Does Fight on
Cattle Tick Pay?

The cattle tick has been
driven out of 284,2l0 square
miles, considerably more than
one-third of the area it once
infested Are the people in this
area glad or sorry that they
took the trouble to get rid of
the pest? In order to answer
this question the United States
Department of Agriculture
sent out, a year or two ago, a
circular letter to stockmenand
farmers who had helped in
/ the fight. In this letter these
men were asked to state what
had been, in their opinion, the
increase in their county in the
average value per head ofcat-
tie, in the weight of cattle,and
in the grade or quality of cat
tie; approximately what loss
es there had been from Texas
fever before tick eradication
whether cattle raising had be-
come popular since the tick
had gone; what increase there
had been in pure-bred stock
and the effect upon the dairy
industry. To these questions
something over 1000 replies
I were received from Alabama
Arkansas, California, Georgia
Mississippi, North Carolina
J Oklahoma, South Carolina
Tennessee Texas and Virginia

pears that the average value

A Fourth OF
July Outing

elle Curious TOuIIIl-YeC III IHc /
minds of the young people of |
Center Grove neighDorhood-
as we'll as in many other COM
Imunities-what tender mem
cries will linger through the
looming years.
Memories of a day spent in
sport, SO wholesome, so free
from care and worry, SO full I
OF love and good will as to be |
entirely free from censure.
On the morning of the
Fourth q party of boys and |
girls among whom were Misses
Nora, Geneva, Lydia and Vida |
HARRISON, Lucy and Thelma
Burlington, and Luara Hugg, |
and Messrs Curtis Walden, |
Urban Brittian, Allan Harrel-
son, Colon Britain, and Ed
gar Burlington, left j. E. Har-
relson's with flags flying and |
amid cheers and much merri-
Iment, for Walden's spring near
Curia cave. The boys bought
refreshments on the way and
after pleasant drive, the par
Ity arrived at the selected spot.
The place, though rough, is
nevertheless beautiful. Imag-
Inc a steep hillside with huge
boulders putting out here and
there and covered with lovely
ferns and MOSES; at the foot
a spring of clear, cold water
and you have the best of the
situation in mind.
Everyone was in a jolly
mood and the jolts and bumps
they had received en- route but
served to sharpen their APP
petite without doing them any
physical injury.
Like gallant knights, the
young men carried the heavy
lunch baskets up the steep
hillside, to level spot in the
shade of some giant oaks, anu
we think their labor was re-
Warded by a delicious repast.
Perhaps the noon hour was the
most pleasant of all, at least
every one seemed rather loath
to part company with the
spread.
After noon James Brown.
: Jr., came with more refresh
! ments and the crowd started
for the cave on a little kodak.
o ingg iaunt.
+ After much joyous labor in
{ climbing boulders, up hills,
and through underbrush, they
came to the cave. The scene
around was so picturesque
that it reminded one of the
Goblin cave" in Scots Lady
of the Lake" It must have
been in just such a place that
The Douglas and his daugh-
ter fair,
Sought for a space their safety
there"
James Brown acted the part
of generous guide, and right
CALAMITY he led the way DER
craggy rocks which seemed
almost insurmountable.
Mr.. Walden had kindly lent
the young folks a lantern that
they might explore the cave. |
SO after many screams of fear
% on the part of the young
ladies,the party was soon MAX |
ing its way through the dark |
underground passage.
The scene here is more east
/ ly imagined than described, |
but it made the youngsters
think of old Egypt and the
toombs Of the Pharoahs along
the Nile. So dark, damp and
cold were the rock walls that
soon they were pining for the
Fourth of July sunshine.
We shall not leave them in
the cave, but say that every
one came out alive and looking
we'll and after some kodak
views, the party returned to
the spring where the girls
spread supper. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walden and little son accepted
their kind invitation to par
take of the meal with them
and another enjoyable hour
was spent.
After supper they started
for home, every one having ex-
pressed themselves &c hninn

TRYING TO FOOL US.

