The preliminary hearing of James
Nunley before U. s. Commissioner
Theodore Turner at PocateHo Fri
day resulted in his being released
He was charged with disloyal re-
marks and the testimony showed that
he had berated the Red Cross, said
that Germany would win the war
and that the grating would stop
when the kaiser rules this country.
1t was admitted that there was
some half-joking remarks made just
before the statement regarding the
rule Of the kaiser, and witnesses in
troduced in Nunley's behalf showed
that he had bought liberty bonds and
given to the Red Cross without pres
sure.
The court admonished Mr.. Nunley
that this was no tine for joking about
serious matters and that If he made
dlsloyal remarks even in testing, he
must expect to have to answer for
1t, and that while there was not
evidence against him to
warrant prosecution, there must be
no fugther compromising of his at
titude. He was discharged and his
bond money returned to him.

A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN
CORN AND ROADS
Continued from page four

there is no joy In eatirg it.
A good many people are raising
and eating this kind Of corn and do
not know that there is any better
corn in the world or they have not
enough interest to get the better
kinds. They declare that 1t is good,
but they do not know there is some
thing infinitely better. If you have
been fooling along with some big,
bulky late corn that has large stalks
and mammoth cobs and little corn
and little satisfaction with it, just
make a cleanup this fall and feed
what there lis to the stock, and get
busy right now sampling corn among
your neighbors till you find some
thing that is really worth while, and
get some of the seed. There is still
better way than that. Send to
some reputable seed house and get
"a supply of Early Bantam. It de-
velops early makes small stalks,
small cobs, deep grains, thin tender
skin on the grains, and when you
have 1t properly cooked and .buttered,
and you get busy biting 1t off of the
cob rather hot, you will wish that.
the season for :.'roasting-ears' would
last all the year. Remember that
last thought when spring comes, and
keep planting all thru May and about
half Of June, just little at a time,
SO you can have green corn on the
table for couple of months. 1t
will save you a lot of money on your
grocery bill 1T will make you use
up considerable butter and SALT and
you will start the fall season feeling
better than you generally do.
Don't plant two kinds of corn so
they can mix. Keep your choice corn
entirely. free from every other kind;
il you get it mixed you will have
poorer corn next year, just the same
as If you crossed your fine animals |
with scrubs and brought up some
hybrids. There are a good many
people in this county who have eaten
poor corn or no corn at all, and have
ridden over poor roads or no roads
at all, till they have lost interest
and have forgotten that good corn
and good roads are within their
reach. The editor of this little sheet
wants you to have both, and wants
you to have them soon. II

WRITES ABOUT A
BLACKFOOT EDITOR

A. e. GIBSON. editor of the Idaho
Odd Fellow, published at Caldwell,
has the following to say aboue q
Blackfoot man:
Blackf0Ot Editor Celebrates Ami
versary
Editor Trego, of The Idaho Repub-
lican, published at Blackfoot, has is
sued a sSouvenir Edition." of that
paper and it was dated on the fiftieth
anniversary of his birthday. The is
sue contains, with other things of
interest, "A Few Intimate Views of
the Republican Plant" This, in con-
necti0n with descriptive story, re-
veals surprisingly we'll equipped
office for the size of the town.
But Trego's personality is the
thing that is in evidence on about
every page of the paper. There is
only one Trego in Idaho, always ex-
cepting his better half and he
probably wouldn't mind If we printed
the word better in big. letters. He
is a hustler, just the same and while
he has earned boquets all right
enough, he probably knows as much
about "brick-bats" as any editor in
the western country, and so an edi-
torial from him on the subject, which
appears in the issue, seems both per-
tinent and authoritative. q
1t Is common talk among the news
paper men that Trego likes scrap,
and while he hits hard, he seems
willing to take his own medicine.
He evidently believes in publicity,
and there are some who allege that
the BlackfOot editor doesn't care
what people say about him, so long
as they say something.
However, he wouldn't be Trego if
he was like other editors and pub
fishers and so it goes without saying
that The Idaho Republican, under |
Trego's management, will be widely
read, and continue to keep his pros
porous home city decidedly on the |
map.
