UNITED STATES BEET
SEED Go. WAREHOUSE

The United States Beet Seed COM
panv, with offices and headquarters here,
has commenced the construction of a
great warehouse on the Oregon Short
Line spur on the west side of the river.
Construction work on the building be-
gan last week and the building will be
ready for use this fall. The plans for
the warehouse. which is to be story
and half structure. 50x160 feet, were
prepared by Fretwell & Winburn, archi-
tects, of Idaho Falls.
The warehouse will be used for the
storage and sales rooms for the product
of the company in charge.
The United States Beet Seed com
pany is probably the only business and
institution of the kind in the United
States, and as a result Idaho Falls will
occupy another conspicuous place on the
map of the commercial industries of
the country.
War conditions abroad FASTENED the
elimination of plans, which have been
under consideration for number of
years. Until recently the sugar beet
companies of the United States have
been supplied with the seed necessary
to grow the beets from Germany and
parts of Russia, and the seed were
shipped to this country at great ex-
pense.
In order to get rid Of that expense
and insure this country of the necessary
supply (and the demand is growing all
the time) the sugar beet growers of the
United States, encouraged by the Utah
Idaho Sugar company, took up the mat
ter of growing the "mother beets" in
this country and sections of beet land
near Idaho Falls and Sugar City were
selected and placed in the hands of ex-
perts, who looked after the soil and de-
veloped the plants and harvested the
| first crop of seed several years ago,
which were in turn planted and an ex-
cellent crop produced, all of which
firmly established the industry in the
United States and permitted teh beet
growers and the sugar companies to
declare their independence of foreign
countries in that respect.
AS stated, the sugar companies OF
the United States organized the United
States Beet Seed company, with farms,
offices and geneal headquarters here and
in the hands of experts, under the di-
rect management Of Mr.. Winterhalter,
who has Offices in the Shane building.
On the completion of the great ware
house Idaho Falls will become estab-
lished as the distributing point for SUI
gar beet seed in the United States.
The Utah Idaho Sugar company is
building a beet dump on the railroad in
the immediate vicinity of the new
wa rehouse.-Idaho Falls Register.

July Weather Brings
Out Cool Frocks
Sports Costumes Find Favor With the
Fluffiest of Lingerie Dresses
Tailored Hats Large and Sparsely Trimmed

at last managed to combine comfort
with grace and charm. The sports cos
tune predominated; various styles of
MILDLY and Russian blouses were worn
with trim fitting skirts; chic suits of
striped and plain mohair, pongee or
linen, with Norfolk coats and pleatcd
skirts, were favored; and sweater coats,
with self or contrasting skirts, were also
popular. The MILDLY blouse costumes
were developed in the regulation white
linen, duck or galatea, with collar and
cuffs of blue and skirts of the new
striped cotton novelties, mohair, or plain
white linen. The modified Russian and
"slip-on' blouses favored the white
and colored Japanese silks pongee, plain
or figured, Shantung, or Georgette, and
were usually combined with skirts Of
thin, light or dark silks. One especially
pretty costume developed in plain natur.
al colored pongee, trimmed and combin'
ed with skirt of dark blue foulard dot
ted with bright green, is illustrated here
1t Is slip-on model with cool, becoming
sleeves and an effective collar. The
skirt is simple gathered design, short
and full, but unusually graceful.
The, plain white Russian blouse cos
tune of Georgette crepe is particularly
effective and cool for these hot summer
days, and perfectly appropriate for sum-
mer evening wear at roof garden, or
summer show. The simple voiles, too,
are being developed in charming models
with touch of black, or bright color
at girdle or throat. The new voiles are
washable in most mixtures, and gener-
ally satisfactory.
Cool Frochs for Street Wear
Dark blue in taffeta, Georgette, serge
and satin is the leading color for city
street wear, in spite of its apparent
warmth. AS most of these frocks, how
ever, are made with white or self-col-
ored transparent sleeves, they are in re.
atty quite as cool as a light colored
frock. Dark blue Georgette is often used
for the entire dress, collared and cuffed
with taffeta, and trimmed with a band
or two Of the taffeta on the skirt. The
straight-lined, one-piece serges which
one meets SO often on the avenue these
days-for there are many smart cos
tunes to be seen on the avenue owing
to the lure of the shops; for those who
fly town at the first hint of summer
are tempted by the shops, and motor
in frequently to visit them-are often
trimmed effectively with braid or beads
in designs worked out in colors. Fol
instance, dark blue serge and Geor
gette frock seen day or two ago, had
an odd, applique design in blue velvet
trimming the jumper, which was OF
serge; the design, which was small
leaf, was repeated on the collar anJ
cuffs. Sashes, which are feature Of
both linen and serge frocks this summer
offer a pleasing opportunity for intro

