Rathtub Five Feet Deep Unearthed.

In demolishing one Of New York
city's old houses recently, a bathtub
eight feet long, four feet wide and
FIVE feet deep, made of wood and lined
with zinc, was discovered by workmen.
ITO get into it," says the writer who
tells of it, zone had to ascend a flight
of steps. 1t had no hot water con
nection and was used by an old woman
born in the house who remembered
that it always was there. There were
20 rooms in the house, and this bath
in one of them on the third floor was
the only bath in the house. 1t is said
this bathtub was one of the first bath
tubs in New York.

Plan Early for Beauty.

All healthy cities desire beauty. Not
all have the chance to get it. Many
achieve their greatness with such stu
pendous expense of fortune that beau
ty is wiped out before the city has
time to lift its eyes from it's labor to
its landscape. The best time to plan
for beauty is when the city is starting
it's growth.

Woman and civic Responsibilities.

In so far as n can generalize from
the experience of the last few years,
women are taking all their new civic
duties with ~commendable thorough
ness. The widespread activities of
the women's citizen associations have
done much to arous the female voter
to the realities, and nor especially
the responsibilities of civic life. And
these excellent bodies have worked on

Movement of Wheat
In Kansas City is
Greater Than Ever

KANSAS CITY.-According to the
records of the board of trade the
movement of wheat in Kansas City
this season eclipses all previous
records. A statement issued by the
Chamber of Commerce states that
business conditions in Kansas City
territory reflect the benefit OF this
tremendous grain movement.
Practically all of the vast sum of
money obtained from this crop will
first find it's way to the farmer" says
the statement, land place him in a
position to pay his obligations to the
banks and country merchants. When
he has done this he Immediately be-
comes buyer. The country mer-
chant likewise becomes buyer. The
banker, with the farmers paper
taken up and sufficient funds on
hand, is ready to extend credit to all
who may deserve it. While the
movement of wheat is the opening
wedge for this avenue of business,
it is not all, as prospects are very
bright for an exceedingly good corn
crop which will add more millions Of
buying power"

Farmers Can Sc
cure Patents for
Name of Farms

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary
Wallace of the department of agri-
culture has sent out notice that he
hopes will come to the attention of
all farmers proud of ther farm de-
velopment. He wants them to know
that they can patent the name of
their farms and so establish a
patented standard of quality for
their produce.
The United States patent office re-
Gently approved and published in the
Patent Office Gazette a trademark
covering 'Hawkeye," the name of an
Iowa farm owned by Ledru C..
Willis, breeder of pure bred hogs,
cattle and sheep. He is the first
stockman, and probably the first
farmer Secretary Wallace says, to
obtain a United States trademark
for his farm. If farmer uses his
farm name and trademark as part
of his selling operations the trade
mark protects the owner of the farm
in interstate commerce. Several
states have laws which authorize the
registration of farm names with the
state authorities, but a trademark
registered by the government pro-
tects the use Of the farm name out
side of the state in which the farm is
located.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
THANKS THE PUBLIC
Secretary Proud of Re-
suits of Idaho s Big
gest Fair

To state that the 1921 Southeastern
Idaho Fair was a success from every
angel would be putting it mildly and
to assume that this success is due to
the efforts of any one individual
would surely be a mis-statement of
actual facts. If, however, one should
attempt to mention the parties re-
sponsible for the success of the fair
the list would run into thousands.
This being the case, kindly accept
my personal thanks and the thanks
Of the entire fair board for your eff
forts toward making the most ex-
travagant hopes more than realized.
1t has been my privilege to attend a
great number of fairs in the north.
west and feel safe in saying that
our fair was the best balanced fair
l have ever attended.
The hog department was the best.
hog show ever neld in the Pacific
northwest to date. The horse de-
partment was an example of the fin
est draft animals in the United
States. This department was a
means of showing us class of ami,
mails we never realized were owned
in the Snake river valley. The beef
cattle department showed us some
Of the fine cattle from all sections,
and just as much should be said re-
garding the fine dairy cattle display.
No one could have taken peep
into the agricultural hall without a
feeling Of pride in the county and
thanking his maker for the privilege
of being a citizen of Bingham county.
The women's building and the edu-
cational department were examples
of beauty and information worthy
the consideration of all attending.
The total number who attended
the fair and took part in the pro-
gram with their smiles and cheers
may be classified approximately as
Tuesday, 1900; Wednes-
day, $500; Thursday, $500 and FRI
day, 4200.

