77.120 women, as compared with
1854 men and 1857 women in

Trey were Cockneys, mostly, with a
military knowledge considerably less

AIRY, was alone in a trench with a
group of seasoned fellows, fresh from
the Indian service and graduates of
the Boer War: AIRY had brought to-
bacco and a pipe with him from Lon

possessions. Suddenly there was a
loud explosion, and the trench was
filled with dust from a part of an ex-

that dust with his face ashen.

BUILDING Of PARIS
SUBWAYS PROCEEDS
Whole City Is Torn Up; French
Expect Big Building Boom
After War
Correspondence of the Associated

Correspondence of the Associated
Press)
Paris.-Paris Is not likely, even in
war time, to lose its reputation of being
the most continually uptorn town in
Europe. The construction of its net
work of subways and the incidental re-
arrangement of sewers and other under
ground work is still going on, simul-
taneously with repaving and house
building. 1t has taken three years to
tear down the old Theater des Nou-
veautes and reconstruct on it's site two
new buildings and the new street, the
Rue des Italians. Meantime the Boule-
ward des Italians has been more or less
obstructed at that point and the outlook
spoiled by an immense pallisade used
as billboard 1t is now announced
that the buildings are finished, the bill
boards are coming down and an i'm
mense moving picture show is to open
on the spot where the Nouveautes
stood
All the projected subway lines will
be finished soon, throwing thousands
of laborers out of employment, and
other building enterprises will suffer
until finances are rearranged. But
there will be no lack of work after the
war, in the opinion of city officials.
The formidable task of leveling the old
fortifications has been held in sus-
pense, partly to absorb the labor that
would be released from the subway
work. This project alone will be suffl-
cient to give work to all the "terras-
siers' omen who work with pick and
shovel for years to come.
With the disappearance of the for
titications and the opening of new
boulevards skirting the parks to- be
laid out on the site of the military
zone, a great building boom is antici-
pated that will keep all the building
trades busy for years

The size of the seedsmen's lists is
very largely, If not entirely, governed
by the grower, and the remedy lies
wholly with him.
The efforts of the potato grower,
dealer and scotsman hsould be di-
rected as follows:
l. Reduce the variety list to a few
standard commercial varieties.
2. Standardize these by careful sell
ection and culture.
3. Adopt the community plan OF
growing but one or two varieties and
advertise this fact to the public
4. Demand a higher grade seed po-
tato from your seed grower or dealer

POTATO VARIETIES
One or Two Kinds, Adapted to Soil
and Climate, Most Profitable.

With the close of the potato harvest
season for 1915 the time seems OppOr-
tune to call to the attention of both the
grower and the scotsman the desira-
bility of considering seriously very
material reduction in the number or
varieties grown in any given commun-
ty or section of the country.
1t has been the history of every
other staple crop that the fewer var
ieties grown the more easily marketed.
The pioneer fruit grower in America
tried to grow as large a list of varl-
cites as he could afford to purchase,
while today the tendency is to reduce
the list to the least number than can
be depended upon to meet the market
requirements The reason for this is
that it has been found a much easier
task TO sell large quantities Of one
variety than an equal quantity made
up of large number of varieties. 1t
is believed that the same principle
applies to the potato crop.
In a recent publication by the de-
partment Bulletin No. 176, a system
of classification of potatoes is pre-
scented in which the leading CONNER
cial types are referred to II groups,
and list of the varieties studied
which are thought to belong to each
group is furnished. In many cases the
varieties listed in each group are so
nearly identical that in the opinion OF
the author of this bulletin there is no
justification for the retention of more
than 10 per cent. of them.
The commercial grower should de-
termine what group or class of pota-
toes is best adapted to his climatic
and soil conditions, and then confine
his efforts to not more than one or two
varieties within that group. In this
way it will be possible for him to be-
come more familiar with the behavior
of the variety he is growing; to rec
ognize it's special cultural require
ments and to offer for sale much
more uniform and high-grade product
than where he is dissipating his en-
ergies on dozen or more varieties.
| The potato growers of some of our
Middle West States, particularly those
of Wisconsin, are being strongly urged
| by their potato specialists and state
associations to adopt the community
plan Of growing potatoes of one, or
at the most, two varieties. In this
way the buyer can be assured of secur-
ing a uniform stock, in carload lots, of
Green Mountain, Rural New York, or
! other classes OF potatoes.
The movement must come from the
grower through combining his efforts
| to few varieties, preferably not more
than one or two. These should be
selected intelligently, with reference
to soil and climatic conditions. For
example, the Green Mountain group is
particularly well adapted to the cooler

MAKE GREAT STATE FAIR
Nampa and Caldwell Business Men
Discuss Location Of State Fair,

On the invitation of the Idaho State
Fair association, a small delegation of
Nampa business men went to Caldwell
Wednesday night to discuss with rep
resentatives of the association the
proposition Of bringing the state fair
to Midway, four miles from Nampa.
Caldwell realizes" said one of the
members OF the fair board, that she
can retain the fair on its present
basis, but we want something better,
we want to raise the fair out Of the
county fair class. We want to make it
q truly great fair, representative Of
the state fair as q whole.
For that reason we want the in
fluence and cooperation Of Nampa and
her citizens. II the two towns will
pull together and work they can get
the support from the state and the
recognition of livestock associations
and farmers associations and with
that we can have the one big agricul-
tural show in. the state of Idaho. It
is splendid chance for us to bury our
petty jealousies and do something big
for southwestern Idaho.
Even though Caldwell should GO
ahead and expand the fair alone and
without the help of her neighbor she
would be handicapped, for she has moi

them. l was not disappointed with
the results, for they helped me in
every way, removing the kidney and
