INCH WINDS TODAY

First Test of Liberty Motor to
Be Made Here
Shortly.
SMITH FLIGHTS THRILL

Because of the high winds prevailing
no attempt at fight was made this
morning by Col. C. l.. Lee of the Brit
ish Royal Flying Corps, according to
announcement by the British aviation
mission. 1t was stated that it is un-
likely any flying will be done today.
even if the wind should abate.
Since arriving in this country the
British pilot has had no serious mis-
hap. Officials of the aviation mission
are determined to keep the record un-
broken.
A new British airplane, similar in design
and power to the one which Col Lee has
used since coming to Washington, reached
the capital this morning from Garden
City, New York, after an uneventful trip.
A stop was made in Baltimore and the
remaining trip to Washington was made
in the teeth of the heavy gale that blew
early today.
The new machine is biplane and will
be used for practice flights in the capital.
1t Is the property of the British aviation
mission.
Within a short time-possibly ten
days-the first public tests of the
much-praised liberty airplane motors
will be made in this city, according
to announcement by Representative
Henry z. Hull Of Iowa, who made a
flight with Col. Lee late yesterday.
Mr.. Hull announced that he had OBJ
tained promise from one of the firms
producing these motors to send an
assembled motor here next week.

Prussian Guard Long Famous.


The history Of the Prussian Guard,
cream of Germany's fighting men,
which was smashed by the headlong
attack of American troops at the Sec
ond Battle of the Marine, dates back
to the latter part of the Seventeenth
Century, when men believed in the
divine rights of kings, and the troops
of the guard could be depended on to
protect the sacred body Of their SOW
ereign when all other supporters fell
away.
The Prussian Guard was once q
company Of archers, known as the
Trabant Guards. 1t was transformed
into a real fighting force by Frederick
William I. Drill with him was ruling
passion and he lavished much atten-
ton on his guard; securing Europe for
giants, as no man under six feet In
height could enter his pet regiment.
This requirement was abolished by
Frederick the Great, who cared only
for fighting ability. The stirring ex-
ample of Napoleon's Imperial Guard
caused the Prussian organization to be
In size, and 1t now comprises
a complete army corps. Into its ranks
60 the cream of each years class Of
Prussian recruits.

ONLY ONE BUSINESS PROPHET
IN BLACKFOOT

James Ryan, manager of the
Golden Rule Mercantile company, is
the only real honest to goodness busi-
ness prophet in Blackfoot this year.
He foretold the kind of business
season the town would have, and
told 1t correctly.
It was back in the good old sum-
mertime that We writer from the
sanctum went out about town and
interviewed twenty-four of the al
legged prophets and near-prophets,
getting their views as to what kind
Of fall trade the town would have,
and then returned to the Office and
dictated from memory what each of
them said, and published it for the
Information Of the long-suffering SUBJ
scribers
All of the wiseQmen who SO gen.
erously responded and gave out their
views ON what the future would
bring, rather expected q good fall
trade for everybody. Most of them
were quite confident about 1t, ex-
cepting Manager Ryan, and he was
not at all optimistic. He all but re-
versed their decisions. He did not
see what there was to justify any
optimism. He looked for a quiet
fall, and buyers sailing close to the
shore.
When the paper came out and
other men read his predictions, they
called him up and called him down,
and asked him what he meant by
talking that way, but he stood pat
and insisted that his vision was still
clear and that they had been smok-
ing hops. Then the flu came along
and backed him in his vision.
And all of this proves that if there
ID one true prophet in the town, The
Idaho Republican will find him and
bring him out.

ALLIES ARE FED !.
BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without In
America Supplied Food
to Europe.

Exports from this country since II
entered the war have kept starvation
from Allied Europe and have main
tanned the health and strength of those
who have been bearing the brunt Of
our battles, so that they could hold
out to victory. Now that hostilities
have ceased we must assume the add
ed burden Of keeping starvation from
increasing Its toll upon the millions
who have been liberated from the
Prussian yoke. Famine would undo
the work which has been accomplished
in freeing the world for democracy. No
stable government can be established
and maintained by q nation harassed
by hunger A starving people turns
to riOting and anarchy. Food has
given strength and courage to the ma
tons fighting for democracy; 1t must
now give the nations strength and
tranquility to re-establish themselves
in freedom and democracy.
Without our help 1t would have been
absolutely impossible for the Allies to
maintain a living ration. Since our
entry into the war we have been con-
tributing largely to the support Of one
hundred and twenty million people
whose normal food supplies have been
cut of, whose production has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, whose
fields have been devastated by Ger
many. The food exported from the
United States in the past year has
been sufficient to supply the complete
ration Of twenty-five million people.
It is hard to grasp the magnitude
and significance Of the assistance
which has been lent the Allies b.; the
patriotic, voluntary service Of the
American people. The food we sent
abroad last year would have been SUI
6cient to feed one-fifth Of our popula-
ton. And this was done in spite of
the fact that we entered the year with
short crops Our surplus was practi-
cally nothing. An overwhelming pro.
portion Of the food that left this coun-
try last year was saved out Of the nor
NAL home consumption Of our own
people.
In spite Of difficulties met in inter-
nal transportation and shortage Of
ocean tonnage our food exports last
year amounted to figure that few
years ago would have been unbelieva-
BILE. Even the most optimistic element
Of our population faced with anxious
the prospect which
opened before us with the beginning
Of the 1917 harvest year.
The American people have not been
compelled to save. They have been
appealed to on the basis of humanity
and of patriotism. They have re-
sponded voluntarily.

