AS to Separate Blouses

The waists to go with the separate
skirts and suits are, as rule, very sim
pie. White and pale flesh colored
blouses are still favored, though the
fashion of having the blouse match in
color the suit with which it is to be
worn is again coming in. For this rea-
son there are some dark blouses seen.
Satin and Georgette are combined for
waists and form part of the costume.
The sleeves and upper part of the waist
are generally of Georgette, and the
lower part which comes nearest the
skirt is of satin. Striped satin is also
used for waists combined with Georg-
cite or chiffon. A charming model
for dressy wear was made of blue and
white striped satin with white Georg-
cite. 1t had large cape-collar.

IDAHO APPLIES FOR
FEDERAL ROAD CASH

Ogden, Sept. 30.-The official APP
plication of the Idaho State Highway
Commission for federal funds in the con
struction Of state and county roads
within or partly within national forests
Of that state, was filed with officials of
the intermountain district here today
by E. NJ Booth, state highway engin-
eer.
The system Of road projects mapped
out by the Idaho commission contem-
plates the construction of 3O3 miles of
roadway within period of three years
at an estimated cost of 81 ,062 800. In
all there are eleven projects.
Under the new federal aid law re-
Gently enacted by congress, Idaho is en-
titled to an appropriation Of $10s,OoO,
the third largest amount of any state
in the union.
In addition to this the state will re-
ceive about 100000 of federal funds
for the improvement Of postal roads,
and the usual 10 per cent Of the total
receipts of national forests within the
state. Of the total amount which it is
proposed to expend, $617 800 will be
supplied by private subscription, state
and county appropriations.
The balance of $445,000 will be re-
ceived from the federal government.
One of the principal Idaho projects of
special interest to the people of Utah,
according to Mr.. Booth, is the improve
ment of fifty miles of the Yellowstone
Park-Salt Lake road near the park
boundary and lying within the Targhee
national forest. This road has already
been surveyed and active construction
work will be started next spring. The
projects are well distributed as between
southern and northern Idaho.

BEET SEED INDUSTRY

Men representing the federal agri-
cultural department have been here
for the past few weeks making soil
and other tests for the purpose Of de-
termining the value of this location
as the center of the beet seed growing
industry Of the United States.
The Idaho Falls factory, under the
supervision of Heber Austin, agricul-
turist for the factory, has been max
ing number Of tests tho past few
years with the result that superior
quality Of seed has been produced. The
United States Beet Sugar Seed Com
pany, capitalized at 100000, opened
offices here some time ago and is build
ing warehouses. 1t is the purpose of
the government to open an office in
the Federal building for the purpose
of further conducting experiments
along beet seed growth. From all in.
dications, and according to the expressed
opinion of the experts, Idaho Falls is
to become the center of sugar beet
growing in the United States.-Idaho

OF REPUBLICAN CAN
DIDATES FOR COMMISSIONER.

All candidates for State or National
offices go before the people on some
definite pledge or platform. Usually,
in County affairs, where the voters are
more vitality interested in the conduct
of the office, their candidates seek
their suffrages without any announced
or stated purpose or program. such
procedure leaves the newly elected
officer, and the citizens generally in
state Of uncertainty. The voters have
right to know what to expect OF the
men for whom they vote. Therefore,
.as candidates on the Republican ticket,
for the positions of County Commits
ssioners Of Bingham County, we feel it
our duty to the electors of Bingham
County, to make our positions plain
and clear on several Of the most i'm
portant questions that affect the citi-
:zens of our county at this time, and
have adopted the following as our plan
for the conduct Of the county business,
If we should be elected next November,
towit:
l. We stand firmly for good and
permanent county roads, and if it is
the. wish of the majority Of the voters,
to be expressed at All election to be
called for that purpose, and so tibet the
people may be relieved of the burden
/. Of increased taxes to get such good
roads, to issue bonds to cover the neces-
sary expenses in building the same.
We pledge ourselves to call such an
election that the people may express
their wishes in that regard.
2. We pledge ourselves to strict
economy in the expenditure Of public
money, consistent with good govern
ment and the improvements necessary
for the advancement of the interests
of rapidly growing country.
3. We pledge ourselves, if elected,
to hold Board meetings monthly, in
stead of quarterly, for the purpose of
allowing bills, and transacting any 9th.
~er business that may come before the
board, so that we can thereby better
serve the people generally.
4. We promise our best efforts to get
Federal and State aid in the line of
road improvements, thus getting our
main highways under system Of state
control, so that the maintenance ex-
penses will be minimized upon the tax
payers of this county.
5. We pledge ourselves to appoint
efficient persons to all positions where
we have the appointive power, having
in mind solely our plain duty to oul
constituents, and the welfare of the
county.
6. We further and finally pledge
ourselves to use our best efforts, singly
and collectively, to make the coming
administration clean, efficient, bus
inesslike administration, and a success
in every way possible.

will be little regret, too, for there is a
certain dignity and stateliness about
the costume Of this period that makes
it favorite among many women.
In the accompanying sketch is a
dress which shows the Directoire influ-
ence very markedly. This type of
dress strikes the eye at once as being
very distinct from other styles. At
first glance one might easily mistake
it for coat on account of the large
collar rising high at the back of the
neck, the equally large revers and the
double breasted effect of the short, fit
ted body. At this season Of the year
dress in coat effect is especially de-
sirable, and one of this type has many
charms. The long tunic parted in front
and attached to the rather short-waist-
ed body can be worn to advantage by
the woman of average proportions.
TUNES are quite fashionable this sea-
son and there is large variety of diff
ferent styles. A novelty seen very re-

IN THE PROBATE COURT OF BING-
HAM COUNTY, STATE OF IDAHO.

