GOSPEL OF BETTER FENCES
Novel "Drive" lnauuurated for I'm.
provement Of Farms, Both In
Value and Appearance.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
With view to effecting a practical
Improvement In the value and the APP
pearance of the farms, a fve-day
"buy-a-fence" campaign was recently
conducted throughout the rural dis.
tricts of Mississippi. This novel
drive" was Joined in by local repre-
sentatives of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the state
agricultural college. and other or
ganizations and agencies. Elaborate
plans for promoting the campaign
were worked out in advance, includ-
ing the organization In each county of
committees whose duty 1t was to
spread the gospel Of better fences.
The big saving to forage crops result
ing from better fences was pointed
out, likewise the labor saved In car
ing for live stock to prevent overfeed-
Ing. An appeal was also made for
fields and homesteads that appear
well cared for.
Good as were the immediate results
of the campaign. it is believed that
the permanent benefits will be equally
large. In that 1t concentrated attention
on the fence question and is expected
to promote greater interest In this i'm
portant feature of farm improve
ments.

Gem County Gets Two of Best.

Henry Kreizenbeck of Emmett
bought two fine heifers. They were
grand daughters of Double Dale, one
Of the famous bulls of the Shorthorn
breed. The Payette County calf club
boys were also good buyers. Many of
the younger calves were bid in by the
boys. These calves of the boys will
be resold at the next annual sale.
However, the boy has the privilege of
bidding in his calf. 1t is desired,
however, that the boys will keep the
calf and become a Shorthorn breeder.
The sale enables the boys to figure
their profits for keeping the calf a
year.

In Spring They Are Sufficiently Grown
to Take Care OF Themselves
Make Good Growth.

Calves born in the fall can be grained
and properly cared for and when grass

they are sufficiently grown to take care
Of themselves. They thus have an OPP

True Poetry.

True poetry, like true eloquence, Is
the voice Of nature appealing to the
heart with its utmost sublimity and
power Instead of teaching
merely, It persuades, elevates, inspires
1t excites a feeling where the other
leaves an opinion or maxim. 1t pro-
poses examples of ideal excellence and
raises virtue into heroism.-Hugh

The other day the railway

All of these efforts have

because the strike was broken

Minimum Raise Wrong

AS an alternative to the service charge of 20 cents for
residence and commercial lighting it is proposed in some
quarters to raise the minimum rate from % cents 10
IS cents q month
In the first place. such raise would be inadequate
for the apparent needs of the lighting department as
revealed to the city council and the public And in the
second place would be most unjust to the small house
holder he alone would have to bear the burden OF
increase while the rest of the community escaped
1t is only family with small means that uses the mini
mum Of electricity. Everybody else more than the
minimum If the minimum charge is increased 1t Is
obvious that the small home alone is taxed.
And later if it should prove that this increase not
sufficient to raise needed funds the minimum would
have to be raised againand always it would be the small
man who would pay. . .
Rates. like taxes should be imposed with the idea that
those best able should pay II would be farer all around
if the original draft of the bill introduced by the utilities
committee is adopted This provides service charge OF
% cents to be paid by EVERY not merely the
little fellow
