which was opened that day by the

quarters formerly occupied by the
postoffice on Santa Fe avenue. The

early morning until late at night,
a large majority OF whom made pur-
chases. while others came to inspect
the new store and its enormous
stock, and to sample the offerings
prepared by the tea specialist and
the pure food expert.

Honew Dews Make Great Record

J. f. Gauger, of Swink. and the
original Luther Burbank OF Otero
county through his development of
that most popular brand OF canta-
loupes known to fame as the Honey
Dew" was in town last Wednesday.
and made the editor OF the great
family journal a Thanksgiving pres
ent of a choice crate OF hisr famous
brand OF cantaloupes.
Mr.. Gauger shipped his last car OF
Honey Dews to the Chicago market
yesterday, which made total OF LIZ
cars for the season, from the Arkan-
sas Valley. He made a great record
with these cantaloupes during the
past season, averaging SIPS per
crate net for the $4,000 crates mar
keted. Carloads averaged about 425
crates to each car, or 1880 crates
shipped to eastern markets, and with
the local shipments the total number
OF crates marketed was in the
neighborhood OF 10000. with a net
revenue OF s62.5OO.
Prices averaged quite well during
the season, ranging from si00 per
crate. down to $l.25 per crate. the
latter being the local market price.
There was a very decided slump in
the price received for Honey Dews
in the eastern markets about the
middle OF September. caused by some
OF the more eager growers shipping
whole carloads of green stuff" and
. Honey Dew that IL not ripe In even
more tasteless than . raw pumpkin.
Mr.. Gauger made an effort to main
tain n very high standard for all the
Honey Dews shipped by him. and
when the slump came in September
had twenty-five carloads placed in
cold storage In Chicago. Later on in
the season they brought good prices.
30 that the average maintained for
the season was Sl.25 per crate.
Besides the revenue from the can
taloupes shipped. Mr. Gauger has
more revenue In sight which will be
realized from 5000 pounds OF seed.
fo~ swh4esfsRrowers next season will
be quite willing TO pay fabulous
prices, In order to get in on a good
thing. The price quoted at the pres

Gauger has already made num-
ber of contracts at this figure. Mr..
Gaueer had about 100 acres OF Honey
Dews In the Arkansas Valley so
his net revenue from the melons
and seed will be in ,he neighborhood
OF $500 per acre. which will be doing
quite well for just an amateur Luther
Burbank.

bull Moose Couldn't Forgive the
Chicago Convention. Says
EmIpOrin Gazette

EmI'oria Gazette
This is republican country-in
spite OF the fact that the President
and the congress are strongly and
partisanly democratic, and soon we
shall have a democratic majority in
the supreme court and the lower
federal courts. The republicanism OF
this country is indicated by the fact
that majority of the states outside
of the solid South elected republican
governors and republican lcgisla-
lures. and an overwhelming major
! ity of republican local officers.
In 1884 the mugwumps elected
/ Cleveland. In 1916 the independent
vote, largely Bull Moose, elected
Wilson.
They buried the Bull Moose with
bullet in his heart last June. but his
ghost got into the ballot box. and
President Wilson may thank his
stars that the Moosers gave him a
second term. Yet he and they have
mutually a low opinion of one an
other.
ln,y why did they vote for him9
Why was he elected?
Mixed motives governed more or

summer and shrewdly nominated

about as seriously as the same group
offended the country four years ago.
The republican convention stasnated
enthusiasm. After It adjourned no
one cared much what happened. So
1t happened.
Then the President. who Is the
most adroit and skillful manipulation
OF public opinion who ever has sat
In the White House. played a wise
hand. He kept harping upon the al
truistic note. He insisted upon dis
cussins economic measures. aud he
had laid the ground for the discus
sion by forcing n number OF impor-
tant and largely progressive meas
ures through congress.

Form New Party on Peace, Pros
perity and Prohibition.

