THE JOLLY ENTERTAINERS.

Among the most pleasing and ~
spring entertainments that have come
to American Falls for many a day
were those of "The Jolly Entertain
crs" given Friday and Saturday nights.
The company consists of sixteen
boys and girls ranging in age from 6
to seventeen years, all but one of
whom are less than Is. A brass band
OF thirteen pieces, playing excellent
music, is perhaps their stellar attrac-
ton, but there is good comedy. natural
acting. and splendid chorus work. No
vaudeville has given greater satisfac-
ton here, and almost without excep-
ton, those who attended either per-
formance are more than satisfied.
Perfect naturalness is the most note
worthy feature of the entertainments.
Music vas the outstanding feature Of
the first program, and a minstrel show
Of the second.
The scenery carried by the company
is equal to that of the best big road
shows in variety and cope, and the
acting Of the children compared fav-
orably with that of the adults of the
best companies that have come here.
In solo work the childish voices did
not show to good advantage, but this
defect was more than made up by the
chorus work. 1.-THE Jolly Entertain
ers" put on a show that is well worth
the admission price. and they will be
welcomed back to American Falls at
any time.

So was the postmistress. the old maid

And while he was getting the three
pailssand a half Of lollypops out from

He's got some things for you
That look like candy balls on sticks.
But you'll know what to do
With them. so now my song RI! stop

Well. after that. every little four

was over Uncle Lucky took Mrs. Bunny

he and Billy Bunny went for q drive
In the Luckymobile and after q while
not so very long, they came to 8 little

MAKING MAN POWER.

Waterloo had her children exam
fned. weighed. measured and recorded
and the astonishing discovery was
made that OF the $500 youngsters
under hve years OF age, fully one
third arc in need Of medical or suryi-
cal attention. In the vast majority
Of cases, the parents had no idea that
all was not we'll with their youngsters.
Surely II anybody In Waterloo had
doubts about the wisdom. the great
need Of child welfare work. that re-
port should have brought conviction.
And what ever is asked for this work
in Waterloo in the future, ought to
be granted promptly and the people
ought to grant and insist upon more
than may be asked. Here IL some
thing where cost ought to be left out
OF consideration. The city ought to
say, do the best that can be done. and
send us the bill. Get results. never
mind the cost. We are prosperous
and the moro and the better the
work you do. the more prosperous and
tho happier win Waterloo become.

The mixed grain order is rather more
serious and brings more trouble. Many
farmers havo been accustomed to mix
a little wheat with their seed oats. 1t
helps the oats to stand in the field and
bears down on the scales when the
grain is sold, However these grains
must DO separated. No doubt arrange
ment may be made with the elevator
to do the separating. but it is ordered
done. Wheat can not be fed to animals
The reason for tie order should be evil
dent to all who have been limited to a
pound and a half Of wheat -four and
all the substitutes they could or would
eat,
The fnct is that these orders are the
result of conditions They bear directly
upon the war and are war orders which
should DO cheerfully obeyed. Neither
business nor farming nor anything else
can be "as usual while this struggle
goes on. Sometimes 1t is hard for us
to understand why bushel OF grain
here and there amounts to much, but q
few thousands of bushels saved ii

difference between serious scarcity and
enough. Count up the grain fields OF
the grain country and multiply the

And remember that billion dollars

the grain. We have raised It. We must

diers and the families at home must
eat 365 days In tile meantime.

Two VAR ORDERS.

Two orders issuing from the govern.
ment thru the q. 8. Food Admintstra-
ton create some argument among
farmers. One is the rule that an racks
used for hauling in grain from tho field
shall be tight bottomed. Another is
that where wheat has been sowed with
oats or other grains used for feeding
purposes the wheat must be separated
from the other.
The reason for the nrst rule mem
toned is that every bushel Of grain
must be saved as war measure. The
grain is needed. It must be had; and
having it it must be saved. Tight
racks will save at least bushel an
acre, probably much more. A thousand
acres of grain Is small run for a. GOOD
threshing machine. The saving then
would represent thousand bushels In
each case. Moreover. It isn't . ques-
ton Of whether tho thresher or the
farmer could afford to lose a little grain
which requires care and causes some
expense to save. The government and
the war can't spare it It Ia q mattar
of more or less foodsturs. To illustrate:
The richest man in Marshall county
can, not buy more than five pounds Of
sugar for household consumption at one
time with all the money he may have
except by committing crime. The
sugar Isn't here to buy. The price Of
the grain doesn't cut the figure in this
order but the scarcity created by the
war and the necessity of saving and
properly distributing the food where it
will do most toward winning the war.
Then too, this order does not involve
any mentionable expense. Any farm
hand with Ratchet and the old boards
about the place can make rack bot
