I've called to you twice." repeated
the girl IN the yellow and white silk
sport suit. pausing on the steps in
amazement, "and you have kept on
staring into the geranium box, What's
the trouble?"
oh" explained the slim young wo-
man who had sprung up from the
porch hammock, bewildered. 'T was
thinking! I've got to think hard
trying to decide my role this coming
summer!"
Are you going into the movies %
demanded her friend.
Worse said the girl in the ham
mock. Summer resort! Heretofore
I've simply gone and breathed natural
Iy and taken things as they came. IF
some other girl was the popular one
was philosophical about it and got all
my Christmas presents made. Now,
however, I've decided that what is
needed at a summer resort is sys-
tenl-sOmething on the efficiency or
der. If 1t works in a business office I
don't for the life of me see why it
shouldn't work at the lake! No girl
has yet introduced 1t and I can get
away with it before the poor dears
wake up and realize what is happening
to them!"
ct never heard anything so awful"
Indignantly objected the yellow and
white girl. 4 thought that efficiency
such as father is always talking
about is something that makes you
chart your time and live on schedule,
and if you'll tell me the virtue Of
jumping up in the middle of a canoe
trip or a picnic dinner with the firm
announcement that you now are due
to weed the garden or make eyes at
some other man I should like to hear
it,"
1T will be nothing quite so rigid"
replied the girl in the hammock. you
know, when an interesting man ar
rives at a summer resort every girl
hopes that she's going to be the one
he picks out to play around with.
They sit and hope-and hang around
and hoDe-and try to shove the other
girls off the boards and hope-and,
meanwhile they are so engaged in
keeping their eagle eyes on one an
other to snip off any under advantage
in the bud that the man gets through
his vacation, packs UP and departs
without any ones getting anywhere!
It's a terrible waste of good material!
There was a perfectly good young
doctor last year who wore the duck
lest fiannels and made an ideal maya
zine picture in a canoe. The three
weeks he spent at the hotel were the
scenes of wild carnage. He had a
hOrrid time. The minute he tried to
talk to one girl another lurking some
where in ambush dashed out with
Giittering eyes and interrupted tri-
Hmphantly-fOr about one minute.
Then girl number three, rushing up
breathlessly from the tennis court,

The law concerning the stopping of
automobiles by reason of a standing
trolley car is not being observed very
closely by drivers in this community.
The law is strict, requiring each driv-
er to come to a stop and then to pro-
coed cautiously. Observations of any
one riding trolley cars on North Main
street show that, contrary TO coming
to a stop and then approa ching eau
tiousIy, the majority of drivers speed
up to see if they cannot pass the car
before the trolley passenger is able tc
alight. There will be an accident
here one of these days on account of
the non observance of this law, and
the driver will probably look for I'M
warranted leniency in the courts.
They need not expect any or even any
public sympathy. Perhaps the only
effective method to put a stop to this
folly is to take numbers, as observed,
and cause arrests. One does hate to
use any method which will inconven-
fence a neighbor and fellow citizen
but drivers should observe the law

A Hartford woman who is one Of
the worlds unfortunates and who has
been arrested IS times, came to the
police station the other night in that
city and begged a refuge because she
was not feeling well. She rad no
place TO go, no friend to seek, no ref
uge in sight but the police station
and there she was compelled to make
her harbOr. There is grave need here
in Connecticut of a refOrmatOry for
the women, a companion institution to
the one in Cheshire which is doing
such splendid work for the boys and
those who make their first ynissteps. If
there was a woman's reformatory, this
Hartford unfortunate could overcome
her habits; there she could stay if she
found that she could not continue to
fight her battle out in the world. Let
us hope that the coming session of the
legislature will seriously consider a re-
formatory for women besides this one
in Cheshire, for it could be run under
the same management and much of
the operating expense thereby reduced.

The end of that pest which made
every telephone user add penny to
his long distance calls and telegraph
messages, is in sight. The new rev.
enue bill drops the telephone and teIe-
graph tax and substitutes other and
more suitable revenue producers in
their stead. Means of communication
and transportation are poor things to
tax. A tax on telephone cells is as
bad for the nation as three cent letter
postage as a means of raising rev
enue. 1t is far better-as the new bill
purposes-to give business every
chance t omake good, and let it pay a
form of the telephone and telegraph
taxes was a nuisance, anyway

when about $50 delegates We're present
The Bull MOosers were unusually quiet

hours nominated sixteen delegates to
go to Chicago to boost for their former
presidential idol, Teddy Roosevelt,
HON they will try again to elevate tc
the presidential chair by aid of the Re-
publican party which Teddy and his
following did everything they possibly
could to destroy. Democrats masquer-
aiding az Republicans are also boosting
Teddy, whose nomination they believe
will do more to re-elect President Will

than any action that could be taken

LOVE MAY LIFT HIS HEAD.

