American Youngsters
Insist on En|istn1g
With British Army
Many Under Age Discharged Though
Sons Enjoy Stirring
Adventures

Washington, Sept. 3.-More than
500 American boys under IS years old
have been discharged so far from the
British army upon requests from the
state department. Most of these boys
went to Canada and misrepresented
their ages to recruiting officers.
Peter Dougal of Lamberton, MINI 4,
after having been discharged once on
the application of the state depart
ment escaped from his parents and
re-enlisted. He was released again
only to take passage on the Arabic
and escaped death when that liner
was sunk by a German submarine.
The Walsh twins of Boston though
only Is years old also managed to
enlist twice, and the last time were
found on Salisbury plain Just about
to be embarked for France.

ATTRACTIVE UNDERskIRTs

The vogue of bouffant skirts has
made 1t possible for manufacturers
petticoats to make them as billowy as
they please; consequently the petit.
coats offered for sale are so attrac.
tive that one hardly knows which to
choose.
The Powered taffeta skirts are SO
pretty that they never fail to have
admirers. A softening touch Is Civ.
en- to some of them by the addition
OF flounce or two of net. Frequent
ly the fiounce is held in place by a
footing OF net having cord Of
twisted ribbon run through its center.
Here and there along the cord a
group of three ribbon rosebuds will
be seen dangling.
Very alluring are the petticoats
and slips of knife plated silk. These
are sought by women who desire to
have the fulness in their skirts with
out adding any unnecessary bulk to
their figures.
Quite new this season is the twin
skirt. This Is made with well
fitting yoke, from which two circular
skirts are suspended.

Value Of Straw
And Manure
BY e,sorae w. creaves of the Idaho
Experiment Station

We are just beginning to realize
the value of stable manure. While
the market gardener has for years
depended upon 1t for success the gen.
eral farmer is just beginning to see
its value and to give 1t a place in
his farming scheme. With its more
general use is also coming more care
in saving it, without loss of the in
gradients.
The liquid portion of manure con-
stitutes an important part of it. 1t
may be of interest to note that over
half the nitrogen and nearly half Of
the potash produced by horses is in
the liquid eXcrement. over half the
nitrogen from COWS is found in the
liquid while there is five times as
much potash in the liquid as in the
solid eXcrement. Liquid manure from
the pig contains one fifth of the hi.
trogen and one third of the potash.
Sheep liquid manure contains one.
half of the nitrogen and two-thirds Of
the potash. In general it may be
said that the liquid manure is as val.
liable as the solids when We think
of the total plant food, but when we
consider the availability We find that
that found in the liquid is immediate
ly available while that in the solid
becomes so only slowly. While tue
nutrients in the liquid are easily
available they are very easily lost,
and that is one of the big problems
we run against in conserving me
manure while it is accommodating
How can we best save it? The
first thing to do is to see that the
floor of the stable is water tight.
Quit using dirt floors. Then catch
the liquid. This can be best done
by the use Of an absorbent. Forum

Bold Burglary
In Lehi Store
Raeker Mercantile Company's Deps (
ment House Entered and Robbed
Of About $4,000

Lehi. Sept. 3.-When employees of
the Racker Mercantile company's de-
partment store entered the building
this morning they discovered chat 1t
had been entered and robbed during
the night. There was peculiar and
convincing proof that the crime was
committed by two men. Two old
hats, two pairs of old shoes and two
suits of old clothes, were found lying
on the floor of the store, mute but
sufficient evidence to prove the num-
Der concerned in the burglary
The probable age of at least one
of the thieves is indicated by the
fact that a tag, torn from new
suit which replaced an old one, and
thrown on the floor was marked age
10. 1t is supposed that the thief who
thus exchanged his old suit for a new
one is about 10 years old.
Humorous Feature
The touch Of humor which the
thieves gave to their exploit was
heightened by the discovery that the
old hats and the old shoes they left
behind were parts of a quantity of
merchandise stolen from the Peoples
Coop here three or four months ago.
They were audacious and deliberate
in their criminal work. They partook
Of lunch the remains of which were
sufficiently in evidence and they
smoked several cigars, the stubs of
which were found lying on the floor
Evidence was also discovered indi-
eating that the burglars while they
were still in the store took time to
clean and probably to reload their re.
volvers. Their GOODNESS and audac-
ity seem the more unusual when 1t is
remembered that the establishment
they were robbing is on Main street
and in the business heart of the town.
Goods T1ken
An inventory of missing merchan-
disc shows that the burglars carried
off silks and ladies goods to the value
of about $500, Is pairs of shoes,
four suit cases, two pistols, all the
watches in the store, and other ar.
ticles aggregating in value about
$4,000.
The burglars gained entrance by
saving around the lock in the front
door and thus removing the lock.
The night was dark and rainy and
consequently favorable for their
work. They must have had con
veyance, probably an automobile in
which to carry off the stolen goods
Sheriff East was promptly notified
at Provo and he as promptly institut'
ed search for the thieves but al
last accounts no arrests had been
made. With so many clues in the
hands of the officers 1t is believed
that the burglars will soon be appre
hended

Famous Eeats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at gallop, could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was, it did
not equal that reached by the archers
Of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock, Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance Of
500 yards In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
a field near that capital 415 yards
against the wind. The secretary OF
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions of surprise from the Eng

It is true that nature and woman's

for woman's ills that the world has

herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
q remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM

Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.

lot. But it often happens that the
property is ruined by selecting q house
too wide for the lot. Such building OPP
erations tend to injure the neighbors
on both sides. The selecting of the
profile and the fitting Of the plan to
lot requires more careful study than
the plan itself.
In designing this plan, especial at
tention has been given to the living
rooms The two bedrooms and the
bathroom occupy very little space, for
the reason that little time is spent in
these rooms compared with the long
hours in what are generally designated
as the living rooms.
The two bedrooms, with the bath
room between, are very conveniently
arranged. There is an extra door
leading from the parlor into the front
bedroom, for the reason that some
families would furnish this little room
as a den. The extension window in
this front bedroom may be used as a
recess to hold. a folding bed-one OF

The kitchen is large for bungalow
and in addition there is line large
pantry, which makes considerable stor-
