CONFERENCE IN
SESSION AT IDAHO FALLS

The thirty-fifth annual Idaho con-
ference of the Methodist church,
which is being held in Idaho Falls
this year, has an unusually large
attendance, it being entimated that
there are over 100 ministers, from
Idaho and adjoining states here for
the six days.
The visiting ministers have their
days crowded full of interesting
meetings and men nationally known
for their educational work along the
lines taken up at the meetings are
providing lectures.
The program this morning consist
ed Of devotions conducted by Bishop
Shepard, after which conference
session was held. At noon dinner
was served in the basement of the
church. .,e a u
This afternoon at 2 p. m. the ami
versary of the Idaho Conference of
the Woman's Foreign Mission So
ciety was held. This was followed by
the conference Of the Woman's Home
Missionary Society, Mrs. L. E. Miller,
field secretary of the western divi-
sion, being the speaker at this meet
ing. At 4 p. m. DR.. Edwin Sherwood

ceived by this office indicate that
additional magazines could be used
to advantage at the various camps
throughout the country. The report
indicates that the magazines are
heartily appreciated and serve to
promote the welfare and content
ment of soldiers and sailors.
1t is believed that if postmasters
will bring this matter to the atten-
ton of their patrons the latter will
gladly respond and so increase the
numbers Of magazines mailed under
the arrangement referred to that the
need for reading matter of this kind
may be fully met. 1t should be
borne in mind that the magazines
should be of interest or compare
lively recent issues and devoted to
literature or contain articles of gen.
eral interest. Old magazines and
those of local or restricted interest
are of no value and are not desired.

planning and plan things we'll, that
would be vast improvement on the
present system, but the condition of
our roads shows that they do not
plan, or if they do, their plans are
worthless. 1t isns enough to plan the
work in way to keep the rest of the
crew busy. They must be kept work
ing to some purpose and to some eff
feet. 1t is not enough to have a road
gang work all day to build a culvert
and then have it above grade when
they are donet The overseer who
does things that way not only wastes
most of the work expense on the job,
but he wastes the materials, and it
costs more money to take out what
he has had done. 1t would be better
If he kept the crew sitting on the
bank all day doing nothing than to
put it in wrong and have the travel
ers damaged every day it is in place
and then at some time have to take
1t out. Leaving it there few years
and then taking 1t out and placing it
on the right grade only increases the
damage over what it would have been
to take it out and rebuild it the day
after it was put in new. The average
irrigator when he puts in culvert
at new ditch that he builds, puts
it in wrong and it Is of little or no
value when he is done. He should
not be allowed to put 1t in at all. 1t
should be put in under the direction
of the road engineer whose business
it is to determine the grade at that

the approach of bridges and culverts

that need fixing. He developes back

When people want road work done

and usually do very good work.
They choose the place where the
work is to be done, and they do the
work for certain purpose-to get
the road fixed. They try to get re-
suits worth while. They seem to
realize that it is their own time they
are using, and they do not like to
waste it. But If the county is pay
ing all the expense, and they have to
first put the money into the county
treasury, they do not realize that
wasting their own time is wasting
their own money. This shows that
the people are no better than the
road overseers, and that our system
of making roads is wrong or at least
half wrong.

