TEACHERS ENJOY OUTING \

n A jolly party of eight teachers left
Blackfoot about 10 o'clock, Thurs
day morning, for trip to the Black
foot bottoms. On their journey they
visited the Indian school at Fort

interesting to the teachers was the
Indian roundup.
Those enjoying the trip Were~tfIe
Misses Dice, Smith,-~Weiermuller,
.Hebaety -Ravendall, Rushfeldt, Stem
berg and Baron. The only souvenirs
the young ladies brought back were
sunburns and freckles. Altho the

sons proclamation today.
Herbert Hoover, who will put the
presidents order into force Nov. /

threat" of which he says he receives
daily evidence.
Stimulation of production Is
Hoover's dominant thought.

SANTA CLAUS WILL RE III 1DLBER ALL
MEN In CAMPS AND CANTONMENTS

The whole country will join in an
effort to show that the happiness of
the soldiers is q large consideration
at Christmas.
In every camp and cantonment
there will be Christmas greens, and
trees; there will be celebrations;
sands of presents.
In the whole army in the United
States there will not he single sol
der, even If he has not relative in
the world, who will be forgotten.
Abroad the American Christmas
will probably excite the envy of the
Allied troops Christmas dinners
such as would be enjoyed at home
will replace the regular mess. Plum
buildings have gone Over There" by
the thousand. In addition the post
Office department and the express
companies planned weeks in advance
for delivering Christmas boxes to the
soldiers on Christmas morning.
The Young Mems Christian As
sociation@cf course will play leading
part in making Christmas a real fes-
tival. Entertainments have been ar
ranged in all of the Y. NJ C. A. build
ings and tents. Some we'll known
players have promised to assist in
the Christmas festivities. Singers,
violinists, pianists-all who could
bring Christmas cheer have volun-
teered their services.
To plan for the Christmas festivi-
ties meant weeks of work for the
Young Mems Christian Association
authorities. But a comprehensive
plan was worked out and no build
ing at any of the camps will be with
out an attractive program.
In the communities near the train
ing camps theRe has beed the most
eager evidence of desire to co.

operate. Every family that can pos
slbiy do so has arranged to take a
soldier home" and the fighting men
OF this country who do not remain in
camp, and yet do not have furlonghs
to visit their own homes, will sit by
warm Preside and dine again at a
real table
How many thousands of homes will
be open to the soldiers is impossible
to estimate. But it is a certainty
that every soldier who can leave
camp will find Preside waiting for
him.
The Offices of chaplains and adiu-
tants have been busy places during
these days preceding Christmas re-
ceiving all the invitations for the men
and working out plan so that every
one could be accepted, and so that
there would be no sighting of de-
serving soldiers.
The Commission on Training Camp
Activities has co-operated with the
communities near training camps and
enlisted the support of the local
churches SO that reading rooms and
recreation centers will be open. Some
OF the churches have arranged 20
serve dinners to soldiers.
Another feature of camp life on
Christmas Day will be the great car
nival OF athletics. All regiments at
the various camps have been .prepar-
ing for this day. The eagerness has
been like that of a college and there
has been as much loyalty shown for
the different regiments as is shown
before cOIfaca cameS

camps will be marked by religious
services. Some of the Catholic priests

Desert Sand Shoes
For British Troops


The British troops in the Sinai
Desert, in Palestine, have found a
way to make their feet as sand
worthy as the camel's. BY weaving
a stiff network or heavy wire and at
taching it to their shoes, they are
able to travel over the finest sand
without sinking ankle deep in it, SAYS
Popular Science Monthly. They have
adopted the principle of the snow
shoe,
It is said to be physically impos-
sible for a man to walk over desert
sand for more than two DAYS with
ordinary shoes. At the end of that
time TIE toes and heels became main.

CHICAGO, July Fiat men will look

conform to the styles forecast for the

here for the convention of the Ma
tional Association of Clothing Design
ers, which opened today. The scant
English styles are to be resumed. they
say. and suits will be patterned with
sharp. form defining lines.
It Is also predicted that spring suits
in 1918 will be without belts. cuffs or
pockets and that mon will be COM

The production Of trench style"
overcoats will be restricted to Uncle
Sans uniform makers. and several de-
signers said those who wish to don
military sarb must go into some arm
OF the service.
Scarcity of wool Is credited with
much of the responsibility for these
radical changes in style, and govern
ment orders for cloth conservation
have prompted economy in coats and
suits The contemplated elimination of
excess cloth from mems clothing will
save approximately 100000 yards
during the year. according to Freder-
ick A. Kieff OF Chicago. who presided
at the convention.
