THE HERENESS'
OF GARDENING

1t was some such person, was it
not, as the Akbad Of Swat, who
used to talk about the "Hereness of
the Now"
1t is nos a matter of record whe'
ther or no this Swat person was
a gardener, but the immortal phrase
attributed to him should be the
motto and creed of every gardener
these spring days. The present is
here, is very much with us, and that
should mean garden planting and
garden working. Ere We know it
this particular present viii not be
here, but will be gone forever and If
we fail to act now those garden beds
will not be prepared or those garden
seeds will be drying and dying in
their envelopes
Never did the phrase Time is
money" apply more truly than to
the gardening situation in the
spring. Delay is costly indeed. II
the weather permits one should be
out in the back yard, or the vacant
lots now, making the dirt fly. Don't
get onto the ground before it Is suf'
ficiently dry to work we'll, of course,
but be sure you purpose in your
heart to begin digging, fertilizlng,
and planting Just as soon as con
ditions are right. II you don't know
when conditions are right, write
the UNTIL States Department OF
Agriculture for information.
The first big essential IS the atti'
tude OF mind Say to yourself
Here, you self-respecting citizen
throw off this lethary bred of winter
hours by the fireside. The country
needs food. The grocery bill needs
shrinking. The back yard or vacant
lot needs the Identification that
comes from honest cultivation
Arise, self, in your might, and &c
at the gardening with a will equal
to your best in war time! Remem
Der there is no time like the present
Begin to plan and work here and

How these qualities are valued by motor

in another.
Hudson is the feetest. Its stock car speed

than any other team ever gained.
But its speed means no forfeit of other

MERCHANTS CLOSE
FIRST FAIR DAY
Association Meets and
Map Out Program for
Fair Activities

At the meeting of the retail mer-
chants association of Blackfoot, on
Thursday evening they decided to
close all stores on Tuesday at 1
O'Clock and remain closed until We'd
nesday morning. During the other
days of the fair the stores will re-
main open, but with only a part of
the crew on duty in the afternoons.
This decision was arrived at, after
canvassing the subject from all ang-
les. 1t has been found in other years
that a good many people come to
town and arrive after the stores are
closed and have difficulty in getting
their arrangements completed to at
tend the fair. Some are unavoidably
delayed and have to do little shop
ping before they go to the fair
grounds. A good many have check
books, and money in the bank, but
no way of getting their money and
with everything locked up tight, and
the ticket sellers at the fair grounds
declining to take checks for admis-
sion, 1t spoils the days fun for a
good many people. The banks will
close at l o'clock, every day of the
fair and remain closed until the next
morning. There may be some of the
stores that will close at the same
time the banks do, on the theory that
people do not buy their goods at
fair time. Furniture is not the kind
OF goods that people buy in an en-
ergency to get to the fair on. Man.
ayers Of the furniture stores ex-
pressed the belief that it might be
just as we'll for them to close and
that, it would not discommode the
public at ALL Most of the managers
of the business houses were perfectly
willing to close as far as their own
interests are concerned, but it was
considered better for the public, for
most of the business houses to re-
main open and have enough sales
people on hand to supply them with
the things they want. 1t will also

BILLS-HALE
AND PRIMARY Law.
IN PUBLIC OPTIC
Expected Split in Re-
publican Party Still
Subject of Dis
WHO BEHIND MOVE
Will of Voters and d.
rect Primary Law is
Thrown in Discard

