Irrigation Aids FertiIizing.


With irrigation farming it is pos
sible to plow deeper and use larger
amounts of manure than is possible
in other kinds of farming, without
danger of excessive looseness and
drying out of the soil This increased
fertilization will in turn increase the
water capacity, since the organic
matter that is added is spongy and
has a mellowing effect on the soil.
The water capacity should be kept
up, says w. l.. Powers of the Oregon
Agricultural College, so that the soil
will hold the greatest possible
amount of rainfall and irrigation
water received.

spread by contact of the fingers
with the mouth and nose or the
handkerchief, and from the fingers
it can be spread upon such foods
as are not thoroughly sterilized by
cooking, giving rise to an intestinal
form of tuberculosis. Careless spit
ting on the part of a domestic will
result in many of these germs find
ing their way through dust to the
lungs of members of the family
who necessarily visit the kitchen.
Maids affected with tuberculosis
have access to the sleeping cham
bers of the family, and the same
carelessness due to ignorance or in
difference leads to disastrous re-
suits.
It is well known that many cpl
denies of typhoid fever have been
traced to cooks who previously had
suffered an attack of typhoid and
who continued to discharge from
the bowels millions of these seed
of the disease for weeks or often
months. Negro cooks in the matter
of personal habits have rather UNI
enviable regulations and are espec-
tally dangerous when they are car
riers of the disease. They are
careless Of the finger nails or in
the matter of washing soiled hands
and have abundant opportunities
for permitting this foul material
laden with germs to come in con-
tact with the food of the family.
This is especially true in handling
milk, which is almost always drunk
without being sterilized.
1t is well known that the South
has higher death rates from typhoid
and tuberculosis. Some public
health officials, and people who
take a pride in the land of their
birth, endeayor to explain this and
excuse it by saying it is because Of

THE MILITANT CANDIDATE

To use a military figure Of
speech, which is a popular prac-
tice now, Candidate Hughes is en-
titled to rank as Major General
on the "Offensive," but when it
comes to the defensive" he is en-
titled only to the rank of Corporal.
His speeches fairly bristle with
brave implications of what he would
have done, which would have held
Germany, the Allies and Mexico in
meek obedience to our wishes. Yet
with all his bravado he has never
definitely told what, had he been
President, he would have done, when
Belgium was invaded; when the
Lusitania was sunk; would he have
interviewed in Mexico?
If his limitations to the nations
at war and to Mexico should be
as vague and indefinite as the in
formation he gives to the American
people, they could only guess at
what he would do and one guess
would be as good as another. Who
can guarantee that the effect of his
intimated actions and course would
have the effect he promises?
He has not had the simple cour-
uge to tell certain un-American
forces supporting him that their
support of him was not justified and
that he did not desire it. Wilson had
that courage. He had it four years
ago. He has it now.

the high percentage of the negroes
in the population Of the South and
their high death rate. This does
not lessen the Importance of the
public health problem, but rather
magnifes it for the reasons above
given. a white man, woman, boy
or girl dead from typhoid fever or
consumption which came from a
negro infectivc agent, is just as
dead as if the disease had not been
contracted from a white person, and
any work of health reform which
leaves out of consideration, educa-
ton and control of the colored pop
ulation is worse than useless and

