The Gem worker and the Idaho labor herald. (Boise, Idaho) 1914-1917, 1916-11-09

1t is not difficult for the average
reader to recall the fact that the ex-
press companies have made strenuous
pleas before congressional committees
and in the press Of the country that II
the government established parcel
post system it would result in the con-
fistication of their property and that
they would be compelled to abandon
the express business In view Of that
extraordinary claim the following is
interesting.
A 400 per cent increase in operating
income of the interstate express COM
panies during the fiscal year of 1916
over the fiscal year of 1913 was re-
ported by the interstate commerce
commission. The figures were $l0,-
$4,000, against $2,556,O00 A total Of
S175.000000 was collected during the
year as express charges.

Mr.. Editor:
| deeply appreciate the strong
endorsement given me by the
Democrats of this Judicial Cir
cult at the Primary Election
held on the first day of this
month. l take it that the splen-
did vote given me means, that
as the servant of the people l
have, in their judgment, dis
charged my duties as nearly ac-
cording to their pleasure as any
other available man would be
likely to discharge them.
I thank the members of my
party most heartily, and sincere
ly promise the people that, if
elected in November, 1 will con-
sclentlously perform the labors
of the Office, asking God for wis
dom.
l make this statement espec-
tally in view of the fact that l
made no personal canvass for
the nomination.

MachpeIah Cemetery.

NAdCAlpcldAl
Lexington is a beautiful old,
aristocratic, y-and-got-a
-right-to-be town; and well may
her citizens be proud of her.
But there is one thing about
her that is shameful, and that is
the city of her dead. Permit
me, dear citizens, an interested
visitor in your town, to tell you
this. The other evening / wan
dered out across the bridge of
signs" into the Sleeping City"
And, say now, folks, all tlowery
language laid aside, your grave
yard could be made a beautiful
place, one where you could move
easily say goodbye to your loved
ones; for Gods own beauty of
nature always softens grief.
How can you rest in the shade
Of your cool verandas and watch
the fountains playing on your
closely clipped lawn, when the
last resting place of your dear
ones is over grown with rank
weeds and poison vines, where
at any minute one fears of step
ping on a loathsome snake?
You don't say, 81 told you so,
the sexton dosen't take proper
care of it." For let me tell you
he is not the guilty one. That
white-haired old patriarch, who,
in the heat of summer and the
storms of winter, patiently lays
your dead away, is himself griev-
ing because the ward looks so
uncared for; and through the
long hot days, he wrestles with
the grass and weeds. But what
can one man do when there is
so much to cut and the grass
grows so fast? Why don't he
hire it done? you say, He hasn't
got the money. Each lot owner
of the cemetery is supposed to
pay one miserable dollar a year
to the sexton for 365 days of
caring for his lot, two dollars if
he cuts the grass twice during
the season. These few dollars
are handed to him one at a time
whenever the spirit prompts
some good brother to do it, or
are obtained after repeated re-
quests, or worse yet, are entire
.ly forgotten or overlooked by
the debtors, yet the faithful
guardian of these graves is Civ
ing his time from early morn
ing till late evening for what T?
A dollar perhaps to-day, another
maybe in October, a few dollars
in December, perchance for a
grave dug last March, etc. How
can he pay a man or men to help
him keep the cemetery beauti-
full? Folks, how easily you
could remedy this! Simply pay
the sexton of Machpelah ceme-
terry a salary sufficient to enable
him to pay the help necessary
in keeping it clean, well-cut and
well-watered. Then you need
not remark in a deprecatory
manner, as you drive your
friends through, ut could be
such a pretty place."

