states of the former AustroHun-
garian empire can pay for the food
sent them by the allied powers.
Payment may be taken by charg-

gold. The French. however, hesi-
tate TO permit this diversion of

WITH THE EXTENSION PEOPLE

sible absolutely to control ventilation
in this house. The shed roof>is always
good. 1t has but one defect. In or
der to get the proper depth it is nee
essary to build such a house higher
than is practicable. Plans for these
houses can be had on the same terms
as for the Woods type.
Practical economy should be prac-
ticed. That is to say, the housing cost
per fowl should be made as light as
is consistent with good practice. Many
times poultry houses are unnecessarily
expensive. This is not the rule, how
ever: the average farmer robs him
self by cheating the. hen.
The hen must have a good home. 1t
need not be elaborate but it must be
comfortable. There is absolutely no
excuse for not properly housing the
fowls. Idaho has wealth of mex
pensive material. Some of the best
poultry houses in Idaho are built of
lava rock, using clay for mortar The
only expense to these houses is the
roof. a little wire and lumber for the
front and door, and probably a little
glass. If Gas may be true in some
nstances) it is felt that the money
cannot be spared to roof such houses
properly, this difficulty may be easily
overcome. Use poles for ribs and COW
err with straw. All that is necessary
in this extreme, is to remove the straw
each year, thoroughly disinfect all in
terror parts of the house and cover
with fresh straw.
Some of the best fowls that are
grown in Idaho, live in straw houses.
1t is often necessary, when making u
start, and particularly in a new coun-
try, to practice every principle of econ
omy. Economy should be practiced
along practical lines. 1t is always
practical to house the poultry, so that
it may contribute properly to the fam
lily income.

KARLE'S VOICE WINS
WIDESPREAD PRAISE

The recently expressed opinions of
Theo Karle, the American tenor who
will be heard here In the Pinney the
atre, on next Friday evening, are con-
sistently fine, almost to the point of
monotony, except that some of the
writer's have been hard put to find
new expression Of praise for this young
American with one of the most beau
tiful lyric tenor voices ever produced
in this country.
Taken at random from papers as
widely differing in character as in geo.
graphical location, his critiques read:
Mr.. Karle has voice Of great tonal
beauty" HE sings in a clean straight
forward fashion with a voice that is
equally good throughout its wide range.
"A glorious voice. zone of the most
remarkable voices on the concert stage,
there is no limit to what he can do"
FROM MUSICAL PAPERS
From papers devoted exclusively to
music, the following expressions are
quoted: "Theo Karle is the finest ten
or voice we have ever heard at the
Festival. Maine Festival) He pos
sesses a remarkably telling sympathet-
ic voice." Applause prevented him
from proceeding with his program"
Mr.. Karle's voice is of beautiful nat
ural quality. He challenges COMPARE
son by singing three of the best known
operate arias and acquitted himself
with credit in all of them" won his
spurs instantaneously. Aside from his
and manly ways always
welcome, but seldom found in a tenor
Karle's claims to pronounced recog-
milton are a voice of singular sweetness
infused with warmth, a rare command
of the singing art, and a freshness and
zest in delivery that is inspiring and
He is without doubt the
tenor find of the day."

Against Him by Publisher in

me.
my friends will hire the hall. He
will get half the tickets; he will get
the assurance of an absolutely fair and
square deal. He can get up on the
platform and ask me any question he
likes about my loyalty"
The governor said the New York
Evening Journal would not have at
hacked him IF he had shown the prop
er degree of subservience to the owner
of the paper, a subserVience that car
ries a public man to the very point of
humiliation"
But I refused to pay the price"
Smith said.
Preceding his challenge to Hearst,
Governor Smith said:
Il would not have one of you go
away from here today without know
ing that l feel injured in my heart
over the attack upon me for one great
neason-and that was that it looked
like an attack upon my loyalty to the
kind of people l came from.
1T was just at this time a year ago
that every small municipality in a
