A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with US are kept in such
condition to furnish efficient service Where the
of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
ALI lines require thorough overeauIing occa-
sionally if the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with ia be
overhauled at least year. and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small, and this cost will be more than offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service. we
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dtion of your line.

DEFEATING THE BOIL wEEvIL


of the cotton in Northern Mississippi
south of the Frisco railroad. It is
prevalent in Arkansas, south Of the
line drawn from Fort Smith to Helena
This insect has never left permanent
ly a district once infested. It will
probably move northward until inl fa-
vorable seasons it covers all cotton
growing territory. The boil weevil is
here to stay as long as cotton is grown.
Should next winter be warm and
next July wet it is likely that the boil
weevil will be terribly destructive
throughout West Tennessee and all
cotton growing sections of Arkansas,
as well as in the territory soath.
Should next winter be severe with a
temperature of 10 to Is degrees above
zero for a considerable time, and next
July dry, it is probably that TenAes-
see and Arkansas will have slight in
festation of boil weevil in 1917. 1t is
likely that serious infection win come
in waves; periods of extreme loss be-
ing followed by periods of little dam
age and these again being followed by
periods of heavy loss. u
No. Cause for Panic-Under proper
farming methods as much cotton can
be raised with the boil weevil as has
been produced under old methods at
any time before it came. In large dis
tricts where the boil weevil almost
wiped out cotton ten or twelve years
ago, and where the pest has been per
sistent since, more cotton is being rails
ed now than in the best years before
the boil weevil came. 1t is up to the
farmers and business men to rear
range their methods so that they can
grow good yields of cotton with the
boil weevil =
In the infected districts all cotlSh
stalks should be destroyed while they
are green and before killing frost
To be effective this must be done
over large areas. The earlier this is
done the more weevils will be destroy
ed, and one weeyil killed in the fall
may result in thousands less the fol
lowing summer. In Texas and Louis
lana where all cotton stalks were Dc
stroyed by October Is, only Il weeYils
out Of 1000 lived through the winter.
When all stalks were destroyed Ode
Der 81, 68 weevils out Of each lido
survived the winter.
The stalks may be cut with a NOR
and cured for hay like pea vines|and
fed to the mules, horses and 60
The stalks may be cut with

Varieties Of Cotton That Fruit Ear
y must be planted in districts infect
ID by boil weevil. The weeyil in this
erritory does not do serious damage
intil August and varieties that fruit
leavily in July will yield well. Prof.

,erimert Station recommends Wanna

WHAT DO YOU OWE
TO YOUR COMMUNITY?

IA ~ lOO Wv n
TO YOUR COMMUNITY?
Friend, stop and think what you owe
to your community. But first stop and
think what your community has done
fro you.
How many men in your community
have accumulated what they have out
side of that community? Very few,
you will admit
Now, how was it possible for you to
accumulate property? was it purely
by your own exertions, or did business
conditions contribute largely to the
result? If you are farmer, and were
your farm hundred miles from civil
ization, what would it profit you? How
much wealth could you amass?
No, friend, your holdings are not
solely the result of your own energy.
The entire population of your commu-
nifty has contributed to your upbuilding
What though you are the most cap
able lawyer or doctor, if you are locat-
ed in a sparsely settled country where
there is little demand for your servi-
ces, what does your capability profit
you?
What of the expert builder if there
are no houses to build? What of the
engineers, if the nearest approach to
a locomotive were the old ox-wagon Of
our grandfathers
So you see that wealth is very large
" matter of environment. Without
a populous community all men are at
a disadvantage in its accumulation,
and as the community grows in popu-
lation the opportunities for accmu-
lating wealth increase.
This is by way of reminding you
that however "self-made" you may
boast yourself, you are in reality com
nunity made" and you owe a debt to
your community. And the size Of that
debt is in exact proportion to the
amount of your holdings in the COM
munity,
Now, if you owe this debt-and we
do not think you win dispute it--isnt
it up to you to discharge it when called
upon to do so?

