IDLE ACRES.

Nearly every farm has some
portion of it that is either not
used at all or is used III such IA
way as to Produce very little. On
many farms there are patches of
low ground which can not De
titled because they are too wet.
Usually when drained these wet
areas are the richest land on the
farm.
Just at present, when the world
of democracy against those of au-
is engaged in the most gigantic
struggle in it's history, the forces
of democracy against those of au-
tocracy, the product Of these cir
Gle acres is needed. This is an
excellent time to put them into
use. Small patches of wet land
can be drained at small expense.
Between now and the opening up
of spring work there is ample
time to do the work. This year
the farmer has been able to sell
his products at a fair price and
has the money with which to buy
the tile. Every farmer. part OF
whose farm is unproductive be-
cause it needs drainage, should
take advantage of the present op-
portunity to add to his cropping
area by supplying the necessary
drainage. These lands will pro-
duce more than average farm
lands. Every product will help
to win the war.

TRUCKS RETURNING
 FROM COAST TRIP

After having made trip from Ak ron, Ohio, to San Francisco with air plane tires for the government, a Packard and White truck, accompanied by pilot car arrived in Kingman Wednesday night, oh the return trip. The outfit is owned by the Goodyear tire people, and the trip was made west over the Lincoln highway to dem- onstrate their new pneumatic truck tire. The party is in charge of M. D.. Scott, and there are four truck drivers who drive the big cars in relays of six hours each. The party is headed for Phoenix, where the Goodyear company has 35,000 acre cotton plantation, and where the trucks will be loaded with baled cotton for the return trip to the factory.
 The two trucks are two of seven that have been operated the past year between Akron and Boston. These cars are equipped with pneumatic tires which are claimed to be far superior to the solid tires heretofore used on all trucks. The trip was made with out accident, although the roads were very rough in many sections, especial ly between Salt Lake and Ely, and be- tween Needles and Yucca.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

Last Sunday Flank Pastro, driving his own car and accompanied by MT. James and Tom Bales, had a narrow escape from death when the brakes failed to hold coming down Stockton Hill. At the summit Pastro started down in high gear and as he reached the heavy grade the car got beyond control and rolled down the narrow road at constantly accelerating speed. At the last curve Bales and James jumped and escaped with slight injur- ies. Pastro remained in the car, which'was thrown violently against a projecting rock at the side of the road breaking wheel and bringing the car to standstill. The car was not otherwise damaged. The Stockton Hill grade is over 20 per cent and the fellow who tries to drive it without control of his car is sure to come to grief.

Gave Wedding Present.

For full 25 years-in fact since her wedding day--had Mrs. Blank, prom inent Red Cross worker of the Pacific Division, kept that vase. Not always on view. After the first five years is occupied various hooks and cran- nies about the house and made the family uncomfortable at housekeeping time. Finally Mrs. Blank decided that the oldest inhabitant had forgotten it and gave it to the Red Cross Shop. Bl-l-l-l-ing! went the telephone bell that evening. By the way, my Dear, saw vase from your house at the Shop. How did I know it? Why I gave it to you myself as wedding gift 25 years ago." This experience was something of jolt, but the plucky Salvage and Shop Chairman just laughs at it and has used it to over come certain little prejudices that are unavoidable in the small town.

Hot Drinks
 At the Front

Red Cross men did not stop their work as long as fighting continued on the battle of St. Mihiel, but as it pro- gressed they moved ahead with the troops and got close up to the lines before the offensive began. Hot drinks were sent to the front lines in the am balances that went after wounded. At one point between daylight and nine P. M., 1S0 gallons of hot chocolate were served to fighters, and 120 gal Ions at another point.

"No-l only gave an arm" replied the soldier The silence that fell on the careless crowd was that of a christening spirit and, one could almost hear it's accus- ing question - "What have YOU given?"

THE TASK IN ENGLAND

Every fortnight some 600 girls of the Y. A. A. c. find themselves in one of the London barracks preparatory to being sent to the front in France. These girls are almost always stran- gers to each other and the Y. A. A. c. administrators in England has asked the Y. w. c. A. to organize evening recreations for them. A great hut has been built for this purpose by the Y. w. c. A. war committee.

One of the tasks which all Y. w. c. A. workers in France near the front do regularly is to go to the nearest town with long lists and do shopping for the nurses on duty in the hospitals near them. If it were not for the Y. W. girls nurses would either have to leave their posts of duty or do without for no mere man could possibly do this work,
