PREMIUM LIST FOR
IDAHO COUNTY FAIR

The County Fair is Of the greatest factors
in the development of better agriculture 1t affords
the farmer an opportunity to compare, in friendly
competition and rivalry, the results of his labors with
those Of his neghbors. He forms new acquaintance
ships and obtains ideas which he takes back to
his farm and home all of which are for betterment
OF the country as whole. This is the only place
a farmer has to compare his produce with that of
others and often times he has better class Of pro-
duce than he gave himself credit for. Not only is
the fair educational in value but it is of the
best advertising mediums for the producer of high
class produce.
Let us all pull together for the success of our
Second Annual Idaho County Fair, and thus make
for better agriculture and better Idaho County homes

usually good today and whenever he
felt unusually good he always did
something unusually bad. He racked
his brains but could think of nothing
bad enough to suit him.
IF l could only chew hole in the
side of the ship and sink the whole
thing" he thought. that would
cause a little excitement" But It
was no use trying. That was too big
job TO undertake for even such an
old villain as he was. He decided to
go into the captains cabin to see If
he couldn't frighten the old man.
The cabin was entirely empty The
wharf rat looked around On the
table in front of him was an old
leather wallet. OF course, the old
villain did not want the wallet. He
had no use for 1t. But he had always
noticed that people were very fond
of the soiled paper and money that
was In them. II would be a fine trick
on the old captain if he should
steal IL.
Picking the wallet up in his mouth.
the old villain ran to the edge of the
ship and dropped it overheard. When
he came back two big brawny sailors
were searching the cabin
1T wasn't the money" one of them
growled. but 1T had the diagram of
the room and the combination Of the
captains safe in IL. The old bird
forgot 1t when he went on shore. 1t
was the greatest find ever. We could
have pulled off the robbery tonight.
Where can it be?" He turned over
the table.
The wharf rat smiled his wicked,
crooked smile. Unknown to him, for
once in his life. he had done a good
deed.

amaZons always conquer and enslave
all that remains of the former colony
of brown ants. These slaves do all
the work In an amazon colony, even to
giving the fighters their baths before
they come into the nest after battle.
There must always be plenty of
slaves or the amazon colony will die
out because of inability to take care
of themselves. The slaves seem to be
perfectly content with their treatment.
for they never rebel or cause any
trouble to their masters.
Often the amazons will allow a pc
cutler little beetle to share their nest
with them. This sort of a beetle gives
off an aromatic odor and also delights
in scratching the backs of his amazon
friends.

sauntered along the wharf wondering
what villainy he could think up to

children to him and ordered them to
lay in as much food for their winters

was in the docks. The wharf rat
never worked himself. He put his
family all at work and then he was
free to do all the mischief he could
think Of.
AS soon as the ship pulled up to
the wharf he darted on. Through the
old ship he ran, bent on mischief. He
gnawed holes in all the sugar sacks,

have much furniture. or the strings

THE fighting amazon ant is one of
i the queerest members of the insect
world.
These ants are somewhat larger than
the ordinary garden ants of the black
and red variety and not so large as
the great black tree ants. Amazon
ants are fitted by nature to do one
thing well-fight. In almost anything
but military affairs they are poor spec
linens.
The colony of amazon ants is al
ways an armed camp. Scouts are con-
stantly on the lookout, and as soon as
these scouts report finding a colony of
brown ants the amazons get into bat
tie formation and conduct a war.
