to see with her the sacrifices of the
soldiers and civilians and the won
derful part played in the great world
struggle by the angels of mercy from
the Red Cross hospitals.
In her little personal stories of the
soldiers she tells how one will treas
ure a wretched, dirty kitten, another
horse which he nurses back to
health and over which he weeps when
it is sent back to the battle line; of
how good music appeals to them, and
how they plant little flower gardens
in nearly every camp.
She tells of a concert her COM
pany was giving one night when the
order came to the audience in the
camp, men of the Coldstream Guard,
fall in" How the men went out from
the audience of soldiers. into the dark,
cold, wet night to almost certain
death and how they said to the enter
tainers as they left: Don't stop the
concert. please. Go on. It's just a
few lads Of us doing our duty. Keep
on" How the company kept on with
wet eyes and full hearts for they were
not used to this simple doing of duty
as the boys were. Miss Ward spent
weary months of almost unbelievable
hardships-thOugh she says little of
her own hardships-and knows just
how hard the keeping on is. She
knows how hard it is for the men at
the front to bear the monotony of
their lives; she knows of the waiting,
watching and suffering at home as
we'll as abroad and her message to all
is keep on working, sewing, knitting,
writing, praying, living worthily till
the great crisis be past"
Miss Ward tells of soldiers injured
almost beyond all hope and of the
skillful surgery and the tender care
of the nurses that bring new life and
restore limbs, eyesight, and even faces
/ that have been almost blown to bits
by the terrible shrapnel fire. She
tells also of the work of the blue
cross for the horses that are injured
| in battle.

The above is a fair sample of the
average comment made regarding the
price of wheat. though the particu-
lar observations are noted for their
variety. Some people think that the
minimum amount suggested. S1.S4 at
Chicago, should have been adopted,
but these are not wheat sellers. Others
think that the maximum amount sug-
gested, $3.50, was rather too low. but
these are generally folks whose in
terest as sellers is greater than their
interest sa ultimate consumers" Of
flour. AS a whole however. the SEN
timents of both producers and con
sumers seem to be that of satisfactory
The whole subject resulted in arous-
ing deep interest on the part of every
one, an interest which grew as day
after day elapsed without any agree
ment on the part of the committee be-
ing announced. Many telephoned to
The Times daily. Shortly after 9
o'clock Friday morning a telegram ar
rived at this office telling what had
been done, and soon people began to
gather to look at the bulletin board.

familiar to every person living in

mary supplies a few suggestions as to
how water may best be removed from
a road bed:

crowned so as to shed water off to the
side bitches as rapidly as 1t falls on
the road

should be provided along the sides so
that the water may be conducted to
some point where it may be turned
off from the road. The accompanying
figures show typical cross sections for
earth side bitches. The cross section
shown in the first figure is suitable for
steep grades where the depth of water
in the side bitches must be kept low in
order to prevent washing of the soil.
The second figure shows a modified
section which gives a greater capacity
for the same widths of ditch than the
cross section shown in the preceding
figure, but which can be employed only
on comparatively fiat grades if wash
ing is to be prevented. Figure 3 shows

section Of road surface depends on
two opposed factors:
(a) 1t is desirable to get water away
from the surface as quickly as prac-
ticable, so as to prevent the surface
material from being softened by sat
uration or washed by water collecting
in, and flowing along, ruts.
o. It is desirable to keep the cross
section of the road as fiat as is con
sistent with good drainage, because
traffic distributes itself over a fiat road
surface much better than over one
that Is heavily crowned and an even
distribution of traffic makes toward
uniform wear and comparatively light
maintenance. There is also less danger
of skidding on a road Of fiat cross sec
ton than where the surface is crowned
In general, the amount of crown

(Reprinted From The Sunday Times)
Much interest is being manifested
in many communities in southern Ida
no over the coming of Ada l.. Ward,
the noted English war lecturer, next
week. Miss Ward is to give her won
derful lecture, Stories From the
Trenches" in the Lavering theater on
Friday evening of next week. She APP
pears also in Kimberly, Burnley, Oak
ley and Shoshone.
Miss Ward finishes her chautauqua
work on September 4. in Wyoming,
and after filling some five or six
special engagements in southern Ida
no, she expects to return to Europe to
take up her work with the soldiers in
the trenches and war hospitals, among
whom, now are thousands and thous-
ands of American soldiers.
When Ada Ward was chosen as a
member of an entertaining party sent
from England to the trenches and war
hospitals in Europe, she expected to
make the one tour only. But when
she had returned to England insistent
calls were sent from France back to
England, saying please send Ada
Ward back to us" So she returned
and spent two years among them.

