NO CAR sHoRrAGE THIS YEAR

BOISE, Idaho - That the public
utilities commission of this state will
have the cooperation Of the railroads
in its endeavor to be able to prevent a
car shortage in Idaho during the big
crop movement which will start soon.
is evident by the steps taken by both.
The banks Of the state generally will
also lend helping hand. The fact that
the federal reserve banks have already
taken stand toward placing large
amount Of money in circulation, bank
ers say, will result in no small amount
of it being taken advantage Of in this
state.
cat the conference we held with the
Oregon Short Line officials at Salt
Lake recently, assurances were given
the commission that every precaution
has been taken to move the crops this
year by that road and there would be
no car shortage said President Axel
P. Ramstedt of the public utilities COM
mission. "The Short Line officials as
serted they were in excellent shape to
handle not only the fruit, but the po-
tatoes, grain and other products-bet-
ter, in fact than they had been for some
years. They propose to raise the de-
murrage on freezers, which will pre-
vent holding up and blocking car move
ments. I do not know whether or not
this order has been issued, but I I'M
derstand the increase is to be from 81
to So. In the past the low demurrage
has resulted in cars being held up,
which played no small part in creating
car shortage. While in Spokane I
was also assured by the railroads operat
ing in that part Of the state they were
prepared to move the big crops in Idaho.
With these assurances do not expect
to see and do not believe there will be
a car shortage"
Information that has reached here is
to the effect that the Short Line has
begun preparations for the taking off
Of the "white lead which is on seven.
ty-five engines in Pocatello, and an
nounces all of them will be put into
commission moving crops, which will
require additional motive power. By
placing this number of engines in com
mission more than 400 engineers, fire
men, brakemen and conductors will b.
given employment. Threshing of grair
in this state has already begun, and tn,
box car movement over the several rail
road lines has started. These ears ar,
being placed where they will reliev,
the outpour of grain to the best ad
vantage.

POINTS OF MODE

SWORD CORD LOSES ITS MILITANT MEN

It's never too late for something new,
if that something is fashion. It would
seem that advanced summer is as op-
perfume time for launching styles as
early spring, if one may judge from this
season. Every time society congregates
for sports there is something new in the
way Of fashion. 1t is one of their
pastimes and amusements, this wearing
of the new in dress, as fast as the
couturiere can contrive to produce it.
Styles on the Field Of Aviation
The automobile races and the field
of aviation are scenes Of smartness this
summer. Society is there in full force,
for society must make the most of the
things this land affords, since globe
trotting is out of the question. There
have been several small meets lately out
on Long Island, noteworthy from view
Of sports, as we'll as fashion. Many men
of prominence have taken to the air and

are, from the army and navy unifroms
trimmings, brass buttons and all. One
little chap who was keenly interested in
watching his father Vancouver big BIZ
plane, wore a white duck suit cut on the
lines of the sailor uniform, with long,
flare trousers, sailor blouse, and wide
collar. 1t is surprising how popular
these suits have suddenly become for the
younger children. Many of the shops
are featuring the suit this little chap
wore, cleverly naming it the submarine
Whether the name catches the mother or
the child is hard to tell.
Styles Influenced by Occupation
Both mother and child seem to have
gone in for the extreme just at present,
now that aviation and like sports are
uppermost in mind. When they again
return to their charities in the fall we
nay expect reverse swing in the pen
dulum of fashion.

Ono Of Interest to Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and when
it is confirmed after long lapse of
time, even if we hesitated to believe it
at first hearing, we feel secure in ac-
cepting its truth now. The following
experience of Blackfoot woman is
confirmed after two years.

THE ISSUE OF 1916

A lot Of newspapers, ignoring the in
terest in the war and forgetful of the
fact that the American people are get
ting pretty tired of politics, are com
menting upon what they believe will Be
the issue in 1916-as if it makes any
difference now what the issue will be
then. Some Of them believe that it will
be the trouble in Mexico; others believe
that the tariff will be the issue. But
all Of them are agreed that we shall
have an issue-and no further are they
agreed.
The chances are that the real issue
for the campaign a year hence has not
Is yet been born, or, at least that people
are not aware of the issue that will
then be to the forefront. We make
the statement because we believe there
is to be a general reformation in the
world, a making over as it were Of is
sues. Out of the present great war
will likely come an issue of which we
at this time know nothing. At least it
will be strange if this colossal contest,
involving as it does the whole world,
does not leave much for men to quar-
rel over.
In war times, issues are born over
night. We are getting along peacefully
at this time with all of the combat
ants. We do not see cloud in the sky
that threatens to wet as with it's woe.
But any one of hundred things can
happen to precipitate upon us all sorts
of complexities. We are likely to have
our issues made for upon the sea, or
in the trenches. For no man knows to-
day the evil that may be lurking in the
dawn Of tomorrow.
Of this only need we give ourselves
concern: That we do the best we can
to remain neutral with all powers
that we attend strictly to. our own bust
ness of feeding the world at profit to
ourselves and to the world. The is
sues growing out of the war if any grow
out of it, will be taken care of at the
proper time.-The Critic.

