Is STRAW
AND STR0H Is STRO
Similarity in Sound of Names Brings
Embarrassment to Friends OF William
StrOh

There is quite a difference between
William Straugh and William Stroh.
The latter is an honest young farmer
living near Blackfoot, and is a son of
Andrew Stroh of Aberdeen. The form
er is one of the men who were caught
stealing wheat at Pauline on the 9Th,
and is now serving out a sentence in
the state penitentiary
The names sound somewhat alike.
although spelled differently. The
similarity between them was the cause
OF Andrew Stroh's coming to town
Friday. One of his neighbors told
him that his son William was in iail
al American Falls. charged with steal
ing wheat He knew there was a
mistake somewhere. because he knew
William Sroh was not the stealing
kind. Arriving here he found what he
expected to find, that the man in jail
was not his son To a representative
of the Press he said:
Il thought it was possible that my
son had gotten into a fight, which any
man is liable to do whether he is
quarrelsome or not, but l knew he
had not been arrested for stealing
wheat So 1 thought it best to come
down and find out about it. | did not,
however, believe the man in jail was
my son. l hope the Press will make
| il clear to everyone that it was not
my SON"
The Press is glad to let all its read
ers know that the man who is paying
/ the penalty for his offense is not Will
liam StrOh. son of Andrew Stroh, Of
Aberdeen. formerly of Illinois. Stroh
is StrO. Straugh is Straw. Stroh is
not Straugh, and Straugh is not Stroh.
The final chapter in the misunder-
standing was written Saturday when
William Stroh came down from Black
foot, living witness to the fact that
he was not implicated. Word had
reached him at Blackfoot that he was
in Jail at American Falls for stealing
wheat. He did not believe it from
the first and the more he thought
about it the more he became convinced
that it was a false report. But to
settle all doubts he came down to
find out. and investigation convinced
him that he had never been in Jail
al American Falls or anywhere else.
The nearest he ever came to being
in Jail. he said was when County
Attorney Baird wrote him about two
years ago to appear before the coun-
ty attorney and make answer TO a
few questions concerning a charge OF
bootlegging that had been filed against
him. Mr.. Stroh was somewhat sur
prised to receive such a letter and
hastened to appear. County Attor-
p ney Baird at that time satisfied him
! self that StrOh was not Straugh. and
that Straugh was not Stroh. Since
. that time Mr. Stroh has had no COM
! plications, but hopes that the man re-
! sponsible for his embarrassment will
] find it convenient to live in some other
q state when he regains his freedom.

Above the average road show was
the comment voiced by most people

Boris Karlof as the Virginian, Herbert

tors and are we'll suited to their parts.
The play is the dramatization of owen
Wister's book. The Virginian," and
deals with a young easterner who
comes out to the west i'm the early
days In some parts the playwright
has done wonderfully with the western
scenes portrayed in the story but in
others it seems that he has lost op-
portunities to make it a real play A
good crowd was out and judging from
reports around town most people were
satisfied with the performance.

Dear Sir; In return for the kind
ness in sending the Press to us We
will try and give you an account of
our trip and the life here.
We left Fort Douglas Saturday
morning, November 8 and arrived here
Friday the 9th. We were on the first
division with the stock and as Antoine
and myself and three other men from
our company were on the stock detail
they kept us busy all the time. There
were two hundred men and two hun
dred and fifty horses and mules. We
left Salt Lake on the d. & R. G. The
first stop for feed was at Grand juno
ton, Colo. Unloaded at 1880 am.
and loaded at 6 a m.
Second stop was Pueblo, Colo,
where we left the train and went out
in the country three miles to feed the
stock Third stop was Amarillo, Tex
as. Here we made a sixteen hour stop
TO rest the stock. Here We left the
D. & R. c. and finished the trip on the
Rock Island and | would like to say
that the Rock Island is the toughest
road l ever saw and when we arrived
here we felt more like a milk shake
than soldiers.
The fourth stop was at Oklahoma
City where we made a fifteen hour
stop. In our travels we passed
through Utah. Colorado, Texas. Okla
homa and Arkansas, but never saw
anything that looked as good as Idaho
TO US.
Here in this camp there are about
$4,000 men. about half coons. They
are sending them out and more coming
in all the time. The FOrty-third regi-

WAR ECONOMY BREAD.
Patriotic Woman Makes Excellent
Bread With Saving OF 0ne-FOurth
OF Usual Amount OF Flour.


