How Nancy Elliot's Saving Help
ed Her to Help Her Country

When Nancy Elliot was twenty
years old, she made her first invest
ment. Ever since she was little girl,
with the assistance of wise and low
ing parent, she had been saving mon
ey. At the age of eighteen she had
over five hundred dollars in the bank
and with the accumulations of the
next two years added to this, she was
able, after consultation with her bank
er, to buy up promising first mort
gage. Now, although Nancy had
made a lifelong practice of saving,
she was by no means penurious and
she had always provided modest
amount of money for her clothing and
an occasional ticket to the matinee.
So when she had purchased the mort
gage, she still had left small amount
of money in the bank on which to
build a fresh savings account.
Her father had been failing in
health for several years, so Nancy
did not go to college as she longed
to do. Instead, she entered the Hos
pital and went into training. By the
time her nursing course was complet-
ed and she was earning good salary,
the mortgage matured.
America had just entered the world
war and everyone was stirred with
the thrilling appeal made by the first
Liberty loan drive. Without hestita-
ton, Nancy bought FIVE hundred dol
lars worth of war bonds. She was
greatly surprised to find herself able
to buy about three times as many as
her girl friends whom she had sup
posed were in far better circumstances
than herself.
Very proud, indeed, of her ability /
TO help her country, she looked about i
for safe place to keep her Liberty
Bonds. Upon the advice of her father,
she rented a safe deposit box in the
bank. Then she discovered other
things to safeguard-her life insur-
ance. for example, and the jewels that
had belonged to her grandmother
real safety long ago.
Thanks to Nancy's early training,
he girl had developed wise and gra-
.ious qualities of character which made
ler beloved by everyone and her ex-
oerience in nursing had taught her
he vital Importance of giving ones
self in order to receive.
She is now in France, serving under
he Red Cross and her savings of
-ears have doubtless been instrument
i in saving young lives.
Remember this. Saving Paysi In
ne way or another, it cannot fail to
vim for you success Open your ac-
cunt in the First National Bank; the
fficers of this institution will be
lad to assist you in every way pos
ible. ~

No Grain Fees for Handling

According to late advices received
by R. F. Bicknell, federal food admin
istrator for Idaho, from the food ad-
ministration grain corporation at
Portland, the per cent administra-
ton fee has been eliminated that it
was heretofore announced would be
charged farmers or dealers for ham
ding consignments of wheat to the
grain corporation. This charge is out
lined in the bulletin issued by Mr..
Bicknell to E. K. Hayes, county ad-

Not Guilty

R. F. Bicknell, state food admins
traitor, has given out the following
statement: "a number of news
papers in Idaho have republished
misleading report from Boise news
paper giving the impression that
had been guilty of boarding flour and
sugar on a ranch in Gooding county.
Personally l care nothing about this,
but l feel that Circulation of such
reports has a tendency to weaken con-
fidence in the governments war work
as applying to food and to interfere
with cooperation in that direction.
l, therefore, have requested the press
of the state to publish the following
from the findings of the Gooding coun-
ty Council of Defense:
The evidence submitted is conclu-
sive that B. F. Bicknell has no inter-
est in the ownership or control direct
Iy or indirectly, of the Black ranch,
county, Idaho, and is not re-
sponsible for any violations of the
food regulations in connection with
his ranch

NO TRAICHT''
TICKET
Under New Law, Party Names Will
Be Eliminated

Most people do not as yet know that
the last legislature did away, abso-
lutely, with the straight" ticket at
general elections. But it did. The Of
fetal ballot at the next election will
not have separate columns for each
party, as heretofore, with the party
name at the top. There will be only
two columns.
In the first column will be printed
the names of all candidates for Con-
gressional and States offices. In the
second column will be the names of
candidates for the county offices and
the propositions to amend the consti-
tuition. The names of candidates will
be followed by the names of the politi-
cal party to which the candidate be-
longs. The voter must then pick out
the candidate he wishes to vote for
and make a cross after his name in
square provided for that purpose.
There is no provision for voting
straight ticket" or for voting for all
the candidates of political party by
making a cross at the head of the
ticket.
This new form of ticket does not
apply to the primary nominating cleo
tion, where voters are permitted to
take part in nominating only the can
didates of their particular political
party.

Profitable Broom Corn Crop

The successful growing of broom
corn as dry land crop has been
demonstrated this year at Sand Hol-
low on the bench by Gus and Charles
Discoll. Though the season has been
unusually unfavorable the Driscoll's
have 20 tons of this product which a
few weeks ago was quoted at $500
per ton. Broom manufacturers state
that broom corn raised on dry land
is tougher and better than that raised
on irrigated land.

Patriotic Entertainment and
Dance on Eve of Departure
Fine Young Men. e

Liberty theater was an inspiring
sight last Thursday evening when the
band struck up "Over There" and
the company of 27 young Gem county
men who were to leave for Camp
Lewis the following day marched up
the aisles and took their seats on the
stage amid the wild applause of the
large audience. The stage and audi
torium were beautifully decorated.
R. E. Rose presided, and in short
but stirring speech praised the spirit
of the young men who were to leave
at their country's call and assured
them that Gem county would back
them up to a man. The invocation
was given by Rev. James Adams. Then
Frank Kinyon of Boise was introduced
and delivered a splendid patriotic ad-
dress. The surprise of the evening
was the response for the soldiers of
Robert Holbrook of Sweet. Though
called upon Unexpectedly, he made
a fine talk-full of inspiring and pa
triotic thoughts-and was generously
applauded.
Appropriate music was furnished
by a quartet composed of Mrs. New
conner, Mrs. Blackler, Mr. Nusbaum
and Mrs. Gamage and the Alfalfa
quartet.
At the close of the program, the
floor was cleared and the pleasures
of the dance were enjoyed by large
