not so new. 1t is used in Denmark.
The famous wheat raised in Russia
around the Odessa region is mar
keted on this basis. 1t is used also
to a considerable extent among the
fruit growers Of the west. We want
to make it apply to all the farm
products of the United States"
And when this is done, think of
the gentlemen who will be forced to
go to work for living!
Sold Crop Eighteen Times
When asked If this form Of mar
keting might not be regarded by the
public as just another method of
price manipulation, Mr.. Howard ex-
planned that the difference was one
of purpose. He maintained that the
purpose of this new federation of
farmers would be to benefit the
whole country and eliminate the
costly waste of speculation in farm
products.

Hay Goes to Stack

POCATELLO.-Little change in
the hay market has been recorded In
Pocatello during the past week, due
to the fact that weather conditions
have been more favorable to stack
ing. The greater part of the hay
crop in this section is going into
the stack and will be sold to the
sheepmen in this section. The price
is about the same as quoted last
week.
Harvest has started in the Arbon
valley, and is being pushed with all

HEAT CORNMEAL AND WATER
Sest Results Secured by Placing Them
In Double Boiler and Not Stir
the Mixture.

In experiments made in the home
economic department Of the United
States department of agriculture it has
been found that 1t is best for almost
every purpose to put c0rnmeal and
cold water together and then heat
them over boiling water in a. double
boiler. Except when very finely
ground meals are used it is unneces-
sary to stir the mixture at any time,
not even when the meal and water are
put together. The conclusion has been
reached that in all cases the best re-
suits are obtained by heating the meal
and liquid together without stirring.

of the entire United States was
around five billion bushels. Just
think of it. Just let these figures
sink into your mind and you will see
why 1t is that grain prices are SO
high today. II every bushel OF
grain raised in the United States
had been bought and sold on the
Chicago board Of trade, which it
wasn't, then the years transactions
of that board would have involved
buying and selling the entire ave
billion bushels eighteen times. When
the grain eventually reaches the con-
sumner under this plan the consumer
pays selling commission and the buy
ing commission. He pays the gam
bler's loss and the gamblers profit
Now then ask you, man unto
man. what do you suppose the peo-
pie of the country prefer in this re-
spect? Would it suit them better to
have the grain prices dictated by one
million farmers who raise the grain
or by ten millionaires on the Chicago
board of trader"
Mr.. Howard pointed out that when
the new system was operating 1t
would not be to the interest of the
farmer to put prices too high, mas
much as he himself is a consumer,
as much as anybody else. He uses
more steel than do the railroads in
a year, buys machinery, furniture,
lumber, automobiles, and will buy
more as his buying power increases.
He would not want to throw the ma
tional economic balance out of order
by charging too much for foods,
when he would Immediately have to
pay the same way for the goods he
has to buy.
Advertising to Aid
He declared that to change the
present conditions needed a combi-,
nation of action and advertising.

LABOR-SAvING DEVICE IN
THE REPUBLICAN OFFICE

A new debating outfit known as
the Ediphone has just been installed
in the office of the Idaho Repub-
lican for use in making news and
editorial work quicker and easier.
The Ediphone outfit consists of
three instruments. erected on stand
somewhat like an adding machine.
The first instrument in the series is
known as the Ediphone, the second
is the Transoph0ne and the third Is
the shaving machine. 1t is used in
the place of stenographer and takes
letters or any kind of dictation. 1t
has several advantages over a ste
nographer, both in accuracy and
speed and convenience.
The debating outfit is ready for
use at all hours, and does not re-
quire the presence of a stenographer
to have the work in progress. The
mode of operating is for the dictator
to talk into the machine as he would
into telephone, and it takes on the
record. When he wishes the ma
chine to pause while he thinks, he
merely presses button with his
thumb and releases it when ready to
go on debating. The record is like
the record Of an Edison, and when
taken off and placed on the transo-
phone. the headpiece is placed on the
operator of the typewriter and while
the ears take the message from the
revolving record, the fingers ON the
keyboard write it on paper. If it
talks faster that the operator can
write, she presses a button with her
foot and it stops till she releases
1t, and then goes on again from the
last word it had spoken. BY hav-
ing number Of records, the dictator
and the operator can keep them
working and neither one ever has
to wait for the other. When the
copying has been done, the record
is placed in the shaving machine
and the switch turned, and it shaves
off the message and is ready to be
again placed in the Ediphone to re-
ceive the next message.
The outfit costs $3.50 and one
girl who is rapid operator of the
typewriter is enabled to do much
more work in given amount of
time than she can do by shorthand
and the typewriter. The greatest
saving to be made by the use of the
Ediphone Is In the time saved for
the dictator. because he can always
pick mp the tube and talk into It,
without waiting for anyone else.
Then when he has to stop to study
or to hunt up information. nobody
is waiting for him to get ready to
dictate again. Using 1t is merely
canning the human voice and then
resurrecting it at will. and having
the machine tell 1t once or many
times at the will of the operator.

