THE TENNESSEE SPIRIT

All the Tennessee delegation in con-
gress except the Hon. Richard Austin
of the second district who was ill,
marched in the parade, headed by the
President, in honor of the National ar
my. In doing so they represented pref
ty well the solid sentiment of the
State; there are no slackers or reac-
tionaries in Tennessee, and that order
of pacifist who would observe the in
junction to turn the other cheek, is a
rara avis here.
There were numbers of people in
Tennessee who had no burning desire
that the nation should get into the
war. There were thousands of them
who would rejoice to see it favorably
ended.
Tennessee's attitude in respect to
the war has been
Beware
Of entrance to quarrel; but in,
Dcdl tldl Iue OppoSSu may uSNoiS
of thee"
The phrase being in" expresses the
status now. We are there. Our natio
is at war, and there is but one senti-
ment for patriot. We were duly
slow in entering. The government at
Washington at least, did not for a
long time respond to the fiery demand
of the ardent element that we then
called jingoes. But war was finally in
Congress. and both the nations honor
and the nations interest demand that
we fight it to a successful finish. That
we bar it so the opposed may in the flu
ture beware of us.
Tennesseans are of fighting stock
The sobriquet Volunteer State was
won by remarkable exhibition of the
fighting spirit.
The state, little more than CEN
fury old, that produced Sewer, Jack
son Houston, Crockett, Walker, Far
ragut and Forrest; those who fought
at Kings Mountain, New Orleans, the
Alamo, on the battlefields of Mexico,
in Pickett's charge at Gettysburg and
in the distant Philippines; that furn-
ished many more volunteers for the
Mexican war than the government
could accept; that gave 100000 soldier
to the Confederacy and 10000 to the
armies of the Union in the Civil War.
must necessarily have the fighting
quality. lNM
All OF these historical incidents are
trite, our orators and spelbinders like
to dwell upon and repeat them. but
they are nevertheless glorious, and
they are significant.
Tennessee Is ready to do her full
part in the war, and will abide to the
end. She will live up to her record

BROUGHT HERE FOR YOU

A dozen or twenty of the men
of Blackfoot became guarantors for
lyceum course of six entertain
ments to be given at the high school
auditorium the coming winter. There
will be no chautauqua here next
spring, and not many entertainments
during the winter, and the lyceum
course of high class entertainments
was secured to give the best possible
values.
In order to cover the actual cost
of the entertainers it will be neces-
sary to fill the auditorium at each
of five events and have half a
house for the other one. There is
sure to be one stormy night or sbme-
thing else to cut down the attend
ance once, and the committee have
placed the price Of tickets at the
lowest point that would bring them
out even If people fill the house as
stated.
Season tickets will be on sale by

The farmers wife is also a

lures food for fifty million
people. Three times a day she
fires up and cooks for her

But how about machinery?
Is her range modern or the old
fussy, freaky, ugly model of
twenty-five years ago? Is the
range covered with ornaments
to catch dirt? Is it full of
hinges, catches and latches

Eight Minute Wheat

Less than hundred years
ago a bushel of wheat repre-
sented three hours and three
minutes of Labor. Now, with
modern farm tools, it repre-
sents eight minutes labor-a
saving of almost three hours.
The American Farmer was
able to do this because he
scrapped the scythe for the
sickle and the reaper for the
binder, the single pillow for the
gang plow and so on with all
his farm machinery. AS a man
ufacturer, he has put it all
over other manufacturers until
he is the greatest per man pro-
Queer known to the world.

Everybody likes a fellow of de-
cision; especially if his decisions are
sound and he makes them stick.
There is a farmer man at Salt Lake,
who owns a tract of land at Twin
Falls and another near Rupert, and
last spring he noticed that our Uncle
Samuel wanted all Of us to get busy
making two spears Of venture grow
where one had held the job before.
Well, this fellow of whom the
story tells, wanted to oblige his
country, and he proceeded to hire
help to subdue his Rupert tract so
he could harvest lot of stuff in
October. He hired and he fired, and
he lost help that didn't stay long
enough to get fired, and he had help
that agreed to come and didn't, and
he had men and teams that weren't
much help when they did work.
The season was slipping away day
by day and his blowing was not 60
ing on like he wanted it. Salt Lake
men were selling tractors when they
could, and it was hard to find men
who wanted tractors and had enough
money and security to close a pur-
chase without a lot of waiting and
worrying. This farmer man, D. e.
Burley, former general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line,
walked into an implement house,
wearing a red necktie, and chewing
cigar like race horse champing
his bits, and asked all the questions
about tractors that the salesman
could answer in a running fire. and
then he pulled out his check book
and said, well, I want this tractor
and a set Of those plows, provided
you can ship them to Rupert, Idaho,
by express tonight.
The salesman is reported to have
stood with his mouth open for q /
looking at Burley, and then
recovered his composure, got his

THE CUB SAYS

N. j.. Hartvigsen, J. l.. Hartvig-
sen and George Webb, all of Dow
ney, Idaho, prominent dry farmers
OF the Marsh valley country, were in
Blackfoot Tuesday, their mission be-
ing at the land office, where N. J.
Hartvigsen offered final proof on
his homestead.
A rather unusual circumstance re-
garding Mr.. Hartvigsen's homestead
is the fact that he has made it his
home for the past seventeen years,
but is just proving up owing to the
fact that his land was never includ-
ed in the government survey until
three years ago. Prior to that time
or for fourteen years he held his
land under squatter's rights. The
homestead of Mr.. Hartvigsen, as
well as those of ]. L. Hartvigsen and
Mr.. Webb, is located in what is
known as the Danishtown section of
Marsh valley, and these men were
among the pioneer dry farmers of
that section of Idaho. They have all
succeeded. Mr.. Hartvigsens wheat
crop alone this year amounts to
200 bushels. When they first set
tied on their homesteads they were
given six months by the cattlemen
of the valley in which to starve out,
as farming by any other method
than irrigation was unheard of and
considered impossible. The secret
of the success of these men is
using approved and time-tried dry
farming methods, which includes
carefully following the summer fall
lowing system, early fall seeding,
frequent cultivation both before and
after seeding to conserve moisture,
and choice of seed which seems
best adapted to the soil of their To-
cality.
