COST 500 MORE FOR A
BABY NOW IN ENGLAND

LONDON, Aug. 21.-It is estimated
that the all-around expenditure on a
baby morn this year is probably from
$10O to $125 higher than in 1914.
Food alone adds about SIS to the
years cost of the war-baby. Milk has
gone up four cents quart and it is
said that the average baby consumes
from 400 to 450 pints a year. Baby
foods are up about ten per cent. Feed
ing bottles cost a third more, and the
methylated spirit for heating the
nights feed has advanced from ten
cents to 25 cents a pint.
Baby garments cost more also.
Everything made of wool has risen SO
per cent in price; all the cotton and
wool mixture materials and garments
are 25 per cent higher, the wholly cot
ton ones, owing to the rise in raw ma
terials and labor, must be paid for at
the rate of about fifteen per cent more.
Even baby's bath costs about one
third more; soap is third dearer, the
bath thermometer is up about 25 per
cent, toilet powder chiefly because of
the rise in the price of the boric acid
it contains-is 100 per cent dearer.
Nearly all medicines cost much
more.
Perambulators are about one-fourth
dearer. What formerly was sold for
SIS is now $40 and so on. A cot that
could be bought before the war for IS
is now $3.50; the fleecy wool mattress,
baby's basket and bays high chair are
all up proporionately.
Nurses wages have advanced IS or
more and her keep is costing at least
one-third more-an increase of $50 or
more a year.

AUSTRALIA BUYS SHIPS
TO TRANSPORT WHEAT

MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. Iii
The governments purchase of fifteen
large steamships in England to be OPP
Grated by the Commonwealth in the
movement of Australian wheat to
Europe will not go far towards solving
the problem. The steamers have to-
tai cargo capacity of 10000 tons, but
it is doubtful of they can make more
than two trips each to Europe before
the end of the year, and this will dis
pose of only 100000 bushels of the
huge quantity of the cereal that is
awaiting shipment here.
Australia has almost 10O,0O0,0O0
bushels of wheat stored in sheds or
beginning to sprout in stacks where
storage is unavailable in country
railroad yards, and the Common
wealth's next wheat harvest is already
in sight to further complicate the
problem.
The governments purchase of the
steamers is hailed by the Labor Party
with qualification, for the establish
ment of a government-owned fleet has
long been a plank in its platform.

HELP FOR BLACK CANYON
EXPECTED FROM CONGRESS
caldwell Tribune

Judge ]. M. Thompson has returned
from Washington where he was for
several weeks in the interests of the
Black Canyon Irrigation district.
Judge Thompson states that there
is good prospects of securing finan-
cial help for the Black Canyon pro-
iect from the Congress now in ses-
sion. He also states that no represen-
tation had been made at Washing
ton that the Black Canyon settlers
would be content with the reclama-
ton of $4,000 acres of land. Mr..
Thompson says that the Idaho dele
cation in Congress and everybody
representing this section was holding
out for the whole project and that
there was no talk of compromise.
He made a full report on Black
Canyon affairs as he found them at
Washington to the board of directors
This report will undoubted-
y be published by the board in
,rder that the settlers may know
he exact status of affairs.

chose was rough with knobs and here

roads were rough they all were bad.

to look around-to left or right there

He paused and stopped his tale of
woes and blew some gravel from his
nose; he felt for whiskers that were
gone and heaved sigh and then
went on; Now listen here, Pm telling
you a thing you never want to do.
f you decide to take a track, stay by
your choice and don't look back.
Don't look around; don't look aside; /
ook straight ahead and save your
