Trees Are an Asset.

- It would seem that every person
who owns farm or city lot would see
the importance of trees, but judging
from the homes enc finds without trees
it is safe to conclude that many do not
yet realize the value Of trees. How
ever, some who plant trees fail to
make them live; the seasons In some
localities may be unfavorable for q
few years and destroy the trees; 9th
ers may be beginning to build up homes
which sooner or later will be protected

7 Telephone Pest Branded
As a FrightfuI and Most
UnWeIcome of Creatures

Probably there is no single mechan-
ical contrivance so absolutely essential
to our convenience and comfort today
as the telephone. It is the largest
small thing in modern commercial,
mercantile and social life, and without
it we would be as hopelessly lost in
the sea of endeavor as ship without
a compass, says writer In the Pitts
burgh Dispatch-if on some balmy,
windy or snowy morning, afternoon or
evening, the Fool Killer will take time
to plant thunderous wallop upon the
low brow of the telephone pest, he
will hear the loudest burst of applause
in his experience.
Persons who have had telephones
ever since It was necessary to crank
them before starting conversation,
will. upon hearing the contact Of the
cruel club and pests pate, give vent
to their emotions in cheers, handicap
pings, shrill whistles and tweets Of
'Bravo." For a telephone pest is
frightful creature. Until Alexander
Graham Bell, by his wonderful inven-
ton made It possible for a nut to ex-
tend his field of operations as far as
he had money to pay for, countless per-
sons who are now nervous derelfcts
lived calh, well-balanced lives. If
they were fleet Of foot or athletic they
could readily circle the tiresome per.
son at top speed or hop onto a car 60
ing into any direction the moment they
set eyes upon him.
Now, 1t is different. The mental
wildcat drops a nickel in the slot, pulls
the door shut after him, and has his
victim just where he wants him. The
types of these "jitney" howlers are as
diversified as their range Of voice, but
their ability to provoke heat under
starched collars, to bring water to the
eyeglasses and to cause a frenzy Of I'M
drilled dancing on the other end of
their unspeakable wire is unfailing.

Cotton and Soy Beans Fat
Producers Giving America
Advantage Over Germany

"The Germans, with their colossal
military preparedness, failed miserably
lat one point. They had soldiers and
guns galore, but they were short of fat,
Gays Milo Hastings in Physical Culture
writing on "The Extravaganza OF
Meat" No provision had been made
IN their domestic economy to produce
home grown vegetable fats. When I'M
,pOrtations were shut off and the guam
titles Of live stock were reduced as a
matter of economizfng grain food, the
Germans both ipdustrially and dieteti-
'cally suffered acutely from fat priva-
ton.
'"Their laboratory food scientists had
told the military authorities that car
bohydrates were dietetic equivalents OF
fat. Through the means Of most pain
ful experience the Germans found out
the scientists had been mistaken, and
Smuggling fat into Germany today is
las profitable as shipping whisky the
week before Christmas.
I'm America we have no such prob
lem of the shortage of fats. As BY
product Of our cotton industries we
have an annual production of 10000
600 gallons Of oil, and we have the soil
and climate suitable for the production
Of other, vegetable fats. Among the
most promising of such fat producing
crops is the soy bean.
'The soy bean is a sort Of vegetable
live stock. All the arguments in favor
Of live stock apply to this distinctive
plant. Its growth enriches the soil by
the extraction Of nitrogen from the air.
hence It is a source of actual gaining
in soil fertility. The soy bean in our
Southern states yields thirty bushels to
the acre-one-third of the product be-
ing oil and another third protein. Both
elements are excellent human foods,
and it is only question Of learning
bow to work them up into q palatable

Sports Were Easy.

Several of the prominent business
men of Weiser will vouch for the fact
hat they have found the meanest man.
A shaved, well dressed young man
drove into Weiser Friday, in a car,
and soon made friends, to whom he
divulged the secret that he had 20
gallons of booze cached near Weiser
that he wanted to sell. Being a
stranger, he confided that it would be
difficult to dispose of the booze, and
asked the assistance of his newly
made friends. They readily agreed
and soon the entire stock of booze was
sold. The party, five or six in num-
Der, then went in cars with the strang-
er to the booze. "Now. gentlemen"
he said, you do not want to buy a
lot of whisky that is not real whisky,
so we will sample this" The whisky
was in fve-gallon kegs, and a small
rubber tube was inserted by the
stranger and a small amount of extra
good whisky taken from each key.
This appeared satisfactory to all con-
cerned, and the money, S40C, was
handed over to the stranger, who i'm
drove off. The party then
returned to Weiser with the thoughts
of hilarious evening. One of the
kegs was tapped, and glass held
ready to receive the frewater. With
premonitions and fear and trembling,
the supposed whisky was tasted. Be
hold their disgust when the liquid
proved to be the purest natural drink
hat nature produces-water. All the |
Kegs turned out likewise. The party
s now wondering whether they were
,ynotized or whether they were taken
n by sleight-of-hand performer, as
hey will all swear that the stranger
lrew as good whisky from the kegs
IS they had ever tasted. They have
aid goodbye to their $500. One
nan in the party, who believed in
is out the price of 10
,allons, 5000.

there appeared in the Sweet items an
article in defense of the homesteader.
The writer (whose name does not ap-
pearl apparently knows very little as
defend. Uncle Samuel, the benevolent
old gentleman, gives his land away
free with the understanding that the
occupant live and make his home there
He also makes it possible for the oc-
cupant to obtain post timber and fuel
in the same free way. And if the oc-
cupant is thrifty and energetic he can
obtain the necessary wire to enclose
his crow picked, squirrel eaten, drouth
stricken crop, which is so much de-
sired by the meek bovine.
There are two kinds of homestead
ers: One really makes home, the
other sits and growls. How many
nice juicy steaks would our soldier
boys have cover there" if this worthy
defender had his way? 1t smacks of
the dog in the manger story. They
haven't the stock to eat the grass in
these Thousand hills" and are narrow
minded enough not to want any one
else to have any,
Uncle Sam and the forest service
are doing everything possible to in
crease the production of stock so nee
essary to win the war. And if a
homesteader does not think enough of
his gift to make an effort to fence it,
he should be compelled to go to the
front line trench.
The homesteader's very existence is
made possible by the stock industry,
otherwise the Indian and buffalo
would roam these Thousand hills"
The writer of the previous article
would have herd law, then we would
not need to fence. l was talking with
one of the herd law advocates and |
asked how would we move our stock
back and forth through the country?
The answer was, LEAD them, lead
liieln. liidSIHe inc GeHl OOullIy
Grazing Association leading their
stock to Bear Valley
l do not believe there is stockman
in the state of Idaho who would wan
tonly allow his cattle to destroy crops.
Show me a homesteader without a
fence and l will show you one with
holes in the seat of his pants that
a full grown flapjack would not cover.

should adopt diet suited to his age

March 27-No doubt you would like
to know how the war is going. Can't
say much in the mail, but let me tell
you this, she is some fight. l have
been going to school now for several
weeks, but am finished now and hope
to be at the front in a short time. We
could hear the big guns at the front
last night quite plain. We have been
over here now several months. Took
US seven days to come across, which is
very short as to the time it took most
of the transports We had fine trip
and although the gunners and the rest
of US prayed for the sight of a sub
marine we saw none at all. We are
getting along fine, have had plenty to
eat and the supply seems to be good,
so why should we worry. The only
thing the boys are hollering about is
because they have been held off the
front so long. But am sure we will
all be satisfied in few days now.
