ALEXANDER WILL
CARRY THE SOUTHEAST
lCapital Newsl


Following a tour of the south
eastern part of the state, A. C.
Hindman, vice chairman of the
Democratic state central COM
mittee, returned to Boise this
morning, reporting an pptimis-
tic outlook for the party, both
from the state and national tick
ct standpoints. On this trip he
visited BannOck, Bonneville, Ere
mont and Bingham counties, his
principal object being to see how
the several county committees
are getting along with their cam
paign organizations.
Chairman Hindman said he
did not visit a county where the
party leaders did not express
confidence in Wilson and Alex
.ander carrying their section. The
governor, he says, will run fully
as strong in the southeast as he
did two years ago and will get
even a larger vote in the rural
communities.
"All of the county organiza-
tions are in excellent shape" said
Mr.. Hindman in discussing his
trip. 81 didn't visit place
during the entire trip where con-
ditions we're not much better
than l had anticipated. Neither
did l find any of the county COM
mittee leaders who were not GER
tain that Wilson and Alexander
alike would poll the majority of
their vote.
1.-The labor and railroad ele-
ment in PocatellO is so apprecia-
tive of the administration that,
although strongly republican, the
Bannock county organization be-
lieves the city will go to Wilson
by at least a 600 majority.
During my trip | met two rep
resentatives of eastern news
papers who are out here sizing
up the political situation. Boil
declared that their observation.
led them to believe that Wilson
will carry Idaho, and they are 81
reporting to their papers.
ION the train from Nampa t,
lPocatello a poll was taken on tn,
presidential vote. Out of tn
40 who voted, 26 were normal,
Republican and "A Democratic
yet 90 expressed a preference 70
Wilson. This is a clear gain o
six votes for the Democrat
party and a loss of an equa
number to the Republicans. Tn
vote was taken by a representa-
, tive of the New York Herald, VIII

Ihe Board OF EQucdJlOn nelQ
its regular monthly meeting last
evening with all members pres
ent.
A committee representing
three Of the women's clubs of the
city composed of Mrs. O. d. Platt,
representing the Mothers Club;
Mrs. d. C. Shaw, representing
the Embroidery Club; and Mrs. C.
H. Gregory, representing the
Womens Study Club presented a
petition from the boys and girls
of the high school requesting
permission to use the high school
gymnasium for class parties, to
entertain visiting teams, and to
hold one dance a month. The
petition had received the en-
dOrsement of the three clubs and
the committee was present to
urge the board to grant the re-
quest. Mrs. o. d. Platt ad-
dressed the board stating the
reasons why the clubs favored
the granting of the petition.
Mr.. Hemingway stated that the
pupils already had permission
to use the gymnasium for all of
the purposes mentioned except to
hold dances. He stated that re-
quest had been refused two years
before and was opposed to using
the school building for dances.
Mrs. Gregory favored granting
the request, stating that she was
opposed to public dances and as
the pupils would dance anyway
she favored this kind of a private
dance, restricting the pupils to
one a month, the hours to be
from $3.50 to 1880 and prohib-
iting them from attending any
public dances. Mrs. Johnson al
so favored the idea as did Mr..
LanderyOu, who stated he was
willing to leave the question to
the mothers and if they favored
it he was with them.
Mr.. Johnston opposed granting
the request, saying that he did
not think majority of the pat
rons of the school were in favor
of it.
Supt. Lukens then said that
he was sorry the matter had
come up as no matter which way
it was decided it would cause
trouble. He stated he was ready
to carry out the wishes of the
board in the matter but suggest
ed that the hours be set from g
TO II and the number of dances
during the year be restricted to
six, the dances to be under the
supervision Of the superintend-
ent.
He also suggested that all of
the parents of pupils in the high
school should be consulted and
the board be governed by their
wishes. His suggestions met
with the approval of the entire
school board and the members of
the committee and a motion was
carried postponing action and
that petitions for and a remon-
STRANGE against the proposal
should be prepared and the sig
natures Of all of the parents be
obtained, either for OF against.
The regular business was then
taken up and Supt. Lukens made
his monthly report showing 55e
pupils enrolled and the average
attendance 523. He also report
ed the number of cases of tardi-
ness and the means adopted tC
try and do away with this, as Sc
forth in his report given in thl
last issue Of The Record. Therl
was considerable discussion o
this phase Of his report, tn

tardy and the causes. The ac

Bead embroidery is suggested as Il

In developing frocks that will De

wise to bear in mind that Nine. Mode

That it will also be a trif1e narrow

one is likely to lose sight of the mar

However, neither hobble nor trail

apply to the general run of gowns that

signet of fall and winter Of 1861.

Easy to Make Pulled Rugs.

