The time is now ripe to insist upon
food-conservation of a character
not to threaten the growth of chill

of health of adults. There is nobetter
way to accomplish this than to cease
trying to conserve cereal foods by
mixing other acid things with them.
We should know the materials which
are added are slightly alkaline as a

STYLES FOE SCHOOL GIRLS

NEW YORK, January 81 The
"jeune file" is playing her part as
well these days as her older sister.
She, too, has her charities and war
eeonmies, and she, too, has a most
difficult question to decide for herself.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1918-01-31
other things that she would not hes

other things that she would not hes
itate to buy in normal times. Really
it is most puzzling; on the other hand
| she hears arguments that convince
her how unpatriotic she is to even
think of new frocks and furbelows
when the times are SO dark and
grievous. Indeed, new frocks are a
disgrace; she must wear the oldest
things she has, and the frumpier she
| is-the better! On the other hand,
she hears sad tales of unfortunates
/ thrown out of work, and starving,
because tire is such sudden stop
put to all buying, extravagant or
otherwise. So, she decides to do her
bit, and buy new things, in moder-
alton. Who can tell how right or
wrong she is?
For Miss Out-Of- Doors
For the girl who is athletic, whose
strenuous life includes walks out of
doors, skating and perhaps gymn-
asium, the simple dress, devoid of
trimming, is best. The always-favor-
ed sailor suit is the best model to
choose, change it as you will. The
one illustrated here is true to type;
there is the wide sailor collar, the
braid on sleeve and collar, but the de-
tails may be as different as you please.
The yoke on the waist an dthe skirt
may be omitted. This dress saves
material, for the skirt gored instead
Of being pleated.
When Trimming Takes Frensh Leave
The girl in her early teens is hard
on her clothes, and usually dislikes to
think of them at all. Later on, of
course, she more than makes up for
lost time! The other day | saw a
charming little model, dark green
crepe de Chine, unrelieved by any
trimming TIL collar was shallow
square, giving the straight-across eff
feet without being SO reality, for the
neck outline was rounded slightly. At
tn waistline tiny tucks, an eight of an
inch wide, perhaps, ran up and down,
four inches apart and four inches
high, giving the necessary fullness to
both the waist and the skirt where
the tucks ended. Then other tucks
ran around the waist, and the result
was plaid belt Of tucks! The three
quarter sleeves were finished off in
the same way, and at the lower edge
the skirt was drawn in likewise, not
enough for one to say "hobbel', but
enough to give the fashionable mar
row effect to the skirt. 1t was care
fully explained to me that this was a
French model, though so essentially
appropriate for the American maid
Fashions Sash and Girdle
The shops are full of them, these
aids to modish silhouettes. Perhaps
it is the influence of the East, where
wondrous widths of silk are draped a
round the waists of the men and
women. Anyway, they are here, in
all their loveliness. Roman striped
silk ribbonwith fringe six inches
long, adds a distinctive touch to the
somber-hued dress Of crepe de Chine
or Georgette crepe. One interesting
girdle was of suede cloth, five inches |
wide, stiffned ohold it's shape; pass
ing around the waist, it crossed in the
front, and slipped through wide
slashes oneither side, where huge but
tons and long silken tassels gave the
finishing touches,

GENESEE FARMER MAKES A
LONG AUTOMOBILE TRIP

w. A. Vohburgh of Genesee has
just returned from long trip by
automobile covering more than 1900
miles. He went to Lamona, Alberta,
using three days in making the drive,
a distance of $40 miles, and came back
another road, distance Of about 700
miles, using four days for the return
rip. He drove a thew Oldsmobile,
bough from the Idaho garage, and
had no trouble beyond two punctures
on the entire trip. He says he
averaged % miles to the gallon of
gasoline. He returned via Glazier
National park, and had to ship 80
miles, over which there was no road
at all. Mr.. Vosburgh says the grain
crop in the part of Montana through
which he travelled has been entirely
burnt up. In Canada the grain is
about like in the Palouse district, but
needs rain badly. He says the best
grain he saw on the, entire trip was
in Spokane county.

