Rats Costly Eaters

Experts have estimated that one
rat will consume 40 to so pounds of
food in a year. 1t has also been
figured that it requires the contin-
uous work of about 10000 men
with farms, agricultural imple-
ments, and other shipments to sup
ply the foodstuffs destroyed annual
ly by rats in the United States. In
addition, rats destroy other prop
erty, mainly of agricultural origin,
the production of which requires
the work of about $4,000 men. This
gives total of 100000 men whose
economic output is devoted solely
to feeding and otherwise providing
for rats.

Idaho To Supply 2020 Men

Idaho is called upon to supply
2O2O men for use in essential war
industries. There is shortage OF
approximately one million men in
munition plants, shipbuildng, aero
plane manufacturing and lumber
industry throughout the country.
The condition has become so urg-
ent that the government has found
it necessary to call upon each state
for it's part of the shortage. 1daho's
quota has been fixed at 1920 men.
These men will be called to go to
the place most needed. 1t will be
the policy of the government, how
ever, to move them the shortest
distance possible. That Idaho may
not have her supply of labor dlmin-
ished to the extent of injuring her
own industries, it is essential that
all employers of labor make their
needs known at once to the United
States Employment service. The
county defence councils and the
commercial bodies are requested tt
assist the employment service ir
obtaining the essntial data and get
it into the hands Of the represent
ative of the enjoyment service a
an early date as possible.

From Roy Florance
Dear Father and Mother:


You will be surprised, but never
theless it is true that some of us are
on the move at last. Where or
when we are going l can't tell, and
the number that is going had bet
ter not tell, but the majority Of
them are the old men. l learned
about the shipment Saturday morn
ing, so beat it to the office and got
in on it. Had quite time doing it
because they didn't want me to go.
l was offered a corporalship if I
would stay and hold the job down
that l had, but l would rather go
over as private than stay here and
be a noncom. We have received
part Of our physical examination and
have been measured for overseas
equipment. Orders read that we
are to be ready by Monday night,
but when we leave will be hard to
tell. We are pretty busy all the
time we are to be here as we are
to receive intensive training. I
broke new man in on my job today,
so am relieved of that. The fell
low that got my job was corporal.
Well, give everybody my regards
and tell them to write letter. Let
ters will sure be welcome when get
over there. Am raring to 20. Will
sure be disappointed if something
should turn up to prevent my going.
Love to all.-Roy.

Bad News for Berlin

The war news from the eastern
front these days is bad news for the
German people. Quotations from
the German newspapers portray the
gloom that overhangs the people in
the large cities. That the people in
the small towns and country are
equally depressed is not to be doubt
ed. The Liberty Loan bond buy
ers of the preceding loans have their
share in the success of the entente
allies. They furnished the sinews
of war not only to fight the U-boats
and to build ships, not only to raise
euip and send our soldiers over, not
only to supply them and our allies
with food and munitions, but more
than Sc, 900 100000 of their money
has been loaned to our allies so
that they may prosecute the war
with vigor and strength.
We here at home have an opportu
nifty to send the Germans some more
bad news. The Germans have great
respect for money; they know it
vital value in waging war. The!
know, too, that the support th'
American people give government
loan measures largely the supper
they give their Government, tn
moral as we'll as the financial sup
port they give their armies in tn
field.
A tremendous subscription to tn
Fourh Liberty Loan will be as dis
tressing to the German people as
defeat for them on the battle field
and it will mean as much. 1t spell
their defeat; it breaks their morale
it means power to their enemies. .
subscription to the loan is cor
tribution to German defeat an
American victory. a-.

Seven Sack. of Wheat

No more OeauClIul is CEe story OI
Ruth, who gathered the fallen
spears of barley in the fields of
Boaz, than the story of the CLEANER
about whom am going to tell you
Ruth went out and by her devo-
on to Naomi won the love of Boaz.
My CLEANER plucked the heads of
wheat in an Idaho field without
thought of the appreciation of men;
without hope of material reward;
without desire to win the applause
or attention of the world.
Love for Naomi caused Ruth to
toll in the harvests of Bethlehem.
Love for country, for righteous
ness, for liberty-for all that these
mean-sent my CLEANER out into the
fields of Idaho.

Eighty-one years old and eager

Then one night the ditch broke
as bitches sometimes do where men
irrigate. The water poured out and
flooded a field of wheat. 1t was
heavy, ripe, ready to cut. Where
the water washed through it the
grain fell and lodged. 1t was a
tangled mass, ruined. No binder,
no machine, could harvest it. Work
pressed. Labor was unobtainable.
The son had no time to gather the
grain by hand ''It is a shame for
it to waste" he said, "but it can't
be helped-I'd be glad to give it to
anyone who could save it"
One morning few weeks later he
was going to town. "Will you have

JOB FOR OFFICER FLANNERY
New York Policeman Undertook Some
Contract When He Sought to Find
Firm Little Woman Wanted.

The existence Of hitherto-unknown
corporation on Washington Heights
was brought to the attention Of police
man Flannery when meek little wom-
az approached him and over an arm
full Of bundles asked for information
regarding this mysterious firm. With
one brawny hand the policeman held
up traffic from oil four directions while
he bent a receptive ear to the tlmId
little woman.
I'm so sorry to bother you, Mr.. Po-
liceman," said the shopper, "but my
grocer has moved his shop from
around the corner here, where he used
to be. and thought you might know
where he is now. want to get some
eggs-and he always kept such fresh
ones"
"What was the name OF your grocer,
madam" asked Policeman Flannery,
one of the most polite of the baton
twirlers. "If you will tell me his name
will see If we have record of his
change Of location at the station house
and let you know"
"Well the man who always waited
or me-" replied the little woman, "was
named Tom. | don't know his last
name. And the name of the firm that
was painted on the door was Push

BEES WORK TO KEEP WARM
Another Example Of the Remarkable
intelligence Displayed by the Lit
tie Gatherers Of Honey.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as during the summer. Being suscept-
ible to cold, the bee must have some
means of supplying warmth.
1t was found by experiment that
only the shell Of the cluster made by
the bees In cold weather Is compact.
This Is formed by one Of several lay
ers of bees all solldIy arranged with
their heads inward, their hairs inter
lacipg.
This arrangement Is perfect for con-
servation Of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift Of positions the
bees forming the shell are quiet. But
within the shell strange things are go
ing on.
1t is here that the heat is gem
Grated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold.
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there is plenty of
space for many bees to be exercising
at time. Rapid tanning OF the wings,
shaking the body from side to side,
rapid breathing and other movements
are all parts of the scheme for rails
Ing the temperature.
In one particular instance, when
bee had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and half minutes the
thermometer nearest him registered
90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Myths Hard 10 Down

Many details OF the pig myths OF Ire.
land, Scotland ind Wales reveal tbe
TACT that the ancient stories OF the
dragon have been preserved with re-
markable completeness, even though
they have been kept alive by verbal
currency for a vast number OF years.
The efficacy Of one-eyed man as
plg-slayer In Ireland is a case in point.
In the earliest version Of the dragon
myth the monster n killed by the EYE
OF Rel. O., the moon or sun. The
Greeks Interpreted this literally and
created being with destructive eye,
and In Ireland this belief is still potent
to Influence the conduct OF our con.
temporaries.
Ever since the time when the human
spirit first began TO seek for an elixir
OF life these myths have been clrcu.
latlng among mankind. In the visions
OF the small children Of Roscommon we
are catching glImpses OF the thoughts
Of people who lived long before the
Pyramids OF Egypt were dreamed of.
This helps us also to understand how
profoundly our actions and beliefs arc