The expected split in the vote OF
the Republican party over Bills and
Hale for county commissioner in the
second district is still a subject OF
considerable study. r. G.. Bills is
the regular Republican nominee,
placed in nomination by the voters
at the polls, at the primary election.
The primary election is the regularly
appointed means of nominating can
didates, and 1t Is a means approved
by both parties. The Republican
party endorses the primary law the
way it is, but says it can be improved
upon. The Democratic party and
the Non-partisans are very loud in
their protestations in favor of the
direct primary, as it stands, and for
an increase of its scope of activity
to include the state candidates. When
this county went to the polls to NOM
mate candidates at the direct pri-
mary, R. G.. Bills was nominated for
commissioner, in the second district.
There did not seem to be much Op-
position to the nomination. The law
provides for an emergency whereby
it might be desirable to make NOM
ination after the primaries were
over; and third party came forward
calling themselves independents and
placed ]. H. Hale in nomination
against Mr. Bills. Mr.. Hale claims
to be Republican, but under the
law, he had to take the nomination
under the name of an Independent.
Mr.. Hale has assurance of a large fol-
lowing of Republican voters, or did
have such assurance q week or two
ago. If this is true, where were
these Republicans on the date of the
lirect primary? If his followers are
they are incon-
sistent and are acting against the
platform they adopted, for they are
very emphatically in favor of oper-
ating the direct primary. 1t is very
plain that there is niger in the
wood-pile somewhere. If Hale's fol-
overs are Republicans why did they
lot nominate Hale at the primaries?
i they are Non-partisians, why did

lown in their platform about which

Treats Assessed
Against Kennedy
Takes Wrong Auto

Last night E. M. Kennedy of the
First National bank was attending a
little feed at the .Eccles hotel and
after discussing the various topics
that come before gathering of en-
thusiastic banqueters, until rather
late hour, Mr.. Kennedy decided it
was time to HE himself homeward
and leaving the hotel, he went d.
rectly across the street where he
had parked the Buick and jumping
into the old boat, stepped on the
gas and beat it for home, little real
izing that the sheriff would soon be
hot on his trail.
George Smith also owns a. Buick
Of the same model and dimensions
as the Kennedy car and he also
parked his auto across the street
from the Eccles and as Mr.. Smith
came to procure his car for home
ward journey, the car was missing.
He promptly notified the sheriff's Of
fee and a search for the "adto thief"
began.
Finally Mr.. Smith became sus-
picious of this man Kennedy, because
he noticed the latter's car standing
very closely to the spot where he had
left his auto. The plot begins to
thicken and he telephones the Ken
nedy residence.
A sleepy reply from man who
had spent a couple of hours in beauty
slumber came from the other end
of the wire.
did you walk or drive home this
evening"" asked Mr.. Smith.
"Drove!" says Brother Kennedy.
"Well, 60 out and see whose car
you took" commands Smith.
After clustering for a few mo-
ments on the injustice of getting a
man out Of bed at this unearthly
hour Kennedy finally stepped out to
examine the car and shortly after
Smith heard a very meek Hello"
from the other end of the wire.
WELL" demanded Smith, Whose
car have you taken?"
"Damfino," said Kennedy, "It isn't
mine"
And they lived happily ever after.

his early life was handicapped by

We remember the facts correctly, as

Of 1858, some months before his

they were both past fifty years Of
age. When the brother was discov-

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The ter
rifle explosion which wrecked the
bank building Of ]. P. Morgan & Co.,
and menaced the sub-treasury with
destruction, killed at least twenty
four persons and injured more than
200 others was the result of bomb
plot, according to officials of the
police department and the district
attorneys office today. They de-
clared they had secured enough evil
dence to justify this theory and that
they would make a vigorous investi-
CATION along that line.
The officials said they were con-
vinced that bomb of gigantic power
had been exploded by anarchists.
Chief Inspector William L. Lahey,
in charge of the police inquiry, re-
ported that he had found evidence
to justify a conclusion that the ex-
plosion was caused by a huge TINT
bomb reinforced with heavy iron
slugs fashioned from window
weight bars.
Assistant District Attorney Alfred
J. Talley, who is directing the in
vestigation for the district attorneys
office, is working on the theory that
a time bomb was conveyed to the
scene in wagon similar to the kind
used by the du Pont Power company
to allay suspicion.
He believes that the plot was
aimed at the destruction of either J.
P. Morgan & Co., or the United
States sub-treasury, or possibly both.
While the officials were working
with might and main to solve the
mystery of the explosion, policemen
were carrying the mangled bodies
