flowing at the rate of four gallons per minute
was raised in temperature from So degrees F.
to 113 degrees F., the gas consumption being
22O cubic feet per hour. By cutting down the
flow of water, the delivery temperature must
be raised. At discharge of three gallons per
minute the temperature was 121 degrees f.
Approximately one cubic foot of gas is re-

the per-gallon cost of this heater is not large.
Nevertheless, reasonable discretion must be ex

BETTER PROFITS IN SIGHT.
.While the war or its immediate ef-
feet Is upon the nations we can con-
ceive Of no condition under which the
price paid for these products will be
less than that now offered and In the
matter of some meats and fats 1t will
advance.
Even with the present prevailing
high prices of hay and other stock
food, there is excellent promise of a
better profit in feeding that high
priced food to stock purchased with
borrowed money than there Is In sell
ing the raw product. These are facts
that can be proven by anyone from
careful estimates made and shown In
reports from our government expert
ment stations, and from practical
stock, dairy and sheep men all over
the country. Farmers. will eventually
find that the hay market depends al
most entirely upon the livestock breed
ing and feeding operators.
BANKS WILL LOAN MONEY.
I'VE understand that banks are anx-
ious to loan money to responsible
farmers who have hay. at a reasonable
rate Of interest, for the purchase OF
| cattle, hogs and sheep, taking secur-
| ity on the stock purchased and the
hay to be fed. To the careful farmer,
| this appeals as good investment
| now; especially should 1t appeal to
some of our hay growers who do not
have access to railroads whereby they
may avail themselves Of the outside
market prices. 1t Is claimed that many
! of the large owners of sheep and cat
tie who have not already purchased
their hay say they will not buy at
present. Regardless Of this claim. IT
Is quite certain that hay at points dis
tant from railroads cannot command
the uniform high price this year that
will prevail for hay that can be ship
ped into other states. We suggest
the purchase and feeding of stock. es-

SHEEP ADVISED
State Farm Market Director
Has Many Requests for
Forage From Outside
States, Report Given Out.
Present and Prospective
High Prices for Beef,
Dairy Products, Mutton
and Wool Commands the
Attention of Farmers.

The state farm market department,
through Harvey Alfred, director, Sat
urday sent out to farmers of this state
the advice to hold their hay and buy
cattle and sheep to feed 1t to. The
present high prices of beef mutton,
dairy products, ETC.. indicate that to
feed stock would be very profitable.
1t is also announced by the depart
ment that numerous inquiries have
been received from buyers in the
states of Texas, Montana, Nebraska,
Utah, Oregon and Washington, asking
for hay in the bale. They are willing
to pay $50 t. o. b. for 1T. The depart
ment desires that all growers who have
hay they can bale and wish to sell to
this market to notify 1t Immediately.
An effort is being made to get cars
with which to ship for those desiring
to sell.
SHOULD COMMAND ATTENTION.
The official bulletin of the depart
ment, issued Saturday on the hay sit
uation, is as follows:
in this writing l am going to elm
mate the present thought of
patriotism, or duty to our country
under the present crisis, and briefly
consider the subject at hand from
standpoint of individual profit.
THE present and prospective high
prices for beef. dairy products. mutton
and WOOL should command the atten-
ton Of every thoughtful farmer and
rancher in Idaho. At no time in the
history of our agricultural pursuits
has there been brighter prospect of
large and continued profits than pres
ent conditions offer the careful buyer

dairy stock or sheep, and feeding their
own hay on the farms. My reasons
are briefly these: If the present war
continues six months-and there Is
little hope of it's terminating within
several times six months-the price of
beef, mutton, wool and dairy products
will, II not restricted by government
order continue to advance far beyond
the present price, and should there be
necessity for the governments fixing
a price on these products, that price
will be such that it must be remuner-

FIFTH EPISODE
The Island God Forgot.

In the breathless hush of hat bright
midsummer dawn the island rested
amid still waters like a great yellow
topaz on a field of glowing sapphire.
No land was visible In any quarter,
Yet the mainland was not remote.
Barely an island, little more than an
pvergrown sandbar, a desolate patch
of salt-bitten earth producing no vege-
Ration more valuable than coarse beach
P1ong-shOre seafarers as Limbo Island.
But few If any of these had ever taken
occasion to visit 1t; they knew 1t by

accustomed to shelter mankind, a lit
1ng chosen 1t for their base.
AS the sun rose, so did these simple

from their rude dwellings and went
about their business. Some embarked
In battered craft to draw the nets and
cast the selnes with which they wrest-
ed from the sea an apparently pre-
cariOus livelihood. Others swarmed
upon a little sloop that had come in
overnight to a crude dock that jutted
out into the least exposed harbOr of
the island, and began indu%striously to
empty it's hold of a cargo of many
heavy packing cases. These worked
under the supervision of one who wore
the habit of authority together with
the wreck of what had once been a
Khaki uniform. A solitary %lnhabitant

the too familiar aspect of sea and sky
was eloquent of embittered ennui. His

Had the servant deliberately slapped
h'r face, Donald could have been no
LIRE thunderstruck.
Mrs. Wrenn betrayed no less per-
plexity.