union they all have what they strive
for. The new movement intends to
! pull Americans together instead OF
emphasizing class differences, which
should not exist, believe the leaders
of the proposed federation.
Plenty Produced-Lttle Distributed
1.-THE reason food prices are 50
high at present is that the marketing
is done entirely on wrong basis"
Mr.. Howard went on. Down on
South Water street are commission
firms that absolutely dictate how
much the people of Chicago shall
pay for vegetables and produce. The
farmer has nothing whatever to say
about this and yet he gets the blame.
Fruit and vegetables are left to spoil
in order that the price may be kept
up. Last winter whole carloads Of
potatoes were dumped in a nearby
suburb and left to freeze in order
that they might be kept off the mar
ket. This is only little sample.
This country raises literally untold
quantities of food that never get to
the market. Marketing conditions
are such that the farmer may let his
fruit rot on the trees. 1t would have
to rot If he picked 1t because he
couldn't sell it. And while all this
is going on apples may be selling
for ten cents apiece in a city 500
miles away. This is worse than fool
ishness. 1t is sinful waste. It repre-
sents condition that ought to be
adjusted as quickly as it is humanity
possible to do So"
Organization Not Political
Membership in the new federation.
Mr.. Howard said, would be strictly
non-political and non-sectarian. It
would be a business proposition. He
thinks three million members sho0ld
be enrolled before marketing action
commences. -
There are seven million farmers
In the United States. More than one
million Of them already belong TO
farm bureaus which are joined with
the national federation.
Mr.. Howard and his associates in
tend to keep this movement clean.
Mr.. Howard said: "Our biggest ele-
ment Of strength is our determine
ton to work for the benefit Of tho
whole country while working for
ourselves. For example. . part Of
our legislative program IL to try 70
bring about some arrangement be-
tween capital and labor which Will
insure freedom from disrupting and
wasteful strikes"
And SO, in the end. It may be the
farmer who will bring the nation out
on the highway Of safe progress and
harmony.

AS PURE AS THE
POLAR AIR

Isko is little machine that
sits on top of your refrigera-
tor and sends draft of crisp
. cold thru its shelves that
keeps the foods cool, dry and
uncontami1ated.
FLEXIBLE MACHINE
This little machine can be
put down in the basement if
you desire. 1t is simply a
small ice-making plant that
you can attach to your cleo
trio switch, either Delco or
power line. 1t will manufac-
ture ice for you for the ia
BILE, and deliver them clean
and pure.
ECONOMY OF III
While the price of ice is
mounting and will mount still
more, the cost of consuming
electric power is falling, and
besides we live in the west
where most of the water pow
er of the nation is waiting for
development.
CLEANLINESS OF ISKO
With your own artificial cool
ing system you are not both
cred with the dripping damp
ness of ice melting above your
foods, nor is there a drain
that must be kept clean or a
pan beneath that is always
F.. overlooking.
SUPERIORITY IN TASTE
Food kept in Isko refrigera-
tors has an unmistakable
TASTE of purity. No matter
in what state of perfection
you may buy perishable foods
they practically always must
undergo a period of storage
before reaching the table,
whether for few hours,
over night or several days.
Because Isko keeps them
properly chilled, they retain
their original flavor.

tell you about.

Idaho Falls Expects Surplus

IDAHO FALLS.-From present in.
dications there will be a surplus OF
hay. The second cutting. Of alfalfa
is being made, and the quality and
yield are heavier and better than
the first cutting. Prospects are
good for third cutting. The hay
is being put in the stack in good con-
dition. No sales have been reported
as yet. Buyers are making offers
Of from SO to $12. while it costs
them $40 to put the hay in the
stack. The high price of hay last
season caused most of the surplus
stock to be sent out Of the county,
which makes the demand for hay
less this season.

MONTPELIER The present hay
market (aifalfa) is very unsatisfac-
tory. The market price prevailing at
the present is approximately SIS per
ton for first crop, and considering
the cost of baling. which is said to be
81 per ton and the cost of hauling
to the cars, approximately 50 per
ton, it leaves the farmer but So.
Better prices are looked for in the
very near future. The hay crop in
Bear Lake county is abundant this
season, but other localities are not
so fortunate, and that there will be
brisk demand for feed soon is the
belief of many.
