LINDSAYS TO
TWIN FALLSk

Lindsay Brothers this week pur-
chased the plant, business and good
will of the Twin Falls County indie
pendent, and will soon move to that
thriving section, where we hope to
be as decent to the people as they
have indicated that they would be
TO us.
We have always had great deal
of faith in Idaho's future. We be-
lieve that when Mountain Home OBJ
tains water for irrigation that this
big tract will be second to none in.,
the state. The tracts in the Twin
Falls section merely have big start.
We believe that we are going into
a field which has great possibilities
for the publishers of paper. If we
don't make good there it will be our
fault.
May all of our Mountain Home.
friends remember us as kindly as we
shall always remember them.

PREM MOORE
TO DEMONSTRATE

During the forenoon on Monday,
August 25th, Prem Moore. poultry
expert, will be at the poultry farm
of James w. Beach, about one mile
east of Mountain Home where he
will be glad to meet and talk with
all persons who are interested in
better poultry.
Mr.. Moore is one of the men who
was in charge of the Union Pacific
University special poultry train
which visited Mountain Home in
June this year. He is qualified to
give information, without charge,
concerning breeding, housing, feed
ing and culling that is valuable to
those who wish to make poultry a
paying business. He will give a
demonstration in culling that will
teach those present how to Gull their
own focks and get rid of the fowls
that will not be worth feeding this
winter.

ENTERTAIN M. E. AID

The Methodist Aid Society was de-
lightfully entertained at a picnic in
the city park last Thursday after
noon by Mesdames w. s. Beaman,
Swensen and T. w. Moore. The fol-
lowing menu was served: Fried
chicken, two kinds of sandwiches,
cabbage salad, pickles. two kinds of
cake and iced tea. There was a
fair crowd in attendance with several
visitors, and all enjoyed the after
noon immensely. At the close of the
meeting the ladies were given a
rising vote of thanks for their hos
pitality after which they were given
an invitation to serve at the next
meeting

den Of his preaching, and he is man
ifestly very sure of both. Clearly
he has made up his mind to go with
Jesus all the way. If any consider
able percentage of the church peo-
pie of Mountain Home would stand
by such a series of meetings as he
conducts, genuine revival of New
Testament Christianity would be the
inevitable result; and what is true
of Mountain Home would be true of
any community daring to test the
correctness of this statement.
Brother Ingler, who conducted the
singing, is widely known as one of
the sweet singers in revival work
He composes much of his own music
and his reputation is high all over
the country among singers of his
class. His singing is not only art
istically of high grade, but he
sings with the spirit. His solos are
not merely helpful, they are a
benediction. There are people in
Mountain Home who will long re-
member these two men. Brother
Etherton was accompanied by his
wife and Brother Ingler by his
daughter, who presided at the piano. !
Miss Flanney, was also one of the
party. All three impressed one as
cultured and refined as well as deep |
ly religious. The whole party dined |
at the Methodist Parsonage on Mon
day before leaving town.

France Should Restore
Her Mulberry Trees

Some years before the war, If you
wandered through the vineyards and
fields of Indian corn In the lower
Rh0ne valley, you could see that be-
tween the vines and between the corn
there were mulberry trees. These
trees were never allowed to bear fruit
and they were grown exclusively for
their young leaves, which served TO
nourlsh millions of silkworms for the
looms of Lyons.
Today almost all these mulberry
trees have disappeared They had be-
gun to go before 1914, for 1t was found
that cocoons could be imported cheap
er from abroad than the worm could
make them in France, and the trade
gradually disappeared. The cost of
transport and the fall Of the franc
have now combined to make Ii very
profitable business to breed silkworms
once more, but the mulberry trees
have been cut down and 1t win be
year or two before they will bear
enough leaves to enable the country
TO reduce its importations of silk.
They certainly added charming
note of green to the rather arid pro
yencal landscape, and on esthetfc
grounds the decision of the govern
ment TO encourage their replanting by
a subsidy would be welcomed Mis-
trial, 1t viii be remembered, has some
charming pages in "Mirelle" where he
described the silkworm culture

Tests ShotO How Much
Good Horses Can Pull

That a horse may develop as much
as 21-horse power In an emergency
has been demonstrated In series OF
experiments conducted by the Horse
Association Of America. The object
was to find out just how much a horse
or mule could pull
The tests showed that team of good
horses can exert a tractive pull Of
1000 pounds, or enough to lift ton
vertically. Such pulls as these are
not needed on ordinary roads. 1t was
shown that on a concrete road sur
face the amount Of pull required to
start farm wagon, weighing with
Its load more than 100 pounds, was
only 125 pounds, says London Tit-Bits.
The influence Of the road surface
was demonstrated by additional exper-
iments, which showed that to start
the same load on a good brick road
required a pull of 200 pounds, while
300 pounds were required on an asphalt
surface and $40 pounds on good dirt
and cinder surface. In other words,
the same team can pull four times
as much on concrete road as It can
on the best-surfaced dirt road.
The new tests emphasized the value
of breeding and of training In horses.
While the value Of weight in draft an
finals was demonstrated, a result OF
the tests was that gameness counted
almost as much.

The modern art of the camera has
come to rescue the oldest known Bible
from the Inevitable deterioration Of
the years. Portions Of this Bible be-

partly to put the fading papyrus in
substantial form available for study.
Only two professors have access to the

At the recent Country Life confer
ence held In ST. Louis moving pic
ture film was shown of farm boy
and his prize flock of chickens. The
birds were fine because the boy had a
scientific knowledge OF chicken culture
and had applied his knowledge to the
care of his flock. But the boy was a
mouth breather and showed further
effects of malnutrition. The chickens
were better cared for than the boy.

Uncle John

They tell us that publicity
can make the people think,
that any business will succeed
that's backed by printers ink
and, so we read advertisements
wherever we may go to learn
about the values that the people
ort to know. 80,
It seems to me most cruel
in this happy day an tine, to
waste our precious energies in
advertisin' CRIME. We print
disgustin' details under head
lines, bold an black, which help
to boost the devil and his
method of attack! -
Which leads to the conclusion
that, the meanness folks have
did, would leave .us feelin' bet
ter-if the papers KEEP it hid!
To advertise the evil when old
Satan strikes blow, is to stock
our young Americans in what
they ortn't to. know.
] hope to see the day arrive
we'd welcome 1t, Pm sure-when
our papers draw the line at stuff
that's hateful and impure.

done to occupy our space
which the devil takes advantage
of to scandalize our race!
