1t would be doing the student body,
the teachers, Mr.. Richards, and the pa
irons of the school an injustice to not
mention in connection with the school
work. the splendid record made in war
work activities by the school.
The pupils took active part i'm the
selling of War Savings Stamps. Liberty
Bonds, organized Junior Red Cross
chapters adopted French War Orphans,
solicited and gathered clothing in the
campaigns for the Belgians and later
in the drive for clothing by the Red
Cross. and otherwise lent their assist
ance, and in every instance made EN-
Viablc records.
There is strongly developed feeling
of pride in the individual school, there
always exists the spirit of friendly ri
vary that adds zest to the many con
tests and other events which occur
throughout the school term, but the
unity of purpose, the 'all-Ardmore
community spirit pervadcs the whole,
and makes the Ardmore pubic school
citizenship one of the strongest, most
compelling factors in the citys life.
In speaking of war work, it behooves
one to recall that almost 200 High

Beet Tops and Their
Relation to Sugar

Periodically there arises a farmer
who wants to know things; he is not
satisfied to be told by the agricultural
or by unofficial advisors
that the size of beet tops increases
the contents of sugar in the beet, but
he wants to know the reason why!
This farmer, in the end, will be the
really successful one, and as there
are probably good many of his type
who have not written to sugar for
detailed information on this subject,
but who, nevertheless, want to know,
we repeat here what We told our
inquirer:
Sugar is produced by the action Of
light from the elements of the
atmosphere, by means Of a chemical
reaction on the surfaces of the
leaves. The fresher and larger the
leaves are, and the more light they
obtain, the more sugar they are able
to manufacture. And this sugar Is
collected in the receptacle of the
beet-root, to be recovered by the
diffusion process in the factory.
Beets, Therefore, differ from some
other plants in this respect: l large
foliage above the ground does not
mean that too much of the strength
of the plant has gone into the
leaves, and too little into the root.
But it means that greater area of
sugar production is supplied to the
root Sugar.
The future success of the Ameri-
can, beet sugar industry will depend
largely on farmers who begin now
to apply the most scientific methods
to farming in an effort to bring pro-
duction on each acre to a maximum.

PUBLIC KNOWN FACTS

If radical labor leaders in the
Occur d'Alenes should succeed in
forcing strike they will have dealt
labor and the state a severe blow.
Employees and the public know
that the mining industry as whole
has labored under great handicap
for the past six months due to lack
of orders, falling prices and high
cost of operation.
The mines have made great sacri-
fees in order to operate at all, and
have paid wages higher than prices
of metal justified but they recognised
the fact that living costs had not
dropped, hence wages could not bel
cut to correspond with drop in metal
prices.
Agitators, who start trouble in the
mines of any western state at this
time, can only cause l0ssr of labor.
No strike can be successful If publiC
sentiment is against 1t and the publiC
is aware of the facts in regard t0|
metal mining today, as the situation|
is the same in all western states.

FARMERS OF IDAHO
APPEAL TO DAVIS
Governor Makes Request That Law
Of Water Rights Be Obeyed to
Prevent Further Disaster
WORST SHORTAGE IN 80 YEARS

BOISE, Idaho, June 30.-The
water shortage in the irrigated por-
tions of eastern Idaho is SO acute that
Governor Davis has found it advis-
able to issue a proclamation calling
upon users to comply in every in
stance with the law and not to resort
to drastic measures in breaking
headgates. Reports of headgates
being blown off have reached here.
Z he present water shortage is the
worst in thirty years.
James H. Bischoff, John w. Chat
fin, E. A. Tuntsman, George Risen
may and John F. Shelley of Shelley
wired Governor Davis as follows:
Water situation in the upper
Snake river valley is desperate. I'm
less relief is had at once half Of the
crops will be lost. If the water is
delivered in rotation they can be
saved. We appeal to you to come at
once and thru the reclamation COM
missioner and other officers under
your control take charge of the
situation"
In response to the call Governor
Davis Immediately dispatched Recla-
nation Representative Swendsen,
Engineer John w. Bailey and Alfred
Stone, assistant attorney general, to
the Shelley district. The officials
left Boise today and carry instruc-
lions to exert every means to adjust
the situation.
It is the intention of Governor
Davis to be guided strictly by the
priority of water rights in the adj