IDAHO ASKED TO
CONTRIBUTE WHEAT
Famine Stricken People
of Near-east Ask
For Produce
By GUY FLENNER

1
l have been asked to help in
cause I regard most worthy-th
near east relief. In Idaho com
mittee has been organized with Gov
ernor Davis as honorary chairman.
The whole thing may be summe,
up briefly: There are literally thou
sands upon thousands of men
women and children starving in tn,
near east-God's children dying il
droves for want of food.
These are mostly farmers ant
families of farmers-the producers
of great area stricken with famine
and pestilence on account of {
variety Of circumstances familiar tt
all who read the public prints.
Idaho is asked to help in a ma
tional extension of aid backed up by
leaders of thought and action in this
great country-men like Harding
and Hoover, whose great hearts
bleed for the misery inflicted upon q
portion Of the Creators footstool.
The appeal in Idaho is not for
money, but for produce-wheat. 1t
is the cry Of the starving farmer to
the farmer in the land of plenty.
Under carefully thought out
plan these contributions of wheat,
one-tenth of one per cent of the
grain raised last year, is to be col
lected from the contributors at vari-
Gus points and credited from eleva-
tor to elevator until it reaches ports
of shipment.
The grain producing section of
south Idaho has been districted.
James Duckworth is chairman for
the upper Snake river valley. l.. G..
LanglOis is chairman for the lower
Snake river valley and William Hyde
is chairman for southeastern Idaho
The first district is asked to con-
tribute 3644 bushels, the second
1893 and the third 4O96 bushels.
What more need be said?
What more stirring appeal can be
made than one visualizing the ter
rible condition of these people?
Out on the farms of Idaho there is
a measure OF continued prosperity.
Children are healthy. Parents are
rugged. To- some, it is true, there
has not come that amount of ma
terial wealth they had hoped for, but
to none has come-abject poverty.
To none has come the wolf of famine
or the scourge of epidemic. In no
community in this state is there
stalking death.
From this section of comparative
plenty surely can be spared the mite
that is asked for suffering humanity.
1t is not question of preventing
death, but of reducing it to the low
est possible minimum. 1t is not a
question Of saving all those who suf-
fer the horrors of starvation, but of
saving as many as can be quickly
reached.
1t would not be like Idaho to deny
this crumb from the table.

built as fast as possible during good
weather, according to Professor Nor
man B. Adkison, MEMBER of the

The first unit will be in the form
of a cross. The. pavilion style of

The commission met with a num-
Der of the members of the chamber
of commerce of Payette Saturday
and worked out some of the difficult
les which presented themselves in
the way of water rights, fire protec-
tion and title of the property.
Water samples from both the
Payette and Standpoint sites will be
analyzed by the state chemist. In
vestigations are now being carried
on by the department of public well
fare in regard to the water supply

institutions.
The plans for both hospitals are
now in the office of the department
of public works awaiting approval
before actual constructor begins first

COUNCIL MEETS IN
REGULAR SESSION
Assessment Roll Ac-
cepted, Ordinance
is Passed

The assessment roll for distric
No. 26 was adopted by the city coun
Gil at their regular meeting helt
Tuesday evening. Mayor Peck wa!
absent and Councilman Berrymar
acted as mayor in his place.
Estimate No. was presented by
the Wheelwright Construction com
pany and it was referred to the
finance and the water committees
for consideration. This is the last
estimate to be presented before the
final settlement.
The council passed an ordinance
repeating Ordinance No. 255 in re-
gard to the keeping and storing OF
hides within the city limits.
The grass seed for the parking has
arrived and the council discussed
whether or not it would be better to
plant the seed now or wait until
spring. The matter, however, was
left with the committee in charge OF
this work with power to act.
The Wheelwright Construction
company asked to be released from
their contract regarding the new
wells. According to their contract
they were to go depth of 1876 feet.
This has been done, but it was found
to be necessary to go deeper in order
to get sufficient water. The city
then made contract with Mr..
Chealey, the well driller, in regard
to the extra depth of fifty-three and
a half feet. The construction, COM
pany wished to be released from
their contract before they paid the
we'll driller for what work he had
done for them. 1t was then moved
and seconded that the matter be left
with the water committee and the
city attorney with power to act.
Councilman Anderson brought up
the matter of some closed streets in
the cemetery, which had not been
seeded and prepared for sale as lots.
He thought it advisable that the
council make arrangements to have
manure hauled and the lots be put
in condition. The matter was. left
in the hands of the cemetery COM
mittee.
Councilman Clark said he had
to tell the council or to
suggest. He then said he thought
it would be advisable to move the
ditch one block west and
1t would cut out this ditch which is
an eyesore to the town. The matter
was referred to the street and alley
and the city attorney with
to move that dich If it
was legally possible.

TWO BAD HABITS.

There is an evil that eats income
faster than a debt drawing heavy in.
tcrest; it is carelessness. Its twin
brother is thoughtlessness. When a
worker does not care about the cost
of replacing the damage he does, he
does not put things in their proper
place. He does not put them in proper
condition to be put away. He just
naturally leaves gates open so stock
can get out, leaves tools where they
will be lost or broken, does his work
in slipshod manner that costs the
owner money. Some excuse every blum.
der with Il didn't think" 1t is q
workers business to think. That is
what brains are for. They are care
less or they would make an effort to
think-careless or lovesick! They who
do not think about their work are al
most as bad as they who think but do
not work, says Successful Farming
These are habits no boy or girl can af-
ford to cultivate, for they will operate
later in life when they own the things
that are damaged or destroyed by
thOughtlesSness or carelessness.
