The Gilmore & Pittsburgh has been
surveyed from Salmon to Lewiston,

a bridge over that river was held by
a ruse for six hours, by bicycle
squad of Is pioneers, with the Ger
man vanguard 20 kiCmeters away and
with an English brigade in bivorlac
TWO kilometres west Of the bridbe and
a French cavalry division short
distance east of it.
The officer in charge of the pioneers
had been instructed to ascertain
whether the bridge was still intact.
On his arrival he found that such was
the case and, pursuant to instruc.
tons, proceeded to fortify the little
shanty of the bridge tender by plac-
ing sandbags against its walls. In
addition, the telegraph and telephone
wires running across the bridge were
cut and the tracks CT the railroad
were torn up. f,. ....

While the pioneers were busily en-.

which tie officer solved by strategy.
He explained that he and his men
were an English bicycle patrol which
had been detailed to prevent anybody
! crossing the bridge until 7 o'clock
that night. The barricade which the
men were building. added the officer
was intended to facilitate the defense
of the bridge against the Germans
AS the German officer stated in his
letter which brought this news the
French, reservistsI believed the story,
! Though they found it difficult to under,
stand why they should be barred
from crossing the bridge. Finally,

bility CT the story told by the officer,
and later the Frerchmel went to a
nearby village to SECURE meat and
wine for the supposed English patrol.
The German officer was urged by
the French reservists to retreat when
the Germans put in an appearance, af
ter six hours of anxious waiting by
the pioneer squad. This he refused
to do with the remark that he did
not. fear the Germans. Later the
French reservists had the doubtful
pleasure of hearing the officer tell
them: ave are Germans, also" The
officer has been given the iron cross.

asked to explain to what extent life
in the barracks resembled life in the
firing line.
To the remark that hunger comes
to all men regardless of station in life,
the private commented:
THAT is so,i Of course. But the Off
Ger did not have to, thank me for it"
It would have served no purpose to
argue this point with the man so an
other question was asked.

sirable than the high-priced goods. I can
say nothing in their favor. They are
never economical: frequently leaving the
baking bleached and acid; sometimes yell
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not dependable. and represent
false economy at any price.
The most simple way for the house
wife to class baking powder Is by price.
The trust goods that retail for 45c or
soc a pound are usually the cream OF
tartar powders, and are Of the old
school; and the cheap and big Can
kind that sell all the way from Toe
pound up to a cent an ounce, should also
be avoided. ~
The last word in baking powder is the
happy medium, a, combination powder
that sells at a moderate price and When
properly prepared gives the consumer
full value for the money. The. result in
baking is pure, wholesome food. without
any harmful residue. There is no reason
why any housewife should pay 45e or
SOC per pound. The best baking pow
der made can be manufactured so as to
retail at about y this price.
On being asked what baking powder
she used in her work, Marian Cole
Fisher frankly stated that for more
than seven years she had used Calumet
Baking Powder with the most satisfac-
tory results in every particular. sf'a

Imported HORSES
NOT NECESSARY NOW

With the exception of a very lin.
tied number from England, importa-
ton into the United States of pure
bred draft horses for breeding puc-
poses has been practically stopped
by the outbreak of the European war.
For several years previous. from p
500 to 1000 stations and mares have
been brought annually! into this coun-
try. In the opinion OF experts in the
department, however, the standard Of
draft horses in America will not suf.
fer from the interruption Of these inn
portations. Thereis. it is said. slf-
ficiently large amo,tnt of pure blood
already in the country to answer ali
requirements and the American draft
horse will now have an opportunity
to demonstrate it's own qualities.
Hitherto a certain fascination has
hung over the word imported"
which has had marked effect upon
prices. For example. an imported
Percheron stallion might sell for ~.
900 where an equally well-bred Amer
lean Percheron would bring only ST.,
200 to $500.
American Bred Cattle.
We no longer go to England and
Scotland for shortl1orn, Hereford, aid
Aberdeen-Angus cattle except to a.
very limited extent The breeders Of
these breeds in America have been
and are producing the equal if not
teh superior Of the. English cattle.
There is no apparent, reason why
the same thing should not take. place
in the case of draft horses. The prin,
cipal breeds of these are low thor.
oughly established in the. United
States. Their various characteristics
and merits are discussed in new bull
letin published by the United States

Department Of Agriculture under the
title OF Farmers Bulletin No. 6l9,
Breed of Draft Horses. This bulletin
deals with the Belgian, Percheron,
French Draft, Clydesdale, Shire, and
Suffolk types.
OF these the Percheron probably
outnumbers, in this country, all other
breeds combined. Grade Percherons,
the product Of pure-bred stations,
crossed with ordinary mares, have
proved very ,poular on our markets.
OF late years the Belgian has also
made great strides, but this breed is
still comparatively. new in America.
1t is found chiefly in the Middle West,
where the heaviest types Of drafI
horses are prevalent. During the past
ten years approximately 100 Clydes-
dales have been imported each year.
This type is particularly well liked
by those who want style and action,
and in consequence is used to great
extent in cities. The shires, though
similar to the Clydesdales, are mas.
sive and less active. They are popu.
lar on the Pacific coast and in the
Central West.
England now permits the exporta'
ton for breeding purposes of Clydes.
dales and Shires, but it is not likely
that under present conditions the i'm
,uortation of these breeds will be
carried on to any considerable extent.
As has already been said, however.
experts in the department believe
that importations are no longer neces-
'sary. The bulletin describing, with
illustrations, the breeds already in
troduced will be sent free on appli-
cation to the department as long as
the supply lasts.

In a recent interview on baking pow
der stated as follows:
II find many, in fact, very many,
women woefully uniformed on the sub
tect Of baking powder. Evidently the
housewife does. not appreciate the value
Of baking powder in her kitchen and in
her baking or she would have informed
herself. This is subject that is quite
Important.
"a great many Of the housewives
today have followed their mothers or
sraDdmothers in the use Of baking pow
der, which in some instances is mis-
take. There has been just as much i'm
provemcnt in baking powder as in other
commodities. l am glad to find that
baking powder has kept UP with the
times. &1ttf1tt. " Wiz '~.-
Some housewives have been led to be-
lieve that the cream Of tartar powders
are the best goods to use. This is
mistake. resulting no doubt from the
constant efforts of the Twenty Million
Dollar Baking. Powder Trust to create a
prejudice against all goods save their
own. Their goods. should be least de-
sirable on account of the large guam
titles Of Rochelle Salts remaining in the
food.
The other extreme is the cheap and

all the way from ten cents a pound to q
cent an ounce. These are even less de-,

AN ODE TO FASHION.

since Adam his big red apple ate
And Eve shook forth her tresses.
There is little in 'ime that well
compares
With the ladies' beautiful dresses.
They send our minds 10 days of yore
When spindles ana looms We're
lacking:
When fg-leaf covering was out Of
date,
And their complexion their only
backing
Their con-ksxion beautiful garment
made.
And think Of the neat close fitting
Not a rent in the garment was ever
made,
And no crumpling up in sitting.
10 laundry bills then need be made.
No calves the garments chewed,
The buttons grew a. tighi as wax,
And never came nnscrewed.
On state ocasyns the ladies wore
Beautiful "a 9celets on their arms.
And thus dispt wed their forms divine
In naked nf"e.- charms
What has been is and VIII he again,
Al ieass 50 the wise men say
So thanks To fashion the time draws

When there no laundry Hills 10