Sheriff Froman, who is a candidate
for another term, would have the
voters believe that he has saved the
taxpayers more than $1,000. The
sheriff is careful to make no allowance
for carrying on the business of the
sheriff's office in the new county of
Gem, taken from Canyon county. Ger
tainly it would have cost much more
than our sheriff claims to have saved,
if he had been handling the business
of the Canyon county territory taken
over by Gem. But then you know the
people do not always think about these
things when reading reckless claims of
Democratic economy
There is also another sidDto this
matter. 1t goes to prove the conten-
ton of the people of this end of the
county that the smaller the territory,
the cheaper it is to administer county
affairs. Of course Sheriff Froman

RURAL CREDITS BAIT TO
CATCH THE FARMERS VOTE

The so-called Rural Credits law was
enacted by congress as a purely politi-
cal measure, to be used as campaign
material by the Wilson managers.
There was no sincerity behind it. and
farmers will never receive any prac-
teal benefit under it, 1t could have
been passed two years ago but was
held for campaign purposes.
This law provides procedure OF
endless red tape before any loan can
be obtained. Farmers who have taken
up land know what this means
The law requires the farmer who
wants a loan to take stock in these
banks TO the extent of per cent of his
loan, and if he ever gets loan he be-
comes liable, not only for it, but for
all the loans made by the association
to which he belongs Moreover, his
property held as security for that loan,
cannot be sold by him without the
consent of the Loan board. Think OF
such an absurdity!
Such law was not intended to give
the farmer cheap money but to give
an opportunity for the Democratic
managers to play cheap politics in
their quest for former votes.

CANNOT FOOL REPUBLICAN
WOMEN OF IDAHO

Wilson's campaign managers are
trying to fool the women of Idaho,
and especially Republican women,
with the plea that he kept us out of
war" He might as logically claim
that he kept us out of the poor
house"-and the high cost of living,
which Wilson promised to reduce,
might give some other willy politician
a chance to claim that before long.
The American people kept them
selves out of war with the European
powers by going on record SO strongly
for strict neutrality that no president
could disregard the orders from them.
The American people wanted to
keep out of war with Mexico, but
President Wilson's bungling has
created condition Of war with that
country.
If Wilson is reelected, there will be
war with Mexico for the reason that
his vacillation, his partnership with a
variety Of bandits. his unwarranted in
reference with the internal affairs OF
Mexico, and his absolute failure to de-
mand protection for American citi-
zens has earned for the United States
not only the contempt but the hatred
of all Mexico.
The women of Idaho know the
Mexican story we'll, and they will not
be fooled by the Wilson campaign
pleadings.
On the contrary, at least those who
are Republicans-will vote for Hughes
who will compose the Mexican situa-
ton and bring about peace with
honor.

FALSE CLAIM ON PROHIBITION

Governor Alexander claims to be
the father of prohibition" This is
an absurd claim in the light of the
fact that all parties were pledged to
prohibition and that the legislature
who passed the law would have passed
over his veto.
Moreover, in the campaign of 1914,
at Nampa, he was challenged at open
meeting to state his position on pro-
hibtion and he did not do so. He
never came out for prohibition until
it proved popular.
On the contrary, B. W. Davis, Re-
publican candidate for governor, has
alwoys been for prohibition and was
successfully fighting for prohibition in
his home town of American Falls
when prohibition was unpopular.
He put the saloons out of business
in that town when it was not only
unpopular to be prohibitionist, but
when it resulted in serious business
loss to him.
About the same time. Governor
Alexander, as mayor of Boise. was
permitting that city to run wide open.
SO fragrant was this that on his re-
tirement from office, the Capital News
referred to the Alexander regime as
shameless administration, saying
"two years of incompetency, of blus-
ter and bluff, of playing fast and loose
with gambling and the social evil Gun
der Alexander's administration have
passed like hideous night mare"
