MEETING
EMERGENCIES

Down at Springfield recently q
man met an emergency half way and
won. Henry Berg is one of their
enterprising farmers not too rich and
not too poor, and when the farmers
and housekeepers' week was an
nounced for Pocatello, he arranged
to send Mrs. Berg and two of the
children and he remained at home
to take care of things. The weather
was very severe and one morning
when he went out to do the chores
he found a new calf with its feet
frozen He didn't knock it in the
head nor leave it to suffer; he took
it into the house, set it across chair
on its little 'tummy," got it's front
feet into one bucket of cold water
and its hind feet into another, and
worked with calfie until it was in as
good condition as he could get it,
thereby saving years crop for the
COW
That shows the right spirit in the
farmer and stockman. Granting that
he had given the COW the best
shelter he could. he did everything
1lC CUulu W ICIIlOVO tllO ulSd5J6I tudl
overlook the calf. The calf couldn' I
help its condition, the COW couldn't
treat it and Mr.. Berg did.
There are lot of valuable little
animals that come into the world
under conditions that make for in
tense suffering and death for many
of them. Who is that has not gone
along the country roads and noticed
the little bodies Of newborn pigs
thrown out on pile of waste by
the pig pens? How many farmers
are there that stay up at night or
get up in the night to go and look
after any animal approaching ma
ternity? The seasons crop is at
stake, and some attention at the
right time makes the increase safe;
lack Of care is responsible for heavy
loss in many instances. Lack of
plans, lack of records and system and
Indifference to the helplessness of the
mother and the young, steal away
the increase, and the Indifferent
farmer accepts the loss as matter
of course instead of charging it up
to his own lack of attention.

BOOSTING THAT
HELPS

Elsewhere in this issue, under the
heading, 1.-THE RUPEES in Town." we
find the proof of theory long en-
tertained by this paper. and more
generally accepted now than in form
er yeaRs, that the best boosting a
newspaper can do for community is
to publish the simple truth about
conditions, with the ups and downs
thrown in with the good things.
A few weeks ago we published a
ten-minute interview with Mr.. and
Mrs. Rupe about farming in their
locality; an interview grabbed in the
open while he was hitching up a
team We put ten years observations
in as a prelude, and had a story Of
hardships, bad luck and optimism,
and when the papers went out it
started inquiries from people in other
states to see if the story was true,
and from people in this county, to
find out just how they do some Of
their blowing, seeding and watering.
This part of the incident has special
significance. If the story had pre-
scented only the rosy side, it would
have looked too good to be true, and
people would have dismissed the sub
ject. Time will tell whether or not
it brings any settlers, and if SO, what
kind. But that is not the chief source
Of value, people already here are
taking the cue and are planning to
go out on their own farms and do
likewise adding that dollar an
acre" to their 1916 crop yield, and
II the study and inquiry started by
publishing the article gets the results
on three or four farms that it did
on RUPEES, it will add enough wealth
to the county to run printing house
for year and employ a county ag-
ricultural agent besides.

Brooklyn Scores a Sensational Victory at C&ago~G Giants Suffer Eighth Defeat in Nine Games in the
YankS' Comeback Puts
Back Into Limelight
Fine Showing of Donovan's Brigade Featured Last
Weeks Baseball Doings-Superbas Are Strength
ening Their Hold on First Place.
~ FIR d @. LIEp.

The comeback made by the Yankees
after local fans believed they had
dropped out OF sight. was the most re.
markable feat Of last weeks baseball
doings. A week ago last Saturday the
club dropped the double header to Phila-
delphia. after losing fourteen out Of
eighteen games in the West, which gave
score Of games. After q body blow like
that 1t generally was believed that the
Yankees gave up all thought Of doing
any additional 1915 pennant hunting.
But they are Jack again. trying to get
into the thick OF the night. Their chances
are none too rosy. but this morning they
are only six games behind first place.
and another week like last. when they
won i've out Of six games. should bring
them somewhere near the top.
The 1915 Grind In the American
League IL the most remarkable race ever
fought In . major league. Here we are
getting o toward September. and
six clubs still remain very much In the
night. The National League had a won
derful race last year. but about this
time Of the yea Philadelphia, Boston
ana Booklyn started to get ahead OF the
rest OF the field. But in the American
League no team refuses to blow. WASH
ington stuck along with the other six
until a fortnight ago. when I'VE straight
defeats by st. Louis gave them a blow
from which they have not yet recovered.
The Browne also pretty near killed of
the Yank chances by beating them six
straight when the Donovan boys last
were In the Mound City.
YANKEE Chances sim Brisht.
II Baker and Oldring would be able
to get into the game within . week. the
nance OF New York starting something
In earnest would be pretty bright. II
had been hoped that Baker would start
against the Western teams. but o lit
tie hope 10 held out that he will be back
before September 1. Oldring has been
III and has not regained his normal
strength. Elmer Miller has been fielding
WELL. but he Is hitting only .202. There
Is one thing which may be said In favor
Of this boy. he invariably inserts the few
hits that he does max at the most
timely moments.
Donovan made a hit with the fans
last week by putting Walters behind the
bat as a regular. Not hat the fans
have anything against Nunamaker. They
like him. Leslie IL a fne fellow. . hard
hitter and a hard working ball player.
but he never was the catcher that Wal
ters Is. and Al hits only a few points
lighter than the big N~ebraskan. This
Is no knock 10 far as Nunamaker "a con-
for Ray Srhalk 10 shomt the only
We know OF who has anything on
walters. and all Ray has on the Texas
League graduate Is experience.
Donovan would make another popular
move by placing Mullen regularly on
base. Gedeon Is a. much n load
to q batting order as a pitcher. II he
