ALL CLASS ONE MEN CALLED

The Local Board just received 4
notice from the War Department or
dering them to entrain 10 more men
on about Sept. 3rd.
No 1918 registrant can be inducted
until all class l, 1917 registrants who
are qualified are inducted.
This means that every Class quail
ified 1917 registrants will be indicted
either on Aug. 20 or the first part of
September, so it will be useless for
anyone to ask to be deferred as the
Board has discretion in the matter.

Then comes the county ticket: The
most important of all the officers to
be elected is the office of county COM
missioner. The farmers have nom
mated fine man for the the posi-
ton who is splendidly qualified. He
has served in many minor offices and
IN farmers cooperative enterprises
IN his own community and has never
been found wanting He is known
for his absolute integrity and with
Mf. Anderson in office there will no.
be such scandalous conditions exist
ing as are existing now at the court
house, where the taxpayers money is
1l1tted away as if it were of no more
value than sand in the Sahara desert.
1t would be calamity to the county
to have the present incumbent re-
elected to the office of county COM
missioner. You will make no mis-
take in electing John Anderson, the
farmer of Froid.
Jack Bennett, the present sheriff,
is candidate for reelection. He
has served as sheriff for two terms.
There is not man to be found who
will say that Jack Bennett has not
made a good sheriff The farmers
endorsed him for reelection. He
will be re-nominated and reelected
Mrs. Beatric K. O'Grady of Ray
mond, the farmers candidate for
county auditor is a very genteel lady
With delightful personality. She
is farmers wife, and works on the
farm like the thousands of other
farmers wives in Sheridan county.
During this harvest she has been 50
busy riding the binder that she
has had no time to do much cam
paigning: for labor is scarce and
Uncle Sans boys must be fed this
winter and so must the allies, so this
patriotic woman, in common with
thousands of others have been gar
nering the harvest. While Mrs
can and does feed the
calves and tends the chickens and
milks the cows and helps her hus-
band in the fields when it is neces-
sary, which is often nowadays, she
Is also right there when it comes to
Office work. She has worked as de-
putty in the different offices at the
court house and when she left her
last position at the court house it is
reported that three people were en-
ployed to do the work that she was
doing alone. Mrs. O'Grady is a pi0-
neer in the county and if elected she
will administer the county auditors
office in the efficient manner that it
deserves. No Public Examiner will
have to tell Mrs. O'Grady not to
sign her name to sworn documents
with a rubber stamp and it is safe
bet that she will cut the expense OF
that Office right in halves. Mrs.
o'Grady has no opposition for the
nomination.

HAVE A LESSON IN FRENCH
Family and Friends of Young Indian
apoIis Officer Learn the Meaning
of "Sans Origin"

The son of prominent Indianapolis
business man recently received COM
mission and was called for service in
France, relates the Indianapolis News.
The family and many friends of the
young lieutenant were anxious to learn
of his safe trip across, and the father
received many inquiries about his
sons welfare during the weeks of si-
lence following his departure.
Finally a cablegram was received
and the word was passed around that
the soldier boy had landed safely.
Someone thoughtfully inquired just
where the cablegram came from, and
close inspection of the message re-
vealed what was thought to be either
the port of landing or the headquar-
ters of American troops. 1t was writ
ten plainly enough, across the top sf
the message-"San Sorigin." Specu-
lation was rife; Office associates
brought out aliases maps and encyclo-
pedias were consulted to find out, If
possible, whether the young officer was
near the scene of activities, at a port,
or in the south of France. Finally
someone with a knowledge of French
| spoiled all the fun by informing the
eager group that 'Sans origin" was
the French equivalent to somewhere,
or, literally, without origin. The ca
BILE operator who had copied the mes
sage had merely divided the letters
in the two words at the wrong place

Billy Louise is soreIy troubled

ANIMAL HABITS NOT CHANGED
Sheep Run to the Hills, Hogs Grunt as
a Signal, Dogs Fashion
Their Own Bed.

Sheep, when frightened, always run
to an elevation, because their ances-
tors originally came from the noun
tains. They always follow a leader,
because in the dangerous mountain
passes their ancestors had to go in
single file. Hogs grunt because their
feeding grounds were thick woods,
where they could not see one another,
and sound was necessary to keep them
together.
Dogs have a way of turning around
several times before they lie down.
This looks very foolish now, but when
they were wild things centuries ago,
they slept in the tall grass and turned
around several times to hollow out a
bed, and they have never outgrown
this habit, but to this late day they
will turn around on a rug just as If
they were in the tall grass.
Cats have, perhaps, the most traces
of old ancestral habits. Many times
they do have a trace of the lion OF
tiger very near the surface. Their un.
certain temper, their purring and grow.
| ling, their sudden bounds, their ten
dency to scratch, all come from the
forest and the jung1e.-Indianapo

TIMELY WORK WITH POULTRY
Houses Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned
and Sprayed in Endeavor to
Gel Rid of Parasites.

prepared by the United States Depart
nent of Agriculture.)
Chicken houses should be thoroughly
cleaned and sprayed, and an effort
made to get rid of all mites and lice,
as these pests affect the fertility of
the flock, cause hens to leave their
nest, and kill young chicks. Breeding
stock should be carefully selected and
well housed and fed, in order to insure
large Matching and strong chicks.
Ample nests should be provided for
both the setting hens and the layers.
Care should be taken to protect chicks
from rats and from becoming chilled
as a result of getting wet.
Eggs should be gathered regularly,
whether they are to be used for hatch
ing or are to be sold. The dirty eggs
and the eggs that have been set upon
for one or more days which are sold
to local dealers, result in lower price
to the farmers and are costing them
thousands of dollars month. Sell only
clean fresh eggs and insist that your
neighbors do the same.