state officials will act to protect the

creed rights to early date to the ex-

that the water situation would de-
velop difficulties sooner or later. 1t
was not thought, however, that the
supply would diminish before the
early crops were given fair start,
and as result dry farmers whose
crops are threatened are taking des-
perate means to save portion OF
cir harvest. One instance has been

authorities in the Idaho Falls dis
trict, where Water Master Baldwin
placed lock on headgate with an
| order to keep it closed. Within an
hour after this action had been taken
the lock was broken and the water
loosened. The individual respon-
sible for the act was placed in Gus
tody, but the county attorney, under
whose jurisdiction the case came, re-

The Miracles of
Chateau Thierry

The story of how the Americans
saved Paris is told for the first time
in The Century by Colonel r. H. G.
Kelton, now attached to the General
Staff, but at the time of "The Miracle
of Chateau Thierry," as he calls his
article, Chief of staff to the famous
3rd Division. We reprint below GER
tain salient portions of his story:
"The success Of the Germans in
the big drive in the north-Picardy
in March, Flanders in April
brought the allied morale lower than
before, and Sir Douglas Haig issued
a general order in which he said,
I'VE are fighting with our backs to
the wall" They were, for the Boche
was then bombing all lines Of COM
munication clear back to the channel
coast from Calias almost to Harve
"The Chateau Thierry drive occur
red in the last week of May, and
matters looked desperate. All the
big industrial concerns near Paris
engaged in the manufacture Of am
munition and war material were
moving their plants to points south
of Paris as fast as available trans
portation would permit. All govern
ment bureaus and all banks labored
with records and books, securiet1es
and cash, packed and ready for fight
at moments notice. The situation
seemed hopeless to some and serious
to all.
"Finally, on the evening Of July
IA, prisoners were captured VINO
stated that the attack would take
place that very night at midnight.
The front of attack extended from
the town of Gland, about three
kilometers east Of Chateau Thierry,
and thence east and northeast to the
Montague de Rheims.
"The defeat of the German attack
on July Is along the Marine and to
the east of Rheims forms the first
part of this event an dthe magnifi-
cent counter defensive drive initiated
on July 18 by those five heroic divis-
ions, two American and three French,
may well be called the demonstration
of the miracle, for in those three days
the morale Of all the allies had been
born anew.
"The German high command was
bewildered; they had counted it an
easy step in their operations toward
Paris and ultimate victory. Hertling,
the German chancellor, three days
before his death stated that he was
convinced on July 1, 1918, that the
allies would propose peace before
September. He said: We expected
grave events in Paris before the
fifteenth of July. But on the eigh-
tenth even the most optimistic
among us knew that all was lost.
The history Of the world was played
out in those three days.
Before closing I shall try to show
what conceive to be an explanation
Of this miricle of Chateau Thierry,
even tho miracles are not supposed
to be explained. As the months OF
1913 passed by, and only six divis-
ions were in France when the Ger
man offensive opened, the opinion
was often. expressed and repeated

gates from all parts Of the state. The
following resolution was adopted
unanimously:
Be it resolved by the first Idaho
state convention of the American
Legion that,
Whereas, the problem presented by
the so-called social disease is one Of
the most serious the nation is called
upon to face, and
Whereas, the experience of mili-
tarys authorities has developed the
inescapable fact that this menace
must be combated both vigorously
and candidly, and,
Whereas, Idaho has the unpalat-
able distinction of being the only
state in the union which has failed
to cooperate fully with venereal
disease bureau of the United States
public health service.
Now therefore, be it resolved:
That this body heartily endorses the
campaign being made by the Idaho
department of public welfare for
