BEWAREOF
THE COURT

Beware of the kankaroo court in
it's session Saturday night, for unto
it all are to be brought who use to-
bac in any form, and without being
asked if they have anything to say,
they will first be asked if they have
anything to chew. Denying the
charge, they will be asked if they
have any chewin' and spittin', and
upon answering in the negative they
will then be interrogated thusly:
"Smokest thou anything smokable at
divers times and places?" and upon
answering falsely he will then and
there be cast into outer darkness,
but upon answering truly, the court
will say, when thou hast anything
to smoke, come hither and deposit
all of it in the urn, and until that
time, be on the outside seeking the
finest brands at the several places
where abide the venders."

REPORTS FROM THE HILLS

Settlers who have come down from
Glenore lately report that most of
the wheat winter killed, and that
the gophers have been making much
havoc with what was left. Most of
the settlers gave up in despair early
in the season and have gone to the
valleys to work in the beet fields and
hay fields.
County Agent R. R. Groninger re-
turned recently from trip into the
country about the Blackfoot reser-
voir and said he found good many
settlers still on their places but very
badly damaged by the gophers. These
little animals cut off the grain and
suck the sap, leaving the whole stalk
on the ground. Each gopher slashes
down a lot of stalks before he makes
a meal or gets all the sap he wants,
and the settlers are making a sup
RENE effort to kill them off with
poison. Mr.. Groninger held meet
ing where 16 farmers got together,
and he taught them what he could
about mixing and using the poison.
Reports from Presto bench indi-
cate that the dry farm crops are con-
sidered a failure.

BACK FROM THE HILLS

Joseph Coumerilh returned the
first of the week from trip 10
Cranes Flat where he and his sons
have stock ranches. He reports hav-
ing completed % miles of fence on
their ranches and grazing lease, and
says the feed has been very rich TINS
year. A good soaking rain at any
time soon would keep the grass In
fine condition till the cool weather
of autumn and would insure fat
stock thruout the season.
Mr.. Coumerilh says great deal OF
fencing has been done on leases, ana
that the Southeast Grazing assocla-
tion. successor to the Bonneville as
sociation has 10000 acres leased,
and that the sheepmen are moving
their flocks to the forest reserves ana
leaving the cattlemen in possession
of the lower grazing lands, and tnat
the range is in good condition:
When asked as to the condition OF
the grain crops, Mr.. Coumerilh SAID
the crops are failure but that many
Of the dry farmers are still on their
claims making the best of a bad sit
uation.

AS THE WORLD STANDS

The chief actor nations in the
world play of war this week shook
themselves, and a number of changes
happened. In the days lime lighted
circle brilliant names have shifted
place, and new names appear in sew
eral parts. Hollweg loses the chan
cellorship of Germany. Michaelis, a
minister of finance, succeeds to the
critical seat. In England, Sir Ed
ward Carson has relinquished his
lordship of the admiralty; Is follow
ed in that post by Sir Eric Camp
bell Geddes; Winston Spencer
Churchill becomes minister of NUM-
tions.
The Russian cabinet is split over a
land question Of the province of
Ukraine. Four members have re-
signed their portfolios. Two demon
strations against the government
went>so far as to cause an exchange
of rife and machine-gun shots. The
affairs were short, and crisis may
be averted. The Films are on the war
path, refusing to loan Russia cer-
tain sum of money for war purposes
and demanding complete independ-
ence.
In the meantime Austria appears
to be appealing dumbly for some
means of being separated from the
unpopular Germans. France saws
wood in the Champagne district, cap
turing German trenches for con-
siderable length of line. In Galicia
the Russians report continued sue
cess and enormous captures of men
and munitions.

HELP PITCH THE HAY

If we were all as cheerful and
energetic about helping our brother
of the farm in his time of need as
five Blackfooters (who came back to
us Sunday evening patriotically bat
tered and stiff then would the ma
ton escape much turmoil of labor
shortage, spelling crops, lost produc-
tion and cross questioning among the
people.
The place, Springfield; the farm
w. R. Leach's; the proposition
pitching hay; the rescuers, Judge
Anderson, DR.. Hudson, Jim Martin
and two of his men from the G. W.
& M. The day consisted of fun, tor
ture, rough house, fish and feasting
The time was Sunday.
They let Doc Hudson drive
There's no use in having a dentist
down on one. They started out in
style so fine that all pitched as tho
it were a contest. Judge Anderson
pranced to the off side of load that
Jim Martin had chosen to spend his
burly energies on, and continued to
try to keep up. In the afternoon
the Judge also drove.
At noon all hands Joined in gen.
eral tumble, down by the river, and
all threw each other in. At 5 O'Clock
they knocked off" for fishing
hour, all but the Judge. He sat
around at the house. He probably
had some severe law problem on his
mind, and with the Judge it's always
business before pleasure. Doc Hud-
son did so much work driving that
team all day and sweating in the
sun that he lost the biggest fish OF
the evening simply for not being
fresh enough to pull it out Of the
stream. This story he don't tell. He
swears that to get him into the farm
ing game would be like pulling teeth.
But these good men were patri-
otic and they piled, or stacked, some
20 tons of hay just at time when
it had to be stacked. If their ex-
ample would only make good with
the other men Of the town, the
churches might suffer, but the era
of brotherly love would be quite a
speck nearer at hand in Bingham
county.

HILLIARD AND TOLMIE
TRAINING AT Ell PASO

Ell Paso, Texas, is not a paradise
Of green trees, clear lakes and rich
shade, but Fred Hilliard adm Donald
Tolmie are completely acclimated,
and being used to the sand, the wind
and the heat, they are as happy and
cheerful as you please. They don't
mind being Sammies at all. Their
department is the electrical engineer
ing corps. Fred is brushing up on
telegraphy and may be transferred
to the signal corps. Camp life agrees
with him, but he is losing some of
his hair, and will soon have high
forehead like his dads. He writes
that the sand is sharp when the
wind blows and full of fleas when
all Is quite. He sent up pack Of
snapshot photographs, recently,
showing the boys in the various out
door occupations of camp life, all
looking robust and we'll content.
They spend some Of their leisure
time planning on how they will re-
ceive the rockies" soon to bedraft-
ed, and they seem to take deep
satisfaction in the contemplation.