pect an answer to his letter-at least
he told himself that he did not-but
one day Phoebe gave him a thin little
letter.
Billy Louise did not write much.
She explained that she could only
scribble line or two while mommie
slept. Mommie was about the same.
She did not think there was anything
Ward could do, and she thanked him
for offering to help. There was moth
ing, she said pathetically, that anybody
could do. Even the doctors did not
seem able to do much except tell her
lies and charge her for them No; she
did not need any money. "Thank you
just the same, Ward" That was about
all. 1t did not sound in the least like
Billy Louise.
| Ward answered the note then and
there and called her Wilhemina-m mine,
which was an awkward name to write
and cost him five minutes of cogitation
over the spelling. But he wanted ii
down on paper where she could see il
and remember how it sounded when he
said it, even if it did look queer. Far
ther along he started to call her Bill

her afterward that he was Buck Olney,

Billy Louise worried good deal aft

the intention OF going to Wards claim

thought changed her purpose. She
dared not leave her mother all day, for
one thing, and for another she could
scarcely warn Ward without letting
him see that she felt he needed warn

PRODUCE WHAT YOU EAT


Prepared by the United States
Department of Agriculture.)
Produce what you eat and eat
what you produce. Whether you
have a 40-foot lot or a 400-acre
fertile farm make it produce
food. With a garden well filled
with vegetables, you can great
ly reduce the cost of living, en-
joy some of the best forms of
food, relieve transportation and
conserve other foods, such as
wheat and meat, which are need
ed for our soldiers. Having a
garden is one way folks who
stay at home can help win the
war.
Farmers Bulletin 937, recent
ly published by the United

the common garden crops. This

went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The doctors team
was hitched to the light buggy he
drove, and the doctor was standing in
the doorway with his square medicine
case in his hand waiting to give her a
few final directions before he left.
He was like so many dOctors-he
seemed to be afraid to tell the whole
truth about his patient. He stuck to
evasive optimism and then neutralized
the reassurances he uttered by empha-
sizing the necessity of being notified if
Mrs. Macdonald showed any symp-
toms of another attack.
Billy Louise ran into her own room,
grabbed a can of talcum and did not
wait to see whether she applied it even
ly to her telTtale eyelids, but dabbed
at them OF the way to her mothers
room.

sponded unconsciously to the stimula-
tion Of Billy Louise's tone. Il couldn't
dig holes with teaspoon, I'm that
weak and useless. Did he say what ii
was, Billy Louise?" The sick are al
ways so curious about their illnesses.
"0h, your lumbago got to scrapping
with your liver. forgot the name he
gave it, but it's nothing to worry
about" Billy Louise had imagination
remember.
Il guess he'd think it was something
to worry about If he had it," her moth
er retorted fretfully, but reassured new
ertheless by the casual manner os Billy
Louise. II believe could eat a little
mite of toast and drink some tea," she
added tentatively.
"And an egg poached soft if you wan
it, nom. Phoebe just brought in thu
eggs" Billy Louise went out humminl
unconcernedly under her breath as i
she had not care beyond the propel
toasting of the bread and brewing O
the tea.

WOOL DEMAND is INCREASING
Production in Peace Times Is Only
About so Per Cent of Amount
Used by Mills.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
WAR has given the sheep and wool
industry stupendous task. The wool
produced in this country furnishes only
about so per cent of the amount used
here by woolen mills in peace times !;
the war has increased the demand for
wool, and of course accentuates our de-
pendence upon supplies from foreign
countries. The war has further in
creased the perplexity of the domestic
situation by making unavailable GER
tain supplies which exist in other parts
of the world. To equip 100000 sol
diers and clothe them for one year
would require the entire quantity of
wool grown annually in this country,
even if it were all suitable for military
use.

He Wrote a Letter to Billy Louise
made Billy Louise cry when she read
it, and he made her say Dear Ward
under her breath and remember how
his hair waved over his left temple
and how he looked when that smile hid
just behind his lips and his eyes, and
he made her forget that she had lost
faith in him. She needed to cry, and
she needed to remember and also tG
forget some things, for life was a hard
dull drab in Boise, with nothing to
tighten it save a vicarious hope that
did not comfort.
Billy Louise was not stupid. She
saw through the vagueness of the doc
tors, and, besides, she was so hungry
for her hills that she felt like beating
the doctors with her fists because they
did nothing to make her mommie well
enough to go home. She grew to hate
the nurse and her neutral cheerfulness

West Viruinia Soil,

Nearly two-thirds of the land area
Of West Virginia is in farms. All
soils are from disintegration of lime
stone, sandstone or mixtures of shales
and clays. The soil is generally fer,
tile and does not wash into gullies,
the land being productive to the tops
of the mountains. Clay soil is found
in some of the higher portions, alluvial
soil in the uplands, and unproductive
sandy soil in the northeast. In the
extreme northeastern counties the soil
is Of rich limestone. West Of the
mountains the broad, fiat hills furnish
grazing for cattle, while the valleys
produce good crops.
