Appeal Is Filed in the
Hope of Saving the Life
of Sir Roger Easement

London, June 3O-The appeal filed
in the case of Sir Roger Easement al.
leges three reasons for setting aside
the verdict of guilty of high treason
found against him, under which he
was sentenced odeath. as follows:
First. No crime had been commit
ted under the statute of Edward I'LL,
by which Sir Roger was tried, be
cause no such crime as treason with
out the realm" was indicated in the
statute.
Second. That the lord chief JUS

It seems likely that the three high

half the state has been heard from.

and the Italians continue to advance
against the Austrians in the Trentino
regions.
The struggle for the possession of
the Thiaumont woods, taken by the
crown princes forces from the French

the position changing hands several
times.
Violent bombardments mark the
fighting on the fronts around Verdun,
particularly on Hill No. 3O4.
British Destroying Trenches.
The British are keeping up their
tactics of destroying by artillery fire
German first and second line trenches
from Ypres to the Somme. Unofficial

expending more than a million shells
a day in this work.
In addition to the capture of Kolo-

the town of Obertino, northeast Of
Kolomea, and several other villages
north and south Of that point. On
the front in Russia from the Galician
border to the region Of Riga there
have been battles at various points.

statement over the long distance tele
phone from his home at Hoople:
II want to express my apprecia
tion of the loyalty of the farmers OF

the vote in the primary election. The
rural vote shows beyond question
that the farmers of the state are deep

II feel grateful also for the support
of the Workingmen and others in the
cities, who helped materially by their
votes to bring about this splendid re-
suit that has been achieved.

the will of the Republican voters OF
North Dakota and we who have been
nominated by the rank and file of the
party owe no duty to any but the
common citizens of the state.

A WEALTH OF GERMAN SHIPS
IN AMERICAN PORTS

1t may be that our holding "a
German and Austrian ships informed
within our ports is somewhat of a
protection to our neutrality. The
Germans have felt the loss of ships
recently seized in Portuguese and
Brazilian waters, and naturally they
would not regard lightly the further
loss of 100000, 900 worth of host
age shipping now held by us, which
would be taken over If we should
be forced into the war by Germany.
But on the whole the German press
wants peace with the United States,
and perhaps it is priggish to talk of
forcing them to be good to US.
A few days ago Unionist member
of the British parliament suggested
that Great Britain force all neutrals
to use what German vessels are in
termed in their ports, because the
British merchant marine has been
crippled. But it is not very likely
we shall be either forced into the
war, or forced to use interned YES
sells against the principles of inter
national law.

PROVED 1T FOR US

Our contention for long time past
that the council should make survey
of the city for drainage and then act
upon 1t, has come to the attention
of the city at this time in the form
of dollars and cents. When the bids
were opened for street paving Mon
day evening, the bids showed in de-
tail what it will cost to pave the 20
blocks, and just what the expense is
for. The item for excavation or cut
ting down the street surface to get 1t
to the right level for paving was en-
tered in amounts ranging from So,
780 to $3.50. An average of all the
bids on this item is about $1,000 or
$3.50 a block. If the advice of Mar
Gus Blenkle had been acted upon
when he was member of the council
and pressed the matter upon their
attention six and seven years ago, that
they adopt a grade line for each street
and fill to that and be at all times
ready to lay paving on top OF 1t and
finally have paved city without the
loss of unnecessary filling and exca-
waiting, it would have saved the city
$4,000 for expense of filling, and IS,
600 for the expense or taxing out
this superfuous material.
If the council had any intentions
of working to plan that would save
this waste, they must have yielded to
the demands of the auto drivers to
fill everything up level with the street
crossings so they could have a level
shoot, for it has to be cut down now
to place the paving where the dirt is.
The council is still filling in streets
with earth and the prospects are that
it will do more of it than ever this
summer. They might save future
losses by adopting a grade line now
on the streets that are about to be
filled and which it is hoped will be
paved later. Saving 500 block on
filling and $3.50 block on taking it
out again is a problem worthy of the
serious attention of the honorable
council.

BEE HIVE GIRLS HIKE
TO THE HILLS in SWARM

Last Saturday was joyous day
for the Edaha Bee Hive girls. The
swarm gathered at the home of the
bee keeper, Mrs. James Duckworth,
at $50. From this home they liked
to the dam on the Blackfoot river
where camp fire breakfast consist
ing of eggs, ETC., was thoroly enjoyed.
After breakfast this happy buzzing
swarm wendell their way to Stevens
peak led by Lille Jordan, christensed
by the swarm, Daughter of the
Hills" because of her great love for
the hills and nature. After de-
lightful climb over hills and thru
dales which were covered with beau
peak was reached by all the swarm
and the assistant bee keeper, Bessie
Lukfin.
The senior bee keeper, being Of a
rather corpulent build, preferred to
avoid the last steep climb so she re-

etc.
The bees buzzed around the peak
for some time and some carved their
names in the rocks after which the
descent of the peak was much more
rapid than the ascent had been.
When the foot of the hill was reached
typical camp fire. meal was par
taken of and in this lunch roast
"weenies' played prominent and
important part.
After enjoying to the limit the
beautiful hills and flowers and the
splendid views of our magnificent
valley the swarm wendell their way
homeward arriving in Blackfoot at
5 o'clock in the evening, somewhat
weary but none the less delighted
with their days outing.

