them, it is thrilling and refreshins
to hear what our allies think o1
them.
While engaged as an ambulance
driver, transporting injured French
soldiers, Paul G. Osborn, of Mont.
clair, N. j., a Dartmouth graduate
was fatally injured. His body lay
for time in little field chapel at
Chalons, covered with great Ameri.
can flag. On June 26, the day when
the first United States troops were
landing on French soil, the body was
borne to the grave. The French
general spoke these eloquent words
in honor of this young American. :
In the name of the 1874 division
i salute Soldier Osborn, who came
at the outbreak of the war to aid
us to triumph for right, liberty and
justice. In his person salute the
army of the United States, which is
lighting with us. The same ideal
inspires and leads us inward. We
are fighting to save the liberty of
the world.
Soldier Osborn, my thoughts go
out to your parents, who on the
other side of the ocean, will learn
of the grief that has stricken them.
know that words have no power
to lessen mothers sorrow, but
know, too, that the ideal which she
inspired in the heart of her son will
be able if not to dry her tears at
least to transform them, for it is
thru these tears, the tears of all
mothers, of all women, that victory
will come-that victory which will
assure the peace Of the world, which
will be theirs more than any others,
since they will have paid for it with
their hearts. Soldier Osborn, sleep
in the midst of your French COM
rades, fallen gloriously like you.
Sleep on, wrapped in the folds of the
flag and under the shadow

Are you going to back these boys,

This is food conservation week for

This is food conservation week for
Bingham county. George F. Gagon,
county food administrator, is lead
ing the campaign, and is assisted by
the county Woman's Committee
Council of National Defense, of
which Mrs. d. H. Biethan is the
county chairman. Every precinct in
the county is organized and workers
will visit every home in the effort
to preach food conservation. Here
with is reproduced the pledge card
which people will be asked to sign,
signifying intention to join the ma
tion-wide movement to conserve the
country's food supply.
1t has been said that in wartime
there are four great problems
money, munitions and food-and the
greatest of these is food. An army
can fight only as it is kept well fed.
AS the United States Is called upon
to feed not only our own army, but
to a large extent the armies of our
allies as well, the food problem is
of the utmost Importance. There
are 100000 families in the United
States, and if each family will save
a loaf of bread week, or pound
of butter, or pound of sugar, or
consume little less meat, the ag-
gregate saving of the country will
amount to an enormous sum total
and go long ways toward solving
the food problem.
On this plan the campaign is based
and it is the patriotic duty of every
citizel to aid in the work. Every
home in Bingham county should be
pledged to a regular program of food
saving.

Where is little Dorothy Norton
The person who can answer this
question will relieve the minds OF
a frantic father and mother, as well
as the tension which has gripped the
community since it became generally
known that the child had suddenly
disappeared.
Dorothy is the three-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Nor
ton, we'll known residents Of this
city, Mr.. Norton being the mill fore
man at the sugar factory. Yester-
day morning about o'clock the
child left the house to go out to
play. In an hour or so she was
thought was given the matter as the
child had frequently gone next door
to remain several hours with her
aunt, and it was presumed that she
was either there or had gone to
some other neighbor's home. To-
wards noon when the child failed to
return the parents began to feel un-
easy and began search in the
neighborhood, and were later aided
by several neighbors. When this
search failed to reveal the where
abouts of the child general alarm
was given and the whole community
joined the search. Sheriff A. H. Sim
mons and Chief of Police William
Drew were notified and they immedi-
ately organized the 200 or more
volunteers and a systematic hunt
was began. Fearing the child might
in some manner have fallen into the
large irrigation canal north of town,
the canal was thoroly searched for
some distance, but without result.
Meanwhile automobiles were offered
to assist in the hunt and sys-
tematic house to house search was
begun, but without avail. The hunt
for the lost child was continued
thruout the night, but not trace
could be found. Roadways and
bitches and every possible place
where the child might have wan
dered were searched without avail.
Early this morning the fire alarm
was sounded and volunteer searching

