THE SALVATION LASSIES.

(Nita Guernsey Symonds, in New
York Times).
You've seen them, I know, as you
pass to and fro,
pass to and fro,
The Lassies with bonnets of blue;
They're doing the work that most
of US shirk,
And bravely th're it too.
They seek out the people that no
one else wants,
Their Master in each face they
see
"Insomuch as ye did it to one of
these souls,
The same ye have done unto Me-"
And when our own soldiers went
over the sea
To fight for the loved ones left
here,
Oh, the Lassies went too, to cook
bake and brew,
With never doubt or q fear.
So now they are asking your help in
their Drive,
So that others they'll help if they
can,
For "Down but noat out" is theil
slogan to all
Their message from God unto
man!

H. r. Smith went to Spokane with
A. S. Frost of the Idaho Garage and
bought six-cylinder Oldsmobile of
the very latest type. Mr.. Smith took
the wheel after they had left Spokane
nine miles and drove the car every
mile from there to Moscow This was
his initial attempt at driving a car
and he is today receiving consratuia-
tions of his many friends on his sue
cess. He says he was not tired after
reaching Moscow and really enjoyed
the drive immensely, being free from
the nervous tension which So haT-
nesses new drivers. Mr.. Smith is one
of the pioneers of this county and says
he decided he has walked long enough
and far enough to entitle him and Mrs.
Smith and their son, Harvey j., to ride
in style and comfort.

SAYS MIDDLE WEST
VERY PROSPEROUS
DIR. BAKER SAYS ABUNDANT
RAINFALL INSURES CROPS
AND PROSPERITY

DIR. +. L, Baker, who returned last
evening from attending the Illinois
State Veterinary association said:
1.-The middle west is experiencing the
most prosperous year ever known. In
contrast with us, they have had al
most too much rain in the Mississippi
valley, and the crops were delayed
somewhat in planting on this account.
In taking 250-mile auto trip through
Illinois from Chicago to Champaign,
by way of Kankakee, Bloomington
and Decature, we saw corn over fence
high, while the hay, oats and wheat
were looking fine. Land is soaring in
price, ordinary farms selling for from
$500 to $500 per acre, the average be-
ing around $3.50.
Gravel is very heavy, due to rapid
demobilizatlon of the army and navy,
but the train service is excellent.
Over 1000 wounded soldiers are
quartered at Fort Sheridan, near Chi
cago, and the Great Lakes Naval
Training station seems almost as big
as Camp Lewis.
Northern Montana is certainly a
desolate place, and many homestead
ers who can afford it are shipping
their stock to Michigan for pasture.
Crops are normal in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, and the dry belt extends
as far east as Minot, North Dakota.
Business is very good in Chicago;
hotels are crowded and everyone
seems to have money, although prices
are outlandish. One golf club near
Evanston raised their initiation fee to
SIS 900, with plenty of applicants.
"The University of Illinois is
institution, and is doing
much valuable work for the people of
their state. With an income of nearly
six million, they are independent of
politics.
DR.. Baker says many middle west
ern cities are oiling their streets and
keeping them in fine condition Oil
or this purpose costs % cents a gal
on, but they find it pays to use it.

'MONTANA'S CROPS
RUINED BY DR0UTH
WORST CONDITIONS IN HISTORY
OF. STATE REPORTED
BY FIELD AGENT

MISSOULA, Mont.-The lowest
crop condition figures ever recorded
in the state are reported by Field
Agent Guy Fitzpatrick, of the United
States bureau of crop estimates, re-
leased here today. The report indi-
Gates drop of 37.8. per cent since
June /, in the average condition fig
ures of thirteen leading crops, the
average being 36.1 on July :.
The total loss in the wheat crop
now is approximately 23,250,0OO
bushels, according to the report.
On July l winter wheat gave
promise of less than a quarter crop,
or 23 per cent Of normal for total
of but 4,O23,OOO bushels. The spring
wheat acreage, the largest ever seed
ed, will produce about 83 per cent OF
a normal crop. The combined pro-
duction is placed at 15,547,O0O as
against 38,768,OOO bushels indicated
earlier in the season.
Oats, barley, rye, corn and flax
