found the answer. The question
is: "What can I do, now that
my country is at war, to help? What
shall be my part and how shall I play
it with credit to myself and to the ad-
vantage of my community" Probably
the answer lies closer home than most
of us imagine. The first thing we
women must learn is-to not be terri
fed. Some Of those who are dear to
us-dearer than life, perhaps-must
follow the flag. We must school our
selves to be willing to see them 60 and
acquit ourselves as beseems first-class
women. There Is no use shaking hands
with trouble until we meet it, but If
we must meet it, let us meet 1t bravely.
The women of France have made
glorious record for themselves and we
shall not be less courageous.
We can conserve food and clothing
against the time of need. Every house
wife who saves foodstuffs and elimi-
mates all waste in her own household
is doing a patriotic duty, and there
fore it is nothing less than ill-bred to
tolerate waste at this time-Or any
other time, for that matter. In rural
communities women can preserve and
can and dry more food for use next
winter than ever before, and something
in excess of the needs Of their own
families. They may be called upon to
help those less fortunate than them
selves in the future, those who are
powerless to make provision in this
way. In some communities house
wives have already banded together to
can and preserve fruits and vegetables
to be put on sale when there is mar
ket for them. This is in excess of the
food each provides for the future use
of her family.
Clothing is also to be conserved, es-
pecially that made Of wool. This
doesn't mean that it is to be boarded,
but that use is to be found for 1t
when the times comes, and that sub
stantial garments are not be thrown
away simply because fashions change.
Now is the time to be frugal-in order
to be generous. Who knows what the
fate of France would be but for the
frugality of It's people?
Then there is a great work to be
done for the American Red Cross.
Money must be raised, hospital sup
plies provided, bandages made-and
women must do this work. They are

Destroyed by Fire

A field of eharred ruins along the
shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene-Fri-

vandalism.
This is the conclusion drawn Sat

wiped the town off the map. made
$50 OF its thousand inhabitants
homeless and destroyed property
estimated at more than 100000.
Harrison. the center of the Occur
d'Alene timber district, has figured
prominently in the l. w. w. labor
troubles which during the last few
weeks have shut down practically
every logging camp and many mills
through eastern Washington and
the Idaho Panhandle.
The fire, the origin of which has
not been definitely determined, start
ed in the planning mill of the Grant
Lumber company on the shore of
the lake. spread through the busi-
ness section and into the residence
districts. Practically every building
in the town was destroyed.
Spokane and Coeur d'Alene hur-
ried relief to the victims of the
fire, preventing a food famine. A
special train, loaded with food and
bedding, arrived at Harrison from
Spokane.
Authorities are expected 70 con-
duct a thorough investigation of the
fire in an effort to determine its
origin.

DIR. II. H. Holyfield, of Simp-
son county, an authority on the
life of the boil weeviI, says that
the weevil germinates in the seed.
The average life when he has food
and water is As days and without
food and water nine days. He
shows through a diagram on the
blackboard that the reason the
bottom crop of cotton is gotten by
the farmer is that the boil weevil
ends his cycle of life lust as it be-
gins 10 fruit and the crop is made
before the eggs laid by the weevil
have been hatched. The second
batch of weevils tacklc.the middle
crop, which generally proves a
loss to the farmer, and in the As
days passes out, and in those sec
tions further south a top crop is
made and developed without the
weevil. Fortytwo per ceut of the
infection comes from the small
bolls left hanging on the stalks
and knocked down to be plowed
under next spring to hatch a new
crop. He contends that to destroy
the stalk and remnant of last year, s
crop left in the field and to select
the seed for planting the new crop
will do more good toward elimi-
mating the weevil than anything
else. The doctor proposes to screen
an acre of ground this spring and
to plant one-half of it his way and
the other half of it with seed
not selected, and he promises thai
on his half of the acre no weevil
will be found The demonstra
ton will be public, Newark 1aur
nal.
