Longfellow-
"The heights by great men reached
and kept,
We're not attained by sudden
fight,
But they, while their companions
! slept,
Were toiling upward in the
night"
One who listens to an untruth and
makes no effort to defend ones
friends, is just as vile in the sight
of God, as he who starts false ru-
mors, for none who is innocent can
long be DETAINED, for fright is might
and will prevail" said Lincoln: and
Elbert Hubbard so splendidly declar-
ed, ut matters not what people say

The hem of your own garment
must first be clean before you wind
it about yourself for fear of the taint
of others.
When you hear the unkind, un-
truthful thing said of another, "Do
unto others as We would that they
should do unto you," and tell what
good you know of them, for twas the
Christ who said, Gas ye did it unto
the least of these, ye did it unto
met"
There are some among us who
know what Christ suffered as He
bore the cross to Calvary, and some
whose heart bleeds and whose faith
In humanity for a time has been
shattered. Look out on the stony
path, as the thorns pierce their in
nocent brow and say, with Him,
Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do!'
Our dreams, our ambitions, our
hopes for the future should be
thought out along uplifting lines:
helpfulness, steadfast friendship,
eternal love, our motto in truth.
In the face of malicious criticism;
In the face of what seems to be de-
feat, raise your eyes to the light.
Know that God watches; His divine
love Is the same yesterday, now and
forever. and He will make all things

mains fixed and certain and can not
be otherwise, for doing right and

In going to or returning from the

to ShOshOne falls, the Twin falls and
Wood river sections to Boise, the
capital of Idaho, and "the biggest

around the circle In the region which
has made the name of Idaho appear
synonymous with wonderful noun
tain scenery, and fishing and hunt
ing grounds of the soul-satisfying
variety.
Roads leading west from Black
foot and Idaho Falls also pass thru
fine fishing and hunting sections into
the main highway west as well as
into the Salmon river and Birch

absorbed in the new crop. Do not
plant the same ground year after
year in succession nor plant your own
seed right along. Planting the same
ground with your own seed for sew
eral years has the same effect on po-
tatoes as inbreeding among stock,
and IL persisted in. will ruin both the
quality and quantity Of the crop.
Digging and storing potatoes Is an
| other important part OF the work
that is too often done in careless
and slovenly manner. They are torn
with the plow or potato digger, chip
ped with the shovel or hoe, speared
with a fork, punched with harrow,
dumped around In sacks to be bruis-
ed and blackened, with the damaged
and sunburned ones all thrown In,
besides most Of the big ones being
hollow and all with eyes quarter
of an inch deep. Add to that three
or four varieties in sack, no two Of
which will cook in the same time,
and you have fair description Of
80 per cent of the potatoes brought
to market. This is not creditable to
the business methods of SO many p0-
tato farmers. If the average potato
.rower could put himself in the place
Of so many city consumers, and be
only able to buy two bits worth at
time, so that the loss would be
brought home to him, he would prob
ably say things would not like to
write about the one that raised them.
The whole system, or rather the en-
tire lack Of system, Is an imposition
on the city consumer.
Now we come to the shipping part
of the business. Apples, cabbage,
celery, eggplant and other truck are
being shipped In boxes or crates. Why
can't potatoes be shipped and hand
led In the same way? Bruised pota-
toes do not show the damage as soon
as apples, but the damage is there,
and later the consumer bears the loss.
A 100-pound sack of potatoes can not
be lifted without pinching the con-
tents in the middle Of the sack; then
consider how often they are handled,
from the field to the cellar, then to
the wagon, jolted over the roads to
some warehouse or freight train,
back again to storage, then-but why
try to follow them? A box or crate
holding say so pounds would be
much more convenient to handle, and
If filled in the held with properly
sorted stock, as they should be, the
would stand some chance
Of getting square deal. Sacks are
also an unsanitary, dirty mess to
handle and should be prohibited by
ict Of congress. They carry diseases

patch that he never dreamed of. How
IAN it be otherwise? They are picked
Up by junk dealers and others in the
titles, from back yards of houses that
nay have such diseases as small pox,
etc., the germs of which
will live for years. Others are TAX
m from stables infected with the
worst diseases of horses, cattle, sheep

hipped 1000 miles to be seeded with

Leaving Salt Lake and Ogden the
highway passes thru the rich fruit
district of northern Utah, thru Brig

thence into Idaho and the Malad val
ley, or by way of the Bear valley,
to Pocatello, Fort Hall and Black

up the Snake river valley following
the old trail of Captain Bonneville,
and passing thru the intensely cul-
tivated grain and seed raising
country.

