Former Overseer of the Poor w. j
Clapp appeared and said he had beer
receiving regularly notice from the
Quarry Savings bank that his account
as overseer of the poor had been over
drawn $70.3S and that the notification
was annoying. He explained that when
he went out of Office he cleaned up all
the bills against the department, and
that the overdraft was made then. 1t
was voted that the auditors present a
written report on the matter at the next
meeting.
John Cleary was given permission to
sell toy pistols and paper caps for the
Fourth of July celebration.
A request from eight residents of
Franklin street that sprinkling be dis
pensed with on that street caused the
aldermen to be somewhat incensed not
because the petition was not signed by
all the residents, but because of the be-
lief that they should not be pestered by
such petitions and that the public health
demanded that the streets of the city
be sprinkled. Matters came somewhat
to head a moment later, when a petit
tion, signed by al residents and taxpay
ers of Washington street, presented a
resolution calling for the sprinkling of
that thoroughfare. contrary to request
previously presented from some of the
property owners. The water wagon crowd
declared the conditions on the street on
dry day were almost unbearable," be-
ing both unhealthy and unsanitary"
The petition went on to say that it was
impossible to keep windows open ION
account of the dust and filth which set
ties in our homes"
After hearing the petition, the alder
men designated Washington street as
one of those to be sprinkled. No action
was taken on the Franklin street petit
ton, but it is presumed that the "drys"
will lose out there, too.
On motion of the aldermen the city's
tar barrels stored at the old Wells Lam
son property are to be disposed of. The
report of the police department for the
money of May showed 20 arrests, of
which 81 were for intoxication and one
each for the following offenses: Selling,
search and seizure, breach of the peace,

1T is UP TO THE FARMERS

The Blackfoot Fruit & Potato
Growers association has done much
in the past few years to sustain the
prices paid for produce, and has on
some occasions taken a falling mar
ket and turned the tide upward when
it appeared that it was merely a
stampede to beat the prices down
when there was no necessity for 1t.
The association has been urging the
farmers to join and to stand together
for mutual protection and advantage
but only few have done so. Many
of the farmers bring in potatoes and
compare prices and unless the asso-
citation will pay more than the other
dealers, they sell to the other deal
ers This indicates that they are not
willing to give the association an
equal chance with others, even tho
it has boosted the price to a sub
stantial amount; the others merely
match what the association offers,
and get the goods.
Some of the most active members
of the association have decided that
unless there are enough farmers will
ing to join and buy stock enough to
give it a substantial working capital,
they will dissolve and leave clear
field for all farmers to sell all their
produce to the private concerns and
have no other recourse. What the
farmers do about it in the next few
weeks is likely to settle the suestlon
for a long period. @

with Uncle Sam likely to take a hand

than next September and many
students believe that it is sure to
come to an end the coming summer
This early conclusion of the wal
means a very heavy drop in wheat,
for Russia is understood to have four
crops which will be released to the

Hogs and corn, according to govern
ment experts who have studied the
condition from every viewpoint, are
sure to remain high for the next
three or four years. The farmer who
raises them is sure to make for
tune. With the close of the war
our pork is going to be in great de-
mand in Europe, and particularly
among the nations involved. Ger
many early in the war slaughtered
her hogs by the thousands in order
that the country would not be, COM
PEELED to feed them the grain, so
much needed for her armies as we'll
as her civil population. The short
age of pork in Germany, as we'll as
the other European countries, was
never so great and will remain SO
for several years to come. The sup
ply must come from America. With
his own market, as well as the Euro
pean market to supply with pork for
the next few years, it is plain to be
seen that the American hog and corn
grower is just about going to dictate
his own prices.

PORTNEUF COUNTY BILL PASSED

Senator B. A. Cummings of Ban
mock county who has lost several
measures in the upper house of the
Estate legislature, slipped one over on
his opponents in the proposed d.
vision of Bannock county, by voting
against the creation of Portneuf
county, after having championed it.
He did so in order to be under par

Grafton by voting with the majority.
The bill was reconsidered by the
senate, after having been defeated,
and was passed, the vote being 10
for and Is against, three or four
members not voting.
After the house had unanimously
passed the measure, the senate de-
feated the bill by vote of % to
ia. Senator Cummings Immediately
moved for a reconsideration of the
bill, and the lineup told different
|story.
The Portneuf bill splits some dis
tricts and divides the county south
of Lava Springs. Downey is the
agreed county seat.
The Bear River county division
bill, which takes another section of
the county, with Soda Springs as the
county seat, was introduced and
turned over to the committee on

THE CUB SAYS

Last summer we published some
accounts of the methods of raising
sugar beets by Eugene Hale, of
Groveland, and promised to make a
report on the product Of certain rows
where by the choking of the drill,
the plants had double the usual
amount of sun space between the
rows.
When Mr.. Hale was digging his
beets his employees did not under
stand this matter, and while he was
absent from the field the particular
rows he wanted to weigh were mix
ed so it was impossible to secure the
final infol nation in the test. The
beets with the wide spaces on each
side were larger and more thrifty
looking all summer, and the plan was
to see if beets planted half as thick
in the field would yield as heavy in
the same area as if the usual amount
of seed were used, and the usual
number of beets grown.
What is a Guaranty?
Persons desiring to get absolutely
pure seed for their spring planting
of vegetables should send to some
reliable seed house and send soon
All kinds of supplies are apt to be
scarce this spring, and pure garden
seeds might be no exception. If you
can get seeds of your local dealer
and know that they will be what
they are labeled, do SO, but if you

anty and planted thu m, and have
raised mixed or inferior stuff from
it, what does his guaranty amount
to? If you buy a certain desirable
kind of sweet corn for table use
and pay your good money for the
seed under his guaranty, you spend
perhaps so cents for the seed. You
do $40 worth of work to raise the
corn, lose the season and find that

More Convictions

Jones house joint resolution would
make it possible in all criminal cases
to render verdict on the agreement
of five-sixths of the jury, excepting
in the trial of actions that might re-
suit in the death penalty. 1t would
mean a change in the state constitu-
ton, and if passed will be put up to
the vote of the people at the next
general election. The purpose is to
prevent some friend of the accused
who happens to get on the jury, or
any prejudiced person, who happens
to think differently from the major
ity, from blocking conviction.

If the weed act of the committee