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW ENFORCED

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. H.
With the approach Of the open season
for shooting wild fowl, the United
States department of agriculture is
warning sportsmen that the federal reg
ulations as amended October l, 1914,
will be strictly enforced. Some mis-
understanding has arisen from the fact
that the various state laws do not al
ways conform to the federal regula-
|tions. This is regarded as unfortunate
but in such cases the department must
insist upon the observance Of the fed
|eral regulations.
The department will consider any
recommendations submitted in good
faith for amendment of the regulations
but will hold no public hearings, there
on, nor will it amend the regulations
prior to October Is, 1915. It is the
purpose of the department to conform
the regulations to the wishes of the
majority Of sportsmen SO far as it can
be done and at the same time give wild
fowl the necessary protection.
Federal regulations divide the United
States into two zones, Zone No. l, the
breeding zone, includes the states OF
Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Nebraska
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, and New Jersey, and all states
north Of them. Zone No. 2, the winter
ing zone, includes all states south Of
those named.

dips, loop-the-loops and dizzy descents
And, incidentally to wear the last word
in dresses!
Points in Fashion
just at the present time, this last
word happens to be points, and feminine
society has taken to it like ducks to
water. These points must be in the
right place though, and this place is the
lower edge of the skirt. Deep points
and small points all contrive to show the
gorgeous Innings Of the slairts.
One Of the Misses Post, who is
devotee of aviation, was seen recently
at meet in a dress of this type. Cut
Extremely short, the skirt showed four
shallow points. This was white linen,
which matched jumper of the same
material, and was worn over guimpe
of transparent white Swiss. The trim
ming was, of course, cretenne, for no
dress is quite complete without it this
summer, but this time it had forsaken
its gay colors and flowers in favor of a
black-andwhite cheek. To say that
bands and faeings of this material on
the white were startling is putting it
mildly, but, then, the points of the skirt
were striking enough to carry off con-
trast of this kind.
Hats Now Match the Wash Dresses
| This is season when every dress
has hat of its ewn, matching either the
material OF the trimming; Miss Post =
hat followed the rule, being made of
the black -andwhite cretoane. In it's
straight -brinmed sailor style, low Of
crown and tilted fearlessly on the head,
it had swagger style in keeping with
the psrt of airnen.
Stockings Checked Likewise
What hats may do, stockings may do
likewise. Even if they were not of ere
tonne, they had its checks and matched
the facing the trimming, and the hat,
giving certain completeness to the
costume, which left nothing to be de-
sired in style.
Braid Trimming for SILK Frocks
| Many of the older women and some
OF the young girls, too, were the silk
dresses of faille and taffeta. These were
mostly Of the new Princess or GOAT
styles. Braid is much in evidence as
Trimming. Wide Hercules braid was re-
peated in several models in graduated
rows On the bottom of the skirts. One

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
USED IN MEASURING WATER

= The terms "Acre Foot and "Ssc-
ond Foot'' are 50 frequently used in
the irrigation districts, and their mean
ings so little understood by the average
reader that we give herewith what il
thought to be clear definition of
these terms.
One acre foot equals water one foot
in depth over the one acre of land.
One second foot equals one cubic foot
of water passing a given point in one
second.
One acre foot equals one second foot
flow for IL hours and inmates. Or. in
ether words, one second foot flow will
cover one acre of ground, one foot deep
in IL hours and 8 minutes.
One acre fost equals 800 sabic feet.
One second fsot equals 7g4.5 acre
feet in one year.
One second foot equals 29.5 acre in
30 days. Or a second foot flow win
cover SOS acres one foot deep with
water in 30 days.
One acre foot equals 325.s51 gallons.
One second foot equals 44ss gal
Ions per minute.
One cubic foot equals 7.4S gallons.
One gallon equals 3S1 cubic inches.
100 gallons flowing per minute will
cover one acre enc inch deep in hours
and 81 ninueos.

tailor has ordered it eighteen inches

Mime. Lanvin Introduces the Sword Cord
The sword-cord was the feature Of
one of the non militant taffeta dresses
worn by a woman prominent in New
York society. So modest was the dress
with its tight basque and full skirt Of
blue taffeta, that the cord without the
sword lost its military aspect. Nine.
Lanvin is responsible for the sword-cord
on silk dresses, having shown it earlier
in the season on several taffetas. Now
lit takes on various forms and has been
made in a frog-like ornament for the
side of the new coats.
Turbans Gain in smartness.
It is interesting to note that wherever
this CLINT Of the military is seen the hal
lis small. The particular model worn
with the costume mentioned above was
small and close-fitting to the extreme
topped with fan-tailed pigeon. Bow,
and plant wings are also employed on
the tops Of these turbans, for the turban
must have something high to give il
chic. But, when it has its bow its wing
|or its bird, properly perched, there il
something in it's style unexcelled by the
larger brimmed hats.

Editor Triplett's Proposition

Editor Triplett of the st. Cloud
Tribune, one of Florida s editors,
who believes in getting all that is
coming to him and does not mind
going after it, has devised a
scheme, which if followed by the
state press will deprive all can
didates for United States offices in
either the house or senate, of any
publicity except what is paid for
as advertising unless they meet
the provision required.
Some years ago the United
States government entered into
competition with every printing
office in the country by printing
names and actresses of persons
and firms on envelopes and sell
ing them much cheaper than
printing offices could purchase
plain envelopes. Protests have
been made but the government
pays no attention to what the pa.

pers, who are real promoters OF
the towns prosperity say against
a practice that takes away a large
part of their profits.
Mr.. Triplett's plan is, that no
candidate for either house or
senate will get his name in the
st. Cloud Tribune except in a
paid advertisement unless he
pledges over his signature that ne
will support a bill that will pro-
hibit the government from con-
tinuing this competition with
print shops, and asks every paper
in the state to join in the move
ment, which he believes will be
followed by every state in the
Union.-Sarasota Times.
