Smut Explosion

James Greear, sack sewer with

chine, which was threshing on the
Struble place near Lenville, was
quite severely burned about the
neck and face as the result of smut
explosion, which occurred Tuseday
morning. The machine was not bad

damage as it was quickly extin-
guished. Mr.. Greear received the
full force of the flames which
sprang from the casing around the
fan, his lips and neck being badly
burned. Had the flames struck him
in the eyes he would no doubt have

Straw for Ensilage

Some silos may not be filled this
fall due to shortage of corn or other
green material in some sections of
Idaho. In many districts both feed
for wintering beef cattle and dairy
cattle feeding stuff will be ex,
tremely scarce. This situation may
be helped by using a mixture in fill
ing the silo, to increase the amount
of succulent feed. The Animal
Husbandry Department of the Uni
versity Of Idaho has used one to two
loads of corn to one load of straw in
making silage for the beef cattle
herd. 1t is quite true that such sill
age would not have the same feed
ing value as silage made from good
corn, but it gives greater amount
of good feed for wintering mature
and growing animals. Both the
corn and straw should be finely cut
and sufficient water added so the
mass will settle we'll. The adding
of plenty of water is very import
ant, if the silage is to settle and
cure properly. Wheat. oat and pea
straw have bene used with corn for
silage and very satisfactory silage
results. It is relished by the cattle,
and eaten without waste. Silage
with a limited allowance of legume
hay brings cattle through the win
ter in good condition.

Lack of interest in the primary
election was evident by the scatter
ing, hit-or-miss manner of voting
last Tuesday. Probably there never
has been an election in this part of
the country in which so little inter-
est was taken. A large percent of
the voters were not posted as to the
merits of the various candidates and
consequently voted simply by guess.
Men who in previous campaigns
took lively interest. in the progress
of the election, showed a lack of in
terest that was hardly justifiable
considering the Importance of the
issue involved in the nonpartisan
league element in the race. Prom
inent democrats in this precinct the
morning of the election did not know
who the nonpartisan candidates were
on the democratic ticket.

American Designers Exploiting

New York.-Paris is never handi-
capped in creating fashions by the
actions Of other designers. That is
why she is powerful. America has al
ways suffered under this handicap be-
cause she has followed Paris, asserts
prominent fashion authority. She
has never been inclined to risk the
exploitation of fabrics, fashions and
colorings that were not sponsored by
the mother of fashions.
1t is said of us that we acknowledge
the best in every nation and bring it
to our shores. We know the best in
every department of art, science and
literature. If we are compelled to put
our knowledge to practical use, we at
least have the best to go on. We are
not ignorant.
The time has come for this expert
ment, as we all know, and the observer

commercial courage and it required a

fashion, to quote her own phrase. The
manufacturer complained that he had

and that he would sell it for about
franc and a half yard. Nine. Pa
quin took it all, went to her salons
on the Rue de la PaiX, turned the
cheap check silk into an alluring frock
of her own design, and then wore it
at Trouville-by-the-Se She made the
frock, the design, the color and the
fabric fashionable. Everyone wanted
to wear what she wore. She sold
every inch of the material at a price
that brought her unmeasured profit
on the transaction.

Often we hear illusions made to

ment 81 favorable and many times
unfavorable, depending greatly up
on the political views held by those
who are doing the talking. After all
about nine-tenths of us take a rid
iculously narrow view of some of
the biggest questions that confront
us. We can't possibly give all the
credit of the marvellous things
which have been done by this
country since it entered the war a
little over a year ago, to the demo-
cratic party or any other party.
The war program has been carried
out by the nation the U. S.

From your letter | get it that you

and that the oil feed was operating so
as to prevent piston seiZing. Under
the circumstances l don't believe you

may be assumed that the extreme heat

Do you advise me to take it?-Grover.
The trouble with buying a wreck is
that, after it is fixed up it-never seems
like the same car. You do not mention
the make nor the price you will have
to pay for it. At any rate you must
be careful in buying a wreck. First
determine what parts are injured be-
yond repair, then find out if you can
| get the parts from the maker. Even
parts for some popular makes are now
hard to get. Find out what the new
parts will cost. Then figure the cost
| of repairing the other parts. Usually
| this means labor charge for straight
ening the front axle, tenders, etc. You
must be certain that the clutch, gear
set, rear axle, etc, have not been
thrown completely out of alignment

Do NOT STINT
FOR FOOD BUT
SELECT WISELY

Food Administrator Rordan is
findings that many people still have
an idea that they are being asked
by the food administration to deprive
themselves of necessary food and that
personal frugality is demanded Of
them. Nothing is further from the
truth.
Food conservation" says Mr.. Rior-
dan, does not mean that Ameri-
cans are themselves TO go hungry.
The government is employing all the
means at its disposal in an effort TO
assure every man, woman and child a
sufficiency of wholesome. palatable
and nutritious food. We have more
than enough for ourselves in America,
and if the distribution and prices
can be properly controlled there will
be no reason for suffering anywhere
in our country.
1T does not mean that we are to
hoard up food stuffs for fear we shall
not have enough at some unknown
time in the future Such Il policy
would be the direct reverse of what
is desired For the farmers to hold
back the supplies with which their
barns and larders are filled and the
city people who have money to buy
up and lay away vast stores of food
which they do not need at the pres
ent time would be to defeat the very
thing at which the government is
aiming. There is no probability of
greater scarcity in the future for us
Americans than is now upon us. Don't
hoard. boarding withholds food from
the allies and boosts the cost of liv-
ing for ourselves.
Food conservation does mean two
very definite things. In the first
place it means that nobody shall
| waste any food stuffs of any kind.
The dwellers in the towns and cities
| who must buy most that they eat
should waste nothing. Doubtless the
high prices that prevail at present
will prevent much cause for complaint
here. The garbage can should re-
ceive nothing that can be used on the
| table and the same care should De
exercised by the farmer, where the
food is produced and the pinch Of
high prices is not felt
