ARE WE THE WISE ONES?

He was sitting in the sun on a
pile of lumber. Beside him lay the
kit of a vagrant umbrella mender
and he had just unwrapped huge
sandwich of bread and meat which
some hospital woman had given him.
"Good morning." we saluted cheer
fully as we passed, for there was
something in the sunshine that made
US feel genial. "Good moning," he
responded with equal cheerfulness as
he cast aside the wrapping from his
sandwich and eyed the generous slices
of bread with satisfaction.
AS we sat down at the desk and be-
came busy with the mornings mail we
could not get the tramp umbrella
mender out Of our mind. Always
which is the wise mantle happy go

who struggles to make something of
himself and keep up appearances
The first letter opened was a no.
tice from the bank that note we had
discounted two months ago had not
been paid and we were called upon to
take it up. My friend on the lum-
Der pile never knew the joy of being
compelled to replace money he had
earned and spent because the fellow
that owed him had defaulted. The
next envelope contained bill for
considerable sum. True, it wasn't
due, but it cited the fact that prices
were advancing. Viciously the knife
was thrust into the next envelope.
Here was a good, vigorous kick. A
foreign advertisement in the last is
sue had not been inserted at the top
of the column as was specified in the
contract. Oh, things were breaking
lovely this beautiful morning.
We showed aside the mail and won

MT our scheme Of civilization all
wrong? Which was the wiser-the
tramp or the business man? The
vagrant breathes the same pure air.
He had his BREAKFAST, minus the
grapefruit, it is true, but just as
nourishing as our. He collected for
the job as soon as it was completed.
Soon the cool sweet summer nights
will close over him as he lies upon
some grassy bank and gazes up at the
stars, while the chorus Of croaking
frogs lulls him t osleep. The price
of gasoline has no terrors for him. He
can travel while we must stay here
and get out the paper for an unappre-
ciative public. If he loses dime he
cusses and goes on his way. He does
MT have to take a bath unless he
wants to and when he does he plunges
into cool creek and dries himself in
the sun, while we have to scrub out
the tub. He can just be his own lazy
independent self while we must keep
up the eternal bluff. II we never
write another line for this sheet you
may know we've chucked the whole
darn thing and gone out to live as
our forefathers did before they in
augurated this wonderful system Of
civilization.

FARMING CONDITIONS
Farming conditions throughout the
state continue to be exceptionally
favorable - aresult of the general
rains that prevail during the latter
part of April. The rainfall at this
time was heaviest in the northern
and eastern parts of the state, being
more than two inches in some dis
tricts. It was somewhat lighter on
the western slope, but was generally
ample for the needs Of the farmers.
Winter wheat il making rapid pro-
gress and indications still point to
a yield of fully 100000 bushels.
more winter wheat than the state has
ever produced Of winter and spring
wheat combined. Farm work was ma
terially delayed by the rains, but is
now advancing rapidly. Spring
wheat is in excellent condition and
the greater part of the sugar beet
crop has been planted. Reports re-
ceived by the state Cooperative Crop
Service indicate that there
will be a decrease in the acreage of
pinto beans. For most other crops an
acreage is indicated with the
largest increases in wheat and sugar

Because gingham and Organdie are
SO familiar and unpretentiOus we are
always delighted to find them reap
pearing each season in frocks that have
every claim to beauty. And women
are coming to realize the distinction
of the successful dress that is made
Of an ordinary fabric, handled with
consummate art. There is something
sterling about it, something, in fact,
more out of the ordinary than can be
found in frock that depends upon
novelty In material for its success. Old
friends are best in fabrics, and when
they appear in frocks as pleasing as
that pictured above they are thrice
welcome. Imagine what sensation
they would make If we had never seen
them before.
This summer we find smart frOcks
made up in the same designs, Of
either bingham, chambray or sport
silk, and organdle or dotted swiss
combined with silk as well as cotton
goods. On cottons old-fashioned rick
rack braid reappears and is cleverly
used as finish for edges and to en-
phasize lines. 1t looks well in COM
pany with chambray, Bingham or Eng
fish prints for morning dresses. When
organdie and glngham are as skim

