divisionists would have much firmer
foundation than In Idaho. Californians
are proud of their varied resources,
for all of them contribute to the glory
and prosperity of the state. Great
mountain ranges divide eastern and
western Washington, eastern and
western oregon, and the chief indus
tries on each side of the divide are
widely different, and this is also true
of eastern and western Montana. If
the difference in industries In north
and south Idaho is a sound reason for
division, the same rule should apply
to other states.
The only difference in the case of
Idaho Is that this state has no direst
railroad connecting the north and
south, but this is problem that con-
fronted other states and will be over
come in Idaho by loyalty to the state
as whole. II the business In sight
is not sufficient to justify the con-
struction of a north and south rail-
road, it Is not because the resources
are not there. ii is because the re-
sources are not developed. The work
for the people of Idaho is not to seek
a division, but rather to give encour-
agement to the development of those
latent resources by the construction
of wagon roads which will in due time

HIGH PRICES TO CONTINUE.

NoCdlllC OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The era Of high prices in the United
States for food and other commodi-
ties is likely to continue for some
time In the future. War conditions
induced the general rise in values, and
after-war conditions are likely to
maintain the high level
Great Britain sees war near enough
its close to be considering the equa-
lions of national debt. of commerce,
and Of Industrial conditions that are
to follow 1t. At the end Of this
month the national debt of Great
Britain will be about nineteen billion
dollars and approximately five billion
dollars OF the war cost has been met
by national taxation.
Lloyd George prophesies that all of
the old standards Of wages and of
commodity prices are to be changed.
The direct burden. Of taxes will be
passed along to commodities and
every purchaser will bear his share
of increased prices.
Marketing agencies in this country
are looking for higher prices during
the present season. Even with a
great crop in 1917, the recession OF
values can not be appreciable. Farm
producers everywhere will risk moth
ing by sowing every available acre
and enlarging their herds to the ut

Love at Seventeen.

Do you remember your first love af-
fair, your first serious one, of course?
You were seventeen when it occurred,
and the object of your affections was
exactly your own age, classmate, in
fact.
And you loved with love that kept
you awake all night and caused you to
dream all day. 1t was an impersonal,
above-the-earth kind of love. 1t set
you apart from your family. IT en-
feebled you mentally and physically.
You did your tasks so inadequately
that your mother despalred and your
father concluded that he was the par
ent of sniveling defective. You were
impervious to insult. You loved to
hear your name coupled with that of
your beloved, and yet-the beloved was
so much too good for you that you
never thought of letting your love pass
your lips. Never did the loved one
dream of your love!
And when you were eighteen you
gazed in wonder at this former object
of your admiration. How could you
ever have imagined you loved anyone
as unattractive, as stupid and altogeth-
err ENJOYABLE as that! So do the years
change us !-Delneator.

shadow; and last summers hat can
be revived to meet this springs need.
That Is the opinion of a most casual
observer. The truth Is that the
changes are more drastic than even
the reporters and prophets felt they
would be. Paris has been insidious
in introducing a silhouette that will
grow as the days lengthen and that
will soon make the gowns of yesterday
look too old-fashioned for even trivial
uses, unless they are altered by a
stzillful hand.
What Is known as the American
uniform was conspicuously lacking
during the first openings in Paris,
but Nine. Paquin, Doeuillet and Ore
coll came out with tailored suits that
met the expectations of the American
buyers.
The Paquin ones were particularly
good, but no one style was emphasized.
Nine. Paquin has always liked the
three-quarter coat and she was the
first person to revive 1t a few years
ago. 1t was then regarded as too old
fashioned for any American woman to
take up, and yet, year after, it was
universal in this country.
The knee-length jackets that the
house Of Paquin showed have the bar
. rel effect between the waist and knee
and are worn over an exceedingly mar
row skirt that is from two to four
inches longer than what the women
have worn over here for two years.
Paquln also revives the redingote
with narrow hem and slender waist
line, but the barrel effect Is given in
the middle. This house also insists
upon the short coat. 1t is made some
what like an old-fashioned basque,
with short peplum that cllngs to
the body, although 1t is cut circular.
Paquln introduced a coat like this last
autumn which was excessively liked
by the women who had turned away
from the long coat, and 1t is probable
that with It's revival for this spring 1t
will gain Roadway before June.
Paquin, like Jenny and Premet, uses

