TO STANDARDIZE SEEDS

George A. Line, one OF Bingham
county's legislators elect, leaves in
day or two for Chicago to repre-.
sent the Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed
Growers association at the Inter
national Crop Improvement associa-
ton, all of which hold forth In the
Windy City, beginning the second Of
December.
The names of the associations ex-
plain pretty we'll the purposes they
are working for, but it may be of
interest to our readers to know that
these things have been fostered by
the agricultural colleges of the
United States working in conjunc-
tion with such organizations as the
Idaho Grimm Growers association,
to standardize products and to pro-
tect the purchasers so that they
shall not be taken advantage Of by
unreliable dealers. When q buyer
pays so cents pound for seeds to
produce certain type Of plant, and
puts in ten pounds per acre, as COM
pared with different seed that
costs rs cents pound, the loss on
the cost Of the seed is very little, but
the loss in preparation of the field
and the use of the land for the year
that it takes to learn that they
bought one thing and got something
else.
These organizations have been
pioneering the task Of building ma
chimes for raising, harvesting, grad
ing and polishing fine seeds so that
the farmer can prepare his field
like a garden plot, put in seeds that
will all grow and make hay and not
weeds, make fine hay and not
coarse rank growth, and 1t has
taken years of effort to organize the
sales sources SO they can keep out
the unscrupulous dealers who rob
the buyers by selling at high prices
the bogus seeds.
The International Crop Improve
ment association consists of about
fifteen seed companies. including
the Idaho Grimm Alfalfa Seed COM
pany of Bingham county, and they
are working to establish standards

fine grass seeds so that markets will
use them successfully and without
the need OF, modifying those grades
at any future time.
Mr.. Line is q member of the
Grimm Growers here, and has been
active in the work since its incep-I
tion, He is 100 per cent for the
growers and for the buyers, and
some Of his friends are speaking of
him now as Andy Gump, 100 per
cent for the people. He says he
thinks he will have to go around
and meet Andy and Min and little |
Chester and now that Chester has
saved up enough of his own earn
ngs to buy the pony and cart, Mr..
Line thinks he can tell Chester
about how the Bingham
county boys break their colts.

FOOTBALL SEASON ENDS

The football season in this dis
trict ended this week when the
principals OF the Idaho Falls and
Blackfoot high schools decvided to
let things stand as they are in re-
gard to the district championship.
This leaves Idaho Falls, Blackfoot
and Pocatello with even percent
ages, Idaho Falls having the honor
OF being chosen by the state athletic
board to represent the district
against Twin Falls in which game
they were defeated by a score of
80 to 0. The Twin Falls boys were
heavier by ten pounds and won the
game by means of their weight as
shown by the fact that the Idaho
Falls boys tackled them for loses
many times on wide plays.
Saturday the Blackfoot boys
played their last game when they
gave the substitutes and new play
ers some good experience in a bat
tie royal against the Fort Hall
Indians. Because of their inexper-
ience they were defeated by the
Indians by a score of 81 to Z, but
they got taste of real fotball and
will be able to start out next year
with knowledge of what the game
is like.
The Idaho Falls team turned in
their suits Tuesday and the Black
foot team turned theirs in Monday.
Those who are not still nursing in
juries from football started practic-
ing basketball Tuesday evening. AS
a result Of an early close of the foot
ball season the boys will get a month
more Of basketball practice than
they did last year and will be able,
it is hoped, to build up strong
team before time for the tourna-
ment. Pocatello had a strong team
last year and they have nearly all OF
their men back while Blackfoot has
got to depend mostly on new ma
terial for their team, but she has
good material to work with and
more boys are intending to try out
for the team this year than ever be-
fore. A town team is also being
the players being last
year men and former basketball
stars, and they will be able to give
The high school team some good
practice and help materially In pre-
pairing them for the schedule games.
will not be back num-
Der In basketball this year.

VISITORS FROM NEW YORK

L. L. Willard, q distinguished
mining engineer of New York City,
who has charge of fifteen coal min
ing companies, made business trip
to Blackfoot recently and was the
guest of e. G. Rowdon, who lives on
North Shilling avenue.
Mr.. Willard was accompanied on
his trip vest by Miss Ruth Minick,
singer associated with the Metro
politan Opera company, and Miss
Elsa Botoff, singer, who was on
her way to San Diego, Calf.
Mr.. Willard Is treasurer of the
Terry Corporation and is interested
in Mr.. Rowdon's process for re-
covering the -four gold from Snake
river gravel, and his errand here
was to witness the operations of
the plant and study the changes
needed In the equipment to increase
the volume Of materials handled.
Mr.. Willard had never been west
of Chicago and Miss Minick had
never been west of Pittsburg. She
took lessons in voice with Mr..
Rowdon last year in New York, as
she said, to put on the finishing
touches, and she had not quite fin
ished when he came away, SO while
she was here she got three more
lessons In work she needed most.
Miss Botoff took piano lessons of
Mrs. Rowdon in New York, and she
continued her work for the week
they were here. They laughed
about New Workers coming to Black
foot for music lessons and mining
lessons and they all laughed at the
New Workers for funny thing they
did when packing to come west.
They packed box or two with some
food articles which they thought
they might not be able to obtain so
far west, and sent them by parcels
post. On opening that mail at
Blackfoot they, of course, could not
well conceal what was in it so they
faced the joke squarely and laid out
oranges and grape fruit, the canned
pineapples and Swiss cheese--things
that Mrs. Rowdon already had in
the pantry. OF course Mr.. Rowdon
joked them little about shipping
coal to New Castle, but they ate all
that came in the mail.
Mr.. Willard is good observer
and student Of what makes a good
country, and he talked much about
the things he saw here that stand
for wealth when developed. He was
the guest of the Rotary club at one
Of their dinners and addressed them
at some length, spreading very
optimistic view.