In the Matter of the Estate of William
Kahn, deceased.
Notice for Hearing on Petition for
Probate Of Foreign Will and for Is
suance Of Letters Testamentary
Thereon.
Notice is hereby given that a petit
ton for the probate of the will of
William Kahn, deceased, and for the is
suance of letters testamentary thereon
to Fannie r. Kahn, has been filed in
this court, and that Monday, the 23rd
day of October, 1916, at 10 o'clock in
the forenoon of said day, at the court
room of said court in the City Of Black
foot, Bingham County, Idaho, have
been set as the time and place for the
hearing of said petition, when and
where any person interested may appear
and contest the same and show cause if
any they have why said petition should
not be granted. Said will is a foreign
will heretofore admitted to probate in
the State of New York.
Dated this 3rd day of October, 1916.

JUDGE DOUD DECLARES HIMSELF

The other day Judge Doud emphat-
ically informed Sheriff Simmons that
his court in the future would not be
used as collection office to be con-
Quoted at the expense Of the tax-pay-
oers. The official mandate was occa-
stoned by suit brought by the Andrus ,
of Firth against an alleged debtor.
Judge Doud sent the sheriff to serve
the necessary papers and in doing so
he suffered loss not only of time and
gas, but punctured two tires. The case
was finally compromised out of court
and the boys wanted the county to pay
the costs which the judge objected to.
Hereafter anyone bringing suit in the
probate court will have to pay the costs
which often in the past have been i'm
posed on disinterested taxpayers.

Is the Directoire Influence
To Be Felt Again?
From Paris Come Rumors to This Effect and
Now and Again One Sees
Proof Of 1t.
NEW BLoUsEs OF SATIN AND GEoRGETTE

We have lately been hearing rumors
from Paris that the period Of the Di-
rectoire is likely to make itself felt
again in our dress. Although the ru-
mors have not been confirmed from
all sides, here and there costume ap-
pears highly suggestive of this peri
cd, so it will hardly be looking too far
ahead to give it some consideration.
Period styles keep recurring every little
while, and for some time we have had
no strain Of the Directoire in our dress,
so there will be little wonder if it
should return very soon. And there

reaching to the hem Of the skirt, but it
was placed only across the back Of the
skirt, barely starting from the hips.
The dress in question was made of
very fine serge in a matching shade.
Collars, high in the back and open in
front, on the order of the one in the IL
lustration, are very good style. Even
in separate collars to be worn with
dresses and suits, the style that goes
well up in the back and almost touches
the hair is one Of the very newest from
Paris. Most collars continue to be very
large, though some small ones are seen.
A Skirt of Many Cores
In the matter of separate skirts
there is striking novelty which has
made a strong appeal to many women
This is the fourteen-gored skirt, OF
which an illustration is shown here
Not even the number of cores has de-
tered them from taking fancy to
this skirt, the novelty and the effect
iveness of it having far outweighed
the task Of making it. The most eff
fective developments are in two mate
rails, making the alternate cores of the
different materials. Needless to say, If
this lies the chief beauty Of the skirt
One may use the same material in two
contrasting colors or contrasting ma
terials in the same shade. These skirt

Except in the northern Dobrudja, where the troops of the central powers continue to drive the Russians an1 Rumanians toward Bessarabia, there has been little important activity on the battle fronts of Europe
 The Russian troops in the Dobrudja ia, Petrograd announces, were forced to retire northwards under heavy at tacks from numerically superior hos
 tile forces. Berlin states that the Teutonic army in the Dobrudja con- tinues to advance successfully and an- nounces the capture of 300 Russian soldiers. East of Lake Babadagh, a Russian regiment, Petrograd records, drove @ force of Bulgarians into Lake 1bolata. A great many Bulgarians were drowned and 115 were made pris- oner
 at various points on tn eeastern front. Berlin reports increased activity, espe- c1ally in the Somme sector and on the east bank of the Mouse in the Verdun | region, the scene of the latest French advance.
 In Galicia, near the Zlochoff- -Tarno- | pol railroad, there has been a spirited engagement. Berlin reports the break | ing of the advanced Russian line l northwest of Zalostse, while Petrograd | says the Austro- o-Germans were con- pelled to retire after occupying some | trenches. Some fighting has taken place in the Trolus valley on the Mo-
 davian frontier and along the Bystrit-
 ga river in the Carpathians. | Fl Arish, 90 miles east of the Suez | canal in Egypt, has been captured by
