GERMANS DRIVEN
OUT OF TRENCHES
FRENCH CLAIM SUCCESS IN IN
PANTRY CHARGES IN THE
aVERDUN REGION.
The Claim is Made by Germans That
Attacks by Frenchmen Were Re-
pulsed.-Victory in Air Fight
Claimed by French.

London.-The French and Germans
on several sectors to the northwest
of Verdun have been engaged in rela-
lively heavy infantry fighting, with the
results evidently in favor of the
French. To the north of lie Mort
Homme the French seized German
trench and captured fifty-three prison
ers and to the north of Cumieres made
a similar gain in which thirty prison
ers were taken. Berlin says t@at strong
French attacks from lie Mort Homme
to the northern part of the Caurettes
wood were repulsed
On the remainder of the French
front, except from small infantry at
tacks. notably in the Vosges noun
tains and in the region of Lassigny,
bombardments alone have been in
progress.
In fights in the ali the French claim
that their aviators have brought down
four Fokkers and four other German
aeroplanes, while Berlin says that in
chine was shot down.
Except for an Austrian attack on
the Col Di Lana, which the Italians re-
pulsed, only bombardments have taken
place on the Austro-Italian line.
In the region south of La,Se Narocz,
q further success for the German arms
against the Russians in the capture of
four guns, one machine gun and eighty
three prisoners is reported by Berlin.

THE HEALTH OF THE COUNTRY
SCHOOL CHILD

Certain prime essentials to the good
health of school children include the
following:
Eight TO nine hours sleep every
night in a cool, well-ventilated room,
with the window open at the top and
the bedroom door closed
Arising in the morning in time for
a thorough cleansing of the whole
body, and a comfortable breakfast,
which should include fruit, we'll
cooked cereal, and milk;
Attention to the bowels before leav-
ing for school. The value of regular
habits in this regard cannot be over
estimated;
A digestible and nourishing lunch.
Money given to children for this pur-
pose is usually spent in pies, cakes
and candies. In some communities
a single hot dish has been provided
for the children through cooperation
between the school board and the pa
rents The effect upon the children
has been excellent;
Regulation of the hours for outdoor
exercise as well as those spent in
study;
Keep at home, until they are well,
children showing the slightest signs
fOr calxn
and that of other children;
Cleasing the. teeth by rinsing the
mouth every morning with a little
warm water-very hot or very cold
water should not be used, as it Will
injure the enamel (the hard covering
Of the teeth. The teeth should be
carefully brushed every morning and
every evening, using some good tooth
preparation, preferably Pebeco,
Study your child's associates Chill
dren at this age are as receptive to
evil as to good, and cleanliness OF
mind as we'll as of the body should
be taught in the home.
Cooperate with, and find out the
needs Of, the teacher. Many things can
and will be done to improve condi-
tions within and without the small
school if the parents of the neighbor-
hood will interest themselves in the
subject. Only by this means are there
to be found scattered here and there
throughout the State, little schools
that are a delight to the eye, plea
sure for the pupils to attend, and an
evidence of progressive and intel
ligent public spirit

LOCAL BANK
BURGLARIZED
Money Stolen is Protected
by Insurance

The peace and quietude of Richfield
received a shock when on Monday
morning B. w. Reeves on his way to
his place of business discovered that
the side door to the Bank was open,
and upon investigation discovered the
vault door open and the room scatter
ed with papers and debris as the re-
suit of safe blowers.
The work was evidently done be-
tween the hours of 2 and a. M. on
Monday.
large sledge hammer small
hammer. and pinch bar were taken
from the blacksmith shop, the single
door on the east which is always
kept locked, was forced; the robbers
then took the lamp from the direc-
tors room after which they proceeded
to use the sledge in knocking off the
handle to the vault door. They then
inserted a charge of powder which
was exploded by cap and fuse. The
charge used was sufficient to blow the
combination loose and badly split the
seams of the door
After gaining entrance to the vault
they secured about $500, mostly in
silver that was laying on top of the
safe, as George Schwaner, the cash
Ter, had been clerking a sale at Mar
lev on Saturday and returned with
the proceeds; and as the safe had
been locked and the timelock set it
could not be opened They also broke
open a small tin box belonging to
the postmaster, x. G. Phelps, from
which they took $132 in cash. All the
drawers in the office proper were
opened and ransacked but nothing OF
value found, except Al Colts six
shooter which they took with them.
The sheriff's Office was notified at
once and the machinery set in mo-
ton to capture the robbers.
The bank is fully protected from
any loss by insurance, and they are
also under the protection of the Pink
erton Detective Agency.