The shadow of disgrace shall fall;

Of words of blame, or proof of thus

Let something good be said.
Forget not that no fellow being yet
May fall SO low but love may lift
his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is
wet,
If something good is said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so
dead
But may awaken strong and glorifed,
If something good is said.
And so charge We, by the thorMy

And by the cross on which the Saw
Tor bled,
And by your own souls hope Of fair

as late as June 18th, not only in Yellow
stone park but in the Island park section
on the Salt Lake Yellowstone highway,
where considerable new construction is
planned as soon as the snow goes off.
Arrangements have been made with
the commissioners of jefferson and
Bonneville counties during the past
week to construct the new section of
the highway along the railroad track
from UcOn to Rigby and in all prob
the track to the south fork Of Snake
RIVER to connect with the highway at
Lorenzo instead of following the pres
emit route. Work is to be commenced
Immediately.
Reports coming in to headquarters
from all sections Of the highway in
dictate healthy interest in every county
along the line and considerable rivalry
is being manifested by the officers of
the different counties in making the
highway locally the best along the
route.
The work of advertising the Salt
Lake Yellowstone highway to the auto
public and inducing traffic to come over
this line, as well as the preparation of
the log of the highway, is progressing
as rapidly as possible. The log will be
available for distribution in very short
time. Every effort is being made by the
officers of the big association to carry
out the program mapped out by the
Pocatello convention to complete the

potatoes should he grown At

Seed potatoes should be grown at
home in a specially selected seed plot
Land which has never been planted to
potatoes, but which has for several
years been under cultivation with alfal
ia or grain is apparently best adapt
ed for growing healthy seed potatoes.
Raw desert land should be avoided, as it
is not well adapted to potato growing
until it has first been in cultivation
with other crops, especially leguminous
crops and grains. The seed selected
for such seed plot should be wholly
free from disease. This can be accom-
plished in the following manner: Sc
lect from your seed potatoes tubers
which show no external evidence of dis
case such as russell or RhizoctOnia
scab, common scab or decays. Tubers
having small pockets of storage dry
rot may be used provided the decayed
portion is cut out. No trace of the de-
cay should remain. Tubers externally
free from evidence of disease should
then be cut into seed pieces. The first
cut should be made across the stem
end. The stem-end portion should al
ways he discarded. If there is any
deep discolOratiOn at the stem END, the
entire tuber should be discarded; but if
apparently healthy, the rest may be
cut into seed pieces Of the desired size.
After cutting, the selected seed stock
should be treated by soaking for two
hours in a solution Of corrosive sub
Innate. The formula for making the
corrosive sublimate dip is as follows:
To each 30 gallons Of water add 4
ounces of corrosive sublimate which has
first been dissolved in little hot water.
In making and using the solution, only
wooden, glass or porcelain vessels
should be employed. Corrosive subj
mate is deadly poison and both the 80
luton and the potatoes treated should
be kept out Of the reach Of farm stock
The seed plot should be given the hest
possible care, a. potatoes poorly cared
for are apparently more susceptible to
disease attacks than those which are
given the best opportunity to grow and
mature. Potatoes selected and planted
in this manner should give a product
comparatively free from disease, though
it must be admitted that the planting Of
disease-free seed on new land is not q
guarantee of disease-free product. A
diseased product will mean that the
land is infected and that other land
should be used for the seed plot an
other year.

PERMANENT TARIFF COMMITS
SION.

The exigencies of modern commercial
life, as we'll as the development of this
country in its future activities, demand
that sane and permanent policy in
reference to the tariff be adopted by
this government, says an exchange.
The long established custom of hav-
ing periodic changes in the tariff and
an unsettled policy regarding it has
cost this country many millions Of dol
lars in unsettling the business condi-
tions, while. the cangressionally COM
piled schedules have never been salts
factory to either the members or their
constituents.
determined effort is now being
made to take the tariff out of politics
and place it upon a scientific basis
through the appointment Of perma
nent tariff commission composed of ex-
perts instead of politicians.
The Rainey bill, now before Con-
gress, is an expression of this effort.
1t provides for permanent tariff COM
mission composed of six members, not
more of three of whom shall be of the
same political party, who shall be APP
pointed by the President for a term Of
twelve years. No person shall be eligi-
BILE to membership on this commission
who has served as a member of Con-
gress or of the Senate, and any one
may be removed by the President for
cause.
The commission is to maintain an
Office in Washington, D. c., but has
power to act anywhere. But perhaps
the most important single provision Of
the Rainey bill lies in the permanent
appropriation of funds for the mainte.
nance of the commission, which pre-
vents Congress from disabling it by re-
fusing to appropriate. This would
seem to be good measure, designed co
cover a most important situation and
for this reason worthy of support.

Democrats.

1f man is going to be politician
for the sake Of the game, he had better
be Democrat. The Democrats have
more fun than the members of any
other political party. With the Dem
ocrats politics is politics, and that is
all there is to it. With the Republic
ans, politics is a business. With Pro-
gressives, politics is fetish. With So
cialists, politics is a religion. With
Democrats, politics for politics sake
is an end in itself and that is the end
LOf it. All else is incidental, and no.
body would give a Confederate bill for
the incidents.
As an illustration, there will be
great rumpus at Pocatello, and yet alb
sOlutely nothing to rumpus over. Ev-
cry Democrat in Idaho is perfectly will
ing that President Wilson be renominat-
ed. There is no fight over that. The
position of national committeeman is
important only when the national ad-
ministration is Democratic. The next
administration will be Republican, con
sequently membership OH the national
committee is not important. The Dem
ocrats are fighting for pure joy of fight
ing. They are playing politics simply
and solely for the sake of the game.
The average Democrat knows that it
don't make particle of difference
what is done at the state convention or
who does it.
We believe that the Democrats have
the better system. We have often
thought of joining them, but codld
never run across an Opportune time for
taking the step. If the psychological
lnOment ever arrives and we recOpniz,
it, we will be Democrats. Politics for
politics sake is our idea of real sport.
