DONTs FOR KNITTERs OF SOCKS

Don't cast on tightly. An other
wise we'll knitted sock may become
useless by this tight cord at the top.
Don't knot your wooL=Join<=r
BY splicing the ends or leave two
or three inches of each end and
darn back carefully.
Don't make heel with a seam on
the sole.
Remember man may not have
a chance to change his socks for
many days, and a lump or knot
brings blister. If the blister breaks
blood poisoning may set in and re-
suit in the loss of a foot or even
life. We cannot afford to lose
our men thru negligence or ignor-
ance.
Don't use black, dark or bright
colors. There is again danger of
poisoning.
Don't use needles too fine for the
wool The knitting should be elias
tic; if too tightly knitted the sock
becomes hard and boardlike in use
Don't make foot less than eleven
inches long.
Make all measurements by ruler
with sock fiat on table. Do not
stretch SOCK
Socks should be laundered as fol-
lows:
Wash socks in warm water with
ivory soap, then rinse in water the
same temperature. Squeeze, but dc
not wiring. Pour over boiling water
and let stand until cool. Hang until
nearly dry and press with warm (not
hot) iron. Do not press ribbing.

SALES OF SUGAR ARE CUT DOWN

In future housewives will be re-.
stricted to the purchase of twenty
five pounds of sugar at any one.
time. This order, made by State
Food Administrator R. F. Bicknell
Tuesday to the local merchants, will
not prove such a hardship on the
housewives as it might have few
weeks ago, before the canning and
preserving season was over.
All the retail dispensers of sugar
thruout the state were notified Tues
day by Mr.. Bicknell that until fur
Their notice their sales of sugar must
be limited to twenty-five pounds to
any one customer. The dealers have
also been instructed to impress upon
their customers the necessity of be-
ing exceedingly careful in the use
of sugar.
Mr.. Bicknell believes the strin-
gency in the sugar supply will be
relieved with sixty or ninty days.
Idahos administrator explained
Tuesday that he made the restric-
ton as to sugar less onerous than
is the case in most states because of
the peculiar conditions in Idaho.
Here, he explained, many farmers
come into town only once week
and make their purchases for that
period, and in fairness they should,
if at all possible, be enabled to buy
enough to last them between trips.
Unless the retail dealers operate
in accordance with the administra-
tors order. he will be able to cut
off their supplies thru the whole
salers, whose sugar sales will all be
under government license beginning
November 1. Mr.. Bicknell said he
believed that all those handling the
product would be sufficiently public
spirited to comply with his necessary
request

LAND OFFICE DECISIONS

On October 81 the register and re-
eral contests that had been pending
before them.
In the case of United States VS..
John Whitehead, the government at
tempted to cancel the desert entry
of Whitehead, in township south
range 40 east, on the ground that he
had not irrigated the land according
to law. The register and receiver
decided that Whitehead had sub
stantially reclaimed the land and
had done all that could be required
of him.
When township 1 south range SO
east was opened to entry, William
Harris, Emily ]. King and Sarah E.
Williams filed conflicting applica-
tons each of them alleging prior
settlement. The local office has de-
cided that Williams and Mrs. King
get all they claimed but that Mrs.
Williams get but part of what she
wanted
In the case of David Cousins VS..
Charles V. Decker, also arising out
Of conflicting settlement claims !,
Decker loses the N.E.A section 7,
township 4 south, range 40 east tS
Cousins
In the case of George T. Orvis vs.
Earl E. Brewer, in which Orvis
claimed that Brewer had not lived
on his homestead entry, which is
located in township 2 north range
43 east, the local office decided in
favor of Brewer. The evidence was
so conflicting that it was difficult to
decide one way or the other, but il
was decided to give the entryman
the benefit of the doubt.
The most interesting case was one
involving the right of the Wood
Love Stock company to lands in~the
norrnern part of the state not clearly
described. That company filed on
unsurve lands in 1900, but when
the land'Was surveyed and opened tC
entry it was found that several set
tiers were on the lands claimed by
the company. After hearing all the
evidence, the register and receiver
decided in favor of the company in
two. cases and against the company
IN three cases.

SOME BIG PEARS AND SPUDS

G. e. Jackson, who lives in the
west end of Blackfoot, presented this
office with five pears and a potato
taken from a bumper crop of large
ones. The pears measured from ten

and the five weighed four pounds.
The potato measured nine inches
long and weighed six pounds. MT:
Jackson said he had a good crop OF

EAT, BUT DON'T WASTE

Eat more potatoes and save wheat
does not mean to waste potatoes.
Many housewives who would be in
dignant if accused of wasting pota-
toes are actually throwing away
daily much of the valuable mineral
and protein content of the potato
because they pare the potato too
deep. Some very valuable sugges-
lions on the preparation of potatoes
for the table in order to avoid waste
have been prepared by the extension

LOST ELEVEN HORSES

T. H Hodson lost eleven horses
last season and this from spinal men
nights, according to the report of
State Veterinarian DR.. M X. Whit
ney, who has been investigating the
matter.
Whitney stated that the
trouble was caused by the horses
eating forage that had heated and
formed a fungus. like hay stacked
too damp, or hay that lay in a damp
place and nodded The molding or
fermentation affords something that
appears to the taste and animals eat
it in preference to hay properly
cured.

Fell and Then Made the Boys
Study

The following from the Marsh
vile Home explains itself:
1T requires no little effort to
keep history straight. Here
comes Carl Tucker, of the Page
land Journal, to enquire of
Friend Green whether or not he
fell asleep and tumbled out of
his chair during school hours
one day when he was teaching
at Union school back in the
olden days, as has been reported
from time to time" Now, if
Carl will promise not to make
too many demands upon me to
go into explanations of little
things that happened back in
former days, l will set this report
straight by saying that l "fell
awake" instead OF falling asleep.
l was awake when the chair be-
came overbalanced and very
much more awake when the
chair and myself hit the floor.
After all it was turned to good
account. The students were
tired and needed just such an
in voluntary entertainment as
this incident gave them, and
Lester and Henry Parker, the
SNYDER boys and the other stu.
dents came up with better les.
sons next day."

With half the world at war
and the other half about ready
to enter the demand for South
ern farmers to grow somthing to
eat comes as 5ugle blast. For
the farmer to grow all cotton
and little or no food means that
he deliberately chooses to grow
cotton and let human beings
perish for lack of bread

There are still a flew farmers
who pile and burn the corn
stalks en- their land. Then
they haul high-priced fertilizer
to do what the stalks would do
for the land. Why burn up
plant food and then buy other
plant food to take its place?

Removing Ugly Hairs
Entirely New Method
actually Removes the Roots)

, The question is often asked whether
a really permanently efficacious hair
remover exists, and the answer has
heretofore been very unsatisfactory.
Fortunately, there's new and remark
able process that really removes every
hair entire, root and all! 1t is differ
ent from and far better than electric
ity, depilatories. the razor, or any
other method. If you'd like to try it,
just get stick of phelactine from
your druggist, follow the simple in
structions-and with your own eyes
see the hair roots come out! Roots
are removed instantly, easily, leaving
the skin perfectly smooth and hair
free
Phelactine is non-irritating, odorless,
and so harmless you could eat it! 1t is
so reliable that every stick is sold on
a satisfaction-or.mo basis.
