Need Major Reed.

The report concerning the condi-
ton of the Idaho building at the San
Francisco exposition should cause an
outburst Of righteous indignation all
over the state. Governor Alexander
may have thought he was doing the
right thing politically when Major
Reed was taken off the job, but those
who have witnessed the humiliating
position in which the whole state is
placed before the whole nation will
not appreciate the change which has
set weIl-established plans awry. The
Idaho building, pretentious as to ex-
terror, may well be called the tomb of
Idaho's buried hopes unless speedy
action is taken to remedy the trouble.
There is nothing on the inside save
space. Major Reed had well defined
plans for the Idaho building. The in
terror shows that some of his exhibits
have been pulled out In their place is
absolutely nothing save promises. Ir-
respective of partisan politics Major
Reed should have been left in charge.
1t is too late now to get his services,
but Governor Alexander as executive
must be held responsible and should
get busy and make his appointee go
to work or get off the job.-Twin Falls
Times.
The above is corroborated by let
ter received by j. R. Field from his
sister, Miss Kate Fields, whose home
is in San Francisco. She says the
Idaho exhibit consists of few jars
Of swollen, discolored fruit in alcohol.

We cannot all be blondes. And by
the same token all our compilations
cannot be rose gardens. If the fates
have strewn daffodills upon your face
be not ashamed, even if you do moth
ing to encourage their growth.
Rather be you proud that sun and
wind have given you something mi
lady's boulder has despaired of initial
ing. For you never saw an artificial
freckle. But as to the roses that bloom
in milady's checks-ah, well! all is
not rose that is red or pink. And
many is the rose that's true, that is
also a hectic bloom, the symbol of
latent disease. But there never
fourished a freckle that did not be-
speak health.
So if you have freckles, exult in
hem. They are true and they are
healthy. And they prove at least
hat you have had a place in the

lows the situation. In fact, he says
he wouldn't be at all surprised if we
have abnormally low prices this year.
India has raised the largest wheat
crop in it's history and it is estimated
it has 100000 million bushels of
grain for export, and which will soon
be available for shipment. Argentine
is another country that has had a
tremendously large crop, and it is
figured Argentine will export at least
120,0O0,000 bushels, If the Darda-
nelles are opened between 150,000,000
and 2000,000,000 bushels of Russian
wheat will be thrown upon the mar
ket. The United States and Canada
have the largest acreage of wheat
in their history, and conditions are
ideal for an enormous yield. Germany
and Austria are large importers of
wheat, and now that they are unable
10 buy, the grain men cannot see
anything ahead but low prices. This
decline will probably be gradual, but
lie considers it inevitable.

Her work In tending the Belgian
wounded has won for her the affection
of the whole Belgian army" said an
English officer of Lady Dorothie Feild-
ing, the pretty young daughter OF the
Earl of Denbigh, to whose unselhsh
bravery heroes themselves pay tribute.
Lady Dorothie is attached to an am
bulance party in Belgium. whose duty
consists of driving motor cars into the
firing line to pick up the wounded.
Perilous journeys have to be made
along narrow roads rendered veritable
death traps by gaping cavities torn in
the surface by. shells. On occasions
pieces of metal discharged by pro-
jectiles bursting overhead have smashed
the woodwork Of Lady Dorothie's car.
and once while she was driving IN
pitch darkness her vehicle crashed into
a hole as big as a room. and forty SOL
diers were required to lift 1t out.
The Belgian soldiers worship the
young English aristocrat, who for their
sakes has set aside the comforts OF
ducal home to face the dangers Of the
battlefield, and recently King Albert

greatly appreciate this little touch OF
civilization amid the ravages of war.
She holds her receptions within range

day, for her ladyship possesses aston
ishing nerves, and her GOODNESS seldom

exactly understand the object OF load

for its effect on the sudden jamming to-

the muzzle. When the shot charge is
divided up by cardboard wads, the
spring of the cardboard wads and the
fact that the shot are not in solid
mass prevents their being jammed to-
gether. thus producing somewhat the
same patterns as would be produced by
a cylinder bore barrel. There is no
way that l know of to make cylinder
bore shotgun shoot more open. In
creasing the shot charge over the 12

being / v ounces to 2la ounces, would
reduce the spread of shot instead of in

TIPS THAT WERE TIPS.
Story Of How Old Doorman at Del.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
A good many thousand college grad
yates will envy that doorman at Del
monico's, who testified that he had
made $1,000. 900 on stock market tips
given to him by the customers Of the
restaurant. He explained that his COL
lege education enabled him to talk in
teliigently to these men. and that their
advice helped him to build up a big
fortune. although he was working for
q dollar a day
We suspect that there was a native
intelligence behind the college educa-

that native foundation. Else would all

The experience thus revealed is SO
unusual that nobody may expect ~ re-
