I HOBBIES
For the common man. life has been an much of a nose-to-the-prindstone
affair, tlint he has little time for hobbies. On a day that
his eldest asks for the wherewith to buy the batl Ties for his wire
less outfit, and his youngest for ihe foundation of a stamp collec
tion, he may have a fleeting remembrance or something akin to this
in his youth
But though it is not always the rich, it is the uncommon man
who has clung to his hobby. A supreme court justice may stiek to
tales of Nick Carter, a famous engineer may revei in his collection
of seashells. Perhaps it is just that continued vivid interest in the
things of youth that has made them stand a little out from the ruck
of men.
It is a healthy thing to keep a hobby. For the relaxation from
the cares of shop or office sweetens one's disposition, and wonder
fully serves to keep one out of the rut that the same old monotonous
occupation, dav after da'.', is in danger of rearing into his way of
I MODERN EFFICIENCY
Present day methods of laying concrete highways or of placing
concrete foundations for asphalt cement are an example of present
day efficiency.
Wherever the construction company is at work in Ogden build
ing new roads there are always groups of fascinated observers who
comment upon the change thai 1ms been mad.- .:i methods ef con
crete construction.
Miles and miles of Ogden 's first sidewalks were laid of concrete,
which was not mixed and handled by one machine, but which ns
turned over and cer again on a board platform by scryes of men
with sho els.
Nowadays the sand and gravel are delivered to the scene by
self-dumping wagons or motor trucks, the material is conveyed to
the mixer without the use of wheel barrows and the mixed product
is spread out by a dumping bucket with the minimum amount of
human labor.
I THE BOND ELECTION
Before departing upon his vacation Mayor Frank Francis an
aounced that he would soon submit to the taxpayers of Ogden the
proposition of voting for bonds with which to build, among other
things, a municipal electric light pLant.
There seems to be a strong demand in man quarters for the
city to establish such a plant A few years ago the real estate men
of Ogden urged such action and since then other organizations hae
been agitating for a municipal power plant.
Mayor Francis proposes to bring the matter to a direct issue.
Whether or not the taxpayers want a municipal electric light plant
can be detennined at the bond election If they do they will vote for
the bonds and if they do not the bond election will fail.
I SOURCES OF WATER
An automobile trip along the highway toward Brigham City re
teals a number of recently sunk wells from which valuable irriga
tion streams are obtain' d by means of an electric pump
After one leaves the Hot Springs the new wells are to bo ob
served on the left side of the road. They have been dug down a
distance of 40 or 50 feet to the water, then lined with concrete and
an electrical pump placed near the water surface. When water is
needed for irrigation the power is turned on and the pump forces a
steady and generous stream up a five or six inch pipe.
The water is clear, cold and tasteless and seems to be solving an
irrigation problem for many farmers whose fields adjoin the state
highway.
IEOASTTN1 EAES.
The dainty person who slices his corn on the cob down with his
table knife, instead of daring all, and going to the attack with his
lips smacking and eager teeth, is to be pitied. See the butter run
along the little even furrows of succulence! Salt and pepper, a cau
tious eye out for the napkin, in case of a slip, and lay on! That is
the way to eat roast in' oars.
Head waiters, even, don't dare to smile any more. For the very,
very best hotels supply funny-looking harpoons, that you stick in the
end of the cob, so's to be a little less decorated, a little less joyful,
when at length your face recedes from the killing, and you ask for
another order, please, of good old roastin' ears.
j MUNICIPAL SWIMMING POOLS.
il Those city officials who were responsible for the construction
I of the municipal swimming tank near the South Washington school
j must be gratified by reason of the popular use that is made of the
bathing facilities. Afternoon and evening the place is crowded with
, merry swimmers or those who enjoy watching others engage in
I water sports. At this time of the year there are r.o institutions more
popular than good city parks and swimming pools. It is to be hoped
i that it will not be long ntil Ogden lias more jf these city bathing
places.
Mr Wil son will stay at the White House all summer. Possibly
to guard against some politician stealing it.

THE GOLDEN RULE
Is the Golden Rule a pocket meas
ure or a world standard 9 It Is a
common thing to limit its application
to the littlo things of daily life. Its
practice is not alarmingly prevalent
even there; but at any rate, we make
a stagger at Golden Rule religion in
our individual relations We recog
nlze that when It comes, man to man,
we should do as we would ho done
by.
In forgiving our enemies, in for
getting injuries, in discussing our
neighbors in the contacts of the
shop and the sidewalk in the cour
tesies of the social gathering in the
hospitalities of the home, we are for
the Golden Rule with enthusiasm.
And we do well, for all this adds
mucn to the poy of life; but is this
enough? Is the Golden Rule merely
a vest pocket measure To be sure,
Its operation on a bigger scale could
not atone for Its neglect in these
smaller things But was It meant to
be confined to individual relations?

