Bill Houdyshell last week wrote to
his brother, James, and said that he
was getting along as well as the best
OF 'em in the 145th u. S. field artillery,
the old Utah regiment, down at Camp
Kearney, California. The only kick
that good old outfit Of lighting men
has coming is that they have not been
sent to the front in France. Every
last one Of the men is eager to go and
ioin in the biggest battle Of all ages.

Frank Kluck, the Sunbeam creek
rancher. was in town Sunday and
stated that his grain crops are look
ing lust about right after the recent
rains. What a good rain can do II 1t
comes along just at the right time was
proven last year on the ranch OF MI.
He had seeded a field of bar
lev and IL made a fine growth until
the drouth came and then it quit
growing all at once. Along came a
late rain and the field OF barley when
had been given up as a total loss gave
a WELD of around 80 bushels to the
acre after all. Mr.. Kluck is a farmer
who does not put all his eggs in n
basket; in other words, he long ago
learned the wisdom of diversified
farming and he practices 1t.
Elmer Beuten of Crystal came IN
Saturday and is spending a day or
two here. Crops are looking hne' the
hest hey have been since he located
in CRYSTAL i've years ago. He and his
mariner. Carl Wright. have overcome
The weeds on the ranch by the liberal
mise of the harrow and this year they
will not be bothered by the pest. MI
Reuten stated that the Bannock hlgh-
way has been damaged to an appre-
lciable extent by the recent heavy rams
aided by a cl%oudburst or two. In
some places wide assures have oeeh
cut into the road and it takes a great
deal of careful driving to get a car
around them. But as long as the
grain fields get the needed rains II Is
all right with the farmers. Road car

a ermanen loss for the season.
