times the amount on
deposit In all the banks. II ia high
time that more attention should be
given TO financing the farmer. Prac-
tically all Legislation pertaining to
finance has been for the benefit Of
manufacturing and commercial in
l~terests. The American farmer should
be supplied with money on as favor
able terms as the business nan or
manufacturer and It's up to the legis-
lature OF Idaho to solve this problem.
Given this aid, and supplying our
boya and girls with Q knowledge Of
the chemical properties that go to
make up Q fertile soil, and hoy 70
conserve or supply them II lacking
will bring unbelievable prosperity TO
all liner Of business- There In no
more interesting study than this
none more profitable. and ] hope the
day ls not far distant when soil
chemistry will be stught In svery

ton is the one indispensable essential
to successful dry farming. Our most
successful wheat growers are the
ones who cnultivate most. Deep plow-