funds were nos az a5.a pig aa
contribute? A school house was to
be repaired and the grounds beautj-
fed. How much did you help? Your
church was old and out of date, and
the membership wanted to rebuild.
Did you chip in?
In short, you are paying your debt
to the world and to your community
in the only logical way-assisting to
the extent Of your ability to make it
better community for your children
and your children's children to live in.
Now, you will admit that you owe
your parents debt you can never re-
pay-to them The only way you can
possibly pay is to pass it to another
generation. That is natures eternal
plan.
Just so you can pass on to the COM
munity of the future what the com
munity Of the past has done for you.

BROUGHT BACK FAVORABLE RE.
PUBLICAN NEWS

Republican State Chairman Evan
Evans arrived in Spokane last Sun
day morning from Chicago where he
spent some ten days in consultation
with the leaders at western Republic
an headquarters. Mr.. Evans arrived
just in time to join in the hearty vel
come to Mr.. Fairbanks, the vice presi
Dental candidate, which was given at
the Inland Empire metropolis. The
welcome was real ovation: and Mr..
Fairbanks responded with a speech to
the returning soldier boys and school
children In the day time and a ring
ing political speech to a packed house
III the evening at the armory. The ad-
dresses were both highly commended
and won many voters to the Republican
cause.
The word brought back by Mr.. Evans
Is of the most encouraging kind and
should give new life and activity to
his co-workers throughout the entire
state; causing them to put forth every
effort to make the majority in Idaho
this fall so overwhelming that no Dem
ocratic prognostigator will ever again
have the temerity to place it in the
doubtful column. Mr.. Evans is direct
ing the campaign in the north part of
the state, while vice chairman, Shad
Hodgins of Boise, is leading a vigor-
GUS and effective campaign in the south
There is no doubt in the mind of any
sane person how Idaho win 90 this
fall; 1t is only matter of the size of
the Republican majority.

BADGERS QUIT
WILSONFOR
HUGHES
Were Delegates to Baltimore
Convention and Boosters
For President Wilson.

New York. Oct. 9-Two Milwaukee
Democrats who were delegates to the
Baltimore convention in 1912 and who
were among the first to vote for the
nomination of Mr.. Wilson have declar-
ed for Governor Hughes, it was an
nounced today at the headquarters of
the National Hughes Alliance. The
men are A. Il. Dick and Max Hottelet
Both have been enrolled in the Demo
cratic committee of the Hughes AL
lance.
Mr.. Dick says in his letter of the al
lance:
Though a Democrat, | am support
ing the candidacy of Charles t..
Hughes because | am convinced that
the moral welfare as well as the ma
terial interests of the nation require
that its affairs be now placed in charge
of an administration that can be ex-
pected to restore this country to its
proper place in the respect of the world,
that there shall be placed at it's head
n man alive to the true spirit of Amer
lea, American independence, justice and
fair play, one whose influence will be
directed to strengthen and not to weak
en-, the moral fiber of the nation"
Mr.. Hottelet said:
''Since 1884 | have voted without eX-
ception for every candidate nominated
by the Democratic party, but | cannot
support Mr.. Wilson for reelection be-
cause ! do not approve either his do
mestic or his foreign policy. / think
the so-caled eight-hour law was passed
hastily, without proper investigation
1t does not provide that eight hours
should constitute a days work and
gives no attention at all to the great
mass of working men.
AN expedition was sent to Vera
Cruz by President Wilson to compel
Mexico to salute the flag. Shots were
exchanged and the American navy
! withdrawn and the American flag has
not been saluted yet. President Wilson
modified the regular army as well as
the militia to catch Villa dead or alive
The troops have been withdrawn anC
Villa is still alive. l think this is
policy unbecoming to the United State:
of America. | think the president /.
changing his mind so rapidly that it /!
/ impossible for anyone to follow him
Therefore l must decline to supper
him."

STILL RUMORS OF THE SOLDIER
BOYS RETURN.

