TO GROVE CITY STOCKHOLDERS

Stockholders in the Grove City
Ditch are informed that the direc-
tors are planning to get the water
in for use as soon as they can, and
that they are also holding down ex-
penses while getting the work done
that is absolutely necessary. The
treasury is empty and in debt, and
considerable work has to be done
and a new water divider built at
the lower end of the Asylum grounds.
The directors are devOting some of
their own time to the matter and
some of them promised the water
master they would respond with
wheelbarrows and shovels to work
in the cement crew II he got stuck
for help.
Most of the bitches among the
residences need cleaning out, and
waterusers are urged to give what
help they can, cleaning near their
property. The directors cannot do
it all nor advance the money to hire
men. There will be plenty of water
this year, and people are requested
to make large openings into their
yards SO the watering can be done
quickly. That plan gets the best
results, and will enable the water
master to establish a schedule to
give quick, regular service. 17-18p

CHAPTER III

| The family lives on the farm
works on the farm. The farm is ;
combination factory, workshop, OF
flee, and eating, living and sleeping
quarters for the whole family.
The income, the spending money
! the family expense for necessitie
and pleasures, the funds for the up
keep of the farm business, must come
from the farm. The food for the
family must come from the farm
whether we grow it or buy it.
1t takes planning, it takes heat
work, it takes family team work the
year round to make farming gooC
business and the farm good home.
A we'll regulated farm is the best
institution on earth-a poorly regu-
lated farm is about as poor as any
other poor institution.
When all the good laws and Fegu-
lations are passed, when all the good
organizations are perfected, when all
the good business and marketing sys-
TENS are worked out, it will still be
up to the farmer to manage his own
farm and to provide for his own fam
lily.
A good farm with a good farmer
and a good family on it is the best
institution on earth. 1t should oper-
ate profitably SO weekin in the year,
but in order to do that, there must
be something raised on it besides one
crop that is harvested in the sum-
mer and fall. There must be live
stock OF some kind or many kinds,
for they operate factories and work
almost day and night. A cow is a
factory; so is pig or. hen.
On a good farm the father, mother,
and children work and plan togeth-
er. If they don't there is something
wrong The good father doesn't
overwork his family; he doesn't de-
prive them of pleasure or rob them
of their earnings.
On a good farm there is work
every day for every member of the
The boys and girls can help
feed and clothe the family. They
can own something of their own to
do it with such as sheep, cows, pigs
or poultry, and the boys and girls
can find both pleasure and profit In
taking care of them. A fine friend

yield the best returns. The. scared
cow, the wild chicken, the sheep that
is cuffed and abused, do not do so
we'll as if they were petted and treat
ed as companions.
People who have hay to sell every
year and worry about the price and
sometimes have to sell it at five or
six dollars a ton and seldom get ten
dollars a ton, should get livestock
% eat the hay. Market it at home
~ feeding it little at time thru
)ut the season, and the livestock |
veil cared for will make it worth
more each year than it sells for at

We eat 365 days in the year and
We ought to raise most of our food.

We can raise it as cheap as others.

BLACKFOOT CITY ELECTION

At Tuesdays election, Mayor
Peck's administration received ano-
Their endorsement by having the tick
ct elected with but scattering vote
written in. The vote was compar-
atively light, and it was reelection
of the council with three changes in
councilmen, James Ryan going in
in the place of c.. c. Clarke in the
First Ward, Rex Dunlap in place
of H. B. Snodgrass in Ward Two,
and Guy Stevens in place Of H. B.
Kinney in Ward Three. Each of the
retiring councilmen went out by
choice and some of the others want
ed to be relieved but were asked to
serve again. Mayor Peck received
284 votes, and thirteen people wrote
in the name Of Nofear Davis for
that positions Thirty-four people
wrote in the name of L. B. White
for councilman in the Fourth Ward,
and thirty-eight wrote In the name
of H. C. Tavey to serve in the First
Ward, and ten for w. H. Snyder Of
the Second Ward. All of these men
probably stood for just about what
the others did, so it was just a choice
between good men.
The ticket received the following
vote: Peck 284; Quillin, 296; Thore-
sen. 286; Ryan, PSI; Bergman,
279; Dunlapfi 1856; Taylor, 1872; Ste
vens, 298; Anderson, 2S3; John
Boyle, 258.
The new council will organize
evening.

LOOP ROAD FOR BLACKFOOT

At tonight's meeting of the Com
mercial Club will be discussed the
matter of getting the Oregon Short
Line to consider extending the loop
road connecting towns in the upper
valley with Blackfoot.i
There is a link of twelve miles
that is unfinished between Goshen
and Idaho Falls, and there Is a link
Of few miles extending out of Firth
to Goshen, and there is need of
link from Goshen down thru Presto
and Wicks to connect with Black
foot. There is link reaching from
Blackfoot west two and half miles
then up the valley thru Rose into
Lavaside. A link to connect that
with Firth would complete the loop
for the Blackfoot country.