HOME FROM
MOVIE CAMP
Fl. Hall Indians Back
From Southern
Trip

A hundred and one Indians from
the Shoshone and Bannock reserva.
tion including their interpreter, Joe
Rainy, arrived home few days ago
In special cars from the movie
camps at Snake valley. ninety miles
out from Milford, Utah.
These people left home in Septem-
Der for the trip south, and had q
very pleasant and profitable trip.
They were part OF a great company
assembled by lake among lofty
mountains, to visualize the passing
Of train of $50 wagons drawn by
horses, mules and oxen, represent
ing the story of "The Covered
Wagon" living over again the
episodes Of some seventy years ago
when the wagon train in question
came across the plains and divided
near TT. Bridge, some taking the
Soda Springs and Ft Hall route and
the others the southern route.
The Indians returning from this
demonstration, say that it took
them only three days to act their
part In the tragedy, and the rest of
the six weeks they were witnessing
the parts OF the others and getting
acquainted with the whole affair
The ferrying across the river, the
encampments, the journey along the
shores and by the high mountains,
the Indian fights, the defense in the
block house and fighting thru the
post holes, the taking of prisoners
for slaves, all these things were
photographed amid splendid mount
ain scenery, and 1t is expected that
they will be shown on the screen in
three or four months from now.
It would be very gratifying
thing for the Blackfoot theaters to
secure this film and show it for the
flrst time or early in It's use, to
Blackfoot audiences. Some OF the
occurred in the Blackfoot
county, among the Indians who live
near the town and whose fathers
participated in the fights.
Iflpeople in this country could
read the story and then have an op-
portunity to see the film, it would be
an unusual treat.

little city. III soon be back and can
tell you that it feels good to say these
words.
While l have had different sum

am filling Chautauqua dates on Mid

few days. Mrs. Howard and l expect
to visit some eastern points on bust
ness and pleasure, then we'll return to

have more pep and ginger for the
next years work.
Hear good reports everywhere on

ternoon when I am introduced as one
of North Dakota's leading musicians,

Whiskey Cars, Hold-Up Men
Enter State


at is reported that, attracted by
our splendid crops, large number
of burglars, hold-up men, and whis
key runners have invaded our state
from Omaha and other large cities
to the south and expect to reap a
rich harvest in money and merchan-
disc" says statement issued by
Governor Nestos today.
Continuing the Governor said:
II desire to call the attention of
Gals to these facts and to suggest
that while they undoubtedly fairly en-
force all the laws of our state, that
for the protection Of the life, the
health and the property Of our people,
they keep the jungles clear, rigidly
enforce the laws against vagrancy and
the carrying Of concealed weapons,
and that they keep constant vigil to
prevent and to punish the depreda-
lions of the robber, the burglars and
the whiskey runner and seller.
The administration will support
these officers fully in the full, fair and
fearless discharge Of their duties and
powers as police officers under the
laws of our state. i believe the At
torney General has already advised
local law officers that they will have
the support Of his office to the fullest
extent in dealing with law breakers
of this type. .=-
also wish to urge upon the bust
ness men and the city and village Of
fcials Of our state, that during the
next three months extra precautions
be taken to guard and protect life and
property. .l,'.

Bar Board to Bar LAWYERS

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 16.-Authority
of the state board Of bar examiners to
attempt disbarment of attorneys who
have refused to pay the $15 license
fee required by state law was brought
into issue today by c. L. Dawson,
Fargo attorney, who obtained tenn
porary injunction restraining the
Fargo Forum from publishing legal
notice barring them from practice.
Judge A. T. Cole, Cass county district
court signed the order returnable
August p.
When the state board on June 6,
adopted a resolution to take this &C
ton Of disbarment, Taylor Crum,
Fargo attorney in letter to the at
torney general took the position that
the board was attempting to collect
the fee by threat and without "pre-
tense of instituting legal proceedings"
Official advertisements stating that
80 lawyers Of North Dakota are pro-
hibited from practicing law because
they have failed to pay the Sis an
nual license fee were dispatched for
newspaper publications today by the
State Bar Board. 1t is the first gen.
eral action taken by the board under
the "head tax" placed upon lawyers of
the state by the legislature. .a
In addition to the advertisement
the board dispatched about 200 let
tiers to clerks Of court and judges
stating the lawyers named were not
permitted to practice. The action, it
is stated, follows a campaign by the
board to collect all delinquent fees.
There are about 500 lawyers who
have paid the SIS license fee for the
current year, it is stated. ~

Exhibits Are Wanted For
The Ward County Fair

A general spirit of cooperation with
the Ward County Fair is being mani
Tested and particularly in the matter
of exhibits. In order to make the
show success a large number of
citizens Of city and county must do
their bits toward that success. It may
be only a plate of crab apples or
plums, loaf of bread, a can of fruit,
a few vegetables or piece of needle
work, but the total, if cooperation is
general, will be a fine large display
that will surprise all visitors. In
auiries regarding the premiums on all
these articles are coming even from
q distance and the interest seems
widespread. -...s-.
Upwards Of 1000 premium books
have been mailed out turnout the city
and county and into surrounding re-
gions. Anyone wishing a copy may
visit the secretary's office in the post
office building or write or phone for
a book. A few more are available
for sending out. The range of prem
iums covers total of $4,000 and is
most attractive. =. ....
The railroad strike is furnishing a
serious problem for the fair in addi-
ton to the strenuous undertaking of
