Most men do not perceive fine diff
ferences of shade and texture in
women. And it is almost as foolish
to let them choose their wives us it
would be to let them select the we'd
ding dress.
Almost any man is the raw ma
terial of a good husband. But you
have to be a competent chef to turn
him out finished product. Some
wives have the idea that a husband
Is such a dangerous being that he
needs to be muzzled and chained in
side the front door. But neither love
nor even fidelity has ever been COM
PEELED by petty eXactions.
"Old wines, old books, old loves
are best. What person who has an
old love-a love with mellow flavor,
a rich ripeness, rare bouquet, would
exchange it for a new one? Only an
emotional parvenu, an admirer of
plush furniture, hotel lobby art, rail
road station flower beds. And he de-
serves what happens to him.

GREAT CHANGES AHEAD.

Vision has come TO some men of
far sight that the end of the war
marks the beginning Of the modern
world; that November II, 1918, was
the real dividing line between ancient
and modern history. That may be
true. If this new Christcndom shall
have it's foundation laid in the prin-
ciples set forth in the four gospels
with peace on earth because there is
good will among men, and good will
among men because they are doing
right toward each other, then in truth
this is the beginning Of modern his
tory
Many men of good will are now
saying that to fit this new era the
Christian church must undergo fund
amental changes; that it cannot now
depend wholly upon receiving people
by the narYowsfront door of repent
ance, confession, forsaking and re-
ceiving forgiveness of sin, but that it
must bring the world into the church
through the double doors of the gym
nasium and dining room; that more
people must be reached by the plain
preaching of the gospel; that the
church must give the glad hand to
more pople. for half empty il can do
but half work The religious social
organizations in camp and field go
far toward strengthening the argu-
ment. At least they emphasize the
value of the social side of religious
work.
1t is a. most desirable thing, and an
end worth a whole lifes striving, to
bring men by the millions into
clean, morally wholesome atmosphere
for their social recreations. If the
church could get the whole outside
world no nearer the pulpit than the
church dining room or the gymna-
SUM, it would have secured a great
victory provided the pulpit was still
so powerful that its spirit pervaded
the dining room and the gymnasium
But a church where men may sit
down perfectly comfortable in their
sins, where men may come and go
satisfied with the things they have
been doing and living. is no church at
all. 1t may be a successful lodge or
club 1t may do much good, but it is
not the church Christ came to found
On the other hand, the church that
confines its work to a series of thou
shalt-nots, that breaches against a lot
of innocent amusements and IS over
particular about observance of Sun
day as religious Sabbath. that sees
the boys and the girls who dance on
the road to hell, will not get farther
than it is now, and it may not hold
its present position of influence
Men above everything else want to
see the divine standard of right and
wrong and to know how their lives
compare with that standard, and they
are going to regard the doing of good
to others as the standard, rather than
professions Of how good persons are
on the inside. while displaying cold
uncharity on the outside.
Also the young men who have
chummed with death in the trenches
and on the fields of France are not
going to be impressed very much by
this or that religious form or cere-
mony. Two prayers before and a
prayer and benediction after the ser
mon is not going to appeal to them
as essential to any religion to which
they would attach themselves.

CONSEQUENCES.


Strewed acorns on the lea
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into a tree
Love sought its shade at evening time,
To breathe his early VOWS
And Age was pleased, in heats of noon
To bask beneath its houghs:
The dormouse loved it's dangling tWigs,
The birds sweet music bore;
1t stood a glory in its place,
a blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost it's way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped well
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that all might drink.
He paused again, and To- the well.
BY summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching
tongues
And saved a life besides.
A dreamer dropped a random thought
Twas old, and yet twas new;
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong in being true.
1t shone upon a genial mind,
And 10, its light became
lamp of life, a beacon's ray,
A mOnitory flame.
The thought was small its issue great
A watchfire on the hill,
1t shed its radiance far adown.
And cheers the valley still.
A nameless man. amid q crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath
1t raised brother from the dust,
1t saved soul from death.
Q germ O fount, o word of love,
o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first
But mighty at the last.

WIVES.

"a man seldom finds his ideal wife.
because she is really two wives-one
to be proud of and the other to make
him comfortable.
THE simple, everyday despisee
domestic virtues are the common
heritage of the woman every man
thinks he married. The ideal wife
of course, is a cross between Cleo
patra and little brown hen, and
whether he domesticates the siren or
the fowl he will spend the rest Of
his life trying to make the little hen
look like a Bird of Paradise or teach
ing Cleopatra how to cluck II YOU
cannot be domestic, be as domestic as
you can.

think, is that they are-they want to

as America discovered after keeping
out of the war three years, the price
of peace may become too high. My

that every wife may be able to pre-
serve the domestic peace without
paying her own personality as the
price. .

Lost One Leg

Lee S. Baxter stopped over Sunday
in Blackfoot on his way home to
Challis after service in the army. Mr..
Baxter lost leg in the good fight
and is on crutches. He Is still in the
army and under care of army
physicians; at present on a thirty
day furlough.
Determined to Stay
John Harmon, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Harmon finds France not so
poor a place to stay in. He had to
steer with care to get into the army
for lack of age and when he got in
they sent hi INTO a camp in Florida.
He got into the field artillery, but
seeing a chance to get over the water
he transferred into the @. M. corps
and went across with cattle, but had
to return. Finally he got over, and
not long after that the armistice
stopped everything. His outfit
started home, and he wasn't ready.
He applied for a job as cook, and
they are the last to go home. When
he had fed the bunch until there was
none left to feed, he transferred into
the base hospital service to avoid
coming home. Can you imagine 1t,
soldier? Young Harmon knows
what he is doing; he is in country
where there is much to see, for all
open eyes.
Looking at Homesteads
A carload of ex-soldiers came to
Blackfoot Monday morning. They
are all from the middle west, from
Iowa and Ohio and their tour is one
of inspection of land opportunities,
under the guidance of Union Pacific
official. There were about thirty
boys in the bunch. They went up the
Mackay branch to look around Arco
and the Lost river region.
In the Lost Battalion
Cyrus c. Tolman, son of Mrs. G.
Tolman, arrived in Blackfoot Friday
evening. He was a machine gunner
in the 91st division, trained at Camp
Lewis. He was little over year
in the service; he went over the top
five times and came home without
scratch.
More than that, Tolman was one
of the famous Lost Battalion, whose
Exploits one of the most romantic
bits Of the great war history. That
battalion of Americans pushed too
far into German lines, became cut
off and in a ravine open to enemy
fire they kept off the enemy until
after about three days they were
rescued The Germans, seeing that
the Americans were among them, in
poor position and inferior in num-
bers, politely asked for their sur
render. The major commanding the
lost battalion told the Germans to
60 way down to Hades; he wasn't
listening to any such proposals. And
so the Germans tried to drown them
in shot and shell, bot did not rush
the position. Finally an airplane
found that plucky battalion fighting
for it's existence, without food and
water and we'll nigh without hope
And the airplane brought news OF
help coming This is something OF
the story of the lost battalion, as
picked up from newspapers and
hearsay. Tolman could possibly
make a real story of it.
