An idea of the possibilities in
raising spuds for the early market,
on the King Hill project, may be
CLEANED from the results obtained
by c. E. Bott on a very small patch.
There was third acre in the patch
and the variety was the Idaho Ru-
raj. grown by A. B. MCGOWAN In the
Pasadena valley last year. From
this acre he got 80 sacks of market
able potatoes. Figuring the sacks
at 120 pounds each and the price
at 8 " cents, which is the price re-
ceived for the most of them, he re-
allied at the rate of s1134 per
acre. He put few sacks in carload
shipments that netted him but $235
per cwt., but even at that figure his
return would have been 1851 per
acre. The land. while it had been
MANFRED and well cared for, was or
iginally hardly up to the average
quality of soil on the tract.-Glenns

The local examining board have
been busy this week at Shoshone ex-
aiming those who have been called
before them for army service. Some
of the boys say the exams are very
searching. but the results In each case
will not be known for at least two
weeks. 1t is stated that there is a
large per cent of the number claim
ing exemptions from one cause or an
other, but these claims have not
been heard as yet. and when they
are finally disposed of. according to
orders from the Provost Marshal,
they will be published, together with
the cause for exemption. Some con-
Germ was at first felt among the aliens
for faer that thy might be called
upon to serve, because they had been
called before the board, but under
the call they had to present them
selves, and upon proof that they
we're aliens. they were permanently
discharged. but of course given per-
mission to remain In the country so
long as they obeyed the laws OF the
land.

Complaint having been received

segregation that he could not get a
sufficient supply of water, especially
during the night. a little investiga-
ton resulted In the arrest at King

not even hold a water right from the

at night, to water his land. This
is quite a serious offense, and the
company proposes to see to II that
this practice is put a stop to at

OF the horrible wrinkles that were such
an eyesore to my daughters, my grand

WIFE NAGGED HIM TOO MUCH
Jarvis Decided to Go Behind Big Can.
mons and Lose Hearing-Now
In Peace.

Synopsis: Jason Jarvits Is home
his carpet slippers reading the papers,
and he loves his wife, Croona, dearly,
but hates to hear her complain OF his
shiftless habits, says the Detroit Free
Press. Now, as she keeps complaining
of them from morning till night, Jar
Wits finds 1t extremely difficult to keep
his mind on his pipe and his paper.
He thinks of spending his time at
club or at movies, but is inherently
such q hOme-loving man that the very
thought is repugnant to him. SO he
stands his wife's accusing flow Of
words until one day something he sees
in the paper (while he is smoking his
pipe) gives him brilliant idea.
Conclusion: "It's true that we are
badly In need Of men to help fire these
new S0-cyllnder cannOns," said Colo
mel Kimmel, In charge of the govern
ment proving grounds at Sdppington.
"But it Is my duty to inform you that
the shock of the firing is extremely
bad for the ears. In fact, 1S men In
the past week have been deafened and
hOnorably discharged with pension"
81 want the job" said Jason Jarvis
firmly.
In three days the drums Of both his
ears were shattered.
Returning home joyously he sub
scribed for dozen extra papers,
bought four more pipes and settled
down to smoke and read contentedly
on his pension, entirely unaware as to
whether his wife WINS talking or nnt

COMMONPLACE MAN AS HE IS
Takes Life Easy, Revels in Small Priv
iIeoes and Regards Own opin-
ions Safe and Sound.

It is restful to be commonplace. It
insures long life and popularity. To
be perfectly commonplace, observes
the Milwaukee News, is to revel in
small privileges and to receive the
homage of small circles.
The truly commonplace person is
snugly self-confident. He is secure in
his job. While he never earns big
money, he is reckoned a safe man in
petty employment. He reads the pa
per and does not understand anything
he reads. But he gives his opinion
freely. Aud his crony, who also is
absolutely ignorant of the subject In
question, mods his head and pronounces
him "a sound man."
The commonplace individual usually
marries a woman with little money.
He frequently owns the home in which
he lives. He otherwise occupies an
apartment exactly like a hundred 9TH
ers even to the India rubber plant.
The commonplace man has an ex-
! cellent digestion. He does not believe
in nerves. Everything he does not do
himself is reckoned peculiar. His days
are absolutely alike. His furnace is
| lighted at the same time every year.
And If the weather has q different
opinion as to the suitable climate to
his own, why it is damned forever by
his remark as to its unreasonable
ness" His family stifle "unseason-
able" sneezes. But to suggest a fire
would be more than their lives would
be worth. AS soon extend an invita-,
ton to the kaiser.

reason or other under the influence of
the Russian, but even now each tribe
keeps to its own particular custom
and religion, and to its own small COM
munity. To illustrate how original and
bizarre is the population of the eau
casus district, 1t may be mentioned
that there are 81 tribes, and that over
100 different languages and dialects
are spoken.
The economic conditions and stand
ards of civilization of this mixed popu-
lation are varied. There are some
places which might be considered high
ly civilized centers of modern culture
and technique, for instance such towns
as Baku, Batoum, Vladikavkas,
Crosby, Ekaterinodar, NOvOrOssisk and
Tiflis. On the other hand, in places
remote from civilization, and in par
ticular in the mountain caves and
passes, life is very primitive.

Stearns Paste is readily obtainable at

Ha, They Have a Clue.

It was left near Desk Sergeant Mo-
ran until Policeman Thomas Galligan,
self-styled "snake expert" agreed TO
take charge of 1t. He opened the
suitcase and also agreed that 1t was
q rattlesnake. The police believe that
the snake and suitcase had been stolen
by the young man who was seen to
flee after opening the suitcase. The
initials 81. B." were on one side Of the
case.
Policeman Galligan and his follow
ers insisted the reptile was RATHER.
An argument was In progress when
Patrol Sergt. Frank Smith, another
"snake expert" entered. The suitcase
was opened and with club the snake
was pulled out on the floor and
Strengthened out. 1t promptly coiled
up again. but otherwise showed no
signs of life.
"It's harmless. I know the name of
this kind of snake but can't think of
il Just now" was the decision of Ser
geant Smith. The snake was placed
back in the suitcase and Is awaiting
its owner.