The handicraft of pulled rugs has
rugs it is perhaps the most important
from the craftSman'S point of view.
The new rugs are made in effective de-
signs and color combinations. Many
Of them are copied from the Indian
and Mexican patterns of handicraft
and they are singularly in keeping
with this style of a rug. These rugs
are not hard to make, but it requires
some practice to attain the necessary
dexterity in handling the hook and
rags.
A rug hook and a frame are the i'm
plements required. Either cotton or
wool rags can be used, but the wool
rags will make a softer, more velvety
rug. Burlap is used for the foundation
and the pattern is stenciled on the
burlap before it is stretched in the
frame. The wool or cotton rags are
cut into strips one-fourth of an inch
wide. The strip is held under the
burlap foundation and pulled through
the burlap into loops, leaving about
three threads of the burlap between
each loop. The rug hook, by which
the loops are pulled through, is ma
nipulated by the right hand while the
strip is held underneath with the left
hand. The loops should be about
three-eighths of an inch above the
surface Of the burlap. The rug is
worked back and forth with short
quick movements, changing the color
as indicated by the stenciled pattern.
The frame, which is not unlike a
quilting frame, should be placed so
that the work can be accomplished
without STOPPING, otherwise it would
be tiresome. The burlap, too, must be
most securely fastened in the frame
or the finished rug will not be straight.
After the rug is finished the longest
loops are cut SO as to produce an even
nap. Books containing information
about these rugs can be secured in the
public Libraries and the frame and
hook for making can be purchased
where the rug outfits are sold.

CULTURE OF HARDY ANIMALS
BY LIMA P. ROSE.

Seeds of hardy ANNALS should be
sown early, in shallow boxes or pots
and placed in a warm window, or q
kotbed. A second sowing ought to be
made from two To four weeks after
for a succession, as well as to pro-
vide against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed is shallow box from two to
three inches deep and of any con-
venient size.
The best soil for all of the smaller
kinds is very fine, rich, sandy loan.
The very best soil is that taken from
old hotbeds, or from old pasture land
piled up in sods and allowed to rot
for two or three years and then mixed
with sand and a little old stable ma
nure.
Give the tiny plants plenty of air
and moisture, yet rot too much water,
or they will damp off," Get pots two
inches or more in diameter and plant
the young seedlings along the edges
of the pots, SO that as soon as the
ground is warm enough they can be
easily turned out and planted singly
as by that time they will have good
roots.
Do not cover seeds too deeply. This
is a common and disastrous mistake.

WINDOW BOXES

If there are some windows about
the house where you would like to
have some plants growing, and no pro-
visions have been made for boxes for
them, don't forego the pleasure be-
cause it seems to be late in the sea-
son.
Use Coleus instead of Towering
plants. A row of the yellow variety
about the outside of the box with scar
let in the center, will make your win
dow brilliant with color, and as these
plants are of rapid growth you will
not have to wait long for results.
They will often be found more sat
isfactory than Towering plants, be-
cause their richly colored foliage will
take the place of flowers, and it will
be in evidence at all times while few
Towering plants will afford a constant
show of color
The gray centaufea and the orange
yellow pyrethrum golden feather)
can be used with the scarlet and yell
low varieties of coleus, with fine eff
feet.
Don't be sparing of water on your
window boxes. Ninety-nine cases Of
failure out of a hundred result from q
lack Of sufficient water.
Being exposed to the air on all sides,
evaporation takes place very rapidly.
Apply water by the pailful instead of
the bowlful, and there need be no
fo
the window box as in the garden beds.

CLOCK HOLDS SHIPS SAFETY
Chronometer is the Most Wonderful
and Accurate Timekeeper
Made.

A ships chronometer is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeeper
made, for upon it's accuracy depend
the lives of all on board. SO accurate
indeed, is a ships chronometer that it
does not vary a second day.
An error of only a few seconds may
put a captain of a vessel miles out of
his reckoning at sea, and run the ship
into great danger. For that reason
every ships timepiece goes through
the most thorough tests before it is
pronounced perfect.
1t is sci going in a very hot room
and then transferred to cold one, for
it may be used in any part Of the
world, from the polar regions TO the
tropics, and it must always keep good
time.
Most large vessels have three chro-
nOmeters on board in case Of accidents.
and whenever a vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see if they are still accurate. On board
ship the chrOnometer is kept amidships
because there is the least motion and
the smallest variation of temperature.

HAS hint OF FALL
SUMMER MODEL GIVES IDEA OF
THE COMING STYLES.
Selection of Materials Matter for In
dividuaI Fancy Longer Skirt
Will Be in Vogue During
the Coming Season.

