by the fact that Hindenburg has
been able to choose his own battle
ground and TO strengthen his de-
fensive positions enormously.
1T seems almost impossible that
the German line will break and. as
il cannot be fianked, the allies have
no choice but TO repeat the terrific
frontal attacks which cost them en-
ormous sacrifices in the Somme bat
tie without bringing them any
strategieal, or even tactical, advan-
tages.
The sacrifices required by such
attacks are too great to be contin-
ued for a long time, and an often
sive Of this kind must always be
considered a failure if il fails 10 ac-
cOmplish its purpose, which is 10

gain Of territory here and there is
immaterial"
The critic considers Hindenburg's
retreat from Picardy one OF the
most mastery strategic moves OF
the whole war and expresses the
opinion the German front is strong
er today than ever before. In con-
clusion he says:
Streams Of blood will flow dur

is not probable that the terrific
struggle which is 10 be expected will
bring a decision of the war.
All signs point TO a probability
that the super-Offensive OF the Brit
ish and French legions will again be
smothered in blood. The next three
months must show whether the
German resistance can be broken.

France cannot be cleared before the

WASTE NO FOOD

Food is wasted-When we eat more
food than our bodies need for growth
and repair and to supply energy for
our work. Over eating tends to poor
health and fat instead of Drawn, also
makes us sluggish and indolent in
stead of energetic and resourceful.
Eat enough and no more. Eat for phys
ical and mental efficiency.
When food is burned or spoiled in
cooking. - Improperly prepared or
poorly seasoned food will be left on
the table and probably wasted. Buy
food wisely and then prepare it care
fully.
When too much food is prepared for
a meal-Unserved portions are apt -
be thrown into the garbage pail jr
allowed to spoil. Many housekeepers
do not know how to use leftover
foods to make appetizing dishes.
When anything edible is allowed t.
go to the garbage pail or allowed %
spoil for lack of proper handling.
When food is handled carelessly--
Buy clean food. keep it clean until
used, and be neat in all details OF
cooking and serving. This lessons
waste and is a valuable health mea-
sure as well.

THREE PRIZES WILL BE AWARD
ED TO THE WINNERS AT
THE CLOSE
EXPLANATION OF CONTEST MADE
BY SECRETARY TAYLOR
Three Classes of Stores Are Arranged
For the 0ccasiOn-WilI Run Until
The Fifth Day of May-Large Num-
Der of Entries Expected.

Secretary Taylor of the Commercial
club has announced that plans have
been perfected for the conduct of the
Window Trimming contest beginning
May l and ending May 5.
Speaking the matter today Secre-
tary Taylor said:
1T is expected that the big majority
of local merchants will enter the con-
test, and take particular pains to
make up displays of their goods in
such manner that they will not only
compare favorably with those of the
other enterprising merchants who en-
tered similar contests throughout the
country, but will at the same time at
tract large numbers of purchasers to
their stores.
More pnd more merchants are
daily coming to recognize the value of
their display windows for advertising
purposes. Time was when the store
window was merely regarded as a
medium for admitting light Today.
however, 1t is recognized as one of
the most effective advertising medi
ums the merchant has for promoting
the interest of his store. In the large
cities thousands of dollars are invest
ed in the special construction of store
windows and in the artistic arrange
ment of goods therein. The result is
countless sales directly traceable to
the window itself There is no rea-
son why every merchant cannot get
proportionate value out of his win
dows if he gives the proper attention
to their most efficient use.
aft &c IN stimulate inf in, n,
is now recognized as one of the most
powerful sales factors at the disposal
of merchants that the local window
trimming contest has been arranged
Three complete l. c. S. scholarships
will be awarded as prizes. A group
of impartial judges will be selected to
view the contesting windows and
make the awards. An invitation to
participate in the contest is extended
to all local merchants.
"In order to conduct the contest on
as fair and equitable basis as pos
sible, the stores of the city have been
grouped into three classes, as fol-
lows:
"Class A-Department, dry goods.
clothing, mems furnishing, hats, shoes
and millinery stores, ladies' shops, tai
lor shops.
"Class B-Drug, stationery, books,
music, art jewelry, china cigar AMI
confectionery stores, photographers
studios.
"Class C-Hardware, carriage and
harness, sporting goods, leather goods,
automobile, furniture, wall paper,
paint, grocery and provision stores,
bakeries, meat markets, electrical,
plumbing, and florists shops.
"a complete I. G. S. scholarship will
be awarded to the winner in each of
these three classes. The successful
contestant will be given his choice
of a Scholarship in Advertising, Sales
manship, Window Trimming, or Show
Card Writing.
Invitations to participate in the
contest are being mailed to local mer-
chants. Anyone desiring information
regarding the contest should apply to
Secretary of the Commercial club"

Large Attendance and Good Talks
Marked Gathering To-day at The

The Twin Falls Commercial club re-

a gathering attended by the majority
of the business men of the city. The
gathering voted unanimously at the
close to continue the idea permanent
ly with different man in charge each
week until the thing had been passed
around to all the members and pa
irons.
After the luncheon President T. X.
Hackman introduced Vice President
Hal G. Blue, who assured the mer-
chants present that the purpose of
touching elbows was to bring about
a more harmonious spirit.
Arthur Peavey moved that the affair
take place weekly and this was carried
by a rising vote. Mr. Peavey and W.
r. Priebe then spoke briefly reiterat-
ing the idea of community co-opera-
ton. DR.. John e. White, president of
the farm bureau, assured the mer-
chants of the goodwill of the farmers
and suggested that the women of the
community be taken into the councils.

prevailed and Mr.. Finch was declared
