Alien enemies, under the presi-
dents proclamation, may not enter
the prohibited zones under any cir
cumstances, and must move out if
they already have business or resi-
dence places within the 10O-yard
limit. By this strict system of
patrol the government hopes to
eliminate the possibility of enemy
plotters causing fires and explosions
on piers and in water front ware
houses.
The department of justice advises
that the barred zone be marked by
some sort of line and that signs
notifying alien enemies not to pass
be placed at frequent intervals. In
cases of street cars or railroads pass
ing thru the barred districts, Ger
mans will not be permitted to be
aboard, even for continuous passage
Any found within the zone for any
reason whatever will be arrested and
probably interned for the period of
the war. Permits previously granted
to Germans to enter water front
zones are revoked. The restriction,
however, does not apply to public
ferries.

TEXAS TO GET IDAHO ALFALFA

Texas continues to clamor for Ida

state farm markets bureau is prepar-
ing to rush several cars of hay into
that state.
Texas cattle must have hay at

has been advised, and, since the
stock is not in condition to move,

hay in large quantities Immediately.

FLOWER SEEDS FOR YOU

The Republican office has 600
packages of flower seeds very small
packages with just few seeds in
each, and they are for the folks who
want them. OF the $500 families
in the county who take our paper,
there are probably 600 who want to
get a start of vari-colored hollyhocks
and perennial peas, of the giant
kind (not sweet peas), and anyone
who cares enough about them to call
at the office can get package. A
child with written request can get
a package. A person sending in by
letter and enclosing postage, cents,
can get them. Persons making re-
mittances to our office and wishing
seeds sent out with the receipt, will
receive them by merely mentioning
seeds. Don't enclose postage in such
cases. Seeds will be sent only to
those who ask for seeds, and the
first 600 APPLICANTS will be supplied.
Directions for getting the flowers
started will be found elsewhere in
this issue. tt.

have been requested to communicate
with the markets bureau. The hay
is wanted in carload lots.
Texas cattlemen have been advised
that the baled alfalfa will cost them
$40 ton f. o. b. cars in Idaho, while
they can buy alfalfa in the stack for
feeding purposes for SIS ton if
they ship their stock into this state.
There is still much hay in the
southern part of the state, but the
demand for it is active. Utah wants
hay. So do Montana, north Idaho,
Wyoming and Nebraska. In urging
stockmen of other states to winter
their cattle in Idaho the markets
bureau hopes to save the farmers
the necessity of baling their alfalfa.

Why
STUDEBAKER
shows such
ECONO MY
in TIRES

There is one basic reason for Studebaker's remark
able tire economy-the scientific balance of the
Studebaker chassis This is the result of four years
concentrated study of the performance of more than
100000 Studebakers in actual service.
The refnements the improvements suggested by
that study have enabled Studebaker to produce
chassis SO perfectly balanced, with weight SO scien-
tfcaly distributed that Studebaker owners are more
than usually free from tire troubles.
Another reason for Studebaker tire economy is the
LIGHT WEIGHT of the car itself Owing to the
balanced design the use of drop forgings and fine
stees this Studebaker SEVEN passenger car
weighs than the average fve-passenger
automobile.
1t is marvel of lightness and strength.
And the Oversize tires (34x4 on the FOUR and
35x4H on the SIX) materially reduce tire cost.
Let US show you all the features that make the
Studebaker so economical to run.

BALLET GIRLS AIDED BY WAR
New Russian Government Makes II
Possible for Dancer to Enter
Learned Professions.

Russian ballet girls are being per-
mltted to enter the learned profess
sions. A special commission to pre-
pare reforms In the former Imperial"
now state, theaters, has pronounced
for abolition Of the system under
which ballet pupil could never be
anything but a ballet dancer.
At the age Of nine years many girls
entered the ballet school of the Marin
sky theater and spent their chilahood
learning to dance, receiving scarcely
any general education, and were Or
dered to go on the ballet stage. If
they refused they were'excluded from
all except the lowest occupations.
In the future, girls who have passed
through the ballet school will be con-
sidered as having received complete
six-class scholarly schooling, and Will
thus be qualified to matriculate In n
woman's university and become doe
tors, lawyers, engineers and technI-
clans.

TOWEL AND MEDICINE CLOSET.

A good idea for towel and medi-

rooms which have common wall is to
divide the one closet space into thirds
laternlly. The upper thiwl forms the
two shallow medicine closets, back to
back. with a mirrored door in each
bathroom. The other twO-thirds ex-
tend through the depth Of the closet
and are used for towels. Each OF
these divisions opens into one of the
bathrooms.
