THE THIMBLE INsPIRATIoN.

Woman's Home Companion: One
day an English woman who must
understand her own sex very well
had a beautiful. thrilling inspiration
Perhaps in her strenuous sewing for
the soldiers she had to discard a
punctured silver tRtmble for one of
brass or composition. Perhaps she
just stumbled upon a battered,
forgotten thimble which had served
another generation OF nimbIe An
gers. At any rate, she decided that
probably every home in her town
could boast a thimble. in or out of
service, Now. If all these silver
thimbles were gathered up. sent to
a silversmith, melted and refined,
they would come forth from the pro-
cess-money? Money with which to
buy ambulances and equip hospitals
She began by collecting thimbles
from friends and neighbors Thin
bles came rolling in from every
direction. The richest and the hum
blest sent them. Then there were
women, hundreds of them. who had
no silver thimbles-and were sorry
for it. They wrote, asking whether
they might send other bits Of silver
or gold-an old silver spoon or two,
a napkin ring. cuff link, a watch
charm o1dfashiondd, even bent or
broken, but wrought from the preci-
Gus metal.
! The answer to such queries was
always the same: Nothing too
large, nothing too small"
The heaps Of discarded thimbIes
and trinkets grew. The mint melted
them and then returned them, in
gots of silver and gold. In a year
THE Silver Thimble Fund" was able
to dispense the following splendid

HOW MATURE MUST
CORN BE FOR SEED.

Tests made at the North Dakota
Experiment station indicate that
corn that is in the glazing stage
makes about as good seed corn as
that which Is ripe. Corn in the
dough stage gave a pretty good
termination, but not nearly as good
as that which was more mature:
while corn saved for seed in the
milk stage gave a very small germi-
nation To make seed suitable for
field planting the corn must be at
least in the dough stage, but 1t can
be saved in the milk stage for the
purpose of saving some particular
strain of corn that did not get any
more mature. The more immature
the corn the. harder it is to cure

o. c. Hall, Chester Hall and John
Richter, three we'll known citizens,
we're arrested Monday evening, on a
charge Of opposing the selectiye draft
Postmaster Laird and at least dozen
other informed the sheriff of the o.
position of the Halls, who, it is alleg-
ed were arguing against the constitu-
tionality of the draft law and by their
utterances giving encouragement to
those opposed to the draft. o. c. Hall,
in addition, is said to have branded
President Wilson as a hypOcrite for
having dragged the nation into war
after having won election on a kept
US out of war" issue.
The charge against Richter came
from another source, and is that he
advised a young man residing in the
country not to register, stating that
he (Richter) would refuse to register
if he were within the age limit; and
that if drafted he would go to the
front, but would not shoot. All the
parties deny that they are guilty of
the charges made. They were re-
leased on bonds about $3.50 p. m, sign
ed by Senator L. L. Evans.
Mr.. Richter is the proprietor of a
variety store, and has been a resident
of American Falls and vicinity for
several years, and has always deported
himself as an exemplary citizen. He
is a subscriber TO the Liberty Loan
bonds
Hall brothers are engaged in the
real estate and insurance business
and came here from the Malad valley
o. C. Hall has pronounced socialistiC
ideas but campaigned the county for
President Wilson last fall He is re.
garded as a man given to a weakness
to get into the limelight rather thar
as a dangerous character, or a no
t&riety seeker rather than a traitor.
? Considerable feeling was aroused
by the uuerances alleged to have beei
made by the three men One of th,
members of the Second Idaho resent
ed the reflections of o. G. Hall re-
garding President Wilson and offere,
to disproye them by Marquis o
Queensbury rules, but his offer was
not accepted.

At 1870 this afternoon one hundred
and eighty six men of American Falls
precinct between the ages of q and
30 inclusive, had registered for mill
tary service. The registration offic-
ers have been kept busy from the
opening Of the registration office. hav-
ing scarcely an idle minute. II is es-
timated that the number will be in
creased to from 225 to $50 by the clos
ing hour.
There has not been the least sign
of trouble. On the contrary, every
one has seemed ready and willing to
sign the honor roll in their country's
defense, and those not eligible to reg
istration have shown their earnestness
by donating their time and the use of
cars to haul eligibes to the registra-
tion place.
If Governor Alexander were here he
ewould find "a few politicians"-and
everybody in American Falls comes
under that sgnatiOn-just as busy
as bees, spending all the time neces-
sary to do the business in hand in
observing his proclamation, and the
rest of it in keeping the country's busi-
ness moving.
A good many of us have no sons TO
offer as sacrifices on the altar of our
country, but we are very liberal with
other peoples sons, and Power county
will make a good showing at the close
of the days business.
What reports have been received
from other precincts are that regis
tration is moving along rapidly and
with perfect order.

WHIRLWIND LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN.

The Liberty Loan campaign com

Liberty Loan bonds. With thirty or

judging from the partial reports turn
ed in the days subscriptions, mostly in
small amounts are estimated at
around fifteen thousand doiairs.
The band has been doing its bit ln