THE DREAMS OF YESTERDAY

1 Delivered by Minnie Priest Dunto
at evening session Of Rebekah Dis
trict association held in Odd Fellow
temple, March 28, 1916.
It has been truthfully said:
"Just where the road is roughtest,
We find q helping hand;
Just where the burdens hardest,
| III Kind friends beside US stand;
Just when the hours are dreary,
A song OF joy rings thru;
Just when the days are darkest,
The sunlight filters thru"
Drummond said, "You will find al
you look back upon your life that thu
moments that stand out above every
thing else, are the moments wher
you have done things in a spirit oi
love- and as we look back on the
yesterdays. we recall the dreams oi
the past that filled mind, heart and
soul, and our thoughts turn to the
ideals, kept ever in mind, Of the
heights yet unattained.
The founders of Odd Fellowship
and the Rebekah degree held up in
the ideal friendship, love and truth ;
friendship, as Thoreau said, that
makes a man honest, makes him a
hero, that makes him a saint; the
just dealing with the just; the mag
unanimous with the magnanimous;
the sincere with the sincere; man
with man."
Truth, that Milton declares "as inn
possible to be soiled by any outward
touch, as the sunbeam" Love, the
crowning grace of humanity the holi-
est right of the soul, the golden link
which binds duty to truth, the re-
deeming principle that chiefly recon-
Giles the heart to life, and is pro-
phetic of eternal good.
These ideals, kept ever in mind,
mould and fashion our character
anew, the result Of the cultivation of
the highest and noblest qualities in
human nature and putting these
qualities to practical use. But when
the idealist is dreaming of these holy
Of holies in our order, is putting in
to practice the nobler qualities of
the human heart, she forgets that
The monsters of envy, greed, discord,
strife, hide in the highways and by
ways ready to snatch from the brow
The laurel wreath; to crush the life
from their fellows; to tear down
characters that took lifetime tol
build up.
There is nothing so loathsome in
he whole list of loathsome creations
Is the character assassin, degraded,
nhuman, soul, stained and black
learted; they hide behind "They
ay!" to tear down humanity; their
'wn life has been so degrading that
very act of others is misrepresented
md misinterpreted. If one is sue
essful, under their breath, they tell
ome other gossiper some untruth,
riticise ones actions, condemn ones

that never occurred) to make the
tory racy; take up the telephone,
pread false rumors, tell false tales
nd then while resting, think up
ONE other tale to tell another of
heir kind.

gossiper, is liar, consciously or
nconsciously." These vultures in

Sir Douglas Mawson

In securing the marvellous motion
pictures that will be shown at chau-
tauqua, Sir Douglas Mawson, the
young Australian scientist, fought
enemies as dangerous as the machine
guns-or even dunn dunn bullets. In
the antarctic he waged a war as
dangerous as the war being fought
on European battle fields today.
He went thru all of the Affections
of an antarctic expedition and after
~ months returned to civilization
with a wonderful story and set Of
motion pictures the greatest ever
made and by far the most expensive.
In these pictures may be seen the
animal and bird life of the antarctic,
the titanic floating icebergs. the gla-
ciers and crevasses, the ice caves and
many other unusual phenomena.
Sylvester A. Long
One of the foremost figures to
command public recognition Of the
chautauqua platform as the peoples
forum, is Sylvester A. Long-noted
scholar, author, orator and educator.
He Is president of the International
Lyceum association, of which great
body he is chief support and orna-
ment. Mr.. Long has done much to
Impress upon the public mind, the
Importance of candid discussion of
the problems which confront us at
The present time. He will deliver at
The chautauqua his most famous lee
;ure, excerpts from which have been
widely quoted in the press and lead
ng periodicals of the country. I'll

pivotal significance of the contempor-
Try whirl of events. This speech is |
gem of analysis which takes into
Iccount the maelstrom of the ma
ions, at the same time pointing out
he counter forces at work. He
ounds the note of the universal
lunger for practical and workable
dealism and shows whereby this
cry sincerity of desire is slowly but
urely moulding events to this end.
