CELEBRATION OF CONSTITUTION

September II, 1919, has been selected
by the National Security Legue as the
most fitting time for a celebration OF
our Constitution, it being the birthday
of the document, the grandest humane
document ever formulated by man.
The National Security League is the
strongest patriotic organization extant
we think, To bring about a nation wide
campaign for better popular under
standing of the Constitution is the
prime object.
There should be local organization
in Mineral Point, and Sept II, should
be properly observed, Time is short,
but it can be accomplished
An observance and study of our Con-
stitution is about the most important
subject before the American people, es-
peclally at this time.
Citizens of Mineral Point Wake up
for proper celebration of our Consti-
tuition. In no way can true patriotism
be better displayed.

JUST GOOD TIRES

l was much pleased with the ad-
vertisement of automobile tires l saw
the other day. l had been passing
many enormous board-notices, gaudy
in hue, striking in design, and each
claiming superlative merit for their
tires. "Buy Liveforever Tires! They
last like STEEL" use Rockaway
Tires! No other rides so smoothly"
You'll come to Ne Plus Ultra Tires!
Don't wait!" 1.-THE Mestafall Tire!
Nothing like it," So the shrieking
advertisements vibrated thru the
landscape.
Then ! saw the quiet announce
ment: Smith tires are good tires. -
Just that. You can't imagine how
restful it was. Immediately a sense
of solid satisfaction came over me.
Good tires" No need to buster
and howl. No need to ransack the
dictionary for superlatives. No need
to run down competitors. Smith
tires are good tires" wanted to
buy some at once. Those are the
tires for me henceforth. Good
tires That is the acme of adver-
Using.

delicious value of quiet, self-respect
ing simplicity?-U. s. Tire News,

watching every detail of the work
for which they are responsible to the

Congress ought to be in session.
It should be where it can deal
quickly with any sudden national
emergency. We are even inclined to
the opinion that failing a summons
from the president, the members of
the national legislature might do
we'll to assemble Of their own Volt
ton, organize and proceed to do
business. Such an action would be
without precedent, but there is moth

and If congress were to take such
action, the country would unques-

Record Breaking Crop
Report for May First

The outstanding feature of the
May first crop report is the record
breaking condition of the United
States winter wheat crop and the in
significant acreage abandonment re-
sulting from winter killing, soil
blowing, pests, etc. The May first
condition of 1905 per cent Of normal
is the highest on record and the per-
centage of abandonment, IL per
cent is lower than any year as far
back as 1900. This means, that OF
the 49,261,00O acres seeded last fall,
some 48,224,000 acres remains, to
be harvested, forcasting yield of
500, 100000 bushels compared with
the 55S, $4,000 bushels yield of last
year.
Idaho's winter wheat came thru
the winter with but per cent loss,
leaving 224, $50 acres for harvesting
A condition of 100 per cent forecasts
production of 8,798,3O0 bushels.
The crop is making satisfactory pro-
gress in all sections of the state.
Rye Production Doubled
With an area of some 5000 acres
in this state and condition of 1O1
per cent of normal May l., produc-
ton of 49, 200 bushels of rye is
forecasted, compared with 10000
bushels last year.
Little Hay on Hand
Besides the large amount of hay
fed in the state, shipping has been
active from the irrigated sections to
outside points. Only per cent or
$4,000 tons of last years crop still
remains on farms, compared with
PSI 900 tons on hand last year.
= The acreage to be harvested for
hay is practically the same as last
year. When a condition of 80 per
cent of normal for the preliminary
estimated area of 100000 acres, q
production of 2,2ss,ooo tons is in
dictated. y
Flowing and seeding retarded.
Flowing for spring planting was
lS3 per cent completed, compared
with IS per cent completed May
last year. Spring planting was 70
per cent completed, compared with
| Is per cent completed May /, 1918
Mortality and Condition of Livestock
Fewer losses from disease and ex'
posture of horses, mules cattle and
swine are reported for this state thar
a year ago, but sheep and lamb losses
are a trifle higher. Serious short
age of hay and other foods in Nortf
Idaho left livestock in poorer condi
ton than usual in that part Of the
state. Reports of losses from con
tagious abortion and black leg have
been received from nearly all sec
lions of the state.

Old New Years Day.

The act for the change Of style pro.
vided that the legal year in England
1852, should commence, not on the
25th Of March, but on the first Of Jan.
uary, and that after the third Of Sep
TENDER in that year, the next ensuing
day should be held as the 18th, thus
dropping out II days. A similar
change was made about the same time
in Sweden and Tuscany, and Russia
and Greece are now the only countries
using the old style. The years 1900
and 1900, not being considered by VI
as leap years, have interjected two
more days, actually making the differ
ence ID days between old and new
style.

