conclusively that the boys in service
are being provided with the finest quail

that it is surpassed by none.
Another interesting fact developed
In their discussion-that the army

It was most gratifying to learn that
In every first-aid kit the soldier carries

order to prevent trench sores, which
were SO common in the early days Of
the war. These sores are caused by
the alkaline water in the trenches, but
If the feet are promptly protected by

BINGHAM COUNTY
PUBLISHER IS THERE

The government is telling the
country newspapers how to conduct
their business now, and it marks the
most drastic changes ever known to
newspaperdom. 44a
Bingham county has one news
paper that has been advocating a
good many Of the same things for
several years and for the past two
or three years has been putting some
OF them into practice as much as 1t
could and hold its business. One of
these things is to send the paper only
to those who order it and keep It
paid up either in advance or within
reasonable limits. Now comes the
government order to all publishers
to send their papers only to those
who pay in advance, and to stop the
paper when the time is out unless the
person pays again. a,,.
To the publisher who has not been
doing that and who has not even
been getting settlements annually or
at any certain times at all, this new
order brings about a severe distur-
bance If not an absolute failure in
business, for no publisher will be al
lowed under the new rule, to in
crease his business. It means that
he must get his business down to
cash basis, and If people who have
been taking his paper without paying
do not care to buy Of him on the
new plan, the volume of his business
will be cut down severely, and on
short notice in September and Octo-
Der. The Republican and its patrons
have been striving for a long time to
get their subscription business sifted
down to that very basis, and now
when the big pinch comes, they are
prepared for 1t.

SHELLEY
Shelley New Idea Club Active

The New Idea club of Shelley met
at the home of Mrs. A. j. Nicholson
last Friday afternoon. Mrs. Nickel
son was assisted by Mrs. N. s. Sage
and Mrs. Hunter. There was a good
attendance. The entertainment of
the afternoon was solo by Mrs. r.
N. Packard a reading by Mrs. John
]. Dean. At this meeting the ladies
of the club decided to give chicken
dinner and bazaar on Saturday,
Sept. 20, for the benefit of the Red
Cross.
Thru the endeavors of the New
Idea club the women of Shelley will
be asked to work in the harvest fields
this fall anywhere they are needed, if
they are capable of doing the work,
and they surely are, for the women
of England and France have been
doing such work ever since the war
began, and on a much bigger scale.
A jitney service will be organized
for the purpose Of taking the women
to and from work. The New Idea
club should be praised for starting
such work and it is sincerely hoped
that they will keep it up.
This will greatly help in counter
acting the labor shortage this fall.
1t is the patriotic duty Of every able
bodied girl and woman to work In
the harvest fields this fall, and it is
hoped that the women of Shelley will
respond to this call for help.
II the women do not respond for
this work, negroes may be brought
In for this work, for the crops must
be harvested.

ANOTHER NEWSPAPER FAILS

The Elk River Sentinel published
for the past six years at Elk River,
Idaho, has suspended and closed it's
doors.
The reason for its demise was that
it had too little income and too much
expense. In other words the world
found out that it could get along
without the sentinel, and closing it
out was just one more step in the
line of changes brought about by con-
sidering what are the essential
things to be done.

HOUSTON-HOOVER INVITED ID ATTEND
 RED GROSS SALE.
Alabamians in Washington Urge Agricultural and Food Heads to Visit
 Birmingham
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, June 12.-(Special.) )-Sec- retary Houston of the department Of agriculture and Herbert A. Hoover, fed- eral food administrator were invited this morning by E. w. Barrett and w. w. Crawford to attend the Red Cross sale of highly bred bulls in Birmingham July ?. For the participation in this sale by heads of departments the time is inopportune. This afternoon the President began his conferences with Right hand men relative to putting into effect the Overman act under the authority Of which the chief executive will coordinate the various branches Of the government. In addition July is the busiest month with the federal officials for that marks the beginning of the new fiscal year
 It is probable, therefore, that neither Secretary Houston nor MT. Hoover win be able to accept the invitation. Both, however, expressed appreciation of the invitation and enthusiasm of the pa triotic project. Both will write letters to the proper committee in Birmingham and thereby interest in the sale will be materially stimulated.

AMERICAN STEAMER
 MAKES GOOD ESCAPE FROM SUBMARINE
The Edward Pierce Reaches Safety After Long Stern Chase on Monday
 Night

An Atlantic Port, June 12.-How the American steamer Edward Pierce escaped both shell fire and a torpedo from a Ger man submarine off the Virginia capes Monday night in stern chase which ended only when coast lights were sighted was related here today by Captain Wade, master of the vessel. The attack came soon after the Norwegian steamer Hen- rik Lund was sunk 120 miles east of Cape Hatteras and probably was made by the same submarine.
 Captain Wade said his first warning was a shell crossing his bow. The cap tain decided that he would depend upon the darkness and speed to save his ship All steam was crowded on and zg-zag course was run. The submarine con tinued to fire, but it's marksmanship in the darkness was poor.
 Finding his guns unavailing, the Ger man, according to Captain Wade, launched a torpedo, but it went wide. The chase lasted for two hours. the sub marine evidently drawing off when the coast lights were sighted.

Bulgaria and Turkey May Yet Feel Iron Hand of

JUSTICE BRANDEIS NOW AN IMPORTANT
 ADVISER TO WILSON
Has Sources of Information Said Not Available to Any
 Other Man in America
By HUGH ROBERTS

Washington, June (Spe- cial. )-The stage is set for dip lomatic developments of i'm port equal to the clash of troops on the western front. Indications are very strong that the United States will, in the very near future, send troops to Russia, and declare war against Bulgaria and Tur- key.
 It is known that diplomats of the government for some weeks have been making most assiduous and painstak- ing inquiry into the intricate situa- ticn. It is reported that agreement has about been reached which will re- suit in the President taking positive and martial stand. In this connection it may be stated that Justice Bran deis of the supreme court now rivals Colonel House as diplomatic assist ant to the President.
 MASARYK'S INFORMATION
 Up to the present time no publicity has been given to developments fast ap- preaching crisis. It is a notable fact, however, that sometime ago Secretary Baker expressed the sympathy of the United States for the smaller nations writhing under the claw of Austria and in addition declared that very soon SOL dicrs of the United States would be fight ing shoulder to shoulder with soldiers of Italy against Austria Hungary and it's possessious
 This declaration of the secretary fol- lowed advice rendered by Justice Bran deis it is believed. The justice has re- ceived valuable and illuminating infor-
