A careful investigation has
brought to light that number Of res
idents of Montpelier and vicinity are
sending away for supplies, q condi-
tion that did not exist prior to Janua-
ry 1st, when the Cash and Carry"
plan was put into effect by the local
merchants under urgent request from
the Government. Further careful In
vestigation reveals the fact that 1t is
impossible to get better prices than
now obtain in Montpelier by sending
TO the mail order houses, and the in
ference is that this diversion of trade
from our own home town must be ac-
tuated to a large extent by spite.
Many OF the merchants here were
loath to take this radical step, and
only did so through q spirit Of pat
riotism, and 1t is certainly unjust OF
the people who make their living in
Montpelier to hold to blame these
merchants. and, in sending away for
their supplies, violate the request and
injunctions OF their own government
that they trade at home. A. 8. Der
rick, travelling representative Of the
Zion City Mercantile Institution in an
interview stated positively that II was
impossible for people in Montpelier
to order stuff from mail order whole
sale houses and lay them down in this
city at the prices that the merchants
are at the present time offering their
goods for over the counter, and he
also says that several lines or goods
cannot be bought in large quantities
for the present Montpelier retail
prices.
This is a bad condition. and those
who are sending their money away
to the detriment of Montpelier and
with no benefit to themselves are
worthy of censure. The following ar
ticle from the Idaho Falls Register
sums up the whole situation thoroly,
and we reprint it for the benefit Of
those who are slackers to the well
fare OF our city.
"It has been reported by the best of
authority. by man in a position to
know. that since the first Of jan, or
since the cash and carry order went
into effect, that many thousands OF
dollars have gone out OF Idaho Falls
for food supplies, and largely BY Ida
no Falls people. Just to what extent
this has been done there is no definite

Marriage or a Career.

A woman writer herself married
and twenty-three years Of age. states
that a a,woman who expects to follow
an intellectual life should marry young
This Is "a sound: view, for the woman
who fully aappratsese the value of her
Intellectual life realizes that the best
years of the mind are those that come
after the age Of most efficient child
bearing. It is a very different view
from that of the young women in pro-
fessions which serve only to bridge the
few brief years between school days
and marriage, and for whom marriage
closes for all time participation in the
worlds work outside of the home,
Clearly we can never have an intel
lectual emancipation in the worlds
work on program that would con6ne
professional life. to the .remarriage

marriage. The first gives too brief a

WHEN ONE IS STRICKEN DEAF
Affiction Accompanied by Depression
Strangely and intensely Over
powering, Says Writer.

r The fnvariable depression that comes
with the beginning Of deafness is
strangely and intensely overpowering.
1t exists sometimes indefinitely. The
word depression, as commonly used,
admits of, varied shades Of meaning,
writes Margaret, Baldwin, In the At
lantic. It all but carries with 1t a
vague impression OF lack Of will-power,
a more or less voluntary Indifference to
moral effect. But let no one suppose
that it's use here indicates any mere
dull, dispirfted outlook on life, or any
other voluntary mental view Of ones
self or ones. future. There is nothing
voluntary about it.
1t is feeling deeply physical as well
as mental-a mingled condition of woe
full sickness and sadness that beggars
description. The distress and shock
over what has happened to one and
the&first experience Of what 1t fs like
Is the initial factor But considering
what fought to be as compared with
the shock of blindness, which, it seems
to me, must be sufficient to- produce
permanent blackest, despair, the de-
preston Of deafness is out of all pro-
portion.

Dislikes of Hens.

"Hens are funny sorts Of creatures"
observes a poultry fancier. '"They
have their likes and dislikes--especial
ly dislikes. If you move hen she
turns crusty, and won't lay eggs. She
likes her old home, and takes an abom-
Unable time to get used to the new.
IF you wave a cloth within sight of
the occupants of your fowl run, you
will hear shocking row. This par:
ticular noise is known as the danger
signal and sometimes will be tndulged
ln without single break for as long
as 20 minutes.
IF you take 1t into your head to re-
arrange the nest boxes, depend upon
1t Biddy will pay you out She will
miss that day with her usual egg,
provided they are good, it's wisest
to stick to old things In pOultry-keep-
Ing, and not to shift them unless ysu
are compelled to do so. At least
there's one thing you can change, and
that's the fodder. Hens won't object
to that at all; in fact, they like It,"

SKELETONS OF STONE AGE
Bones Of Early People Of Japan Show
They Were Six to Seven Feet
In Height.

Fifteen human skeletons were uD-i
earthed in the province of Kawachi,
near Osaka. This is considered the
birthplace of Japanese civilization. OF
the relics of the Japanese stone age,
discovered by Professor Okushi, nine
of the skeletons were in perfect preser-
walton, all bones being intact, East and
West News says. 1t rarely happens,
according to scientific records, that so
many perfect skeletons are discovered
III one place.
Among indications that people Of
that period lived on uncooked food, Is
the fact that upper and lower teeth
are evenly worn down. Decayed teeth
are not found. The bony structure of
the skeletons are massive; shin bones,
In most cases, are somewhat fat. Some
of these skeletons stand seven feet
high; even shorter ones are over SIX
feet! Skeletons were found In q lying
position, with knees drawn up. With
out doubt, these people belonged to
the stone age In Japan-SO,OOO years
ago, at least.
While making the excavation, Stone
implements, earthenware and two cop
per arrOwheads were found. Two white
jade earrings were discovered which
may be Of Chinese origin, and of
much later period. 1t Is thought this
find may establish link between the
stone and bronze ages in prehistoric
Japan. Archeologists hold that 1t
surely indicates the early people of
Japan had intercourse with other parts
of Asia. The earthenware patterns
are not necessarily Ainu; the bones
cannot possibly be those of Anus.
This discovery revolutionizes archeo-
logical theories of prehistoric Japan.
