FEW BIRDS SING IN AUGUST
Mldseason Month Noticeable for the
Absence Of Music From Natures
| Eeathored Creatures.

Once upon a time when we had
something to say about August we
spoke on it as natures silent month,
remarks the Terre Haute Star. Al
most instantly we were reprOved by
readers who said that in August the
iocusts and some dozens CT their kin
made the month noisy, If not musical.
Confessedly, when we wrote Of Au-
gust as the silent month, we were
thinking Of birds, not bugs.
I The song sparrow. the red-eyed
yireO and sometimes the Ovenbird try
to take from August its value as
synonym for silence, but Of what ac-
count is the music Of three when their
thousand fellows refuse to sing?
j August Is the melting month and
melting is a painful process. The
birds do not feel like singing, and,
mostly, they do not sing, but it is high
" probable that they would not, even
If nature were not insisting on a
change Of feathers. The reason is that
the season is late. Housekeeping was
pushed forward because roofs were
likely to leak. f.. a - g.,
August, however, for its main part,
will hold its silent record. 1t Is the
srnidseasOn and it shows forth together
some of the beauties of summer and
of fall. The belated rose blossoms
with the early aster and the goldenrod
stands between. August has neither
the full glory Of burning July nor OF
cool September. but 1t shares in some
small part of the glories Of each.

Here Is n new word for the English

II Ia ''aquaalrplnne," and II Is
meant to denote the craft which trav-

The new word Is built on the old

CLOVER BULLETIN
FOR DISTRIBUTION
EXPERIMENT STATION ISSUES
IMPORTANT WORK ON THE
DESTRUCTIVE APHIS

The experiment station staff OF the
agricultural college Of the University OF
Idaho, has been working on the prob
lem of destroying the clover aphis, which
has done enormous damage to the Glow
er crops of southern Idaho i'll past
years. The work during the past sea
son has been highly satisfactory and it
is believed that remedy for the aphis
has been discovered Professor Ralph
H. Smith, assistant entomologist of the
agricultural college, who has been work.
ing on this problem, has just issued a
bulletin for general distribution, which
treats the subject, shows the damage
done, the methods used in combating
the aphis and the success attained.
Twelve thousand copies of the bull
letin, known as Bulletin liz" have been
printed and will be ready for distribu-
ton next week The bulletin shows that
$1,5OO,0O0 worth of clover has been de-
stroyed by the aphis in Idaho in the
past four years and that its ravages
have caused a reduction of rs per cent
in the acreage of red clover and 90 per
cent in the acreage of alsike clover i'll
that period.
The bulletin deals with the aphis from
the laying of the eggs to its maturity and
death and shows how it can be destroyed
and its ravages stopped. 1t is believed
by the staff that if the directions given
in the bulletin are closely followed that
the red and a1silSe clover crops of Idaho
may be saved, but that if the aphis were
permitted to go on as it has in the past
four years, these crops would be entirely
destroyed in the aphis infected dis
tricts

TIONS FOR LONG TIME
METHODIST WILL HELP

A serious shortage of food threat
ems all Switzerland, according to a
communication received by the joint
Centenary committee of the Methodist
Episcopal church from Bishop John
l.. Nuelsen, stationed at Zurich. "a
week ago the salaries of all the state
and city officials in Zurich who re-
ceived less than-Fr. 5000 were in
creased 110 per cent" declared Bishop
Nuelsen. ''This measure was sub
mitted to a popular vote and was
adopted by a large majority. The
public discussion preceding the vote
was very Illuminating. 1t was proved
by figures that the living expenses
have gone up more than 100 per cent
1t is exceedingly difficult for our min
listers to make both ends meet, even
by practicing the most stringent
economies.
almost all the necessities of life
are rationed and the rations are very
small. Some things cannot be pro-
cured at all We receive now only a
little more than a quarter of pound
of butter per person a month and
not quite pound of oil or fat. The
sugar ration is only one pound Ce-
reals cannot be bought at any price"
Despite the unsettled social and
economic conditions, Bishop Nuelsen
reports that there has been a decided
increase in the Methodist church
membership and that the finances of
the denomination are in fair shape.
Bishop Nuelsen has asked the Metho-
dist Episcopal war council for $780,
600 to be used in immediate relief
work. A delegation of bishops and
other church leaders, which has sailed
of Switzerland in connection with
those of the warning countries. APP
proximately $2,5OO,O0O of the $5,OO0,-
900 reconstruction budget to be sent
by the Methodist Episcopal church in
1919 will go toward relieving distress
in Europe.

