War does not make 1t necessity to
curtail dressing to the exclusion Of
dainty frocks for midsummer. The
materials that make them are not
needed by the soldiers. and the boys
certainly like to see their wives and
sweethearts In Hlmy and pretty clothes.
These things look more desirable to
them than ever. 1t Is poor business to
push economy In dress too far-for
N hess must be maintalned-that al
most goes without saying. In the face
Of all Its difficulties French genius has
kept itself occupied turning out ap-
parel to suit the needs-somewha
changed by the war-of its clients.
In the picture above at the right Is
a frock from Lady Duff Gordon. In
which net Is posed over taffeta In a
lovely summer gown. 1t Is trimmed
with very full ruchlngs Of taffeta,
fringed out at the edges, and would be
effective In almost any Of the light col
ors or in cream-colored net over col
or. Turquoise blue and pale green
shades cannot be excelled by any col
ors used with white net for elegant ef-
fects, but 1t is for the wearer to choose
what becomes her most In a color suit
ed to this frock. It Ii not an extrava-
CANT affair and Is suited to dinner or
evening wear.
Pale beige georgette renders a good
account Of itself as an afternoon and
evening frock In the dress at the left
of the picture. Its collar. vestee. cuffs
and bodice ornaments are braided with
silk soutache In the same shade. The
bodice Is cleverly designed In modi-
tisd arrangement Of the surplice front

1.-THE SNAKY PEACE"-AFABLE
BY EUGENE II. BLAKE
Of the VlclIantes.

A snake having invited a tame squir-
rel to play on the ground and enjoy
the fallen acorns, swallowed the little
animal half down before 1t knew what
had happened.
But the squirrel catching Its breath.
twisted around and caught the snakes
neck.
"The squirrel attacked me-" the
snake managed to say to man who
had come up with stick to see what
the trouble was.
'Tet the man decide what Is just"
the squirrel offered, "and we will abide
by it,
The snake objected: II must, as
things stand today, in the name of the
Serpentine Power, decline this court
as prejudiced."
The squirrel asked what the snake
would agree to.
"An intimate meeting for discussion
would be the way to remove the nu-
merous Intentional or unintentional
understanding. Let us crawl into
this hollow log where we can't be an
noyed by outsiders and l VIII cheer
fully dlsgorge and return to the status
quo ante"
Just as soon MS the belllgerer.s had
got out Of sight In the log and the
snake could finish annexing the rest
Of the squirrel. its fangs darted out Of
a knot-hole and sank into the mans
foot.

to plant small areas to Rocky Ford
seed. The result-in 1917 farmers Of
this section sold 20 cars o. cantaloupes
with gross returns Of over $4,000. Re-
ceipts per acre ranged from $3.50 to
$3.50.
The farmers began to appreciate the
value Of their land, started sowing
winter crops, called upon the county
agent concerning silos and began look
ing about for cattle for their farms.
Land that had u slow sale at $25 IN
acre jumped In two years to S75 an
acre. according to report to the United
States department Of agriculture. Not
least important, through the canta-
loupe enterprise the county agent
gained the confidence Of the farmers
Of the entire county In his work for
better farming.

Germany now has p prison camps
where American soldiers captured In
battle are held.
The American Red Cross has ac-
curate information about these camps
and with the aid Of the Swiss Red
Cross keeps our soldiers and sailors
supplied with nourishlng food, new
clothing. soap and other necessaries.
At the beginning OF June there were
about 800 men In uniform In German
prison camps. The American troops
have captured considerably more than
1000 Germans. SO the score is more
than even In that respect.
In Berne, Switzerland, the Ameri-
:an Red Cross has a great warehouse
from which Is sent to each American
prisoner In Germany 20 pounds Of
food every week. Our government
pays for this food and equipment and
the Red Cross sees that 1t reaches the
men. @4
Already there ,are enough supplies
In the Red Cross warehouse ut Berne

lumber!
Junior Red Cross Vacation Work.
Junior Red Cross members will not
cease their efforts during vacation.
While they were In the schools they
could be reached more easily but or
eanization work among the children
has gone so far thut the chapters are
still closely In touch with them and
benefiting vastly BY their help.
At present many chapters are asking
the junior members to help get out
some rush orders for knitted articles.
comfort bags and hospital supplies.
They are doing this In preference to
their regular junior work.
Any Junior Red Cross member who
has lost contact with the Red Cross
organization since school closed should
go to the local chapter headquarters
and offer his or her services.
OF course, any child not now a mem.
ber Of the Junior Red Cross will be
cordially welcomed by the Red Cross

Now this Is the letter l write him
While my heart Ii sick with dread:
you are just where you should be, my
son,
Standing staunch. where your duty led
AT home we are well and happy,
And cheerful. and proud Of our boy,
In this war Of the World-laddie-
A soldier son Is Joy!

