Thousands Of Acres at Stake

Circular 523 has just been issued
by the General Land office at Wash
ington, d. c., promulgating the regu-
lations under the stock-raising home
stead act. This circular provides
that all persons hwo have heretofore
filed applications for homestead en-
tries under this act shall be required
to amend same, and the petitions
for the designation of the lands
under this act must also be amended
to comply with the requirements set
forth therein. Copies of this cir
cular are being mailed by the U. s.
Land Office at Blackfoot, Idaho, to
all persons who have filed stockrais-
ing homesteads.
Any additional homestead applica-
ton under the stockraising home
stead act (640 acre homestead law

for great distances along the streets.
This would not have occurred had
the water been moving under the
ordinary conditions of consumption.
This compels people to go to the ex-
pense of hauling water in wagons for
the rest of the winter and for so
much of the spring and summer as
will be needed for laying new water
mains. To the cost of pipe insult be
added the cost of digging trenches
and laying new pipe and some of this
will be thru macadamized or cement
covered streets, where the expense
will be very heavy. These expenses
call for a bond issue with it's addi-
tional expense and interest charges.
All of these things combine to make
grand total Of penalty which the
people pay for the coal famine.
1t is reported that the water pipes
froze and burst in and about 500
homes in Boise.

THE "RURAL" EDITORIAL

Speaking of weekly publications
and editorial work Of the country
editors, the Spokesman-Review says:
1T is the very sort of work which
rural papers ought to undertake. If
they would but devote themselves
much more than they do to the critic
ism of national, state and local af-
fairs, they would greatly increase
the value to their communities. The
number of country weeklies in the
United States is so great, that such
an attitude and course on their part
would contribute immensely to rails
ing the standards of society and pub
lie life thruout the nation. The Ken
nebec Journal, when Blaine edited
it. was a country weekly, Augusta,
Me-, its home, being virtually viii
lage. but it exerted great influence
thru its editorials. Another case in
point is the Lewiston (Maine) Jour-
nal, when Nelson Dingley took hold
of it, for then it was little more than
a country weekly of two rural
towns

UTAH LAND FILINGS
MAY BE REJECTED

On account of charges duplicating
grazing homestead applicants in
Utah, which are to be presented be-
fore the April term of the federal
grand jury, according to report,
many filings are being held up and if
the applicants are as charged con-
spring to obtain vast tracts of land
by fraud they will lose their chances
for the land.
So far the filings at the Blackfoot
land office are apparently regular,
and no hitch is anticipated in their
completion. The amendment reuuir-
ing homesteaders to allow freedom
of further mining claims on their
grazing land is to be signed by all
applicants. They must lay no claim
to the ore deposits in their land, nor
interfere with the movements of
prospectors looking for it.

A COWBOY, A LIARIAT
AND A DARING FEAT

OGDEN.-Dashing thru the bust
ness section Of Ogden, a runaway
horse attached to light buggy own
ed by Benjamin Henstra, threatened
the lives of scores of people on the
streets until Earl Houles, a cowboy,
who had come in from the range
near here to have his horse shod,
leaped into his saddle and at break
neck gallop made after the runaway.
AS he gained on the horse Houles
uncoiled his lariat. Whirling the
rope about his head just as the run
away horse veered to one side in the
direction of a group of pedestrians,
Houles let his lariat sing thru the
air. The moose settled over the mad
dened horses head, and as Houles
brought his own horse to a dead stop,
the lariat frightened, and the runaway
was jerked back upon his launches
thoroly subdued.
AS he led the runaway back to its
owner, Houles was given an ovation
by scores of people who witnessed
his exhibition of Craftsmanship.

RAILROAD REWARDS
IT'S WORKERS

Owing to the higher cost of living,
many of the railroad and other pub
lie service companies are paying
their employees something extra to
cover the inequalities of the times,
and the Oregon Short Line is paying
its employees for IL months work
in the year 1915. The checks did
not reach them within the year, as
it required some time to adjust the
accounts after the close of the year,
and when they receive their February
checks they are accompanied by the
extra pay. Agent w. L. Young in
forms us that the bonuses paid to
the Blackfoot people amount to
about $4,000. The bonus applies
only to those who were with the
company turnout the year.
Carry Life Insurance Too
The Short Line also carries life in
surance for it's employees to the ex-
tent of one years salary, varying
from $500 to $4,000. If an empoyee
is i'll or meets with an accident he
receives the sick benefits up to the
limit of his insurance. This applies
to all classes of employees who have
been in the service one year.

ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA.

