FRIENDsHIP-SAVOR OF LIFE

Take care of your friendships! In
youth they are the flip to the daily
round of existence; in middle age
they solace the regrets of maturity;
in the evening of life their cheering
influence robs age of it's bitterness
and smooths the way on the last
long journey.
DISTINGUISHED friendship is as beau
tiful as it is rare. 1t is the pearl
of great price whose ownership ele-
Yates the pauper to affluence because
the rich mans money can purchase
him no more, and the lack Of 1t re-
duces the enjoyment Of riches to flu
tility because loneliness respects
neither wealth nor power. Its basis
is cordial, tolerant affection passing
the love of woman. 1t is neither
strengthened by prosperity nor inn
paired by adversely. 1t survives
against SANDER and misfortune, and
vanishes only when confronted with
evidence of treason to itself. 1t is
the nearest approach to divinity this
sordid world can achieve.
To friendships there is no royal
road. for their acquisition there is
but the one method. He who would
have friends and keep them must
be worthy of them, because friend
ship is at once the strongest and the
weakest bond among men. Tho 1t
withstands the combined assaults Of
all exterior influences, and the waves
of calumny beat in vain against it,
II ia not proof against treacherous at
tack by it's object. Friendship Is SO
humble no greater return than friend
ship is demanded and SO proud no
lesser reward will. be accepted. With
in itself lie pafadoxically together
the sources of it's strength and the
seeds of its dissolution.
Prove your friends, then cleave to
them! In failure they are stimu-
liant to renewed exertion; in success
their pride and pleasure are the
sweetest fruits achievement bears. In
the lap of sincere friendship the re-
wards of effective labors, or the dis
appointments of abortive efforts, may
be placed with equal confidence. TO
him who gamers a reserve of faith
full friends the future is secure but
for the misanthrope, there can be no
happiness here or hereafter. The
brand of Cain brought no greater
curse than isolation.

TABER


(Too late for last week)
Mrs. Ella Mcconnell visited Mrs.
Siesser Thursday.
The Baptist parsonage is complet-
ed and now occupied by the pastor.
J. T King drove into Taber on
Monday to catch the evening train to
send his daughter, May, off to the
high school at Blackfoot after her
holiday vacation at home. He re-
ports his little son Omar very i'll.
Henry Lemke came in to spend the
New Year at Taber, but returned on
the Monday evening train to Poca-
tello, which he claims is more inter-
esting than Taber.. 1t is his first
complaint of loneliness at Taber, so
we draw conclusions.
A. F. Willecke is loading out an
other car of Taber's best wheat, and
at the top price. According to our
arithmetic this is the tenth car OF
grain shipped from Taber this fall
and winter.
Ralph Siesser left Tuesday for
Pocatello. where he has work in the
shops as boiler-maker's helper.
In6rH Is SOulO L6llh VI "a OSIAAo -

parents, the Killians, near Taber.
Mr.. Gill, of Idaho Falls, was down

THE NEW YEARS FAMOUS DEAD

The death list of any one year
bears comparison with that OF any
other. The list of the eminent who
passed away in 1915 is not longer
or shorter that that of the previous
year. When we think OF the huge
roll of the slain of all ranks among
the belligerent nations of Europe IT
seems small in proportion. The
aged Emperor of Austria naturally
heads any list of the years eminent
dead. Carmen Sylvia as the departed
Queen of Roumania liked to be cal
led. happily died before her coun-
try's sad affection Death has taken
away many authors, notably Eche-
garay, the Spaniard; Verhaeren, the
Belgian; Henry James, Richard Hard
ing Davis, James Whitcomb Riley,
and Jack London.
Journalists Of wide repute who
passed away were George w. Small
ley, Horace White, and Paul Leroy
Beaulieu. Perhaps the last Two
named mi.ht better be described as
publicists, but they honored 1ourna-
lism my their services to It, Amerl-
can art suffered immeasurably by the
deaths of three of our famous paint
ers. HI. M. Chase, HI. w. Ranger and
W. G.. Bunce, while the dramatic
STAGE lost Mounet-Sully. who was still
practicing art, as well as Ada Rehan
and Salvini,, who had retired from
public view long before they died.
Clara Louise Kellogg, once famed on
the operate stage, had long peen
silent We may class Percival Low
ell, Hiram, Maxim, Metchnikofr, ana
Sir William Ramsay among the SCI
entists the world has lost this year,
though they were not all the same
rank. In their respective fields Jo-
siah Royce and Hugo Muensterberg
left no easily recognized successors.
Seth Lows death was great loss
to this community, while, John D.
Archibold, Sir Joseph Beechman, who
spent wisely the vast fortune he made
in pills and Hetty Green were a..
mong the wealthy persons whose
death illustrated anew the warning OF
the Apostle. Many more OF the dead
of 1916 were distinguished Tor their
valiant or noble services while they
lived. A complete list is out OF the
question. but much fuller one than
can be given in thesef ew notes OF
comment will be found elsewhere In
The Sunday Times. One word about
Victoriano Huerta, however, cannot
be spared. His later years were fuil
of trouble for himself and others.
He actually accomplished little, but
he was the direct cause OF much
activity that will be duly and, we
hope generously recorded In history.