FARMER LOST
HIS NERVE

Farmers, who are discouraged
should take fresh courage from the
example of a man in Alberta, who
gave up everything a year ago and
woke up in the fall with bunch of
money IN spite of himself. This is
the way the story runs:
He had a homestead and pre-
emption, the homestead being pat
ented and the other in process. The
homestead was exempt from attach
ment but he was in debt $4,000 at
the town of Medicine Hat where he
did his trading, and he still had to
pay $3.50 before he could secure title
to his pre-empted land. If he had
had. $3,480 he could have been out
of debt and had clear title to 800.
acres of land in a country where
crops sometime fail and sometimes
make profits. The local credit mems
association got after him for security
for all his debts and he gave them
a mortgage on what stuff he had and
on his homestead. Then he studied
it all over, concluded he hadn't much
chance to pay it of, and he threw up
the job and left the country.
When the creditors learned that
he had become panicky and left, they
decided to hire man to farm the
place, buy the seeds and pay all bills
and see what they could get out of
it to apply on the debt. They had
it sowed to fax, got bumper crop,
paid off the operating expenses first,
then paid the $4,000 due the asso-
cation for the original debt, and had
some money left for making final
proof on the presumption. Then they
began correspondence to find the
fellow so they could notify him of
their action in clearing off his mort
gage and placing some money to his
credit in the bank.
If he had remained and faced the
job in good faith as did his benefac-
tors, he could have pocketed all they
paid to the hired help, in addition
to what they put in the bank for
him. NO, that might not be right.
A fellow who would lose his nerve
and run away from his honest debts
and betray the men who trusted him,
would probably have fooled away his
time and failed to cut the flax till
half of it shattered and fell on the
ground. 1t was probably good thing
he left.
Wonder if we have any such fell
lows in Bingham county! If so his
creditors ought to get busy.

DAMAGE BY FROST

George H. Smith, the field super
intendent for the local sugar fac
tory, reports that the several freezes
of last week did considerable damage
to the beet crop and that three or
four hundred acres will be replanted.
A great deal more land will be a
poor stand, but seed is scarce and a
poor stand that is started early may
be as good as better stand planted
late, so they will make the best, of
the part that escaped the frost.
Inquiries among the fruit growers
in the vicinity of Blackfoot have
brought but little hopeful news. Some
say that apart Of the later apples,
which had not bloomed, are saved,
but that all plums and cherries are
damaged to the extent that there will
not be any commercial crop this year.
Over Boise way it is claimed that
half the crop will come to proper ma
turity. From the southern section of
the state nothing hopeful is reported.

no necessity for keeping a certain
animal it is sold.
Into the fields, too the cost system
is carried. The farm is divided into
tracts ranging from six to forty acres.
The production from each field is fig
ured, and if a loss is found in a GER
field, Mr.. Hall Is in position to as
certain the cause and find the remedy.
"Too much bookkeeping" the av-
erage farmer will say. 1t does re-
quire good deal Of additional work,
but it pays, Mr.. Hall finds.
Keep a boys mind engaged, and
you will have no difficulty in keeping
him on the farm" he says. "The
most interesting period of tn, days
work on my farm is when al night
we figure up the days work."
When Mr.. Hall bought his farm, it
had been titled for more than sixty
years, and his neighbors laughed
when he paid $40 an acre for it. But
they don't laugh now; any one of
them would gladly pay him 1875 an
acre for the place, and consider it a
good bargain: this in spite of the fact
that no considerable sum has been
spent in permanent improvements.
Mr.. Hall is book farmer Not
a dollars worth of grain is grown for
the market. Everything is put back
into the soil. BY carefully rotating
his crops Mr.. Hall has made his farm
the richest in the country. He fat
tens hogs and sheep on COW peas,
soy beans, alfalfa, rape corn and rye.
He has something for feed almost the
year round. One year when two
months passed without rains nearly
all the corn in that neighborhood was
ruined, the fields on Mr.. Hail farm
were green.
The government selected Mr.. Halls
farm as one of it's three experiment
stations in Missouri. He sends daily
reports to the government experts
located at Missouri Agricultural col
lege at Columbia Mo- He accepts the
suggestions of these experts and fol-
lows them implicitly. And he finds
that it pays.
About the house one can see evil
dences of an exceptional farm. Tie

Besides, the three sons

Farmer Hall is plain, ordinary

This made him all the more eager that
