SOME HON0RS ARE INVISIBLE
Although Intangible and Really Nom
existent They Are Eagerly Sought
In Many Cases.

There is always something intangible
about real honors. That is why the
Victoria Cross was made of gun metal
and not of gold. 1t was to mark the
fact that the main thing was what
it stood for and not what it was itself.
In the anne way the most coveted
title is the Order of Merit, which only
confers the right to put the letters o..
M. at the end of ones name. But
those letters mean such a lot. They
mean that you are one Of a little band
of the most distinguished people in the
world, and that you possess an honor
which money cannot buy, says an Eng
lish writer.
But there are some honors which
have absolutely nothing to show for
themselves, which are absolutely in
visible, intangible, nonexistent, and
yet are eagerly striven for.
One of these is the blue ribbon of
the turf. There is no such blue rib
bon, and if there was nobody knows
why it should be that particular color.
However, for over a hundred years
racing men have talked about winning
the blue ribbon of the turf, by which
they mean that particular race for
~three-year-old colts which we call the
derby.
Another invisible honor and decora-
ton is the triple crown" 1t really
belongs to the rugby football field, so
sadly depleted on the BATTLEFIELD in that
deadly serum with the Germans.
tn ,cr,,o1 tfp,O~ INnplovI C.Afla-l
Ireland and Wales play International
matches with each other. and, as hap
pens occasionally, one of them clicks
the other three; that one is said to
win the triple crown. There is no
crown, but the honor is greatly priced
all the same.

In the Castilian language trousers
come singly, not in pairs. The story
told by Harry A. Franck of his friend
Hays, and his struggles with this Span
ish idiom, is in the Century, in Mr.
Franck's article, "Quito the City of the
Equator" Pausing in the entrance of
one of the little sewing dens known as
tailor shops, Hays asked, "Can you
make me a pair of trousers by Satur-
day night?"
"Un par, %senor," cried the tailor
"Ah, no; it is impossible so o
can make you a trouser by then, though
not two of them. Then while you are
wearing the one 1 can perhaps make
the other, if the senior is in such haste
"Oh, all right" said Hays, suddenly
recalling that trousers are-that isis
singular in Spanish. go ahead I'll
try to get along with one over Sun
day"

Domestic

Two poorly clad women were pro-
ceeding homewards after the eXhilarat-
ing g~aieties of the mothers meeting,
and naturally they discussed domestic
economy, says London Tit-Bits.
"Dae We KEN" said Mrs. Brown. I'm
due ten-and-nine for gas this quarter,
and 1 dinna ken how I'll get it paid"
"Why not be like me-" said Mrs.
Green, land use the penny-in-the-slot
meter?'
But they say it's the dearest in the
end. Ye get less gas for your penny,
We ken, than 1 get for NINE"
AYE, but We see, it's just this way
wi mel lever put in nae mair than
a penny at a time, and We see, a lot o.
folk comes tae my hoose at night, and
whenever the gas begins to go down

there is y somebody ready to stump
up the penny. Oh, yes, it's far cheap

MIND AND BODY-SLOUCHING
Stand Erect, Face God, Breathe Deep
and Talk Sense, Is Admonition
of Writer.

The hygienic department of the Chi
cage Herald has this paragraph:
Keep erect if you want to keep on
the road to good health SLOUGH or
slump and you are apt to find your
self headed for the sick bed. For
rounded shoulders and relaxed abdom-
inal walls are often associated with
serious nervous maladies."
Not only the physical well-being, but
the moral well-being is deeply inter-
ested in this suggestion, says the Co
lumbus (O.) State Journal. When a
person gives way to body-slouching the
mind goes with it and s%louches, too.
Those v maladies referred to are
the same as mind maladies, which cas-
lily merge into moral maladies. The
only thing to do is to stand erect, face
God, breathe deep inc talk sense. One
cannot do these things if he slouches
and let's his muscles sag and his o +
gans slump.

BEETLES MOST NUMEROUS
They Are Adaptable Creatures, Being
Found Almost Everywhere on
Face OF the Globe.

One of the most amazing things in
natural history is the way in which
beetles have ~triumphed in the struggle
for existence. OF all creatures they
are by far the most numerous, no few
er than 10000 distinct species hav-
ing been identifed-three times the
number of ~backboned animals.
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are ound practically everywhere
in the frost-bound tracts of Iceland
and in the hot desert sands of Africa /;
on the highest mountains, under the
ground, and as fossil, in the deepest
strata; on land and in water; on
plants, among stones and in wood and
earth, n ever in the very craters of
volcanoes.
But there is one place where no
beetle has yet been found-it is the in
hospitable land of Spitzbergen, to the
north of Russia. Here are mammals,
birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans, a
few insects of varied species and many
spiders, but not n single beetle

