BOOSTER MEETING '''--"-'=-=s===
AT CITY HALL

Friday morning at 10 o'clock
about twenty of Blackfoot's business
men met at the city hall to discuss
the matter Of doing some community
advertising for the purpose of in
creasing the population of the county
by getting people to come in fropa
bother places and states.
Pm. Parkinson stated thatS4huch
of the aivgrtisfng ~tlfat mad been
done for that purpose in former
years had been wasted for the reason
that the money had been spent by
individuals for individual bosts or
puffs about their own business, such
as special write-ups in the Deseret
News at holiday time, and that no
homeseeker is interested in any in
dividual business in this county, but
he is interested in finding out where
he can make a good living by reason
of the resources of the country. He
said the benefits of increased popula-
tion go to all the people of the coun-
ty and especially to the Spectator,
the real estate agent, the owner of
lands by reason of the advance in
values and the producer of anything
that sells better as more people be-
come customers for 1t.
Mr.. Parkinson said that advertis-
ing to be effective must be placed
in the newspapers where the home
seekers are to come from, and there
must be some one named in the adj
vertising for people to communicate
with or to go to when they arrive in
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-11-27

the new community seeking homes.
There must be somebody to follow
up with personal letters to persons
who write for information. He pro-
posed that the county farm bureau
and the civic league work together
on the task and have the county
commissioners appropriate $4,000 as
they had been doing for the fair,
have the city supply $500 and have
the business men who had been sup
porting the fair turn as much to this
new effort as they had done for the
fair.
James Duckworth stated that the
county had already employed a
county agent and spent the money
vt had hitherto been putting into the
fair, and that the business men had
ndt donated to the fair. They. had
SIMPLY bought admission tickets and
advertising space in the premium
lifts.
I Editor J. R. Jones stated that
caldwell has secretary of the COM
mercial club to whom they pay
$4,000 a year and that results OBJ
tanned have convinced the people
there that he is worth it. He said
Caldwell is raising $4,000 for the
present or coming year for publicity
work. He suggested that we have
a committee to communicate with
him and with Joel Priest and Charlie
Arney, who are engaged in this kind
of work, and see what recommends
lions they would make for situa-
ton like ours. Mr.. Jones was of the
opinion that just now while not
many communities are working on
these things is good time to be
pulling for more settlers. Our
large farms are short of man power,
and necessarily many of them need
to be cut in two by selling parts.
Attorney w. A. Beakley stated
that If some committee would formu-
late plan to work by and say how
much money they wanted for carry
ing out the plan he was ready to put
in his share and await results.
A committee was appointed con-
sisting of R. H. Clayton, e. G. Bills
and Editor ]. r. Jones, who will re-
port to the next meeting of the civic
league.

LITTLE DANGER OF
OVER-PRODUCTION,
MARKET HEAD SAYS.

East Lansing, Mich, May lst.-Far.
mers who are refraining from planting
maximum acreages to crops because
they fear over-production and low
prices, are making themselves the VIC
Tins Of needless worry, in the opinion
OF James N. Mcbride, state director Of
marketing Prices at harvest time, he
declared today, are practically certain
to be high enough to insurea good re.
turn on crops, and particularly on
beans, wheat and potatoes.
There need be no fear Of over-pro-
duction OF potatoes" said Director
Mcbride in an official statement. "The
high price and the scarcity Of seed are
the natural limiting factors. In the
older sections of Michigan, and over
the United States as well, where the
total are is largely made up Of small
areas outside the special districts, the
planting will be very limited. In most
districts the regular field crops are be-
ing planted, and the surplus of pota-
toes over the amount required for
home use, must come from sections
where the crop can be grown rs a
speciality.
'The probability that beans will be
in excess of IS a bushel, and wheat
around 81, will enormously increase the
consumption of potatoes over normal.
A fair price to the grower under pre-
sent conditions would approximate 81
n bushel, or at least the English scale
OF 78 cents minimum.
During the Civil War, the farmer
who had the nerve to grow crops esta-
blished himself financially. Assuming
a preponderating crop, and nature in
her most lavish moods, there is equip
ment at hand to dry potatoes and con-
serve the supply. Plans of beet sugar
manufacturers to utilize their pulp
dryers to dry potatoes were well in
hand for 1915 if the crop of that year
had been like that of 1914, when pota-
toes failed. These same plans will be
carried out in 1917"

SOULS ENTRANCE INTO BODY
Matter Over Which TheoIogians Have
Differed Since the First Time .
Theory Was Advanced.

