From Jeftie B. Hill

Oct. 8, 1918-France is quite busy
country. / would like to be home and
tell you everything. l have been to
the front and over the top and feel
fine and dandy. l have had some ex-
perience, but l can't tell you about it.
Hope to sometime, though l am
sleeping with a fellow from Boise.
am the only one here from Emmett.

some hospital and may not get back
to his company.
Well, Pop, your way of fighting is
a good one Water elm clubs are quite
frequently used over here. Don't
think we will be in France forever, be-
cause the Germans are falling back
fast. Whatever you hear at home is
straight goods. 1t is just pouring
down rain today, but, we are in nice
dry place, so don't care how hard it
pours. This is certainly the greatest
country for rain that l ever saw l
believe it has the western coast beaten
by far. | am driving a truck now. The
roads are much better than we have in
Idaho, so it isn't such hard job. Ev-
eryone in this company is looking good
and is not complaining.
Am very busy and outside of
little cold l am feeling fine. Am with
the trucks so have good place to
sleep. The last letter from home was
dated Sept. Is, so our mail service is
getting better all the time Haven't
much time to write, but try to head
two letters for home each week. Must
close and get to work on the car. Hope
this finds you all we'll. Now don't
worry one bit over me, l want you to
ook when | get home like you did
when left you.

YIELDS APPLE OF SOD0M"
Curious Plant Which Grows on the
Borders Of the Dead Sea Pro-
duces This Fruit.

The Dead sea is situated In the
southeast part of Palestine, and Is
called by the Arabs Bahr Loot. or Sea
of Lot. II Is about AZ miles long, with
an average breadth of nine miles. Its
depth varies considerably. 1t Is fed
by the Jordan from the north, and by
many other streams, but has no ap-
parent outlet, Its superfluous water be-
Ing supposed to be entirely carried Off
by the evaporation. The north
shores of the sea are marked by the
blackened trunks and branches of
trees which are incrusted with salt, as
is everything that Is exposed to the
spray Of this sea.
On the southern shore is the remark
able mass of rock called Udsum (Sod-
om). 1t Is narrow. rugged ridge of
hill extending five miles northwest,
and consisting Of rock salt. To the
north of Udsum, and at no great dis
lance, Is the supposed site of the an
cient Sodom.
On the borders of the Dead sea a
curious plant grows which yields fruit
called the apple of Sodom," beautiful
on the outside but bitter to the taste.
and, when mature, filled with fiber and
dust.
The mean level of the Dead sea Is
1902 feet below the level of the Medi-
terranean. The water contains from
"a to 20 per cent of salts, of which 7
per cent Is common salt. A saltwater
fish put into the Dead sea perishes at
once. Owing to Its density due to
salt the water of the sea Is very buoy.

SENTIMENT ALL RIGHT, BUT
Youngsters Reason for Buying carna-
tions Knocked All Pathos Out
of the Incident.

He was a poorly dressed youngster
of perhaps fourteen years.
His trousers were shabby, and there
was only one button on his thin coat.
He wasn't tall enough to push through
the crowd of women around the bar
gain countey where fresh carnations
were on sale at two cents each.
Finally a saleswoman saw the grimy
hand reaching out, with six moist pen
MES and a shiny dime in it, and in an
swer to his 81 want eight, please, all
colors," he received an assortment Of
pink, red and white flowers, all show
Ing more or less the effect of rough
handling.
A woman who stood near by built
up a pretty little story about him.
She was certain he was a little news
boy, and that the flowers were for his
mother, who probably was Ill in free
hospital.
Tenderly the child adjusted the It's
sue paper around the carnations, and
a queer little smile curved his lips.
"Are your pretty flowers for your
MOTHER little boy?" asked the senti-
mental bystander.
"Naw," answered the youth with
an impish grin, they're for my girl"

YOUTH AT A DISADVANTAGE
Younger Men Are Ineffective In OBJ
tanning Credit as Well as In the
Control Of Workmen.

Christian Girl president of the
Standard Parts company of Cleveland.
o., says In the American Magazine:
"When man of noticeably youthful
appearance goes to a cautious banker
seeking to finance even the soundest
kind Of proposition. his line Of argu-
ment Is discounted before he says a
word. by his youthful looks The
banker is afraid of being carried away
by mere boyish enthusiasm and Is on
his guard. If were much under thir-
ty-five and had tiptop business
scheme to finance. I would get an old
err man of established reliability and
conservatism to present 1t for me to
the bankers.
"Youth Is not always so good. either.
In the production end of big busl-
ness-handling force of men and
getting the work out of them. In the
first place. the man who is bossing the
job should have occupied all the lesser
Jobs between him and the bottom rung
of the ladder. This requires time.
And. furthermore, men do not like to
work under boss who looks too much
like mere boy. no matter how smart
or capable or experienced he may be.
It isn't necessary that he be ms old as
most of them, but he should be old
enough to give an impression of ma
turity. The average workman doesn't
care much whether the boss Is thirty
or forty. hut 1t might make differ
ence whether he is thirty or only
twenty"

Human Brain Is Heaviest.

Except for the whale. the elephant
and the porpoise, no living thing has
brain which weighs as much as the
minimum of the humans. In the entire
human nervous system, according to
the estimates of Professor Donaldson.
there Is the astounding total Of 1900
100000 nerve cells. In the study of
these cells and their grouped relation
to the FIVE divisions of the brain as
well as to the functions which they
perform. several classes OF scientific
investigators are engaged.
