The commissariat of a modern army
should be an example to every Ameri-
can housewife. In the army the ration
is we'll balanced, the cheapest. most
nutritious and palatable foods are pur-
chased, and the most economical means
of preparing them are uesd.
1t is patriotic duty at this time and
all the time, whether there is war or
peace, for every American woman, rich
or poor. to keep her home prepared.
Home preparedness means substItu-
tion Of cheap dishes Ter costly foods
when practical. elimination of waste,
and scientifically balanced rations.
There are two great groups of foods
that enter into balanced human ra-
tion-the protein group. like meats,
eggs, and beans; and the starch group.
such as potatoes, rice. cereals. bread,
etc The protein foods, as rule. are
more expensive than the starchy foods.
Some protein foods, however, are
cheap The prime factor in economy
in foods is the choice of protein foods
that are at the SAME time cheap and
palatable.
A cheap food. rich in protein and
fats is the ordinary field soy bean.
cents a quart will supply over five
ounces of protein, while average beef
at twenty cents a pound will supply
little over one ounce of protein Tor the
same money.
An excellent basis for soups can be
made from the water IN which most
vegetables are boiled. The water in
which soy beans have been cooked, for
example, may be used to good advan-
tage in making stock. Save also veg
etable tops, skimmilk, bones and meat
scraps for soup. Make the butcher
give you all the tat that he weighs
with your cut of meat-it's valuable
grease.
Don't depend on one kind of food.
When potatoes are dear remember that
one pound of dry corn meal provides
about five times as much fuel or ener-
gy and five times as much tissue-build-
ing protein as one pound of raw potato
and costs from one-thlrd to one-sixth
as much.
Ralsins are rich in sugar, mineral
salts, and the natural grape acids and
thier cost Is low.
Whole wheat cracked in little $3.50
handmlll, or even in coffee mill. is
one Of the most delicious and nourish-
ing breakfast foods known-and mex
pensive even at the present high price
of wheat.
Save fuel and labor by making hot
breads only when using your fire tor
the cooking of other foods. Avoid the
danger of over cooking, and conserve
the flavor of your dinner by using
tireless cooker. You can make a good
one yourself very cheaply.
BY such expedients as these every
woman can "prepare" her home not
only against war, bat also against
sickness or hard times.

Eighty head of stock hogs were
bought here Saturday by Arthur Woody
for Nashville parties. The price paid
g cents a pound--was the highest
ever received here. Others are ar
ranging to sell many more this week.
While the price is good and the
money in many instances may be need
ed for the crop this year, the general
practice of selling now in the face of a
heavy bitter mast is certainly an I'M
wise one.
1t will be remembered tn at last year
we had practically no sweet mast.
That would be something of an assur-
ance that the sweet mast crop will be
much larger this year. With a tar
sweet mast to carry hogs until freezing
sweetens the bitter mast, it would
seem that more favorable condition
for our farmers for raising fat hogs
for the market next tall could hardly
be expected. Hogs that are sold now
would have stood an excellent chance
of bringing fully twice the money next
fall or winter. In Che face OF such
conditions it is unwlse and poor busl-
ness to sell stock hogs now, regardless
of the price offered.

SOLDIERS TURN AUCTIONEERS
MAYBE 1T FITS, MAYBE NOT!

The following are extracts taken
from letter received by Mrs. Trego
from Fremont Kutnewsy, who fol
several months made his home al
Sagehurst, and who is now a member
of the First Utah light field artillery:
''It is long step out and down
form the surroundings of Sagehurst
to rough camp life and we all feel
sort Of cut off, as If severed from
half of our individualities, but are
very happy and contented. 1t is q
tremendous task to make unit out
of thousand men, even when all
are earnestly doing their best to
learn!
Clothing has just been issued to
us, and the sizes varied so much
from our former idea of such things
that the whole camp has been turn
ed into trading post. At all hours
Of the day you may hear auctioneer-
ing cries Of WHO'S got seven and
a quarter hat to trade for severn
'Here!' What size you got?' No,
over here!' Let's try it on Who
wants to trade a pair of pants?'
Every now and again some fellow
pokes his head into the tent and
asks If we have any clothes to trade.
Then there are the aftermath COM
ments Of disgruntled, unsuccessful
ones who haven't made fit. The
uniforms are khaki, quite light and
durable stuff"

