IN some parts of Vermont and New
York, and no doubt in nearly all the
states of this country are women
workers on the farms Many of them
are accomplishing the full days work
OF man. Among them are found
many college girls who are especially
active and willing to work. They are
not doing this for the fun of the thing
nor for the notoriety they may de-
rive; but are doing this as their
share towards winning the war, and
doing II from motives of patriotism
They drive teams, tractors, planters,
harrows, hoes, and nearly all kinds
of farm machinery. They have rem
dered valuable assistance during the
planting and cultivating seasons, and
will now continue their good work
through haying and harvesting. The
women workers in the fields merit the
pride that America takes in them
England appreciates the magnificent
help rendered by the gentler sex OF
that country. America can be de
pended upon to show equal respect
and appreciation for the patriotic
work Of her women.

1900 New York Doctors
Fighting Poison Gas.

Do you know that you folks at home
as well as the brave boys overt there"
are menaced by poison gas"-,he
insidious kind that steals away health
and the Joy of living, in the perpetually
recurring disturbances resulting from
a gassy, sour stomach.
1900 New York physicians regularly
prescribe JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS as the most perfect form
of relief known for these stomach dis
orders. The TABLETS are highly
beneficial for gastric and intestinal
indigestion, heartburn, acid or sour
stomach, hatulence and gastric catarrh.
They sure do vanish that poison gas
which is the basis of most stomach
ailments, as well as Danish bad breath
which usually heralds that gas.flied
stomach.
Get the TABLETS at your drug
store. Theyinsure quick, lasting relief
by taking three to six dissolved in a
glass of water or chewed before swall-
owing. Have JOHNS DIGESTIVE
TABLETS handy in the dining room
for chronic cases of gastric or intes-
final indigestion as one or two TAD
LETS should be taken before each
meal.

came separated. Soon after Roosevelt
saw three planes which ne thought
was his companions and started to
Join them, He was close approaching
the machines from ..l rear whom he
saw his mistake, for tho planes we're
Germans. Roosevelt Immediately
opened FIRE and aftcs sl,. suots lrac-
ers penetrated the fusilage Of the
nearest German machine and /. went
into spinning nose tAo, falling
through the clouds 1000 yards below.
The lieutenant is certain It must
have crashed. for no pilot voluntarily
goes into 1000 yard spenning nose
dive The two remaining German air
planes attacked Roosevelt but he
managed to make good his escape and
returned to the field himself aud his
machine unscathed.

Thursday, July II, 1918.

Bennington police officers made a
neat and quick job of running down
and capturing the burglars who enter
ed the Joe Levin store early yester-
day morning. The entire credit of
the feat goes to them; as it was one
of them that discovered the break had
been made, and another one of them
that found the culprits and brought
them into court within few hours
after the crime was committed. 1t
was fine work.

AS #
IT WERE SET

Monday night while Mrs. G. J.
Hollenbeck was in Payette to see
her husband entrain for Camp Lewis,
her home was destroyed by fire.
1t is not known how it caught fire
as it had evidently caught fire
from the outside. Mr.. Bulls, neigh
Dor, discovered it and with the help
of another neighbor did all he could
to save it, Everything was burned
but piano, few chairs and a Ii
brary table. Mrs. Hollenbeck had re-
turned home with the VIM. Hollen-
beck family to remain oy?r night
and did not learn of her loss until
Tuesday morning. She was expect
ing her parents to arrive soon from
Kansas TO make their home with
her as her brothers had also en-
listed.

KNOCKED OUT IN
THIRD ROUND

VIII Sackett says he can ride any
thing from a wheelbarrow to bal
loon; but when it comes to a Jer-
sey COW, there's nothing doing, at
least from now on. At the Short
ranch where he is at work there
is a Jersey that has been in the
habit of doing about as she pleases,
and go where she pleases One day
last week Mr. William proceeded to
the barn yard with a COW yoke and
lariat and after making a success
full throw with the latter attempted
to don the COW with the poke and
tho show was ON. 1t was first Bill
on top, and then the COW. There be-
ing no one thera to count time, 1t
was one continued scrap and a fight
to finish. The COW is wearing a
yoke, and so is Bill-'one under each
arm

THRESH|hG PRICE
MEETING

The County Agent has been asked
for information why what thresh
ing prices should be higher in Pay,
"tte County than in certain other
counties. Our information IS that
the wheat threshing price n Twin
Falls County is &C. in Canyon coun-
ty &C., in Ada County &C., IN Pay
ette County &c.
There may be reasons for this
variance and in order to get both
farmers and threshermen together,
the. County Agent is calling meet
ing for Saturday afternoon, July 9th,
TO be held at the Courthouse at four
o'clock. Farmers who think the price
should be the same as in other coun-
ties should be there OF represent
ed there. Threshermen who hold
for a &c rate are asked to be there
% Show why this should be the price.
We suggest that farmers and
do their own taking
and that neither party employ any
professional talent to present their
views. The County Agent is neutral
and assumes no responsibility for
whatever results from this confer
ence. II you arc interested, Satur-
day is the time for you to present
your views and abide by the deci-
sim of that general conference.
