more favorable. The German-Aus-
trian troops have occupied two more
villages in Italy. but the announce
ment is made that they were evacuat-
ed in order to straighten the Italian
lines. The troops of the central pow
ers have made no material advances
for several days, and indications are
that reinforcements have enabled the
Italians to make a stand on a line
most favorable to themselves.
American troops are being concen-
trated at eastern ports of embarka
tion and are undoubtedly being sent
across as rapidly as transports can
be made ready Sundays dispatches
indicated that the sending of troops
might be suspended for a time in order
tC get coal, iron and munitions across,
but the fact remains that troops are
being removed to eastern ports from
which the transports leave for Europe.

STANDARDIZATION AGENT
VISITS AMERICAN FALLS
Studying Regulations Now in Force
With View to Developing Weak
nesses That May Exist.

S. A. Reagan. a representative of
the L. S. Bureau of Markets, spent the
fore part of the week in American
Falls. studying the application of the
governments grain Standardization
rules. Mr.. Reagan is a graduate of
the University of Idaho, having at
tended the university while County
Agent Kjosness was there. He has
been with the bureau of markets for
the past five years.
The grain standards now in effect
said Mr.. Regan, are not a war mea-
sure. The government has been at
work for the past eight years getting
ready to put Standardization into ef-
feet. Last December corn standards
were made effective, before war was
declared. Eight years ago the govern
ment began its corn standardization
studies. Five years ago it took up
wheat, and the wheat standards now
in use would have been put into ef-
feet regardless of the war.
The purpose. Mr.. Regan said, was
TO enforce a uniform standard through
out the entire country In the past
each great grain market had its own
standard. St Paul, Chicago and New
Orleans all had different standards
and uniform grading was impossible
Mr.. Regan is checking up the defects
of the present system, talking to grain
dealers and farmers, with a view tc
reporting his findings to the bureau OF
markets Eventually. Mr.. Regan be

4 DRAMATIC TREAT.

Many plays of American origin are
just as we'll supplied with the dramatic
starting point but fail to hold the great
humOr, the picturesque dignity and the
charm of atmosphere that has caused
the enduring popularity Of The Vir-
ginian."
To suggest the sympathetic insight
the literary freshness and the unaf-
fected eloQuence that has given its
characters is a task that few authors
attain. The story is a pretty one and
far above the ordinary plot of such
offerings in the nature of logic and
coherency of the theme
II has none of the blood and thun-
der features Of many of the so-called
dramas of the plains, yet teens with
intense dramatic moments. The love
interest is particularly strong and has
to do with interesting and vital char
acters in a clean. wholesome way It
tells of the battle of the great hearted.
simple-minded man of the plains into
whose life has come a change in the
person of an eastern girl of culture
and refinement whose manners of
great civilization he feels but does not
easily understand.
With a play possessing the qualities
of The Virginian" adequately pro-
duced and artistically acted one is
refreshed with a reminder than an
evening at the theater is still emin-
emily worth while The New York
Producing eompany's beautiful pro-
duction of the above play will be the
attraction at the Auditorium on Fri

Last Friday about 1 o'clock a. m.
I'd England, buyer at the Earring
Wheat platform at Pauline, who re-
sides just in the rear of the platform.
heard a wagon approaching the plat
form and thinking some farmer had
come in late with a load to be weighed
he went out and saw the wagon head
ing for the tithing yard scales. a quar-
ter mile north of the platform. The
past few weeks it has been customary
ior the loads Of wheat to go to these
scales. Loads coming from the south
60 to the scales, weigh the load. and
then return to the platform to be un-
loaded. Instead of stopping at the
platform the wagon heard Friday
morning continued south past the
platform, and the suspicion of Mr..
England was aroused. He went for a
lantern and followed the tracks of the
wagon from the platform to the tith-
ing scales and saw that the load had
been turned there This evidently was
done TO throw him off the trail. Mr..
England telephOned to Deputy Sheriff
Secrlst, who resides about three miles
south OF the platform, and this officer
went north to the first cross road and
awaited the coming of the wagon. It
was very dark and he could hear the
men talking and mention the fact that
a light was burning in Mr. Secrist's
/ home. They stopped the team. and
after waiting about ten minutes Mr..
/ Secrist returned to his home, blew out
the light and then took station be-
hind a telephone pole in front of his
yard. When the outfit was abreast of
him he stepped out, halted them and
told them to drive into his yard. He
| placed the men under arrest. put the
team into his stable. then put the men
to bed in his home and stood guard
over them until morning. when they
were taken to American Falls and
placed in the county jail. They con-
fessed the stealing of the 20 sacks
of wheat and wanted Mr.. Secrist to
call Mr. England up over the phone
so they could square the matter. This
Mr.. Secrist declined to do. The in
tention OF the two men, it is believed.
was TO return with the load the fol-
lowing day and sell it to the platform
from which it was stolen.

When we walk into the garden
That we have planted with great care
We're sure to pluck the rarest of
The buds and flowers there.
Though the stalks may bring forth
others.
Just as rare and just as sweet
But the one we plucked is missing.
And the bush is incomplete.
So of God when he goes plucking
From his garden of human flowers.
Seems he always picks the dearest
And the fairest ones of ours.
Though the family like the plant stalk
May have others rare and sweet,
But the flower God plucked is missing
And the family is incomplete.
All. we plant and we may pluck
Flowers fragrant. rich and rare.
When they fade and lose their fra
GRANGE,
We've no power to restore.
But when God plucks human flowers
They may mold and turn to dust,
But he with his infinite power
VIII restore them back to us.

Nelson in memory of Miss Laura

CONSIDERED SUGGESTION.
Striking Machinists of Fore River Plant May Settle Their Differences.


 Quincy, Nov 5.-s. W. Wakeman. manager of the Fore River plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuildtng company and representatives of the $500 strik- ing mechanics, considered yesterday 9 suggestion by the navy department that the pending wage differences be referred to Henry B. Endicott, ex- ecutive manager of the Massa achusetts committee on public safety. for ad- justment.
 Union leaders said an announce rnent as to the position of the men probably would be made after a meet- ing this afternoon
 Officials of the navy and the ship ping board hope for an agreement to end the strike, which is seriously hampering both the naval and ner- chant marines program.
 The wage scale itself was acceptable to the men. but they contend that in classifying machinists in three grades provided for too small a number were rated as the highest paid class. All machinists received an advance i, pay, however.