Catherine was the daughter Of humble tradesmen and as child gave evidence of her pious leanings. It is said of her that when but seven years old sho would recite a prayer on each step as she mounted the stairs. At about the same age, &C., cording to ancient chronicles, she is said to have taken a VOW or virginity, and afterward endured bitter perse cution because of her refusal to marry, At the age of 1 5 she became a member of the Order of St. Dom inie, and devoted herself to prayer and charitable works. Catherine lived in thep eriod of thed arkest history of the Roman Catholic church and her most noteworthy work was her defense of it's cause. Armed with Papal authority, and accompanied by three confessors, she travelled through Italy, reducing rebellious cities to the obedience of the Holy See. Through her efforts, also, Pope Gregory XI. was brought back to Rome from
 Avignon, where he had been a virtual
 prisoner. She was the counsellor of Urban VI, and sternly rebuked the disloyal cardinals who had been re- sponsible for the election of an ''anti- pope" She died at Rome in the year
 1880, at the age of 33.

POLES

Produced by Allen Holubar there is all the beauty, youth. snap and vigor that usually predom- mates. In addition there are wonder fuf photographed scenes of storm, boundless expenses of sea and beau tiful women disporting themselves in and along the rock-strewn cliffs of the tropical waters. It is Ver1taole scene of the Lorelei.
 Other added features in vaudeville are "In the Trenches" reproduction of sights and scenes in No-man's-la the defense of soldiers against the at tack of Zeppelins, rapid-fire guns and brilliantly bursting star shells.

ETIQUETTE

When travelling. man meets a wo- man he knows it is pleasanter for both to go into the dining car togeth- CT, but he should allow her to pay for her own meal.
 MT. X-The girl you took to the dance behaved in a very ill-bred man. ner when she hid herself in a dim corner and spent half the evening there with another young man. It was a most improper proceeding and was impolite toward the young man to whom she had promised dances and it was positively insulting to you for her to show such marked prefer ence for the others society. How ever, the only thing for you to do in the circumstances was to 'grin and bear it." You should have been most punctilious1y polite throughout the evening-or that portion of it which she permitted you to share with her.
 Mrs. B.-The guest at your lun- cheon who called your attention and incidentally that of the other guests-to her torn napkin was sadly lacking in good manners. She should carefully have arranged the napkin so that the torn place would not show and have used it without allowing any one else to become aware of it's condition.

LYRIC

Known to the civilized world as a writer of clever stories, Irving Cobb reached the height of literary success when the Saturday Evening Post be- gan publishing his Back Home" sto- ries. The plots are all laid in the Sunny South, and as MT. Cobb is a Southerner, he speaks from a direct knowledge of the people that he uses as his characters. This is especially true of the adaptation of his stories by Bayard Veiller, the author of within the Law and 'The Thir- teenth Chair" who has preserved the characteristics of the delightful peo- iple who are ptcturizad in "Back Home" The play carries with it all of the daintiness of manner, the ut most in chivalry and the wholeh-eart- ed earnestness of love that are so characteristic of the Soutnerner.
 One of the strongest situations ever staged is in the last act, when the old Southern circuit judge goes on the witness stand and defends the char acter of the son of his old comrade in the civil war. the plea that the judge makes to the jury Is a master piece of artistic phraseology. BacH Home" will win many new friends for the Poli Players, besides further endearing themselves to their numer' ous friends.

COUNTRY BOYS
 AND EXERCISE

We hear great deal about the high percentage of defects among the country boys, and in that connection we are told that the country boy has the advantage of more exercise than thee ity boy. Having grown up very close to the soil and knowing first hand a very great deal about the life of the country boy. I shall not att tempt to contend against the argu- ment that the country boy has an abundance of exercise. I shall con- tent myself in that regard simply by saying that it is generally not the right kind of exercise for the grow | ing boy. His work is exercise, of course, in the dictionary interpreta- | tion. But it is something more. It | is laborious exertion, carried on usually to the point of exhaustion. And that means depletion and the breaking down of the physical system rather than physical development and upbuilding.
 If you take the trouble to investi- gate the subject thoroughly enough. you will find that the large percent age of defects found among the coun- try and the farm boys, is due to a livery great extent to over-strain and over-exertion at tender age, or at least before they are matured. For instance, the high per cent of rup- tured among the boys of farms, and among men who grew up on farms, is due to their lifting weights, as in load ing heavy grain sacks onto wagons and in hadling heavy machinery without knowing how to perform the effort scientifically, or how to protec themselves from undue strain at cer tain points.
 That is one valuable service whicl the instructors in physical education could do for the country boy in thu
 rural schools-to teach him how t
 use his muscles to the best advantag
 at his tasks, and especially how t
 avoid over-strain in his work.-(Sen
 ator Warren G. Harding on ''Nationa Health Conservation in Decembe