PARTIES TO UNITE
ON ONE NOMINEE

Boise, May 3-The situation in Idaho
so far the Republicans and Progressives
are concerned is what might be termed
EXTRAORDINARY satisfactory. There has
grown into exist nee of late feeling
among those who have been members
of both parties that in the future there
will be but one party and but one tic
ket will be presented to the suffrages
of the people in the various counties,
the state and the nation. In conversa-
tion the other day one of the members
of the delegation to the Chicago con-
vention stated that it was the under
standing among the leading progress
sives of the state that tentative un-
derstanding had been reached between
the Republican an Progressive national
committees that if the Republicans at
Chicago would adopt platform con-
tanning some of the essential planks of
the Progressive platform of 1912, the
Progressive party would then and there
go out of existence everywhere.
The gentleman further stated that
the fear expressed by many of the old
line Republicans that the nomination
of Roosevelt would be all that would
satisfy the progressives was the veriest
nonsense, and that almost any of the
candidates mentioned by the Republi-
cans would receive the hearty approval
of the Progressives. Naturally, -
said the Progressive, ''many of those
who were followers of Colonel Roose-
velt in 1912 would be glad to have him
for the standard bearer of the party,
but there are others in the party who
would prefer others. In Idaho the
Progressives, almost to man and
woman, believe, are hoping that Sen
ator Borah may be selected. We ap-
preciate the fact that such action by
the national convention is hardly to be
looked for but we are prepared to go to
Chicago and put our shoulder to the
wheel to accomplish this result,

3AIRYING ON BUSINESS BASIS
Farmers Must Use MIX Scales, Tester
and Record Book-Keep Account
With Each Cow.

In, order to put dairying upon busi-
ness basis every farmer needs to use
the milk scales, the tester and the rec
ord book. Farmers must come to this
proposition and do little simple book
keeping to know where they are.
Every successful business man has q
ledger to guide him in his transac-
tions.
Every dairyman. needs to enter a
separate account with each of his COWS
so that he may have an indicator to
tell him at the end OF the year just
how much feed each has consumed,
the amount of milk produced and the
percentage it tests.
Too many farmers of this country
are still keeping scrub cows, feeding
and milking them twice each day
fourteen times each week and sixty
times ca ch month.

USE FREE WATER
broke up

The spillway is now carrying over
large volumn of water that is going to
waste, and as we understand it this
water is free to all who can use it, the
high winds that we are having will dry
the moisture out of the ground very
rapidly. and those who are in position
to use this water on their alfalfa, or
grain should avail themselves of the
opportunity, and particularly keep their
hay fields we'll soaked down. The com
pany has issued the following instruc-
tions to the ditchriders:
During the time that water is flow
ing over the Spillway at the Magic
Dam in excess of the amount required
by the river rights and the demands of
our project we will deliver to all of our
contract holders, who are entitled to
water, any amount of water they may
desire and can put to use on lands on
which the NJ and 0. has been paid ir-
respective of the amount to which they
are entitled; with the distinct under
standing that delivery of water in ex-
cess of contract amount is at all times
contingent upon the capacities of the
canals and laterals.