him off with club. Saturday morn
ing there was a blood stained trail

nine-year-old son was run over by
a wagon loaded with potatoes
and nearly scalped, and he had
about Is acres of beets frozen
in the ground. Still Mr.. Winterbot-

WIRELESS WAVES CARRY
MUSIC FOR PRIVATE DANCE

A novel dance was given recetly
at the home Of wealthy New Yorker
who is an enthusiast on the science
of radio telegraphy and telephony
Theodore e. Gaty and his two sons,
with the aid of a radio engineer,
caused music for dancing to be trans
mitted on the waves of air from
Highbridge, on the north end OF
Manhattan Island to their home in
Morristown, N. N, distance OF 40
miles, and even the announcements
Of the man serving the photograph
could distinctly be heard in every
part of the Gaty house.
To show how clearly the sound
carried, Mr.. Gaty called up the house
where the music was being played on
the photograph and the operator
heard it clearly after it had passed
40 miles by wireless and 40 miles
back by ground wire telephone.
The discoveries of Edwin H. Arm
strong, of Columbia University, In
radio telephony, and devices he in
vented made this wonder possible.
A sound amplifier was used which
multiplied sounds IL to 18 times.
I The de Forest Radio Telephone
and Telegraph company at High
bridge is now making it practice
to send out wireless music broadcast
upon the air to be picked up by any
amateur in the science who has the
proper apparatus. 1T has for some
time been prediction that music
would be finally transmitted from an
opera or concert to any point where
the receiving apparatus was set up,
and make great artistic musical per-
formances possible to multitudes OF
people Music will then be as univer-
sally heard as drama is now seen on
the screens.

ON LOOKOUT FOR
BEET NEMATODE
Pest Has Played Havoc i'm Sugar Beet
Fields of Europe

While the sugar beet nematode Is
not known to have invaded Utah to
any great extent. 1t is reported to
have been so prevalent in some sec
lions of Europe as to be serious
menace to the sugar industry. Its
eradication, according to specialists
of the United. States, department of
agriculture, may be brought about
by rotation of crops every four or
five years.
The sugar beet nematode is an ex-
ceedingly fine, threatlike, colorless
creature, so small that, except under
certain conditions, 1t cannot be dis
covered by the naked eye. When
first Matched the eggs find their way
to the nearest rootlet, force their
way into it and proceed to feed upon
the plant juices, This ultimately re-
suits in the production of charact-
eristic dense mass of rootlets, a con-
dition which in Europe is described
as hunger roots" bearded roots"
hairy roots" etc. In severe cases
the beet itself is stunted. and re-
sembles the root of celery plant.
For this reason it is sometimes call
ed celery root"
The first evidence of the trouble
is noticed in the change of foliage.
Toward the end of July or early in
August the infected areas become
lighter in tint, the leaves Of the af-
fected plants droop until they lie
prone upon the ground and do not
recover during the night. The outer
leaves become yellowish, spotted and
generally discolored. Ultimately they
wilt and die. The inner leaves fail
to reach their normal size and may
die. In severe cases the entire plant
is destroyed and sharply defined bare
spots are left in the beet fields.