Glycerine and Bark

WHERE WE GOT "JUNKET"

Twenty years ago "junket" was an
almost unknown word in this country.
Some of us remember how our mothers
prepared "curds and whey or
"slip'' from new milk with a piece Of
calf's stomach carefully preserved for
the purpose. This was especially done in
the English settlements, for in Europe
the dish is hardly known out Of Eng
land, where Devonshire junket" has
long been relished as an exquisite deli
cacy; and there we find it also men,
toned in literature by Spenser:
"And beare with you both wine and
'Jundcates fit and bid him eat"
By Milton:
"With stories told of many feat
How faery NAB the junkets eat"
While Sir Walter Besant says:
'She made him stand by and help
make
.Junket which Devonshire people be-
lieve
Cannot be made outside of Dartmoor."
Parties would make excursions or pic
MES from London to Devonshire to en-
joy their curds and whey with clOtted
cream hcaped on the top of the con-
gealed milk. ga junketing trip is a
well known expression yet, but few
people know its origin. When the good
old Londoners went out on these period
| zeal picnics away from home they were
apt to indulge in something stronger
than curds and whey, and the word
"junketing" therefore acquired fair
ly disreputable meaning.

1t is no longer the price Of the hat
which counts, for there are some very
inexpensive hats being worn just now
by the best dressed women, but the
chic of its coloring and trimming that
is important. For instance, the soft,
light weight Bankok, the Wen-Chow
and the chair-cane hats are all favored,
finished with just bright bit of OPP
plique embroidery which harmonizes
with suit or frock. One of the smartest
hats seen this season was a dark tan
Wen-C with one of the new quarter
ed crowns in dark purple satin, trimmed
with motif in delft blue and white
Chinese embroidery. A purple satin
handbag with another blue and white
motif completed the effect, which was
charming. This hat and bag were worn
with dainty little corded frOck Of
tan crepe de Chine, made with petit
coat of cream batiste embroidery which
showed just bit below the silken skirt.

A daily paper says: cit is not safe
to rely solely upon dreadnaughts, or
cruisers, or submarines. A modern navy
must be well balanced. Naval experts
know what is needed and the senate
bill follows their recommendations as
nearly as is politically possible There
it is again! Politically possible! The
country's needs playing second fiddle to
peanut politics. 1t has always been so,
and, we presume, always will be-or
at least until we tire of sending peanut
politicians to represent us in the halls
of statesmen.

NEW YORK, JULY Is.

NEW YORK, JULY Is.
July lived up to tradition this year, af-
fording us an opportunity to wear our
sheerest lingerie frocks and our smart
est sports costumes during the holidays.
The nearby resorts were crowded on the
Fourth, which CHANGED to be an ideal
day, with well dressed men and women.
A tiny flag, or bit of red, white and
blue, was detail Of most costumes; the
men wore it ON coat lapel, in hat band,
or protruding from pocket; the women
pinned it daintily to the underbodice
of the sheer blouse or frock. from where
its colors shone out softly and effect
lively; or tucked small silk flag into
the girdle of the white frock, or into the
pocket Of the sports coat.
MILDLY Blouse and Serge Skirt
Our patriotism was just a little more
pronounced than usual this year, owing,
no doubt, to the rumors of war which
have been coming to us lately, and the
military preparations going on about US,
