all New England, making the honor one
of which any girl may be proud. The
prize was a generous one of the same

by the Battle Hymn of the Republic,
sung by A. S. Trundy and chorus. A
short address delivered by MIR. Martin

Part second of the program opened with
Keller's American hymn, Angel of Peace.

WHEN AND HOW TO
MOVE WHEAT

w. J. Ramsey, the "Pa, and Tote"
man of Firth, has lived a good while,
and has seen a good deal of human
operations, and when we asked him
Friday to tell us something Of the
reasons why there is an embargo on
wheat shipments, ad when the situa-
ton is likely to be relieved he said:
well, everybody was asked to
raise wheat this year and people have
done it. The price is fixed, and
there is no incenentive to somebody
to hold it. Heretofore there has al
ways been the element Of speculation
in it, and some people preferred to
store their wheat. Some sold part
of 1t and stored the rest Some fed
wheat to the stock and nobody cared.
Some people bought wheat to specu-
late on, for there was a chance to
make big profits.
"This year it is different. We have
about nine-hundred million bushels
of wheat in the United States, and 1t
is all thrown on the market. OF
course there are not facilities for
har ding it all at once. There is

STUDENTS NIGHT BECOME
DETECTIVES

Children do not like to be sland-
cred any more than do other people.
If somebody's children do wrong it
should not reflect upon all the rest
of the children in town, but it does
reflect upon good many who are
not at all to blame for it, just as it
reflects upon a whole town to have
some charged with a crime. The
Youngsters of Blackfoot are under
slanderous reports just now that it
might be we'll for people to give a
few minutes thought to.
When family moves out of a
house and it happens to be left un-
locked or airing for day or two,
and the owners come back and find
that somebody has been in and COM
mitted nuisance all about, as Ger
mans are charged with doing in fine
houses in the conquered districts OF
France and Belgium, the house
owner naturally lays it to children
in the neighborhood, and some OF
those circumstances are being men
toned just now, constituting the
SANDER referred to above.
Hotels always maintain some kind,
of wash room for guests. Some no.
tells keep very finely equipped wash
rooms, and cheeky people who are
not guests in the house ften go in
and make free use of them. Some
hotels watch this kind of trespassers
and make it known to them that they
are overstepping their rights and
imposing upon the house. Other no.
tells stand for good deal OF imposi-
ton without saying anything, for
they consider that the good will or
ill will of the public makes a differ
ence. Some do not care for the i'll
will of spongers if they have to be
imposed upon to hold it. SpOngers
are generally ingrates anyway, and
their ill will is worth about as much
as their good Will.
A hotel manager in Blackfoot has
discovered that spongers are making
use of the Mushroom and something
is nearly always out of order when
they leave. In addition to that the
soap is gone. They wash and clean
up and carry off the soap. He has
been studying up the personnel of his
visitors and has concluded that some
of the offenders are high school
students. That is not much Of re-
Election on the schools. 1t is more
of a reflection on the homes, and the
homes are not all at fault. The no.
tel man did not ask for any publicity
on this matter. He does not know
that the Republican is telling the
youngsters that somebody is reflect
ing on the whole town by their con-
duct. II you find out who the Of
tenders are and set them right be-
fore they get dragged into court it
will save us the necessity of publish
ing who they are and what happened
to the min court. You know how
cheap the man felt about the box OF
pears last week? The hotel man
might rather donate some soap than
to have it stolen.

GROVE CITY KANSAS

Down in Kansas they have town
named Grove City, and the editor of
the Advocate of that place communi-
Gated the following message to his
readers:
Stationary printed at this office
is giving the best satisfaction. Last
week we printed 500 statements for
a man and by their aid he collected
a fortune. Two months ago man
bought of us some note paper and
envelopes to use when writing to his
sweetheart, and now he is married.
Another man forged a name on a
check printed at this office-and is in
Jail. Another stole some Of our
paper with which t make cigarettes
he is dead. A young lady bought
some paper here to curl her hair on
and now she has beau. eve
only have little Of this left.) BY
using our statements person can
collect old accounts, tell fortunes,
have teeth extracted without pain, be
successful in business and get elected
to office. Give us call.

