BINGHAM MEN
LEAVE FOR DUTY

On Wednesday morning, October
3, 81 Of the finest men of Bingham
county, left for American Lake to
enter military training, with the
cheers Of those who had been left
behind to aid in their support, ring
ing after them. There were many
sad partings between the loving
mothers and their noble sons, who
were anxious for the train to come
that they might be on their way ::'
yet down in some small corner Of
their young hearts there may have
been that little tinge of sadness that,
parting with ones dear ones, \even
for a short time, always brings.
Bingham county has every reason
to be proud of her boys who have
gone into training for their country's
sake.
The names of those who reported
Wednesday morning, as officially an
nounced were Henry A. Adler,
Charles H. Farnsworth, Hugh Nc
Neill, Rudolph Sommers, John B.
Wiese, John l.. Hepworth, Arthur J.
Highly, Lorenzo A. Berg, Albert e.
Miller, Johann Mittleider, George R.
Radford, James M. Taylor, Oscar P.

THE PRIZE LETTER

to read, poems like Riley's farm
poems and the current poetry b.
John d. Wells. Give the farm foil
a chance to read Thorea6's, "Th'
Snow-storm," and "Spring at Wal
den," and similar things. Perhaps
their eyes will open to the beauty
of their own surroundings. Invite
them to contribute their own OBJ
servations and ask questions. Yor
know there is positively no printed
information to be had about the
plants or the natural conditions Of
southeastern Idaho and some one is
going to begin gathering it at first
hand soon and you might as well
be the one to do it. You might offer
prize for the best 500 word letter
received during the month and pay
ment for all other letters and short
contributions that you care to pub
lish. The more that you can get
the people themselves to contribute
their time and constructive thought
to your paper the more they'll be in
terested In it to the point of consid-
ering it their own. Then when paw
wants to stop the paper because he
don't like the brand of cigars the
editor smokes, nav and the kids
will protest till he'll be glad to rush
in and pay up his subscription.
OF course, you can't perfect all
these unique features for two issues
a week right away, but you can
work toward that end and continue
and develope the agricultural sug-
gestions, etc. You have the right
plan l think, but must get more CO.
operation among the people them
selves. Remarks by experts are of
value only when the knowledge they
convey has been gained under local
or similar conditions.
Get up ads that will appeal to
the farming population and draw
their patronage. Those quoting de-
finite prices for certain days are al
ways attractive and tempting.
AS to your financial plan, publish
ers everywhere have had to adopt
the "pay in advance, stop at expira-
ton" plan. No levelheaded person
Is offended when the blue Cor red)
expiration slip drops out of his fav-
orite magazine, nor does he blame
any one but himself if he fails to re-
seive the next copy. The business
world is reconstructing itself on the
,ash basis and why should a county
newspaper be an exception. Or you
might fix your price and then dis
,ount it 20 per cent if paid before
! certain date.
, Here hoping success will crown
7our efforts.

At the Beasley farm four and a
half miles southeast of Idaho Falls
they were shown the tuber unit
method Of raising seed potatoes
Each potato used for seed is select
ed with regard to size and form,
and it is cut into four pieces. These
four pieces are planted in a square
of four hills, and when the plants
are grown they are inspected to see
If they are desirable plants. When
the potatoes are dug they are in
spected, and If there are any of un-
desirable size or form the four hills
are discarded. Only the perfect
fours are kept for seed. He has
been following this method for six
years Mr.. Beasley also has some
Dicklow wheat that he has develop
ed till he had 10 acres this year, and
it yielded 70 bushels per acre. Some
other wheat on similar land with
equal advantages yielded less than
SO bushels. The Dicklow is a spring
wheat.

SCHOOLS CLOSE FOR WORK,

Practically all of the schools of
the county will be closed for three
weeks, beginning -tliis--Friday--eVen-
ing, to release the pupils for work
in the harvest Groveland and Taber
schools closed a week ago, and in
grades where the children are too
small for work the school work will
continue.
1t is customary to dismiss school
a week for the October institute, and
this comes within the three weeks
vacation this fall. The teachers will
attend the institute a week, and
those who can will help with the
harvest the rest of the time. Then
when school opens again, school
work will be continued on Saturdays
for five weeks, and at the Christmas
holidays the vacation will be week
instead of two weeks. This will
bring up the actual school work to
what it usually is at the first of the
year.

FARMERS TAKE
JAUNT TO SEE SILOS

. Last Saturday about SO men from
Bingham county gathered at Shelley
and went under direction of County
Agent R. R. Groninger to see silos
and stockfarms near Idaho Falls.
The first stop was made at Mike
Barclays ranch opposite the Black
sugar factory, where there are a
dozen pure bred rams of the Lin
coin, Cotswold, and Hampshire,
breeds, valued at from 5000 to $500
apiece.
Quigg is a new man from Iowa,
who lives two miles above Shelley,
who has hog sheds with windows
to let the sun in, and the bureau
went to see them.
After taking dinner at Idaho
Falls, they visited Jeffres' herd Of
purebred Jerseys Of the Power strain.
He keeps records of the production
of each COW and the per cent of but
ter fat. He advised the farmers to
test their cows and keep records or
go out of the dairy business, for
without the tests they cannot know
which COWS are simply boarding and
making loss.
The hog ranch Of DR.. Wilson con-
tanned about 1000 Duroc Jersey
hogs, about half of which were sows
nearing the farrowing time. At the
Warchow farm was small herd of
very good Holsteins of the Dekohl
strain.
At Johnson brothers farm two
and half miles southeast of Idaho
Falls they were shown two cement
silos each containg $50 tons of sill
age. Mr.. Johnson has also a good
machine. Hhe showed the never
barn and dairy herd and milking
machine. He showed them every
thing and how to operate them, and
said he was making a test for a. !
month to see whether hand milking
or machine milking was the best and
which cost the most. He has AL
COWS in his dairy and sells milk and
cream in town. He does his pump
ing with gasoline engine, and has
pressure tank.
Reardon brothers have a herd of
pure-bred Jerseys and a wood stave
silo. They did not fill the silo this
year because they are going to dis
perse the herd. They stated that !
the silo was not left empty on ac-

The Idaho Republican offered $50
in prizes to the writer's of the four
best letters on how to operate a
newspaper in Bingham county, after
reading the history of the newspaper
business as it has been conducted in
the county for the past Is years.
The history showed a great deal of
dishonest and unbusiness-like meth
DDS on the part of publishers, and a
corresponding retaliation on the part
of the public. The four best letters
will be published in four issues Of
the paper, the following being the
first:

HENEVER CAME BACK

The Methodist minister, whom we
reported leaving Mackay under un-
usual circumstances a few weeks
ago, and whose wife passing thru
Blackfoot assured us he would be
back, has never returned.
His wife went to Mackay to get
some Of their belongings together
that had been left, and the last in
formation we had was that she her
self had lost track of him and was
trying TO- -fnd-where he had gone.

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply Few Drops Then Lift Corns
Or Calluses Off With Fingers
No Pain

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes, will
loosen right up and lift out, without
particle OF pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and is
a compound of ether discovered by a
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle of freezone, which will cost
but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid
ones feet of every corn or callus.
Put few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn OF callus. In
Stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or carius will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or calluseS but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't
have freezone have him order it for
you adv

For behold what the poor cigar
manufacturers are up against, to hear
them tell it. Shipments of tobacco to
Europe have not increased materially
by reason OF the war, but variety
OF other causes" have resulted in

And SO it has simply reached the