No. 5.-Work up to the thighs, taxi
Ing large f1stfuls Of feathers and be-
Ing sure to pull upward and twist the
forearm outward. It's the twist that
turns the trick and prevents torn skins.
Do one side first, then the other.
Working on Legs.
No. 6.-The legs come next. Clasp
the leg firmly at its base. Keep the
thumb downward. Move the closed
hand along the leg, pressing hard
enough to strip the feathers. Be sure
to work in the direction of the feather
setting, and strip only once. Feathers
left must be pulled.
No. 7.-As the shackle holds the legs
apart, it's easy to slip the hand be-
tween them to pull the soft body feath-
ers. Pull up, and toward the body of
the picker.
No. 8.-The trick in removing the
back and hip feathers is to grasp the
feathers with the palm of the hand
outward, and then rotate the forearm
inward. This makes sort of scraping
motion, and out come the feathers.
No. 9.--In the picture is a hand in
the act OF scraping. Do you see the
way the forearm is turned inward?
Pull out the little feathers between
the shoulders with thumb and fore
finger.
No. 1O.-Now is the time to strip the
neck. Clasp the neck, thumb upward,
around the base. Strip by sweeping
downward. Sometimes two sweeps
are needed-one on the upper, the
other on the lower half of the neck.
Any feathers left must be picked out.
No. 11.-Great care must be taken
with the small wing feathers, espe-
cially near the body. Stretch the wing
as shown. Pick the medium-sized
soft feathers on the broad surfaces
in small punches with the thumb and
forefinger. If the punches are too
large the skin will be torn.
No. 12.-Hold the wing in q vertical
position with the thumb and forefn-
ger pinching the second joint from the
body. With thumb and forefinger NOV
Ing downward against the feather set
ting remove the small feathers on
edges and web. The stiff feathers and
fans are pulled one at time by bend
Ing sharply downward and jerking
quickly.

PROPER PICKING
VERY IMPORTANT
Poorly Dressed Fowls Cause Of
Loss to Packer and Can
Be Prevented.
Draining IS Big ESSENTIAL
Dark Skins, Burnt" Wings and Legs,
Discolored Necks and Other Evils
Can Be Observation-Disclosures
Explain Fully.

Badly picked chickens cause money
losses to packers, and the Importance
of proper picking is comparatively as
great to the owner, of small flock
whose picking is done only for the
family table.
Torn skins, burnt" wings and legs
due to continued and rough strip
ping" pin feathers that show discol-
Ored necks because the neck feathers
were pulled first instead of last-these
things can be prevented by proper
picking.
Much loss results from "roughing'
when the quilts and most of the soft
feathers are removed. The few feath-
ers, pins and down remaining should
be removed by the "tipper'' or spin
ner." Proper Draining is essential to
easy dry picking-it makes dry pick
ing as easy as "scalding."
Steps In Picking.
The following paragraphs explaining
the steps in picking are numbered to
correspond with the, sketches in the
picture, reading from left to right.
No. 1.-The picking shackle, made
of galvanized wire one-eighth inch in
diameter, is suspended by cord. With
the feet in the shackle the wings Of
the bird should be level with your
elbows.
No. 2.-As soon as the throat vein
is cut and the brain punctured, grasp
the wings in the left hand, being sure
not to clasp the neck. Grasp the tail
with the right hand-thumb, down
then turn the wrist and twist out the
feathers as the first turns upward.
No. 3.-Pull the large wing feathers
next. Hold the hand with the thumb
upward. Grasp as many feathers as
you can in one hand. Jerk them out
with sharp, quick downward move
ment. One grab for small birds-two
for large.
No. 4.-Now for the breast and
sides. Begin at the wishbone. Take
large handfuls. Seize the feathers with
the whole fist, thumb upward. Pull up
and out, twisting the forearm out

away.
Strong favored vegetables may be
cooked uncovered in large amount
of rapidly boiling water, and the
water changed several times during
cooking.
Starchy vegetables should be put
on to cook in sufficiently large
amount of boiling water to cover
them. Boil gently, and keep kettle
! covered.
The time required for coking vege-
tables depends on the kind, size and
age Of the vegetables. You must use
your judgement in deciding when
they are done.
Without Food We Fail
If We fail in food production, all
the armies that can be assembled
and all the war material that may
be manufactured will be of no avail.
If we permit England, France,
Italy and Belgium to succumb, the
final contest will be ours alone.
1t may take years, and it will take
many lives and much treasure, but
without victory treasure is trash and
life is bondage.
We have more resources than the
central powers can command; I'VE
can endure for unnumbered years
and, therefore, we will win or we
will drag the German beast with us
in death to the judgment bar of God.
l am sorry for the man who gets
more out of the war than he puts
into it, for the scorn of broken
hearted women, orphaned children,
crippled soldiers and impoverished
millions thruout half the earth will
make him wish he had never been
born.
We ARE fighting to prevent one
nation from exploiting other nations.
Meanwhile, we must see to it that
one man does not exploit other men.
The primal needs of man are food,
raiment and shelter; all else is lux
ury and indulgence. The force
which produces food and raiment
is agriculture, and in a true relation
all the activities of commerce are it's
or servants.
The most vital of occupations, agri-
culture, in it's rewards and environ
ments is the least attractive. We
have reached the point now where
it must be made attractive, or the
government will be compelled to re-
sort to coercion in order to insure
production. From AID