GERMANS REPULSED-BITTE
ATTACKS BY ALLIED FORCES

Brief but bitter fighting occurred
in No Mans Land August 81. The
German officers tried to rally their
men against the Canadians intense
attack, but without success. They
were surprised at break Of day and
were completely overcome by the enc
mys attack. The Canadians were sue
cessful in gaining possession of many
railway embankments, colliery sid
ings and important Teuton defenses.
The success of the allied forces and
intensive fighting of the day before
continued Wednesday. The British
captured important strategic positions
for a mile along the Ypres-Menin
road to depth OF nearly a, third Of
mile, and further to the north car
ried forward their front about half
mile over an extent of over two and
one-half miles. The fighting, accord
ing to the official report, was of the
most desperate nature, and the pris-
oners taken bearing al small ratio to
the losses inflicted on the Germans.
The French and Italians, too, made
big and important gains and one Of
the principal ones was the taking Of
5000 German prisoners.

Men for First Quota of
Draft Haze Been Selected

After long tedious hours spent by
the local draft board, not only in
examining the men who appeared foI
examination, but in making the le.
gal reports to be submitted to the
government, passing ON exemptions
filed and numerous other duties that
non-interested party cannot con-
ceive of, Bingham county's quota OF
103 men is fast reaching the speci-
fled goal.
The definite mobilization date of
the drafted men from this county is
yet a matter of individual thought
and speculation; however, it can be
stated with some safety that the men
will be called to report to the local
board, thence to the post of their as
signment, about September first.
The mobilization of these troops as
sumes alarming proportions when it
is realized that the local board is
responsible in the matter of notify
ing each man, seeing that he reports
at O'Clock on the evening before
the day that he departs, to make ar
rangements for board and lodging
for the night before their departure,
obtain transportation for each and
every man and to make sure that ev-
cry man reports at the train and gets
safely on his journey to the post.
The following named men are call
ed into the service of the United
States and have been certified to the
district board at Boise, having been
passed by the local board of Bingham
county:
, Rudolph Sommers, Rudolph Tressl,
William w. Mitchell, Henry A. Heu-
ther, Lewis c. Aicher, Cyrus c. Toll
man, Lars F. Hunsaker, Zeddie Sat-
terrified, Frederick Jemmett, Don AL
len Bennett, Joseph E. Fisher, Floyd
Porter, William Delzer, Oliver Leroy
Womack, Peter w. Peterson, Arthur
Nelson, John A. Young, Bud Reed

Weber County Farm
Bureau Excursion

The members of the farm bureau
of Weber county Utah, took weeks s
trip, starting Monday morning and
travelling north as far as st. Anthony,
Idaho, where they planned to disband
Friday morning for the run home
On the way north they visited the
principal places of interest thru Cache
valley, Bear river valley and Snake
river valley. There were about 40
cars and $50 persons, mostly young
and middle-aged men.
The plan was to have them go from
Pocatello Wednesday morning via
American Falls to Aberdeen, and then
traverse the American Falls tract to
Blackfoot, but the party changed
their course and came to Blackfoot
and then doubled down as far as the
alfalfa seed farms below Springfield
and back. The trip was long and
dusty and was a disappointment to
many of the party who were not es-
pecially interested in alfalfa seed nor
long stretches of sagebrush and dust.
Some liked the trip, all but the
doubling back by the same route
Some were enthusiastic about the
great expanse Of new lands. Some
expressed regret that they had not re-
NAMED in Blackfoot to enjoy look
at the fine business blocks and the
residence district with its shade and
flowers. All of them were hungry
when they got in, and sought places
where they could eat without stop
ping to make thoro cleanup.
They went on to Idaho Falls in the
afternoon.

