Jour TOWN"

Anything from a water tank to
twenty-five hundred is city; from
twenty-five hundred to hundred
thousand is a town; when it has a
million or so population it is referred
to as the burg.
But DIT doesn't matter what it is
called or whether it be a village or
metropolis, if its population is active
and bent upon constructive work, it
is contributing to the upbuilding of
its community, dts state and its nation.
Someone wrote that God must love
poor folks because he made so many
OF them. Whether or not Providence
has been concerned with the progress
of the small towns, they seem to
have rested the benediction of some
strong and favoring influence, because
there are so many of them.

SWAT THE FLY.

The Republican is informed that
the Sub Rosa club will devote much
OF its attention this season to the ex-
termination of the fly. We cannot
think of more commendatory work,
and it is certain that if the club
women of the city take an active
interest in the subject they will
have no trouble in enlisting the aid
OF the City authorities and the De-
yelopment League.
In this connection we would call
attention to the experience of the
government when it undertook to rid
Panama of the yellow fever mosquito
There was NO army OF men sent out
to swat the individual mosquito, but
the city and it's surroundings were
cleaned up and the breeding places
destroyed, with the result that it was
only a short time until the mosquito
was entirely eliminated. This seems
to be only a feasible plan for get
ting rid of the flies. We might kill
a few millions with swatters and fly
papers, but this work amounts to
if the breeding places are
not cleaned up.

LESSON FROM CALIFORNIA.

| California is a land of the superla
| tive degree-at least in the minds oil
those who dwell in the Golden state
and plenty of argument, both visual
and verbal, can be put forth to easily
convince the visitor that such is in
deed the case. California, so the
visitor is told, enjoys the finest year
round climate in the universe; it has
the most varied and beautiful seem
cry in the world; 1t produces the
greatest variety and the very best
agricultural products of any state in
the union; it produces the best oran-
ges, the finest lemons and the best OF
all other kinds of fruits, not to men
ton movie actors, poets, artists, mu-
sicians and prizefighters; 1t has the
most up-to-date cities on the CONT
nent; more of it's population ride in
their own automobiles than in amy
other state; it has the finest sys-
tenn of roads to be found in either
Europe or in America; and so on ad
infinitum. In short it is the modern
LAND of milk and honey" And If
the visitor let's it be known that he is
actually living in some other spot In
the unverse-Idaho for instance-he
is Immediately looked upon with a
certain degree of compassion and
pity and asked when he is coming to
California to live. A writer i'm one of
the current magazines coins the
word California" as descriptive of
the boosting spirit that seems to
obsess Californians, and it's victims.
"Californiacs. apt term indeed.
We Idahoans can earn lesson
from the Californians. If we should
become possessed with a little more
of the boosting spirit of the "Califor-
nlacs"-tell our visitors that Idaho
has a few superlative degrees of her
own, that we can produce the finest
wheat in all the land and more OF
1t per acre, that our potatoes are the
finest dug from the soil, that our
are stocked with the finest
cattle and sheep, that our farms
are fertile and produce crops that in
variety and quality are the equal if
not the superior of amy, that our eli
mate doesn't have to take back
seat for any, and that here are oppor-
.unities in every lime of activity that
cannot be found esewhere-not even

CAN WE DO 1T?

Nearly every day someone asks
the question as to whether or not We
can raise alfalfa seed successfully.
There seems to be some doubt as to
whether 1t is sure, every season
crop, and also as to what the market
conditions are as a rule. The writer
is unable to answer these questions
authoritatively, but such inyestiga-
ton as We have made leads to the
conclusion that alfalfa seed is about
as sure as amy o. the other crops
grown in this section and the market,
tor a good many years past, has been
such as to afford a fair price for
good clean seed; a price that would
give good financial returns to the
producer of anything like fair yield
In other parts of this state alfalfa
seed lis looked upon as about a
staple crop aus wheat or alta ia hay.
OF course a great rain fall during
would have disastrous effects, but it
seems that Is about the only adverse
condition to be commended with.
OF course last year was an excep-
tionally good one for maturing grass
seed of all kinds, and one could
scarcely hope to do as well one year
after another, but there is little doubt
but that very good profit can be
depended upon from the production Of
alfalfa seed. 1t is being done in
other sections of the state and it
seems reasonably certain that we can
do as we'll right here at home.
Down in the southeastern portion
OF the state seed raising was almost
forced upon alfalfa growers because
OF am oyerproduction of hay, and 1t is
possible that the same condition
would result here if all our farmers
confined their efforts to raising alfalfa
hay, but 1t has proven great boon
In another direction i'm localities whereI
there Is a scarcity of water, for it
does not require as much water to
mature a crop of seed as it does to
make good hay crop, so that If after
the hay is taken off, provision is
made for only a seed crop, there is
more water available for irrigating |
potatoes, sugar beets, mangels and
other root crops In some sections
an irrigation just before cutting the
first crop of hay is sufficient to ma
ture very good crop of seed.
For the good of the country it
seems that this question should be
investigated thoroughly, and some
tests should be made, not only for al
falfa seed but for red and white
peas, beans and various other seed
crops for which there is a general de-
mand.

The metropolis is big, but it is not
as big as the little fellow, taking
them jointly as to their resources
and possibilities.
The commercial and industrial life
of the nation demands large cities,
but it could not get along without
the small ones. The big places may
constitute the tap-root of the nation S
security, holding the tree firm so long
as it is alive, but the smaller places
represent the out-spreading roots
that furnish the real punishment.
We have often heard people speak
disparagingly of their town because it
happened to be small and struggling.
That not only discloses disloyalty,
but species of mental "peanutting"
that is inimical to either communal or
individual growth.
The town where you live is your
home town. You should always be
ready to speak a good word for it
and put your shoulder to the wheel
to assist it.
To treat it with a measure of con-
tempt because it is not so large or
perhaps so prosperous as some of its
neighbors, is equivalent to heaping
odium upon yourself because you are
not so rich or powerful as others.
Each of our towns can grow and
welfare of the state, but there must
be a prideful interest in them on the |
part of it's citizens. Nothing will |
breed 1t more than a healthful spirit |

BAPTIST CHURCH.

more than eighty have come forward
during the series and accepted

three or four times as great.

WHY is A RAILROAD?

The purpose of railroad is to
build up; never to tear down.
The existence of railroad depends
upon it ability to build up; it MUST
build up.
A railroad company can harbor no
animosities nor grudge; 1t is not
tenable that it could work to the
detriment of one section or COM
munity for the advantage and benefit
of another section or community be-
cause it depends upon every section
and community for support.
A railroad must serve all sections,
communities and cities according to
their Importance and location, rem
dering such service with equal JUS
tice to all.
A railroad must be so organized
and operated, and should be per-
mitted to be so organized and opera
ted that its earnings are sufficient
to pay all operating expenses, all
betterments and all improvements, i'm
order to keep up to high standard
of progress and efficiency; after
that, its stockholders and owners
are entitled to a profit ON their i'm
vestments.
In merchandising or manufacturing,
no limit is placed on possible profits.
In railroading, circumstances are
such that profits are limited and re-
strained there can be no fabulous
so per cent or 100 per cent earnings;
competition is too keen.
The building of many railroads, and
the development of interurban cleo
trio lines and automobile travel are
so great, that no steam railroad can
expect to monopoIize business.
1t takes the cooperation and
We alth of great many individuals to
build railroads The holders who
have built and owned railroads have
been satisfied with comparative low
interest returns because OF the sta
blity of their investment and the Sc
curity afforded.