Last Friday night about IL o'clock,
as Mr. w. c. Gloystein, of Gloystein
Brothers. this city, was within less
than two miles from the city, return
ing on his motorcycle from a business
trip. the sudden flash into his eyes
from the headlights of an approach
ing auto so blinded him that his ma
chine swerved into a deep rut and he
was thrown violently to the ground
Unfortunately almost the entire force
of the fall was received by his left
elbow, resulting in a compound, COM
minuted fracture of that arm about
midway between the elbow and shout
der. Strange as it may seem, he arose
without aid and righted the machine
before discovering that he was seri-
ously hurt. The auto he was meeting
stopped at once and its driver acted
with all possible kindness and con-
sideration. bringing Mr.. Gloystein at
once to his home in this city.
DR.. Alexander was summoned and
mad the case in hand within a half
hour after the injury. Examination
showed that the sharp end of the
bone above the break had not only
penetrated the flesh. and all the
clothing, but had struck the ground
with such force that the tip was
again broken and hanging by shred.
An X-ray of the injury has been TAX
en-; and while the arm has not been
set, the patient was last night resting
we'll with the conditions all favorable.
This accident, and the repeated ex-
perience of all who ride much after
night, enforces the need of using
dinners" on auto lights whenever
cars meet. All who have them should
not fail to use them, especially on the
cars carrying the new and very bril-
liant lights; and the legislature could
easily pass-and doubtless will pass
very many worse laws than one
making their use compulsory.

line of farm tile laid to proper grade

most satisfactory way of securing ade-
quate undertakings. Either four-inch
or six-inch tile is employed for this
purpose.
8. Culverts or bridges should be con-
structed wherever it is necessary to
carry water across the road.
6. Avoid turning water from one in
tersecting road down the side bitches
of another. Also avoid draining ada
cent fields into the side bitches.
Crown.
The proper crown to give the cross

sand. In such cases it is preferable
that the cross section be fiat so as to
retain as much moisture as practicable,
though in cold climates a slight crown
may be desirable in order to afford
drainage when the surface is frozen.
But sand roads must be surfaced with
some other material if they are to be
improved to any extent, and in that
case the surface of the travelled way
would have to be crowned as usual.
Also, where curves occur in the align
ment it is desirable to "bank" or ele-
vate the outer edge of the roadway and
thus make the crown one way.

SUFFICIENT FOOD FOR BEES
Every Colony Should Have at Least
Thirty Pounds of Honey-White
Glover Is Favored.

Sufficient food is essential. Every
colony should have at least 30 pounds
of honey. White clover honey is best,
although any white honey is good.
Dark honey should be used sparingly !;
and honeydew honey not at all, on &C
count of the waste it contains. Bees
never deposit fecal waste in the hive,
but retain it In the large intestine,
where it causes dysentery unless soon
passed out. In attempting to rid them
selves of this, the bees fly forth on
cold days, become chilled and never
find their way back.

level stretches of road because the
tendency for water to wash away the
surface by collecting in and flowing
along ruts depends largely upon the
steepness of the grade. Also the care
with which a road is to be maintained
may have an important influence on
the amount of crown that should be
given to the surface. 1t is evident that
road surface maintained in q smooth
uniform condition will shed water Off
to the side bitches with much less
crown than would be required where
ruts are allowed to form.
Instead of browning the road sur
face sufficiently to prevent water from
flowing along the travelled way and

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shsmpoos
contain too much alkali, which Is very
Injurious, as It dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil, for 1t Is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IL in, about q teaspoonful 10
All that IL required. 1t makes an