THE GOVERNMENT
SHOULD BE ION THE JOB"

If the United States were situated
as the entente government is in
Europe are situated, the nobody
home condition in Washington at
this particular juncture would be
matter for very serious alarm.
And even as matters stand with the
nation fundamentally sound, and
more than any other country on
earth immunized to the ravages Of
the bolshevist germ, the practical
desertion of the national capital by
the men in charge Of the country is
anything but gratifying.
The actual situation in Washing
ton is really extraordinary. It
would be secuted as outside the rea-
sonable probabilities il it were out
lined alphabetically.
On a recent date the president OF
the country, the vice-president, and
the secretaries Of state, war, the
navy, the interior, commerce and
labor were all away from the capital
the congress, of course, being scat
tered to the four quarters Of the
country. The government was be-
ing run Of Private Secretary Tumulty
who has been left in the White House
to take care Of the furnaces and tho
cat, and by Solicitor Frank Polk,
who is looking after the routine in
the state department. These two
were being assisted by Postmaster
General Burleson, who probably was
too busy throttling the Postal Tele-
graph company to take vacation;
by Secretary Houston in the depart
ment of agriculture, and by the two
debutantes Of the cabinet, Attorney
General Palmer and Secretary Of
the Treasurey Carter Glass, the lat
ter, however, being in the throes Of
preparation, for western trip AS
| to the whereabouts of the absenteos,
the president and Mr.. Lansing were

his way there, Baker was west be-
fore following his confrere Of the

SENATOR BORAH MAY
LEAVE THE G.. o. p.

BOISE, Idaho.-Political circles
have earnestly discussed the pos
sibility of Senator Borah leaving the
Republican party, which he threatens
to do II the Republicans In the SEN
ate furnish enough votes to approve
the treaty Of peace with its alliance
provisions and the league of nations
feature, and II the Republican party
in convention does not repudiate the
Wilson program. Senator Borah
has been especially active In opposing
the league Of nations and any plan
that binds the United States far In
advance to participate in future
European wars.
It. IL the opinion Of wise political
heads here that IL the Republican
party swallows the peace pact the
senator will aid in the organization
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-05-16

of a third party, which it is felt,
would result in victory for the Demo
cratic party, lead again in all pro-
liability, by Woodrow Wilson.
In this connection it is pointed
out that Senator Borah has never
been a strong party man. In 1896
he left the G. o. P. to become a
leader of the Silver Republicans.
Later he repudiated Taft, Republican
candidate for president, supporting
Roosevelt.
A canvass of editorial sentiment
in the state, just completed, indi-
Gates that the people Of Idaho are
behind Senator Borah in his stand
on the league of nations and the
peace treaty as prepared in Yer
sailles.

THE KNOCKER

Progress and advancement one
nice May day, walked the streets of
Blackfobt light hearted and gay.
Says P to A while looking around,
Lets get us a location and settle
down." Says A to P, that sounds
alright, Lets consult few and get
some light, for in our haste, it might
be well to delay, the spending of our
cash and hear what they have to
say
Agreed and without further delay,
to the cafe they FASTENED themselves
away. Oh entering and looking
round they found some chairs to sit
upon. Says P to A, II like this
place, but whose that man with the
long sour face?" Says A to P, ITO
him lets chat, and perhaps he can
tell us where we're at, make know
our business, tell that, if the right
spirit by your citizens are shown,
that we portion of the town would
like to own" my friend" says he,
as he pulled his face, would you
with your family and money this
town grace? For If to me you will
listen, sad story l will tell, herald
by the sadness that equals the toll
ing of a bell, of some things you
would be up against and while too
in this town home own, 1t would
have been better had I not known,
the same fate that befell others and
caused their sadness, which l am
prone to tell. How they withered
away and died, how their hearts
were crushed the fate that befell
them, tbs sad to relate; the condi-
lions are awful here, and how a
knocker | do hate, but as | am put
ting you wise, you may depend on
what | am saying, on which have
placed no disguise.-That IL for a
business location you are seeking,
or for the happiness of your family
you would like to depend, don't 90
it, and your money withhold, for
there are so many other places you
had better look at and l am told they
hold so much better inducement, and
much pleasanter you and your family
will be. And my advice to you as
a friend would be, that you will get
stung if you locate in Blackfoot, and
please don't try, for it is sorry you
will be of your investment, ere q
year has passed by
So they left, down hearted, their
gay spirit having fed, and blew In
all the money looking from the ad-
vice they had. Until finally they
took the first thing offered and set
tied down to their fate, always re-
membering the knocker they came
in contact with, who said he was
giving it to them straight. AS they
look back in their memory and
viewed the situation ore, reflect or
condition of what they felt sure, II
it had not been for the wise guy
by whom they were taken in, there
would have been no cause for then
to say what might have been.-R. T

UNCLE SANS
CASH

Not much has been said about the
working of the federal farm loan
system installed few years ago in
the United States. But In this COM
munity much has been actually done.
The Blackfoot association, whose
directors are e. NJ Gregg, Ward Sol
lenberger, Henry Savage, George
Pope, Fred j. Savage Jr., and Henry
Felt, will have brought into the local
district in two years 100000 OF
Uncle Sans money, when present
pending loans are put thru. And
Uncle Sans money is good money;
it makes crops crop, feeds the family
and it's like getting checks from
the old man. E. M Gregg, Black
foot, route three, is the man to write
to for information.