THE SUNFLOWER
The sunflower is the symbol of
constancy and adoration
In ancient Peru, the sunflower
was much reverenced because of the
sun-worship which was then preval
ent. The Spanish invaders Introduced
It to Madrid. It Was extensively
ralced b the Indians who used the
soeds for fnod.
WIDELY CULTIVATED
In Russia, the sunflower Is widely
cultivated. The seed is used for
food or for making oil. The oil cake
is fed to horses and cattle while the
stalks are used for fuel. In China,
a beautiful silk is made from the
fiber of the stalks.
CHANGED INTO FLOKEF
A Greek legend tells of the origin
of the sunflower and why it is the
symbol of constancy and adoration.
Clytle was n beautiful water nymph
Ono day she left her home among
the waves and went to Olympus
where she saw Apollo, the sun-god,
and fell wildly In love with him
Apollo howeer, was enamored ol
Calliope, the muse of epic poetry,
and paid no attention to Chile. So
she tat on the ground gazing at tho
sun until it dropped beyond the hori
zon. For nine days Clytle sat and
pined away, refusing to return home.
Finally her limbs sank into tho
earth and became roots her bodv a
I slender stem and her beautiful face
I became a flower resembling the sun
jand following Its course all day long

STATE AND IDAHO NEWS
Latest Items of Interest From Utah and Gem State
H PROFITS ON
PIES f FOUND
Idaho Farmers Ship Stockers
to Northwest Pea Fields
for Fattening
BOISE, Ida., Aug. 3 How south
western Idaho ran Increase tho profit
of farming In the Spokane Inland em
pire, and how the inland empln- . in
inerease the profit of farming in
southwestern Idaho is outlined in a
statement by William Kerr awlne spe
cialist of the University of Idaho ex
tonHlon dl lston. who says that the
SOUth Idaho farmers can grow stock
hogs profitably to supply the needs of
the northern wheat formers for a
mean of saving tho waste on pea
crops that the latter grow. Instead of
summer fallowing their wheat fields.
Wheat farming In the Spokane sec
tion depends Increasingly on the ufc
of field pea crops to restore fertility
to the soli, says Mr. Kerr. He points
out also that the southern Idaho hog
Industry depends on finding a nearby
market. The inland empire farmers
have paid high pikes for hogs to glean
their peas but are not able to grow
tl elr own hogs early enough to supply
the need on account of weather condi
tions. The lower valleys of southern
Idaho, on the other hand, can easily
buy late February and Maich pigs on
i he rnorket.
Co-operation between farmers of the
two sections both n selling and In buy
ing thejr hogs In carload lots Is sug
gested by Mr. Kerr as offering an
unusual opportunlt for mutual bene
fit in the two sectlona
GROWING PORK FOR PROFIT,
The irrigated farms of southern
Idaho are well adapted to production
of hogs," says Mr. Kerr. However,
under present prevailing prices of
grain and present systems of hog pro
duction and marketing, thin form of
livestock husbandry has not been ery
profitable The year 1919 represented
the largest exports of pork this coun
try ever shipped and Indications point
conclusively to necessity of reduction
In the total number of hogs produced
In the United States, for wo cannot
expect this export trade, to be as good
In the future. T!i1h naturally Indi
cates the necessity of hogs being
giown under conditions that enable
ih-lr production to be made at a
profit Advantage should be taken,
therefore, of all conditions tending to
make the Industry profitable.
' The economical production of hogs
for market naturally divides Itself Into
two distinct periods tho growing pe
riod and the finishing period. The
glowing period extends from the time
the sow is bred until the pigs weigh
100 to 120 pounds each, while the fin
ishing period the hogs Increase In
weight from 100 or 120 pounds up to
the marketable size of 175 to 225
i pounds.
"The latter period must be spent in
a district whore thore is a surplus of
some form of concentrated gialn Hogs
will not generally pay the freight on
grains shipped from long distances,
but must be used as a means of mar
keting surplus grains in the more con
centrated form A very large percent
age of the hogs marketed from Irri
gated farms have been finished re
gardless of the assurance of loss in
the transaction. If farmers on Irri
gated farms had continued to grow
hogs and planned to ship them co
operatively to sections of country that
demanded them, there has hardly been
a time during the last three years that
hog production would not have been
a profitable buulness
"Before we" contemplate an Increase
In stock hop: production we must look
for a market where stock hogs can be
finished economically. Southwestern
Idcho can readily find this demand
by supplying stock hogs for the pea
grain fields of the Inland enlplre sur
toundlng and adjacent to Spokane.
FINISHING HOGS ON PEA FIELDS.
"Practical demonstrations In many
of the large wheat growing sections of
the inland empire have .shown that
winter wheat following field peas out
yields the winter wheut following sum
mer fallow. Years of wheat growing
under summer fallow methods have
gradually consumed the available hu
mus of the grain sections, so that the
soil falls to consero onough moisture
to tide the grain crop over critical
periods. Some leguminous) crop must
to brought Into the rotation to sup
ply hurnus and nitrogen As practi
cal tests show the power of the field
pes to supply thoa plant foods and
Increase the yield of wheat, the farm
ers will not be slow to make the'
change.
"At the present time, high prices are;
bi lng paid for the peas by $ecd com
panies under contract, hut as larger
and luiger acreages are plant) d there
may come a time when other means I
must be used for finding a market'
for tho pea crop.
'No other animal can make as prof-!
liable use of pas as can tho modern j
porker, properly developed in size and j
form on alfalfa pasture, skim milk1
and grain. On of the greatest ex
penses of producing the peas is the,
harvesting, threshing and marketing.'
This the hog will do more efficiently I
than any other farm machine In
fact he Is so efficient that much of
the profit of pea production Is lost un
less the peas shattered In harvesting
are cleaned by hogs Conservative es
timates show that the pea stubble, af
tei harvested, will carry one stock hog
per acre, and during a period of 60
to 70 days this hog may put on a gaini
of more than 100 pounds. This galnj
is from peas that otherwise would bei
v asted.

a crowd of confederates. Mr Burley
I had to deal with but one, however,
but he wanted that one He found his I
miin in the crowd and pulled him out!

to those of whom he approved. It was
known that he made many material
cc ntributions to charity, although he
always did this without ostenxatlon,
