PREFERS MIDDLE OF COACH
Safest Place in Case Of Accident and
Far More Comfortable Riding,
Old Engineers Opinion.

Two men going on short railroad
trip entered car and the one in the
lead walked Immediately to the first
vacant seat, which was on the left side
near the door.
"Come on up here" said his COM
panion as he gave tug at the others
arm. Here's a good seat" With
that the two went to a place near the
middle Of the car on the right side.
whats the gamer" asked the first
traveller of his friend, who was an old
time railroad engineer, as the two
pumped down into the seat chosen by
the latter. 81 can't see any difference
in the seats. One looks as good to
me as the other in a railroad train,
except that sometimes when travelling
at night want to take position in
which the lights strikes my paper
when desire to read"
"When 1 get into a car" replied the
ex-engine driver, II always try to get
on the right side near the middle, as
it Is the safest in case of an accident.
In the first place, the right side is in
less danger from side swipe, espe-
cially on a two-track line. In the sec
ond place, if collision should occur
the middle of the car generally is the
least damaged, it seldom being much
affected if the cars telescope. In the
third place there is more comfort, be-
cause a passenger can escape riding
over the trucks, as the points above
the wheels get most Of the humping
and noise"

Some weeks ago We had quite
a bit to say about a young lady
of our town having to send away
for a pair of white shoes. To
prove that it pays to advertise,
we notice that one of Bushman's
show windows has been present
ing dainty white shoes for public
inspection. Also, Flake Bros.
called up and said, "You can tell
your readers that we have plenty
of white shoes in stock now. ("

day was also the time for launch
ing the sale of the third Liberty
Loan. A delegation of Snow
flake ladies took the matter in
hand and solicited the town for
subscriptions for bonds and sue
ceeded in listing about So, 100

In the late afternoon those of
US who have sons in the service
marched thru town, inspiring
the occasion with our silent evil
dence of sacrifice for the cause
of Liberty.
At evening a huge Bond" fire
was made on the Social hall yard,
and while the flames were leaping
skyward, the great throng which
had gathered sang patriotic
songs, stirring speeches were
made by John H. Miller and VIM
c.. Smith.
A great American flag foated
over the crowd and a feature
was the spotlight thrown on the
flag by Mr.. Updike showing the
words: Buy a Liberty Bond. "
Another feature was the kaiser
in effigy hung to the basket ball
frame, which had been arranged
by those who so feeling that we

To effect the needed saving of wheat
we are wholly dependent upon the
voluntary assistance Of the American
people and we ask that the following
rules shall be observed:
/. HOuseholders to use not to exceed
q total of ~ pounds per week OF
wheat products per person. This
means not more than tx pounds of
victory bread containing the required
percentage Of substitutes and One-half
pound of cooking -four, macaroni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes, wheat
breakfast cereals, all combined.
2. Public eating places and clubs to
observe two wheatless days per week,
Monday and Wednesday, as at present
In addition thereto, not to serve to
any one guest at any one meal an
aggregate of breadstuffs. macarOni,
crackers, pastry, pies, cakes. wheat
breakfast cereals, containing a total
of more than two ounces OF Wheat
-four. No wheat products to be served
unless specially ordered. Public eat
ing establishments not to buy more
than six pounds OF Wneat prouucCs AOt
each ninety meals served, thus con-
forming with the limitations requested
of the hOusehOlderS.
8. Retailers to sell not more than
one-eighth of a barrel Of -four to any
town customer at any one time and
not more than one-Quarter OF barrel
TO any country customer at any one
time. and In no case to sell wheat
products without the sale OF an equal
weight Of other cereals.
4. We ask the bakers and grocers to
reduce the volume of Victory bread
sold. by delivery of the three-quartel
nound loaf where one pound was sold
before. and corresponding proportions
IN other weights. We also ask bakers
not to Increase the amount OF theil

cent. of the average monthly amount
purchased in the four months prior to
March /.
ucts for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, 1Ours, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato -four, ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
ucts whatever, except a very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
tion. There is no reason why all of
the American people who are able to
cook in their own households cannot
subsist perfectly we'll with the use of
less wheat products than one and one
half pounds a week, and we specially
ask the well-tO-dO households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
gramme in order that we may provide
the necessary marginal supplies for
those parts Of the community less able
to adapt themselves to so large pro-
portion of substitutes.
In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
sOlutely demanded of us to maintain
the civil population and soldiers Of the
allies and our own army, we propose
to supplement the voluntary cO-opera-
i - a. hx
ton Of distribution, and we shall place
at once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
tributi0n as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions. Until then we ask
for the necessary patience, sacrifice
and cooperation Of the distributing
| trades. n

OVER THE TOP
S.. A. Summer School

The last issue of the Herald
called attention to the proposed
extension work to be conducted
BY the S. S. A., this summer.
It will be interesting to know
that this work was proposed by
President Joseph F. Smith and
that most of the Church schools
are trying it out this summer.
It is also worth knowing that the
Rex Academy at ReXburg has
been conducting a similar sum-
ner school for three summers
and that the results obtained
there have been gratifying.
One of the main purposes of
the work is to make it possible
for the students to be at home a
longer time. According 70 this
plan the regular winter term will
be held only about twenty-seven
weeks each year. During this
term the students will be able to
obtain about 3 units of credit.
Then for about A months during
the summer the Extension work
WILDE conducted. Two teachers
will travel from place to place
Wherever there are students and
supervise and examine the work
done by the students. 1t is eX-
pected that the teachers will be
aOIe to visit each student about
once every week or ten days.
DUrlng this summer term the
Students will be able to earn
ABOUT ! unit of credit. Thus it
Will still take only A years for the
normal student to graduate from
theHigh School.
The summer work for the sum
ner Of 1918 will begin April 18th,

which the Marines had against them in
the fighting around Chateau Thierry.
The other three were 50 badly cut up
that they could not barry out their

The diary ends abruptly, as the next
day the writer was q prisoner in the
hands Of the Americans.
