"BABY BONDS" biRTH GIFTS;
 THEY GROW AS BABY GROWS
Byron Moser, Jr., St Louis' First Baby
 Bond investor.

St. Louis, Mo.-One of the inter esting attractive features of the first Liberty Loan Bond Issue was the nov el idea of purchasing a bond for an in fant son or daughter, that were aptly called Baby Bonds.
 Byron w. Moser, Jr.. infant son Of MT. and Mrs. Byron ". Moser, 61S8 McPherson avenue, St. Louis. was the first baby Liberty Bond investor and the first to receive his bond. The bond was purchased for him when he was six months old, Baby Byron will clip his first coupon when he is 1 year old, December, 1917. and there after for 30 years he will clip, semi- annually-a coupon.
 Byron. Jr., eooed over his bond gleefully, his chubby hands clutching 1t as firmly as a miser would grip his gold. If his cooing was rightfully in- terpreted, he confided that he pro- posed to start a savings account with the first coupon which he would clip, December, 1917, and thereby add to his capital His capital will be grow ing while he grows.
 A Liberty Bond is one of the most attractive birthday, Christmas, gradu- ating or other gift that can be made. It is a sure investment and gift that will alwavs he sure of appreciation.

 SEATS FULLY PAID

At an outlay of approximately $250- the citizens of Malvern and Hot Spring County are provided with con- veniences suitable for all public oc- casions that can not fail to attract attention and incidently merit the ap- preciation of the entire citizenship.

A Quiet Dining-The impromptu
gathering of a small party to meet
Senator Borah, d. w. Davis and Mr..
Anderson at a six O'Clock dinner in
the Rogerson Cafe last evening was
apparently managed by Mr.. Carl De
Long, and the affair may be called a
quiet one from the fact that no speech
making was INDUCED. Capt. D. w.
Davis is the chairman of the State
Liberty Loan Campaign committee
and Mr.. c. C. Anderson, who is Boise
merchant, is here to organize this
county in the interest of food conser-
walton. The local men who were ask
ed to meet and become acquainted
with the visitors were Mayor Brack-
en-, E. j. Finch, county chairman for
the Liberty Loan, Senator M. j..
Sweeley, Messrs. Nixon and Bradley,
representing the First National and
the Bank and Trust, and Messrs r. A.
Read and c. l.. Longley. An hour was
spent over the more or less well APP
pointed table, quite pleasantly. This
was Senator Borah's first visit to
Twin Falls for five years, and he de-
clared the improvement to be simply
marvellous.

hausted, albeit they have shipped
whenever cars were to be had-some
forty or fifty loads in all, and have
kept constantly making flour at the
rate of some five hundred barrels per
day At the present time, Mr. Brock
enridge says that no cars are to be
had but he did not appear to be ner-
vous about the matter, no doubt be
lieving that after the way in which
millers and grain men have acceded
to all governmental requirements,
their shipping needs would not be
neglected to their detriment. Ger
tainly since the government has taken
control of transportation such ought
not to be the case.

The Red Cross Card Party. ned yeg-

The Red Cross Card Party, held yes
terday afternoon at the Parish hall,
proved a grand success. In the first
place the hall, under the direction of
Mrs Conway, was most effectively and
tastefuny decorated. Each of the
forty-three tables bore the name of
some fort and floated a flag of its
own. AS there we're four persons at
each table, there must have been one
hundred and seventy-twO participants
in the game, besides a considerable
number of other visitors. Excellent
music was furnished by Mrs. Guibert
and Miss Etter, and Mrs. Dygart, q
guest of Mrs. Felt, also favored those
present with two much appreciated
vocal solos. The proceeds of the en-
tertainment to the benefit of the Red
Cross, were $179-certainly a great
credit to the earnest ladies having the
matter in charge.

Spud Crop Large-That the spud
crop is going to be big this year in
Twin Falls county is the opinion of E.
r. Bennett, field horticulturist of the
extension department of the univer-
sity of Idaho, who was here this week,
accompanying County Agent Donald
Mclean on tour of the county. AL
though the seed crop will not be up to
normal, owing to the character of the
season, the yield will probably aver
age between 200 and 300 sacks an acre,
which is considered a pretty good
crop.

Cuban Conservation
Plans Are Extensive
Crop Rotation Along the Lines Sug'
gested BY United States And Saw
ing-a-La-HOOver.

HAVANA, Aug. 1.-THE plans for
Investigation and conservation of
food supplies are rapidly being per-
fected here.
Vice President Emilio Nunez of
Cuba, who formerly headed the
Cuban Department of Agriculture, has
worked out a plan in consultation
with President Menocal and various
Cuban economists, whereby next
years production of diversified vege-
tables and livestock will, it is be-
lieved, reduce the importations OF
food supplies and release considerable
tonnage space for the transportation
of the Cuban sugar crop and various
war material required to carry out
Cuba's plans for making her coasts
impregnable to possible German at
tack.
'Bor many years." said Captain
Reno here, Cuba has been known
principally, for two crops-sugaI
I and tobacco. Accordingly, the i'm
ports into Cuba of standard food
stuffs, such as fresh meats, potatoes
vegetables and fats, have not shown
any reduction in the face of the fac
that Cuba's material resources from
agriculture have practically doubled
in the past few years This is a con
dition which the Cuban department
of Agriculture is now engaged il
r%emedying, and l propose to gain
from Mr.. Hoover detailed suggestion
as to how this work may be carried
on still more efficiently. Needless t.
say, the suggestions which he make
will be welcomed by the Cuban gov
eminent.
1--WE are now educating the farmer
in crop rotation, so that the owner
of the big plantations may not b
forced to. import great quantities Q
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-08-14

foodstuffs which they could produce
easily on their own land. The use of
proper fertilizers has likewise been
encouraged by the Cuban food con-
trollers, in many instances the farm
ers being supplied with fertilizers by
the government at cost prices or less
Conditions will soon exist" Captain
Reno added, "such as to release much
ocean tonnage now utilized in the
transportation of food to Cuba, for
other purposes, such as transporting
the sugar crop which has required
every available foot of Cuban acreage
space for the past three months, and
to bring to Cuba the large quantities
of military and naval supplies which
Cuba has contracted for in the United
States.
Or. Lorenzo Arias, sub-secretary
of agriculture of Cuba, plans to car
ry the food production campaign to
plantation owners and further. I'm
der his direction an agricultural Ii
brary will be installed in Cuba. Cuba
1 may say, will probably be the first
country in the world to possess such
an institution. This library will sup
plement the usual issuance of bulle-
tins and other information to the
farmers and plantation owners Maxi
mum price fiXation in Cuba for GER
tain articles of foodstuffs is only prep
aratory to the solution OF Cuba's food
problem, so that in the not far dis
tant future Cuban resources and also
Cuba's fertile soil will suffice to sup
port the population without reliance
upon outside sources"
