1T Is THE
LAW

About hundred years ago, per-
haps, q philosopher named John
Stuart Mill had and put forth q
theory that the human race advanced
according to the advancement of
each individual In it. He said the
best way for an individual to advance
was to look to himself, and IL he did
that he would be performing his
proper share in the improvement of
the human race.
Mill said: LET every man do the
things that will profit himself and
make him better man" His theory
was called "Utilitarinism, unless we
have forgotten.
Practically, in our every day
world. there is a good deal in that
theory. Consider town like Black
foot for instance, where certain
amount of business particularly in
the way of merchandising is de-
handed by the surrounding popula-
ton. The town will advance accord
ing to the rise of each individual
business service in 1t. Each bust
ness man will push his town ahead in
the degree in which he pushes his
business ahead.
Unfortunately for them and for
their town some men are content
with certain volume of business,
because it gives them a good living.
They do not see the invisible growth
of demand for service. They will be
brought out in the end for the good
of the community by outsiders who
understand the merchandising law OF
supply and demand. A man must
either climb or drop off the ladder.

MASTER THE ART OF
DRY FARMING

The experience of the past few
years has shown that there is grave
doubt about the success of dry farm
ing in the foot hills and on the Snake
river plains, and this paper rises to
remark, as we have remarked many
times before, that even with i'm
proved climatic conditions, it will
still be a gamble to undertake to dry
/ farm by the oil dmethods of shallow
blowing and imperfect cultivation.
When we say shallow blowing we
mean the blowing that is done four,
six and eight inches deep. The men
who do the blowing think they are
piowing pretty deep If they go down
six inches, and SO they are if it is
being done by horse power, but the
days of the horse are numbered and
the agriculture CT the future will not
depend on him.
Three years ago we began agitat-
ing for the invention Of plow that
would pulverize the soil several
Zines as deep as people have been in
the habit of blowing it. We have
been saying that the plow should be
some kind of rotary that would
absolutely pulverize the soil to a
depth Of two feet or more, and thus
make great mass of seed bed, deep
enough and mellow enough to store
moisture sufficient to raise a good
profitable crop.
A. couple of years ago we made
considerable inquiries in an effort
70 ma what was the deepest pillow
and sub-soiler that there was in OPP
Grafton and we could find nothing
that stirred the soil more than
twenty inches deep and this did not
do much pelverizing. 1t merely
stirred the soil and left a mass of
clods. We still claim that when the
Snake river plans and the adjacent
foot hills are finally subdued and
made to yield rich returns in agricul-
ture, that it will either be done by
thoro irrigation or it will be done by
the use of pillow or pulverizer that
will absolutely pulyerize the soil to
depth of two feet or more.
We renew our statement that men
who want to farm OIL the Snake
river plains and who do not wish to
wait for several years, or perhaps
a generation, to get water on the
land for irrigation, may as we'll dis
card the idea of shallow cultivation
and either get something that will
do deep pulverizing or give up the
Job.
If anyone knows more than we do
about where or how to get the deep
plow or pulverizer, we are talking
about, we shall be greatly obliged
to them if they will furnish us some
information. We believe the Snake
river plains we're made to be farmed
and we do not like to see the settlers
abandon their claims.