AMENDMENT BY B. |.
FRENCH ADOPTED
HOUSE ADOPTS BILL CARRYING
100000 APPROPRIATION FOR
IRRIGATION

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The house
of representatives today concurred in
he amendment proposed by the con-
ferees of house and senate on the
sundry civil appropriation bill, which
inserts in the bill the principle of the
amendment offered by Representative
French in the house into providing for
an investigation by the reclamation
service of reclamation by drainage of
lands outside existing reclamation
projects and of reclamation and prepa-
ration for cultivation of cut-over tim
Der lands in any of the states.
The item carries an appropriation of
100000.
Mr.. French regards this as an inn
portant provision, and under it be-
lieves that much valuable work may
be done in the northern part of Idaho,
especially where the lands along sew
eral rivers need drainage and where
large areas of cut-over lands need
further attention looking to their
preparation for cultivation.

SHERIFF CAMPBELL M A KES
TRIP TO HOODOO FOR MAN
WANTED IN ARIZONA

Prompt and efficient work was
done by Sheriff Campbell yesterday
in locating and bringing to Moscow,
George Edwards, wanted for alleged
desertion in Arizona. The sheriff re-
ceived a telegram from Arizona
stating that Edwards was wanted for
desertion for failing to entrain on
May "a, and saying he was believed
to be near Harvard, Idaho. Sheriff
Campbell started at once by automo-
bile, found his man, brought him to
Moscow and he will be sent to join
the army at Camp Lewis.
Edwards gives a good account of
himself and will not be treated as a
deserter. He has been travelling
around, working at various places and
had written two weeks ago to his
local board asking if he was wanted.
But before the letter reached its des-
tination he had been called and not
having received the call, was posted
as a deserter He expressed will

Edwards has been supporting a

husband is in the trenches in France.
He says he has not tried to evade his
duty and expressed willingness to
enter the service. He accompanied

The man had been haul
ing lumber from a sawmill in the
Hoodoe district to Harvard, with a

The local board took up his case
and found that his delinquency was
not wilful and wired to Arizona for
his induction papers. When these
reach here he will be sent to Camp

BIG AUTOMOBILE
TRKES A TUMBLE
MIX CAR, HEAVILY LOADED, UP
SETS ON MOSCOW NOUN
TAIN-NO ONE HURT

An automobile accident in which the
five occupants Of the big car escaped
without injury and the car was little
damaged, occurred on Moscow noun
tain yesterday when the big eight cyl
inder Oldsmobile driven by Frank
Mix, Jr., turned on it's side on the
steep mountain road. The escape Of
the occupants of the car from death
or serious injury seems almost mirac-
ulous.
The Mix family had secured the
Asprey cabin for the day, intending
to have family picnic. Frank Mix
started out with the first load, having
his father, his wife, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Chepillod; Mr. and Mrs. w. Marsh
and Miss Amelia Dearing. When they
came to the forks of the road on the
mountainside they took the wrong
road, going toward the old Sikko
Bargehoorn cabin. This road is too
steep for an automobile and the car
could not make the grade with its
heavy lad. Messrs. March and CHR
paloyd got out and Mr.. Mix started
up with the lighter load, but could not
make it and the brakes would not
hold. The heavy car started down the
grade backward pulling against the
engine and with all brakes set. Mr..
Mix steered it into the bank and it
turned over on it's side. Then the
party was we'll named, for it was
really "Mix" with six grown per-
sons, ice cream freezers, lunch baskets
and all kinds of articles were piled in
a conglomerated mess. The car lit on
its side, but did not turn over, and to
this fact is due he escape of he occu-
pants from death or serious injury.
Help soon arrived and the occupants
of the car were released, and the car
righted. 1t was found that none Of
them were injured seriously. Mrs.
Marsh was bruised painfully, but was
able to walk a quarter of mile to
he Aspray cabin The windshield of
the car was broken and the top torn.
Otherwise the car was uninjured, and
when it was turned right side up it
made the heavy grade to the Asprey
cabin without difficulty.
Miss Dearing summoned help from
Moscow by telephone, but before this
le1p arrived the car was in the road
and the party had reached the Asprey |
cabin, where they spent pleasant day |
N celebration and thanksgiving for
heir miraculous escape.