There are still floating rumors pass
ing over the "grape-vinewire" that
the Idaho soldier boys now at Nogales,
will likely start for home sometime
the latter part of this month. One or
two letters have been received, it is said
fixing the date on the 10th and the
25th, while other letters received state
that there is really little to indicate
that they will get home before the
first of the year. Practically al VI the
first militiamen to go to the Border
at Nogales have been returned home
with the exception of the Second Idaho,
which, it is claimed has been held as
"the model regiment" for the new
comers who have taken the place of re-
turned men, to shape their course by.
The boys write home that they re-
ceived the cookie" shipment of recent
date made by the mothers of this com
munity, and that they all ''feasted"

road In other states can be construct
ed although these other states are
now busy in all plans relating to the
work.
The development again brings to
forcible attention the Importance of
the north and south highway, indie
pendent of its direct influence in
opening state resources. 1t is now
noted that the highway will be a link
in the national system for interna-
tional travel between Mexico and
Canada, while it also becomes an i'm
pertant unit in the eastern and west
ern national highway routes. Esti-
mate is made that during the sum-
mer just passed, no less than five
hundred tourists cars from the east
were routed through Oregon after
reaching southern Idaho due to the
fact that no route was open to this
section Of the state. After travers-
ing great stretches of the plains sec
tion of the west, the traveller would
eagerly welcome the change through
the Idaho mountains to the north,
but the absence of an attractive high
way forbids. The north and south
road now being constructed will re-
move this barrier, and conditions
would indicate that the road is des-
tined to accommodate when complet-
ed thousands of tourists every year.

ADAMSON LAW
SEVEREJOLT
OFARMER
Association of Farmers Union
Presidents Assails Bill
Demands Repeal.

Fort Worth, Texas.-H. N. Pope,
president of the Association of Farm
ers' Union Presidents, has issued a
statement asking the farmers to urge
their congressman to repeal the Ad-
amson law at the next session of con-
gress Mr.. Pope has also issued a
pamphlet analyzing the effect of this
law upon agricultural interests. Mr..
Pope denounces the law as offend
ing the covenant which our govern
ment made the people to give equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none. His statement says in part:
1.-The defenders of the Adafnson law
have had much to say about emanci-
pating labor but how about enslay-
ing the farmer. If giving to trainmen
is virtue, is not taking from the
farmers a crime? Has congress the
power to increase the expenses of in
dustry many millions of dollars with
out someone paying the bill? If so the
congress should Immediately assemble
and legislate all the people into idle
ness and wealth. This law is unsound
in principle and unjust in application.
IF we are to extend this character
of benevolent legislation to all rail
road employees as well as to the en-
ployed of all other lines of industry, 1t
will take the American wheat crop to
finance the Adamson law. This is an
annual contribution which the farm
ers of the nation are not financially
able to make and the only way to
prevent it is to persuade our congress
men, no matter of what political faith
to take this law off the statute book
1.-The question is not whether this or
that political party should rule, but
whether congress has power to take
the oat crop from the American farm
ers and give it to the trainmen
Whether our government has author
fty to force one class of citizens to
turn over property to any other class
without compensation? If this char
acter of legislation is permitted to in
habit our statute books then property
has no rights that congress is bound to
resDect"

ID. w. DAVIS A SURE WINNER.

IL. w. Davis, the RepuDlican cand1-
date for governor, is making one of
the most effective, yote-winning cam
paigns ever carried on in the state.
He is covering the north in detail,
making from three to half a dozen
speeches daily to packed and over
flowing houses. At Standpoint the hall
would not hold the crowds that came
out to hear him, and many went away
unable to get inside the building, and
at Occur d'Alene, where the writer
heard him, the house was full. This
is remarkable, considering the diff
Guilty to get crowd to hear speaking,
which is usually experienced.
Mr.. Davis, who is not politician,
and who until this campaign begun has
had little experience as a public speak
er Is developing into an entertaining,
logical and convincing speaker. There
Is directness and manifest fairness
in his manner of presenting matters
that pleases, and wins the sympathy
and approval of his hearers. Mr.. Day
is is now travelling with H. +. Samuels,
formerly of Grangeville, in the latters
auto, and Mr.. Samuels is acting in the
capacity of speaking companion to the
next governor. Mr.. Davis will speak
in Grangeyille next Wednesday the
18th, at the l. O. O. f. opera house.
on the same date with Senator Borah.

