Editor, The Idaho Republican:
II can think of nothing that is
either such a pleasure to us or a
pest, in the city or on the farm, as
just trees. And it all depends upon
where a tree is plantd and whether
it is of use or not. Shade trees
placed so as to shelter us from the
sun and, wind are things of beauty
and also "a joy forever" But IL
planted where they are Of no use to
us, are perhaps in our way, they only
rob the soil of its fertility and keep
other things from growing to matur-
.ity, excepting weeds, and an insight
|ly weed patch is the discouraging re-
suit. There is scarcely a city lot or
farm but would be made more valu-
able by the taking UP Of its surplus
trees, so that those which stand
serve the good purposes of shade and
beauty and those which obstruct the
view and blight more valuable
Igrowths are done away with.

the dry farm belt, brought in some
samples of grains they are growing

acres of sugar beets that r not a
very good stand but he says they
average the size of a teacup and there
is moisture in the soil for consider

cleared and broken last year and
plowed again in spring. That did not

PIG CLUBS
Eastern Banks Making Money By
Lending Boys on the
Home Farm

ft-
The bankers in many states are
REALIZING the value of pig club work
as a means of materially improving
rural conditions, according to club
agents of the department. Not a few
of the bankers have made it possible
for worthy club members to secure
pigs on their personal notes. In this
way a well-bred pig is secured and
the member can pay for it from the
proceeds of the pig as a meat animal
or from the sale Of offspring in the
case of a breeding animal. The men,

with the parents consent) with the
banker and is in this way relieved
of the stigma of charity, which is
the result when a pig Is given out
right. This arrangement is a prac-
'tical means of teaching business
methods to the rural young people. It
is also a character building process,
for it is but natural for a boy when
treated as a man to act in a manly
manner.

that of a Texas bank. The president
of the bank placed 1926 pigs among
the pig club memers of his county.
AS a result of the acquaintance made
in securing and placing these pigs,
many new patrons were secured.
These patrons brought in over $751;
900 in deposits. Needless to say, this
was a profitable business for the
bank, but it is also a means that will
increase with time in it's beneficial
influence. One of the Texas papers
states that the banker "has laid the
foundation for a prosperity which
will be lasting. The boys that he has
helped to get started in the hog bust
ness are now on their feet financially,
and before many years they will be
making big shipments of hogs to
market each year. The money re-
ceived from the sale Of hogs will be
expended in further developing the
county. Every merchant in the county
will profit, the banks will get more
deposits, and the farmers will have
more money with which to further
develop their farms."-Exchange.

Shadow of the Pines

Snake river valley is going to have
Ia dense population. There will be
times when they will want to go and
play. There will be days when it is
hot and dusty in the valley. There
will be times when people have hay
fever and asthma and other things
including money, that they want to
get rid Of. Loads of them will want
to go to the mountains by the short
est route, to stay a week or a month
where they can be cool and forget
their troubles and smell the aroma
of the pine needles and watch the
leaves on the quaking aspens to see
if thy can ever catch them quiet and

1t was the middle of July up in

been a mile or two farther north
or it might have been a mile or two
farther south. That part doesn't

While we were thinking of all
these things that we have just been
telling you about, the men and the
county officials were talking. The
men wanted roads and the officials
had roads in their vest pockets. The
men wanted schools and the officials
were bullying with schools. The men
wanted voting precincts but at pres
emit they were in Presto precinct 30
miles. away over the range. Strange
isn't it! All that day and the next
day the men were taking the officials

From Europe to America

Some of the old countries have
boasted OF their colliseums; Tacoma,
washington, is proud of its stadium
where 10000 people can sit and
watch a boxing match or a ball game,
but only the fourth of this month the
highlanders assembled for a celebra-
ton at Canyon creek and had seats
for everybody overlooking the race
course and ball game, and also had
room for 10000 others who did not
see it advertised and were not there.
The encircling hills formed a stadium
already decorated, and in each place
where the resorts of the future are
provided, there a be preserved a
natural temple to suit the worshipers
and down on the campas a natural
diamond and stadium for the ball
games.

From Different Viewpoints

H,-.rm st. gE#l-e""
When the people down in the
Blackfoot country look eastward at
the crest of the range, they are view
ing the barren sides of the mountains
and their neighbors just over the
summit in valleys 1000 feet above
Snake river valley, view the protected
or grassy, timbered sides of the same
mountains. The canyons with their
pines and quaking aspens and great
patches and streaks of brush on the
grassy slopes, with here and there a
snow bank, make fine food for art
lists to go into. spasms over and yet
better feed for stock to go into winter
on. Looking at the matter from the
eastern slope there is something to
appeal to folks who are esthetic or
whatever you call it, and also to folks
who are practical and who really
know a good thing when they see it.

Quite Some Creeks

We spoke of the officials having
roads in their vest pockets. AS these
demonstrations progressed they grad
ually unloaded their stock of roads
and were pushing them off right and
left to all the demontrators.
They traversed a number of creeks
on the trip; there were Willow creek;
Badger creek; Moon creek; Rock
creek; Squaw creek; Birch creek and
Twin creek. There were Mud creek;
Sellers creek; Chicken creek; Buck
creek and Mill creek. And there
were Seventy creek; Wilson creek;

An Official Order

II the officials had any doubt about
the need of roads their doubts were
dispelled by demonstrations. The
men steered the officials thru the val
ley and across different ridges and
creeks. There are no bottom lands
along the main streams. Ridges ex-
tend down from the base OF the
mountains to the bank of the main
stream, and creeks run down parcel
lei to the ridges. Roads have to be
laid out over the ridges and creeks,
SO it Is up hill and down, with muddy
crossings till grading and bridging
begin. In the spring. of the year the
creeks are bordered by wide strips of
grass and mud. AS the season ad-
yances 1t becomes more solid and less
quivering along the creek banks or
creek. bordrs. The muddy, CULVER
ing streak becomes quite narrow In
July and August. When the officials
tried crossing creeks they found that
the big Buick car sank deep into the
mud and the little Ford sank not so
deep. Commissioner James Christen-
sen the official guide, historian n
geographer of the party ordered that
the little Ford should try the mud
first to see how deep it was. If the
little Ford got stuck, the big Buick
could pull it out, but il the big Buick
got stuck, the little Ford could only
stand on the bank and honk. II
the little Ford scooted successfully
across a q~uivering soddy place, all
hands would make a guess as to
whether or not the big Buick could
turn the same trick.

The highlanders will get wise and
build hotels to accommodate the low

can of the natural beauty, and each
hotel will be in a pretty glade with
"a tennis court IN one side and an

will flow in every room of the big
