FAVOR THE DELIVERY BOY

For the Improvement of the home
forethe convenience of the delivery
boy keep the kitchen table clear.
Some people have habit of clear
ing the dining room table and piling
the kitchen table full of dirty dishes
and unsightly scraps from the meal
and leave it until the delivery boy
comes in with rush with his arms
full of groceries and no place to put
them He is almost tempted to
throw beefstake and eggs on the
floor and run and who could blame
him If he did!
On baking day don't hide your
pan of cookies or doughnuts, but
have them in sight and when he
comes treat him to these and don't
be backward about cutting a pie for
him. You will see his face light up
with a smile as he connects with
these good things. II you watch you
will see him jam doughnut In his
mouth as he runs for the car. The
delivery boy has long hours, gets
into many kitchens where odors are
tempting, but seldom gets invited to
enjoy any of it's fresh delicacies. He
is under rigid criticism from both
the store and the customer, and
well, he's somebody's big brother,
and it won't hurt you to be bit hui
man with him.

WHY PAPER is SCARCE

NEW YORK-The shortage of
white print paper and means for
meeting the unprecedented situation
were discussed Wednesday by news
paper publishers from all parts of
the United States in attendance at
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton. Because the demand for print
paper is expected to be greatest, as
usual, during the next 80 days, the
publishers were urged to employ
every method of saving, even to the
cutting down of margins.
Reasons for shortage Of white pa
per were outlined in the report by
Lincoln B. Palmer, manager of the
association. He pointed out that the
demand for print paper began to in
crease in the spring with the increase
Of circulation, and the greatest ade-
mand for advertising space. In adj
dition, the European war had divert
ed from England and Scandinavia
many South American publishers
who now are seeking paper in the
American market. Furthermore, the
manufacture of high grades of paper
also has drawn heavily of materials
for lower grades.

ably known In the best farming sec

based up purity, freedom from weed

of the product. The seed acreage
in this county is growing by leaps
and bounds. Many farmers not ia
miliar with the various sides Of the
seed industry will be growing seed.
In order to keep up the reputation
which Bingham county seed now en-
joys and to awaken further and
much greater deamnd for this high
quality seed, an or aniZed, concert
ed effort must be made by the grow
ers to advertise as well as maintain
the excellent quality of same.
An organization of seed growers
can have a wide influence in main

great assistance to its individual
members, financially, by sending out
daily or weekly reports of market

THE MASTERS

In spite of all the talk about ''pop-
ular' and Classical music we call
the man master whose works are
universally popular and his works
become the classics. Everybody can
have the masters of literature stand
ing on his book shelves, but for
many years all efforts to reproduce
paintings have been only moderately
successful. There are the etchings,
half tones, and dozens of varieties of
color prints, but the great drawback
of all Of these has been a fairness
that betrays the printed surface.
Then somebody caught a clever
idea. Why not try to initiate the
brush strokes? and the thick daubs
of color? He tried and now it is
within the means of almost anyone
to have such oily, brush marked can
vases that one will look twice to
see If it is not really hand work.
The smoothness is covered up and
the varnish is the last needed touch
to give the desired effect. These
pictures do not need to be framed
with glass, because they can be wash
ed without harm to them and they
come mounted on frames such as
painters use.
J. A. Toner, of Aberdeen, has Sc
cured the agency to sell these fac
smile copies in this territory, and
he spent last week in Blackfoot with
gratifying success, showing the pic
lures by invitation to those who like
to- have the great master painters
represented in their homes. He will
be in Blackfoot part of this week
and appointments can be made with
him by ringing the Cottage hotel.

KILLED BY AN AUTO

w. I. Sell, of Pocatello, was
thrown from speeding auto Sunday
afternoon south Of Idaho Falls and
instantly killed. He was riding in
the rear seat and rose to look at
the speedometer to see how fast they
were going when the car Jolted
severely by striking a rut, and he
was thrown up in the air so that
the car cleared him and he struck
head first in the hard dry road,
crushing the skull.
The car was being driven by Bar
ney McGarvin, Jr., and Aaron Elliott
and wife and two children and Mr..
Sell were riding with him. They
had gone up from Pocatello to spend
the day at Idaho Falls and were
