No Danger.

A few days ago well-dressed and very charming young lady hailed a four-wheeler. there being no tau in sight. Just as she was getting in she noticed that the horse seemed inclined to be frisky.
 He was jumping about and swish- ing his tail in way that alarmed her {; she was timid little thing.
 So she addressed few words to the ancient Jehu:
 T hope" she said. smiling bravely. "that you will not run away with me-"
 The cabby sighed mournfully.
 "No, num-" he replied. q have a wife and seven kids at 'ome already I"

 Dr. Far Der was asked how it comas that civilized men, so highly edu- cated aad enj,y.lg the bs3e.lts of supposed higher life, could be so brutal as has been manifcsted Tn thousands If acts by Cerp.ar sol diers in the present carnage in which they are engaged and have gone through.

Appeal to Golfers.

An unusual way of asking golfers for their cooperation in keeping their course in good condition and in re training from undesirable practices is employed by a Cincinnati golf club, which has placed large sign beneath the bulletin board on the first tee of the course. It reads: "Treat the course as though you loved it." Every player Is sure to see the request be- fore starting over the links. A similar sign has been put up at the tenth hole.

Dr. Farber declares. "And yet this is what has been done in Austria. I think matters must be in fear full crisis with the Austrians."
 Rabbi Dr. Farber is an Austro- Hungarian by birth. It is with that part of Austria that he is particular ly interested.
 "The Hungarian diet is ot meet in August, I believe, and 1t is pretty certain, to my mind, Hungary will se- cede; later Austria will sue for a separate peace. The Hungarians al- ways have wanted republic, and I believe they will yet have one.'
 When asked as to what time the Germans became inimical to the United Staes, Dr. Farber vigorously replied: ''The German people never were hostile to the United States. They always looked upon this coun- try as a haven of refuge from op- pression, and admired the liberty and opportunity the poor enjoyed here. When it became impossible for family to survive living conditions in Germany, it always was to the United States that they looked as land of refuge. Winding up their affairs. they came here and became citizens"
 It was suggested to Dr. Farber that the Samoan affair in 1888 might have been the opening wedge for German antipathy to the United Staes, but Dr. Farber said:
 'sNo; I am sure that Germany never held anything against this country for that. It was forgotten, so far as I can ascertain. This anil mostly against the United States. I believe, is due to the German mili- tarists. It is they who have ruined Germany. as all other countries. They are a brutal lot and are the originators of the cry of ''Deutsch- land ueber alles" To their minds, nothing can be superior to this theory.
 sThe militarists of Germany-how hate that system and those who are the fathers of it!" declared Rab- bi Farber. You have no idea what a person the German soldier is. He goes into a restaurant, but will not sit at a table with a civilian Rear ingback in his chair he will curl his mustache upward, and will, by his bearing, announce the words which might be spoken, "lcn bin einer soldat'-'I am a soldier"
 The soldier is distinct class, and he looks with contempt upon the civilians. All make way for the soldier.
 Dr. Farber was sophomore in the University of Strausberg when Emperor William was a senior in 1881.
 'sThe kaiser was at that time most affable young man. states pr. Farber. "He was approachable and kind, as was his father. Little did we students think hc would develop as he has. The university, by the way, has been called after the kali ser since he left that institution, and is now called the Kaiser William H. university.
 sThe German military system Is we'll calculated to develop the kind of demons who occupy the trenches, are being attacked and being taken by the armies of the allies" Dr. Far Der continued. sPrivates enter at the age of 20. Men may volunteer at IS, but when they do so they must be the equivalent of high school graduates before they will be con-

of Ophelia roses. A bevy of friends
accompanied them to the 10 O'Clock
train, on which they departed for an
extended honeymoon in California,
and while there made merry" the
few short remaining moments. In
spite of the thigh cost of living"
rice was used in great quantities,

THRESHER MEN MEET

Farmers all over the county have
been protesting against the high
rates adopted by the thresher men
at meeting held about month ago
in Blackfoot, and County Agent
Groninger called meeting of
thresher men and farmers at the
court house, Wednesday evening, to
go over the matter with a view of
reaching an agreement by which to
make fair adjustment of prices.
When the meeting convened there
were ten thresher men and only
seven or eight farmers. He observed
also, that the farmers who had been
making the greatest noise about the
high prices and had been SO keen
to have something done, were not at
the meeting. Mr.. Groninger is a new
man In the county and he indicated
after the meeting was over, that he
could not understand why the farm
ers did not turn out when they had
SO much at stake and had such a.
good opportunity to get a hearing
and to get action in their behalf.
nv AAOSIAA6 was uOL 0AdCLly a Idll-
ure, for the thresher men were will
ing and anxious to sift the subject
and adjust prices. The farmers were
not there in sufficient numbers to
present showing, either in numbers
or ideas, so it was one-sided. Even
at this one-sided meeting, the price
adopted before was reduced to 6
cents for oats, for barley and 8 for
wheat That is the highest prices
known in the state, and no other
county has announced so high a
schedule.
Regarding the lack of attendance
and the announcements for the meet
ing, the county agent states that he
notified the proper officers of the
farm bureau so the announcement
would be passed on to the members,
and he is curious to know why the
lack of interest, and how the farmers
expect to accomplish things for them
selves if this is a sample Of the way

MYSTERIOUS DOINGS AT
BOISE, IDAHO

A couple of years ago the Boise
club women commenced an agitation
to get Boise people to buy Boise
products and Idaho people to buy
Idaho products. They followed
Heinz's pickle slogan and gave 81
reasons why community should buy
at home or in the market nearest
home. The club women took up the
matter all over the state and pushed
it vigorously, holding Home Prod
ucts' days in many towns to show
home products and to give demon
strations of costs, quality, etc.
Idaho raises great deal of wheat,
and some of it's wheat districts lay
ing claim to being world-beaters are
not very far from Boise the Beauti-
full. In those districts they have all
the celebrated varieties of hard and
soft wheat, dry, irrigated, winter
wheat and spring. and it does seem
that Boise should be able to get any
kind of wheat and flour they desire.
The Boise papers give out the infor-
nation that Boise people are using
-four shipped from good old Kansas,
while shippers of wheat compute the
freight on wheat to the coast or to
the Missouri river, and pay accord
ingly.
From all this it appears that Boise
house wives have had change of
heart about buying home products,
or the quality of Idaho wheat has
suddenly gone down or the supply
has been mysteriously exhausted.
Real estate men in the wheat dis
tricts should investigate and report.
