ARE WE DOING OUR PART.

When the daily papers arrive at
the Payette Postoffice there is a
rush for the fresh news from the
sScene of action on the battle fields.
We take the paper from the box witt
bated breath eager to learn with
what success our boys may have
met. We read with the blood curdling
in OUR veins of our men being drty-
EN- back, and with pride the mention
of the enemy being moved down
by our forces. 1t is with a great
degree of regret andd fear when we
realize our brave boys are being out
numbered by reason of our late en-
trance into the conflict We often
hear it said, "why don't the United
States send more men," 1t is true
we have plenty of men yet to send,
and thW are being trained and sent
across just as fast as can be done
with the equipment at hand. The
question is, are we as a PEOPLE at
home DOING everything in our power
to assist ir building up our equip
ment and furnishing supplies for the
men We now have at the front. There
arc too many of us who do not full
ly realize the Significance of this
great war. We go about our daily
work unmolosted seemingly not AVA
of the fact that there is war. It'll
does not lessen the horrors and SUI
fering because of the fact it ISIS
thousands of miles across the wa
ter. If it We're possible for us to
be placed on high pinnacle and
lock down ON the scene of action as
a great panorama and witness the
columns sway back and forth and to
hear the deafening sound of battle,
and to see OUR boys in khaki in
the front line fighting against odds,
we would then be brought to the full

"sOME" AS AN ADJECTIVE
Popular American Slang Has Attached
Wealth of Meaning to
the Word.

The American habit of coming new
| meanings for words already known is
| closely allied to that of coming words,
writes G. Jefferson Weber in the North
American Review. Take, for example,
the current slang use of that much
used word "some" What wealth of
meaning and insinuation the Ameri-
can has invented for the word!
"Some" as an adverb may be heard
in many places. For instance, in the
Teign valley district of Devon, the ma
tives may say, "It did rain yum yes
terday.7 But the American would use
the word as an adjective and say,
THAT was some rain yesterday" This
use is hard to define. In the middle
of the last century "some," meaning
considerable, or notable, was called "a
modern slang word" Today "some"
is almost limitless in it's capacity for
application. It implies approval en-
thusiasm, sarcasm, wonder, admira-
ton, disgust-or amusement.
The seeds may have been sown in
Cornwall in Devon or in Lancashire,
but l seriously doubt If native of any
Of these counties would ever say en-
Enthusiastically, "We had some fun last
night" or sarcastically, "This is some !
book" Another word to which Ameri-
cans have given new meaning is the |
verb raise" In England, men raise |
crops; in America, they also raise chill
dren.

Cock and Bull Story.

Cock fighting is still the national
sport Of the Dominicans, although II Ii
declining in popularity. Under the na-
tional gambling laws cock fighting may
be prohibited. It may, however, be II
.censed by the various municipalities,
and 1t usually is, as 1t yields them q
good revenue. While bull fighting Is
permitted in the Dominican republic,
II has never been popular in this island.
AT long intervals toreador comes here

leo, and few bull fights are held in
the various towns, but they do not At
tract a large attendance. There are
no professional bull fighters among the
Dominicans.-Commercial Reports.

R. F. BICKNELL,

for Idaho.

If amy holders of wheat have been
actuated by desire and expectation
of receiving higher price, it might
be well to explain that by an act Of
Congress any higher price that
might be established hereafter will
not affect present holdings Of wheat
grown prior to the season OF 1918.
No grower, therefore, cam financially
benefit by holding his grain beyond
May 10. The only result Of holding
wheat longer will be detriment to
the Governments imminent needs
and, therefore, a presumption Of dis
loyal motives must be assumed as
the reason for boarding.

Professor M. A. Yothers, Entomolo
gist U. S. Department CT Agriculture
was in Payette a few days last week
in the interest of the prune growers
who are bothered with the brown
mite or red spider. This is pest
that in some localities is giving much
uneasimess. After experimenting to
quito an extent, Mr. Yothers recon-.
mends the following formula, to be
used as spray, when temperature
is so degrees or lower:
Distilate oil Emulsion, gal.
Black leaf 40 ga pit.
Water to make 200 gal.
When the temperature is 80 to
95:
Distilate Oil Emulsion, 4 gal
Black Leaf 40, 1 pint
Water to make 200 gal.
And when the temperature is above
95 do not spray with Oil. Professor
Yothers is quite anxious to have
the prune growers Of this locality
use the above if bothered with this
pest. He will likely be here in the
near future to mako examination as
to the results.
