FOR five DAYS
Nearly One Hundred Fine
Cars to Be Exhibited at
the Second Annual State

ranged to Help Make
Things Merry at South

S(Capital News Special News Service.)
Idaho Falls. Sept. 29.-The second
annual state automobile show, to be
held this year in Idaho Falls, will open
next Tuesday morning and will con-
tinue for five days. Conducted under
the auspices of the Idaho Falls Auto
mobile Dealers association, and with
the sanction Of the Idaho State Auto
mobile Dealers association. those In
charge declare the exposition will be
the greatest event ever held in motor
ing annals Of the intermountsin coun-
try.
The handsome, new $4,000 Browning
garage, Just completed, will serve as
the home Of the auto show and will
afford ample room for the display Of
nearly 100 Of the finest pleasure and
commercial cars ever brought to this
,section for display. Most of these cars
are arriving direct from the factory
and will be in charge Of factory ex-
perts, who will remain here during
the show to make demonstrations and
explain the mechanism of their ma
chimes.
WEEK OF ENTERTAINMENT.
In addition to the display of cars
itself, the management has arranged
for a program of entertainment that
eeems to assure a week Of lively fun.
Spanish troubadours, ukelele dancing
girls and cabaret entertainers have
been engaged to make things merry.
Two fine quartets will give vocal pro-
grams every afternoon and evening;
the Idaho Falls Club of Commerce
band will whoop things UP in parades
and a fine orchestra will be at the
Show to render dancing music so that
spectators who enjoy tripping the light
fantastic can do SO to their hearts
content. 1t is planned that there shall
not be a dull moment during the
entire week, and judging by the prep
arations, these plans will not miscarry.
The Idaho Falls dealers have proven
themselves indispensable as boosters.
Accompanied by the band and two
quartets, and travelling more than 100
strong, they have taken excursions to
all parts of southeastern Idaho to her
aid the show and the success of these
trips is shown by the assurances which
crowds arranging to take in the show
next week.
The show will open next Tuesday
morning with a big parade and will
close next Saturday with a Mardi Gras
celebration, in which thousands are ex-
pected to participate.

SAYS THE FARMERS
WILL LOSE MONEY

st. Paul. Sept. 29.--Northwest farm
ers will get only $3.50 a bushel for
wheat which cost $4.0s to grow. accord
ing to figures compiled by President A
G. Townley Of the national Non Parti-
san league here today.
1t was his answer to charges that
farmers are ''profiteerlng' and de-
handing higher wheat prices. Town
ley said few farmers would get the
1920 price set b. the government, as
practically none of their wheat would
grade number one and transportation
charges to Chicago are deducted
bringing the price down to $3.50 for
many farmers in the northwest.
'In North Dakota the average WELD
for acreage sown will not be over six
bushels per acre." Townley declared
1.-THE cost o.. an acre wheat crop this
year will be s24.41, according to fig
ures compiled by crop experts, max

THE WASTE BASKET

These are some kinds of paper to
save:
White clippings and shavings from
book papers, bond papers, ledger pa
pers, and writing papers are especially
valuable, and a steady demand for such
material is always found.
White and colored writing papers
are suitable for manufacture into many
other grades after the ink and coloring
matters are removed.
Clean wrapping papers of all kinds are
valuable for manufacture into similar
grades.
Old Books, magazines, periodicals,
account books, etc., can be manufac-
tured. into book papers Of excellent
quality. All material Of this kind
that is saved is of direct benefit to the
forests Of the country, as magazines
and book papers are very largely made
from wood pulp:

AMERICAN HEROES ABROAD

When the history of the great War
is written, one Of it's brightest pages
will tell the story of the American
Ambulance in France. Quite without
any remuneration except the saisfac-
ton of word done we'll in the cause of
humanity, two or three hundred young
American men have. been risking their
lives in the rescue of wounded soldiers
One Of these young men, Mr.. Howard
Hare Powell, of Newport, R. l., writes
in Harper g Bazaar for February: When
the impulse first gripped me to: come
over here, I had been led to expect
that I would fetch up in crew Of
swashbuckling, devirmay-c care adven-
lures. Instead, I found men I had
known at school and college, and a lot
of other young Americans like those
one meets anywhere. -.
Young Mr.. Powell has for the past
year been attached to Section Two Of
the American Ambulance, with head
quarters at the bloodiest spot in the
world-Verdun. Day after day last
year the tide of battle flowed back and
forth; a hundred battles as desperate
and bloody as Waterloo or Gettysburg
were fought at Verdun last Summer.
And every night, the young American
drivers Of ambulances came up to the
trenches under fire to: save the wound
ed soldiers. Several of these Ameri-
cans have lost their lives; others have
received, for valor, the highest decora-
bestow.

Hooks are all right if you know how
to handle them. Some hooks are gen
