What Would Lincoln Do?
Here's Exactly What He
Did I'm Mexican Turmoil

What would Lincoln do? How would he vote
on the questions of preparedness and nterven-
ton in Mexico?
Times readers who have sent in their votes,
have decided by big majority that Lincoln
would have stood against intervention. The
score was 211 to 40.
On the question of prepal%f ..ess the vote was
opinion Of 1873 readers while 121 voted ''ycs."
But there was one man WHO decided the ques-
ton by showing WHAT LINCOLN ACTUAL
LY DID.
He is Walter L. Davis, professor of history at
the College of Puget Sound. In priceless old
government document printed in 1862 he has
dug up the actual record of Lincon's attitude
toward the southern republic

his usual relish, joking with the
members Of his household.
He was taken with slight at
tack of heart trouble little later,
the same trouble he had experienced
a few days before at Twin Falls. A
doctor was summoned but at three
o'clock another attack came on and
he quietly passed away. Nobody
can say aught but good of "Uncle
Jonas" An every day christian,
he was esteemed and loved by all
who met him.
His Masonic career wasr emark-
able. He helped organize the Grand
Lodge forty nine years ago and
missed but one meeting since. He
became a Mason in the year 1849-
sixty-seven years ago. Few men
had more friends than he and still
fewer were more deserving of them.
The five thousand Masons in Idaho
will sincerely mourn his loss.

Farm Lyceum Courses

President M. A. Brannon of the
University of Idaho, who returned
from Boise last week after attend
ing meetings of the heads Of the
state educational institutions and
the state board of education, an
nounces the establishment of a new
department of extension work at
the university. This embraces ly-
ceum courses to be furnished by
the university for Institutes to be
held in the cities and towns through
out the state. Heretofore this ex-
tension work has been confined to
the farmers, stock growers and hor-
ticulturalists.
Under the new department these
extension advantages are to be car
ried to all the people of the state
who wish them, and an extensive
correspondence course is to be built
up in connection with it. To carry
out this plan Donald David of Mos
COW has been appointed to the posi-
ton of university extension assist
ant. O. D. Center, with headquar-
tiers at Boise, will still have super,
vision over the agricultural extern
sion work. Mr.. David. with head
quarters at the university, will de.
vote all his time to the lyceum ex-
tension work and the correspon-
dence courses.

TO SAVE LATE CORN CROP.
Advice to Farmers From Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture,

Advice to Farmers From Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture.
Owing to the cold. wet season and
the severity of cutworms the corn crop
In many places is unusually late and
poor at the present time Farmers are
asking if anything can be done to give
them help in this regard, and H. A.
Surface, zoologist of the Pennsylvania
department Of agriculture, has replied
as follows:
THE cutworm can be killed by the
poison bran mash. 1t is now nearly
time for them to quit feeding and
transform into moths. This regular
habit Of the cutworms has given rise
to the belief that hot weather kills
them or that they burst and die at
certain time of the year. They change
to dark colored moths, such as COM
monty fly at night during the summer,
and which lay eggs at the roots of
vegetation, where the young worms
hatch and commence feeding toward
the end Of summer, remaining in the
soil during the winter to feed again in
the spring. This is why the best
method Of destroying them is to pillow
the grass ground in the fall.
Corn will be helped considerably by
narrowing it shortly after 1t is through
the ground. then cultivating as fire.
quently as possible by shallow cultiva-
ton If the ground is necessarily too
wet for deeper cultivation. 1t is a
good plan to stimulate its growth by
the use Of quickly acting nitrogen
fertilizer. such as nitrate Of soda or
dried blood, strewn along the rows or
sown broadcast over the fields. This
invigorated growth enables it to grow
away from the pests or become
stronger when attacked by them. and

of lead arsenate spray or paris green,
according to George A. Dean, professor
of entomology in the Kansas State Ag-

when spraying with arsenate of
lead use two and one-half pounds Of
dry material to fifty gallons of water"
advises Professor Dean. One pound of
fresh stone lime should be used with
every pound of paris green to prevent
burning of the foliage. The paris green
spray should be used with care.

Anyone receiving a statement OF
his account and a request to pay
up some time between the second
and seventh of October, should not
take offense but should remember
that the business men are endeavor-
ing to get their accounts in shape
for the year and that by paving up
promptly you will be doing your
part to make National Pay-up
Week success.
We find the following sentiment
expressed in many diverse ways but
it is in effect that Henry Ford is an
independent thinker, that he is the
type of Thomas Edison. They are
both republican in politics but both
are ardent supporters of President
Wilson.
Most of us are not content with
ourselves. This is as it should be
for self content is one form of
stagnation.
We cannot grow unless we are
ready to use what we have and
thus fit ourselves for the use of
something better. Growth re-
quires effort.
There are persons in this COM
munity who are willing to go thru
life month by month and year by
year without knowledge of the
news Of the community in which
they preside. Are you one of those
persons? 1t is difficult to convince
these non-readers of the real value
of the home paper.
Most people subscribe for the
home paper, read it, enjoy it, and
absorb the news it contains as a
matter of course, giving scarcely a
thought to the vast amount of labor
entailed in the production of an
issue. Yet that issue means ire
mendous concentration of thought
and energy and perseverance on
the part of both editor and his en-
tire force of employees.
The work thus represented on an
issue of this paper, for instance,
costs the reader the trifling sum of
two cents. 1t is true the Gazette is
not a big paper but it is the only
one Kendrick has and there is no
immediate prospect for a better or
bigger one.

ALDERMEN AGREE To
RELIEVE POLICEMEN

The Board OF Aldermen Wednesday
night, in special session, concurred In
a resolution asking the Legislature to
amend the city charter so that City
Council may at any time establish
magisterial courts, to be held at the
various police stations, at times to
be fixed by Council
This resolution was introduced by
Councilman Seaton and was consid-
cred by the Charter Changes Commit
tee. 1t was felt by that committee
that such a provision might prove ad-
vantageous to the city by virtue Of the
fact that 1t relieves policemen from
hours of waiting in Police and Hust-
ings Courts pending the hearing of
cases in which they may be interested.
Under this resolution cases may he
called in police stations. The officers
interested may be In attendance, and
the cases may be disposed of. The
officers can then take their rest snd
appear at the appointed hour for duty
In good shape.
The only opponents to the resolu-
ton were Messrs- Christian. Nielsen,
Workman and Adams. Mr.. Fuller
was excused from voting.
The measure will now be sent to
the Legislature to be incorporated in
the general proposition of charter
amendments.
