HER COLLEGE OUTFIT.

When PATTY goes to college,
Where girlish brains grow strong
To swell her store of knowledge
She takes nine books along
And-after anxious thinking
That lines her brow with frowns--
A trunk of tools for prinking
And thirty gowns.

SAVE THE POTATO SACKS
Says Z. r. Bennett, Field Horticul-
turist, to Idaho Farmers.

Western potatoes are almost with
out exception marketed in sacks. Be-
for the war these sacks were but a
small item in potato growing At
present the container is one of the
big factors in the price of a sack of
potatoes. This years Idaho's potato
crop will require in the neighborhood
of three million sacks. What be-
comes of the sacks after the potatoes
are consumed is question of much
economic interest. Previous to the
world war western grain was shipped
to Europe in sacks. The handling
Of these sacks usually stretched them
to such an extent that they were of
no further value as grain retainers.
but they were collected, baled and re-
turned to this country by the ship
load under the name of Liverpool
returns" or centals. These sacks, the
past few years, could be purchased
for potato growers at four, five or
six cents each When the war de-
veloped thousands of miles of trench
es, rife pits and underground forti-
fications, these sacks were diverted
to more immediate use. Untold mil
liops of them have been filled with
soil and piled in rows IN front of the
trenches. 1t has been reported that
silks and even oriental rugs have been
used on the Turkish front in trench
construction.
The result of this diversion of the
sacks to other purposes is that the
potato sacks have steadily advanced
in price until the price is now becom-
ing practically prohibitive.
What do you do with empty sacks?
The larger part of the potato crop
is delivered to the western consumer

ELECTRFICATION EXTENDED

The Chicago, Milwaukee and St.

the electrification of the Cascade
Mountain section running from Othel-

for conserving the nations fuel re-
sources is the reason for the speed

railroad will use power generated by
the waterfalls of the Cascade noun

possible, contract for the freight To-
connective and the power Transforming
apparatus were given the General
Electric company. This section of the
railroad is 211 miles long and is in
addition to the 44O miles already op-
Grated electrically over the Bitter

tween Avery, Idaho, and Harlowton.

WHAT lid YOU MAKE IN 1917?
The Income Tax Man Will Ask for
Your Income Soon

Do you know how much your in
come has been for 1917? If not,
figure it up before March 4, 1918,
because by then it must be reported
in full for the income tax man. Ac-
cording to a government bulletin:
Every unmarried person having a
net income of $10oc or more, and
every married person having a net
income of $4,000 or more in 1917,
must report before March l, 1918, to
the Collector of Internal Revenue for
the district in which the taxpayer
resides. 1t is necessary that you find
out whether you have an income that
will make you taxable under the new
law. So you better yet out your pen
ell and do some figurin..
THE law defines income as profit,
gain, wages salary, commissions,
money or it's equivalent from profess
sions, vocations, business, commerce,

perty, real or peronal, and interest
from investment except interest from

In Porto Rico, which formerly i'm

this product is now being exported.
Part OF the war emergency work
OF the Department of Agriculture has
been to assist the territories to be-

land of this country for their supply
of food. The Alaska stations have
greatly increased the areas sown to

terially increased its production of

CAN FALL BACK UPON FISH
Game Warden Says Idaho Prepared
to Market IL the War Pinches

Boise.-If meat becomes a luxury
In Idaho the state is prepared to
catch white fish and sell them to the
public, Leroy Jones, state game war
den, said last week.
The game warden thinks his de-
partment could place the fish on sale
at 10 cents a pound.
Several permits have been issued
OF late by the game department to in
dividuals, who are operating on Bear
lake and Lake Pond Oreille, but
none has been granted to persons
wishing to seine and sell fish out of
Kootenai lake.
Under State Direction
II the war makes It necessary for
the people in Idaho to eat more fish
the SEEMING would have to be done
under the direction or the game de-
partment," said the game warden.
THAT would prevent waste and keep
the fishing under our control.
Idaho abounds with fish and there
is no reason why any one should go
hungry"
According to the game warden,
large quantities of white fish could
be taken from the Boise and Payette
rivers and the North Fork of the
Snake, while fresh water herring
could be taken from the Snake. The
fish could be placed on sale in nearly
every town in the Snake river valley.

cruise to the beach beneath the cliffs
crowned by her summer home.
Ehecting a landing there as secret

a delicious shiver of daring sought the
private flight of steps that zigzagged

SIXTH EPISODE
"AIiaS Nemesis"
Rendezvous at Noon.


Superbly mounted though he was,
the horseman rode with slack rein and
specious air of aimlessneSs. Suffered
to select its own pace, his cob ambled
ind0lently through the avenues of New
port-town and out into the basking
countryside choosing a way along the
eastern shore, often within sight of
the Sakonnet river.
For the beauties of nature in general
Capt. Donald Parr cared no snap of his
fingers; his thoughts, like his heart,
were exclusively conferred upon one
single beatty. His purpoSeless ges-
ture. his Semhldnce Of Indifference to
the fight of time, were alike mislead-
ing; he had a NEST particular goal in
mind. and secretly was in the mad
dest haste to arrive at it. Lastly, his
interest in the charming views was
positively nil; but his interest in max
ing certain that none followed him was
acute.

it was, though well persuaded that

aside into an almost imperceptibly

Here Captain Parr pulled up. dis
mounted, tethered his horse to sap

idly toward the river, with marked
manner of eager anxiety.
A turn in the path, rounding a thick

secretary Of the navy to the house

months before Europe went to war.

California Next Year.

Former Governor Gillette of Call
fornia tells an interviewer there is no
doubt the Republicans will carry that
state in the gubernatorial election next
year.
These are dangerous times for
prophecy about anything, Who may
tell what day may bring forth? And
year is an age.
Then, how shall California be
reckoned politically? Last years re-
suit was poser for everybody. Be-
fore election day the Republicans were
certain of the state. Mr.. Hughes
both while a visitor, and later when
he had returned home-was assured
he could not lose it.
But lose 1t he did, even with the
tide running mountain high for local
Republican candidates. And by losing
it he lost the presidency.
Factionism, reused to the point on
taking it out" of the party at the
polls, dies slowly. 1t cost the Repub-
licans the presidency in 1884. Had
they stood together in New York that
year Mr.. Blaine would have been elect
ed. Had they stood together through
out the country in 1912 Mr.. Taft would
have been reelected, and last year In
California, Mr.. Hughes elected.
Next year the congressional contests
will assist the local contest in waking
up the golden state. If the Repub-
lican factions can get together, that
will be their chance. And if they do
get together then, and win, their pros
poets for carrying the state two years
later in the presidential contest will
be bright.