DIR. Perkins, president of the North
and South Highway association. Ida
no county will have good representa-
tion in attendance, number of prom
inent Grangeville citizens, having left
this morning for the scene of activity.
The construction of the north and south
highway means much to the whole
state, and no portion of the state is
more directly interested in this thor
oughfare than is Idaho county This
road now promises to become far great
er than even a state proposition, "
from the published statements regard
ing the action of the National High
way association which is being sent
out by President Perkins for circula-
tion. This states that the north and
south road in Idaho is to become por-
tion of the great national highway to
extend from Nogales, AriZ., where the
Idaho troops are now stationed, north
to Idaho and down the Salmon river
over the line now under discussion
and ON up to the Canadian boundary
The article follows:
The Christian Science Daily Moni-
tor, published at Boston, Mass, an
nounces that the National Highways
association has approved the route OF
highway from Nogales, Ariz., on
the Mexican border, to the Canadian
line near Marcus, the north and south
Idaho highway being a link in the
system which will be known as the
Sunshine Way. The Boston publica
tion publishes a map or the route
which extends in an almost direct
northerly route the entire distance
The points directly served are showI
to be as follows:

VIM. Montgomery, the Wisdom,
Mont, cattleman, is now receiving and
weighing at this place 1000 head of cat
tie purchased from the stock raisers of
Idaho county. These cattle will be
shipped to Mr.. Montgomery's place
In the neighboring state and there
finished up and shipped on to the east
ern market. Last season Mr.. Mont
gomery bought and shipped out IL car
loads from this county; this year he
will ship out twice that many. The
cattle come mostly from the famous
Salmon river stock country, one of the
best cattle raising sections in the west,
a number of them having been pur-
chased from the leading cattlemen of
that section.
Seth ID. Jones furnished 200 head of
cattle which probably broke all records
for weight and quality on that large
bunch of beefers. The 200 averaged
1856.
Frank q. Wyatt, one of the Oldest
cattle raisers in the Whitebird country
supplied 450.
Fred Hunt, of the prairie country
sold 100 head and Billie Brockman,
near Grangeville, furnished 10 head.
The remainder We're purchased in small
lunches from Revillo Johnston, of Lu-
cile and Messrs. Smith, Stewart, and
others of the Salmon valley.
Add the $4,000 receipts from this
big shipment to the 100000 shipment of
last week, the $4,000 bunch of the
week before, the Miller drive of 900
head which will soon be made to the
Colfax country, and the regular week
shipments of smaller proportions
which have been going on right along
throughout the entire season, and you

The article in the Monitor accom-

route will take the traveller in close
proximity to the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado, to the great Salt Lake, to
the Shoshone Falls and then through
the interesting north Idaho region
with its lakes and rivers and noun
tains and garden spots. The route is
classed as one of the most attractive
of the entire system of national high
ways and will exert material devel-
opment influence on great stretches
of the country traversed.
In adopting this Sunshine Highway
as part of the national system, the
National Highways association will
urge its construction by the federal
government in sections where sparse
settlement would deny local interests
meeting the expense. Toward this
end the National Highways associas
ton is now urging that this highway
be given precedence in the matter of
the disbursement of the present federal
funds appropriated by the last con-
gress for good roads construction in
association with the states and COM
munities.
As the Idaho state highway com
mission has already endorsed the
north and south road as the highway
10 be given precedence in road building
under the federal cooperation plan,
1T can be seen that this link in the
Sunshine Highway is to be a reality
probably before large stretches of the
