Vermont Infantry
Passes Thru City

The days of '9S were vividly recalled
today when crowds gathered at the
Chicago Great Western station to see
the First Vermont infantry, about 1000
strong, pass thru the city in six trains
on It's way to the Mexican oorder'
Twelve companies of the First regi-
ment, many of them boys who hao
never been outside of New England, oc-
cupied four trains. Two trains OF guns,
horses and equipment began to pass
thru here at 10 this forenoon. The lasl1
section was expected thru early TINS
afternoon. The men left their homes
Monday and Tuesday, and expected TO
arrive in Kansas City late tonight,
where they will remain over night, and
then proceed at once to the border.
ST this Is Iowa weather, we don't
like to think what it will be in Mexico.
remarked young private, as ne leaned
out Of the car window. 1--WE were
wearing overcoats at home last week.
The men said they had just been mus
tered in to the regular army late last
week. LAS soon as the war is over we
will 60 right back home and be ordi-
nary citizens, and don't you forget
that" called out one as the train started
to move.
Baggage cars on the trains had been
rugged up as kitchens, and the COOKS
waved greetings with potato Feelings TO
the crowds on the platform.
The Great Western Is handling the
men from Chicago to Kansas City. 1t
will also handle the troops of the Iowa
National Guard, when that organization
is ordered to the border, according to
District Passenger Agent George Brls-
tow, who was here today.

With local grocers starting potato
war, and establishing a price OF Sl,4o
per bushel, consumers of this staple
article of diet will benefit materially.
The potatoes are Of a fine quality, OK
lahoma Triumphs. a red variety that
Is nice and solid. They cost laid
down here s1.20, so the profit TO the
retailer at So cents per peck is not very
great.
The potato war easily proved the
feature of the weeks local vegetable
and fruit market.
Nice Late Berries.
With all early varieties of straw
berries about gone, and those from
northern states still to come, local con-
sumers are treated to late home
grown variety that is on the market.
They are coming in fast, and are OF
a very superior quality-in fact better
than most home grown berries Of the
earlier varieties. They are selling for
$3.50 per crate or from 10 to 12le cents
per box, according TO sorting and
quality.
Cherries Plentiful, Yet Scarce.
Altho the early cherries are plentl-
full, they are scarce in market, as they
are not coming in fast enough TO sup
ply the demand. Even tho the high
cost Of sugar is lessening the call for
fruits to can, there is greater de-
mand for the early cherries than deal
ers have been able TO supply during
the last few days. The price is from
81 to sl.l5 per twenty pound basket, OF
a half bushel.
Grape Outlook Good.
Altho there are no southern grapes
on the market as yet, predictions Of a
good crop are being made freely. Iowa
grapes promise to De a good crop, as
do also those grown in Michigan and
New York.
Peaches Also Promise Good.
There will also be plenty of peaches
according to local dealers, and Georgia
growers will begin to ship July .
Texas and southern Arkansas, where
the crops are also good, will begin
shipping to the northern markets about
! July 10.
Melons Of Good Quality.
Georgia and Texas watermelons, ant
muskmelons from the Imperial vale,
I Of California are on the market, AM
the latter are Of exceptional qualit,
| this season. Government inspection o
| shipments has resulted in a better ruI
| for eastern consumers. Muskmelon:
are selling from 10 to 121a cents each
Vegetable Market Quiet.
Because so many people raise few
vegetables. this market is quiet. althc
we'll supplied with all the seasonable
staples.

Lieut.. Duncan tells of the fighting at

'In shelter -" we took five
alive" he writes. "One Won Scotch
fought me with a bayonet taken off
his rife because there was no space
to use the weapon regular fashion.
He got me under the arm.

GOOD RECENT BOOKS

Maeterlinck's Life of the Bee," Is
not one of the latest, but it is one
of the best books of late years. With
out being scientific, it is full of natu-
raj science. and without being dull
it is philosophical. To the least bit
curious reader it's interest is compell-
ing. The bright places along thru
the many short chapters are like the
flowers that attract the bees, and
one follows INTERESTINGLY from one to
the other, even as the honey gather
ers do, in a we'll founded hope of
further sweets. And like all really
good books it keeps up, because the
writer speaks from the fulness of
his experience and thought-not
from a fund of half conceived no
tions. He is a happy old dreamer
and ought to be one of the happiest
men in the world, whose thoughts
it is a privilege to share.
1t is possible to watch every part
of bee hive and observe the work
ing of each function, see laws OF
bee instinct acted out, and one can
even influence the unsuspecting lit
tie honey gathers to store away more
treasures for man, without their
knowing a thing about man. The
manipulation of the bee keeper is an
unsolvable mystery to the bee, per-
haps in the way that great forces
are to man inscrutible. The maraud-
ing hand that carries off summers
treasure store is no more understood
by the bees that the early frost Is by
men, or the destructive passion of
war.
In one thing, says Maeterlinck,
bees are a supreme living symbol
and that is. simply, preparedness:
They live entirely for the future
they sacrifice everything to a day.
that is coming, and never pause
moment to enjoy life. They will
freely give their own lives for the
next generation, whether represented
by their queen or by their young;
worship at one shrine, the preserva-
ton of the race. After reading this
book one will naturally expect bee
keepers to be more than ordinary
men, for they are constantly taking
lesson in the wisdom of the "order
of things AS a work 1t surely
deserves place right by the side
of quaint old Isaak, the angler.

