Mr.. and Mrs. Isaak are eager to Sc
cure for their children the best edu-
cation possible. The older ones who
had graduated from the eighth grade
attended the schools in American Falls
last year, while the younger ones at
tended the school at Medley, nearly
four miles distant. Fol the little chill
dren this sometimes became an ardu-
GUS task during the winter and the
rainy season.
The parents of Mr.. Isaak reside with
John Isaak, another son, a mile to the
east of Gotthilf's ranch. The father
Is 70 years of age and the mother 80.
Both the aged pioneers of the west are
In the best of health, insisting hat
they perform some part of the work
incident TO household and farm each
day. They make frequent visits to
their children and grandchildren, all
of whom live in the section near
Medley.
Mr.. Isaak endorses the work of the
farm bureau and the county agent,
realizing that the efforts of both are
directed to the end that the farmers
of the county will constantly increase
the productiveness of the ranches, thus
benelitting the entire county. He has
faith in the future of dry farming in
this county, and realizes fully that
only study combined with hard work
will bring about the time when the
farmer will have reached the stage
where he can say hat his aims have
been realized and the pioneer stage
of dry farming passed.

ALONG The HIGHWAYS
Gleanings by the Pilgrim In His
Wanderings Here and There.

In following the swath Of the com
bines in the grain fields it is noticed
that thousands of garsshoppers are
killed by the sickles. The destruction
of the pest in this name comes a
little late in the season, but better
late than never. In many places the
ground is literally covered with the
dead insects.
Although the trips of the Pilgrim
have led well into the foothills south
and east of town very little wild game
has been sighted. The first sight of
any game birds was had Thursday last
when several flocks of sage hens were
seen along the road and in the stubble.
They did not seem to bother much
about the approach of a traveller on
foot. One flock of eighteen kept on
feeding within twenty feet of the way
farer and did not-even bother to take a
good look at him. So far only two
rabbits have been seen and one of
them was dead in the highway, pre-
sumably the result Of trying to bump
a car off the road. The secretly of
rabbits here should be a source of con
graduation TO the farmers. as i'm many
sections of the northwest where grain
and alfalfa fields are the rule this
pest has put the farmers to great ex-

formed that a farmer in he vicinity
OF Rockland approached a bunch of
three men camped on his land and
civilly requested them to leave as their
camp fire and smoking of coffin nails
endangered his r~ipening crops. One
or the party asked the farmer if he was
the owner of the land and on being
informed that he was, insolently in
yited him to go to hell. It was not
learned what the outcome of the mat
ter a There is no doubt that the
men encroaching without permission
on the farmers land belonged to the
band of loafers and troublemakers
commonly known as l. w. WIS.
The farmers seeking workmen to
help in the harvest fields are exper-
fencing considerable trouble in GET
ting men that will stay on the Job.
The men are offered good pay, good
food and comfortable sleeping quar-
ters. As a rule the work day is ten
hours. Yet the men quit without ap-
parent cause and many farmers are
forced to come to town at the busiest
time of the year to secure new forces.
1t is well known that the /. W. w.
gang is seeking to gain a foothold here
in furtherance of their destructive
methods of anarchism. To date they
have been foiled by the action of the
sheriff in taking the ~ringleaders in
charge as fast as they show up. 1t
seems that the best method of farmers
to counterfeit the activities Of this
bunch would be to report all cases or
attempted and actual troublemakink
to the officers of the law.

compensated for by the benefits result
ing from the precipitation.
George Tussing, farming three miles
west of Roy in the foothills, vas in
town Friday evening after two harvest
hands. He has started heading grain
and will report a good yield of wheat.
He said that a few days ago he was
out with his car and encountered a
water spout which sem such a volume
of water down one of the creeks that
he was forced to wait two hours before
he could cross the stream on his way
home. 1t was feared for a time that
n of the wagon bridges would go
out as the water was two feet over the
floor. However, no damage to the
bridge was done. Mr.. Tussing's place
is 35 miles from American Falls, the
roads in the vicinity of the foothills
not being just the best for smooth
travelling. Yet he makes the trip to
town in less than two hours with his
a when the needs of speed are mani
fest. He is a good mechanic and the
outlay for repairs to the car in the
year that he has been driving it totals
an even ten dollars. The trip with a
team used to take about seven hours
one way.
During a visit the other day to the
ranch of Ross McCarty two little boys
were noticed engaged in the work of
helping to win the war. One of them,
Arvol McCarty, thirteen years old, each
day hauls a load of wheat to town.

farm work. More than that, each one
of them has put in a patch of potatoes
and taken care of them so far and will
continue to do so until the potatoes are
in the bin or pit. The boys like the
work and both know their daily tasks
and go to them like old timers.
The children of Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ.
Wood, residing with their parents on
the foothills half section of the Ross
McCarty ranch, accompanied by the
children of Mr.. and Mrs. McCarty,
make frequent trips into the berry
patches of the foothills to gather
choke cherries and thimble berries
which grow in profusion there. Sar-
Wis berries also abound, as do wild
gooseberries. Any of these berries
mixed with rhubarb make a fine Jelly,

dies of the households each season.

Making the White House whittier was
the assigned duty yesterday afternoon
of detail Of fremen from various

upon shortly after ? p. m. to answer

caused when the fire engine appeared

the crowd saw the firemen nom

for IRE duty, but wash duty.
Fire Chief S. J. Wagner. comment

men yesterday, stated that such baths
are given the White House once each
year. The only other building here so
honored by the fire department is the

CONGRESS SPENT $17,ooo,ooo,ooo
Special Session, in Addition, Author
ICES Contracts for Nearly
S2.soo, 900, 900,

Washington, D. c., Oct. 5.-Since
Congress convened in its extraordi-
nary war session last April and up to
today it has placed at the disposal of
the administration u billions of dol
lars and has authorized contracts for
almost two and a half billions more.
Most of the money was for war
purposes, including seven billions for
loans to the Allies.
The appropriation committees,
through their chairmen, Senator Mar
tin and Representative Fitzgerald,
prepared the figures made public to-
day, coupling them with the declara-
ton that Congress had done its work
in furnishing money for war very ef-
fectively.
Fitzgerald announced that he could
not estimate the appropriations of
the next session OF Congress for
war expenditures until the various
Government departments submit
their estimates.
1T will depend" he said, ito a
very considerable extent upon the
number of men in the military forces
of the United States. 1t would be a
rash man who would undertake at
this time to forecast whether it would
be necessary to call an additional
1000 or 100000 or 100000 men
or whether the number of men al
ready called will be sufficient"