BY going to a little trouble a saw
ing can be made of one fourth the
amount of flour used in bread This
beats Hoover, with his one wheatless
day And it is good bread too, good
enough for anybody. The Press is in
debted to Mrs Frank Kluck for the
recipe, and also for some of the bread.
One of the loaves contained rs per
cent wheat flour and 25 per cent po-
tato meal. The other loaf rs per cent
rye flour and 25 per cent potato meal.
The rye bread was pronounced by
one of the best cooks in American
Falls to be the best rye bread she had
ever eaten. BY a more general use
of rye bread a saving in flour can be
made beyond the widest dreams Of
Mr. Hoover. A letter accompanied
the bread, as printed below;
Dear Mr.. Barber:
/ herewith send you two loaves of
bread, which are made by me. and
used in our home This bread, l call
war economy bread. The loaf of
white bread consists of rs per cent of
I Yellowstone flour and 25 per cent po-
tato meal, or three-fourths of flour
and one-fourth potato meal.
The dark loaf, a substantial food,
consists of IS per cent rye flour and
25 per cent potato meal. This bread
is the most nourishing and healthful
bread that can be served to mankind
and a saving of 25 per cent of flour
can be obtained if potatoes are used
instead.
Potatoes are plentiful this season
and l can see no reason why house
wives shouldn't go to a little more
trouble in making potato bread. l be-
lieve through this method We can helI
the cause of this country at the pres
ent time by building up a defense al
home. My husband had a talk with
I Mr. d. W. Davis about war bread the
other day Would you be so kind as
to invite Mr.. Davis to partake of thi:
bread, and anyone who would be in
terested in building up the home de
fense. 1 wish you would also repre-
sent it to the promoters of the Ladies
/ National Defense Council.
In using potatoes for preparing thi:
bread potatoes must be cooked OF
steamed but not entirely done, witt
peelings on; when cooled peel pota
toes and CRATE them.
When mixing sponge beat the pota
to meal in with flour. add yeast anC
salt Use no lard as lard must b,
saved. One can use rind of bacon tt
grease pans. l would like to heal
from other ladies who have signed
the pledge, how they prepare wal
bread

This is finer weather for
grubbing sagebrush or getting
wood from the hills than it
will be after snow comes. Wood
is the only fuel we can de-
pend upon, and the sooner we
realize it the less suffering will
result. There have been per-
iods of a week at a time this
fall when there has not been
a pound of coal for sale in
American Falls. Coal dealers
. say they do not know when
they will have coal; that they
are not expecting any soon,
that the mines have not prom
ised them any. In Salt Lake

shortage. The moral of this
situation is to get wood while
the getting is good.

der. To all who are fitted it :
will afford an opportunity to
enter either government or pri-

TO do with any military ser
vice of any member of the

Twelve Ounces Acid Iron MineFai
Costs About a Dollar and Goes
Farther.-Is Stronger, Too.
NATURAL IRON, HIGHLY CONCEN-
TRATED is BEST.

Instead of taking pill or dose
of some prepared remedy which per-
haps contains alcohol or blasting
cathartic you don't need, why not get
a bottle of medicinal Acid Iron Min
eral, a highly concentrated natural
iron, testing over 10 degrees specific
gravity.
A bottle of Acid Iron Mineral cost
ing a dollar contains twelve ounces
of strong, highly concentrated, natur-
al medicinal iron. So powerful,
though harmless that few drops in
a glass of water makes dose. 1t is
cheaper. and is a natural tonic one
need never be ashamed of taking.
It is put up in six and twelve ounce
bottles for individual and family use
by the Ferrodine Chemical Corp, and
their trade mark, "A-I-M' on bottle
and carton is your guarantee of
strength and quality. 1t is never sold
except in special bottles or contain
ers, ranging in size from doctors
emergency kit 2 ounce vial, to bar
rels, which are sold to medicinal
manufacturers, half and one gallon
bottles for physicians and hospitals.
Get a IL ounce bottle. Pour few
droys, say half a teaspoonful, in a
glass of water and note how quickly
it drives out poisons from the blood,
strengthens and tones you up, brings
! back the color and sparkle to cheeks
and eyes, and banishes rheumatic
complaints and that tired, weary, no

You like it this way, too and its
stronger, cheaper, and better for you.

Of the wounded 40 per cent. re-

About 20 per cent. are permanently