DIR. |. r. BOYD ENTERTAINS
AN OLD BOYHOOD FRIEND

DR.. l. R. Boyd had a pleasant sur
prise as result of the Chautauqua,
when he found that one of the lectur-
ers is an old boyhood friend whom he
had not seen for 18 years. Charles
Crawford Gorst, the noted naturalist
and student of bird life, who lectured
at the Chautauqua, lived just across
the alley from DR.. Boyd when they
were boys and they spent many happy
days together. While in Moscow Mr..
Gorst was the guest of DR.. Boyd,
and the two old pals had a fine time
renewing the acquaintance of past
years. 1t had been 18 years since they
last met, and during that time Mr..
Gorst has gained national reputa-
tion as naturalist and is known as
ssthe birdman." His lecture was full
of interesting information about the
feathered songsters of the woods and
fields.

By a surprise attack on the Ger
man lines, planned especially as a
celebration of American independence
day, Australian troops took the vii
lage of Hamel, east Of Amiens, occu-
pied Waire and Hamel woods, south
of the village, and captured more
than 1900 prisoners. The Australians
advanced under the cover Of smoke
barrage and were led by tanks in the
fbreaking of the enemy's line over a
front of more than four miles. The
attack penetrated a mile and half
into the Germna positions.
The British war office has an
'nounced Americans participated. This
is the first time they have appeared
in this part of the line.
French Also in Attack
The French struck savagely last
Wednesday night, cutting the enemy
ranks near Autreches, south OF Moul-
in-Sous- -Touvent, where on Tuesday
night they won local success and
captured prisoners. Here the Ger
mans lost 1,O66 prisoners.
In both oprations the allies have
improved their positions by gaining
rather high ground which can be
readily defended.
Italian Advance Continues
At the same time that the British,
French and Americans were attack
ing, the Italians continued to advance
in the area near the mouth of the
Piave. Scattered machine gun en-
placements have been cleaned out,
while light boats from the Italian
havy have entered the lagoons on the
left flank of the Austrian armies and
have given valuable assistance to the
land forces. The Italians also have
won ground in the San Lorenzo val

ley, east of the Brenta river.
Americans Hold Captured Ground


Americans Hold Captured Ground
German attemps to drive American
forces from their positions at Vaux,
west of Chateau Thierry, seem to have
failed utterly. There have been no
further reports of desperate German
efforts to regain the line from which
they were unceremoniously ousted by
the Americans Tuesday night.
Fighting in Russia
Fighting between the German So
Wet forces and the peasantry is re-
ported from Kekaterinburg, the city
in eastern Russia, where the main
line of the trans Siberian railroad is
joined by the branches Of the road
running to north and south Russia.
1t was reported recently that the
Czecho-Slovak troops were in control
of Yekaterinburg and it is said that
an army of 100000 peasants, well
armed, has been formed there.
Sultan of Turkey Dead
Announcement is made that Mo-
hammed V, sultan of Turkey, died
Wednesday night. The heir to the
throne is Yusseff Izzeduno, counsin of
the deceased sultan and son of the
late sultan, Abdul Aziz.
All Celebrate Fourth
In all the allied countries and their
colonies the American independence
day was observed in an unprecedent-
ed manner. South American nations,
three of which had declared the day
a national holiday, participated in
what was virtually a world wide
demonstration in commemoration of
American independence.
