white shoes were worn with this
costume. Quite as popular as wool

the rubberized materials. Full
skirted and founced suits are liked
as much as the palmer one piece

IlH0 WILL Benefit DOUbLY FROM
| GnFRAL GOOD ROAD APPROPRIATION

safe to say that Idaho will receive
direct federal aid for road construction
to the extent of at least $3,909,95O dur
ing the next ten years.
With this help from Uncle Sam, Idaho
can and will build a system of main
highways and branch roads that will be
not only great benefit to our state.
and increase property values, but will
attract thousands of motor tourists, and
make accessible the wonderful scenic
attractions in our mountain section, and
also make it more easy to market the
timber resources of our great forests.
As we already have a state highway
commission ready to neg ,tiate with the
federal officials, there is no reason why
our state cannot at once commence max
ing arrangements for its 1916 share of
this money. l think the commissioners
of every county ought to study this
situation, and get in touch with the
state highway commission upon the SUBJ
ject. 1t is needless to say that / will
gladly cooperate IN every way / can
towards securing Idaho's share of the
appropriation.
The conference of western members,
of which Congressman aylor of Colo
RADIO is chairman, and / am the secre-
tary, which was organized early in the
session with the view of presenting a
solid front when matters of legislation
of interest to the west were brough up
for consideration, demonstrated what
organization will accomplish when the
good roads bill was under consideration
in the house of representatives. Each
western member was active in making a
canvass if the members east Of the
Rocky mountains in support of the pro
vision to appropriate SO 100000 10 be
expended over a period Of ten years in
building roads within the national for.
ests, and after determined fight on
the floor the provisions was adopted
by large majority.

OVERLAND TO MISSOURI.

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Walker, and son,
James, and Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Man
ming will leave Monday for an overland
trip to old Missouri. The Walkers win
travel in their Buick Six and Mr.. and
Mrs. Manning in the Ford which
brought them out from the East last
year and has proven one of the most
reliable cars when it comes to get there.
They expect to take month or more
in making the trip, stopping enroute
and as "Bobo Walker says, catching
any of those gamey trout that may
linger too long in the stream along the
mountain roads. The Walkers will be
gone for six months or more, visiting
with old friends at their former home,
Noel and vicinity and Mr.. and Mrs.
Manning, who came out from Noel last
year, returning to remain.

HAS NO COMPLAINT TO MAKE.

Fred Meader received a letter from
his son, Corporal Harley Meader, who
is serving with the local guardsmen on
the border, in which he state d his health
was fine and the general condition of
all in first class shape. Young Meader
hits the nail squarely on the head when
he states if the boys will follow the ord
ers the government medical men give
them and are promulgated for the pur-
pose of preserving their health, there
will be very little sickness unless it is
caused by overindulgence in the soft
drinks and things of this nature Offered
for sale by the civilians. A post card
view enclosed in the letter indicates
the Idaho boys have established camp
that is an example of order and santa