REQUISITE HOURS OF SLEEP
Acknowledged Fact That Brain Work.
ers Need Less Than Those En-
gagged in Manual Labor.

Periodic sleeping is undeniably an
essential to the continuance Of life, but
sleep is required more as means Of
recuperation from physical WEAKNESS
than from mental activity, an exchange
observes. The best thinkers are the
shortest sleepers, and on the other
hand the manual laborers require the
longest periods Of sleep. The classic
example cited to prove that the think
er does not need as much sleep as the
ordinary man takes is Thomas A. Edi-
son, who during the most active years
Of his life is said to have slept only
four hours day. 1t is not so general
ly known that Herbert Spencer, the
philosopher, in his later life did not
average more than three hours Of sleep
q day.
These instances should not lead to
ill-advised efforts to emulate the ex-
IRENE examples. One should not at
tempt to do better thinking by keep
ing longer awake, but the effort should
be made to do better thinking, which
will result in keeping longer awake.
For If the body be not fatigued or
drugged with poison, sleep comes chief
ly from the slowing down Of the men-
tai processes until consciousness
iapses. II an adult is not tired or full
of fatigue poisons from physical labor,
or If his system is not otherwise bur
dened with poisons from faulty diet
or overeating, it is possible in many
Instances to Gut down the sleeping
period from 20 to 40 per cent Of that
INDUCED in.

WHEAT SHOWED
SPIRIT OF U. 5.
Sacrifice to Ensure Allied Loaf
Greatest Single Food
Achievement.
SUFFICIENT SUPPLY NOW.
All the Nations Will 1s Able 20 Re-
turn 10 Their Normal Sup
ply OF White
Bread.

OvershadOwing all other accomplish
rnents Of the American people under
the leadership Of Food Administration
IL the history Of wheat exports In the
past sixteen months Our wheat ex-
port program proved conclusively to
the world that America was in this
war from start to finish and willing to
make any sacrifice that will hasten
victory or maintain the health and
strength Of people overseas, upon
whom rested the heaviest weight Of
our war.
Now that pressure on ocean tonnage
10 eased by the stopping Of large move
ments Of troops to Europe we may ~
lax bur efforts to save wheat. The &C.
cumulated surplus In Australia, Argen-
tine and other hitherto inaccessible
markets will become available, and
probably no more than our normal sur
plus will have to leave this country.
We in America and the nations which
have won the world for freedom will
be enabled to eat their normal wheat
loaf at the, common table Of the peo-
pies Of democracy.
We entered the past crop year with
a wheat supply which gave us only
100000 bushels available for ex-
port. When the crop year ended, we
had sent al 100000 bushels Of wheat
to Europe. The American people had
saved out of their normal consumption
l21. 100000 bushels.
A survey of export figures shows
that the conservation Of -four brought
about by the wheatless meals, wheat
less days, substitution in our Kitchens
and bakeries, enabled us to send to
our armies and the allies 33,OOO,OO
barrels Of white four-wheat figured
as flour. Had we exported only our
visible surplus, we would have been
able to ship less than 100000 barrels.
Before the LIST Of December our sur
plus had gone overseas, and an addi-
tional 100000 bushels had been tax
en- from the stock reserved for home
consumption and added to the surplus
shipped to the allies. It SEEM
ed hardly possible that we could bring
our total exports above 1OO,OOOOOO
bushels by July l. But in January the
late Lord Rhondda, then British Food
cabled that unless we
could send an additional 75,OOOOOO
bushels he could not take RESPONSE
bility for assuring his people that they
would be fed. The American people
responded by sending $1,000 900 BUSH
els Of wheat, saved from their home
between the first of the
year and the advent Of the new crop.
By October 10, 1918, we had already
shipped 65,960,305 bushels since July
l. Absolutely the only limitation upon
our wheat exports since the latest har-
vest has been the scarcity Of ocean
II exports continue at the
present rate, by July 1 of next year
we will have sent more than 237 $780,
300 bushels to Europe.
Thus are we making good Americas
pledge that the bread rations Of Allied
Europe shall be maintained.
