that Farmer Bill'' is one of the best
writer's that contribute to the Country
Gentleman and to a number of other
nationally known agricultural and
stock papers.
Farmer Bill' blew into Idaho and
the Richfield country several years
ago. He was lust looking around. :
He had seen about all there is to be
seen, SO he thought, but when he
found the Richfield section, which is
located in Lincoln county and is one
of the beauty spots of the state, he
decided to call that place and Idaho

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS

Comments Received From Over the
State i'm Last Ten Days

w. S. Parkhurst, editor of the
I2ichfeld Recorder, was in the city
a few hours last Monday. Mr. Park
hurst, who is known over the state as
s'Farmer BILL" has entered the race
for the nomination for state auditor
on the republican ticket. Mr.. Park
hurst is the owner of a Carey Act
farm near Richfield. He is also presi-
dent of the Idaho Chamber of Com
merce and director of the Mutual
creamery company. He is also a writ
er of repute and an occasional con
tributor of articles to several leading
magazines.
Although he has been resident of
Idaho only about eight years, he is
deeply interested in its upbuilding,
and the article he has written for
eastern magazines and newspapers
have resulted in bringing large
humber of settlers into this state. He

Farmer Bill' for state auditor is
the latest dope and his friends feel
that he will sweep the state the way
a prairie fire used to sweep over the
prairies of Kansas
The real name is w. S. Parkhurst
of Richfield but few know him by
that name. Farmer Bill" is the name
by which all the people of southern
Idaho know him. For why? Because
that name just fits the big, brainy
man who by honest effort to build up
Idaho has made hiasself entitled to
the friendly appelation.
For four years heh as been a ranch

and dairy business. Besides his prac-
tical farming operations. he has writ

Fair This Year Will Sur
pass All Previous Ones

In less than sixty days our Richfeld
Day will have been voted either a sue
cess. failure. or ''about the same as
last year" and the year before and the
year before that. This is your day.
Mr. Farmer, what is it going to be?
1t is up to you, each and everyone.
and success or failure will depend upon
your efforts.
An affair of this kind is success
only if the farmers secure some lasting
benefit from it, Those people who
have given it some thought have de-
cided that the greatest benefit to
be obtained may be had from the
effort and thought given to the proper
selection. grading and preparation of
exhibits In the past this work has
not been done by the growers. We
believe the old system has cheated the
grower out of his just dues. This year
there will be exhibited in competition
for premiums only those exhibits pre-
pared by the growers themselves.
Did someone say that he ddn't t know
how to select the best grain. the best
grass or the best potato? If so, we
want to know if YOU know how to
grow the best. If you don't know
how to grow the best and how to select
the best of what is grown it will GER
tainly pay you to find out. The man
who has had experience in selecting
and preparing exhibits is on the job
and his advice and assistance may be
had for the asking No one can say
that Frank Pope has not taken an in
terest in this work He will be more
than glad to help you. When you come
in to the fair you will see your individ-
ual work put up for comparison only
with that done by your neighbor.
Your officers are not experts, they
don't know it ALL Come in and give
them the benefit of your advice. Don't
tell your neghbor that everything is
being done backwards and that you
could beat it mile. Come in and tell
the officers. You will have their
thanks and may even get cigar or
box of copenhagen.
Now, all together. Get behind. and

The announcement of w. S. Park
burst, of Richfeld, better known
throughout the entire state as
Farmer Bill" for the Republican
nomination for state auditor was
made in this city this morning. Mr.
Parkhurst is one of the leading news
paper men of the state and has at
tanned national reputation as a
writer of articles bearing upon Ida
no, her resources and development.
He has been a rancher on the Rich
field tract the past few years, and
for several months has had charge of
the work of the Idaho state chamber
of commerce. of which organization
he is the president.-Power County
News.

The Leader-Herald has not word
to say against any man running for
the position of state auditor, but 1t
says now as it always has that it is
an injustice and poor politics to name
the bulk of the candidates from the
city of Boise. By reason of its size 1t
has a big advantage in the primaries,
but it should not take advantage of
the situation. OF course, the prime
consideration is the quality of the
man, but it is fair to presume that
other sections of the state are prepar-
ed to furnish men of equal ability to
any found in Boise.
w. S. Parkhurst of Richfield has
announced his candidacy for the re-
publican nomination for state audit
or. He comes from section of the
state not asking for anything else.
He is splendidly equipped for the

w. S. Parkhurst, the publisher of
the Richfeld Recorder, and a rancher
near that place, is candidate for the
republican nomination for state aud
itor.
Mr. Parkhurst is widely konwn as
Farmer Bill, the pseudonym under
which his welcome contributions to
the Country Gentleman" magazine
appear He is also a director in the
Mutual creamery company which
makes specially to selling cows to
deserving farmers to be paid for with
their cream; and president Of the Ida
ho State Chamber of Commerce.
No one will impugn the character
of Farmer Biz in any respect,
hence If nominated he will be elected

appeared in the Country Gentleman
and attracted wide attention, and re-
suited in bringing many families to
Idaho. He organized the Mutual
Creamery company which now has z b
buyers in the state and increased It's
business last year 32 per cent. He is
still one of the directors of the COM
pany and takes an active part in its
management.
His activity for the advancement OF
the state soon brought many demands
unon him for articles and personal
service. When the Idaho State Cham
her of Commerce was organized Mr..
Parkhurst was selected as the presl-
dent and he is now engaged in help
ing to work out big advertising
campaign to be put on through the
middle west.
He was reluctant to consider poll
tics, but the demand has been so per-
sistent that he has finally authorized
the Leader Herald to announce his
candidacy for the republican nomlna-
tion for state auditor as he happened
to be in Nampa when he decided that
he owed it to his friends to yield to
their wishes.
That his friends will push his can
didacy along goes without saying.
They konw him to be thoroughly hon
est, competent and big man wher-
ever he is placed. He is not only a
capable business man, keen writer
but on the stump he can hold his own
with the best of them. 1t is believed
that his candidacy will prove one oil
the most popular there has been IN
the state for years. .-Nampa Leader
