BURKE GOT JUDGMENT

A jury in the justice court of w. J.
Smith in this city Friday gave judg-
ment of $167.50 in a case in which
John M Burke sued John Warren
White for $3.50 alleged to be due for
overtime. Aside from numerous de-
tails and certain questions of recol-
lection, the main issue was with ref
erence to the terms of the contract
under which Burke was working on
Whites paper, the Bull Pioneer. White
introduced a telegram from Burke for
the purpose of attempting to prove
that the latter agreed to do all the
work in the Office for $25 a week.
Burke claimed that he was to work
eight hours day at the rate named
and that it was understood he was to
get union rates of time and a half for
overtime, and that the telegram was
based on misconception of the amount
of work to be done and did not bind
him to do an unusual amount of work
for wages which was somewhat below
the union scale The issue of mathe-
mates arose over the amount of over
time that he would have coming under
his understanding of the agreement,
or whether he actually worked full
time.
The jury took a neutral view to the
apparent dissatisfaction of both par
ties

THE TWIN FALLS Commercial
Club in living up to its duties
and opportunities, frequently tries
to bring the business men of
the community - which, of course,
includes the farmers and ranch
men into touch with currents
of thought and action in the
great outside world. A very success
full attempt of this character found
fruition last Thursday evening, when
a well advertised talk was given by
Mr.. A. J. Glover, associate editor of
Hoard's Dairyman, a widely known
periodical published at FIT Atkinson,
Wisconsin. Happily introduced by Mr..
Van Tassell, of the Sterling Creamery
company, Mr.. Glover said. in part:
"Have seen a part of your great
country. 1t is a fine thing that almost
every community has something of
which to be proud, since local pride
stimulates both enthusiasm and eff
fort. But L do not think 1 have ever
visited any place so full of promise
and hope as l am finding in this vi
entity. l can not yet see how it has
been possible to develop this country
as / now see it in the time occupied
Any country that can grow alfalfa as
/ see here, need have no fear 1t has
been said that water and good society
are all that are needed anywhere, in
Guiding Texas and hell; but you have
already achieved both.
Here the speaker referred to having
seen Mr.. Bradley's views and heard his
praise of this section before coming
here, and it really seemed so extrava-
CANT as to remind him of the quartette
of farmers who were travelling togeth-
er in the Pullman: Talking about

from Texas, 1--WE have cucumber,

And even that amt much" said the
man from southern Illinois, corn

my kid tried to climb a stalk, it took
him up so fast he was afraid to let

but when he began throwing down
cobs, with the corn gnawed off, we
knew he was alright" The man from
Kentucky scratched his head a little
but finally said, "let me tell you some
thing my wife hung two towels, made
from Kentucky hemp, out to dry; but
they at once began to grow and for two
weeks she cut an extra towel off each
of them every day" At this juncrure
stranger across the aisle said, "1ook

years have Slapped the productive life
of the soil-where with little or no
stock and no systematic rotation of
crops, the farmers are all poor-land
impoverished, as this land will be, rich
as it is, without care. The chemical
action of legumes upon the soil was
explained and the necessity of live
stock to go with them.
This brought us to the speakers
particular hobby-the dairy COW. "Just
think" he said, "of the productiveness
wrapped in the hide of a 1300-pound
COW, who in one year furnishes 1000
pounds of butterl 1t is worth while to
breed such a COW as that To excel
brings enthusiasm and success is in
itself the greatest pleasure in life. 1t
is, then, that land must be stocked
and here is the chance for the business
men and bankers. No dollar, loaned
with ordinary judgment on dairy stock
was ever lost; but time must be con-
sidered. A fairly good COW will pay
for herself in a year, but the owner
must live meanwhile. Denmark, Bor-
thern Wisconsin and parts of Mime
sofa were cited in detail as showing
the redemption of poor or worked out
land by dairy farming Land in Wis
cOnsin worth $40 to SIS in 1872 is now
worth SIS to 5000; and the dairy pro-
ducts valued in the year first named
at one million dollars have now risen
to over one hundred millionsl In my
county, at the present time, thirty-six
thousand people own forty-one thous-
and dairy COWS.
''The dairy COW is without doubt, the
most economical producer of wealth
in the world. She is also the foster
mother of more than half the whole
human race. With the advent of the
dairy COW and the abandonment of
single crop farming, any country will
prosper and improve. Cities and towns
are only prosperous when the contigu-
Gus territory prospers and the situation
demands that business men faDil-
1arize themselves with country condi-
tions and necessities and use every
endeavor to meet the one and improve
the other"
Generous applause greeted Mr. Glov-
er's conclusion, after which Mr. ]. M.

mercial club, was introduced Mr.
