ONE wOMAN's WAY

Attention is being called by Wash
ington papers to Mrs. Magnus John
son, wife of the Minnesota senator,
who has declined to mount the $50
cial ladder" now that she has reached
the Capital City to make her home.
They call attention to the fact that
Mrs. Johnson has said she probably
wouldn't have any time to fritter
away on clubs, receptions, bridge
parties and politics and in turning
her back on them she said she 'just
wanted to live her own life" She
says it ought not be below the dig
nifty of senator's wife to do her own
washing, sewing and cooking. II
shall look after those things here"
she says, 'just as l did back in Min
nesota. There is no reason why l
should not occupy myself usefully
here, just as l did on the farm"
Sensible words from a sensible wo-
man, and worth remembering. There
are SO many people who have made
the saying live your own life" mean
all sorts of foolishnes, looseness and
nonsense, that it is refreshing to
run across one who puts a sensible
meaning in the old saying.
There is no doubt but social fool
ishness does much to keep good men
ouf NJ our bioh noi;+s,oI a.
There's more than one man around
Mountain Home who would make
good at either our state or national
capitals but who wouldn't think of
seeking the place on account of the
social customs and expensive frillsI
his wife and family would be sub
Jected to. Such things have ruined
more than one good statesman and
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1924-02-15

discouraged more than one man who
wanted to do something for his
country. SO, regardless of what kind
of a statesman Magnus Johnson
makes, if he fails he can't say he
lacked the backing of a sensible wife,
woman who does not consider
housework degrading when performed
by the wife of public official.

HIGH SCHOOL
PUPILS MAKE
FLY SURVEY
Aim of Campaign to Rid
City Of Pests.
By Barbara Schloesser

The physiology classes of the Lam
caster high school made fly survey
of the city, Wednesday, April 16, 1924.
The city was divided into three
large parts each class taking one Sec
ton. A captain was elected for each
class. Those elected were Hewlett
Barnett, captain for division A; Vir-
gil Lorenz, for division B; and Ralph
Dobson for division c. Each captain
appointed lieutenants to command the
squad in his division.
The lieutenants were given maps
of about nine blocks Each squad in
spected it's section and when they saw
a place where flies or mosquitoes
might breed or a good place for fire
to start, it was recorded on the map.
A large map, has been made and the
result of the survey shown.
The aim of this campaign was to
rid Lancaster of flies. Prizes were Of
fered for the best essays and posters
on the subject of sanitation. The first
prize for the best essay was won by
Alma Edwards, the second by Evelyn
Sherman. The first prize for the best
poster was won, by Floyd Retallick,
the second prize by Jay DobSon.

you ask?
The fly kills by the transmission of
disease from one person to another.
He transmits it in two ways, first by
mechanical transmission, he becomes
contaminated with disease germs by
frequenting filthy places and carries
them directly to the food and drink
of man. The second is by incubation
or by the biting of flies.
Can you realize that 5,570,000,0 200
flies are bred from one set of par
ents from April Is to September Is?
The breeding places for flies must
be warm, moist and full of organic
matter Manure piles, garbage cans,
human excreta, offer excellent sites
because they have these three quail
tiles. DESTROY BREEDING PLACES!
Flies carry typhoid fever from
which $4,000 people die annually, sum-
mer complaint or diarhea, cholera,
dysentary, intestinal parasitic infec-
tions, sleeping sickness and many 9TH
er terrible diseases.
There are about four effective ways
of eradication: Destroy breeding plac-
es, swat the fly, trap or poison 1t,
screen privies and homes.
1t is up to you as citizens OF COM
munity, that is noted for its cleanll-
ness, to take an earnest interest in
the eradication of flies. Cooperate
with us and your neighbor to aid
Lancaster to rid herself of this ter
rible menace which hangs over her.
Work and Win!

Develop Home
Industries.

The Boscobel Dial records that ow-
inc to a lack of local employment a
number of families have left the city
and moved to Madison and other
large centers where they can find the
means to live.
What applies to Boscobel applies
to other small towns. Our sources OF
employment are few and we do moth
ing to increase them. Naturally we
do we'll to even hold our own.
A self-supporting family in a town
means at least a thousand dollars a
year spent in the town. 1t may mean
considerably more. 1t means news
paper customer, a bank customer, a
grocery customer, and so on. Inc
more self-supporting families we get
the better for all of us.
Another reason why population IN
creases slowly in a small town If at
all. is the failure to hold the youth
of town after school days are over.
The small towns spend four or five
thousand dollars a child to raise
them to maturity and then lose them
The cities get the benefit and We
continue the rearing process. About
the time a young man or young Wom-
an is old enough to help out and pay
back the community investment they
"dig out"
There may be no complete remedy
for these things. Nevertheless, it is
we'll to bear in mind that what a
small town needs among other things
are sources of employment and a
means of providing a future for its
young people after they reach matur-
itv. And the future must provide sus-
tanned interest and charm as we'll as
material advantage.

Relieve the Farmer
BY EuualiZing Prices.

The plea of the farmer and those
who depend on him for welfare is not
for further means of plunging him in
to debt by giving him more credit,
grain subsidies, and so on, but for
more reasonable comparison between
what the farmer buys and what he
has to sell.
1t seems to us that the eastern
group of manufacturers has always
held strenuously for a high tariff on
manufactured articles which is no
more nor less than manufacturer
subsidy.
The farmer sells his product in the
worlds market for what it will bring.
He buys manufactured articles IN a
protected market Without doubt this
has a good deal to do with high
prices and the retailer is in no way to
blame.
The remedy lies in the hands OF
congress and the western farm bloc
may eventually force the tariff barons
to an issue. What we need is not
more subsidies for the farmer but a
removal of present unjust subsidies
that hurt the farmer. Fair play and
no special privilege is all the farmer
asks.

The California
Plngne Embargo.

A letter from California tells with
graphic effect of the foot and mouth
disease now prevalent in the south
ern part of the state.
The disease attacks cloven hoof an
imals. causing an irritating sore. The
animal ticks the blistered, itching
spot and conveys the disease to the
mouth and a high fever sets in. The
disease appears in a days time, is
generally fatal and there is no known
relief
State and federal governments are
cooperating to fight the disease. So
far more than $4,000 head of cattle,
some of them fine dairy stock, have
been slain. The method is to drive an
entire herd, sick and we'll, into a
great ditch excayated by steam SHOW
els. Then the firing squad begins.
Hogs and sheep also are slain if a
single member of a herd becomes i'll.
Owners are Unidentified to about
half the value of their stock. Apprais-
al boards are kept working constant
ly.
The effect on the travelling public
has been grievous. Travel over the
California border is forbidden, it be-
ing claimed that even an automobile
wheel can carry the plague. Pets may
not be taken across the border. A
man who struggled a small dog over
was fined $50 and the canine was
sent back. Tourists have simply had
to go into camp and depend on the
charity of large cities for food.
To show the ravages of the disease
and the severity which it is dealt with
in one section of two square miles ev-
cry animal was killed, even to the
dogs and cats.
All the meat packing houses of Los
Angeles are closed and meat markets
are being boycotted more or less. But
like all other Affections the disease
will run its course sooner or later and
Californians will forget the present
trouble in the stress of other things.