And sis wears your pin all the while
While I-well the star on your Service
Flag.
Brings to my lips a SMILE"
And ] write the little nothings,
or home, that are much, when away.
The funny things that have happened,
Throughout my homely day.

Where "over seas"-in the trenches
He will fight till tin victory's won!
Then-going back to my letter
With tear-wet eyes | sign:

Cities Need Rat Defenses.

The city Is the great stronghold of
the rat, Its permanent refuge and It's
last line of defense. The rodents
might be destroyed In all rural dis
trlcts and villages, but If not routed
in the cities the whole country would
soon be repopulated with rats from
these centers of infestatiop.
Old wooden wharves. brick cellars,
extensive lumber yards, ancient facto-
ries. grain elevators, markets and
many other institutions of cities at
tract and harbor rats. As rule the
older the city the more rats are found
In 1t, but even In parts rebuilt after
large fires they are still to be found,
though less abundant. Many large
buildings, rat.proof as to walls and
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through carelessness or
oversight of owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix
lures or merchandise. Fortunately 1t
Is possible to rout the rats from these
hiding places.
The biological survey of the U. s.
department of agriculture recon-
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be made
rat-proof under n rigid system Of in
spection; that all existing buildings
with rat-proof walls and foundations
be made really rat-proof by closing or
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat.proofing re-
pairs be applied voluntarily to all
buildings that need them. Use OF dogs,
cats and traps also may bring benefit.

and georgette makes the short ties that
finish the front.
A very new and promising idea ap-
pears In the pretty dinner frocks of
black net worn over foundations made
of embroidered batiste or embroidered
swiss organdie. Glrdles or sashes Of
black velvet finish them of and ma
lines Is sometimes combined with the
net In bands on skirt and bodice. These
are delightful interpretations Of new
wartime ideas In dinner and evening
gowns.

handkerchief,

II the handkerchlefs are yellow. the
reason Is that they have not been prop
erly washed. To overcome this yellow
color put the handkerchiefs In cold
water, In. which there Is kerosene,
about one teaspoonful to quart. and
a shaving Of good laundry soap. Let
the handkerchiefs boil in this about
three hours. Take them out. dry in
the sun, and they will be snowy white.
This treatment will apply to any linen
or white clothing.

Hats Worn at Weddings.

At one of the weddings. at which
Lord Strathconn's granddaughter was
married. the bridesmaids wore I'M
mense hats of rose chiffon and silver
lace with water lilies resting against
the crown and trailing over the brim.
This may be a good idea for wartime
summer bride over here. At another
big wedding. the bridesmaids wore
coronets of gold leaves-for victory
and from them floated long tu1le wells
of Joffre blue.

Keep the Garden colno.

Don't let the garden loaf after the
crops planted In the spring have been
gathered. Plant new crops for fall
harvesting and get the maximum bene-
fit from your food plot.
In most sections Of the United
States nearly all the common garden
vegetables can be planted early In Au-
gust with plenty Of time for their
maturity before the first killing frost
In the autumn. As late garden creps
which may follow others the following
are suggested:
Beets, Brussels sprouts, late cab.
bage, caullfower. celery, sweet corn,
kale, pens, spinach and turnips.

Construction of the Grangeville-
Whitebird link of the North and South
highway must await the end of the
war, judging from lack of bidding on
the grading work. Bids were to have
been received by the state highway com
mission, in session last week.
When the time arrived for the open
ing of bids, it was found that no bid
for grading had been submitted, the
only bids being for bridge work and
corrugated iron culverts, and these
were returned to the bidders unopened
under resolution presented by Secretary
of State Dougherty that the purpose
of the commission was TO let all con-
tracts at one time.
The roadway was to be constructed
under the provisions of section No. 6

ENTERTAINMENT AT school
Public Reception Held for Grangeville
Teachers.