"Miss Patria instructed me to say,
Mrs. Wrenn, she is not at home TO

But, Donald" Mrs. Wrenn insisted,
I'm sure he must have misunderstood.
I'll run up at once and see Patria my
self"
"Please, no, Mrs. Wrenn. Gregory's
an intelligent fellow. Patria is doubt
less out of temper with me for failing
to catch the boat yesterday"
In point of fact, Parr hardly knew
what he was saying or what he heard.
Overriding the objections of Rodney
and his mother, he strobe from the
house, threw himself on the back of
his horse, and rode away in a state OF
daze.
1t needed a long, hard ride to weary
PARIS emotions to seminumbness. He
brought back a horse sadly tagged and
lathered.
Now Donald Parr was never n to
wear his heart on his sleeve. Toward
mid-afternoon he changed to white
fiannels, stiffened his upper lip and
sought the Casino, outwardly a man
with mind serene and carefree temper.
Finding nobody of his circle of ac-
quaintances at the Casino-the hour
was late for lunch, early for afternoon
tea-he fortified himself with a cock
tail and sought surcease of brooding
in that mornings Boston newspaper.
1t seemed at first a needlessly cruel
freak of chance that the very first
news item to meet his eye should be so
strong a reminder of his unhappiness.

Slowly Donald lowered the newspa-
per, a thoughtful furrow creasing his
brows. Anne's words of that morning
came back to him like an echo preg-
nant with significance:
miss Patria amt seemed like her
self since that dreadful affair on the
boat last night! n

Donald's heart like an icy hand. {.
What if the Patria of last night were
not the Patria of today?
That a woman existed so like Patria
In face and form that none could dis
tinguish one from the other, was a fact
too well known to Captain Parr.
Pondering deeply, Donald rose to
leave the Casino and on the way out
came unexpectedly upon a group of
four, seated over cocktails round a lit
tie table. He tried to ignore them, but
this was not permitted. A voice that,
If not the voice of Patria Claiming,
was at least a very c%reditable imita-
ton of it, hailed him.
"Don-Donald Parr! Do come
here -
With the speaker at her table were
Fanny Adair, Baron Huroki and Juan
de Lima.
Suspicion rife in his mind, Parr
bowed over the hand offered him by
the woman who might or might not be
Patria Claiming. To each of the 9th
ers in turn he nodded gravely.
awful jolly to meet you here, Don.
1 do so want you to be the first to
know 1 have promised to marry Senior
de Lima"
To the Mexican, alert to rise with q
brilliant smirk of dissatisfaction and
a proffered hand, Donald bowed pro-
foundly. His own hands remained
clasped behind his back.
Il am happy to be able to congratu-
late Senior De Lima" he said quietly;
and turning, left the Casino.
One more move that would be only
natural in an impostor!
He was firmly persuaded that the
girl to whom he had just been talking
was not the true Patria Claiming.
But how to prove that? How to
avenge that crime which had made
possible the substitution Of this i'm
poster?
Parr set his wits to cope with that
problem. Pending their solution, he
applied himself to the task of keeping

CHANGELING.

About mid-morning, a young man
becomingly attired in riding clothes
surrendered his horse to the care of q
groom and assembled the steps to the
veranda of the Claiming cottage on
the Cliff walk.
In the doorway a footman waited to
greet him with the manner of welcom-
ing an intimate of the household.
Good morning, Captain Parr. It's
a pleasure to see you again, sir"
'Thank you, Gregory. Is Mrs. Wrenn
at homer"
81 believe so, sir"
"And . Miss Channing?"
Miss Patria arrived by boat early
this morning, sir"
"Please say to her, I am waiting for
the ride she promised me :"
Every good, sir"
The footman stepped back into the
house and disappeared. Captain Parr
remained on the veranda, seeming idly
to admire the view, in reality oblivious
of 1t, preoccupied with private consld-
erations of not unpleasant complexion.
Sounds of stified lamentation dis
turbed his mood.
He discovered q pleasant-faced
lady's maid of mature years, forehead
bowed against the newel-post at the
foot of the staircase, weeping loudly
and copiously.
"Why, Annel What's the matter?"
The woman showed a blowsy, tear
stained, writhen countenance.
"Oh, Captain Parr, my hearts
broken! 1 don't know what to do at
all. It's discharged l am, sirI"

his ears.
