ENJOYS HIS WORK
in THE U. 5. ARMY
WRITES RELATIVES OF INTER-
ESTING WORK ON THE Avn
ALTON FIELDS NOW
FLYING.

Raymond Farquhar, son of II. E.
Farquhar, of Lincoln, Nbr., well
known in this city, writes his aunt,
Miss Ella FarQuhar, a most inter-
esting letter regarding his work.
the Ground School at Berkeley, Calf.
and successfully passing the required
examination, Mr.. Farquhar is now
flying on the Rockwell Field at San
Diego, Calf. His letter follows:
Dear Aunt Ella
Several times the folks have told
me that you would like TO have a
letter from me, but you know when
fellow is Tearing to fly, and on top
of that has a girl and his own folks
to write to its rather hard to find
time to write to others, but l
haven't much of anything to do this
afternoon, so will try and tell you
a little of the life of an army avia-
tor.

you that ] finished ground school at

spend another twelve weeks such as
those, for the constant study and wor-
ry over getting thru from week to
week is something awful, but j
learned more in those weeks than l
ever did in that short time in my
life. and now that its over, don't
regret it bit.
While here we studied engines,
machine guns, military law
modern trench warfare, military
hygiene, organization and admin
armies, army paper work army regu-
lations, infantry drill, guard regu-
lations, and aerial observation. You
can doubtless imagine we were
rather busy. I've been flying now
for five weeks and to say I'm crazy
about it would put it mildly. 1t is
certainly the greatest sport on earth,
and probably about the most danger
Gus, yet somehow a fellow who is
flying never thinks of that side of
it, for he learns in just little while
to have so much confidence in him
self and his Ship as tho he were
driving an old horse along a country
road.
l have been up $500 feet, and
stunt, some alone and some with my
instructor, have done loops, side
slips, tail spins, zimmerman turns,
and a lot of others which you would
have to see to appreciate.

The ships, for that is what the
planes are called that we have used
thus far, will travel between rs and
80 miles an hour, yet when you are
up some 1000 feet early in the
morning when the air is smooth, you
hardly realize that the plane Is NOV

one other man from my class to be
advanced to second solo work, all the
rest were held back for another
week of first solo. My work now
consists of making SIS, thousand feet
glides for a 20 foot spot, 1900 foot
spiral and glide, and 1000 foot re-
verse spiral and glide. The latter
is giving me a little trouble, some

reconnaissance work, and in that
work will probably fly planes as
large as 100 feet across. equipped
with the liberty motor, which is be-
yond a doubt the finest in the world
today.
In spite of all the exercise and
work I've had in the last four and
half months, haven't succeeded in
taking off any of my weight, tho I'm

NO MORE FREE PAPERS

A recent government order for
bids sending free papers to soldier
boys or anyone else even forbid
ding us to swap with papers pub
lished in neighboring towns, GUS
tom that has prevailed uninterrup-
eddy since the days of Ben Frank
lin. For example, if we want the
Podunk Prevaricator, we must mail
the publisher there of a check and If
he wants The Republican he simp-
ly endorses the check and mails it
back to us or sends a new check.
And this order is compulsory.
Ever since the first draft was
made in this county we have been
sending the Republican to a large
number of the soldier boys who have
gone from this community. With
the exception of a small contribution
by patriotic citizens and few per-
sonal payments, these papers have
been sent free. That they are ap-
preciated by the soldier boys al
most as much as letter from home
goes without saying. But under
the new ruling the boys are now to
be deprived of one of the luxuries
of soldier life, the home paper, un-
less a fund is raised by popular SUBJ
scription to enable the publisher to
live up to the letter of the law. He
has no choice in the matter other
than to obey the government order.

NEW WHEAT MOVES
]. FAST At LEWISTON
HEAVY SALES MADE AT PRICES
RANGING FROM $2.06
TO $2.12 1-2

LEWISTON. - The Pacific Grain
company yesterday purchased approx
mately 1000 bushels of the new wheat
crop, the price ranging from $2.06 for
club to $2.12 IL for turkey red. The
club was bought On a $40 basis, but was
locked to sos on account Of quality.
The price of both club and turkey red
was a premium of about three cents per
bushel over the government pirce, but
the wheat was wanted for immediate
milling, and with cars available for quick
movement the price was boosted above
the regular quotations.
Included in the purchases made by the
Pacific Grain company was the first de-
livery from the Mounce brothers farm
located in upper Tammany. This farm
is operated by Owen and Wayne Mounce
and the sale yesterday embraced 5000
bushels. The delivery was divided be-
tween club and turkey red, the larger
per cent being club.
NLOiliSC DlOliSio navy iOdlid LIN Siub
wheat the most profitable this season.
The club averaged % bushels to the acre
and the crop was sold for $2.06. The
turkey red averaged 20 bushels to the
acre and this wheat brought $2.12 IL.
This yield would make a return of $57.6S
per acre for the club wheat as against
$43.50 per acre for the turkey red.
Mounce brothers are now engaged in
the harvest of $50 acres of spring mar
quis wheat, the harvest operations being
handled by an Oregon special combine,
especially constructed for the smaller
farms. The machine is drawn by a
caterpillar engine and a crew of four
men is sufficient to handle the harvest
work.
Prairie Crop a Good One.
Guy Chiesman returned yesterday
from the prairie country and reported
fine prospects for all crops. He stated
the spring crop is much better than was
expected a few weeks ago and the fall
crop will return a big yield in all sec
tons. Mr.. Chiesman predicts a record
grain production for the prairie country.
He reports fine prospects for beans in
the Clifford, Melrose, Central ridge and
Potlatch sections. The bean acreage has
been materially increased in all localities
and the showers of the past few weeks
have been. of great benefit to the beans.

Under the new arrangement for the
coming year the food administration
grain corporation relinquishes defin-
lite direction of wheat shipments. We
will, therefore, discontinue the car
permit system, in order to return the
trade to the widest range of individ-
ual opportunity possible. Neverthe-
less, we intend to keep in close touch
with all shippers and assist them IS
much as possible in securing cars for
the movement of wheat"

TEACH CANNING
WITHOUT SUGAR


In order that a saving of fruit and
vegetables may be made possible at a
time when the supply of sugar is lin
tied, the State Agricultural Colleges are
carrying on a program for canning
without sugar. This work is carried on
through the boys and girls clubs of the
80 northern and western states, Fruits
are put up in boiling water instead OF
strip, unsweetened products are canned
for pies, fruits are made into sirups
which can in many ways be used to
replace sugar. Fruit juices are sterilized
and can later be used for making jellies,
jams and marma1ades. The junces can
also be used for seasoning in general
cooking and for making beverages.

PLAN NOW FOR
WINTER STORAGE

Eat more fruits and vegetables and
save wheat and meat for our soldiers
and allies. If provision is made for a good
storage cellar, the farmer can have fresh
fruit and vegetables on his table the
year around. Furthermore, a good cellar
would save food that is ordinarily wsated
when placed on glutted markets. If in
terestd in the construction of storage
houses, write to the Horticultural De-
partrnent of the University of Idaho for
detailed information.