LOCAL ARTIST COMPLETES
SET OF CLEVER AID SIGNS

Merrill Boyle has just completed
set of 106 clever and artistic sign
posts advertising the stock of the
Boyle Hardware company, and these
are to be posted on the various roads
leading into town. Each sign calls
attention in a striking way to some
article of which the Boyle Hardware
company make specially, and when
set up, will also be marked with the
number of miles to Blackfoot. The
signs are mounted on sturdy posts,
which will be set securely in the
ground, and should prove an effec-
tive advertising medium. They are
inscribed in the lower corner in
small letter, Tub. Signs" disclosing
the identity of the artist to those
who know him as club" Boyle.

If we do not raise it, we either pay
| somebody good price to do it or we
do without it. Some Of your neigh
bOrs probably make money raising
strawberries to sell and if you do not
raise any, you either do without or
pay others for raising them and also
pay one or more persons or firms a
profit for handling them for you.
Why not raise all you need, save the
cost of packing and shipping and
the dealers profits, and have them
| fresh and good!
People sometimes go to church,
social or festival and pay good
prices for berries and cream, and
then do without at home until the
next festival. Others have festivals
every day and are healthy, happy
and not worrying over the cost of
berries and cream-it costs only
some time and some work and they
have that up their sleeves all the
millionaire's pocket. Set out some
lionair class.
On the farm where they have
cows, orchard and garden, lots of
garden, they are usually healthy and
strong. They do not need medicine
because nature, puts all the needed
ingredients into their food via the
soil and the plants. The family
without a garden is usually the
family that goes to the drug store to
buy what nature offers them thru
plant life in the garden and orchard.
Live out of the garden in summer
and out of the cellar in winter and
you will not need to worry much
about high freight rates.
People often complain that hams
and bacon in the stores sell at high
prices based on the shipment of the
hogs to the packing plants on the
Missouri river and the packed pork
products shipped back again, with
high freight and several profits
added. That makes it better for the
man who dresses his own hogs and
cures the meats. He is not con-
cerned about the price his neighbor
pays unless he decides to supply that
and then the high freight
protects his own market. Stop |
worrying and get you a hog.
In planning your garden, be care
full not to adopt tract that lies in
the shade at any time of the day. A
garden needs the morning sun, the
MONDAY sun and the afternoon sun,
and if it lacks one of these things 1t
will record the effects of it in
spindling stalks and "blank cart
ridges" There is another thing that
is almost as bad for garden as shade,
and that is poultry and livestock. If
the garden tract is shaded, move the
garden or remove the trees. If it
is not protected, fence it with woven
wire; it is not expensive, and the
wire will last for future years. Do
ng without a garden is more expen-
,ive than buying fencing materials.
# your garden has not been very
in other years and you
nave already started to plant, just
start another garden out in the field.
You will be surprised to see how
it will grow if given a
chance out in the open, where the
ield soil nourishes it.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEET

At Thursdays meeting of thu
Blackfoot Commercial club, part o
the evening was devoted to dairy
matters that are reported upon un
der the subject of Cheese Factor
ies," in this issue, and part of the
session was devoted to a discussion
of the continuation of the Farm Blu
reau. The state and federal apprO-
priations of $1,000 total are ready
for usey but the county has to pay
= the rest of the cost. The commits
sioners offer to appropriate $4,000
on condition that some other body
will find the rest of the estimated
$4,000. 1t was not considered feas-
1ble to raise 1t by membership fees
as the farmers themselves are d.
vided as to the wisdom of carrying
on the work. Some Of them want
the bureau but are not willing to
pay the membership fee of five dol
lars or any other sum. Proposals
to have the merchants take member
ships were not considered advisable
while there is Indifference among
farmers who are as able to pay as
the merchants. Most of the people
in business are hard hit, and while
they consider the Farm Bureau a
worthy thing to support, they feel
that unless the farmer wants it, and
wants it badly enough to help sup
port it, there is not much use in fur
nishing 1t to him, for he may not
make use OF it.
dollars by memberships among the
90
levy on the Commercial Club was
considered and rejected as something
the club could not afford, and for
the further reason that the members
first want to know that thevfarmers
want it and will use 1t before they
make the sacrifice that seems about
like borrowing the money to pay the
bill. A suggestion that the club
match money on some fractional
basis, the club putting up a certain
amount for every hundred dollars
which the farmers turn in for men,
berships was considered, and receiv-
ed favorable support. One of the
speakers said the Farm Bureau was
a useful and helpful thing just now
In the development of production
and cooperative marketing, and it !
would be a blow to agriculture to
let 1t lapse in this county, but that
1t had about reached the parting of
the ways and IL the farmers could
not see its advantages and support
It on It's merits to the extent of their
ability 1t might better be allowed
to die and pull agriculture down
a few degrees with it and thereby
prove it's worth. Such a process
would involve sacrifice and much
loss while learning the lesson but
It might be necessary. The club
adjourned with considerable express
sion that the Farm Bureau must
not be allowed to die.