1T WAS ON HIS MIND
A couple Of weeks ago there ,

A couple Of weeks ago there was
a breaking of ground for the new
sugar factory at Shelley and while
the multitudes were assembling for
the event, somebody addressed one
of Shelley's business men and said:
Great event; this will put Shelley
on the map, these two new sugar
factories. It will make your town
grow. By the way, what are lots
worth now along these roads ada
cent to the factory farm"
The other man glanced about him
at the fields and said, II don't know
How should l have the nerve to fix
the price of lots out here when
have not had drink for three
years."

AN OPTIMIsT IN TOWN

George Peacock, the Union Sunday
school organizer, was In town last
Friday and dropped in at The Re-
publican office as a good man should.
He said that his work Of organizing
and maintaining Sunday schools is
among the farmers, and he had been
down getting some inspiration for
better homes and beauty spots by
looking over and taking photos of
Sagehurst, and not wishing to receive
inspiration without offering some in
return he came in to say that Idaho
is great wherever one touches 1t.
That Bingham county Is rich and
great and that when we say that 40
acres is ample room for family to
make good living If they will only
farm it intensively and raise cows
and poultry and other animals to con-
sumo what is raised on the place, we
put it too high; that he has seen
enough to convince him that a family
can make a good living on 10 acres,
but not 10 acres of such farming as
the average farmer in this county is
doing. He travels over the state and
sees so many things that are remark
able, he does not hesitate to say that
the work of cutting up farms into
smaller and smaller units will go
on to extremes not generally thought
practical at all by the present farm
ers, and that there is an unlimited
field of operations for farmer-editors
and agricultural or county agents
helping the agricultural classes to
improve the work of training nature
to produce greater wealth per acre.
Boston Bankers Said
"a short time ago, said Mr.. Pea
cock, IT rode thru this valley with
two bankers from New England VINO
had come out here to see what kind
of a country it is where insurance
men keep clamoring for more money
to loan to farmers at from 7 to y
per cent interest, and where they
actually pay the interest and repay
the loans They could not under
stand what kind of farming country
it was where they could do this, and
having considerable money loaned
out in this valley, they decided to
come out and look at farms on which
their money had been loaned. 1t
was a revelation to these men ana
they kept exclaiming at what they
saw. The great plains, the canals
running full of water, the luxuriant
fields, the repeat crops, the glorious
sunshine, all these things showed
them why farmers can borrow money
at what looked to them like exorbit-
ant rates and yet pay it and the
taxes and make their living from the
farms. They said no other country
they had ever seen would make such
returns and pay such rates. They
saw all they wanted to ,rejoiced at
the prospects and went back enthusi-
astic for Idaho.
Blackfoot Man Distinguished
"Why, do you know that this val
ley is the greatest sugar belt on
earth? This altitude with its hot
days and cool nights Is just what
makes the sugar beet the best in the
world Talk about two sugar fac

tories being too many for one town,
why we have only been farming a
little of the country! And we make
the best sugar there is. Did you
know that beet sugar is superior to
cane sugar? Chemists prove it, con-
sumers prefer it, and physicians
recommend it. And right here at
Blackfoot you have the second best
sugar maker in the world-William
Marley, of the Blackfoot factory bears
that distinction.
TrainlOad of Idaho Honey
Down at Twin Falls a couple Of
weeks ago they shipped train load
of honey to Winnipeg, Canada. l
saw it loading and leaving. Twenty
cars of Twin Falls honey invoiced
at three dollars case for the fancy
and $3.50 a case for the second
grade. Twin Falls has new sugar
factory the most modern there is,
with all the simplicity and effective
ness known to sugardOm. 1t cost
million dollars and is located just
southeast of the city.
Seed Market Manager
while there l met Mr.. Lore, gen.
eral manager for the worlds seed
business as it pertains to clovers, al
falfa, alsyke and the like. He says
the best seeds in the world come from
Twin Falls, Idaho. Alsyke has a
black seed and is used extensively
for making coloring matter. 1t COM
mands very high prices and people
down there are getting rich raising
it. But while they are doing that,
others are making money on clover
seed and alfalfa seed and other
things. l know a doctor there who
bought tract of land at 500 an
acre and planted it to potatoes and
he sold the crop for 1926 an acre,
loaded them on the cars and got his
money. This county is coming out
of the kinks, but it is not keeping
pace with those new counties down
there. Twin Falls Is wonderful
city and a clean city. No need for
the newspaper to agitate for clean
up there. The town is scrupulously
clean and neat. Boise and Twin Falls
in Idaho, bear the distinction of being
American cities Of the first type. They
have more of the pure American
blood in them and less of foreigners
than any other cities of their size
in the United States. They also bear
the distinction of having greater
of Protestants than any
other cities in the United States
II am glad to see the sugar in
dustry attracting so much interest in
this county. Sugar will put money
into circulation and it will make your
country and your towns build up.
Sugar is one of the worlds necessi-
ties. and as a food product it goes
from the field where nature as
sembles it and passes thru the fac
tory and is treated by machinery
and by chemicals and is never touch
ed by human hands. It goes TO The
sack and to the table and into your
fruit and coffee handled by silver
spoon"
