of the required vote.

OUR TREASURES

Do we not sometimes confuse
wealth and treasure? A painting, a
piece of sculpture, may not be wealth
because not readily exchanged for
other forms of property; but each
is a treasure. Our mines, our limb
er, our farms, our industries gener-
ally, our publis utilities represent
wealth; our scenic wonders, our ed
ucationa land religious institutions
they are treasures.
The creation of wealth, desirable to
be sure, is more or less a sordid bust
nss-thls product of hands and bust
ness brains. The creation and pres
ervation, of treaures spring from an
exalted condition of the public mind
Progress there marks the highway of
civilization.
But treasure is largely inseparable
from wealth. Without funds, what
of schools and churches? without
schools and churches, what is ideal
ism Without ideaHsm, what inspir-
alton to produce and protect our
treasures?
We should keep our minds direct
ed in a proper course thinking
questions arise af-
fecting our wealth and our treas
ures. We should loyalize our ears

and aesthetic sirens who would lure
us to the rocks.
For it is not easy to rehabilitate
these resources, rebuild these insti-

IDAHO WOMEN, TAKE NOTICE

figured in detail the amount of mon
ey Idaho married women would re-
ceive if paid as servants. They
work, she says, on an average so
hours week and, at current wages
would receive 36.16 week. This
total is arrived at by giving the com
pensatio mas cook, seamstress, laun-
drywoman, etc, for the hours each
service requires, little better than
go cents an hour
It is pointed out that father, "the
supposed, and only, meal ticket,
works only "A to As hours a week,

Pa must be credited somewhere,
however 1t must be admitted, for
one thing, that by providing the
telephone, electrical appliances, and
other labor and time saving devices
he has made it a lot easier for ma.
OF course, if the wife went on a payl
basis, say so cents an hour, she
might be asked to pay board and

PARTNER CUTS UP
HIS CABIN MATE

Last Thursday night or early Fri
day morning fight took place in
the dark that resulted seriously for
the victim. George Williams and
Bill Reeves were living in a cabin
back of the Utah rooms on Miller
avenue and were awaiting the arriv-
al of spring when they could move
out and get to work Williams was
more of a boss in the cabin than
Reeves and this may have been the
cause of the quarrel. A report of the
occurrence runs that Reeves went to
the cabin Thursday night to go to
bed and asked Williams to give half
the bunk. This angered Williams
and he attacked Reeves with a hatch
ct.
Reeves got out of the cabin some
way and came toward town and with
assistance was taken to the Bellevue.
hospital for treatment. At this time :
it is not definitely known whether
the injured eye will be saved or not,
but the other wounds are not severe.
After the hatcheting Williams put
Reeves belongings out of the cabin
and was later arrested himself and
taken to the county Jail where he
will be held for trial for assault

COMMUNICATION

Dear ReDublican.

Mountain Home Republican,
Mountain Home, Idaho.
Dear Republican:
Some of the papers have given
time and space to discussion of the
recent utterances of Prof. Luther
Burbank. wonder if it is worth
your while and space to quote a few
words from my sermon of yesterday
from the text Matt. XXI 25, Jesus
answered and said 1 thank thee o
Father, Lord of heavene and earth,
that thou hast hid these things from
the wise and understanding, and
didst reveal them unto babes" 1
said among other things.
Il have the greatest respect for
Luther Burbank in his own sphere.
When I want to learn about plant
life l viii be glad to sit at his feet
as perhaps / would not at the feet
of any other living man. When I
want to learn about the theory and
practice of business organization in
manufacturing lines l will be very
glad to learn of Henry Ford. No one
more so. When l want to learn of
the relations of God the Creator of
the universe and Father of all men
will go to Jesus Christ who, as no
one else, has taught them to us.
l have read too much of Beecher
and Brooks, of Fairchild and Fos-
dick, of Stalker, Tan McLaren" and
Van Dyke to ask either Henry Ford /
or Luther Burbank to be my instruc-
tor on matters of faith and religion.
Nor do l go to the teachings of Jesus
to learn anything about the facts of
modern science or business manage
ment. He did not make the slight
EST attempt to teach them Why then

Burbank said in DR.. Gordon's pulpit

AGRONOMY
III. w. Hulbert

Data secured over period of eight
years on the University farm show
that early seeding of field peas has
double the value of late seeding. Peas
seeded just as soon as the seed bed
can be prepared in the spring have
always produced the highest Yields.
PLANT DISEASE
c. w. Hungerford
1t is very important that all grain
be treated, whether sown in the
spring or in the fall. 1t is not al
ways possible to tell whether grain
is smutty by the appearance of the
seed. Seed from a crop free from
smut may become infected in thresh-
ing or by other means. The safest
method is to treat all seed before
planting.

John Holmason of Vancouver was
attached to his automobile just as
some men become attached to a dog
or horse. AS result he now owns

He drove the car five years for a

Recently ne planned a tour of the

drove his old friend to the local
dealer and traded it on a new Buick.
Two days later, Holmason appear