DR.. Austin O'Malley of New York
has Just revived the ancient discus
sion concerning the moment the hu-
man soul enters the body. In an ar
ticle In America he contrasts the two
opposite theories: (1) That OF Aris-
totle, that the soul Is infused about
the fortieth day, to which st. Thomas
Aquinas, st. Anselm, st. Alphonsus
Liguor and most of the medieval NOR
alists and theologians adhered. CD
That the entrance of the soul Is stimuli.
taneous with the fusion Of the single
nuclei In the two parental germ cells,
to which most modern embryologists,
physicians and moralists give their
adhesion.
Cardinal Mercier and some other
great theologians cling to the Aristotle
lian. theory today, basing their belief
on the idea that not until the body
takes actual human form is the
breath of life" breathed into 1t and IL
becomes "a living SOUL"
But Doctor O'Malley and the embry-
ologists hold that the earliest embryo
Is human being, therefore body
with a human oul.

Company "I,'
Wants Recruits
Local Committee Appointed To
Accept Enlistments.

Recruits who offer themselves for
service in the home company OF the
33rd Michigan Infantry which is in
active service, can now be accepted in
this city, examined by surgeon, and
transported free of charge to the pre-
sent company station. The plan by
which this result can be obtained has
been worked out by the War Prepared
ness Board of Lansing which was dele
gated by the last legislature to look
after all questions of this nature.
A committee consisting of Lieut..
Balch, chairman, A. E. Cross, Sergeant
James Gidley, Rev. Robt. Sidebotham,
r. o. Bisbee and Atty ID. l.. Wilson
has been appointed by Governor Sleep
er to act for this city and vicinity.
Men desirous of joining the colors may
find members of this committee any
time during the day or evening at Elec-
trio Light Office, Gidley Drug Store,
Peoples State Savings Bank or Atty
d. l.. Wilson's office. They will be
given preliminary physical examina-
ton by the following local physicians
who have volunteered their services to
the State and government for this duty:
Drs. Dicken, Vardon, Parks, Risk and
Ramsey.
Recruits who are found to be physi-
cally fit will be forwarded by military
transportation. The committee will
also wire Capt. H. l.. Winters of the
hour of arrival so that arrangements
can be made for feeding, lodging and
uniforming the new men. All who are
interested are urged to call up any
member of the committee for additional
information.
Men who come into the Federal SER
vice at this time have an advantage
over those who may be drafted later.
They can be with the organization from
their home town and share in the COM
forts which will be sent to our COM
pany. They will be among friends
from the start. Chances for promotion
are much better under the circum-
stances than in a company recruited
from all over the State at haphazard.

A COMMUNICATION
FROM OUR
AGRICULTURAL AGENT

To the People of Emmett and Charlie
voix Counties:
During the past week | have dis
tributed several thousand leaflets
through the supervisors and teachers
of the two counties. From the replies
already received | believe there is a
wrong impression as to what the state
is trying TO do in this work. So far as
knew at present the government is not
furnishing seed free or otherwise. But
desires to know where seed is to be
had; also where there is lack of it and
then bring those that want seed and
those that have seed together.
do not believe the farmers want
charity as it is almost certain that they
will get good returns for their labor in
high prices for foodstuffs which are
likely to prevail this fall. The banks of
Emmett and hope the banks of Charlie
voix have or will do the same, pro-
fessedly stand ready to loan money at
a reasonable rate of interest and under
reasonably safe circumstances. 1t is
necessary that the banks should re-
quire security in certain instances be-
cause we who deposit with them wish
to feel that their investments and loans
are placed with a proper degree OF
safety.
There may be a few who cannot
furnish such assurance or security as
may be required in this particular in
stance and who could plant if provided
with seed. If there are individuals who
are willing to aid such people | will be
glad to hear from them.
II will be impossible for me to answer
personally all that apply but will have
to use the papers of the counties to a
large extent.
Yours truly,
Geo. A. Kilborn,
State Agricultural Agent,
Emmett and Charlevoix counties.

