Gets Bootlegger and Booze

Chas Lindstrom, a deputy sheriff at the Saginaw Camps, as we'll as camp boss, recently arrested a bootlegger and car load of booze that arrived at the camp. The bootlegger drove in with his car and pro- ceeded to loaf about. MT. Lindstrom suspected his pur- pose and voiced his opinion to the liquor peddler, upon which he was invited to search the car. He did so and found no booze. Later, the man left enroute for camp farther around the mountain. MT. Lindstom followed soon after in his car, and upon overriding his man found that the car was full of liquor. He placed the bootlegger under arrest and took him together with the booze, to Flagstaff, the follow ing day.

Will Push Planting

F. A. Boulin stopped in Will Hams Wednesday afternoon on his way from Kingman, where he is erecting a church building to his ranch in Red Lake Val ley. MT. Boulin has his ground all plowed and in good shape for seeding, and proposes to rush the planting during the next week. He feels that his crops will be in soon enough to catch all the warm weather and that they will have ample time to mature properly. He estimates that there is moisture enough in his soil now, to last uneil the middle of July, if properly conserved. He is quite enthusiastic over the pros pect for crops here this season, and states that he believes that farming is going to become one of the chief industries in this section in the course of the next few years.

 MORE SEED STUDS?

If you do, apply at Rabbits. MT. Spellmire announces that they still have about 150 sacks of the Idaho Rural Spuds-the seed recommended by the Ag- ricultural Department at the best for this locality-on hand.

New Recruits to Farmerettes

Miss Bull and Miss Watson are the latest recruits to the corps of Williams Lady Farm CTS. They have engaged three acres on the Benham ranch, which they will plant chiefly to spuds. They are expected to profit from the knowledge se- cured by the earlier recruits and to execute their planting with expert precision, even to treating the seed with corn meal to make the crop mealy.
 Planting three acres of spuds is not play, as Misses Carlson and Buggeln can testify, and the grit of the ladies unused to this kind of work, who will put thru such a project with their own hands is worthy of com mendation. When they have planted cultivated and harvest ed their crop, they may be said to have done their bit.

SAVE GOAL AND HELP
 ID WIN THE WAR

ence has been received from the National Coal Board of the National Council of Defense.
 Washington, May -26-The pound of coal that you, MT. Git izen, may save today may con- tain the last gasp of. energy ne- cessary to drive a shell home true to the enemy, and spell victory instead of defeat.
 The pounds of coal many MT. Citizens may save today may forge the shells that may de- eide the war in favor of worlds democracy.
 The pounds of coal many cit izens may save on many days may hasten the end of the war and save thousands of lives.
 This is the statement of Fran cis s. Peabody, Chairman of the National Coal Board, Council of National Defense, in an ap- peal issued today to all of the people of the country in an eff fort to have them conserve in the use of fuel so that there may at all times be a sufficient quantity available for battle ships, the munition factories. the railroads, and all enterpris- es that are making materials for use in the war.
 Tt is not that we do not have the coal in thiscountry," contin- ued MT. Peabody. Perhaps no country in the world is so blessed with such a supera- bundance, but it is the question of digging it out of the ground fast enough and having prompt deliveries by the railroads at the places where it is most needed.
 "The less coal the household CT uses, therefore, the more there will be for the essential industries, the men of which in this industrial war are all sol diers as much as the man who wears a uniform and marches at the front.
 "But the householder asks where he comes in. In the first place, in many homes through out the country he can maintain a less number of fires. He can even shorten the number of hours they are in operation. He can see that gas stoves are turned off as soon as the cook ing is over. When the weather is cool, he can carry lower tenn peratures in his home than he has been accustomed to, unless there is illness in the house. A temperature of sixty degrees instead of seventy is sufficient. Then he can operate fewer gas and electric lights and see that they are turned off when not needed or when he leaves the room.
 i And this leads to the sug- gestion that if ever there were need for the introduction Of the proposed daylight-saving act throughout the country, it is now. Begin work an hour earl fer and quit an hour earlier. That immediately would take an hours burden from the street railways, the electric light companies and the cleo tric power companies. The 1 'Owl car would be an hour earlier. People would be sleeping instead of using lights generated by coal. In compact
 little England, with daylight saving, they saved 100000 tons
 of coal ill one years time. Editorial Motel The above,
 from the National Coal Board reminds the editor, of a conver.
 sation recently had with c. H.
 Appleton, of Babbitt-Polson

AT THE TALISMAN THEATRE
Thursday and FrId,y, October
iIth and 18th,
joan; the Woman.

We have learned to view the
worlds greatest woman. Joan Of
Ark. as super human. but Joan the
Woman shows her as very human
indeed-a woman suffering all the
emotions of womanhood, but fore
going them all for France. Here
is shown. not the sanctified lead
ing of armies bya goddess. but the
suffering and travail of a woman
to bear new life to a nation.
The picture is mighty, gripping
spectacular-as far above other
pictures as Joan was above other
women. III it is seen all the gen
,, ius of Geraldine Farrar. who gave
up her operate work for months
| to help in the creation of this
super6lm.
i The Joan of Miss Farrar is q
susceptible. jealous. impetupus
creature. riding over every imped.
iment even to her own destruction.
The thickest of the battle attracts
her. She rides undaunted. TN
afraid. leading her heroic band. a
maid warrior. a doer Of deeds that
thrill the soul. grip the heart. and
make one looking on, want to rise
and cheer.
From the moment of her frs,
vision in the fields when her sim.
pie environment is hastily pu,
aside. until she stands amid the
cruel. creeping Il ,mes. and deRse,
choking smoke At the stake. she
passes through experiences that
range from tenderness to tradgedy
from innocence to blackest crime,
and from religious sincerity to the
most dastardly deceit aud conni.
vance.
Owing to the rapidity Of this
thrilling production the audience
should be in their seats at the rise
of the curtain.
