keep tab on the officers elected and do
not attend any more meetings for sew
eral years or until they have been
awakened to the fact that the officers
or managers of their organization
have caused the down fall of their in

1t is invariably the case in the cleo
ton of some officer to a public place,
that the farmer forgets all about him
until the time comes for another cleo
ton and then they would not wake up
if some other person did not want the
job and came around and tell the farm
ers what the other fellow failed to do.
The Farmer fails to think for if he did

the farmer refuses to think. If the
farmer would only think he could
easily discern that we have too many
laws now on record and what we really
need is fewer laws and more inforce-
ment.
A prominent Judge in this locality
once said to me-that it would be a
pleasure to sit on the bench and admin
lister justice to the people if it was
possible, but that there was to -
much law written On the statute books
and it was always possible to give
where it belonged. Another

that he had put in a number of years

the successful lawyer keeps the case
out of court and that he never prac-

learning and was yet new in the
game.

even against ourselves to some extent.
Had the process of fermentation been
completed in the human body in the
case of all the yeast eaten bythewo-
men of America in the last six months
we suppose the flying machine indus
try would have received a setback.
Probably our worldly angels would be
floating for exercise instead of walk

ever wouldn't have it so. AS for the

nothing, the only safe way is to take
the medication under the direction Of
a family doctor. He may be a hide
bound sort of person died in the red
tape of a fossilized code of ethics, but
he can be depended on to protect his
people from the possibility of self in

deal of abuse of course, but it is a de-
licate piece of machinery after all,
and as it is the only one we have it is
well to watch it carefully.

paparantly they were not very par
ticular about any secrecy because they
were talking loud enough for me to
hear them two seats away-while at
first the writer paid very little atten-
ton to them but when Que of them be-
gan telling about the profit in the culls,
the writer became very much interest
ed when the two gentlemen decided
they could turn over their warehouses
free if they were only allowed the

appeared dealing in potatoes and do
ing business with an organization of
farmers-were these farmers thinking
or had just began to think?
Dear farmers wien you read this see

something and when you read anything
in the papers or journals try and see
what you can read between the lines.

around before next election asking
understand that they are going to make
fewer laws and abolish many that are
you to vote for them be sure that you

And when Mr.. Organizer comes
around to organize you be sure you
understand his proposition before
you join and be sure that you follow
up the organization after you do join.
Don't leave your business for George
to do, because your interest will be
neglected. The man you put at the
head of your cooperative organization
needs you more after taking the job
than before he took it.

FADS AND
SANE FANCIES.

1t is amazing how readily the Amer
lean people embrace a fad and run it
to the ground Tack a new name to
an archaic theory or an abandoned
product, give it a touch of efficient
publicity and it sweeps the country
from end to end. The danger of this
national weakness is brought to the
front when the fad takes the form of
self medication. Recently we have had
the yeast fad diligently promoted by
the yeast manufacturers as the great
est health promoter of the ages. Then
on the heels of the yeast eating wave
came a dozen or more always-keep-
well-and-be-beautiful derivatives, the
unusual word 'tvitamine" capturing the
public fancy, conquering common
5ense by linking itself with the weak
ness Of unthinking men and the vanity
of unthinking women. Fortunately old

Russia recently. He tells us that Rus
STA is being ruled by the Jews under
assumed names, that, we may very well
believe for both practices are native
to the Jews of all countries, and it
dosen't require an extraordinary mind
to preceive that the Jews are getting
the control Of the civilized world. but
we cannot accept without some ques-
tioning some of Mr.. Gloeckler's fur
Their statements. He claims that nor
maIly there would be about 100 acres
of land into wheat per farmer. If n
has ever read Count T~olstoes' (of Rus
sian Royalty essays, letters and mis-
cellani, wherein he SO graphically de-
scribes Russian farmers, their causes,
the measures put forth for relief, and
replies to questions put forth by diff
ferent societies and government agen-
cies as to an effective method to over
come their habitual recurrence, one
very readily sees the great gap be-
tween what Count Tolstoi has said and
what this man says. B.
The letters to which I refer were
written in ~1S90-91-32. The conditions
of starvation Tor under feeding Of the
pheasants had then lasted for 20 years
and altho his letters were of 80 years
ago we have no reason to believe that
conditions were eyer better, for that
was the condition which bred the
Bolshevicks meaning people who want
and believe in a change of conditions)
and why should they not? One-third
of the population of Russia had to sup
port the other two-thirds and go hum
CRY themselves to do it. When condi-
tons became so dangerous, many of
the wealthy Count (Toltstoi among
them) established free eating houses,
furnishing their own money and effort
to look after and supply them, with the
peasant doing free all the work for the
relief of their old the infirm and little
children, until such time when the
government absolutely forbade this re-
Mf-when they were compelled to quit
and leave them to starvation.
That is the kind of government
which Mr.. Gloeckler and those for
whom he is working, desire to see re-
established. AS he calls it, the cap
italistic government" Count Tolstoi
writes of all peasant families being
classed under three heads-the first,
being called wealthy, with an average

to five hired men, al average of six
horses and an average of six desyan-
tins of land Ca d~esyantin being of 2

BE MASTER OF YOUR OWN MINDS.

If there is thing needed in this
country more than another to pull us
out OF the hole we are in it is for all
citizens to be Master of Their Own
Minds. To listen to lecturers, to read
papers and magazines, but not to
swallow them whole; study what is
said, make the gray matter which God
has given you function, nothing is so
good to develop your reasoning quail
ties as exercise of them, but try to
steer clear of narrow ~mindedness, and
pessimism-for they are your worst
enemies. Newspapers, magazines and
Lecturers are like most all people. all
have some bad, however good they
may appear.
AS a community we are quite for
tunate in having a local news gan
which is striving to be broad and I'M
.prejudiced, but our state and national
papers are already wearing the nets to
entangle your minds for the next cleo
ton, but let us hold ourselves mental
ly on the defense, and make them work
their logic to the limit before they
sell" us.
The salesman of any line of goods
who enters the private office of a real
big business man will always meet a
very hostile mind-held hostile in self
defense-and that salesman has to
nave a pretty strong mind, clear logic,
n be able to produce the goods be-
fore he can win any concessions from
such a business man, and that mind
is the very thing which makes of him
a big business leader. Listen to all the
other fellow has to say, ponder well his
arguments, but hold tight to the in
stinct of your own heart If, after due
elaboration, you find he has given you
any real fundamentals, they may then
be admitted into the private sanctuary
of your consciousness.

WHEN FIGURES
LIE.

The Reclamation Service last year
was appropriated S1,75O,0O for the
Minidoka project Of which the Ameri-
can Falls dam is a part. An announce
ment comes from the Reclamation
Service that less than half a million
OF this amount was actually received,
considerably less.
Yesterday the news was given out
that an appropriation of $1,000, 900 was
given the Minidoka project. There is
hardly a remote possibility that this
sum will be actually forthcoming. 1t
is not because of lack of appropria-
tons that the Reclamation Service is
handicapped, but lack of money. This
is an instance of where figures really
lie.

Most people have an idea that gar

true where the land Is poorly drained
and waterlOgged. The water keeps out
the air and the roots cannot fed the
plants.
Cultivation has another object, in
that it breaks up the soil particles and
makes plant food available for the
