The arrangement is in compe tent hands. The money to pay for all this splendid affair is rolling in upon the committee having that part of the function in hand. Everything is to be free, including a fete «isgussion by all the people of tEeir tax burdens for which purpose prominent speakers have been invited. Be.-ides anybody will be welcome to the platform to point the way to low er taxes. What Is a Barbecue? Not many people of Salmon eve: witnessed the preparation and serving of a barbecue. Reuben Bennett, a former resident and native of the South, used to see dozens of them in his old Tennessee home. They were institutions general in all the land I where the people turned out by the thousand to hear the noted orators of 1 the day who would come from far and near, democrats and republicans it' there happened to be any republicans j in that part of the south land. Shir-! ley Johnson, manager of the Lemh j Telephone company, also a native of ! the south, attended a barbecue at Lex ington, Kentucky, a few years ago I where there were estimated to be ; present no less than 60,000 people. I There were three score beeves anti many sheep and porkers roasted for the occasion. Bennett and Johnson both retain vivid as well as savory memories of such feasts. Usually a. trench from ten to twenty feet long Jfru Jjppjj feet deep contains the fire Wkt'does the baroecuing. The ani mal to be served is swung upon a re volving shaft and kept basted as the shaft is turned over and over until ione to a beautiful, brown. A Dance for War Mothers. The War Mothers are to serve the feast, while the roasting is to be 1 jok ed after by Charlev Dodge. Charley is the biggest and best cook in all the ! intermountain region, three hundred pounds of himself liv'e weight. j While it may seem unnecessary to ; ra:se all the money promised the man »cement proposes to donhte the sur plus to the War Mothers, wno will »bo derive a neat sum from the pro moters for the serving of the feast and from the dance at night. Ab are welcome. If any there be who are dead to the live issues of the cay and want to continue to carry the , tax burdens now bearing down upon them, all such may well not trouble 1 themselves to attend, for there is no , resurrection for such until the Judg- * ttent Day. All the live ones will be ! m Salmon on July 29. To Popularize Use of Island Park.

This is a question that grow- I ers in all parts of the state aie ask mg this year. From nearly even 'sr 7 r^ =« much as the cause of it cannot be easily located. ~ Some have laid the I trouble to too much water, others to 1 lack of it, while still others blame the ! use of too much fertilizer The nia- ! jority frankly confess their ignorance : The real cause is a small Innr with a sucking mouth that works rear the ! surface of the ground ™ ^ 1 of Nysius ericæ. the stems and" extract^' th 7 'plant ! bug and goes under the^cientific name H is a siender gray-ito niant a a c n MlU £ of p ts.

They will feed in such weeds j as pepper-grass, shepherd's purse, Russian thistle and sage brush. Control of this pest can be accom plishad by clearing the rubbish from : the field late in the fall to destroy 1 their hibernating places. At the pres ont time a spray composed of Bor-i deaux mixture, to which nicotine sul-Hhe phate has been added, is the be means of control known. Old Timer Dies. Henry F. Terry, one of the old-tiro ers ofthe Salmon river country, diei at the home of Jerry Sullivan 01 Squaw creek on the 5th of July, and was buried at the Clayton cemetery J on the 7th. The deceased was sixty-[the seven years of age. He had lived in (is the Salmon river country for a long all the hot heat required to produce the lie 't results in barbecuing.

Governor Alexander, Governor Da * ! 1 ! a while and was highly esteemed who knew him. , - been invited to oe present to ai.i.io.-.' the people on a subject that a 1 are interested in above and beyond any partiNun.-uip the \ual ma.tei «•, -e during taxes. After the primaries we j ! vis, Governor Hawley and others have j it h will divide off as partisans to fight out this matter. A little while ago Lewis Williams, a democrat, an i then after ward John D. Robertson, a republican, came to talk taxes in Salmon. Neith er of them offended any good citizen, for they came as earnest men honest ly seeking a way out of the preseni r.ancial difficulties that beset whole people alike. Another thing—This meeting i designed as a boost for any amuiti politician, least of all tor our o.*n low citizen, Dr. Stratton, who «.as mentioned so often in connec n the office of lieutenant governor. Stratton never in all his life s.. hands with a voter for an ulterior ; pose. But like hundreo- p °> ' izens he thinks the time tine 1 " better understanding among taxp ers so that they may act in harm to accomplish their own from the taxgatherer m the now bearing down so heavily upon them. Dr. Stratton promises to have something to say on this vita sub ject, and that is all of his connection with this proposed meeting. He be lieves that when the people c»me t understand they will vote right on a matter of vastly more importanc« than to gratify the personal ambiti >n= of any office-seeker. We are all, democrats am repub licans alike who are good citizens, looking for relief.

Perhaps the heaviest thulrie bolt of the entire speech came with the statement that about half the present laws might be 'repealed* with great advantage to the state, Mr. Robertson has a clear record in matters about which he spoke so forci ibly to his Salmon hearers. He ha said the same things all up and down cou Mr. Robertson showed that actually tax dollar as the average citizen (is called upon to plank it down is <le man,led of him by his own will and jmarized täte for a dozen years.

Other expenses eat up the balance of the dollar, as shown by the sepaker. Mr. Robertson did not go into the license taxes imposed upon hunters and fishermen nor the so-called cigaret license tax. nor yet the automobile licenses all of which make up a tidy sum for the taxgather er. He di 1 not even mention the state constabulary. He clearly showed that it wa- not the actual operating ex penses that cause taxes- to mount but the extras and the like, which he thought ought to tie mercilessly cut 'out. 1 HOME SWEET HOME OAO to? jewa oe THE Fas i Lt, e-e * 3 ; r v.jAi !

Saturday forenoon was spent with the County Agent, and several farm ers, visiting and inspecting potatoes in the field. In a fev, of the fiel, Is many diseased plants were discovered, and advice was given how to proceed to get rid of such plants by careful load ing an 1 extermination of those that have been gathered. Several fields presented a mixture of varieties and presented self-evident facts of a big mistake in having such not ripen at the same time nor can they very well be marketed without being separated, thus causing extra in a field, as the several varieties do work without giving extra remunera tion. Several fields were found to be A number one potatoes and promise to produce first cla.-s -ee I stock.

Mr. Benz expressed satisfaction with the way he finds things in gener al in the valley, tru. ting that in not too distant a time the farm community around Salmon will produce a high class potato, not only on few of the farms, but on all of them.
