DEATH OF STUDENT
IS UNUSUALLY SAD
YOUNG SOLDIER DIES AFTER
WEEKS OF SUFFERING, NOT
KNOWING MOTHER DEAD

Another death, with unusually sad
features, occurred here today when
Charles S. Wilkins of Blackfoot Ida,
a member of Class B, S. A. T. c., died
at a local hospital after several weeks
of illness. He was taken with in
fluenza which developed complications
and plural abscess formed. He under
went an operation for this two weeks
ago.
His parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Viii
kins of Blackfoot, came here to be with
him and Mrs. Wilkins took i'll and died
suddenly The account of her death
was not published, it being feared that
the news might prove fatal to the
young man. His mothers body was
sent home for burial and he appeared to
be getting better. He took a turn for
the worse few days ago and his fa-
ther returned to Moscow Saturday
The young man died without knowing
that his mother had preceded him.
Mrs. Wilkins body was sent to Poca-
tello for burial and tomorrow Mr.. Will
kins who took the body of his wife
there, will leave Moscow with the body
of the son, who will be buried beside
his mother Moscow people are offer
ing all the assistance and comfort they
can to the doubly bereaved husband and
father, who has lost his wife and son

HOW KAISER BILL

MAN WHO BROUGHT ON WAR

LIVED IN GREAT LUXURY

AMSTERDAM. ~ How Wilhelm
Held Out" is the title of an article
in the Frankfort Volks Stimme by
Wilhelm Carle, a socialist, who dis
covered the boards of provisions
which the former emperor had in his
Berlin palace
SThe quantity" the writer says,
exceeds all expectations. In large
white tiled rooms was everything,
literally everything one can imagine
in foodstuffs. 1t is inconceivabIe
that after four years of war such
huge quantities could be boarded.
There was meat and game in cold
storage, salted provisions in large
cases, white meal in sacks piled to
the roof, thousands of eggs, gigantic
boxes filled with tea, coffee, choco-
late, lard, jelly and jam; hundreds
of sugar loaves and endless stacks
of peas, beans, dried fruits and bis
cults. Their value amounts to sew
eral hundred thousand marks.
"These boarded foodstuffs can not
be better used than to be preserved
as a lasting memorial to our posterity,
which should see how, while millions
in Germany starved, those elected by
the grace of God, held out"

LOW LAND GAN Be
DRAINED CHEAPLY
A. l. NOW TELLS HOW TO CON
STRUCT A GOOD DRAIN AT A
VERY LOW COST

In several of the middle states much
of the most fertile and productive land
now, was, 20 years ago, under water.
Then it was not worth anything and to-
day it brings the most valuable crops
and highest prices The change was
brought about by drainage, mostly
made by laying tiles from open courses
through the lands where the water was
wont to stand
In this northern Idaho country farmers
have been making good money Greatly
more than they deserved) and have re-
fused to notice that they were abusing
their most valuable opportunity.
Quite generally among these smiling
hills where they communicate with the
lower and richer flats and valleys there
are oozy places, bogs and springs which
frequently can not be properly seeded
and when seeded rarely bring salts
factory crops.
Many of the most aspiring and pro-
gressive farmers are seriously aware
that the inefficiency of those wet patches
are too great a loss and would eagerly
and quickly drain them were it not for
the prohibitive price of drain tile in this
country.
It is for this reason that the writer,
who has met this problem here, IS OF
fering the farmers this solution. Make
covered or underground drains by grad
ing them with spirit level to tie depth
they should be- Fix you plug three
feet, six inches long and three or four
or SIX inches in diameter, according to
the capacity of the drain you need. The
plug should be slightly tapered 1or three

More Nurses Needed.


In a report just received the Am
erican Red Cross war council states
that $4,000 nurses have been enrolled
by the department of nursing of the
Red Cross to October 1. More than
1900 of these are serving soldiers
and sailors, half of this number al
ready being on duty overseas with
the army. Seven hundred nurses,
women, have been assigned to the
Federal Public Health bureau or to
the Red Cross service in the United
States, and the remaining $4,000 in
clude those not available or eligible
for active service, but who may be
utilized for home defense work. About
5000 additional nurses will be needed
by the army alone before the first of
the year, according to the report.
