FNLISTMENTS AGAIN OPENED FOR
NAVAL RESERVE FORCES.

To keep up the complement of the
ever increasing navy, the department
has again thrown down the bars for
a short time and are seeking compe-
tent men who desire to enlist. En-
listments are being made in all the
different branches of the service, ex-
cept in some of the higher ratings.
The term of enlistment is for four
years. with active service for the dur
alton of the war only.
The naval reserve force offers ex-
.ceptional advantages. The service and
pay are identical with the regular
navy. ana as practically all the Of
fcers are selected from the ranks by
competitive examinations, which are
held three or four times a year, the
chances for promotion and advance
ment are unequaled. Every man IN
the service is eligible to take this ex-
animation after from three TO six
months active duty and shows the
proper aptitude for the work. Many
of the men who entered the service at
the outbreak Of the war have commits
sions. and have been ordered to Anna
polls for a short course OF training
and study in the special branches.
All of the navy recruiting ottlces
are authorized to make enrollments
and as a result the number is increas-
ing daily. Men of the draft age are
accepted upon securing PERMISSION 10
enlist of their local draft board, under
section Isl, selective service regula-
tons.

ALONG The HIGHWAYS
Gleanings by the Pilgrim In His
W~anderings Here and There.

That old wind of last Tuesday night
in more ways than one. While it was
one of the most sever gales that the
Pilgrim has bucked in his travels over
the country and called forth consign-
ment to that place where ice cream
and cold lemonade are extremely high
in price, still the said old wind dried
out the roads nicely. All the high
ways are now in shape to make hik-
ing a pleasure once more; in some
places the roads are getting dusty and
that is all right, too; all pilgrims are
accustomed to gather dust as they go
along. In fact, gathering the dust is
one of the principal objects of this
pilgrimage.

IL SOulAuS SulllleI anu ld4l. One
girl, 16 years old, earned 81 per day
for a short time last year topping su-
gar beets for a rancher in the Aber-
deem country. Some men, at the same
work, made as high as $11.50 a day last
year.
Even the jackrabbit represents mon
ey these days, or did last winter. DurK
ing January and February of this year
the Henningsen Produce company of
Butte, Montana, bought 2300 jackrab-
bits at a dollar per dozen at their To-
cal agency and shipped them to Butte.
The rabbits when dressed averaged
three and one-half pounds in weight.
Their ultimate destination was the
eastern food markets. One young
mar made more than $50 hunting and
killing rabbits during the two months
named, and he did not put in all his
time at the business at that. The
Butte concern also bought 81 cases of
eggs here during the two months,
prices ranging from $40 to $3.50 per
case f. O.. b. Aberdeen. The Butte con-
Germ in the two months paid to Aber-
deem farmers more than $4,000 for
cream, eggs and rabbits.
In the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Fast, eight miles southwest of Aber-
deem, coffee is an entirely unknown
article. Wheat is parched and then
ground in a coffee mill and a splendid
substitute for coffee brewed there
from. Mrs. Fast learned how to use
wheat for this purpose from her moth
err. So we'll has the beverage served
its purpose that it is many years since
this lady has brewed a pot of real
coffee.

Two agencies in Aberdeen are buy
ing cream from the farmers of the
vicinity. One of these, the Valley Sup
ply company of Aberdeen, in January
of this year bought and shipped $500
pounds of butterfat and in February
handled a little over 1000 pounds of the
same article. During the month of
January the price paid for butterfat
ranged from so to 50 cents per pound.
The market price in February was 80
cents per pound. The other agency,
the H~enningsen Produce company Of
Butte, Montana, during January of this
year purchased at their Aberdeen
agency 1475 pounds of butterfat and
in February 2200 pounds. The prices
paid ranged from 40 cents to so cents
per pound. This makes a grand total
Of S175 pounds of butterfat bought by
two agencies in two months in the
middle of winter. All of this cream
was raised in the vicinity of Aberdeen
and the total of money distributed for
it amounts to a very nice sum. The
first named agency has been establish
ed in Aberdeen for two years, and the

production of cream is steadily in
creasing and improvement of the dairy
herds is the order of the day. Many
farmers around Aberdeen are making
dairying their principal industry and
are the gamers by it. The ranchers
in many cases are going in for pure
bred dairy cows of one type or the
other. One believes that Jerseys are
the best and another that Holsteins
or some other type are just about
right. The main thing. however, is
that by going into dairying these far
mers are building up their holdings in
one of the surest ways as far as per
manency of income is concerned.
One of the best evidences that lane
under the irrigation project around
Aberdeen is valuable is supplied by the
sugar company which pays $40 casf
rent per acre of alfalfa sod for the
growing of sugar beets. There is nj
question about the value of the lane
and the future of the district wher
such prices are paid for the use of the
land for one year.

There are angles anG angles in this
matter of Jimhill mustard and Russian
thistles. For instance, P. F. Toevs
owns a 200-acre dry farm seven miles
southwest of Aberdeen and has the
state of Idaho as a neighbor, adjoining
him on the west. This neighbor, the
state of Idaho Represented by state
land) is raising a crop of Jimhill mus
tard and Russian thistles on his land.
When the gentle breezes come along
after the crop of weed seeds is ripe
and scatter the nuisance all over the
lands of the farmers it leads to opin-
ions that are not gentle. Mr.. Toevs
applied for permission to pillow the
state land and seed it to a crop in or
der to get rid of the menace to his
farm. He was not in a position to
comply with the laws covering the rem
tai of state lands because he had sew
eral successive crop failures. The
law is that the rental fee must be paid
in advance. Mr.. TOevs applied for
permission to cultivate the land and
pay the rental fee from the proceeds
of the crop raised on the state land,
but the state informed him that under
the laws governing the matter his re-
quest could not be complied with. In
the meantime the weeds are growing
and promise a big crop for the ensuing
season, and the ranchers of the neigh
borhood r powerless to prevent the
weeds from menacing and damaging
their holdings. If a special session of
the legislature is called by the COVER
o would it not be advisable to have
this matter come up for action? There
are plenty of weed ranchers in the
state of Idaho without the state it
self joining the delectable crew. 1t is
desired to state here that the term
weed rancher" is meant for the fell
low who promises the government that
he will make a productive ranch Of a
parcel of land he homesteads and
then fails to keep that promise after
getting title to the land by hitting the
trail and letting his ranch go to the
d, beg pardon, go to weeds; and
they are worse than the chief of the
birthstone dump.

TEAD1LY the prices of things to

Yesterday, one Of the leading coll

tailers that hereafter the Wholesale
price of collars (laundered) will be
$3.50 n dozen, which will mean 20
cents TO the consumer instead OF 90
cents.
Similar notice from all the other
collar manufacturers Is expected. No
reason for the advance Is given, but
II is said raw materials have adj
vanced so much that the new rate Is
compulsory. The labor situation is
also said to figure in the matter
The advance to $3.50 per dozen

months. From $40 a dozen the
wholesale price has gone to sl20,
