Those in the hospital where / was

One day after battle my Madonna

crowded ward. A great change came
over her at assuming the RESPONSE

minlstrator. Suddenly, when two
nurses Fastening in different direc-

torrent of words not at all in con

His Mistake

By OSCAR COX

NSopyrEht. WI western Newspaper Onion-D
In the hall OF pleasant home In n
lonely western town stood two broth
ers conversing. Cant you make up
your mind to come, John?"
The one addressed hesitated for a
long time, then said, II can't do It just
now. Carl. l know you are right In
going to offer your services to the
United States. but something holds me
back yet"
81 fear, John, 1t is Hulda's influ-
ence."
yes" said John, 81 admit her infiu-
ence."
81 don't understand her." continued
Carl. "Her father is splendid citi-
zen. Her only brother is already at
the front. How can you explain 1t,
Johnf"
"well. you see. Carl, you have been
away from home so long you don't
know about the influence Hulda's
mother exerted over her. From the
time the war broke out she was
strongly pro-German."
Have you confessed your love for
her yetf' said Carl.
"No. but I plan to try my luck to-
day"
The brothers parted with a warm
handshake.
His love for Hulda Brown, an un-
usually pretty girl, was the one great
thought that possessed the mind Of
John Morse. He was willing to make
any sacrifice for her.
He had been backward about asking
her to be his wife, for his great love
made him fearful of himself and what
his answer might be, yet surely Hulda
had given him reason at times to
make him think she had more than
a merely friendly affection for him.
John mounted his horse and in a
couple of hours reached the Brown
farm.
1t was just beginning to get dusk as
he dismounted from his horse and
made his way to a summer house
where he was quite sure he would find
Hulda alone.
All was silence till just as he
neared the spot voices came to his
ear and he stopped almost mechan-
fcally. Ii was the voice of Henry, her
cousin. and, looking in, John saw him
with his arm round Hulda, kissing
her and saying Have good courage,
dear little woman; 1 will be back to
you SOON"
The man near the summer house
heard the words and they were like
stab to his heart. Then, with heavy
sigh, he turned away and remounted
his horse.
The next day John offered himself
for enlistment in the United States
army and soon after entered a train
ing camp, where the busy days and
hard life helped to dull the pain.
AS time passed on Hulda became
day by day more unlike her usual
happy self, till her father, noticing her
pale face and languid ways, put his
wit to work to find something to In
terest her.
The father nsrsusded some Of Hui.

In trying to produce an effect on

children to certain behavior, try

standard of morals, often produce
Numerically contrary effect.
When l was boy remember one
day passing girls school just as
the pupils were starting out to walk
under the supervision of a couple of
as straightlaced-looking teachers as

seven years old, with heavenly blue
eyes, arrested my attention.
A few days later l walked by this
school again. This time the children
were playing in the grounds at recess.
The school was surrounded by high
wall, the only opening being the gate
way.

When / was about eighteen I was
shocked a second time in n similar
manner. But this time the effect was
not so dreadful because / had learned
by my own experience that goodness

scholarship, though I confess there
were other causes for my retrogres-

development of a taste for literature.

Of mine. While waiting for him to
come down to see me someone was

Then came the sad news from the
front. Hulda's brother had been
wounded and was in an English hos
pital.
After little pleading with her ia
Their, Hulda was allowed to depart i'm
mediately for London.
On her arrival she found her brother
so much improved that he was to re-

Uulda, however, determined TO remain
in London and pursue her Red Cross
work
For many months new contingents
of American soldiers had been passing
from the United States to France,
among them the two brothers, John
and Carl.
John soon became conspicuous for
his daring and babe fair to be rap
idly promoted.
In an attack near Ypres during the
night party of American soldiers,
led by John, penetrated lonesome
house. Suddenly they were attacked
by big force of German soldiers, who
poured up from concrete cellar. All
looked pretty blue for the Americans,
but such was John Morse's courage
that he inspired the others, and in a
marvellous hand-to-hand struggle the
American soldiers fought their way
clear of the Germans, not one being
taken prisoner.
In a dugout entered by John he
found one American prisoner, half
starved, whom he carried to the rear.
As he was bending over the man to
examine into his condition, bomb ex-
ploded near by and both men were
hit by shrapnel.
They were sent to n hospital in Eng
land TO convalesce, and while on the
transport John discovered he had
saved the life of Hulda's brother.
The hospital life which John dread
ed was transformed almost into Il par

when their nurse in charge. looking
most bewitchlng in her costume, ap-
peared, and Hulda Brown and John
faced each other in mutual surprise.
John could simply gasp, "Hulda !"
She quickly dropped to her knees be-
side his bed, and looking into each
others eyes, the whole story was told.
Later on she asked John why he had
left her with no goodby. He then told
of what he had seen in the summer
house and the suffering it gave him.

REGARDING DRY FARMING

For several weeks The Idaho Re.
publican has been making a careful
investigation of everything pertain.
Ing to dry farming as 1t is being
done in the Snake river desert, for
the purpose of informing the public
OF the status of great and grow
ing industry, and for the purpose
of passing back to all the dry farm
ers the information received from
individuals among them.
We believe our study of the ques-
tons affecting dry farming has been
the most exhaustive that has yet
been made by any one, and for the
next few weeks our reports will ap-
pear in The Republican in two forms,
Cub Reports" and editorial, setting
forth such information and conclu-
sions on the subject as have never
before been made on the industry
n Bingham county.
Dry farming is an industry and
an enterprise with great future,
and one that will have direct effect
upon practically all other industries
in the county. 1t is now being en-
gagged in by people of all kinds and
conditions, and with all manner of
success and failure. 1t is not fair
to the industry to condemn it be-
cause of the failures that are being
made. Neither is it fair to expect
or hope for success on all theSdry
farms just because some are emin-
emily successful. Where failures
have been made there is a reason
for it, and where men have been sue
cessful it is because they have done
certain necessary acts to give nature
a chance to develop crops for them.
Where men have raised pretty
good crops and still failed, there
were reasons for it other than crops,
and the analysis of all the conditions
affecting success and failure on the
dry farms, as well as predictions for
the future, will be found in this
paper for many weeks to come. Those
who wish the details will find them
on page two, in what the Cub
Says Those who want only con-
illusions and generalities will find

men and women. There were not
many amusements In the valley for
them, and If the fair has bfgadened
their views and their vision, II II
has been an inspiration to them and
left clean sweet memories, then II
has been worth the sacrifice. For
the future there are other things in
the way of amusements, Just now
the chautauqua, and there are other
means of learning how to farm par
excellence, among which are the
newspapers in the home, the automo-
bile for personal observation, the
movies for seeing things of every
land, and the county agent for solv-
ing problems right up to the minute.
Farming in the future will be bet
ter than farming in the past. 1t will
be done without the aid or hindrahce
of the county fair, and perhaps we
shall look back upon that expensive
luxury as nightamre and wonder
why we stood for it so long.

noted that with one or two excep.
lions they came from folks who are

pose Of selling out, and they say that
publishing matters in such detail as
given by this paper hurts the coun-

We know enough about our desert
lands to know that nobody can hurt
them. A full knowledge of the diff
fculties of making money farming
them may hurt the chances for SELL
ing them at present, but in the long
run, a knowledge of how to meet the
difficulties of the dry farmer will
make them salable because of the
chances for making a good living and
some money on the dry farm. We
are going to undertake to tell how
this can be done, but 1t will be pretty
hard on the speculator, great or
small. o-.I-7-
