Competency the Watchword.


 The people of this State have de- mandcd reform in the administration of government and the application of sound business principles to public affairs.
 Our citizens have the right to pro- lection from the incompetcncy of pub lie employees who receive appoint mcnts and hold their positions through relationship or as a reward for par tisan service Consideration should l', given those who worthiiy seek public employment, having merit and ability instead of political subservicncy and family ties.
 Those who arc selected for limited time to manage public affairs are still of the people, and may do much by their example to promote integrity and honest respect for those laws hay ing to do with the improvement and bcttcrmcnt of our social, physical and moral welfare.

No Political Animosity.


 Today the executive branch of our government is transferred to new keeping. But this is still the govern ment of all the people, and it should be none the less an object of their personal interest and concern. At this time the animosities of political strife, the bitterness of defeat and the cxultation of triumph should be sup planted by an ungrudging acquies- cencc to the popular will, and sober, conscientious concern for the general public welfare. Moreover, if from this hour we cheerfully and honestly aban- don all partisan prejudice, class ami mostly and distrust, and determine, with full confidence in one another, to work together, the highest achieve ments and benefits under our form of government can be realized.

Prosperity Assured.

The coming year bids fair to be the
 most prosperous in the annals of our
 State: wages are good, employment
 abundant. and production from the
 fields, the ranges, and the ores from
 the earth, have materially increased
 with good market at splendid prices,
 bringing to us unparallcd prosperity and increased population. The masses
 of our people are better fed, clothed and housed than ever before. The
 facilities for education have been vast
 ly enlarged and more generally diff
 fused. The influence of religion has been multiplied and strengthened. The virtue of temperance is held in higher estimation. We have not attained an ideal condition. Not all our people arc happy, virtuouS and law-abiding, but on the whole, the opportunities offered to the individual to secure the comforts of life arc better than arc found elsewhere. l look hopefully to a continuance of and material increase in our prosperity and the consequent development of our manufacturing and mining enterprises, linking them with rail transportation to our agri- cultural districts, giving to the whole a potent influence in the perfect uni iication of our people. Those who have invested their capital in these various enterprises, the farmers who I have felt their benefit. and those who work in the mine, the shop, or field. ! will not fail to find and to defend or interest.

Sense of Public Duty.

In the discharge of my official duty shall endeavor to be guided by a just and unstraincd construction Of the constitution and the laws of the State, and administer those functions especially assigned to the executive branch of the government without thought of fear or favor.
 I believe it is the duty of those serv- ing the people in public place to close ly limit public expenditure to the actual needs of the State; our rights to extract tribute from the earnings of labor and the property of the citi- zen is based upon the implied con tract that there must be full meas ure of return for every dollar ex- pended.

DRY FARMS AT FUREY

George Schaffer was in from Furey
Tuesday and reported having just
harvested So acres of fall rye that
looks like it would thresh bushels
per acre. He had some spring rye
that was failure. This Is his sec
ond year on the claim and he wants
to get a tractor and break up 800
acres for fall sowing of rye in 1918.
Mr.. Schaffer reports that he had
two cisterns and filled them last
spring with snow water from the
melting drifts, and is still using out
of this supply. He says that Jacob
Gohl, of Furey, has tract Of 8 or
A acres of spells that made a fair
yield and that the grain in the
neighborhood is poor, but not poor
enough to dishearten the farmers.
They are all a long way from water
and rely entirely upon the rains for
moisture,

HoMEsrEADs CAN BE HAD

The editor Of The Republican has
examined some Of the lands adver-
tised by George H. Webb in this issue
and recommends them to the consid-
Grafton of persons wanting dry farms.
The opportunity for securing these
have already taken thousands of
acres of less desirable lands in the
county lying farther from town. and
would undoubtedly have taken these
they had known about them.
The locator, Mr.. Webb, earns the
location fee when he searches out
the good lands, marks the lines and
takes the homeseeker to several Of
the best ones so he can make his
choice. These are probably the best
free lands left in Bingham county.

Matters of
Motorisn1
Noted Medical Adviser Prescribes for
Ill Car

The life and health of a motor car
like goodness in men, is closely akir
to cleanliness, writes DR.. Leonard
Keene Hirshberg of Johns Hopkins
university, in the current issue Of
American Motorist. The sweetness
and purity of its appearance is init
mately associated iwth the length OF
its life, the friction and we'll being
of it's component anatomy. You can
not keep your car too clean or the
shine on its body too we'll plished.
Motorists ere now are familiar
with the axiom, Spread yourself in
oil and save your metal" This is
only the application to the motor car
Of the overworked and age-old allu-
sion to medical advice, "An ounce OF
prevention will save a pound OF
cure"
Among the "don'ts' for the care
taker of a car are these:
Never run the car in the mud if
detour will permit you to escape
it. Mud is the natural foe of ma
chinery.
Never use rough cloths with which
to wipe. clean or polish your car.
Never use an excess of oil or body
polish. 1t collects dust and turns it
into grit.
Never use muddy or soiled water
with which to wash your car.
Never fold the top down when it
is wet.
Never allow mud to remain on a
car one moment longer than is abso-
lutely possible.
Never allow mud, If possible, to
dry on the car. Wash off immediate
ly with cold water.
Never dig, scrape, chisel or shovel
mud from the polish. 1t destroyes
the varnish and paint.
Never use force for any purpose.
A weak solution of soda will cajole
the toughest mud and grease from
the body.
Never dry the surface with soapy
water on it. Rinse all soap and soap
suds off before drying.
Never use any rough-fbered cloth.
Channels skin has a high first cost,
but is cheapest in the end.
Never employ roundabout circu-
ar motion in polishing the car. A
straight Que, back and forth, piston
thrust is what should be used.
Never use hot water on the car.
Wash with cold water.

should be scooped up and deposited
in dry place for the fowls In
winter. Chickens need a dust bath
in winter to keep off the mites, and
they need exercise such as will be
afforded by scratching in this mix
ture Of grain and chaff and dust to
get their feed. Prepare clean hard
floor that can be swept often, and
then dump enough of the mixture on
it each day to keep the fowls in
good condition. Prepare the place
of storage now, and do not wait till
the shower spoils the plan by sprout-
| ing the grain. If you want the
chickens to have little green truck
during the winter to improve the
egg crop, take some of the mixed
grain and dust and wet it, and place
It In q shallow box where there is
enough heat and light to sprout 1t.
! Then let the fowls have 1t to dig
in, and they will eat the tender
shoots and the kernels and repay you
in better eggs. A monotonous ra-
, tion Of wheat will keep fowls alive
all winter but 1t will not keep them
in good physical condition and lay
ing. Frequent changes of diet with
out going to extremes is what they
need.
In operating the thresher, do not
allow the pitchers to crowd 1t and
reduce the speed of operation nor
yet to get behind and let the ma
chine run empty and at high motion.
Either circumstance wastes the
grain, and care on the part of the
pitchers and in regulating the sep
arator If variation occurs, saves
heavy loss of grain. Workmen
should keep these things in mind
and remember that care in the har-
vest is one of the ways of winning
the war. tt

and flowers when spring comes. Let
us make it the loveliest village on
the plains.

expect to capture many more.
When the present supply of pale
green postage stamps is exhausted we
shall have in their stead bright car
mine stamps. The general office in
begins distributing them
next week.
A free bridge over Snake river
