A GIRLS FOLLY

I'm sick and tired of this stale
old life," Mary Baker told herself as
she looked at her unsophisticated
country sweetheart, Johnny Apple
baum, and thought of the splendid
man of romance her fancy had con-
jured up. I'D like to 60 away from
it ALL"
Mary's intense desires were soon
fulfilled.
One day Mary was astonished and
terrified by the sig,-t of Indians
crawling toward her through the un'
derbrush. Fear-stricken, she rushed
to her home. Then she saw man
on horseback tumble down a steer
enbankment. Mary rushed to g
crowd of people to tell them what
she had seen.
"Hey, hey" angrily roared the di
rector of a moving picture that wa;
in the making, you've gone ane
spoiled the whole picture.!'
That was the start Of Mary's ad
venture. She became acquainted
with the leading man and to him re
yealed her desire for romance.
"You ought to go into pictures,
the leading man told Mary. "You'e
get plenty of thrills and excitement
and romance in them. You ought *

WHAT WOMEN CAN DO

(From the St Louis Post-Dispatch)
Every American housewife has it
within her power to contribute &C
tual service to her country in the
dark days ahead. She can do her
duty in the kitchen as surely rs her
son can do his duty on the battle
field. While the men and the finan-
cial resources of the country are get
ting modified to fight the common
foe, the housewives can mobilize to
fight waste and extravaganza. Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal to them t.
practice economy is no less impor'
tant than his appeal to men to give
their money and service. AS ths
National League for Women's Ser
vice so aptly puts it:
BY wise marketing and by pre-
venting waste in the preparation
and serving Of food, women car
help feed America and her allies
BY ,rationing themselves and thei1
families, the women of America car
obviate the necessity of govern
men prescribed ration. e
Such a plea is not intended purel!
| for the selfish purpose of pointing
out how women in this country ca,
avoid the discomforts Of WARTIME
life in Europe. It has deep signi
ficance. The great war is more Hike
y to be ended in the worlds skitche,
than in the trenches Of France.

POLICE JURIES ASKED TO SUP.
PLY SCHOOLS WITH CAM
MING OUTFITS

To the Presidents ind Memb ,rs Of
The &c Jur.', cuisianc
Dear F~:ands:
want to ask your assistance in
our food campaign in the way of
conserving the surplus. AS you are
we'll aware, there is great waste Of
fruits and vegetables in our State.
This waste can be saved to a great
extent by canning the surplus. Our
blackberry crop alone, if conserved,
would be an important matter. We
must also save all surplus tomatoes,
sweet corn, okra, beans, peas, Gag
bage Tin the form of kraut), peaches
plumS, etc.
l want to ask that you purchase
and furnish each high or central
school in your parish with canning
outfit; this outfit to be used by the
principal, or someone designated by
him, or her, not only to demonstrate
but to be used in canning the sur
plus fruits and vegetables of the
patrons and neighbors of the school.
This can be done on the toll or per-
centage basis. In this way the party
in charge can make a nice salary as
we'll as show patriotic spirit, and
if you so desire you can demand a
percentage of the toll to compensate
the parish for the expense of the
canning outfits.
In my opinion you will not only
render a great service temporarily
to the people Of your parish, but
you will be giving them practical
education that will be of untold ben
eft in years to come.
Please take this matter up at your
earliest convenience and give ii
earnest consideration.
! Yours truly,
| Harry D. Wilson
Chairman State Food
| Preparedness Commission

RIGHT TO
PROTEST AGAINST
THE COST OF WATER

Nampa, Nov. 22.-Through failure to
avail themselves of their rights to
protest against the assessments made
against them for the cost Of construc-
ton Of the Boise Pay9tte irrigation
project and the subsequent drainage
of their lands by the federal govern
ment upon the date that the Nampa-
Meridian Irrigation district advertised
for tho entry of protests the settlers
of the project residing in the Nampa-
Meridian district have forfeited their
opportunity to protest. This fact has
been developed by the refusal of G..
Harvey Moore of this city. treasurer
of district. refusing to accept pay
ments under protest within the past
three or four days.
Through this development a new
angle is given the fight of the settlers
against the government for reduc-
ton OF the cost of water rights for
their lands. as recently announced by
the secretary Of the interior. Mr..
Moore staes that the assessments were
filed and advertised after their APP
portionment against lands in the dis
trict and that at the time of advertis-
ing last January there was included Il
notice to all settlers that a certain
date had been designated for the
hearing of protests. that upon this
date no protests were filed and that as
a consequence the opportunity for pro
testing has been forfeited by them.
This condition applies only TO those
settlers. having lands under the project
who reside within the Nampa Meridian
district.
Advice TO pay the first payment for
water rights at the time it falls due
the first % next month under protest
was recently given the settlers by ex-
Governor James Fl. Hawley. as their
attorney and the action recommended
was for the purpose Of continuing their
rights to contest the announced cost
for water rights.