Secretary of Agriculture.

place and build the culvert so the
road will be on grade. II 1t Is left
to the irrigator he will usually build
the cheapest excuse he can, and set
1t on top of ground and scrape lit
lie dirt up to it, just enough so travel
ers can get over.
The theory Of having roads built
by the local people who are most in
terested and most benefited, is all
right, but in practice it is all wrong.
The overseer becomes temporarily
the boss of his neighbor, and he hest
tates about asserting himself to get
prompt action and full hours of
work. Some of the men arrive late
on the job, and some do not work
after they do arrive. The pay for the
work comes from the county seat,
and they take the view that they are
working for the county, and as the
county is not there to demand full
service, they beat the county by
doing poor service. They cultivate
the idea that others in other parts of
the county are getting easy money in
the same way and they vie with each
other in seeing how little they can do
for he money they draw. They tell
each other that the county officials
sit around on easy chairs, and this
is their day to be county officials, so
they sit much on their scrapers or
on the, ground. The overseer per-
suades himself that his part is to
plan for the others, and he finds that
he can plan enough in fifteen minutes
to keep them busy all day or for
several days the way some of them
work. While he is waiting, his brain
cells harden, so when he rids over
the roads he does not preceive that
there are bumps in the road that are
destroying vehicles as they come

100 BEET SUGAR MILLS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. % Just
100 sugar beet mills in the United
States are now ready to turn out
sugar to furnish energy to our SOL
diers as soon as the harvesting of the
sugar beet crop begins, according to
advices received here from the
United States. Department of Agri-
culture.
Sixteen Of the mills, with capaci-
ties ranging from few hundred tons
to 5000 tons each "a hours were
built in 1917 to help handle the 1918
crop. Seventeen mills were built in
1916 in. these states: Wyoming,
Idaho, Nebraska, Utah, Oregon, Colo
RADIO, Montana, Iowa, California and
Washington. ....
California had the first sugar beet
mill in the United States. This was
built in 1870.

give the following pointers n regard
to the cooking of vegetables:
Vegetables just out of the garden
taste best when simply cooked
steamed, boiled or bakedZand
served with a little salt, milk or
cream. Often a heavily seasoned
sauce covers. up the more desirable
vegetable flavor.
Overlooking of vegetables impairs
their flavors, very delicate are
destroyed, while vegetables with
strong flavors, such as cab
bage or onions, become disa-
greeably strong is cooked too long.
Overlooking also destroys the attrac-
tive colr of some vegetables.
Cook summer vegetables as soon
after they are gathered as you can in
order to preserve the flavor. If they
must be kept over, keep in the ice
box or some other cool place.
Let wilted vegetables soak in cold
water to freshen them. If vegetables
must stand after pairing, covering
with cold water will prevent whiting
and discoloration.
Before cooking, put head vege-
tables and green's in cold water for
an hour, with one tablespoon of vine
gar to remove insects, then wash
very carefully.
Save Water for Soup Stock
Drain all boiled vegetables as soon
as tender-they become soggy if they
are allowed to stand undrained after
cooking. The water drained off may
be saved for soup stock.
Most vegetables should be cooked
in small amount of water, because
q part of the mineral salts dissolves
out into the water, and is lost if the
water is thrown away. Cook whole
when possible.
Tender spinach or lettuce leaves
require no added water for cooking.
If thoroly washed, enough water will
cling to the leaves to prevent their

road overseer in the county that

doing away with all road overseers
and employing a county superinten-

be better to have road overseer for
