ARMoR PLATE COMPETITION.

Frightening Uncle Sam by threats is something which has never resulted in any signal success and it is indeed strange that the armor plate manu- lecturers Of this country should get the idea that they could force it to remain out of that line of business by promising a radical jump in price, such as the threatened $200 ton in. crease. That was like waving a red rag in the face of bull and clearly a most unwise move from their stand point.
 Whatever might be said for or against the government ownership and operation of such plants when it comes to making threats there is nothing surprising in the action of the senate committee on naval af- fairs in quickly forwarding a favor | able report upon appropriating s11,- GOO, 900 for the construction or pur- chase of armor plate factories.
 As much as those concerns engaged in making arlnor plate might desire to keep the government out of the business, much better business sagac- ity would have been displayed had they devoted their time to showing how the launching of such a govern ment enterprise would have stimu- lated competition and that the gov- ernment would be put to the expen- allure of an untold amount of money with no assurance that 1t could pro- duce the same grade of product fol a price which it now pays Could il have been shown that the government would be raying $20O a ton more fol
 it's arrnor plate made in its own fac. | tories than 1t could obtain it for from l private concerns it is safe to say | that there would have been much SC.

 makers appear to have boosted a gov 1 ernmenr plant instead of bIockins. ii

draw it's forces for time but if such was done it would only be for the purpose of going ahead again with greater determination.
 What it's changed policy may mean is to be gathered from the action which has been taken in shutting off trade with Germany as we'll as with Austria, for strange as 1t may seem Italy has never declared war against Germany, and the declaration that large force would be sent into Albania to cooperate with the allied forces at SaIonilki. Italy thus has apparently been brought to the realization that it must join forces with the other al- lies in the war if it is going to attain the success which all are aiming at.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

We have it on the authority of the vice president himself that he is per- fectly willing to be vice-president again, if the Democratic party will be good enough to nominate him and the people of the country elect him. He may be able to compass the first part of his program but the latter section will be rather more than doubtful. Marshall has not impressed any great section of the people as of the calibre to risk in position where he might, through a tragedy, become the president of the United States Ansonia Sentinel

As we have pointed out many times the great danger of the pre- paredness movement is that it may degenerat into an orgie of money
 making. There is unhappily a large army of cash-register patriots that advocate armament for the sole pur- pose of creating a market and selling munitions of war. That sort must be guarded against. We had a glimpse of it's ugliness a day or two ago when the armor plate interests in formed Congress that If the govern ment established armor plate factor

THE SHOULDER LINE.

There is a marked tendency in some of the advance frock models to set the sleeves in at a low shoulder line. Whether this is a forerunner of the kimono sleeve is doubtful but one thing is certain, that sleeves and their settings are important and that you are as apt to see the long tight sleeves punctuated with puffs and ruffles as the full fiaring sleeve banded with vel vet or fur.

LATEST FERN HOLDER.

The latest fern dish resembles the cocoanut, split in half. One may place a fern in the hollow, and the green sprays trailing over the dark coat of the ball give a very artistic effect Or the whole ball may be used and ferns or any kind of trail- ing vine around it. With it's bright green foliage and dark brown color ing this ball introduces the touch of living green that is so desirable in doors in the winter time.

CLEANING PICTURES.

Benzine, naptha and alcohol are best for cleaning the glass of pictures and do not require the care that wa ter does when used for this purpose. If the water leaks through some un- seen crack or crevice and finds its way to the picture it will leave stain or mark, while the three former will dry at once and leave no stain or mark whatever and at the same time they will be found to give the glass @ bril- liant polish without rubbing.

A good method of removing warts is to wet them with hot water and then rub them for two or three min utes with table salt. At the end of this time cover the wart with salt and let it remain undisturbed for another five minutes, when wart should be freed from it's coat of salt. Repeat this treatment several times a day for a week, when, in most cases the wart will be no more. There will be no scar, so feel no fear of this treatment.

Most attractive shirtwaists are being shown in bright blues, pinks and greens and in Serviceable shades of tan. These are perfectly plain, but are enriched by having covered but tons of the material embroidered in combinations of colors.

MARLEY HAS
A BIG TIME
Little School House is Scene
Of Much Enjoyment

Last Saturday night j. S. Hartshorn,
the auctioneer of Jerome, invited us
to take a ride with him to Marley and
see how they pull off dance down
there. After some cOaxing we decided
to go and so Liled into his little tin
willie and started for the scene Of
the big dance and we sure rambled,
for ]. S. can drive a Ford as fast as
he can sell things from the stump
and you know that that is with some
speed We arrived in the main street
of our neighboring city and thought
that we we're driving down the main
thoroughfare of some metropolitan
city from the number of autos and
buggies that were lined up along the
curbing, but the greatest surprise of
all was the number of people we
found in the little schoolhouse. There
were present people from Shoshone,
Jerome, Richfield and in fact from all
over the surrounding country
There were about one hundred and
fifty people present. The music was
furnished by Ernest Jacobson of Rich
field and Art Hutchinson of Shoshone
and it was some music, too, the many
present so enjoying it that they would
have gladly danced without a stop
had the musicians been able to play
without a breath. Mr.. Fagin acted
as floor manager and favored the
many dancers with varied program
giving them everything from the one
nalf-step to the Marley squeeze.
The people of Marley sure know
how to pull off dance that pleases
the young people and are to be con
graduated The clock run down at
ten minutes to twelve and SO we are
unable to state at what time the dance
broke up.

UNPATENED LANDS
CAN BE SEIZED

Caldwell-Th foreclosure can be
made on the land of a government
homesteader who has nothing but re-
ceipt for residence and to whom pat
ent has not been issued, has been es-
tablished by ruling just received from
the department of the interior by the
law firm of Jackson & Walters of this
city.
By affirming the title Mrs. A. F. Can
ter to farm unit E of the Boise project
the department has established a pre-
cedent which, so far as known here, is
both new and far-reaching in it's effects.
Mrs. Canter obtained title to this land
by virtue of foreclosure proceeding
under state laws.
The Importance of the new precedent
lies in the fact that it makes it possible
for an individual to loan money on un-
patented lands on government pro-
ject and afterwards acquire title to it
should the borrower default in making
repayment. Heretofore it was suppos-
ed that the lender advanced money
on such mortgage loan entirely at
his own risk. AS a result it was prac-
tically impossible for a homesteader to
borrow money on his land until he had
secured his patent
The mortgagor upon whom Mrs. Can
tor forclosed held nothing but receipt
for the required residence upon his
land. Under the decision given. Mrs.
Canter now has the right to make
proof of reclamation and receive pat
ent to the land.

TESTS OF MILK PRODUCTION
Cost of Feed Must Be Considered In
Determining Value of CoW-Fat
Content Is Factor.

You cannot tell by the test alone
the value of a COW. 1t depends as
much on the amount of milk she gives
as on the test of the milk. COW that
gives 10000 pounds of three per cent
milk produces 300 pounds of butterfat
and a COW that produces 5000 pounds
of five per cent milk gives no more;
one will produce as many pounds OF
butter in a year as the other, and IN
ssmuch as the fat content of milk Is
fair indication of the other milk solids
present, then the 10000 pounds OF
three per cent milk is worth more
for food than the 5000 of five per cent
milk. Therefore one COW is as valuable
as the other from business stand
point, provided it did not cost any
more to keep one COW than another.
This third factor must therefore be
considered in determining the value
of any cow-the cost of production