There are fine prospects for good

THE ROTARY
CLUB

1t is not a new subject, not a new
thought, nor an experiment; it is
pot anything new in the way of an
organizatiOn-but because of its
making first appearance in Black
foot this year perhaps some sort of
study of rotarianism would be the
right thing at the right time.
Rotary is means by which a
business man makes himself of more
service than he would naturally be to
his community without it's inspira-
ton and cooperation. 1t arose in
.~J5 and has spread all over the
world as a representative business
mems association.
Being representative COLLECTION
of business men it had to be selec-
tive. The one term follows from
the other. A commercial club is not
representative of the business men
of a town as rule, because every.
body is admitted and some remain
outside
A rotary club, tho not secert
society, borders on the fraternal
order in this, that it's aim is to de-
velop the individual member and
help him by association, and then
thru him exercise a good influence
upon the whole community. 1t re-
sembles fraternal order no further
except that membership is selective
and that a mans personality has
something to do with his eligibility
to membership.
One member may be received
from each one of something over
200 separate lines or branches of
business. Each one is elected by the
club on his merits as man, citi-
zen and a live wire" in his field of
work
Each member of the rotary club
must take an active part In all Of
its luncheons and activities, and he
is dropped like hot spud If he plays |
truant. The club exists alone for
what it can give to the member, and
he can receive only insofar as he att
tends to his duties as rotarian.
Rotarians go more on what man
IS than what he will put up for the
text public improvement They

ever been put on in our little city.
Dancing started about 8 o'clock and
lasted until after 1890 p. m. This
was an invitation affair and over 100
couples were dancing besides many
spectators. After a grand march
programs were issued. The punch
made by Bill Seifert was sampled by
almost everybody, it was supposed
to be neutral, but had good flavor.
Quite number of couples were pres
ent from Idaho Falls and Blackfoot
and all said they had very good
time. The Odd Fellow committee
and the lodge in general are to be
complimented very highly on the
complete success of the best dance
they have ever given in Shelley. The
Hansen orchestra furnished very
good music for the evening playing

BY WHOM THE Of
FENCE CONFETTI

Mind revolution is the almost I'M
comfortable change in public opinion
brought about by all sorts of means,
seen and unseen. 1t is called social
revolution when it affects the living
conditions of all of us. Such a revO-
luton created the idea of demOc-
racies and such a revolution, in Ger
many, caused the worlds biggest
armed conflict.
Right now when thruout our land
there is an underlined feeling of in
security, when the government is
frantically deporting fomentors of
social unrest, and when many good
citizens are shaking their heads and
saying that these be sad times in
deed" it would be an excellent mo-
ment for the actual study of social
matters. LANCER lies in ignorance
and not in information.
Why not consider the case of Ger
many, as an example not to be fol-
lowed? Germany couldn't help
starting the great war in Europe.
1t followed las the night the day"
upon a far-reaching mental reyolu-
ton among the people and all the
people of that unfortunate nation.
Germany produced Emmanuel
Kant, Karl Marx and Nietsche and
these men were part of the mind
revolution that we all saw end in
that peculiar philosophy of the
"Super-man," closely related to the
"Me-und- Colt" idea.
But they were only a part, for
once a majority gets the swing of
control in nation all destiny there
of hangs upon that majority. Ger
many first lost faith in the protection
of the minority and followed it down
to supreme contempt for the in
oividual. At its height this move
ment led men to count their own
lives as nothing, their own souls as
nothing, and their own rights as
nothing. 1t was all for the state and
nothing for the man. AS it turned
out the state fell and the individual
with it, and both have less than
nothing.
Germany found out firstly that
monarchy is the most efficient form
OF government, with it's maximum
power of action, it's minimum delay
OF legislation and it's impersonal
management for the advantage of
the whole nation Germany grew
strong commercially and militarily
under that system. 1t seemed good.
1t was efficiency. Minorities did not
bother much. They were shackled.
In Germany the railroads were
under government control. Build
ing permits were under municipal
control, and regulated the size and
appearance of all houses. Much of
the nations industry was under gov
eminent domination-and it all
worked splendidly. Germany be-
came power in the world and wor-
shipped efficiency at the expense of
personal liberty.
The way to learn how it all started
and progressed is to study German
history, but that is unpopular history
il our country. The chances are
that we shall go ahead changing our
constitution and enacting new legis-
latiOn at the expense of minorities
just the same as Germany did, and
the chances are that we shall pass
thru the mind revolution likewise,
with, we trust, less cgotistic out
come.
other chances are that our people
will get the dope" on reformers and
revOlutionists, whether they come in
the garb of commoners or !evangel-
lists, study the American form If gov
eminent, and prevent mishaps.--