Teachers of the Grangeville public
schools and the partons of the schools
were afforded pleasant opportunity of
meeting, at a reception held for the
teachers Friday evening in the high
school auditorium, under the auspices
of the churches of Grangeville.
The affair was largely attended, and
after a program, consisting of musical
selections and short addresses, refresh
ment were served and social hour was
enjoyed.
The program included musical selec-
lions by Mrs. M. R. Hattabaugh, Mrs.
John Simon and Mrs. P. M. Granville, a
reading, "The Girl Next Door," by
Miss Genevieve Edmundson; addresses
by Henry Telcher, M. R. Hattabaugh,
Luther Case, the Rev. H.
J. Wood and the Rev. j. A. Pine.

SUBMIT NO BID FOR BUILDING
OF NORTH AND SOUTH HIGHWAY

Of the federal aid project, and may be
taken up at a later date, after con-
sultation by the Idaho commission with
the federal office of public roads.
Lack of bids for the grading work
on the proposed highway was attribut-
ed to present labor and material condi-
tions being ON such an unstable basis.
Contractors did not feel safe in submit
ting bids when the work might not be
completed for the term of year or
more.
Since advertising for bids has been
made, and none has been received for
construction, the highway commission
can proceed to let contracts for the
work, without readvertising, and it is
possible that building of the road may
yet be taken up before the close of the
war.

Close Big Deal for
Mining Property on
South Slope ofHu11p

A mining deal which may mean much
to the future of Idaho county was con-
summated this week in the purchase by
William H. Day, a capitalist, of
Dubuque, Ia, and George J. Bancroft, a
mining engineer, of Denver, Col, from
William BOyce of numerous gold min
ing claims on the south slope of Buffalo
Hump
The deal followed numerous trips of
inspection into the Hump country by
Professor Bancroft and others. The
most recent inspection was made by
Professor Bancroft, in company with
Prof. G. F. TOllman jr., of Leland Stan
ford jr., university, and Philip Duryea,
also of Stanford. They returned Tues
day from the mountains and now are in
Grangeville, as is Mr.. Day.
The deal, which was for consider
alton of So and other valuable con
includes purchase of these

interet in Blue Bell quartz claim, one
fifth interest in War Eagle Placer, one
fourth interest in War Eagle No. .
placer, Robbins mining district
Whether immediate steps will be
taken to develop the property was not
made clear. Mr.. Day today declared
that the buy may prove to be a foolish
one, and that it would be impossible to
do much with the property unless ade-
quate transportation facilities were pro
vided. This would include the build
ing of road suitable for heavy haul
ing, preferably motor transportation.
The claims included in the transfer
are known to be rich in gold, and to
possess other minerals. The purchase
price was not made public.
Though Mr.. Day appears to be not
overly optimistic over the deal, it is
pointed out that mining men always are
reluctant to speak of enterprises in
which they are interested, and Mr.. Day
may have in mind doing much that viii
be of genuine advantage to Idaho
county.

MAY NOW FEED WHEAT
TO LIVESTOCK WHEN
PERMIT IS PROCURED
GRAIN GRADING LESS THAN NO. 3
SUITABLE FOR ANIMAL
CONSUMPTION

Feeding of wheat to livestock has
been prohibited by the U. S. food ad-
ministration for a year or more but
now, in view of the big 1913 wheat crop
IN the country, farmers may feed wheat
to livestock, under certain restrictions.
The food administration ruling recites
that no wheat within hauling distance
of market may be used for feeding, ex-
cept on permit issued by the county
food administrator. To obtain the
Permit the man who wishes to feed wheat
ia livestock must submit to the county
food administrator a 2-pound sample
of the grain in cloth bag, and state
the number of bushels needed for feed
ing, and to what animals it will be fed.
If the wheat grades less than No. 3, a
feeding permit may be issued.
Victor Peterson, county food admins
traitor, points out that persons residing
at an extreme distance from a railroad,
such as in the Salmon river country,
may feed wheat to livestock without
submitting samples or obtaining permit.