POSITIONS FOR

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE ASKS CO.
OPERATION OF EVERYBODY
TO SECURE PLACES

BQISE.=The decks have been cleared
to put into force and effect in the state
of Idaho the rehabilitation program OF
the government by which returning sol
diers and sailors may be given employ
ment. Final action was taken on the
program following the receipt OF in
structions by the state council OF de-
fense from the Council of National De-
fense, at a meeting of the executive
committee held here this week Pres
ent at this conference besides the MEM
bers of the committee were Federal
Labor Commissioner NJ J. Kerr of St.
Anthony, E. H. Hasbrouck, county
commissioner, and Captain P. w. Mas
ters of Camp Lewis, who will direct
the men from that cantonment to their
homes in this state, when notified OF the
employment open to them.
]. T. Pence, chairman of the state
council, was authorized to issue state
ment to county councils of defense,
which was approved by the executive
committee, showing the plan to be fol-
lowed. This statement is in part as
follows:
"The National Council of Defense
has worked out program and forward
ed the same to the several state coun-
cils of defense for the establishment OF
bureaus for returning soldiers and sail
ors and other war workers.
'The respective state councils OF de-
fense, through their various organlza-
tons. have been called upon to assist
in the immediate prosecution OF the plan.
"The U. S. Employment Service is
the official governmental organization
charged with the duty of helping find
positions for returning soldiers and
sailors, as we'll as war workers and
others
"It therefore becomes important that
the county councils of defense carry out
the program mapped out, with dispatch,
as their machinery is complete for carry
ing out the plan as directed.
"Where there is no community labor
board, you will take the initiative and
proceed at once to call meeting, in
viting the cooperation of all organiza-
tons At such meeting a
board of management for the bureau
will be chosen. Where there is already
a community board organized iii
county, you will act in conjunction with
that board. x The board of man
agement chosen at this meeting will be
composed of representative OF the
community labor board, where such ex-
lists "a member of the county council of
defense, a member of each of the other
organizations cooperating and repre-
sentative of labor. Such body IS called
the board of management. The board
of management will select its own of
ficers Wherever its size makes its adj
visable, such board of management
should appoint a small executive com
mittee and vest in it such powers as
may be necessary for prompt and ef-
fective action.
"The bureau manager shall report dl-
rect1y to the Idaho director of the Y. ).
service upon such blanks
and forms as will be provided for him
from time to time by that officer; will
and in the matter of administrative de
and in the matetr of administrative de-
tails will be under the direction of that
officer"

MONTANA is PREPARING
FOR A LONG DROUTH

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Dec. 20
Montanans are storing away large
quantities of "hard Ticker" against the
coming long drouth, according to
Judge F. L. Mann, deputy collector
of internal revenue, and that same
liquor is going to be confiscated if
the state anti-saloon league succeeds
in getting the state legislature to
place this state among the really
"bone dry" states.
Judge Mann is authority for the
statement that stocks worth as much
as $4,000 and ranging from that fig
ure down to $500 have been cached in
many parts of the state. In fact, the
various distilleries of the country
have been shipping carloads of
whiskey into the state, and it has dis

paid and Mr.. West says he cannot see
that living is much higher in Brem-
erton than in Moscow. Common la
borers get $40 per day, that being
the lowest wages paid. Skilled la
borers get from $6.40 to 81 per day.
Mr.. West says that 5000 men are
employed in the ship yards at Brem-
erton and 1900 women are working
with the men, wearing overalls, doing
the same work and getting the same
wages as the men, Bremerton is
