culle were sold; making a total of
TAO sacks or GAG per acre. These
were also sold for seed and brought
total of $98736. Summing up the
totals for the II acres, we find that
Mr.. Gummerson sold a total of 31O4
sacks of seed, bringing him $40O5.63,
or an average of $3S3.SO per acre.
While these potatoes were given
considerable care and were rogued
during the season for undesirable
plants, bringing the cost of produce
ton up considerably higher than the
average field grown for table stock,
Mr.. Gummerson still has a very nice
profit left over and above the cost
of production.

LARGE CROWD

One of the largest crowds that

Excellent music was furnished by

six pieces and all in attendance voted
it one of the most enjoyable social
affairs that had been held in Noun

citation for the liberal patronage
which helped to make the affair such
a decided success.

Editor, Republican
Dear Sir:
The Seventh Day Adyentists of
Mountain Home wish to make it
known that they are in no way con-
nected with the people who are pre-
dieting the coming of Jesus Christ
and the end of the world, February
6, 1925. While they believe and
teach that the second coming of
Christ is near, there are still unful-
filed prophecies which must be full
filled before that event.
First and foremost among these
is the one found in Matt.
"a, IA. This gospel of the kingdom
must be preached in all the world for
4 witness, then shall the end come"
Seventh Day Adventists do not be-
ieve the day or the hour of His will
'e made known but that all may
know when it is near.

THE RAILWAY STATION

If first impressions are lasting i'm
pressions, then we can scarcely ov-
erestimate the Importance to a town
of neat, tidy railway station. Both
the first and last thing that many a
traveller sees of a city is the station.
And if ours is attractive, clean, and
comfortable looking, he will say Of
Mountain Home when he goes else
where: 1T is fine little town"
People of the West who an
preciate the value of the right kind
of advertising for their cities, under
stand this, and make their railway
stations works of architectural beau
ty. Such buildings are no more ex-
pensive than ordinary stations, but
they are more attractive. They con-
vey the right kind of an impression.
What we here in Mountain Home
can do is to show an interest in the
proper maintenance of the grounds
around the station, and individually
refrain from defacing the walls and
putting uglineas where ugliness
mean a black mark against our town
in the minds OF travellers.

A remarkable idiosyncrasy OF Ida
no law has just been developed in a
neighboring county. A man was
tried on a charge of murder in the
District court and the jury found
him insane. This verdict resulted
in acquittal and the defendant was
discharged. Complaint charging in
sanity was then lodged in the Pro-
bate court and at this Inquiry AMI
other jury found the accused sane
So now, apparently, nothing can be
done. The man in the one instance
is crazy and not accountable for his
acts; in the other instance he is
sane, and hence accountable for his

acts. In some states, it is stated, a
verdict such as that returned by the
District court jury would be sufi-
cient to commit the defendant to the
state institution for he insane. And
certainly why not? Such miscar-
riage of justice are what is inspir-
ing so much contempt for all law.
Here is a chance for the Idaho legis-
lature, now in session, to plug an
excuseless loophole in our criminal
laws. Thaw at least went to the asy-
lum for killing White.-North Side

AIR PRESSURE TEST
PROVED A SUCCESS

The city recently had test at the
city water well which proved sue
eessful. 1t was the raising of wa
ter by air; that is. forcing compress
ed air into the body of water in the
well and causing the water to raise
as If pumped. A small three quar-
ter inch pipe was inserted into the
water with so per cent of the pipe
submerged and then the air pressure
of 100 pounds to the inch was ap-
piled. AT first with 20 to so pounds
pressure there was no result but
when 100 pounds was applied the
water shot high into the air. The
pipe carrying the air was inserted
into the pipe the water was forced
out of, the afr being furnished by
one of the highway compressors.
The test proved successful, but, it
is claimed, that the air system of
pumping is not as reliable as the
pumps that are known to do the
work at all times. An air pump is
in use at Emmett, Idaho, but we are
not informed as to its reliability.
With the air system the difficulty of
fine sand would be overcome. Sand
that Is fne as -four has always beer
a source of trouble in pumping in
Burley, and it would be a great saw
ing il the air pressue would do the
work that is now done by the pumps.
The air system may be tried out some
day on larger scale than was re-

BIG RETURNS FROM
IL ACRES OF SPUDS

Three hundred and thirty-three
dollars and eighty cents per acre
from seed potatoes in 1924, is the
record made by T. c.. Gummerson of
Burley, Route 1. This is a very
creditable showing in view of the
fact that there has been a large
over production of potatoes this year
and potatoes in general have been
considered a very good paying crop.
Good seed and good cultural meth
DDS, resulting in a high yield per
acre, of high quality potatoes, were
responsible for the above returns.
Mr.. Gumerson's field consisted of 9
acres of Melted Gems and acres of
Idaho Rurals. Seed used by Mr.
Gummerson was Montana Certified
Russets and Idaho Rurals which has
passed the two field inspections for
certification by E. j. Konrad of Hey
burn. From the acres of Russets,
Mr.. Gummerson sold 1875 sacks of
number ones, 259 sacks of number
two's and so sacks of culls, and has
so sacks of number one seed left for
his own planting next year This
makes total of 1854 sacks or an
of 262 sacks per acre. These
potatoes brought Mr. Gummerson
$3O1S.27, says the Burnley Herald.
From the acres of Rurals, 664
sacks of number ones, 16 sacks of
small selected seed and so sacks of

WHERE IS OPPORTUNITY

Few of us are gifted with the Wis
ion necessary TO see opportunities
that lie nearest at hand And when
the editor says few of us, he in
cludes himself along most of his
Mountain Home friends. An excel
lent illustration of this is a story
told by Professor Agassiz, and retold
time and again by famous lectur-
er.
There was once q man who owned
farm in Pennsylvania who became
dissatisfied with farming. This was
in the eraly days of the oil business,
and so he applied himself to all the
aspects of the then new and promis-
ing industry He learned how petro-
leum was formed, how refined, and
how marketed. In short he learned
all he could about the theory, and
then he sold his farm for 1898.
Shortly after the sale, the new own
er went over the place to look after
the facilities for watering stock. He
found that his predecessor had fixed
a plank across the surface of a lit |
tie stream running through the farm,
and this plank was set at the right
depth to hold back a black scum
through which cattle would not put
their noses.
This was unusual. With the as
sistance of experts, he conducted an
investigation. The black scum, they
discovered, was petroleum, and the
farm 1t was later found was one of
the richest oil fields of the East
oil field that biologists later declared
was worth 100000, 900 to the state
of Pennsylvania. Here the man who
studied the theory of finding, refin-
ing, and marketing coal oil, had been
damming back a stream that was
pouring forth millions in oil The
city of Titusville stands today on the
farm that he sold for $S33-in order
to go to far away places where he
thought opportunity was awaiting
him.
No doubt this man was no more {
blind than most of us here in Noun
tain Home. The writer is of the {
opinion that there is plenty of
wealth and opportunity to be found .
right in our community, and some .
day some man of vision will come i
along and see what all of us should t
have seen long ago. t
The greenest pastures are always n
further up the hill Distance lends +
enchantment" In other words we
think that we must travel far away
to find opportunities.
But opportunity is everywhere
nearby and far away. If you lack the
necessary vision you will not find
fame or fortune by travelling to the N
far corners of the world. II you n
have vision you will probably find il
lust what you most desire right here W
