SUGGESTION TO STUDENTS

During the October interim from
school, your time will be worth as
much to your country as the soldiers
in the first line trenches, tho the re-
suit of your neglect of duty would
not spell disaster in the same hour.
The effect of your activity or the
lack of 1t shows later. rt af43aI l.
Try to make arrangements In adj
vance for rendering the greatest pos
sible service, and do not measure
this service entirely by the ready
coin It brings to you. Put the in
terests of your employer and your
country into the equation along with
your own. yak yg 3a .aygI sv
II you have work of your own
to do, try to get it done before the
adjournment of school so you can
work for others. aa1 81 4af5
Soldiers have to drill several,
months before going into actual SER;
vice. You should drill each day
when not in school,, to be getting
physically fit to- hold your own in
the trenches bayoneting sugar beets
and rendering first aid to potatoes,
Our men in the training camps drill
from five to eight hours a day and
study four hours, SO they can be-
effective when they reach actual SER
vice. We hope all of you will make
the most of yourselves, and especial.
ly during the October enterim. Try
carefully to render dependable
service. e..... -s.,t tt

A PROBLEM FOR
IT'S ALL ~

For the past 15 years. people in
Bingham county have at this time
of the season, been deyoting much
energy to preparations for the coun-
ty fair and letting the roads alone.
This year there is no fair to take up
their time, and there is more need
for smooth, solid roads than we have
ever had before because there is
more tonnage to be moved, and the
price of that tonnage is higher than
it has ever been before.
Some years the roads have been in
bad condition, and prices of crops
have been SO low that 1t did not
strike down much value If the crop
remained In the field, but in 1917
every ton failing to get to market
means a personal loss to the individ-
ual and a loss to the nation and the
allies. In 1916 considerable crop
was frozen ~in the ground, and teh
same may happen this year. The
better condition the roads are in, the
quicker and cheaper the crops can
be moved, and the more fall plowing
will be done to add to the values of
next years crops,
1t is about time to have the usual
September showers. What we need
is a soaker, not a gully-washer, and
when it comes, the whole population
ought to turn out as a patriotic duty
and work on the roads, filing in the
holes, mixing or tamping or both,
shoveling or scraping earth up on
the approaches of bridges and Gull
verts, dragging the roads with any
thing that will get the effect of t..le
split-log drag, and doing it all
promptly after the rain comes, not
after the roads begin to get dry
again. g...sa
No appeal that has come to Bing-
ham county from the Red Cross or
from the government for men,
money OF materials carries more sig
nificance than this matter Of repair
ing the roads as soon as they are
for transportation is now
as important as food, and without
transportation to the points where
needed, food has little value in win
ming the war. Y

HOOVER SENDS MESSAGE.
Says We Must Meet Food Problem to
Save Soldiers.

In a special message 10 Missourians
United States Food Administrator
Hoover, at Washington, says:
UNLESS we meet the food problem
Ms becomes the citizens OF a great
democracy, our failure may be respon-
sible for the unnecessary sacrifice OF
our heroic soldiers to whom we owe
our loyal support. The Importance of
food substitution to insure suffL
cient supply of fats, sugar and wheat.
20 meet the needs OF our army and
our allies cannot be overestimated.
There is world shortage in these
vital necessities, that can be met only
through the elimination OF waste, and
the Intelligent substitution of other ar
ticles Of diet, so far as substitution
a. possible"
As to our duty to our soldiers abroad
Mr.. Hoover adds:
"There should be no anxiety in the
minds OF cur loyal soldiers at the front
with reference to the ability OF those
at home. to insure an adequate supply
OF food for their comfort and fighting
"a efficiency. The same holds true with
reference to our allies, who must be
sustained by US until our soldiers are
properly tIained TO meet the rigors OF
war"

Would Crush Italy.