The vogue of taffeta is notfceablv
waning a little at the present time.
This is undoubtedly due, in large
measure, to the early fall style bulle-
tins, which state that satin is to be
the leader in silken fabrics for the
coming season. The coat dress, as
some customers like to call the one
piece frock Of serge, satin, ETC.. is de-
cidedly popular now, owing to the fact
that throughout large portion of the
country a very backward summer has
retarded the wearing of thin, distinct
ly summer garments, and great many
of these smart little utility frocks are
being turned out, carrying early fall
style lines.
Among the very newest models there
is a noticeable tendency to favor
somewhat longer than normal waist
line in garments designed for wear by
the younger women, or women of any
age possessing slim, youthful figures.
Redingote frocks carry this long
wasted silhouette, and a great many
Russian suggestions are offered, as
well as frocks suggesting MILDLY blouse
or smock lines.
White collars made of broadcloth,
flannel or satin are used on many of
the new heavy serge models.
Gabardine and tricot are also to be
favorite fabrics in the development
of coat dresses for early fall wear.
The little frock shown in the sketch
is distinctly a summer model and at
the same time hint of fall style lines
Is carried in the redingote drapery.
Dark green satin and georgette of
the same shade were the materials Sc
lected, although this may of course be
varied to suit the individual fancy.
The gown proper is made of satin,
only the tunic drapery, the upper half
of the sleeves, the sleeve frills, and
the upper part of the bodice employing
georgette. The back of the bodice is

BIouses Are GAY.

Paris is wearing very gay blouses
with wood tailleurs; and still gayer
blouses with the separate skirts of
silk which are now so fashionable
Bright colored taffeta and taffeta in
bold checks and Scotch plaids go into
the new blouses which a year ago, dur
ing the vogue Of dim pastel tints,
would have been considered positively
loud. But these gay silk blouses, ac-
cording to this years opinion, are
cheerful and charming. Many models
have wide saShes Of the silk which are
draped twice around the waist and
tied at one side in a loose knot. These
sashes give the waistline very trim
effect and may be arranged high or
low, as the figure is short or long
wasted.

and such can be made at trifling
cost.
The barn and entire group of farm
buildings, together with the grounds
they occupy, may be made to har-
monte in general way by proper
construction, arrangement and paint
ing. The ground about the barn and
other feed and stock buildings, which
for convenience are located near the
dwelling, may, and should be, as neat
and clean as the home grounds proper.
This is both good farm management
and a mark of good taste and char
acter on the part Of the farmer.
Good fences around all the home
grounds and lots are a necessary con-
venience, and keeping them in good
repair adds to the neatness and beauty
Of the picture as whole.
A four-room cottage designed after
our own ideas, in a garden made with
our own hands, is better than a ten
room fiat designed by the greatest ar
chitect and set on top of twelve
story building in a noisy city.
One way to give children an interest
in the home grounds is to allow each
garden spot. Let them grow what
ever they wish and use it as they
please

To Locate q Storm.

AS soon as you see flash of light
ming, count the seconds before you
hear the thunder clap and In this man
ner you can easily determine how far
away the storm is. Since light travels
10000 miles a second, we may for all
practical purposes regard ourselves as
seeing the lightning the instant it
flashes. But sound travels only 1857
feet a second Multiply LOST by the
number of seconds during the interval
between the flash and the thunder and
the result is the distance between you
and the storm. AS q rule, from II to
10 miles is the greatest distance tLun-
der can be heard.

" are the neck chains in white, cream
and pink pearls, all sizes from SEED
pearls to the largest kind. These may
be had in short lengths or in long
strings, and range from 20 cents TO 50
in price, according to their length and
the quality of the pearls. The neck
chains in white, cream and pink pearls
are delicate. For the girl in search
of highly colored neckwear there are
strands of topaz, emerald or sapphires,
to the popular ashes or roses in color.
None of them are more than 81.

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro
gress OF 1915 which shows a great in
crease In the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the inn
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 81 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over / 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output The
increase Of the total value of milk and
milk products was over S427, 900. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was 4, 150, 444 lbs
and 1t brought an average price Of 23c
per h.; Of creamery butter $3.50 667
lbs. were produced which commanded
&c per Id. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726, 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as 81, 7G0,698 in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at 1925, $50
and the cream at $158, 1927, the average
price Of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per ID. and of sweet cream at 32c
per ID. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 100 1872
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1876 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631 ,005, which is an in
crease Of 10000 over kthe previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. ii, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
CardStOn, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid it's patrons rate of 271ac per
Id. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses of S5,5S4
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers SCI, III and manu-
featured 256,000 lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth of prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525,00 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts Of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement. =

England Uses Repulped Paper.

We are living in remarkable days.
The shortage of paper has resulted in
the repulping of paper that already has
been used. One of the effects Is that
certain letters which seem to have
been more deeply impressed than their
fellows survive the process and come
to light in unexpected and inconse-
quent places. We meet with an 80"
