BLAINE DID-ALL CAN

Blaine county has made good or

Blaine is the first county in Idaho
to report the purchase of her full
quota Of $40 per ctpita of war saw.
ings certificates.
Blaine is 100 per cent on her 1918
war record.
What Blaine county Is every
county in Idaho can be.
h The word must be:
l. do not yield the honor of Idaho
at this late hour. Make good"
Until Idaho has bought her full
quota Of war savings certificates the
states record is incomplete.
Shall we end the year dishonored?
Impossible.
At Chateau Thierry, in Argonne
Forest, on a thousand flaming battle
fields Idaho's sons have done their
full duty.
Shall we at uome do less?
Those boys did not hesitate. They
never paused to argue. They did
not yield. In the face of all they
pressed on and on and still on until
the objective and the whole objec-
tive had been achieved
They died.
Hundreds of them died.
Every hamlet, every city, every
country, every mountain valley in
Idaho mourns today for lads who
died for the honor of Idaho.
Will Idaho dishonor their sacri-
flee by failure to keep her just obi
cations with the government that
sent those lads to the battle lines of
Europe?
We dare not think of such thing.
We dare not think of one war OBJ
legation unmet and in the same mo-
ment think of those heroes who sleep
tonight in Flanders fields. We dare
not think of the price they paid and
in that moment think Of 1918 ending
with Idaho's quota of war savings
unbought.
Blaine county made good-our
county can make good.
There is the argument.
1t is time for action. It is time
to do and not talk.
Three weeks more and the OPP
p0rtunlty Will be forever gone.
Blacken Idaho's record with fail
ure on war savings obligations and
the rains of eternity itself cannot
make that record clean again.
Who is responsible?
You are responsible-I'm respon-
sible. No one else.
It is up to you and me.
Every county knows its quota.
America says: BUY that amount.
No more-no less. There is no de-
mand for oversusbcription. Duty
performed is what the nation expects
of Idaho and that is all. But that
America does expect and insist
upon"
Don't let this county be the county
that will cause the state to be
branded with the shameful word:
Stacker"
Blaine county has made good
we can. Will we?

PREVENT FIRE
LOSSES
By the u. S. Department
Of Agriculture

Millions Of dollars worth Of sgri-
cultural wealth is destroyed by IRE
each year In the United States. At
normal prices and with an average
yield II would take the S.eater part Of
the potato crop Of the country to on
set all that il lost annually through
fires on farms. This is q dead loss
to the nation-for the fact that most
individual losers are partially reim-
bursed by insurance does not In the
least reduce the drain on our national
resources-and II Is loss that IL large
~ preventable.
The problem Of fighting or prevent
ing Ore In the country districts Ii q
most serious one. for Organized IRE
prevention work such as has been de-
veioped to q science In many cities 10
practically impossible in the country.
Some fires on farms may be unavoid-
able. but . great many Of them could
be prevented BY Q comparatively small
amount Of time intelligently applied
by the individual farmers In the study
Of conditions which are likely to cause
IRE. and by placing simple and inex-
pensive nre-nghting equipment In con-
venient places about the farm build
ings.
The farmer should study his build
ings and their contents from the point
Of view OF the FIRE inspector Of the
city. whose sole business is to see an
the things that can be done to nm
prove conditions so that IRE cannot
easily start. and TO determine the
best ways Of fighting any fires that
may start. He should remember that
any preventive or protective measures
which he may take are for his own
benefit. and that protection sufficient
to prevent q IRE is cheap a. COM
pared with the loss entailed by the
average farm fire. Every building or
set of buildings has certain points
which are more susceptible to fires
than others. but adequate protection
must be provided for the entire prem
some weakness due to oversight or
neglect will not neutralize the good e.
feet Of all the work previously done.
Most farmers carry IRE insurance
on their buildings and contents sum
Gent partly to repay for any losses
that may occur; but this insurance 10
paid from premiums which are nothing
more than q tax collected from the
poiicyholders for this purpose. The
loss occasioned BY q serious IRE 10
such that very few people can afford
to be without IRE insurance. but At
tention Of the prevention Of IRE
would result In reducing the number
Of fires. and. therefore, the rate Of pre-
miums necessary to cover the IRE
losses. This would be felt quickly in
mutual companies which are owned
and nanaged By the policyholders
themselves and In which the premiums
are fixed By the actual losses.

lies skim milk and good grades Of

Cottage cheese 10 one Of the impor-
larger percentage Of protein (the chief
material for body building) than most
meats and furnishes this material at
q lower cost. In every pound Of cot
tage cheese there 10 about one-fifth Of
q pound Of protein. nearly all Of which
Is digestible. Meats. on the other
hand. usually contain less protein and
besides have a certain waste. such as
bone and other inedibie material. A
pound of cottage cheese daily would
supply all the protein required by the
ordinary adult engaged In a sedentary
occupation.
The following table shows that cot
tage cheese Is much cheaper than
meats In furnishing protein for the
diet
For supplying protein, pound Of
cottage cheese equals:

Capital In Dairy Farming.

Very few people realize the amount
Of money invested in the dairy farms
Of the country. The department Of
agriculture reports that on January
1. 1918. there were 1884. 900 mich
cows on farms In the United States,
and these cows were valued At 81 .643,-
$4,000. Add to this figure the value
Of lands. buildings and machinery
used In dairy farming, and the aggre-
gate is stupendous.
The investment in individual dairy
farms varies considerably. being in
nuenced by land values. the number
and kind Of buildings. and the quality
Of the cattle kept. A modern dairy
Of 50 cows. capable Of producing
daily average Of 500 quarts Of milk.
would require an investment In equip
ment Of approximately $4,000. This

In the handling Of fOodstuffs the

additional labor by some one. The

q complaint Is likely to be based on q
lack of understanding Of the many
difficult steps involved in the modern
system Of distributing milk.
Up Before Daybreak.
Way OF in the country somewhere,
perhaps as far as 200 miles, some
farmer must rise, before daybreak to
feed and milk his cows. The milk
must be carefully cooled to keep II
sweet. and must then be hauled for
several miles over sometimes almost
impossible roads to the railroad.
Long Haul to City.

city where the milk Is carried on big
trucks to the dealers plant. There 1t