LIME RECOMMENDED
AS HELP FOR CORN

East Lansing. Mich, May 3rd.-
Judicious spreading of lime over land
intended for corn is suggested this
spring by the Michigan Agricultural
college as move which would tend to
increase crop production over what it
has been in the past.
Corn responds somewhat to lining,
according TO the soils department Of the
college, and farmers who'plan to ap-
ply lime this spring will find it helpful
to spread it upon plowed land under
preparation for this crop. Mari or
ground limestone may be applied at
any time without danger of injuring
the plants, but caustic forms, like hy-
drafted lime should be applied few
days before seeding. One and one
half to three c. bic yards of mari, one to
two tons of ground limestone, or 500 to
1000 pounds OF hydrated lime to the
acre are amounts commonly used.
A good fertilizer for corn planted
after q manured sod on medium to
heavy soils, is one containing a high
percentage of PHOSPHORUS, preferably
acid phosphate or soluble bone meal
E ther of these fertilizers may be ap-
piled at the rate OF about 200 pounds
per acre. When corn does not follow
sod, and barnyard manure is available
for this crop, an excellent plan to fol-
low is to apply the manure as top
dressing after blowing, and thoroughly
disc it into the soil.
Potash is practically unavailable at
present, but for corn on muck land a
complete fertilizer of two parts nitro
gen, eight parts phosphoric acid and
two parts potash can be applied at the
rate of 200 to 300 pounds to the acre
with profit.
On sandy land the need for manure
is greater than on heavier soils. An
application Of a soluble phosphorus
fertilizer, to the amount of about 200
pounds per acre is advisable. II is
doubtful, however, if potash will be
/ profitable on these soils under present
conditions.

ASK PASTORS TO AID
in CROP CAMPAIGN.

East Lansing, Mich, May 1st.-Here
are few texts from the Scriptures
which the farm crops department of
the Michigan Agricultural college sug-
gested today to Michigan pastors as the
basis for themes in the interest of in
creased crop productions:
"The Parable of the Sower, "
Matthew 1888, applicable to the prepar-
alton of seed beds for this seasons
crops.
"The Laborers in the Vineyard" +"
Matthew, 20:l:l6, apt in reference to
the present labor situation.
"The Mustard Seed" Matthew 1881:
80, exemplifying the Importance to the
world of this seasons crops.
1.-THE Barren Fig Tree" Luke S:6:9,
concerning the giving of proper atten-
tion to fruit trees, and so on.
Barley-Kings 4:28; Ezekiel 40,
Isaiah 2S:24.
Onions-Numbers 1:5.
Wheat-Joshua SILL.
Tares-Matthew 1924.
Beans-II Samuel 1928; Ezekiel 40
Isaiah 2S:25.
America, as the Egypt of the world,
Genesis, 41:46, the story of Joseph
supplying his brothers with grain from
Egypt's store houses, it was additionally
pointed out, would afford a timely
illustration of the importance oil
America today in supplying grains and
food for all the world.
The appeal to the pastors is being
made by the college in the hope of en-.
listing the support Of the clergy of the
state in bringing home to the people
the necessity for increased production
by farms and gardens. and of conserv-
ing food supplies in the home.
Along with President Wilson, the
college believes that a sermon on thi.
theme from every pulpit in the state
will go long ways towards awakening
the public to the pressing food need.
of the world.

Local Speaker
Wins Again
High School Representative
Successful in District Contest.

In the district oratorical and declama-
tory contest held at Traverse City last
Friday evening, REQ Bockes, repre-
senting the local high school, won first
place in the declamatory contest. He
used the same selection with which he
:. won the sub-district contest at Harbor
.prings, "Spartacus to the Gladiators"
ynd did even better work than before.
The speaker representing the first sub
district was Richard Haven of Muske-
gon high school who gave "The Un-
known Speaker" The second sub
district was represented by John Muir
ray of Cadillac who recited "Opportun-
ity."
The contest was judged by Supt. l..
L. Tyler, Commissioner Lee Hornsby
and Matt M. Connine, all OF Traverse
City. In the decision OF the judges
Bockes received two firsts and one
second, Cadillac was second and Mus
kegon third.
In the oratorical contest which was
held the same evening Muskegon re-
ceived first place and Manistee second,
although this decision has been pro-
tested by Harbor Springs, their con-
testant having failed to reach Traverse
City because of a misunderstanding as
to the date.
AS winner OF the district contest
Bockes will now represent this district
in the state contest which will be held
some time in the near future.
