From the worst-from the very
worst.
From the class OF women who've
never been seen by nice French
girls.
From the poor. little. white-faced.
consumptive, sick morally and men
tally and physically sick of the very
worst quarter Of the town.
What fashion designer saw them
and made them the fashion in
America?
I'd like to go into every shop in
this country and clutch every girl
by the shoulder and rumple up her
hair and make IL look like hair
again, and not like a lot of sleek
slimsy sewing silk, pasted on her
head with glue.
I'd like to straighten up her back
and throw back her shoulders and
take the white paint off her face
and beg her TO let her eyebrows
grow out, and fall on my Bonded
knees and ask her in the name Of
common humanity to try to look like
a real person again-just for once.
Why even some school teachers
got the fad! 1 saw a little kinder

looked like a ghost come from the

Adaho's Future.

We who know of the vast resources
hidden within the state of Idaho's soil
or have seen the poor man come out
of the east and become independently
wealthy within a short time through
the fertility of its lands, have never
doubted but that the future would
find US citizens of the commanding
agricultural as well as mining state
of the union.
And these postwar days of recon-
struction mean the realization of our
golden dreams. There is a deep sig
nificance in the statement of an army
officer who returned the other day 10
his home when he says: Hundreds
of men in our camp came to me when
they heard l was from Idaho. They
wanted to locate here. They asked
me about the possibilities of the coun-
try; its recources; its climate, and its
people. An Idaho booster and lover,

IS NO LONGER FOOLS GOLD"
Pyrtes, Source of Sulphuric Acid, Has
Been In Great Demand Since
Outbreak of War.

Years and years ago, even before
the interstate commerce commission,
the Stars and Stripes or Uncle Joe
Cannon were born, the early arrivals
of southern colony dropped their
hoes and went to mining for gold.
why raise food when the mountains
were full Of gold?" they asked as they
ieaded a ship with the shining ore.
Alasl the metallurgists of England
said 1t was not gold. Visions Of
wealth were dissipated. Worse yet.
The summer was over; the harvest
was past, and they had laid up no
food for winter. In bitterness of spirt
1t the shining ore was called fools
gold" and succeeding generations left
1t undisturbed in the Southern hills.
Some centuries later the breath OF
Mars blew over the land. America
was called for its every resource.
Steel, copper, ammunition and food
stuffs were required in enormous
quantities. Their production depend
upon the supply of sulphuric acid In
hitherto undreamed Of quantities. The
ores from which it is extracted are
imported from Spain, and there are no
ships to spare.
"What can do?" asked South
ern man as he walked into Secretary
Lanes office.
Find the pyrites in the Southern
hills" was the reply.
Done" was the reply, and he found
them.
In few weeks the five mines al
ready opened will produce 1000 tons
a day, and save the continuous en-
ployment Of Is vessels, while the sup
ply Of sulphuric acid is. assured. I

Government Grades Wool.

The system the government has adj
opted in grading wool should be an
educator to the wool grower Each
growers wool is sorted in piles &C
cording to grade, and one look at the
. report sheet will clearly show that
there is vast difference in breeds of
sheep as well as the care. AS an ex-
ample, out of several lots of wool
shipped by the Moss Mercantile Co.
one rancher's wool amounting to 1913
pounds, there were nine different
grades ranging in price from fifty
and one-quarter cents to seventy-two
and one-fourth cents per pound. The
report shows the breed of sheep from
which the wool was taken and should
be guidance to the grower as to the
best breed to handle, as one breed will
cost no more to raise than another. A
small band of sheep can be handled on
ranch with more real profit than
any other stock, but the best breed
should be obtained.

To Have House Painted.

1t was simple boyish letter writ
ten In London by youth from Wor-
cester, Mass, with little bit of news,
little bit of complaint, and a great
big bit of confidence in what he and
the Americans were going to do; but
the better part by far was: II have
saved my pay for some time now, and
want to give dad a surprise by hav-
ing the old house painted. Won't you
please let me know how much 1t will
cost? and I'll send you the money and
leave the rest to you, but you mustn't
let dad know who is paying for it."

the missing and reported as prison
er, read the name of the aviator who
wrote the letter.-The Outlook.

State Treasurer,s office.

This office is in receipt of a bien-

office which covers period from DC
tober l, 1916, to September 80, 1918
which we consider a splendid showing
under the management of John W.
Eagleson, our present state treasurer
The business of the treasurer's office
is certainly conducted in a compre-
hensivea and economical manner. The
work at TIE office has greatly increas-
ed during the last four years and yet
the work has been taken care of with
cut any extra employees. The saving
made during the first two years
amounts to about $95, 900 over and
above that of his predecessors, and
during the last two years an additional
OF over SIS 900, which would make a
net saving to the people of Idaho
during tie last four years of about
