THE DRUNINIERS
OBSERVE IT

Angus M. Lambert, who travels thru
this country for The Lambert Paper
company of Salt Lake City, was in
town Wednesday and said he consid-
cred that The Idaho Republican is
ON the right track in agitating for
increased crop yield and making bet
ter use of what is grown. He said
that of all the agricultural lands he
had ever seen there was no other
valley where there was so much alb
solute waste as in this valley from
Blackfoot to Rexburg. He deplored
the slatternly farming, the wide
stripes of waste land along the fences
and bitches and dykes producing
crops and vegetation enough to raise
many animals and yet going to waste
and worse. He spoke of the orchards
in their prime bearing beautiful fruit
but going to waste while the owners
buy canned goods and ship vinegar
from Pittsburg, paying freight across
a continent.
Mr.. Lambert says that taxes may
be reduced, people may combat the
high cost of living, but so long as
they are SO lavish in their waste
they have not properly met their re.
sponsibilities.

A QUESTION
FOR YOU

There is new question for you to
consider just now and the pure food
department of Idaho wants to know.
They are not offering you five dollars
Tor an opinion as we did in the
matter of buying the fair grounds,
1t is a more or less live question
anyway. Its application may not be
found in Blackfoot at the present
time, but it is in many other places.
The question is, Should the pure
food department prevent a consump-
tive from engaging actively in con-
Quoting bakery, candy store, a
grocery or any such business where
food is handled?"
tuberculosis can be traced by fol-
lowing the course of the disease
jerms. With every cough of the con-
sumptive, some of them are expelled
from the lungs and set to floating
in the air or find Judgment on some
object. If the person is handling
food for others to eat and is making
his living by that means, should he
be permitted to go on In the task or
does the state owe it to itself to
bar him from that pursuit and If
necessary pension him but keep him
where he will not give the disease
to others and start them on the road
to death.
Certainly there can be but one
answer when the fact of the disease
is established with the individual.
Many people have tuberculosis who
do not suspect it and it requires a
forward act on the part of some
body to decide who has it and who
has not. The health person is en-
titled to be allowed to remain
healthy, tho he may be required to
pay for the privilege by helping pay
the pension of the disabled one.

friends at Pocatello and Burley.
w. A. Edwards, of Springfield, was
a visitor the past week on business
bent. Nv
The belated members of the
Country Kid" company blew into
Sterling, Sunday evening. 1t seems
the delay in their return was caused
partly by one of the members trying
to secure position as counter jump
err at the Peterson store, which, of
course, took time, and the slow trip
across the sticky alluvial deposits of
the Snake river bottoms was made
slower by the Indifference of the
chauffer, who said they could go
home when they could go no place
else. They were also delayed by
several accidents. One of the estim-
able young ladies lost both mittens,
but she failed to say who she gave
them to. Eben lost George Wash
ington's whiskers, but Mickey" sup
piled this deficiency. They finally
ambled along and arrived at the
Hotel Sterling in a spasm of hilarity
and very cold, about 1880 p. m.

MIGHT BE DOING
1T NOW

In January tne merchant takes an
account of stock. In February he
could review his building from garnet
to basement in company with the hre
chief and couple of insurance
writers to see II everything was ar
ranged secure against fire. If any
repairs or re-arranging were needed
February and March would be a good
time to have it done wnen workmen
are net busy and can work inside as
well as they can when the rush OF
work demands them on the outside.
IRE city council seems to have en-
tirely abandoned the idea of having
an organized fire company, and as an
alternative for lack Of organization,
The Republican suggests that the nre
chief make up for it as much as he
can BY making an examination OF
each business house to learn the plan
az each building, 80 he will know bet
ter how to direct the unorganized

LAST SATURDAYS
DEMONSTRATION

The resurrection! There was are
minder of it at the High School audi
torium, Saturday evening. A thing
of wood and metal stood before the
audience and was unlocked with a
key and wound with crank. 1t was
silent until master hand placed a
disc In position and by a simple pres.
sure released its latent energies. TIC
go back a little with the story, q
young woman named Spencer once
lived and sang. She slept and rested
and sang again, and in the presence
of some mechanism. The mechanism
went thru transitions in machine
shops and was multiplied many times
and the parts scattered thruout the
world in commerce. Miss Spencer
took many journeys on trains and
steamers and Saturday night she
wood and metal, and when the
master hand released the spring.
there was a movement and the voice
of Miss Spencer, who sang into it
long ago, came forth precisely as it
went into the mechanism then. 1t
was her own voice and to prove 1t
she stood beside the thing and sang
again and the words blended and
we're one in tone and vibration.
When it came to duet she sans
the other part-sang duet with
herself She was herself and she
was the machine. At the same time
she was singing those same songs
in several thousand homes and
theatres in this and other lands. Her
voice came from each of those ma
chimes the same.
Many people have studied long and
hard about the resurrection. Some
have believed and some have doubt
ed. Some have sought to explain and
others simply believe and wait in
faith. The demonstration Saturday
evening reminds one of the omni-
presence of Miss Spencer on that
date, and it makes her, thru science,
akin in power to the Infinite, and it
reminds one that If the intangible
voice can be silenced and called into
action again in other times and
places at the will of the master, then
the resurrection as described and as
generally understood, seems to have
been brought long step nearer.

and when they were talking about
holding up the plans for street paw

with great caution. Mr.. Heimer-

SPIRIT OF
SPRINGFIELD

Our readers will note that in to-
days Springfield news are the indi-
cations of live community. A few
years ago some of them hauled all
their manure out to make roads thru
the sand or to mend mud holes in
the soft roads or the fills. Now they
are getting all they possibly can out
on the land and are studying how to
get it to the land with the least loss
by burning or seepage. Some OF
them are buying manure and just as
soon as they come to appreciate how
surely it turns into money within
the year they might even be forgiven
for stealing it.
Nursing the
Infant Lambs
We have seen stockmen view the
losses of their neighbors' stock with
that complacency arising from rival
ry. Down at Springfield they are
doing things differently. To keep
the lamblets from dying, they call
in the neighbors and actually have
"lambing bee,'' and the workers
nurse the little blatters on the shares.
If the mother ewes could compre-
bend the situation and could talk,
they would be boosting for Spring
field as long as they live and the
lamblets even to the third generation
of them that blat.
The Judges Hams
and Shoulders
The Springfield writer records that
Judge Cowen and his ranch manager
are doing good missionary work De
Urban. Here is the analysis of the
thing: Lo, pig is born. He is
cared for and brought up in the way
he should go, via alfalfa with bran
and shorts, some cooked potatoes and
sugar beets. He becomes a hog; he
wakes fat in the pen, which the judge
and boss giveth him. Two courses
appear: One leads to Omaha or the
coast, with high freight, long feed
bills and shrinkage attached;
slaughter follows. then dressing,
packing and shipment back to Spring
field to be sold over the counter
branded, "Swift & Company" The
other course leads straight to the
curing room on the farm, done in the
dull season. No freight, no feed
bills, no commissions, no shrinkage,
no packing charges, no more freight
and commissions; just sweet, rich,
home-cured meats and all the neigh
bors eager to buy it, the producer
pocketing everything and beating the
middlemen and the Short Line. That
ought to be glory enough for the
Judge and his manager and they
should be willing to sit on the bench
or carry feed to the pigs for all
time and never kick if they have an
off year.