Washington. D. C.-The scarcity of
marines in the United States is max
ing itself felt just now when demands
are being made on the Marine Corps
for more men to guard the navy yards
and naval stations.
About sixty per cent of tho U. S.
Marines are in service aboard ship
or on foreign stations, and less than
2O00 are available for navy yard duty
in the United States.
Because of the attractiveness of its
service the Marine Corps has little
difficulty in procuring recruits, and
It's ranks are kept filled to overflow
ing nearly all the time, but the au-
thorized strength of the Corps is onl5'
$40 officers and 1921 men. Congress
has been asked to increase this
strength by 5000 men and officers.

SILAGE REDUCES FEED COST
Kansas Station Conducts Test on Pro-
duction of Butterfat During sum-
mer and Winter.

AID experiment conducted at the
Kansas experiment station shows that
silage reduces the cost of producing
butterfat from 80 cents to Il cents.
The herds in this case were OF SUM
cient size to give reliable data ana
eliminate the difference that might oc'
cur between two cows.
The lot which we're fed silage gave
seven pounds more milk in the sum-
mer and 95.5 more in winter per
month than the herd which were fed
dry feed. The butterfat was also IN
creased by 46 in summer and 4.6 In
winter. The difference in the cost OF
feed was even greater.
The silage-fed COWS saved so cents
per month in the cost of feed.

Idahoan Meets Sudden Death.

Idaho Falls, Idaho.-William |. Sell
of Pocatello. 65 years of age, was in
stantly killed Monday evening
by being thrown from an automobile.
About a mile from town, just after
crossing a bridge, one wheel struck a
hole in the road. Mr.. Sell was stand
ing up, it is supposed, to look at the
speedometer and was thrown out,
striking squarely on top of his head,
bursting it wide open. Brains and
pieces of skull were scattered for
more than forty feet around.

SUDAN FOR WASTE PLACES

Sudan grass is being recommended
for planting in patches where crab
grass or foxtai has taken alfalfa
Every alfalfa field has such spots and
there is hardly farm on which there
is not some waste place that would be
better producing some useful crop than
allowed to go to weeds. Quite often
around the edges of an alfalfa field the
alfalfa has been killed out If such
places cannot be successfully reseeded
they can at least be made to produce
some good hay by disking them and
sowing Sudan
Sudan will stand cutting as aften as
will the alfalfa and will take the
ground so thoroughly that crab grass
and other weeds will have little chance.
The hay is relished by stock and where
it is not to be sold on the market the
alfalfa is not injured. If the crop is
to be sold, it would be necessary to use
little care and stack the alfalfa con
tanning the Sudan grass in one end of
the stack. Handled in this way the
mixed hay that would not sell well on
the market can be fed.
Sudan is probably better adapted to
use on such spots in alfalfa fields or
other waste places on the farm than
any other crop that can be grown. 1t
has been successfully used in this way
by number of farmers over the state.

TROOPS TO STAY,

Agreement With Mexicans.

Washington-Pres Wilson mas
not altered his purpose to keep Amer
lean troops in the border region of
Mexico until brigandage has come to
an end.
After a brief conference at the
White House on Monday Secretary
Baker prepared further instructions
for Generals Scott and Funston,
sought by the officers as result of
their conference with General Obre-
gon, Carranzas war minister. The
message went forward Monday night
Its contents were not revealed, but
both Secretary Lansing and Secretary
Baker said there had been no change
In the administrators policy.
1t is believed the American confer
ees sought additional instructions be-
cause General Obregon dwelt upon the
view of the de facto government that
the American expedition should be
withdrawn at once AS General Scott
had no power to discuss this matter,
he presented what the Mexican war
minister had to say to Washington.
Eliseo .Arredondo, Mexican ambas-
sador designate, called on Secretary
Lansing on Monday to renew his argu-
ment in favor of the early withdrawal.
He followed closely the line taken by
General Obregon in his exchange of
views with Generals Scott and Fun
ston. He was informed that the state
department would not take up any
diplomatic discussion on this subject,
as urged by General Carranza, until
after the military conference at Ell
Paso had been concluded.
