LENDS HOUSE TO DOCTOR
Partisan InstaIIs Rockefeller Institute
Scientist in His Home at
Saint Cloud.

Parfs.-Dr. Alexis Carrel of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re
search of New York was recently seek
ing building at Saint Cloud suitable
for laboratory and workshop near
certain hospital centers. He found the
house he wanted in a park full of
splendid trees. The "Verger" Cor
chard), as the property was called, be-
longed to Andre Bernheim, who had
refused the most tempting offers to
rent it on account of the family SOU
venirs it contained and the art treas
ures.
When Mr.. Bernheim heard Of Doc
tor Carrots wish to lease his house he
said: "Tell Doctor Caryel that-I am
greatly fattered at his choice and that
the Verger and its surroundings are at
his service"
When the question Of rent was
raised Mr.. Bernheim exclaimed: mo,
no, scientist owes nothing to any
body. 1t is I who am honored."

TANKS USED AS SHIELDS
Huns Take Refuge Behind Damaged
Monsters, But Are Driven Out
by Yanks.

Paris-Damaged tanks, abandoned
by the French when the Germans
made their late spring drive, were
used as shields behind which German
machine gunners opposed the Ameri-
cons at various points between Fismes
and Scissors, according to Corp. Royal
Thurver Of Reedsburg, Wis.
"They got behind these old up
turned tanks, a number of which I
saw, and tried to hold us up after we
crossed the Vesle," said Thurver.
"But, of course, it was only ques-
ton Of time until we worked our way
around them and then the German
machine gunners decided they were
through with the war. They invaria-
bly, surrendered"
Thurver was shot in the chest and
arm from machine gun behind one
Of the tanks.

Oakley HALL WILL ACCEPT
OFFICE OF DEPUTY CLERK

Inasmuch as the article signed BY
Homer E. Estes and Adrian Nelson
and published in The Star Mirror OF
October "a, and the Idaho Post OF
October rs, under the caption, "Con-
tinuance of Economical Administra-
ton Assured" in which, in case both
are elected at the coming election
Mr.. Estes agrees to reappoint Mr.
Nelson deputy clerk of the district
court, and Mr.. Nelson agrees to ac-
cept the appointment, was evidently
calculated to create the impression
republican candidates for auditor and
probate judge would mean a greater
saving of money to the county than
would result from the election of the
democratic candidates for these Of
fices, l deem it proper to make the
following statement:
l agree that if elected probate judge
at the coming election | shall be ready
and willing to perform the duties of
deputy clerk of the district court in
addition. Mr.. w. E. Heard, demo-
cratic candidate for auditor and clerk
of the district court has agreed that
if he also is elected he will appoint
me deputy clerk of the district court.
If Mr.. Estes and / are elected it will
be up to him whether he will appoint
me and continue the saving.
The fact that l have been a public
school principal for years, and have
been admitted to practice law in the
supreme court of the state of Idaho,
offer as evidence Of my ability to
perform the duties Of clerk of the
court as we'll as those of probate
judge.
/ shall claim no particular merit
for accepting both offices if elected.
Since one man can do the work, why
pay two for it? I believe any patri-
otto citizen, either democratic or re-
publican, would do the same as mat
ter of course. Furthermore, if elect
ed, | shall not fill the newspapers
with glowing accounts Of the great
saving l am making for the taxpayers.
If any credit is due for the CONSOLE
lation of the two offices, it is to the
BOARD of county commissioners, and
not to the present probate Judge. In
lis case it is merely matter of per-
the duties of two offices for
more pay than he got as deputy clerk
llone.

LIKE HARDEST JOB BEST
In All Ways Woman Is Doing More
Than Her Share to Make World

Paris.-Stenographers may win the
war. At least the last battle of the
Marine which turned the tide against
Germany was won by stenOgraphers,
reasoning along the same lines as were
made famous by the celebrated reel
tai to the effect that "a throne was lost
all for the lack Of a horseshoe NALL"
For If the French say the American
soldiers saved Paris, and the Ameri-
can soldiers say the big war welfare
organizations saved them with hot
chocolate and other supplies when the
commissary couldn't keep up with the
moving troops, the welfare organiza-
tons have said more than once that
the girl clerical workers have more
than once saved the situation.
II sometimes think that this war Is
going to be won by the stenographers,"
is the view Of Miss McCook, head OF
the women's department in Paris.
Are Doing Their All.
Women are doing their all for
democracy's cause by doing every bit
Of work possible, releasing men to

the battle lines, in the service Of the

lean Library association, now Joined
with the Jewish Welfare board and
the War Camp Community service in
the United States war work campaign
for soldier welfare work.
The number Of women workers in
the war zone, aside from the regiments
Of telephone operators and stenog-
raphers sent over by the United States
government, is increasing daily. At
recent counting the Y. M. G. A. had
upward of $50 women workers In
France, the Salvation Army 1910 lass

Y. W. G. A. so, and the A. L. A. 9
dozen librarians. The Red Cross, OF
course, has sent over hundreds Of
nurses.
Seventy-five 'Y' women are in en-
tertainment work, from the ports to
the trenches. Many have performed un-
der shell fire and in expectation of gas
All have endured hardships,
going ankle-deep in mud and rain to

and twenty-seven are doing canteen
work, which means everything from
building fires and cooking to mending
socks. Some of the canteens are Off
GERS clubs where elaborate meals are
served. Others are counters over

cigarettes, chocolate and sandwiches.

AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE
NOBODY WAS INJURED

AS W.. A. Vosburgh, farmer living
six miles west of town, was driving on
Main street this morning Lieutenant
w. c. Bleamaster came down First
street and failed to see Mr.. Vosburg.
The cars collided and MIR. Vosburg, who
was trying to get out of the way, ran
his car onto the sidewalk near the In
wood hotel Lieutenant Bleamaster was
looking at the clock which accounts for
him not seeing Mr.. Vosburgh. The lat
ter's car had fender smashed, but was
not seriously damaged Neither Of the
drivers was hurt. The accident was a
very fortunate one under the circum-
stances to escape with such slight dam
ages.

food is so hard to get we had regu-
lar feast with three kinds of wine,
one was the most celebrated kind that
France produces and served only to
distinguished guests. They told US
it was made by allowing the grapes
to dry on the vines and picking each
grape just when it reached certain
stage. Takes weeks to make it and
wears before it was ready for use and
really it had marvellous taste and
flavor Then we had cheese made
from goats milk and most delicious
conserve made from chestnuts and
figs, lovely ripe figs right off the
tree, besides at least five other cours-
es, for the French serve everything
in courses, usually one thing at
time, completely clearing the table of
everything but the glasses. Wouldn't
that be awful at our house during
harvest?
We drove home thru the mountains
that night, reaching Privas at mid
night. | was glad we have a good

going to wish for two extra hands.
We are going to have Xmas party
