The Winner Of the Second Prize

The Winner Of the Second Prize
The second prize was awarded ia
Mrs. S. E. Roundy, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. s. Fullmer, of Groyeland,
Idaho. Her maiden name was Cassie
Fullmer and she was born in Utah
county, Utah, in 1890. She was edu-
Gated in the public school and had
one year in high school. She was
married to Mr.. S. E. Roundy in 1908
and they have three children They
came to Idaho. four years ago, to
make home, and have a dry farm
near the government dam on upper
Blackfoot river. Altho they are on
the bottom rounds of the ladder and
have to build all the rest of the lad
der before climbing up on it, they are
studying carefully the road to sue
cess. They love Idaho and believe
In its future and in the future of
those who live here and face human
problems Alright.
Mrs. Roundy gives II reasons why
the article about Mr.. Felt gives the
most help and Inspiration to the
readers. AS you read her statement
see If you don't think ilomesteader
with that kind of a wife stands a
good chance to succeed, even tho
they are what we call broke. It Is
no disgrace to be poor; the reflection
is in staying poor while racing op-
portunity that is not grappled with.
Notice how Mrs. Roundy grapples
with the problems:
Mrs. Roundy's Letter
Can say 1t is problem for one
to attempt to say which OF the many
good articles found in the farmers
magazine section is best.
After sitting thro them find my
self partial to the one under the title
of, Louis Felt; The Farmer Auto
matte.
First: Because in this article a
greater number Of topics are treated
on than in any other one.
Second: Because 1t Is written in
such swapping and to the point fash
ion that 1t is intensely interesting.
Third: Because 1t shows that a
farm run on business principles is
q more independent and just as
honorable an occupation as one can
engage himself to.
Fourth: 1t expresses the exact
sentiments of my own mind in re-
CARDS to farm life. AS a farmers
wife am Thoroughly in accord with
Mr.. Felt in his methods.

cess of our neighbors, but before de-
Gliding to initiate them, think little,
question little, think little more,
and decide whether these remarkable
money makers, these producers of
record breaking crops are gradually
wiping out their debts, whether they
are promptly and sufficiently paying
those who help them to make their
success, or whether their wonderful
yields are padded little, their acre

they are borrowing without interest.

ing house in Chicago once asked the
writer innumerable questions about
his beginning of home in the Idaho

question, And, of course, you have

settler, who has pioneered in Idaho

teeth for years in order to gradually
climb up to few of the comforts
of eastern life and to even dare to
dream of some day pwning-not an
automobile just common little
Ford, the absurdity Of what some
people think of the real possibilities
in Idaho will appeal.
"Do little thinking, that is what
in our southern states is putting
them, in the front rank of states in
the nation, thinking and working is
why some farmers are succeeding,
climbing to well deserved comforts
which no man should envy them.
Idaho today comes more nearly
spelling opportunity than any other
word in the dictionary, but we must
each think out his own way to open
the door to opportunity and success.
THAT article in any magazine is
best which causes me to think, to
wisely put forth the best that is In
me, to build we'll for myself and my
neighbors."

The Writers and Their Writings

The winner of the first prize, the
$40 given by The Cottage hotel at
Blackfoot to induce people to read
and study closely the articles publish
ed in our special edition on farming,
is D. p. Skousen, student in the AL
berta college at Edmonton, the capt.
tai of the province of Alberta, Cana
da.
Mr.. Skouson was born in Chihua-
hua, Mexico, in 1889, and lived there
until 1906 when he went to Alberta.
In the fall of 1912, while operating
a steam 'thresher engine, he had the
misfortune to get his left hand
caught in a belt and 1t was jerked
off instantly and he saw it lying
on the ground quivering before him.
He turned to other workmen and
asked them to stop the engine. Three
of them tainted at sight and he shut
off the power and stopped the ma
chinery and then asked to be taken
to the nearest physician.
His mother was widow and need
ed his support. After his accident
he began studying the law and is now
working his way thru the school men
toned. He came to Blackfoot to
spend Christmas of 1915 with his
mother, Mrs. A. r. Skouson, and
seeing the offer of the gold prizes
he read the paper and wrote the fol-
lowing statement He started back
to Alberta the day the committee de-
cided the contest, but they did not
know him nor he did not know he
had won when he left here.

Electricity for Bingham County:
Do Some Thinking is the best article
in the farmers edition Of The Idaho
Republican. Forget all about the
electricity and what the editor said
about it, but do some thinking. be-
fore swallowing the bait given out
in the pipe dreams of promters.
II repeat it, DO Some Thinking.
Mix brains with muscle, take time
to consider why such marvellous
tales are spread broadcast; tales
with so little truthful foundation
that thousands of settlers who, had
the plain truth been told, would now
be owners of wealth producing farms
and comfortable homes in Idaho, in
stead of discouraged, disgruntled
takers, who have gone back east,
their money lost in Idaho and are
preventing that rapid settling up of
Bingham county which would make
our electrical dreams reality
Inflated promotion, promises Of
wonderful yields and the possibility
of coming to Idaho, buying chunk
of sage brush and in no time becom-
ing bloated bondholders in electric
and other interpretations, are some
of the things which have blighted
Idaho as state and cast shadow
over the Observation-Disclosures we
are doing, that It will take years to-
get out from under.

articles about the wonderful things
our neighbors are doing, which

salt. It Is good to read OF the sue

Somebody Receives a Dollar
Each Week for an Idea
on Home Building

Mrs. Paul Alfred, of Thomas. re-
ceives our check today for the second
dollar in our silver contest. When
the editor was touring the country
last fall finding out what was the
matter with farming, he stopped at
the Alfred farm. Nothing was written
about it, but it was not we'll kept
about the yard. The following con-
fession reaching us in a letter last
week shows that there has been an
awakening and that there will be a
tearing up of old space with the
opening of spring. 1t doesn't matter
so much what the changes are to be,
the mere fact that there has been
some sober thinking and determ-
nation to make as radical improve
ment as possible, is the good point
about the letter. and Mrs. Alfred de-
serves the second dollar. Just to
show how people receive help when
they start to help themselves, we
showed the letter to Mrs. Trego, and
mentioned the old homestead and the
uuaint log house, and she said, II
wonder If / couldn't find a Virginia
creaper that she could trail up over
the side of the house! That old
cabin ought to be made to look very
pretty"
This Is Mrs. Allreds letter and

you can beat that. OF course, you
can. but why don't you? We have
appropriated So silver dollars for
farm plans for 1915, and there are
so Of them left. You might get
all of them if you get busy. If Mrs.
Alfred sends in better plans they will
be considered, and If they are better
than anything else on the desk. or If
they are the only ones at hand, they
will receive the dollar. The money
has to be spent.