MRS. ROSS RETURNS
AFTER SUCCESSFUL TRIP

Mrs. M. L. Ross, the genial prop
rietor of the Woman's shop, returned
the first of the week from three
weeks buying trip to Portland.
There were I'LL buyers and mer-
chants registered and practically all
of the big cities in the west were
represented. Not only was the trip
a great benefit to Mrs. Ross and
Blackfoot, inasmuch as she purchas-
ed some of the finest women's out
fittings obtainable, but was a source
of much pleasure. While in Port
land they were guests and were the
recipients of much courtesy and en-
tertainment. She visited few days
at her old home in Walla Walla.

Josha Jehle Killed
at Sugar Factory

The new two hundred and ten-foot
smokestack of the Utah-Idaho sugar
factory of Blackfoot was nearing
completion when it was the scene OF
most unfortunate and fatal acci-
dent. Jasha Jehle of Brooklyn, N.
y, who during the construction had
held a very responsible position,
dropped on the inside of the chimney
from a distance of one hundred and
seventy-five feet to instant death.
He was top-latching the interior Of
the smokestack, and thru a misun-
derstanding of the signals to the
hoisting engineer stationed at the top
of the stack, the elevator, or techni-
cally termed, the flying machine, on
which Jehle was standing broke
loose from the side walls and he was
crashed to the ground. His head was
completely crushed and the greater
part of the bones in his body were
broken. He was employed by the AL
phons Castodis Chimney Construction
company of New York, was twenty
five years of age and single.
The coroner's jury, namely, N. F..
Montgomery, s. w. Gaddie, T. w.
Norton, Alex. Bumgarner, c.. H.
Brown, r. M. Watson, G. G. Ander-
son and Alfred Boulting, put in a
verdict of "a misunderstanding of
signals causing fall of IT'S feet from
the smokestack of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, crushed skull, caus-
ing instant DEATH"
The fatal flying machine has car
ried thousands of bricks, material
and the men for the construction of
the smokestack. and was thought to
be safe. 1t is lowered and raised by
a cable going over the top of the
chimney on a pulley, to the ground
below, and the signals are given by
the hoisting foreman at the top and
the ground man. A few hours be-
fore the accident, about noon, par
ty of office employees of the sugar
company and number of city visi-
tors made the ascent to the topmost
part of the chimney on the same ma
chine that cost Jehle his life.

JAPAN TO HELP U. s. IN
WAR; ASKS NO ASSISTANCE

Japan will stand by the United
States to the end of the war-and
after. She will ask no money, no
material, no equipment. She will ex-
change pledges of national, lasting
friendship and will prove that Ger
many, instead of seeking to make
an ally Of her, has been trying by
propaganda to cause rupture between
Japan and the United States. These
are the aims as outlined by source
close to the Japan embassy, of the
Japan mission, which is soon to ar
rive in Washington. Japan, unlike
some of the belligerent nations is not
in the need of assistance, either f.
nancially or materially, and from the
present outlook Japan will help the
United States to the utmost extrem-
ity during the war and hopes to OBJ
literate international trouble makers.

l. w. w. MENACE DECLINES.

The l. w. W. strike that was or
dered into effect in western states
last Monday fizzled out. Their threats
had been so disgusting to the public,
and probably to many of their men,
bers, tha the order to lay down
their tools and let the crops rot was
disregarded.
The chief of the organization at
Spokane and twenty-six of his aides
were arrested by the military power
and placed on preliminary examina-
tion to see II they had been guilty
of conspiracy against the govern
ment.
The governors of Idaho, Washing
ton, Oregon and Montana had inves-
tigated carefully and agreed upon a
program to match the strikers if
strikes materialized, but public senti-
ment and the liberality with which
they had been tolerated seems to have
broken down their program.
