London. Sept 10.-The Russian
victory at Tarnopol. eastern Galicia,
has been followed by another effect
i've blow at the Austrians at Trem-
bowla twenty miles further south. In
the combined actions more than fif-
teen thousand prisoners have been
taken, according to PetTograd'S re-
ports. AS was the case at Tarnopol,
the Russians were unable to follow up
the advantage gained at Trembowla
owing to the inferioriIy in artillery
and the Austrians were not pushed be-
yond the line ef the River Sereth.
Basing its judgment on reports that
the Germans are foTtifying themselves
strongly in the vicinity of Wilma, to-
Gether with the trend of events on the
south wing of the eastern front and
the slow progress of the Teutonic CEN
ter the British feeling is that cessa-
ton of the Austr:an-Ge Ge1 man offensive
in the east may be at hand. Such
development would spell victory for
that faction of the German general
staff which has argued that the
Iengthening of communication was in
volving too much risk to warrant
further advance.
French and German claims are so
contra dictory that it is impossible at
this time to obtain a clear view of the
situation in the Argonne, where the
German crown prince is reported to
have made progress. The French are
now attempting to recover the lost
ground. which the Germans assert in
cluded the fortified position at Marie
Therese. 1t is likely that this region
will witness some of the bitterest
fighting in the west during the next
ten days.

why Not Elect POstmasters and 9th
er Government Appointed O~fficials2

BUSINESS men, who are the princi-
pal patrons of the postal service, will
be Interested in a plan advocated by
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., to provide
for the election not only of postmas-
tiers, but of other federal officers in
the several states, such as u. s. mar
shals, district attorneys, collectors and
appraisers of customs, collectors of in
ternal revenue, and registers and re-
ceivers Of land offices.
Every business man knows the evils
of the present system of political ap-
pointment. Frequently men are chos-
en- as postmasters not because of their
particular fitness for the position nor
their facilities for rendering service,
but because of party loyalty and activ-
ity in politics.
Former Senator Bourne believes that
postmasters should be selected regard
less of what party might happen to be
In control of the national %administra-
tion-that the people of the country
may have a Democratic or Republi-
a administration, as they may choose
but that the people of each community
should have a postmaster of their own
selection regardless of politics.
Postoffices are established and main
tanned for service, not as political re-
wards, and the people of each com
munity are the best judges Of the kind
of service they want and the men most
likely to render 1t. Bourne argues
that if a postmaster must depend upon
the voice of the people of his commun-
ity for his retention in office, rather
than upon his effectiveness in politics
or his pull" with political leaders,
he will give more time and effort to
improve the character of service.ren-
dered. Moreover popular election OF
postmasters and other federal officers
will take away the principal power of
the national political machine which,
through that fundamentally. is able
in so many instances, to dictate local
party politics.
Bourne proposes to strike at the root
OF tne mdtteT Dy Il COnsllt'tionhi dih-
endment divesting the president Of
his appointing power and relieving the
senate of it's duty and responsibility
OF confirming such appointments and
leave the whole problem to the several
communities which are chiefly and d.
rectly interested in the character of
service to be rendered by their public
servants.
II this suggestion appeals to you as
wise, write to your senator or con-
gresham and tell him that you favor
a constitutional amendment which
will give you a voice In the selection
Of your postmaster.-Implement and

A DISTRIBUTING CENTER


The Boise Statesman. i'm the automo-
bile section of the Sunday edition,
says in speaking of automobile con-
ditions throughout the state, that Ida
no Falls has become to be looked upon
by the auto sales force of the inter-
mountain country as the greatest dis
tributing point in Idaho. The location
in this city of the N. o. Naylor COM
pany, distributors for the Studebaker
cars, and the establishment of the Max
we'll agency here by the Frank Roues-
che company of Salt Lake City, the
Ford and Overland distributing point

the Yellowstone garage, the Hupp at

pany, the Metz and the Case car by the
Sims company, are all represented, and
probably some others.
Idaho Falls has more and better
equipped garages than any city of the
state, and even a greater number than
Butte, and probably more machines
are owned and driven by Idaho Falls
residents and people of the city than
any section of the state.