HazeIton Bank to
Have New Home

Architect Burton f. Morse of This
City Tells of Growth of NOrthside
Village.
The Hazelton State bank, at Hazel
ton, the live little city in the center
of the Twin Falls North / project
is to have a new home. The new build
ing will be 25x60 feet, one story high
with full basement and built of white
pressed brick with terra Gotta trim
mings. 1t will be thoroughly modern
in every respect.
Speaking of the town, Mr.. Burton e.
Morse, the architect who drew the
plans today said: This tract is
growing, the town is growing New
settlers are coming in nearly every
day and buying farms, and many new
homes are in the making Hundreds
of acres of raw land have had the
sage brush removed, broken and seed
ed this year; the crops on the entire
segregation, to be harvested this sum-
mer and fall are abundant and the
prospects for substantial turns were
never brighter. Consequently, to keep
pace with the march of progress OF
the surrounding country and the town,
the increasing business of this insti-
tuition under the able management of
Mr.. H. E. Gundelfinger, the cashier,
assisted by a set of level-headed and
thorough business men as directors,
has reached a point in their career on
the segregation, where it is necessary
to have more commodious quarters
with up to date methods for the prop
er handling of the peoples financial
affairs.
TT bank has just recently install
ed a new Burroughs bookkeeping ma
chine, the better to expedite the
handling of the business of the banks
many customers and if possible rem
der more and better service to the
public.

which is to be begun at once, was de-
signed and is to be erected under the
supervision of Burton E. Morse, archi-
tect, of Twin Falls, and when com

A writer in the New York Sun says
in regard to hoisting the flag: very
often the two ropes are secured quite
taut, whereas the lower corner of the
flag should be allowed to fly as far as
it will away from h pole. 1t is thus
it floats readily with every zephyr, and
in a fair wind flaps merrily and has
a good time generally, while with a
lively breeze the bunting tries to soar
upward above the top of the pole. This
freedom is particularly becoming for
Old Glory, which is at his best in fight
ing or playing in the winds and sun
light. On the contrary, when strapped
down with light cords he is apt to wrap
himself about the staff, reminding n
of an old-fashioned stick of checker
berry candy or a suburban BARRIERS
pole. Lately returned from the South,
1 frequently noted flags floating from
diagonal cross sticks at the top of the
usual staff, with the result that the
banner is always "opened out" even
in a dead calm. 1t also flies prettily
in the wind, and you are never in
doubt as to whether the flag is still
there"

SICK BRUTES ARE TORTURED
Cruel and inhuman Methods often
Used in Treating Domestic Ami
mails, Declares Writer

Barbarous methods of treating sick
animals as practiced in certain parts
of this country are described as fol
lows by a writer in Farm and Fireside.
Numerous COWS in our neighbor-
hood have had holes bored in their
horns and t%urpentine poured in. They
have had their tails split and salt and
pepper inserted, when all the poor
beasts needed was to have the vacancy
in their stomachs filled with nouriSh-
ing food. A neighbor who lately lost
n mule from blind staggers used,
among other crude remedies, turpen-
tine poured directly into the ears. Hog
diseases frequently appear in our COM
munity, and every sick hog is sup
posed to have the cholera. Some peo-
pie pour coal oil into their hogs ears
as a remedy for cholera, but / can
not see where the good comes from
irritating the delicate membranes in
side the head when the trouble lies in
mother part of the body.
"Then when chickens begin to die
suddenly, cholera is again credited,
and among the remedies employed by
some people to stamp out the disease
is to burn a sick chicken alive.
considerable mental effort is need
ed to realize that here in a supposedly
enlightened land, filled with schools,
churches and charitable organizations
today, in 1917, such barbarism per

An Old Love Secret.

A youth or maiden pulls a primrose
from it's stalk, and, after cutting off
the tops of the stamens with a pair of
scissors, puts 1t in some secret place
where no human eye can see it. All
through hat day the loved one must
be thought of, and dreamed of through
the night. Next day the flower is to be
taken from its hiding-place. If the
stamens are found to have shot out
to their former height, success in love
will attend h experimenter; if not,
disappointment will be his or her lot.

A Land Mark
Changes Hands
A BurIey Business Man Becomes the
Owner OF the Justamere nm.

The papers were signed yesterday
nv which the Twin Falls hostelry
widely known as the Justamere Inn
was transferred to the ownership OF
Mr.. Charles f. Fargo, of Burley, at
the nominal price of twenty-five thou
sand dollars. This building was erect
ed by the McDermonts seven years
ago, and mas been in their possession
ever since, although managed, at
times, by other parties. 1t was orig
inaIly opened with great eclat, the
chef and other serVitOrs being import
ed from the far east. But the country
here at that time was too new, the ele-
walton too great and the atmosphere
rather too rarified for quite so much
style and expense. However, 1t has
always been a pleasant n comfort
able stopping place; and, more recent
ly. has been uniformly well p~atronized
as a sort of family hotel and rooming
house.
The new proprietor is reputed to be
an experienced hotel man; but the
TIMES is advised hat the immediate
management will be in the hands OF
his daughter, Mrs. Reat.
The entire building was renovated
but a few months agO when Mr.. NeC

Please Fix It!-This specially re-
ferring to the last three-quarters of
a mile, more or less, of the road lead

great Shoshone Falls. This waterfall,
with its wonderful canyon is probably
the greatest scenic wonder of the
state-certainly of this part of the
state. And, SO far as tourists are con
cerned, it is our very greatest asset.
Such being the case it seems quite too
bad that the visitor should go away
