We live in a coy nook, sneltereo
on all sides by cottonwoods from
storms and winds and even frosts.
We raise wheat, oats, peas, potatoes
beets and alfalfa, rotating the crops
best suited to the soil and season.
Nearly every year we excel all our
neighbors in the production OF II
and all crops. Our 80 acres produce
! more than any other 80 in this local
ity. The secret of success Is TO TAKE
proper care of the crops.
But money is not all we are after.
We are looking for all the sunshine
smiles and pleasure we can find, n
we aim to get the greatest amount OF
these good things out OF our farm
work. We do nearly all our own
/ work and that gives u little family
a great deal of enjoyment and ex-

We seldom miss entertaining the

There are many varieties of poll

old and new, prehistoric and modern,
classical and rag-time. Moses Alex

and in n prodigious instance
proves there is something in a name.
Tie people Of Idaho have followed
their Moses into the land of Canaan,

rae.time records played by the Demo-

money would have bought some real
permanent improvements in the way
of wise expense records. but mas
much as this is a day Of freaks and
false economies, let us be consistent.

should worry, you understand.