There has been considerable talk of
the corsetless figure and much more
drawing of it. When artists picture
morning frocks or afternoon gowns,
and even suits, they hang them on
graceful but emaciated figures calcu-
lated to make us envy our adOrably
thin sisters and to remind us of the
question put by that naive Japanese
lady who asked, "Where do they put
their stOmachs" Judging by few late
photographs she would not be impelled
to ask that question now. But the
seasons styles are kind to the natural
lines of the figure and just why fashion
artists continue to draw inhuman crea-
lures is a mystery not solved. Any
way, they inspire indolent ladies to
train down and to diet and do sundry
other things in the pursuit of slender
ness.
"COrsetless" Is not to be taken too
literally-it really means a figure that
looks uncOrseted, with lines like those
In the normal youthful body. The best
The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1919-06-11

cOrsetS are too comfortable and too
flattering as Il rule to be relinQuished.
They are probably the foundation Of
the good lines, truthfully portrayed by
photographs, in the two suits shown
above. In one Of them a dress and
coat takes the place of the usual three
piece combination. The dress is of
figured silk with the lower half Of the
skirt made of plain wool material and
long narrow girdle of the same goods.
The long coat Of one of the new rough
silks is cut on the lines of the Chinese
coat and is bordered with another silk
in palmer weave. Small buttons set
on the side seams are very attractive
as finish.
The plain box coat over a draped
skirt, shown, in the other picture, is an
excellent model for pongee or other
heavy silk for summer wear. Black
embroidery on the coat and sleeves,
and oblong buttons at the top and
bottom of the front lend character and
elegance to the design.

FEED CROPS TO LIVE STOCK
Investigations Show Profit From
Feeding Steers on Surplus Corn
and Roughage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
That the southern farmer who raises
surplus of corn and farm roughage
can market them ut a handsome price
through steers of good quality, when
properly purchased, and can retain
fertilizing elements of the feeds on
his farm. is clearly shown in recent
Investigations by the United States
department of agriculture.
Three lots of native steers, grade
animals two to three years old, of
medium good quality. and averaging
about 1926 pounds at the beginning Of
the experiment, were fed for about
five months on full feed. The ami
mails In lot l received daily allow
ance of 39.1 pounds of corn silage, 81
pounds of cOttOnseed meal, 40 pounds
of ont straw; those of lot 2, 37.4
pounds of corn silage, 7.6 pounds of
ear corn, 3 pounds of cottonseed meal,
and % pounds of Oat straw; and the
steers of lot 3, 1875 pounds of corn
silage, 6 pounds shelled corn, pounds
cottonseed meal, and 35 pounds of
Oat straw.
At marketing time these groups of
animals averaged, respectively, 1,O44,
1859, and 1,O66 pounds an ANIMAL the
teeves of lot l having accomplished a
daily gain of 1.56 pounds, those of lot
,. 1.66 pounds, and the animals of
group 3. IL pounds during the feed
ing period.
When the pork made is credited to
the steers Of lots and 3, they paid
for corn at 20 cents bushel, and
then made over $14 a head profit, or
almost as much income as resulted
from the cOttOnseed meal-fed steers.
Without hogs following the steers the
feeding of corn would have been con-
siderably less profitable than feeding
cottOnseed meal alone 1t cost 1888
to make 100 pounds of gain in the
case of lot 1, $1OS2 for lot 2, and $1O.75
for lot 3, where no pork credit is given
the steers. Each steer in lots 1, and
3 made net profit of $15.19, $11.S7,
and $11.4S, respectively, when no
credit is given the steers of lots 2
and 3 for the pork produced. This
pork credit probably amounted to
about So steer.

fully managed as they have been In
the frock pictured above they can in
vite comparison with more pretentious
materials in afternoon dresses.
The picture sets forth this dress so
well that 1t is hardly worth while to
describe it. The fichu of organdie,
edged with narrow val lace, is i'm.

else to give the style flavor of quaint
ness. With canvas shoes and Il wide
brimmed white hat the whole toilette
is as cool and crisp as breeze from
the sea. Visions Of old-fashioned gar
dens, with hollyhocks and hedges,

the wake of such frocks. making US
