Rev FRI James Durward. in ST. James Mimi Plandeal
The other fellows faults do mount
So high that we can see them plainly;
Our own are not of much account,
And so we pass them up-or mainly
The other chap should mend his ways.
He should eschew his sins and vices
Or he will spend eternal days
In climates where tbs said no ice is.
How can he gay and careless be
In summer sunshine idly basking-
When our good counsel's always free,
And flows like water for the asking.
NE JUDICATE, Scripture saith
saying that is often quoted;
And often in the selfsame breath :
The other fellows faults are noted.
Men write good counsel by the ream
To warn of notes in others eyes,
But when some sucker shows the beam
In theirs, it is great surprise.
Our frailties (most of us belleve)
Are seen through light that's soft and
mellow;
But clearly, plainly We perceive
The failings of the other fellow.
L'ENvoI
OF faults the other fellow carries,
No doubt, tough and wicked skinful;
And when the rascal feints and parties
By showing ours, he's doubly sinful.

PROF. VINCENT
RETURNS HOME
Spent the Summer at
Camp Lewis in Y. M.
G.. A. Work.

Professor Vincent returned the
first of the week from a summers
stay at Camp Lewis, where he has
been working in the interest of the
Y. M. G. A. Besides the different
work that was carried on at the camp
he was an instructor.
He conducted the work in the
schools in addition to teaching be-
tween $50 to 400 pupils a day.
There was also a school of about
700 foreigners, mostly English.
Mr.. Vincent spent part Of his
time organizing classes. He taught
French, English, Spanish, mechanics,
electricity, penmanship, mechanical
drawing, higher accounting, algebra
and geometry.
All Of these studies are conducted
in the Y. M. G. A. huts, except when
the boys are in quarantine, then the
instructors are sent to the barracks.
The Y. M. G. A. workers took their
meals with the boys, in order that
they might come in close contact
with the boys at all times.
Professor Vincent met nearly all
of the boys from Bingham county.

the progress of a talking campaign

erty bonds for the support of the wal
1t would be difficult to talk politics,
especially the particular brand of po-
litics which has in view the unseat-
ing of Democratic members in con-
gress and putting Republicans in
their places. Any reflection upon the
Democratic majority, it is said,
would be attacked promptly by Dem
ocratic spellbinders as pro-German
and anti-American and as tending to
interfere with the sale of liberty
bonds.
Republicans feel that their disad-
vantage would be increased many
times over if the president were max
ing personal tour of the country
they would not express any
opposition to it today, but they are
plainly disturbed over the effect they
such a tour will have upon
the Republican campaign for obtain

MORE CLEAN WHITE
CLOTH NEEDED BY
THE RED CROSS
Save the Department
the Expense of Pur-
chasing New Material
by Supplying Them
With your Waste Ma
terial.

In the surgical dressing chapter Of
the Red Cross large number of
squares of white muslin are used for
wrapping carefully the cut gauze be-
fore it is packed for shipment. Moth
ing will do for this purpose but
clean white cloth, but an old piece
answers the same purpose as the
new. This has not been. supplied in
quantity sufficient for the purpose
and the chapter has been compelled
to purchase new unbleached, by the
bolt at cost of from 20 to 22h
cents yard and one yard will only
make about four squares; it depends
upon the size required. The average
sizes are 20 by 20 and 16 by. 16
inches square. So you see the cost
is about cents per square.
There is only one surgical dress
ing chapter in Bingham county to be
supplied with squares and hundreds
of homes that could readily furnish
the old material. There may be
seams and patches, but no holes.
Any old white cloth that is clean and
will fold we'll is useful. The above
mentioned sizes are safe ones to cut
and when others are called for the
housekeepers will be notified. They
should be cut square, pressed and
folded over twice, making small
square after folding. Should some
good woman find her time too oc-
cupied to do the cutting and folding
she may send the clean and ironed
material. Mrs. Trego is attending
to this work at present and packages
may be left at the surgical dressing
rooms over the Boise-Payette Lum-
mer company, using the side door,
or at the Republican office with Miss
Christensen the cashier, or at Sage
hurst the home of Mrs. Trego.
1t is such an absolute waste to pay
present prices for new goods when
there are quantities of old that
serves the same purpose, we feel as
sured prompt response will be Of
fered. 1t is only a few days until
more will be needed.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN beet SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Average-cen-
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR IS ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-third
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today is producing forty
per cent. less beet sugar than the pre-
war average.
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops, as well as the
neutrals, the U. s. Food Administra-
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop of
1917-1918 is at least three and half
million tons.
That the 1917-1918 crop of cane sug-
ar was two million tons in excess of
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half Of
the world cane crop, and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping is badly need
ed to transport and maintain the mill
tary forces in France.
In Java large part of the old sugar
crop is still awaiting shipment. Since
1t requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that is sent to Java, the possibili-
ties Of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as a group,
official reports show that beet sugar
production is less by one-third than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf-
fered most by the war. The French
yield Of beet sugar Is now only 29.1
per cent. Of the 'pre-waf average.
For the FIVE years preceding the out
break of hostilities in Europe, France
produced an average Of 752, 542 tons of
sugar each year. For 1917-18 the
French production was 219, 416 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as COM
pared with more than 200 that were
in existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar in 1918
than in 1867, when the total output
was 2O2,415 tons.
Italy in 1918 produced 100000
tons Of beet sugar, which was $4,000
tons less than the previous year and /
11O,250 less than the annual output of
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
Rod.
One Of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands Of men usually
in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half Of the usual quantity Of
beets harvested.