VITAL STATISTICS

with large per cent. of its popu-
lation comprised of negroes, has
attracted considerable attention
from the rest of the States that
keep Vital Statistics records and
which have only a small per cent.
of negro population. A resume of
the 1915 Vital Statistics records of
Kentucky shows that there we're
23,541 deaths of white people rec
orded during the year and 5,519
deaths of negroes. The total esti-
mated white population of Kentucky
was 2,115,315 and total colored
population was 249,97O. This gave
death rate of Ill for whites and
22.9 for blacks per 1000 popula-
ton. 1t is very significant that the
diseases of the respiratory organs
are responsible for a much larger
death rate among the colored popu-
lation than the white. The death
rate per 100000 white population
was 144.S and 1912 in the colored
for tuberculosis of the lungs. The
rate per 100000 for other forms of
tuberculosis for white population
was POI and for colored population,
41.6. Pneumonia gave a death rate
of S9.1 per 100000 for the white
and 204.5 for colored population.
Whooping cough gave SO for white
and 1876 for the colored population.
Influenza or la grippe gave 81 for
the white and 1874 for the colored
Diarrheal and dysen-
teric diseases, including typhoid
fever, afford a striking example of
the high death rates in the colored
the rates per 100000
being 27.5 for whites and 1912 for
colored population for typhoid. The
diarrheal and dysenteric diseases
of children under two years of age
gave a death rate of $40 for white
and 41.2 for colored population.
of people aged two years
and over gave a rate of 14.8 for
the white and 22.4 for the colored
population
These facts are of vital impor-
lance to the people of the State
because of the intimate relation of
the colored and white population on
account of the servant problem.
The record shows that for this
year, which is typical of the pre-
vailing conditions, there were about
three times as many negroes afflict-
ed with tuberculosis as whites, as
suming the mortality rate to be of
he same severity. A tubercular
cook in the kitchen is more danger
ous to a family than an unconfned
unatic. In the latter case, upon the
first act of violence, he would be
confined by society. In the former
ease, there is nothing to prevent
such an individual from injecting
each and every member of the
and continuing the pro-
cess as often as she is hired by
other families. tuberculosis spu-

repair and get your moneys worth
twice over IL you can.
Doing without things that you
need is not necessarily saving. You
may be losing money by not having
certain things. That is where you
should have invested something be-
cause it may be one of the things
that will pay good dividends. 1t
may be pencil, frying pan, a
newspaper or windmill That is
where the problem comes in--decid-
ing what 1t Is thrift to buy or invest
in, to enable you to make money or
save money in certain respects.
Thrift day will be observed in the
schools of Blackfoot by having some
speakers from among the business
men Of the town to talk on these
matters in the different rooms and
perhaps some Of them can give ex-
amples of what some of our great
financiers have done by learning the
basic principles of thrift and apply
ing them to their small earnings as
boys, and keeping the seed of for
tune growing until it becomes tree.
Benjamin Franklin, ROBERT Morris,
the original John Jacob Aston, Peter
Cooper, Jay Gould, Cornelius Wand
erbilt, these are some of the con-
spicuous examples of men who ap-
piled thrift and so managed their
small deals when young, as to have
trees of fortune well developed by
the time they reached middle age,
and the same management multi
piled the trees" into forests in their
ripper years. SF
The colossal fortune of the Astors
started by a young fellow studying
up carefully on the price of bear
skins, and investing what he had in
the best bargain of bearskins that
he could find among the trappers
that came to town. Before invest
ing in anything he knew the sub
ject and it's value and where to mar
ket it or how to make it pay its
keep and more If he kept it. Some
of the best literature that young
folks can read would be the history
of how these men got their start
and how they kept it going.

THRIFT DAY
FEBRUARY 3

Next Thursday, the third of Feb
ruary, has been adopted as Thrift
Day." the day to start a bank &C
count if you haven't any. The day
to start to save money If you have
been neglecting it. The savings banks
invite you and the children to give
some attention to 1t for your own
good, and we should be remiss in our
duty If we did not remind you that
the day for this kind of work is
next Thursday, the third of Febru-
airy.