With all the cunning and in
eenuity of which it is capable. the
German high command. using the
Austrian troops and Generals as
mere auxiliaries, launched terrific
blow at Italy. 1t is the same kind
of blow il launched at Paris in the
early days of the war; at Calais, a
little later; at Russia. when Poland
was captured; at Serbia and at Rou
mania, when those countries were
overrun.
What will be the Effect on Italy
we cannot yet determine. The blow
has the double purpose OF putting
strength and courage into Austria
and of putting Italy out of the war.
II may serve the former purpose,
but we do not believe it will &C
complish the latter.
Germany's blow was diverted
when she struck at her princical
rivals in Europe England and
France. 1t went home when she
struck at the smaller nations. Rou.
mania and Serbia. We have seer
e noueh of the Italian fighting &c
feel sure they will prove tougher
foe than the Roumanias or the
Serbs. The probable outcome o.
the new phase of the war will be {
great slaughter Of Italians, Austrian'
and Germans on the Italian front
then another stalemate, and in tn,
spring Germany must meet her I'm
beaten foes. Great Britain, Franc,
and the United States, on the west
ern front.

Milling companies Of the Kansas
City district have been notified by
the milling division of the Hoover
administration that hereafter they
must use 5 per cent durum with
hard wheat. Durum, or what is
commonly known as "macaroni
wheat" has been accommodating
greatly in excess of the hard wheat
and it is for the purpose of main
tanning the balance of the supply
that the use of durum is required
Northwestern districts have been
required to use 10 per cent durum,
which was the original order for the
local district. According to the
general manager of a local mixing
company the addition of durum will
have no effect on white bread or on
the price of -four

When asked for the terms on
which he would turn over his big
eastern assembly factory to the
government for use during the war,
Henry Ford replied, NO terms at
all; Take it" OF course there are
those who will belittle the act with
the remark that he can well afford
it, but it was none the less prince
ly act of loyalty. And it stands out
in such vivid contrast to the actions
and words OF many professedly
royal people that it is especially
noticeable. Mr.. Ford did all in his
power to prev ent this country going
to war, even going so fer as to sub
ject himself to ridicule in his efforts
for peace. Now, however, that his
country is into it, his brains, bis
energy. his resources and we do moi
doubt his life as well if it were re
quired, are at his country's order
OF such stuff are patriots made.

The commodities OF which the world

meats, fats, and sugar. The food prob
lem with us, then, is how may we
pconomize in their use. and how In
diligently substitute for them. Here
are some suggestions prepared by the
federal food experts at Washington,
Out out the list and pass 1t about the
members Of your family.
Wheat--Eat one wheatless meal q
day. substituting corn bread, or other
cereal. Substitute bread made OF
wheat flour and from 10 to 20 per
cent of other cereal products, as pea
nut flour. soy-bean flour, or with po-
fato or sweet potato. Use other cereal
breads, such as rye, corn. oatmeal, KAT
fir and buckwheat bread. Waste no
stale bread. utilizing II for quick
breads, yeast breads. scalloped vege-
tables and buildings and deserts. Cut
the loaf on thetable. Eat more pota-
toes and other vegetables. Omit wheat
breakfast cereals. Serve smaller muf.
eins and rolls.
Meats-Use larger local supply OF
animal foods, such as poultry and eggs,
game In season, fish, skim milk, and
Cottage cheese. Add to this food good
portions OF peas, beans, peanuts. ce
reals, and nuts. Use left over meats
In vegetable soups, stews, goulashes
kravies, creamed meats and chowders
Fats-Avoid frying; boil the food
Cut down the consumption of fats one
third ounce per day for each individ
nal. Render trimmings from beef
pork, mutton and fowl, and use 70
cooking II there is a substantial sur
plus make 1t into soap. Cut down thu
consumption of cream. Use fruit ices
rather than ice cream. Serve smalle
portions of butter. Eat all fats serve,
with meats.
Sugar-Reduce the use Of cakes an
candies and avoid making cake fros
ings. Use little or no sugar on breal
fast cereals. Reduce the use of sof
drinks and leinonades which contai
much sugar. Use food recipes that r,
quire small amounts OF sugar. Us
sirups, as corn strip, apple strip, me
lasses, sorghum and honey, to replac
the ordinary cane or beet sugar. Us
more fruits, both fresh and dried, I
give the desired sweet flavor to tn

Some people may believe that
the war will last for several years
but we have enough faith in the
fighting qualities of the American
soldiers to believe that when they
are ready to move against the
German forces they will smash
things with but little delay. Our
soldiers will be well drilled and
equipped and no one doubts their
courage When the United States
armies move things will happen
and they will happen quick