To Make Apple Jelly 4JeII.n

1t is just about as easy to make
jelly from apples, ounces,
peaches, or pears as from any
other kind fruit, if you know
how, according to Miss Addie
d. Root of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. All that is nee
essary is to add enough trataric
or citric acid to the juice to
make it taste about as sour as a
good sour apple. This usually
means about a level teaspoonful
to a quart of juice. 1t destroys
the delicate flavor of peach and
pear juice somewhat but i'm
proves the flavor of sweet apple
and ounce juice.
Blackberries, blueberries,
raspberries, partially ripe grapes,
crab apples, sour apples, and
plums usually make good jelly
because they have enough acid
already and also contain a sub
stance called pectin which must
be present and must be brought
out with the juice by heating if
jelly is to be made. That is
why jelly-makers do not sim
ply press out the juice from
cold fruit. All apples and similar
fruits have enough pectin for
~jelly-making purposes.
In making apple jelly, cover
the fruit with water before
cooking and boil twenty or
thirty minutes. After boiling
has continued ten or fifteen
minutes, add about t~hree-quar-
tiers of a cup of sugar for every
cup of juice. The sugar that
will be required should have
been measured into a pan and
warmed in the oven for a while
before it is added. It should be
carefully stirred in to prevent
burning.
AS soon as the glasses are fill
ed with the hot jelly they should
be set in a cool place while jell-
ing takes place. They should be
sealed from the air but if the
jelly has been slightly overlook
ed, it may be covered with panes
of glass and allowed to harden
in the sun. When it is we'll set
pour hot parraffin over the top
and put clean tin copers on the
glasses. Store them away in a
dry, cool place where the Jelly
cannot mold.

Profit Sharing Kept the Boy on
The Farm.

Some farmers have had diff
Guilty in keeping help on the
farm even after they have gone
to the trouble of raising it.
Home grown labor is generally
the best if it is given the right
encouragement.
One Missouri farmer who is
cooperating with the Agricul-
tural College in keeping farm
records has decided that he can
afford to pay his son 25 per cent
of the net profits from the farm
for his work. The young man
has worked under this plan for
about four years and has never
failed to clear as much or more
than hired hands wages be-
sides getting his living, the use
of a team and buggy, and hav-
ng the privilege Of profitable
employment near home.
It takes a profitable business
to make such a plan attractive
to either proprietor or laborer
but it stimulates good manage
ment on the part of both.-R. M.

Experiment Station.

Oregon Onions Are
Reported Sold to
East at $l.5O Cwt.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 3.-While the
Confederated Onion Growers associa-
ton is still naming $l.25 per GENITAL f.
o. b. country points for No. l onions,
it is reported that $3.50 has been paid
a Beaverton grower for a liberal sup
ply.
The purchase is said to have been
made for eastern shipment, Coyne
Bros, of Chicago, being the alleFr
buyers. If this is true it means that
the big movement of Oregon onions
expected to go to the east has already
started.
President Fanno, of the Confederateu
Onion Growers association, states th'
he has no knowledge of the $3.50 sale
but does not consider it improbable.
"There is every likelihood that onions
will go to SO GENITAL in the east this
season." he says, "and this will enable
our growers to sell at liberal profits

prices.D

Justice Lamar Dead
Heart Failure Cause

Washington, Jan. with Associate
Justice Joseph r. Lamar, of the su-
preme court dead, politicians turned to-
day to speculation as to his successor.
Included in those mentioned for the
post was Secretary Of the Interior
Lane.
Lamar died last night of heart fail
ure. He had been in i'll health since
September when he suffered stroke
of paralysis. Death, however, was due
to heart failure.
The justice would have ended five
years service on the bench had he lived
until today.
He was a native of Georgia, So years
old. In the A. b. G.. mediation confer
ence at Niagara Falls, he was one of
the administration representatives He
was of n democratic turn of mind and
beloved by mis- friends.
Officials in Washington anticipate
that the president will nominate a
democrat to fill the vacancy in order
to avoid change in the present party
lineup of the court.
In addition to Secretary Lane, 9th
er names prominently mentioned are
those of Secretary Of War Garrison,
Secretary of Agriculture Houston,
Joseph Folk, Solicitor General John w.
Davis, and Frederick Lehman, who
was one of the United States represen-
tatives at the A. B. C. conference in