TOUR FOR LIBERTY
LOAN CONSIDERED
BY THE PRESIDENT
Republicans See Politics
in Proposed Trip of
MIR. Wilson Just Be-
fore Election.

WASHINGTON, D. Cit is be-
lieved that President Wilson is con-
templating a nationwide tour of the
country during the fourth liberty
loan campaign, which is scheduled
to begin September %. The presi-
dent today wrote letter to Repre-
sentative Charles H. Randall, prohi-
bitionist, of California, indicating
that he would like to visit California
during the next few months. Mr..
Randall had written to the president
asking him to come to California in
October, and while the invitation was
not accepted, neither was it refused
Ever since | came to Washington
have not only wished to visit the
Pacific coast" said the president in
his letter to Mr.. Randall, "but have
repeatedly tried to work out a plan
to do so, but always something has
interviewed which made it my i'm
perative duty to remain in Washing
ton. You may be sure, however. that
I shall not give up the hope or stop
trying to make the plan"
In making this part of the presi-
dents letter public Mr.. Randall
stated that he had assurance that
the program for the president to
tour the west is already in process
of formation and that the date sug-
gested by him, namely, October, will
be adopted. Mr.. Dandall stated also
that the tour will be completed
probably with the final date Of the
fourth liberty loan campaign, which
has been fixed for October 10.
1t became known today that Post
master General Burleson has been
in having some men,
bers of congress write to the Presi-
dent extending to him an invitation
to visit their states during October.
Mr.. Randall is thus far the only one
who has received reply, so far as
has been ascertained.
The fact that Mr.. Burleson is en-
cheering the scheme caused an i'm
mediate interest on the part OF Re-
publicans in congress. They see in
1t carefully devised piece of polit-
lcal strategy, to be staged as a part
Of the Democratic campaign for re-
control of house and senate.
It has been whispered for long time
about the. corridors of the office
buildings of the members that the
date of the liberty loan campaign
has been set for October with an eye
to political advantage.
1t is said that naturally during

quartermasters office and has made
an application for the officers train
ing school. Dave Gibby another
Blackfoot boy, is in hte base hospital
and has charge of twenty-five men.
Chester Vincent and Mr.. Burke are
in the officers training school and
expect to receive their commissions
soon. Rex Dunlap was there short
time after Mr.. Vinvent's arrival, but
was transferred to an officers train
ing school in Georgia.
There are now at Camp Lewis 49,
900 men and they expect to have 50,-
900 men in training by the first Of
next month.
At present they are organizing
new division, known as the Thir-
teenth. This division will be COM
posed of two regiments, which have
just returned from. the Hawaiian
Islands. Brigadier General Wander
bilt will have charge.
The movement overseas of the Y.
M. C. A. men, Red Cross, in fact all
civilians has been stopped for the
present. There have been two Ger
man spies found in these branches
that have been sent over, and before
anyone is allowed to 60 now they are
investigated thru the secret service.
In the hut which Mr.. Vincent was
in they had large map of the West
ern Front, which was 10 by Is feet.
The battle lines were marked with
colored headed pins. Each day they
would receive the government re-
ports on each days movements, and
the events that had happened lover
there" In the evening Mr.. Vim
cent lectured on the event of the day.
and the movements of the armies.
This may attracted a great deal of
attention and several thousand men
would study the map in one even
ing.
He brought three Of these maps
home with him and they will be used
in the public schools. Mr.. Vincent
will also get the government reports
on the movements of the armies.
The camps are furnished with
good reading material. They re-
ceive fifteen to twenty papers, gratus,
from different localities. In all about
$50 county papers are received.
They have a regular duplicate sub
,cription to fourteen magazines
each week.
