SELLING GREEN POTATOES

The practice of selling potatoes in
this county while they are immature
and having them go to distant mar
kets has been fruitful source of
loss and trouble Tor those who do
the shipping, and sure means Of
demoralizing the market. Green po-
tatoes slightly bruised and the skin
slipping and parts of the tuber turn
ing dark or black, make a bad pros
pect by the time they arrive at the
retailers. The recoil in the market
swings to the extreme and heavy
losses in the price of cars in transit
result. The prices then offered by
the local buyers go down to bedrock
and long wait sees the supply NOV
ing from other states to take the
place of the unsatisfactory stuff from
Idaho. In this way we have annually
destroyed our market for early pota-
toes, and the time has come for us
to do it again unless we take more
time for the ripening. The price is
good and the temptation great, but
all students of the question agree
that we pay very dearly for the ready
money secured from the first sales.

MAYOR LANDS ON PREACHER

AS a result of the public statement
of Rev. w. R. Jewell charging Mayor
Edgington, members of the police
force and city council with drunk
eness during the Roundup, the feel
ing engendered between the admin
istration and the minister eliminated
in the only logical outcome, in front
of the post office.
On meeting this morning, the rev.
erend gentleman acknowledged the
mayor with the customary salutation,
at which the mayors righteous wrath
boiled over and he promptly knocked
Mr.. Jewell down, giving him what he
considered a well-deserved threshing.
The mayor is naturally indignant
at having personalities injected into
campaign, and took the only course
he deemed proper, with regard to the
totally unfounded charges made by
Rev. Jewell. Idaho Falls Post.

gether in upright, downright team
work and good fellowship in school
matters, and they have done. They
even surprised themselves, and found
pleasure in it. When the trustees
called for voluteers to take the long
trip to Idaho Falls to bring out eight
loads of lumber, men and teams were
ready and did it as cheerfully as IL
it were a picnic in June and personal
expenses of the trip mere privilege.
Nine others took the trip to the saw
mill on Sheep mountain 10 miles
away to get dimension stuff.
Mr.. Reddick says the burden of
establishing the school has really
created a closer unity among them,
and the fine spirit it has cultivated
would be blessing if it becomes so
contagious that it mixes up in all
their other affairs. They are looking
for teacher now, or were last Satur-
day, and none to be had in this or
any Of the neighboring counties. The
settlement in township three south,
40 east, have come to an agreement
as to the location of their school
house, and everything is running
smoothly in the direction of a COM
munity center and place Of educating
the young. Mr.. Reddick would have
told us a lot more interesting matter
about that country and it's people,
but the run of callers at the office
got us separated and the next visitor
from Glenore or township three
south will probably give us the rest.

PROVED NO WATER
WITH WILLOW WAND

One of the old, old stories was
brought into a land case recently
when the homestead entry of J. E.
Ogden, cashier of a Rockland bank,
was contested on the grounds that
water could have been found if he
had drilled well.
Ogden had succeeded in having this
entry designated under the non-resi-
dent provision of law, his petition
showing that no water was available
anywhere on it for domestic purposes.
The contest was made by Daisy D.
Johnson, and her complaint charged
that nearly every homestead in the
vicinity had produced water at a
short depth, indicating that there was
plenty of water on the place in ques-
ton. Both parties produced num-
erous witnesses, and after hearing
all the evidence the local register and
receiver decided that there was plenty
of water, and that Ogden had failed
to make proper inquiries as to the
possibility of getting water on his
place, and they recommended that the
entry be cancelled! An interesting
feature of this case was the quaint
evidence produced to show that no
water was available. The defendant
claimed that he had made sufficient
investigation of the water condition
by "witching" every part of the land
with willow wand. Such wand
is held in the two hands, and if there
is water anywhere underneath the
wand will twist in the hands. 1t is
an ancient device still used to dis
cover the proper place to sink wells
but in this instance it failed to be a
legal proof,

