tell us. Girls are largely empoyed

orders would be taken only subject
to the price when received at the fac

the quality of the goods will be much
improved and that more wool will take
the place of the war emergency re-
quirements to save wool.
"Shoes have kept climbing ever

Mr.. Cronkhite, "and they seem to be
the only article which didn't at least
stop momentarily. High wages are

Cronkhite has a new theory over the
high cost of clothes. He says that
everyone was trying to clean up their

This forced a sudden market upon
them, with the return of many sol

No Cure Discovered.
OF course, most every sufferer will
say that there is no cure for hay few
err, and there probably is not, unless
he can discover the pollen which is
causing his particular attacks. But
there are many possible measures for
relief. Some try inhaling menthol,
and use different eye waters for the
eyes, to prevent too free swimming.
Ask others and they will tell you that
a solution of boric acid for the eyes
and any inhalent for the nose is very
soothing and will stop sneezing. There
are still some people who will pro-
claim the healing qualities of the little
cubeb cigarettes, which will III any
attack. Probably the best plan,
though, is to try your own home rem
edies and finding the one you think
will relieve you, stick to 1t and nave
faith in it, for there is a lot of psy-
chology in this disease.
"DOn't' for Hay-Feyerites.
The secret is out why hay fever is
$ o distressing to- the girls. One hap
less girl, with the hay fever tears
streaming down her face, complained
that since she had the hay fever she
didn't dare slap her nose with the
powder puff for it only abetted the
disease and aided the tears in wash
ing off the powder. Another we'll

flowers, unless the sufferer finds that
he is affected by a weed, rather than
a flower pollen. At any rate, 1t is
best to keep away from any garden
and weeds. Many a victim, relieved
for the time being, brings another
violent attack on himself by trying to
weed the garden for his wife on Sun
day. And the joy-killers are deter
mined to add one more heartless don't
to the list and advise that those with
hay fever keep away from the 'oIe
swimmin' hole" or they will only fee
worse.
From a symposium of the opinions
of local doctors as to the causes o.
hay fever, 1t seems to be agreed tina

behind the bill. 1t stands a better
chance in the committee at the pres
ent time and late reports from Wash-s
ington are favorable to the passage
of the bill which has had a difficult
time during the past few weeks. The
change in sentiment in the committee
was brought about by the unified sup
port of the 4,000,00 soldiers repre-
scented by Colonel Lee.
Local members of the American Le-
gion are anxious to get organized and
believe that they will have valuable
constructive work to do at home.
They are watching closely the work
being done in the state and nation and
will line up in such a way as to be
of the greatest benefit to the nation,

Persistence Necessary.
Our delegation in congress is doing

to help formulate such legislation as
may be beneficial to the arid states

promises or forecast just what will
happen, but n thing is certain; ear

accomplish its object, and the Idaho
Reclamation association will not cease
It's efforts until Idaho is reclaimed.
1t will cost $3.50, 000, 900 to reclaim

Pollen Anti-TOxin Helps.

IL the patient can discover the pol
len which causes his irritation, an
anti-toxin, like those prepared to
battle smallpox and typhoid, can be
made from the pollen and applied to
the sensitive parts, and If this Is done
before the hay fever easo starts
there is little chance of trouble that
year.
For those who claim that they got
an attack from riding behind a gray
horse and oddly enough, that seems
to be the only color of horse which
brings on hay fever, they can think of
no cure as yet. In fact, many doc
tors will tell you that there is a lot
of hay fever that is only mental. They
tell you in the first place that the
name is really a misnomer, that hay
fever is really a type of asthmatical
affection, and in many other cases it
affects those with a neurotic condi-
ton, that is, highly nervous. 1t has
been found that people who continu-
ally complain of this Or that gener-
ally find some way to work hay fever
upon themselves, If they have even to
do it mentally.
But that does not necessarily mean,
that all or any large part of hay fe-
yer Is mental. Far from it-proof
of which is any real sufferer. But
keeping ones mind off the subject
will help very much to keep the at
tacks from being too violent.

Glass Would Increase
Amount Of Bonds to
$10,OOO,0OO

Secretary Glass MOnay asked con-
gress to increase the amount of Lib
erty Bonds authorized but unissued to
approximately $4,000, 900 and to
give. him broad powers to determine
the interest rate and other terms OF
the Victory Liberty Loan. to be
Heated late in April. He also
sought permission to issue not more
than $1O,OO0,OOO,O0 600 of treasury
and asked that the war finance cor
poration be authorized for one year
after the declaration of peace to
make commercial loans on exports,
to facilitate foreign trade.
In letter to Chairman Kitchtn,
OF the house ways and means com
mittee, Secretary Glass outlined the
broad policies which the treasury
hopes to follow in dealing with war
loans and other national financial
subjects of the reimbursement period.
The secretary submitted a draft of
bill which would carry out the
treasurys recommendations Spec1h-
cally, this bill would accomplish the
following results:
Raising from $4,000, to
~the Victory Liberty Loan, and per-
nit the treasury to determine what
part of this sum should be sold
Permit the secretary of the treas
ury to determine interest rates on
bonds maturing within ten years, or
the next Liberty Loan, instead of
limiting the rate to 4 IA per cent,
as provided in the present law.
Permit the issue of not more than
$40, 900, 100000, the authorization for
circulating notes having maturities
from one to five years; these might
be sold along with bonds of the
Victory Liberty Loan.
Authorize the issue of bonds and
notes payable at premium.
Exempt war savings certificates
from income sur-taXes.
Confer on the secretary of the
treasury authority to determine the
tax exemption in respect to, future
! issues of bonds and notes, and to en-
large tax exemptions of existing
Liberty Bonds in the hands of SUBJ
! scribers for new bonds and notes.
Reopen the privilege of convert
ing Der cent Liberty Bonds into
4 Las; this privilege expired last No.
vember 9.
Create a 2k per cent cumulative
| sinking fund for retirement of the
, war debt.
Extend the authority of the war
| finance corporation to permit it to
| make loans in aid of American COM
merce. supplementing the aid given
| Nv the treasury on direct loans to
| allied governments, and in a meas
| ure relieving the treasury of de-
mandt for such loans.
! Permit the continuation of loans
| to allies after the war.
Exempt from income sur taxes
anc profits taxes all issues of Lib
| erty Bonds and bonds of the war
finance corporation held abroad.
