SAX SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT HI1 HE YOU HAVE TO nEAKB TT UP. Pick out the folks you lalze the lsaa and watch 'eTu for while; They never waste g kindly word, they never waste anni1ei They crdtHciSe hetr 9el1Owmen at aYerN chance they get;
 their fancy yet From them guess you'd learn soma things. If they were pofnted out should know a lot about. When someone knocks a brother, pass around the lowing cup Say something good about him, if you have to make 1t up.
 made holds trace of good, That he would fadn exhibit to his fel- lows if he could; The kindly deeds in many a so1Il ara hibernatdng there, Awaiting the encouragement of other souls that dare To show the best that's in them and a universal move Would start the whole world moving in a hopeful, helpful groove Say som methfng sweet to paralyze the
 kroclzer' on the spot Speak kindly to his victim if you know the man or not.
 the worst a brother holds; The tongue that speaks in bitterness that frets and fumes and scoIds. The hands that bruise the faIlen though their strength was made to raise The weddings who have stumbled at the parting of the ways All these should be forgiven, for they know not what they dlo;' Their htndrance makes a greater work for wiser ones like you; So, when they scourge a wretched one who's drained sins bitter cup Say some thing good about him. If you have to make 1t up."

Malcolm Duncan and Anna c. Nilsson ! In The Scarlet Road, Feature for Today.

A hangman's moose, dangling from ithe ceiling, met Harry Tremaine'S Igaze as he entered his fathers hunting Hodge in the wilds of Montana whith- Ter he had been directed by a letter
 from his father which accompanied by "a bequest of S2O0,0
 ! 'TWhen you have dissipated tlhs for tune, go to my hunting lodge in Mon tana, break down the cabin door and there you will find a solution of your trouble" Thus wrote the father, and
 his prophetic judgment proved accu- rate because the young chap did dis sipate quickly, in fast living, the for
 tune left to him. He then went to his
 fathers hunting lodge and found there
 awaiting him-a hangman's moose,
 dangling from the ceiling. Around
 this is woven an intensely interesting
 story told in the fve-part Kleine pho

TO BE FORGOTTEN.

We pass cen as friend and brother. As onward through life we go: But how can we know another When ours elves we do not know? We love while we still are strangers; We hate and we knOw not why; We warn another Of dangers, But see not our own close by. And cen if so warped with unreaaon. Whether famed for wealth, virtue or
 vice,
 Forgot we may be in one season. Die, not only once, but twice.

Burnt offerings of drugs and aromatic plants are still made and small images are buried in the fields for the benefit of the crops and the herds. Such are the stone carvings, called mulIo or piedras de Charasani, that are still sold in the native market of La Paz, Bolivia.

The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-01-11
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR
IDAHO SEED GROWERS

Conditions were never more favor
able for seed growing in Idaho than
during the coming year. This is due
to existing conditions in Europe which
have practically destroyed the seed
trade with the continent.
The magnitude of this business has
not been realized by the people of this
country, not even by the people en-
gagged in the seed trade themselves.
The value of seed imported into this
country represents many millions of
dollars. During the year 1912-1913
the United States imported from
France and Germany, over $12,U00,000
worth of alfalfa and clover seed. The
value of other seeds, as grass, garden
and flower seeds, exceeds the above
amount.
Some varieties of seeds have ceased
to be listed by the wholesalers, while
others have doubled in price. The
same complaint of scarcity and high
prices is heard from Canada and South
America. The problem is before the
country to grow their own seed and
establish the seed growing industry in
America. Canada is alive to the situa-
ton and is offering financial aid and a
bounty to seed growers to help estab-
lish the industry in the Dominion.
1t has already been demonstrated
that successful seed growing can be
carried on in Idaho. 1t is possible
to establish the industry on a still
larger scale Seed growing is one of
the most profitable forms of agricul-
ture. The returns per acre from some
crops of seeds are almost unbeliev-
able.
Idaho growers should become fully
awakened to the situation and make
strenuous effort during the next two
years to extend and establish the in
dustry, thus insuring larger addition
al incomes for the farmers of the
state.
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1916-01-11

welcome development. Consumers are
covered months ahead, and dispo-
sition is shown to make reservations
for the last half of 1916, but most
producing interests are not inclined
to name prices for such an extended
period. Unlike the last half of 1914,
the year just ended was notable for
constructive developments in Ameri-
can finance. After meeting and sur
mounting many trying situations, this
country has established itself upon a
more solid foundation than ever be-
fore and today holds the position Of
leadership in the money markets of the
world.
Not a week passes without either
the resumption of deferred payments,
or the declaration of increased and
extra disbursements, and railway and
industrial corporations will distribute
over $250,0O0,000 to shareholders this
month.