VISITOR FROM THE HILLS

B. F. Reddick was down from Will
low creek the last of the week and
called at our office to report as a
good man should. He said the school
house at Glenore is finished and there
is to be house warming there to-
night, consisting of much chicken
and dancing. He. mentioned that AS
SCISSOR Malcolm is going to be assess
ing in that locality and he will be
there to try waltz or two. James
Hunter and wife and daughter Agnes
had agreed to be there If they could,
and Robert Peterson and Miss Laura
Gaumer, of Blackfoot, had said they
thought they could be there; they
want to see that valley, and this Is
good time to take the whirl Mr..
Reddick says they have some beauty
in the variegated leaves there now.
The willow leaves are red, the aspens
a rich yellow and the pines green,
and nature is full of beauty for those
who can read it. The valley, he says,
is getting to be quite popular re-
sort for camping parties, and thinks
there have been as many as 500
people camped along Willow creek
at time. They take their tents
and camping outfits and camp at any
and all places they like and stay till
they are ready to go on, and have
glorious time, Most of them de-
clare that it is such a delight, they
just have to break loose, to go back
to the hot dusty plains. They wish
that life was all summer. and that
Willow creek pervaded the world and
the twice-a-week mail wagon was
loaded with groceries for sale at high
cost or any other kind. Mr.. Red
dick says the proposed auto road
straight over the range cannot be
built any too soon to suit the folks
who have gone over there for an
outing, and when the rest Of the folks
down in this valley get taste of
the beauties Of the high valleys, they
too, will be hiking over the range
as often as they get a chance.
The Glenore school house Is a

MAIL 1T TO BLACKFOOT

A lady, who takes meals at the
hotels at Blackfoot, has been study
ing the food question this summer
and come to the conclusion that
hotels and restaurants have great
need for things that farmers, or some
farmers, have going to waste. She
says that during the whole summer
she scarcely ever tasted fresh veget-
ables. They simply did not come
to the tables of Blackfoot's public
places. Canned goods were used, and
canned goods are both expensive and
unsatisfactory. She thinks that If
farmers can raise the loads of garden
truck that she reads about in the
farm page of The Idaho Republican,
the aforesaid truck ought to get to
town in some way, and the hotels and
restaurants ought to find some means
Of getting it prepared and put on the
table. a.
OF course not many farmers have
time to stop and pick snap beans and
take them to town and peddle them
out. Not many farmers boys and
girls want to pick radishes and onions
peas, carrots, red beets, sweet corn
and other truck and peddle it about
town. Their time Is worth more to
dad with the main crops, but there
must be some better way than let
ting it go to waste in the garden as
so much of it does, while the public
a few miles away are hungry for It.
There must be some farmer with a
boy and girl who want to have a
business career at home, and can
raise a good garden. They can adj
vertise in the papers and keep people
informed as to what they will have
for sale next week, or they can hunt
about town and engage to supply a
few reliable families. With phone
connections they can agree each day
as to what is to be packed and sent
in the next day by mail. A woman
who can get package of fresh snap
beans from Clara Smiler by mail to-
morrow, ought to be willing to pay
Clara as much as she pays the grocer
for the same weight of stale beans
shipped 1000 miles by express. The
same might apply to several commod-
tiles that people get hungry for. The
trouble about establishing such rela-
lions is that Clara and her customer
are apt to have little surprises for
each other, and they do not come to
a mutual understanding soon enough
to save embarrassments. 1t takes
time and tact and patience for two
strangers accustomed to different
modes of life, to go along with their
little deals and not have one of them
get vexed and quit because the other
failed to match the needs of the day.
We have seen cart loads of delicious
vegetables going to waste on the
farms along the routes of the mail
cart and telephone lines, and young
people on the farms who are ambit-
ious to get into business. The way
to get into business is to make a
start IN a safe and sane way, and
make every deal satisfactory if pos
sible, even by doing more than you
agreed or expected to. A small be-
ginning we'll done and patiently car
ried out thru the little vexations that
creep in, is better than having father
set you up in business where you
may go broke before you can turn
around. Then, when you build up a
business yourself where there was
nothing doing before 1T is success
worth while.

Preserving Foods.

A new method has been discovered.
says an English paper, for preserving
various food products. especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
placing the substance in a sealed ves-
sci or packing case with inert gas, so
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling Of contents by the action Of
the air. In the French patented pro-
cess the milk powder is packed In
metal boxes Of convenient size, which
are entirely sealed except for PIN
hole that Is left at the top. A number
Of such boxes are put In a chamber
and the air Is exhausted by means Of
an air pump. When this operation Is
finished valves are opened which allow
nitrogen to enter the chamber and I'LL
mp the several boxes. When opening
up the chamber the boxes are quickly
removed and the pinhole soldered be-
fore nm appreciate amount of air has
time to enter. In this way the con-
tents Of the boxes are kept In an at
mosphere Of inert gas, and the process

standpoint.