Atlanta, Ga, April 22.= A de-
fensive alliance of all countries of
the western hemisphere was pro-
posed by Senator Lewis of Illi-
nois, speaking tonight before the
Atlanta Bar association, as the on
" means by which the United
States could avoid early conflict
with countries of Europe and
America
Such an arrangement would
carry with it new doctrine of in
ternational law" said the senator,
ordaining that any country viO-
lating the fundamental rights of
the republican form Of govern
ment and would be punished by
the combined ordained resent
ment of the whole western hemis-
phere."
In statement issued tonight
Senator Lewis predicted that an
other political party, founded
on peace, prohibition and prosper
ity," Immediately after the re-
publican and democratic cOnven-
tions. Neither Of the old parties,
he said, could afford to take any
sort of action in international af-
fairs which would show Europe
that the coutry is not backing the
administration 3 policy.
He expressed confidence that
the majority Of the voters would
approve the present foreign pol
icy.

EXTREME CASE OF PARTI-
IAN PREJUDICE.

It is not true, as alleged by Re
publican leader Mann of the
house of representatives, that the
president never has been neu-
trail. " 1t is not true that 'swhat
he said about Germany is grossly
exaggerated /" 1t is not true that
tthe president, as a campaign POI
litieal dodge, is trying to work up
to a point where he can get into a
war with Germany during the
presidential campaign.
In advancing these accusations
Mr.. Mann has lost his pOise and
judgment and has been swept
away by the torrent of his parti-
zanship.
The SpOkesman-Review has
been impelled by a sense of duty
to differ from President Wilson
on some issues. 1t has spoken
against his free trade doctrine
From the beginning it pointed out
that he was laundering with Mex
leo. But it has never impugned
his honesty of purpose or queS-
toned his patriotic desire to con-
tribute to his country s welfare.
It is shocked by Mr.. Mann s
brutal, unwarranted attack on the
motives of the president. In thus
charging Mr.. Wilson with mon
strous villany the Republican
leader discredits himself, Injuries
his party and renders i'll service
to his eountry.-Spokesman-Re-
view.
And The Spokesman is quite
right IN its criticism of Mr.. Mann.
When one becomes so blinded by
partizan prejudice, he becomes
useless as the representative of a
free people. The matter over
which Mr.. Mann took occasion
to vilify the chief magistrate is
national, and it was no time for
any one with the proper love of
country in him to vent his spleen
against the man chosen by the
nation to handle any such situa-
ton In his outbreak, Mann dis
played streak of the peanut pol
ifician

A HELPFUL VACATION.

Next time you take vacation
plan not only to have an enjoy
able outing, but make it worth
while. Bring back with you real
benefits that win tend to cheer
you through the following season
of work.
If we look into the matter care
fully we viii find that most per-
sons counterfeit the good effect
Of their rest and recreation by
some sort of body abuse, usually
stomach abuse In other words,
it would seem that most persons,
to have a good time, must be over
eating or overindulging in some
way. When our oyerworked bu-
siness man goes on a vacation he
selects a hotel or resort where the
"eats" are abundant; if he goes
on a fishing trip, a bottle or two
and a good supply of tobacco in
the fishing outfit win rob the trip
of much of the real benefit. It is
no wonder that so many men have
not had a vacation in ten or TWEEN
ty years and still remain well and
strong.

On persuaI Of the article, else
where in this paper, summing up
the official figures on Idaho state
lands, one is disposed to wonder
why in the name of horse sense
such condition is allowed to con-
tinue for a moment longer than
the proper laws can be made to
change it. The state has 1881, 400
acres of land. From this and the
n, 468 acres it sold last year was
realized during the year 1915
$685., 57S, or less than Is cents per
acre. And this figure covers all
leases, sale and rentals. If this
land was all in the hands Of pri-
vate citizens surely is could be
made to produce more than an
average of IS cents per acre, and
the state could certainly realize
more than this in interest on the
money it would receive through
the sale of the land, and, further,
the land would be sharing its part
of the general taxes, and fewer of
our people would be enticed to
other localities to secure cheap
and-and so on and so forth.
Why does Idaho carry this dead
weight, anyway