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED.
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
of April or about as early as In Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information is to hand that on first
Of May all seeding was practically fin
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking, and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, win be later than the others.
but as the spring In Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
q few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome. but
at seeding time, the ground contained
splendid lot of moisture and the
lack OF rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number of farm
ers who have gone into the raising Of
cattle has been considerably in
creased. and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures is
in evidence everywhere. The cult
walton of fodder corn Is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be-
ing upwards OF $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be o
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold OF It.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivation it receives, and runs from
Ave to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where 1t has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved In ripening and 1t is
expected that variety will soon DO
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada fame
for the growing OF marketable corn
equal to that 1t has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals field after field OF alfalfa. the
growth of which In any portion OF
the country Is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers Is so we'll known, there
Will be no hesitancy In taking advan-
tage OF the splendid gift of 100 acres
OF land made by the Government OF
the Dominion of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands OF some of the railway COM
panies and large land companies. that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
of February a large number of In
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands. rrfr' v
An encouraging feature Of the farm
land situation in Canada Is the large
percentage OF sales made to settlers
In the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to Others who will
take up farming In place of different
occupations previously followed. -Ad-

Admirers of the shepherds check
In cloths for tailored suits-and these
are many-were given very great
variety in models this spring to choose
from. Those suits for which small
checks were chosen, cut on simple,
but carefully thought out lines, proved
to be the most successful A great
many of them were made with short
WASTED box coats. A less number had
short jackets, and some of the smart
est were designs in which semifltting
coats figured. Skirts were nearly al
ways plain, moderately wide and
somewhat flaring The advance of the
season proved that the suits of shep-
herds check received merited APP
probation. The pretty spring suit be-
comes the crisp midsummer suit by a
variation of the shoes and hats worn
with it, and is a paying investment
as it will serve for street wear in both
seasons.
One of them is illustrated here. The
perfectly tailored skirt is plain with
moderate flare and cut instep length

Smart Costume.

One of the smartest costumes for
young women, exhibited on a living
model at recent opening, was of very
pale tan worsted and mohair mixture,
made with short, fare skirt, revealing
the new slim black leather pump, guilt
less of buckle or bow, and stockings
of natural silk. A little coat, button
ing high to the throat, was sur
mounted by a very tall choker collar
of white organdie with points reaching
up over the cheeks and broad stock
of black satin holding it in place The
coat had belt and a plated coattail
at the back. This knowing spring cos
tune was completed by a tiny black
satin hat with slashed sailor brim and
floating veil of black mesh with an
allover vinet pattern.

accounts for the popularity of Its a
Long, Long Way to Tipperary," the
marching song of the British army, &C
cording to Thomas Henderson, all
English music teacher. Recently speak
ing at University college, Nottingham,
Mr.. Henderson is reported as follows
in The Hospital:
Judging from their works, Handel
and Beethoven respired more slowly
than Mendelssohn. Most people
breathe about twenty times a minute,
and he saw in that a reason why,
quite apart from the melody, the most
popular music was that in which the
rhythm was even and the accent al.
ways came on the beat. The song
It's Long, Long Way to Tipperary'
was a case in point. 1t had been asked
why it should be more popular than
Cigars patriotic song, Land of Hope
and Glory" The reason was that
"Tipperary" was in agreement with
the theory of natural respiration,
while Cigars song was not.

SOME FLOWER NOTES

Pot your callas early in September.
Sprinkle powdered borax around
plants that are bothered with ants.
Mark the native plants when in
bloom, and this fall transplant them
to your border. Many of them are
worth having in the garden.
The spotted Gala will die down
after blooming and should be left in
the ground until late autumn, when it
can be taken up and stored until Jan
uary. Store like gladiolus bulbs.
For rose mildew spraying with sui
phide of potassium, using one ounce to
three gallons of water, is much more
effective than the old-fashioned
method of busting the foliage with
flowers of sulphur.
Try making climbers of your choice
petunias. Trim out all but three or
four branches and keep these tied up
to stake or trellis. Give them rich
soil and plenty of water, If you want
something beautiful.

PLANTS FOR THE BORDER

In choosing plants for the border,
try to get those varieties which give
a succession of bloom. The majority
Of ornamental shrubs come into bloom
early in the season, but there are
many which give fine effect during
the summer and well along into the
autumn months. While some shrubs
are a foot or less tall, others reach a
height OF ten or twelve feet, and this
should be considered in determining
location.

MIXED RACES UNDER KAISER
Numerous Peoples Gathered Beneath
the Banner of the War Lord
of Germany.

Writers on ethnology during this
war have called wide attention TO
what they insist on as historical fact
that the valley of the Elbe, which is
now Prussian territory, was once a
Slavic land peopled by a race of Slav-
ic blood called Wends. Remnants of
these people are still existent in the
German empire, and the Lusatians. or
the Serbs of Lusatia, in Prussia and
Saxony. and the Slovines or Pomeran-
ians and Kasuby of the Baltic region
are remainders of the Slavs that once
populated Prussia The name Prussia
was once Borussia, which was cor
rupted from Po-Russa, a compound
word signifying near the land of the
Russ "po" being the Slavic word
meaning near Other of the place
names in Prussia are said to be of
Slavic origin: as. for example, Pom
erania. Strelitz and Kolberg
While all nationalities are blend
of various races, it is interesting to
note that an authority on such matters
has said that fighting under the Ger
man banner today are representatives
of no less than So nations and tribes.