their own on the following condi-
lions: When the animals are
turned over to the farmer he becomes
responsible to them for the value Of
their present weight at cent per
pound. The owner of the cattle
agrees to buy them back the first Of
April at II cents per pound. Mr..
Austin in his address explained about
the amount of gain that can be ex-
pected per animal and showed that
the farmer would have a gain of
from $40 to SIS per head on the
animals at the end of the time. He
advised the farmers that if they were
going to buy animals and feed on
their own account not to buy scrub
stock as they would not prove to be
profitable He urged the INTO buy
good animals and not to hesitate
about taking animals already fat as
buying the fat ones at 8 cents and
selling them for II cents was safe
transaction, and buying animals not
fat, but thrifty, would enable them
to put on fat rather more rapidly
and thus make greater profit. Mr..
Austin urged the farmers to think
well over these matters and to act
promptly If they wished to make for
themselves winter employment that
will pay them fine profits. The
farmer who takes one car load of
steers on this plan may safely ex-
pect to make upwards of $1,000 be-
sides adding to the fertility of his
land. The syndicate supplying the
cattle managed in this valley by
A. J. Stranger of Iona, whose address
is Idaho Falls, r. F. d.
Persons desiring to keep cattle
only sixty days will receive 2 cent
a pound for the gain in weight, or
II they keep them over sixty days
1t is computed on the basis Of 2 cents
for sixty days and a quarter Of cent
for every two weeks thereafter.

ALL
Permit us to say to you folks that
while Johnny is at the front or as
near the front as he can get while
you are watching the dispatches and
yearning for results and for glory
for him. there is great opportunity
opening wide to the folks at home
to learn large things these days, and
to act upon them. There never was
a time when the public press was do
ing such a great work of education
as it is today, and people who read
of the strict sanitary measures taken
every day in the army camps should
not pass this over, forgetting to ap-
ply what they can of it at home, for
John will look with sharp eye
when he gets home, and a. great JOY
will come to him if he sees that the
home fires have been kept burning
in all these things too.
The state of Idaho has chance
to take a step to help these matters
along by greatly charging the scope
of its work in the department known
as pure food and sanitary commits
sion. Heretofore WE have merely
had two men working in the whole
state, with unpaid deputies appointed
to honorary positions where nothing
was ever done excepting under pres
sure. These two men have for their
field, more than two dozen indus
tries in about five hundred towns in
the State enough to Keep many men
busy to inspect. Then there are the
farms--if person will visit a hun
bred farms and observe the condition
of the wells, springs, toilets, stables,
hog pens, stock yards and the fly
pest, and then ask how in the world
people can expect or hope to be
healthy under such conditions, he
will reach the conclusion that there
is vast work to- be done, and that
the power of the press and the auth
ority of state inspectors and the
advice and pep Of the hoped-for re-
turning soldier with his stock of
ideas. will all be needed to make
any county a good place to live, and
to fill the measure of our opportuni-
ties.

enough of 1t to fill all the box cars
in the United States, and If an en-
barge had not been laid, they would
on the sidings, with no place to un-
load them, and we should have. had
a blockade of nearly all other freight.
Nothing would do us. greater dam
age nor please the kaiser better than
to have our commercial arteries
choked with wheat The embargo is
preventing that. Mills will grind as
fast as they can and the -four will
be forwarded and that will make
room for little more. People who
have wheat to sell should be con-
tent to sell little and then wait
while somebody else sells a little.
We are rich in wheat, but we must
sell some potatoes and butter and
eggs and not let our wealth choke
us. Take those views home with
you and do little thinking, and put
in some of your own observations
on top of them and see If you don't
feel better about it and feel the
necessity for exercising common
sense and patience"
We like Ramsey's philosophy. If
all the mills and elevators in the
United States are filled with wheat,
and lines of teams reaching all the
way to the farm ready to unload
more we think it is the best news we
ever heard, excepting the news from
the battle fronts.
We have just one more thought
to add on our own account. Ii no
family in the United States has more
than fifty pounds of -four stored,
wouldn't it be a good idea for the
food administration to lay down
rule to enable each family to lay in
years supply on the lowest esti-
mate that is likely to be put into
practice, and let the ultimate con-
sumers store what they are going to
use and make room quickly for re-
ceiving the wheat from farmers, who
are holding wheat and being ruined
financially because they cannot con-
vert it into cash? Such an order
flashed over the country would speed
up the wheat movement in a week.