In the
War Zone

"If father We're only here! If only
knew that he were alive and we'll !"
sighed Viola Bliss.
I'VE can only hope, dear. If he is,
fear 1t will be a sad homecoming. He
was caught in the direct war zone in
Belgium, as we know. He wrote that
he had made large investment. If so,
1t must have been loss, for the sec
ton he was in has been totally devas-
tated."
Her loyal fiance, Julian Morse, strove
to comfort her and partially succeeded.
His manner was grave and thoughtful,
however, as he left the Bliss home. He
did not impart to Viola all that he
thought. To his mind, Doctor Bliss had
not only lost his fortune, but his life,
In the mad whirl of war.
Once only since the letter arrived an
nouncing a great investment and an in
tention to return home, had they heard
from him and then indirectly. A box
had been received bearing many for
eign transit tags. No letter arrived to
explain why it was sent. When Viola
came to open it she found six framed
oil paintings. They were mere daubs
and she wondered why her father,
ronnoisseur in matters of art, had sent
them. They were stored in the garnet
and letter expected explaining their
shipment, but none such appeared
Then there had arisen another cCm-
plicatiOn. Doctor Bliss was a virtuoso
IN certain lines. He went abroad regu-
larry, being man of comfortable
means. and took considerable money
with him, usually returning with an
Equities which he resOld to museums
and individuals at a good profit. This
last trip he had mortgaged his home
for large amount, informing Viola
that he had promising speculation in
view which required a large cash out
lay. The mortgage had been made out
In favor Of one Andrew Bayne, a
money lOaner. When the first interest
came due, Bayne visited the Bliss home.

Haven't You Suspected That | Am in
Love With Your"

He met Viola there and was at once
smitten. He was old, penurious, crafty
and Viola disliked him intensely. 1t
was only after several visits that Viola
realized that his smirkings and atten-
tons were the advance couriers of a
proposal of marriage.
"Your father is dead, perhaps" he
told her one day. II must have my
money or you"
"Me" exclaimed Viola in amaze
ment.
Haven't you suspected that am in
love with your" grinned the old skin
flint.
"You-you speak of what is impos-
sible" faltered Viola, and after that,
whenever he called, she had her aunt,
who was the family housekeeper, meet
him.
One day, however, Bayne insisted
that he see Viola personally. He was
ugly to the point of ferocity when she
received him coldly.
az shall proceed to foreclose on the
property unless my interest is paid" he
announced.
II am sorry" fluttered Viola meekly,
"but unless my father returns"
"He will never return" growled
Bayne brutally. "He is dead long since
and you may as well make up your
mind to 1t. See here, you had better
be sensible, unless you want to be a
beggar. I'll give you thirty days to de-
eide to become my wife,"
"That will never bep' affirmed Viola
Indignantly.
'Then shall turn you out in the
streets"
And the thirty days were nearly past,
and, but for the faithful love of Julian,
she would have been crushed utterly.
OF all this Julian was thinking as he
strolled down the village street. He
had problem to solve, he felt, for he
was not in condition financially to
care for a wife as he would have liked
to do.
He paused as he crossed the plat

In homes where there are children
going to school, and where the stock
ing bill Is one Of the big items in the
family expense, great saving can be
made by the following method:
When the stockings have become
worn and darned at the knees, and no
longer look neat, cut the leg from the
foot, below the top Of the shoe, and
turn the worn part to the back Of the
leg, bringing the unworn part to the