is Thrift Day? Well, that is not
half SO important as to know what
Thrift Day is going to do for you
If you get into the game and study

interested in listening to thrift, that
is proof that you need to listen and

ters that make up the large ones.
II a child has quarter he spends
1t. II he has dime he gets rid
Of it. That isn't the way to get rich.
Get enough quarters and dimes to-
gether and make an investment;
make the investment bring you some
more money, and when you get so
you can play the game successfully
and keep your little pile increasing,
you have learned the basic principle
of making a fortune.
J. J. Hill, the empire builder whom
SO many eminent men like to in
terview and to quote, says: !,
IF you want to know whether
you are destined to be a success or
failure in life, you can easily find
out. The test is simple and infal-
liable. Are you able to save money?
II not, drop out. You lose. You
may not think it, but you will lose as
sure as you live. The seed OF sue
cess Is not in you.
This does not apply to young folks
alone; 1t applies to men and women,
and the fathers and mothers who
have never saved anything, ought
to try to apply this test. It is never
too late to try.
We American waste SO much, we
get the habit, and we throw away
enough to solve a good many OF our
problems. Taking into account the
people who have savings accounts
and the study to save money system
atically, only 108 people out of q
1000 in the United States do that.
France has borne the reputation OF
being the banker Of the world, and
her people from the greatest to the
least are nation Of savers-bankers
on a small scale. Here are some
figures that show how many people
out of each thousand are trying to
be bankers in this respect:
United States has 1913 savers in
1000; Italy has 22S savers in 1000;
England has 302 savers in 1000;
Germany has 317 savers in 1000;
France has S46 savers in 1000;
Sweden has 386 savers in 1000; Bel
GUM has 397 savers in 1000; Swift
zerland has 544 savers in 1000.
Foreigners who visit us for the
first time are amazed at our waste
fulness. The Belgium commissioners
who came over in 1914 could hardly
believe their eyes.

sparks and being left to burn un-
noticed. Everywhere the farms and
residences were divided by wooden
fences that contained enough lumber
to build the homes of an empire.
I'm the country, wasted land; in
the cities, wasted men. On the trees
and plants, ungather food; in the
centers If population, hungry peo-
pei. These are the economic ele-
ments of American life. If any
country in Europe had such bount-
eous wealth. such limitless land erea
fit for cultivation, and such unused
labor energy it would be quickly
transformed into prosperity beyond
dreams. Why, in Belgium, even our
dogs work. Every city lot is cult
waited and most Of our garden back
yards"
If James j. Hill is right, the wo-
men Of America hold the success of
their husbands in their own hands.
If they will make up their minds
that they can save, il they will force
themselves to follow systematic
plan of saving, they will not only
insure their husbands success, they
will do more than anything else can
do to make their country independ-
ent of the rest of the world.
When, after the Franco-Prussion
war, Germany levied that indemnity
of billion dollars; when the long
heavy train, laden with gold, started
on it's journey from Paris to Berlin,
there were those who believed that
France must be ruined by the loss.
Yet within comparatively few
years the nation was more prosper
GUS than ever The men of France
were defeated in 1870; but the ma
ton was saved by the thrift of it's
women.
From this time on the thrift of
American women-your thrift-be-
comes a patriotic service.
That is why the most impertinent
question that anyone else could ask
you on January first is the most
important question for you to ask
yourself:
How much money have we saved?
How much can help my husband
to save this year,"
On the answer to that question
depends your husbands success and
so far as you can influence it
your country's progress.
In the country around Blackfoot,
last fall, were thousands of bushels
Of apples rotting on the ground be-
cause nobody considered them Of
enough value to take care Of them.
Apples are generally good for vine
gar If nothing else, and nearly every
body that buys vinegar now buys |
something that is shipped in from
Utah or Iowa or Pennsylvania. They
not only pay for the other fellows
apples, but also for the labor of
making it, and the cost of shipping,
handling and selling, until it comes
high for us. We lost enough apples
right at home to have "vinegared"
our own population If we had taken
care of 1t. This is only one of a
hundred ways in which people in
Bingham county are losing to the
other fellows. We are doing it be-
cause we have not been trained to
practice thrift. There is something
more to thrift than mere getting up
early and working all day till late
at night. A good days work is the
basis Of thrift, but there is some
thing more to be done. Spend money
carefully when you spend 1t. Buy
good goods when you buy, and then
take care Of them, keep them in