LIBERTY LOAN FACTS

Four million people oversub-
scribed the first Liberty loan, apply
ing for three billion dollars or one
billion dollars more than was Of
fered.
If eight million people, or only
8 per cent of our population, sub
scribe the same average amount
apiece for the second Liberty loan,
the subscriptions will reach six bill
lion dollars. According to the terms
Of the offering, four and half bill
lion dollars of subscriptions will
then be accepted.
No greater blow at military Ger
many can now be struck than such
an oversu description. 1t will accom-
plish as much toward ending the war
on proper terms as great military
victory.
In order to reach this figure, it is
necessary to secure subscriptions
from twice as many people as SUBJ
scribed for the first Liberty loan.
1t is also necessary for many sub
scribers to the first Liberty loan to
increase their subscriptions to this
second Liberty loan.
Our country has a mark to reach
in the subscriptions to this loan. It's
minimum is three billion dollars.
Our federal reserve district has a
minimum to reach of $4,000, 900.
Our city has its own minimum and
maximum quotas.
For the pride of his city, for the
honor of the Pacific coast-for the
safety of his country, every citizen
must make his subscription as large
as he can possibly stand.

FROST EXACTS
A HEAVY TOLL
Apples and Potatoes Suffer in Last
Weeks Very Heavy
Freeze

The entire destruction of the APP
pie crop and 25 per cent loss OF
the potato crop is the result of the
hard freeze of last Wednesday night,
reports at hand indicate. -
The freeze came rather uaexpect-
edly and both the fruit and potato
growers were unprepared for cold
weather. The temperature is re-
ported to have been but twelve de-
gress above the zero mark.
According to J. H. Augustine of
Moreland, one of the prominent ap-
pie growers of the valley, the loss
in the apple crop is the heaviest
ever experienced in this part Of the
Snake river valley. Even the winter
apples, such as the Ben Davis va
riety, which has been considered the
standby, did not Withstand the
freeze. According to Mr.. Augustine,
scarcely per cent of the apple crop
had been picked, and as there was
an unusually large crop this year,
the loss is practically total one.
The earlier apples, Of course, had
matured and many of them had been
taken care of, but large portion
Of them has been destroyed.
A. s. Thompson of the Boyle Com
mission company and G. A. MacMann,
the company's representative at
Idaho Falls, made trip thru the po-
tato section Friday and from their
observation estimate the potato loss
at 25 per cent. Mr.. McMann re-
ports that the loss around Idaho
Falls is even greater.
The freeze came at a most mop
perfume time and as result the
fruit and potato growers are the
losers by several thousands Of
dollars.
Many, Of the potatoes that were
frozen in the ground can be saved,
If handled properly, say men who
are interested in the production Of
potatoes. They should be dug at
once, emptied into a big hole, per-
mitted to remain In a cellar that way
for 4S hours, then scooped back into
piles not over three feet high with
timbers or posts set every few feet
SO the air can circulate. Before
marketing they should be sorted over
carefully, when the badly frozen ones
can be thrown out.

parties were again organized and the
in, rtiIl In

parties were again organized and the
search is still in progress.
The last positively seen of Dorothy
was at o'clock Sunday morning,
when she left the home of her par
ents to play, altho it is reported that
a child answering her description
was seen in the neighm0rh ood of the
Red Cross garage about 10 O'Clock.
The disappearance of the child is
a complete mystery, and so far has
baffled solution. The supposition is
that she has either been kidnapped,
or wandered to a canal bank and
has been drowned. 1t is possible
she may have gone as far as the
river, but that is hardly considered
probable. Bands of gypsies were
seen passing thru Blackfoot Sunday
forenoon and the theory held to is
that she has been taken by one of
these. Word has been telephoned
to every town north and south of the
disappearance and the possibility Of
her being picked up by a passing
band of gypsies, and If this should
prove to be the case it Is anticipated
that the child will be recovered.
Dorothy is described as a beauti-
full child, winsome and attractive.
She has dark hair and eyes. When
she left the house she was dressed
in blue gingham dress, wore black
button shoes with black stockings,
and black ribbon was tied in her
hair, which was cut Dutch" style.
She has rosy cheeks and even teeth
and is rather fleshy. She answers
to the name of Dorothy" or
SISTER"
Sheriff Simmons has au thorized a
reward of $3.50 to the person finding
Dorothy Norton, or for the finding
of her body, and any Information or
clew as to her wherea bou is may be
telephoned to him.
